Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity Cybersecurity Governance The Company is managed by the Adviser. As an indirect subsidiary of KKR, the Adviser is subject to and participates in KKR’s processes for assessing, identifying, and managing risks from cybersecurity threats, as detailed below. KKR’s Chief Information Security Officer (the “KKR CISO”) leads an information security team (the “KKR information security team”) whose responsibilities include securing data from unauthorized use or access. The cybersecurity strategy and program at KKR’s asset management business includes, among other things, annual employee training about cybersecurity risks and new employee onboarding about KKR’s security policies. Prior to joining KKR, KKR’s CISO was the CISO at another large financial institution where he was responsible for their global information security program. KKR’s CISO also has prior experience in various information security roles, including security architecture, application security, engineering and operations. He holds a Bachelor of Science in computer science from the New York University Polytechnic School of Engineering, is a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and holds a Series 99 - Operations Professional Exam certification. The KKR CISO is a member of KKR’s Operational Risk Committee. The Operational Risk Committee is comprised of senior employees from across KKR’s asset management business and operating functions. The committee focuses on significant operating and business risks, which includes among others, regulatory, cybersecurity, operational, geopolitical, and reputational risks, and is responsible for ensuring risks are identified, assessed, managed and mitigated effectively. The cybersecurity risk environment for KKR’s asset management business, which includes identifying and monitoring KKR’s technology risks, including those related to information security, business disruption, fraud and privacy related risks, and also promoting cybersecurity awareness at KKR. The Operational Risk Committee reports to KKR’s Risk and Operations Committee, which is comprised of senior employees from across KKR’s asset management and insurance businesses and operating functions. KKR’s Risk and Operations Committee includes KKR’s Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Legal Officer, General Counsel, and Chief Compliance Officer. At least annually, management will present to the Audit Committee and the Risk Committee of KKR’s Board of Directors on various topics relating to KKR’s technology risks, including KKR’s cybersecurity program, the current cybersecurity threat landscape, and risk management. Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy KKR’s asset management business has a cybersecurity incident response plan, which was developed taking into account industry standard guidance provided by institutes such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology. This plan is a key component of the cybersecurity program, which is generally incorporated within our enterprise risk management framework. The KKR CISO and KKR’s Chief Compliance Officer co-chair a cybersecurity incident response team (“KKR CIRT”), which aims to manage and mitigate the risk and impact of cybersecurity breach events at KKR’s asset management business, including those arising from third-party service providers, including those providers that have access to KKR’s customer and employee data. Cybersecurity considerations affect the selection and oversight of our third-party service providers. We perform cybersecurity-related diligence on third parties that have access to our systems, data or facilities. In addition to the KKR CISO and KKR’s Chief Compliance Officer, the KKR CIRT includes members of KKR’s legal, technology, compliance, risk, public affairs, human capital and finance groups. KKR has established a notification decision framework to determine when the KKR CIRT will provide notifications regarding certain cybersecurity incidents, with different severity thresholds triggering notifications to different recipient groups, including the Risk and Operations Committee, senior members of management, and KKR’s Board of Directors and its committees. The KKR information security team undertakes a variety of measures to monitor and manage the cybersecurity risks of KKR’s asset management business. Our technology platforms and applications are designed to enable us to monitor user and network behavior at KKR’s asset management business, identify threats using certain analytics, and mitigate attacks across various layers of the enterprise. The KKR information security team conducts regular internal and external audits with third-party cybersecurity experts to identify and evaluate potential weaknesses in our cybersecurity systems. In addition, the KKR information security team conducts periodic phishing simulations, as well as periodic employee training on KKR’s security policies and controls and provides other security trainings as part of new employee onboarding. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we do not believe that our business strategy, results of operations or financial conditions have been materially affected by any cybersecurity incidents for the period covered by this report. However, institutions like KKR, as well as KKR’s employees, service providers and other third parties, have experienced information security and cybersecurity attacks in the past and will likely continue to be the target of increasingly sophisticated cyber actors.
