KKR Income Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) (NYSE:KIO) today
announced its monthly distributions of $0.125 per common share,
payable on the dates below. Based on the Fund’s initial public
offering price of $20.00 per share and current share price of
$16.06 (as of its close on October 12, 2016), the distributions
represent an annualized distribution rate of 7.5% and 9.3%
respectively (calculated by annualizing the distribution amount and
dividing it by the IPO share price or current price, as the case
may be).
The monthly distribution schedule is as follows for the months
of November, December, and January:
Ex-Date: November 10, 2016 Record Date: November 14,
2016 Payable Date: November 30, 2016 Amount: $0.125 per share

Ex-Date: January 12, 2017 Record Date: January 17, 2017 Payable
Date: January 31, 2017 Amount: $0.125 per share
The payment of a special dividend will be evaluated closer to
fiscal and calendar year end. The following is the proposed special
distribution schedule in the event that KIO has a special
dividend:
Ex-Date: December 28, 2016 Record Date: December 30,
2016 Payable Date: January 31, 2017
Information regarding the distribution rate is included for
informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of
future results, the achievement of which cannot be assured. The
distribution rate should not be considered the yield or total
return on an investment in the Fund.
In compliance with Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of
1940, a notice will be provided to shareholders for any
distribution that does not consist solely of net investment income.
A portion of each distribution may be treated as paid from sources
other than net investment income, including but not limited to
short-term capital gain, long-term capital gain or return of
capital.
The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this notice
are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting
purposes. The final determination of the source of all
distributions in 2016 will be made after year-end. The Fund will
send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you
how to report these distributions for federal income tax
purposes.
The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end fund. Investors should
consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and
expenses carefully before investing.
The investment return, price, yields, market value and net asset
value (NAV) of a fund's shares will fluctuate with market
conditions. Closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to
their NAV, which may increase an investor’s risk of loss. There is
no assurance that the Fund will meet its investment objective. The
Fund’s distribution rate may be affected by numerous factors,
including changes in realized and projected market returns, Fund
performance, and other factors. There can be no assurance that a
change in market conditions or other factors will not result in a
change in a Fund distribution rate at a future time.
An investment in the Fund is not appropriate for all investors
and is not intended to be a complete investment program. The Fund
is designed as a long-term investment and not as a trading vehicle.
Investors should carefully review and consider the Fund’s
investment objective, risk, charges and expenses before
investing.
Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and it is
possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. Past performance
is not a guarantee of future results. Please see the Fund’s
prospectus for more risk information.

The Fund will invest in loans and other types of fixed‐income
instruments and securities. Such investments may be secured,
partially secured or unsecured and may be unrated, and whether or
not rated, may have speculative characteristics. The market price
of the Fund’s investments will change in response to changes in
interest rates and other factors. Generally, when interest rates
rise, the values of fixed‐income instruments fall, and vice
versa.
Use of leverage creates an opportunity for increased income
and return for Common Shareholders but, at the same time, creates
risks, including the likelihood of greater volatility in the NAV
and market price of, and distributions on, the Common Shares. In
particular, leverage may magnify interest rate risk, which is the
risk that the prices of portfolio securities will fall (or rise) if
market interest rates for those types of securities rise (or fall).
As a result, leverage may cause greater changes in the Fund’s NAV,
which will be borne entirely by the Fund’s Common
Shareholders.
Derivative investments have risks, including the imperfect
correlation between the value of such instruments and the
underlying assets of the Fund. The risk of loss from a short sale
is unlimited because the Fund must purchase the shorted security at
a higher price to complete the transaction and there is no upper
limit for the security price. The use of options, swaps, and
derivatives by the Fund has the potential to significantly increase
the Fund’s volatility. In addition to the normal risks associated
with investing, international investments may involve risk of
capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from
differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from
social, economic or political instability in other nations. The
Fund’s investments in securities or other instruments of non‐U.S.
issuers or borrowers may be traded in undeveloped, inefficient and
less liquid markets and may experience greater price volatility and
changes in value.
