Item 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS, AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

Shares of our common stock are listed on the NYSE under the symbol "KKR."

The number of holders of record of our common stock as of February 26, 2025 was 43. This does not include the number of stockholders that hold shares in "street-name" through banks or broker-dealers.

Dividend Policy

Under our current dividend policy for common stock that we announced on February 4, 2025, we expect to pay our common stockholders an annualized dividend of $0.74 per share of common stock, equal to a quarterly dividend of $0.185 per share of common stock, beginning with the dividend to be declared with respect to the first quarter of 2025. On February 4, 2025, we declared a regular dividend of $0.175 per share of common stock under our prior dividend policy for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, payable on February 28, 2025 to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 14, 2025.

Because we make our investment in our business through a holding company structure and the applicable holding companies do not own any material cash-generating assets other than their direct and indirect holdings in KKR Group Partnership Units, dividends are expected to be funded in the following manner:

• KKR Group Partnership will make distributions to holders of KKR Group Partnership Units, which consists of our wholly-owned corporate subsidiaries (one of which acts as the general partner of KKR Group Partnership), KKR Holdings II and KKR Holdings III, in proportion to their percentage interests in KKR Group Partnership;

• Second, our wholly-owned corporate subsidiaries will distribute to us the amount of any distributions that they receive from KKR Group Partnership, after deducting any applicable taxes; and

• Third, we will distribute to holders of our common stock the amount of dividends declared by our Board of Directors from the distributions that we receive from our wholly-owned corporate subsidiaries.

The limited partnership agreement of KKR Group Partnership provides for cash distributions, which are referred to as "tax distributions," to the partners of the partnership if we determine that the taxable income of the partnership will give rise to taxable income for its partners, including holders of restricted holdings units who are limited partners of KKR Holdings II and KKR Holdings III. KKR Group Partnership may make tax distributions in the future, from time to time, to provide distributions to pay for any U.S. or non-U.S. tax liabilities of the partners of KKR Holdings II and KKR Holdings III.

The declaration and payment of any dividends to holders of our common stock or holders of any preferred stock which may be issued in the future are subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors, which may change our dividend policy at any time or from time to time, and the terms of our certificate of incorporation. There can be no assurance that dividends will be made as intended or at all or that any particular dividend policy will be maintained. Furthermore, the declaration and payment of distributions and dividends is subject to legal, contractual and regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends and distributions by us or our subsidiaries, including restrictions contained in our debt agreements, the terms of our preferred stock and such other factors as the Board of Directors considers relevant including, among others: our available cash and current and anticipated cash needs, including funding of investment commitments and debt service and future debt repayment obligations; general economic and business conditions; our strategic plans and prospects; our results of operations and financial condition; and our capital requirements. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity—Sources of Liquidity." In addition, under Section 170 of the DGCL, our Board of Directors may only declare and pay dividends either out of our surplus (as defined in DGCL) or in case there is no such surplus, out of our net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.

Share Repurchases in the Fourth Quarter of 2024

Under our current share repurchase program, KKR is authorized to repurchase its common stock from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing, manner, price, and amount of any common stock repurchases will be determined by KKR in its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price, and economic and market conditions. KKR expects that the program, which has no expiration date, will continue to be in effect until the maximum approved dollar amount has been used. The program does not require KKR to repurchase any specific number of shares of common stock, and the program may be suspended, extended, modified, or discontinued at any time. In addition to the repurchases of common stock described above, the repurchase program is used for the retirement (by cash settlement or the payment of tax withholding amounts upon net settlement) of equity awards issued pursuant to our Equity Incentive Plan representing the right to receive shares of common stock.

As of January 31, 2025, there is approximately $69 million remaining under KKR's share repurchase program.

The table below sets forth the information with respect to repurchases made by or on behalf of KKR & Co. Inc. or any "affiliated purchaser" (as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Exchange Act) of our common stock for the periods presented. During the fourth quarter of 2024, no shares of common stock were repurchased, and 246,298 equity awards were retired.

(1)In April 2024, the share repurchase program was amended such that when the remaining available amount under the share repurchase program becomes $50 million or less, the total available amount under the share repurchase program will automatically add an additional $500 million to the then remaining available amount of $50 million or less.
