### DEAR SHAREHOLDERS,
KKR is pleased to invite you to the Special Meeting to be held on **Tuesday, April 21, 2026, at 11:30 A.M., Eastern Time**.

As we celebrate our 50th anniversary this year, we are excited for our upcoming transition to a new corporate governance structure. By no later than December 31, 2026, which we call the "Sunset Date", shares of our common stock will have the right to elect the Company's directors and exercise all other customary voting rights on a **one vote per share** basis.

In preparing for the one share, one vote structure, we conducted a review of KKR's governing documents and identified certain amendments to KKR's Existing Charter that we believe accomplish the following:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ✔ | **More closely align our governance practices with other S&P 500 companies with a single class of voting stock,**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ✔ | **Modernize and streamline our governing documents, and**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ✔ | **Remove certain legacy partnership provisions that will no longer be appropriate after the Sunset Date.**  |

---

Accordingly, our Board unanimously recommends you vote **<u>FOR</u>** the following Charter amendments:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **VOTING ITEM** | **DESCRIPTION**  | **S&P 500**<br>**PREVALENCE\*** | **BOARD**<br>**RECOMMENDATION**  |
| **PROPOSAL 1 Supermajority** <br>**Voting** <br>**Amendment** | Eliminates legacy partnership 90% supermajority voting requirement to amend certain Existing Charter provisions and moves to majority voting for all Charter provisions. | Over 70% | **FOR** |
| **PROPOSAL 2 Stockholder Action Amendment** | Provides that all actions on which holders of common stock are required or permitted to vote must be taken at an annual or special meeting, which should promote transparency and fair deliberation as opposed to stockholder action that can be taken by written consent. | ~70% | **FOR** |
| **PROPOSAL 3 Vacancy Amendment** | Grants the Board the sole authority to fill director vacancies until all stockholders have the opportunity to vote on the election of all directors at an annual meeting. | Over 70% | **FOR** |
| **PROPOSAL 4 Technical and Clarifying Amendments** | Permits the Board to fix the size of the Board and to streamline the Existing Charter by removing certain legacy provisions that are redundant under current Delaware law and New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") rules. | ~85% <br>(Board fixes its size) | **FOR** |
| **PROPOSAL 5 Adjournment of Special Meeting** | Authorizes adjournment for up to 30 days, from time to time, if votes are insufficient to adopt all these proposals, allowing time to solicit additional proxies, if necessary, and to avoid the cost of calling another meeting to consider and adopt these Charter Amendments. |  | **FOR** |

These proposals reflect our commitment to strong corporate governance that promotes managing KKR's global investment business in a transparent, accountable, and responsible manner. As part of this transition to a one share, one vote structure, the Board carefully evaluated these amendments.

More broadly, our Board oversees the development and execution of our strategy, with a focus on long-term stockholder value creation.

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ✔ | **Strategy and Culture:** Our Board oversees the firm's strategy, providing leadership as we expanded to the diversified, global investment firm we are today, with business segments in Asset Management, Insurance and Strategic Holdings. We have a deep commitment to those counting on us and believe in shared success.  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ✔ | **Majority Independent Board:** Since 2010, our Board has had a majority of independent directors. Under the listing standards of the NYSE, we were not required to have a majority independent Board until the Sunset Date. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ✔ | **Stockholder Value Creation:** We are focused on delivering long-term value for our stockholders, as evidenced by the performance of our stock price over the past three and five years and since our NYSE Listing in 2010.  |
