Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of KKR Financial Holdings, LLC ("KKR" or the "Company") (NYSE: KFN) pursuant or traceable to the Company's Registration Statement and Prospectus issued in connection with its May 4, 2007 merger and share issuance.

The complaint charges KKR and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Act of 1933. No class has yet been certified in the above action. Members of the Class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff. If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff no later than October 6, 2008 and be selected by the Court. The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement and how much of a settlement to accept for the Class in the action.

KKR is a specialty finance company that invests in multiple asset classes. The complaint alleges that the Registration Statement and Prospectus were false and misleading in that they misrepresented and/or omitted material facts, including understating the risks attributable to real-estate-related assets held by the Company, the sufficiency of the Company's capital and KKR's mortgage-related exposure. The complaint also alleges that when, on August 15, 2007, KKR issued a release which revealed that KKR would be selling $5.1 billion in mortgage backed securities at a loss, the value of KKR shares fell substantially below the original offering price.
