Item 7.01
Regulation FD Disclosure.

On August 18, 2020, KKR Group Finance Co. VIII LLC, an indirect subsidiary of KKR & Co. Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “KKR”), priced an offering of $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.500% Senior Notes due 2050 (the “notes”). The notes are to be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by KKR & Co. Inc. and KKR Group Partnership L.P. KKR intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the notes, together with  a combination of cash on hand, proceeds from potential minority co-investors and the net proceeds from other additional financing transactions, if any, to fund KKR’s previously announced acquisition of Global Atlantic Financial Group Limited and pay related costs and expenses, and the remainder, if any, for general corporate purposes. Pending application of the net proceeds, they may be invested temporarily in investment-grade securities or similar instruments.

The notes were offered pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

A copy of the press release announcing the pricing of the notes is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

As provided in General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 7.01 and the exhibit furnished hereunder shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall they be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
