KKR Real Estate Today


In 2011, KKR established a real estate platform with the mandate of
leveraging KKRs relationships, sourcing channels and proprietary
access to information to create compelling opportunities to provide
flexible capital to solve real estate problems

KKR has built a team of 9 dedicated real estate professionals supported by a deep
bench of investment professionals in private equity (e.g. retail and healthcare) and
special situations

The team has successfully integrated within KKR and is viewed as a complementary
business to existing KKR industry verticals and strategies

Since launching the effort in the spring and summer of 2011, KKR has committed in
excess of $200 million of equity to four transactions with an active pipeline of new
opportunities

We are beginning to evaluate options for third party capital and have completed
listening tours in Asia and the Middle East to help us refine our strategy

KKR Real Estate 3-Year Vision

Market Opportunity
We believe interesting opportunities exist in the Real Estate space due to:

Need to recapitalize complex capital structures


created during the 2005-2008 timeframe
Lack of capital from balance sheet lenders and
shadow banking industry
Fewer private dedicated providers of
equity and mezzanine capital
Desire for owners to access
stable, strategic capital
partners with no legacy
portfolios
Favorable supply /
demand dynamics
in private real
estate markets

indicators of actual future market behavior or future0 performance of any particular investment or any KKR fund, vehicle or account which, may differ materially, and are not
to be relied upon as such. There can be no assurance that investors in any KKR fund, vehicle or account will receive a return of capital.

KKR Investment Strategy - Approach

We believe improving operating fundamentals, a current lack of new supply, and an


improving real estate capital markets landscape should lead to future improvement in real
estate values

The combination of i) overleveraged capital structures and ii) a scarcity of equity capital
necessary to recapitalize these capital structures should create compelling value-driven
investment opportunities where KKR seeks to trade situational complexity for a more
attractive basis and excess risk-adjusted returns

Opportunities to buy into complicated


legacy capital structures providing KKR
with an attractive entry point into the
capital structure. We seek positions
with substantial control rights through
the debt security where we can
influence the outcome or ultimately
convert to a control equity position and
own the asset outright (e.g. European
Corporate: Confidential)

In certain recapitalizations/repositionings,
we believe the best risk-adjusted returns
are in the form of a preferred
equity/mezzanine security where we can
earn an attractive current yield and an
equity-like all-in return

Many overleveraged assets and


portfolios have suffered operationally
from a lack of capital investment or
active management. We believe
there will be attractive opportunities
to invest in assets that require capital
to re-institutionalize them (e.g.
Yorktown)

Corporate
We will seek to leverage KKRs corporate
PE experience to i) execute take private,
corporate carve-out, and PIPE
transactions and ii) execute platform /
build-up opportunities within targeted
sectors
