364-day revolving credit agreement
On April 4, 2024, KKR Capital Markets Holdings L.P. and certain other capital market subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers”) of KKR & Co. Inc.
(together with its subsidiaries, “KKR”) replaced their existing 364-day revolving credit agreement with a new 364-day revolving credit agreement with a later maturity (the “364-Day Agreement”) with Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as administrative agent, and
the lenders party thereto. The 364-Day Agreement provides for revolving borrowings of up to $750 million, expires on April 3, 2025 and ranks pari passu with the existing $750 million revolving credit facility provided by the Borrowers for KKR’s
capital markets business (which was concurrently amended and restated, as described below). The prior 364-day revolving credit agreement, dated as of April 7, 2023, between the Borrowers and Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as administrative agent, and the
lenders party thereto, was terminated according to its terms on April 4, 2024.
If a borrowing is made under the 364-Day Agreement, the interest rate will vary depending on the type of drawdown requested. If the borrowing is (i)
denominated in U.S. dollars and a term rate, it will be based on term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), (ii) denominated in euros, it will be based on EURIBOR and (iii) denominated in pounds sterling, it will be based on the Sterling
Overnight Interbank Average Rate (SONIA), in each case, plus the applicable margin which ranges initially between 1.50% and 2.75%, depending on the duration of the loan. If the loan is an ABR Loan, it will be based on the greater of (i) the
federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (ii) term SOFR for one-month tenor plus 1.00%, in each case, plus the applicable margin which ranges initially between 0.50% and 1.75% depending on the amount and nature of the loan. Borrowings under the 364-Day
Agreement may only be used to facilitate the settlement of debt transactions syndicated by KKR’s capital markets business. Obligations under the 364-Day Agreement are limited to the Borrowers, which are solely entities involved in KKR’s capital
markets business, and liabilities under the 364-Day Agreement are non-recourse to other parts of KKR.
The 364-Day Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, and affirmative and negative covenants, including a
financial covenant providing for a maximum debt to equity ratio for the Borrowers. The Borrowers’ obligations under the 364-Day Agreement are secured by certain assets of the Borrowers, including a pledge of equity interests of certain
subsidiaries of the Borrowers.
5-year revolving credit agreement
On April 4, 2024, the Borrowers also entered into a fourth amended and restated 5-year revolving credit agreement (the “5-Year Agreement”) with Mizuho
Bank, Ltd., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The 5-Year Agreement provides for revolving borrowings of up to $750 million with a $750 million sublimit for letters of credit, expires on April 4, 2029 and ranks pari passu
with the $750 million 364-Day revolving credit facility (described above). The prior third amended and restated 5-year revolving credit agreement, dated as of March 20, 2020 (as amended), between the Borrowers, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as
administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, was terminated according to its terms on April 4, 2024 and replaced by the 5-Year Agreement.
If a borrowing is made on the 5-Year Agreement, the interest rate will vary depending on the type of drawdown requested. If the borrowing is (i)
denominated in U.S. dollars and a term rate, it will be based on term SOFR, (ii) denominated in euros, it will be based on EURIBOR and (iii) denominated in pounds sterling, it will be based on SONIA, in each case, plus the applicable margin which
ranges initially between 1.75% and 3.00%, depending on the amount and nature of the loan. If the loan is an ABR Loan, it will be based on the greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (ii) term SOFR for one-month tenor plus 1.00%, in
each case, plus the applicable margin which ranges initially between 0.75% and 2.00% depending on the amount and nature of the loan. Obligations under the 5-Year Agreement may only be used for KKR’s capital markets business, and its only obligors
are entities involved in KKR’s capital markets business, and its liabilities are non-recourse to other parts of KKR’s business.
The 5-Year Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, and affirmative and negative covenants, including a financial
covenant providing for a maximum debt to equity ratio for the Borrowers. The Borrowers’ obligations under the 5-Year Agreement are secured by certain assets of the Borrowers, including a pledge of equity interests of certain subsidiaries of the
Borrowers.
