Footnotes

All data as of March 31, 2024 unless otherwise noted. Financial data is estimated and unaudited. Past performance is historical and not a guarantee of future results.

  1. The Fund has issued 2,000,000 shares of a new series of preferred shares, $.001 par value per share with a liquidation preference of $25 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000,000 designated as "Series A Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Shares" (the MRP Shares).
  2. The Fund has entered into a financing facility with a major financial institution. Under the terms of the financing facility, the Fund has access to committed financing of up to $160,000,000. While the use of leverage can result in greater returns in a rising market as well as increased income generation, its use can also generate greater losses in a declining market as well as pressure income levels in an environment of higher borrowing costs. The Fund is required to maintain prescribed asset coverage for its borrowings, and may be required to reduce its leverage at an inopportune time if the Fund's asset values decline.
  3. Excludes cash, cash-equivalents and equities as applicable. Holdings are subject to change and are provided for informational purposes only. This list does not constitute a recommendation to buy, sell or hold a security.
  4. Refers to the annual interest rate paid on a debt instrument. Expressed as a weighted average of debt instruments in the portfolio, based on market value in reporting currency.
  5. Measures the annual return received if a debt instrument is held until maturity. Expressed as a weighted average of debt instruments in the portfolio, based on market value in reporting currency.
  6. Based on Standard and Poor's (S&P) ratings as applicable. Ratings, which are subject to change, apply to the creditworthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities and not to the Fund or its shares. Credit ratings measure the quality of a bond based on the issuer's creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA, being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&P's measures. Ratings of BBB or higher by S&P are considered to be investment grade quality. Credit ratings BB and below are lower-rated securities (junk bonds). High-yielding,non-investment-grade bonds (junk bonds) involve higher risks than investment-grade bonds. Adverse conditions may affect the issuer's ability to pay interest and principal on these securities. A portion of the portfolio's securities may not be rated. Breakdown is not an S&P credit rating or an opinion of S&P as to the creditworthiness of such portfolio. Ratings apply to the creditworthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities and not the fund or its shares. Ratings may be subject to change.
  7. Returns calculations with assumption of dividends being reinvested into KKR Income Opportunities Fund.

INVESTMENT PRODUCTS: NOT FDIC OR SIPC INSURED • NO BANK GUARANTEE • MAY LOSE VALUE

Past performance is not indicative of future results. There is no guarantee that the investment objectives will be achieved. There can be no assurance that any of these professionals will remain with the Fund or that past performance or such professionals serve as an indicator of his or her performance or success. The NAV for Fund shares will fluctuate with market conditions. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.

About Risk: An imbalance in supply and demand in the income market may result in valuation uncertainties and greater volatility, less liquidity, widening credit spreads and a lack of price transparency in the market. Investments in income securities may be affected by changes in the creditworthiness of the issuer and are subject to the risk of non-payment of principal and interest. The value of income securities also may decline because of real or perceived concerns about the issuer's ability to make principal and interest payments. Borrowing to increase investments (leverage) will exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of Fund investments. Investments rated below investment grade (typically referred to as "junk") are generally subject to greater price volatility and illiquidity than higher rated investments. As interest rates rise, the value of certain income investments is likely to decline. Senior loans are subject to prepayment risk. Investments in foreign instruments or currencies can involve greater risk and volatility than U.S. investments because of adverse market, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical or other conditions. Changes in the value of investments entered for hedging purposes may not match those of the position being hedged. The Fund may engage in other investment practices that may involve additional risks.

Common shares of the Fund are only available for purchase and sale at current market price on a stock exchange.

An investment in the Fund is not appropriate for all investors and is not intended to be a complete investment program. An investment in the Fund involves risks, including the risk that you may receive little or no return on your investment or that you may lose part or even all of your investment. Therefore, prospective investors should consider carefully the Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses and should consult with a tax, legal or financial advisor before making any investment decision. Shares of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount from their net asset value.

The information on this sheet is for U.S. residents only and does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to purchase, securities in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is not lawful to make such an offer.
