Talking Points
| • |
On August 25, 2025, KKR Credit Opportunities Portfolio ("KCOP" or the "Fund") adjourned its previously scheduled special shareholder meeting in order to solicit additional votes to approve certain proposals in connection with the conversion of KCOP to KKR Asset-Based Finance Fund ("K-ABF") (the "Conversion"). |
| • |
The decision to adjourn was merely a procedural step that would allow KKR and its third-party proxy facilitator (Broadridge) additional time to solicit the required votes with respect to certain proposals related to the Conversion. |
| • |
The special shareholder meeting will reconvene on September 12, 2025, at 10 a.m. EST. |
| • |
Staying the course: KKR fully intends to pursue the Conversion and will take the necessary actions to ensure we deliver on this strategic outcome for shareholders. |
| • |
That said, we remain confident in our ability to secure the additional "for" votes over the coming weeks to reach approval of all proposals included in the definitive proxy statement mailed to shareholders on or about June 27, 2025. |
| • |
As a reminder, further information regarding the proxy and how to vote can be located in our filings, which can be obtained by visiting www.sec.gov, and online at https://kseries.kkr.com/kcop or www.proxyvote.com. |
| • |
Your vote is very important to us. Whether or not you plan to attend the special shareholder meeting, we ask that your shares be represented and voted. |
FAQ
General
| 1. |
What happens if we don't have sufficient votes to pass the Conversion-related proposals as of September 12, 2025? |
| • |
If the necessary votes to pass are not achieved by September 12th , appropriate steps will be taken to set a new record date, which would include updating the existing definitive proxy statement to reflect the new record date. Broadridge (on behalf of the Fund) will continue its solicitation efforts until the necessary approvals are obtained. |

If the meeting is adjourned on September 12th, are any filings or mailings required? |

KKR would cause the Fund to file an updated definitive proxy statement to reflect the new record date, but other substantive changes to the existing definitive proxy statement are not currently expected. |
