Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
On April 21, 2026, KKR & Co. Inc. (the “Company”) held a special meeting of
stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders considered four proposals relating to amendments to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation (the “Existing Charter”) and one proposal relating to adjournment, each of which is described in more detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2026 (the “Proxy Statement”).
Each of Proposals 2, 3, 4, and 5, relating to amendments to the Existing Charter and adjournment, were approved by the stockholders.
Pursuant to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws and in accordance with stockholder approval of Proposal 5, the Special Meeting was
adjourned with respect to Proposal 1. Proposal 1 requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 90% of the Company’s outstanding common stock to be approved and is a proposal to eliminate the supermajority voting requirement to amend
certain provisions of the Existing Charter.
The Special Meeting will be adjourned until May 21, 2026 at 2:00 P.M., Eastern

Holders of record of the Company’s common stock and the non-economic Series I preferred stock as of the close of business on February 24, 2026 will be entitled to attend and vote on Proposal 1 at the Reconvened
Meeting using the procedures set forth in the Proxy Statement.

common stockholders for each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders at the Special Meeting are set forth below:
