Messaging FAQ

KKR Asset-Based Finance Fund (“K-ABF”)

++++++++++

What’s the latest on KCOP Proxy?

•

On November 12, 2025, the KKR Credit Opportunities Portfolio (“KCOP” or the “Fund”) adjourned its previously scheduled special shareholder meeting. This was a procedural step to allow KKR and our proxy facilitator, Broadridge, additional time to solicit votes needed for certain proposals connected to the Fund’s conversion to KKR Asset-Based Finance Fund (“K-ABF”).

When will the shareholder meeting be reconvened?

•

The meeting is set to reconvene on December 16, 2025.

Why was the meeting adjourned — does this impact the conversion?

•

No — the adjournment was purely procedural. KKR remains fully committed to the Conversion, and all necessary steps are being taken to deliver on this strategic outcome for shareholders.

How is the vote going so far?

•

Of the votes submitted to date, we continue to see overwhelming support for the strategy change. We anticipate implementing a solution to expedite approval of the remaining proposals related to the Fund’s transition ahead of the December 16 shareholder meeting.

•

The November 12 meeting was adjourned to allow continued vote solicitation, and shortly after the December 16meeting, we anticipate holding a procedural vote to finalize.

Are any additional filings or mailings required as a result of the adjournment?

•

No further filings or mailings are required as a result of the shareholder meeting adjournment. Updated filings and mailings are only required when a new record date is set — which, in this case, occurred on September 17, 2025.

•

That said, Broadridge will continue to share its customary communications with shareholders as part of its ongoing solicitation efforts.

Where can shareholders find more information or vote?

•

Further information regarding the proxy and how to vote can be found in our filings at https://www.sec.gov, or online at https://kseries.kkr.com/kcop and https://www.proxyvote.com.
