Item 1.01               Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On February 22, 2011, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., KKR Fund Holdings L.P. and KKR Management Holdings L.P. (collectively, the “Borrowers”) entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Restated Credit Agreement”) by and among the Borrowers and HSBC Bank plc, as Administrative Agent and Lender.  Upon the satisfaction of the conditions to effectiveness of the Restated Credit Agreement, it will supersede Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P.’s existing credit agreement, dated February 28, 2008.  The effectiveness of the Restated Credit Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions on or before March 9, 2011 (such date of closing, the “Effective Date”).

The Restated Credit Agreement provides the Borrowers with a five-year senior unsecured multicurrency revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $700 million.  The Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, and the Borrowers may prepay, terminate or reduce the commitments under the Credit Facility at any time without penalty.  Borrowings under the Credit Facility are available for general corporate purposes, subject to certain limitations.  Interest on borrowings under the Credit Facility will be charged at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus applicable margin of 50 basis points per annum, or at an alternative base rate.  The Borrowers have agreed to pay a facility fee of 5 basis points per annum on the total commitment.  Borrowings under the Credit Facility will be guaranteed by KKR & Co. L.P., KKR Group Finance Co. LLC and the general partners of present and future material private equity funds managed by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. and/or its affiliates.

Certain other material terms of the Restated Credit Agreement include:

·                  financial covenants which require Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. and its subsidiaries to maintain a maximum consolidated leverage ratio (the ratio of total indebtedness to Fee Related EBITDA) of no greater than 4.0x and to maintain at least $25 billion in Fee Paying Assets Under Management;

·                  customary affirmative and negative covenants (subject to certain customary exceptions and baskets) which limit the ability of Kohlberg Kravis Robert & Co. L.P., its subsidiaries and certain other affiliates of KKR & Co. L.P. to, among other things, incur indebtedness and create liens; and

·                  customary events of default, upon the occurrence of which, after any applicable grace period, the lenders will have the ability to accelerate all outstanding loans thereunder and terminate the commitments.

HSBC Bank plc or its affiliates have provided, and may in the future from time to time provide, certain commercial and investment banking, financial advisory and other services in the ordinary course of business for KKR & Co. L.P. and its subsidiaries, for which they have in the past and may in the future receive customary fees and commissions.
