EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) to Form 8-A (the “Registration Statement”) is being filed pursuant to Section 12(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), by KKR & Co. Inc., a Delaware corporation (“KKR Co.”), as the successor registrant to KKR & Co. L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“KKR LP”).  Effective at 12:01 a.m. (Eastern Time) on July 1, 2018, KKR LP converted from a Delaware limited partnership to a Delaware corporation (the “Conversion”).

KKR Co. expressly adopts the Registration Statement, as modified by this Amendment, as its own registration statement for all purposes of the Exchange Act. The Series B Preferred Stock will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “KKR PRB.”
