Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
|
On July 30, 2026, KKR Group Partnership L.P. and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., indirect subsidiaries of KKR & Co. Inc. (collectively,
the “Borrowers”), entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Corporate Credit Agreement”) by and among the Borrowers, the guarantors from time to time party thereto (together with the Borrowers, the “Loan Parties”), the
lending institutions from time to time party thereto, and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), which amends and restates in its entirety the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated
as of July 3, 2024, by and among the Loan Parties, the lending institutions from time to time party thereto and the Administrative Agent.
The Corporate Credit Agreement provides the Borrowers with a senior unsecured multicurrency revolving credit facility (the “Corporate Credit
Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $3.0 billion with the option to request an increase in the facility amount of up to an additional $750 million, subject to certain conditions, including the consent of the lenders. The Corporate
Credit Facility is a five-year facility, scheduled to mature on July 30, 2031, with the Borrowers’ option to extend the maturity date, subject to the consent of the lenders, and the Borrowers may prepay, terminate or reduce the commitments under
the Corporate Credit Facility at any time without penalty. Borrowings under the Corporate Credit Facility are available for general corporate purposes and available in U.S. dollars and other currencies. Interest on borrowings in U.S. dollars
under the Corporate Credit Facility will be based on either term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or alternate base rate, with the applicable margin per annum based on a corporate ratings-based grid ranging from 57.5 basis points to 112.5
basis points for term SOFR borrowings. The Borrowers have agreed to pay a facility fee on the total commitments at a rate per annum also based on a corporate ratings-based grid ranging from 5 basis points to 12.25 basis points. Borrowings under
the Corporate Credit Facility are guaranteed by KKR & Co. Inc.
Certain other terms of the Corporate Credit Agreement include:
|
● |
financial covenants that require KKR & Co. Inc. and its subsidiaries to maintain a maximum leverage ratio (excluding the indebtedness of The Global Atlantic Financial
Group LLC and its subsidiaries) of not greater than 4.0x covenant EBITDA and to maintain at least $195 billion in fee paying assets under management;
|
|
● |
customary affirmative covenants and certain negative covenants, including a limitation on the ability of the Loan Parties to, among other things, pledge the stock of their
subsidiaries; and
|
|
● |
customary events of default, upon the occurrence of which the lenders will have the ability to accelerate all outstanding loans thereunder and terminate the commitments.
