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)	These securities are held by a limited partnership established for estate planning purposes, whose general partner is a limited liability company of which the Reporting Person is the sole member and investment manager.
(2)	The limited partnership received KKR Group Partnership Units from KKR Holdings L.P. in exchange for units of KKR Holdings L.P. and exchanged such KKR Group Partnership Units for common units of KKR & Co. L.P. in each case as described in footnote 3 below.
(3)	Pursuant to an exchange agreement as contemplated by KKR & Co. L.P.'s prospectus dated September 21, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 23, 2011, units of KKR Holdings L.P. are exchangeable for KKR Group Partnership Units (which term refers collectively to Class A partner interests in each of KKR Management Holdings L.P. and KKR Fund Holdings L.P.) on a one-for-one basis, and KKR Group Partnership Units are exchangeable for common units of KKR & Co. L.P. on a one-for-one basis.
(4)	Reflects a weighted average sale price. These common units were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $17.62 to $18.07, inclusive. The Reporting Person will provide, upon request by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Issuer, or a security holder of the Issuer, full information regarding the number of common units sold at each separate price.
(5)	Reflects a weighted average sale price. These common units were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $17.50 to $17.63, inclusive. The Reporting Person will provide, upon request by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Issuer, or a security holder of the Issuer, full information regarding the number of common units sold at each separate price.
(6)	These securities are held by a limited liability company established for the purpose of making charitable donations of which the Reporting Person is a member and manager.
(7)	Reflects a transfer of 220,000 KKR Holdings L.P. units from the limited partnership 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.
Remarks: Pursuant to Rule 16a-1(a)(4) under the Exchange Act, the Reporting Person states that this filing shall not be an admission that the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of any of the securities reported herein as indirectly beneficially owned, and the Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such securities except to the extent of the Reporting Person's pecuniary interest therein.
