Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On November 2, 2010, KKR & Co. L.P. (the “Partnership”), KKR Management Holdings L.P. (“Management Holdings”), KKR Fund Holdings L.P. (“Fund Holdings” and together with Management Holdings, the “KKR Group Partnerships”), KKR Holdings L.P. (“Holdings”), KKR Group Holdings L.P. and KKR Group Limited entered into an Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement”) to amend and restate the Exchange Agreement, dated July 14, 2010 (the “Original Exchange Agreement”), by and among the Partnership, the KKR Group Partnerships and Holdings. A description of the material provisions of the Original Exchange Agreement has previously been reported by the Partnership in its prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 on October 1, 2010.

 

The amendments to the Original Exchange Agreement include:

 

·      Permitting Holdings to limit the number of KKR Group Partnerships Units (each KKR Group Partnership Unit consists of one Class A partner interest in each of the KKR Group Partnerships held together) that may be exchanged in any quarter.

 

·      Providing the right to cancel all or a portion of any exchange under certain conditions.

 

·      Providing that certain exchanges of units of Fund Holdings will be with a new subsidiary of the Partnership.  As a result, 1% of the income of the new subsidiary in respect of such exchanged Fund Holdings units will be included as taxable income of KKR Management Holdings Corp., and the income tax character of that portion of income if distributed to unitholders may differ from what it would have been absent the amendment.  If additional taxes result from the inclusion of this new subsidiary, Holdings will make payments to KKR Management Holdings Corp. in respect of those taxes.  The Partnership expects that the effect of these changes with respect to any particular unitholder, which may be positive, negative or neutral depending on the unitholder and character of income, will be immaterial.

 

The description of the Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement that is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
