Each loan under the Line of Credit will (i) be subject to an interest rate per annum as set forth in the applicable loan request up to the then-current rate offered by a third party lender or, if no such rate is available, up to Secured Overnight Financing Rate applicable to such loan plus 3.50% and (ii) in the event that the interest rate is zero percent such loan will have a maximum maturity of 364 days following the borrowing of such loan (unless otherwise consented to by the Lender in its sole discretion). The Line of Credit expires on December 20, 2024, subject to six-month extension options requiring the Lender’s approval. Each advance under the Line of Credit is repayable on the earlier of the (i) 180th day following the earlier of (x) the Lender’s demand and (y) the expiration of the line of credit and (ii) if specified, the scheduled date of repayment for each such loan as set forth in the relevant loan request (the “Scheduled Repayment Date”), which date shall in no case be later than 364 days following the borrowing of such loan (unless the Lender, in its sole discretion, consents to a Scheduled Repayment Date that is later than 364 days following the borrowing of such loan). To the extent the Company has not repaid all loans and other obligations under the Line of Credit after a repayment event has occurred, the Company is obligated to apply excess available cash proceeds to the repayment of such loans and other obligations; provided that the Borrowers will be permitted to (w) make payments to fulfill any repurchase requests pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase plan or any excess tender offer on the terms described in the Company’s private placement memorandum, (x) use funds to close any acquisition of a portfolio company which the Company committed to prior to receiving a demand notice, (y) make elective distributions of an amount not to exceed amounts paid in the immediately preceding fiscal quarter and (z) pay any taxes when due.

Each Borrower may withdraw from the Line of Credit at the time all such obligations held by such Borrower to the Lender under the Line of Credit have been repaid to the Lender in full. The Line of Credit contains customary events of default. As is customary in such financings, if an event of default occurs under the Line of Credit, the Lender may accelerate the repayment of amounts outstanding under the Line of Credit and exercise other remedies subject, in certain instances, to the expiration of an applicable cure period. The Lender and its assignees shall not have any recourse to any entities with interests in the Borrowers such as a general partner or investor, including the Company, or any of their respective assets for any indebtedness or other monetary obligation incurred under the Line of Credit. On December 21, 2023, the Company drew down $19,200 on the Line of Credit, all of which was subsequently repaid on January 4, 2024. For the period from December 21, 2023 to December 31, 2023, the Company incurred interest expense of $52 , which was waived by the Lender. Management Agreement On July 27, 2023, the Company entered into a management agreem ent with the Manager (“Management Agreement”). Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Manager is responsible for sourcing, evaluating and monitoring the Company’s acquisition opportunities and making recommendations to the Company’s executive committee related to the acquisition, management, financing and disposition of the Company’s assets, in accordance with the Company’s objectives, guidelines, policies and limitations, subject to oversight by the Board. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Manager is entitled to receive a management fee (the “Management Fee”) from the Company in an amount equal to (i) 1.25% per annum of the month-end NAV attributable to Class S Shares, Class D Shares, Class U Shares and Class I Shares and (ii) 1.00% per annum of the month-end NAV for a 60-month period following August 1, 2023 (the “Initial Offering”) attributable to Class R-S Shares, Class R-D Shares, Class R-U Shares and Class R-I Shares (provided that such Class R-S Shares, Class R-U Shares and Class R-I Shares are purchased by an investor as part of an intermediary’s aggregate subscription for at least $100,000 in Shares and shares of any class of K-PRIME during the 12-month period following the Initial Offering) and 1.25% per annum of the month-end NAV attributable to Class R-S Shares, Class R-D Shares, Class R-U Shares and Class R-I Shares after the 60-month period following the Initial Offering, each before giving effect to any accruals for certain fees and expenses. Such Management Fee is calculated based on the Company’s transactional net asset value, which is the price at which the Company sells and repurchases its Shares. KKR or its affiliates (and in the case of directors’ fees, KKR executives) are expected to be paid transaction fees and monitoring fees in connection with the acquisition, ownership, control and exit of portfolio companies, and KKR or its affiliates are expected to be entitled to receive “break-up” or similar fees in connection with unconsummated transactions (“Other Fees”). The Management Fee payable in any monthly period is subject to reduction, but not below zero, by an amount equal to any Other Fees allocable to Investor Shares pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Manager earned $1,927 in gross Management Fees, which were offset by $1,468, resulting in $459 of net Management Fees. As of December 31, 2023, there are unapplied credits of $12,403 to be carried forward that relate to Other Fees earned. As of December 31, 2023, the Company did not owe a net Management Fee to the Manager.

Performance Participation Allocation KKR is allocated a “Performance Participation Allocation” equal to 15.0% of the Total Return attributable to Investor Shares subject to a 5.0% annual Hurdle Amount and a High Water Mark, with a 100% Catch-Up (each as defined in the LLC Agreement). Such allocation will be measured and allocated or paid annually and accrued monthly (subject to pro-rating for partial periods). KKR may elect to receive the Performance Participation Allocation in cash and/or Class F Shares. Specifically, promptly following the end of each Reference Period (and at other times as described below), KKR is allocated a Performance Participation Allocation in an amount equal to: • First, if the Total Return for the applicable period exceeds the sum of (i) the Hurdle Amount for that period and (ii) the Loss Carryforward Amount (any such excess, “Excess Profits”), 100% of such Excess Profits until the total amount allocated to KKR equals 15.0% of the sum of (x) the Hurdle Amount for that period and (y) any amount allocated to KKR pursuant to this clause (any such amount, the “Catch-Up”); and • Second, to the extent there are remaining Excess Profits, 15.0% of such remaining Excess Profits. KKR will also be allocated a Performance Participation Allocation with respect to all Investor Shares that are repurchased in connection with repurchases of Shares in an amount calculated as described above with the relevant period being the portion of the Reference Period (which is the applicable year beginning on October 1 and ending on September 30 of the next succeeding year, with the initial Reference Period being the period from August 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024) for which such Shares were outstanding, and proceeds for any such Share repurchases will be reduced by the amount of any such Performance Participation Allocation. Such Performance Participation Allocation is calculated based on the Company’s transactional net asset value, which is the price at which the Company sells and repurchases its Shares. If the Performance Participation Allocation is paid in Class F Shares, such Shares may be repurchased at KKR’s request and are subject to the repurchase limitations of our share repurchase plan. A Performance Participation Allocation accrual of $1,508 was recorded as of December 31, 2023 in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
