Regulation FD Disclosure.

KKR & Co. Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, "KKR") has posted a presentation on its website, which will be used during the Investor Day event for KKR common stockholders and analysts scheduled on July 9, 2018 (the "Investor Day").  The presentation is accessible at the Investor Center for KKR & Co. Inc. at http://ir.kkr.com/kkr_ir/kkr_events.cfm.  From time to time, KKR uses its website as a channel of distribution of financial and other important information about the company.

The presentation includes certain updated information about KKR, including: (a) estimated gross realized carried interest of approximately $350 million and estimated realized investment income (excluding interest expense) of approximately $150 million in the second quarter of 2018 and (b) an increase in KKR’s previous estimate of realization of losses that will be excluded from after-tax distributable earnings in the second quarter of 2018 to approximately $725 million, which is largely related to energy and credit investments. KKR also expects to announce during the Investor Day that it expects the second quarter 2018 transaction fees from its capital markets business to be slightly above $100 million.
