Item 2.03
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On April 9, 2021, 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 “Agreement”) with Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto.  The Agreement provides for revolving borrowings of up to $750 million, expires on April 8, 2022 and ranks pari passu with the existing $750 million revolving credit facility provided by them for KKR’s capital markets business.  The prior 364-day revolving credit agreement, dated as of April 10, 2020, between the Borrowers and Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, was terminated according to its terms on April 9, 2021.

If a borrowing is made on the Agreement, the interest rate will vary depending on the type of drawdown requested. If the loan is a Eurocurrency loan, it will be based on LIBOR 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 prime rate 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 Agreement may only be used to facilitate the settlement of debt transactions syndicated by KKR’s capital markets business. Obligations under the Agreement are limited to the Borrowers, which are solely entities involved in KKR’s capital markets business, and liabilities under the Agreement are non-recourse to other parts of KKR.

The 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 Agreement are secured by certain assets of the Borrowers, including a pledge of equity interests of certain subsidiaries of the Borrowers.
