NEW YORK, July 27 (Reuters) - Private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts plans to list on the New York Stock Exchange later this year in a complicated transaction that involves merging with its publicly listed Amsterdam investment fund, two sources familiar with the matter said on Sunday.
Under terms of the deal, KKR Private Equity Investors (KPE) would be delisted and KPE holders would receive 21 percent equity interest in KKR, one source said.
The transaction is expected in the fourth quarter, the sources said. KKR filed its registration statement to go public in July 2007.
