Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) 18,270 restricted equity units of KKR & Co. L.P. vested on April 1, 2013 and were settled for common units of KKR & Co. L.P. on a one-for-one basis. The remaining 86,406 restricted equity units consist of 36,541 and 49,865 units of KKR & Co L.P., which will generally vest in equal annual installments over a two-year and three-year period, respectively, with the next vesting on April 1, 2014, and upon vesting, may be settled by delivery of common units of KKR & Co. L.P. on a one-for-one basis.
(2) Reflects the transfer of 5,000 common units of KKR & Co. L.P. from a KKR-related holding vehicle to the Reporting Person. This transfer, which was exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 16a-13 under the Exchange Act, merely changed the form of the Reporting Person's pecuniary interest in such securities from indirect to direct.
(3) These common units of KKR & Co. L.P. are held by a limited liability company established for the purposes of making charitable donations of which the Reporting Person is a member and a manager.
