BUSINESS
PART I
When used in this report, unless otherwise indicated by the context, “we,” “our,” “us,” and “Kodak” refer to the consolidated company on the basis of
consolidation described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Form 10-K
Report. Also, unless otherwise indicated by the context, “EKC” means the parent company, Eastman Kodak Company (the “Company”).
Kodak provides directly, and through partnerships with other innovative companies, hardware, software, consumables and services to customers in graphic
arts, commercial print, publishing, electronic displays, entertainment and commercial films, and consumer products markets. With its world-class R&D
capabilities, innovative solutions portfolio and highly trusted brand, Kodak is helping customers around the globe to sustainably grow their own businesses and
enjoy their lives.
Kodak is a global commercial printing and imaging company with proprietary technologies in materials science, digital imaging science and software, and
deposition processes (methods whereby one or more layers of various materials in gaseous, liquid or small particle form are deposited on a substrate in
precise quantities and positions). Kodak leverages its core technology products and services to develop solutions for the product goods packaging and
graphic communications markets, and is developing products for the functional printing market. Kodak also offers brand licensing and intellectual property
opportunities, provides products and services for motion pictures and other commercial films, and sells ink to its existing installed consumer inkjet printer base.
Kodak’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis of accounting, which assumes Kodak will continue to operate as a
going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Refer to
Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Principles” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
The Company was founded by George Eastman in 1880 and incorporated in 1901 in the State of New Jersey. Kodak is headquartered in Rochester, New
York.
REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
Kodak has six reportable segments: Print Systems, Enterprise Inkjet Systems, Software and Solutions, Consumer and Film, Advanced Materials and 3D
Printing Technology and Eastman Business Park.
Print Systems
The Print Systems segment is comprised of Prepress Solutions, which includes Kodak’s digital offset plate offerings and computer-to-plate imaging solutions,
and Electrophotographic Printing Solutions, which offers high-quality digital printing solutions using electrically charged toner-based technology. The Print
Systems segment provides digital and traditional product and service offerings to a variety of commercial industries, including commercial print, direct mail,
book publishing, newspapers and magazines and packaging. While the businesses in this segment are experiencing pricing pressure, innovations in Kodak
product lines that can command premium prices offset some of the long-term market price erosion.
Prepress Solutions capitalizes on a contract-based, stable and recurring cash flow-generative business model. The average duration of customer contracts is
two years. These contracts offer stability and generate recurring revenue. The core of the business is the manufacturing of aluminum digital printing plates of
varying sizes. These plates can be as small as 23cm x 27cm and as large as 126cm x 287cm. Unexposed plates are sold to commercial printing companies
for use in the offset printing process. Kodak also manufactures equipment, known as Computer to Plate (“CTP”) equipment, which images the plates with a
laser. The plates are used in the offset printing process, which transfers ink from the plate onto a rubber blanket and then onto the substrate to be printed. Due
to the nature of the imaging and printing process, a new plate must be used for each printing run. As a result, there is a recurring revenue stream from the sale
of these plates.
Prices for aluminum have risen over the past year, in part due to strong global demand and more recently due to the imposition of U.S. tariffs. Kodak seeks to
mitigate the impact of high aluminum prices through a combination of price increases, commodity contracts, improved production efficiency and cost reduction
initiatives. In January 2019, Kodak received exemptions on U.S. tariffs for aluminum.
The Print Systems products and services are sold globally to customers through both a direct sales team as well as indirectly through dealers. Primary
competitors are Fuji and Agfa. Kodak expects to benefit from current industry trends, including customers’ increasing focus on sustainability initiatives, which
strengthens demand for Kodak’s process-free solutions.
• Prepress Solutions:
•
Digital offset plates, which includes KODAK SONORA Process Free Plates. KODAK SONORA Process Free Plates are prepared directly with a
CTP thermal output device and do not require subsequent processing chemistry, processing equipment or chemical disposal. As a result, the
plates deliver cost savings and efficiency for customers and promote environmental sustainability practices.
3
•
•
CTP output devices that are used by customers to transfer images onto aluminum offset printing plates and provide consistent and high-quality
imaging for offset press applications. CTP products provide high resolution, consistency and stability in thermal imaging. Kodak also offers a lower
cost CTP system using TH5 imaging technology, which provides a highly efficient and cost-effective imaging solution at a lower price point.
Net sales for Prepress Solutions accounted for 58% of Kodak’s total net revenue for each of the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
• Electrophotographic Printing Solutions:
•
•
•
NEXPRESS printers produce high-quality, differentiated printing of short-run, personalized print applications, such as direct mail, books, marketing
collateral and photo products.
DIGIMASTER printers use monochrome electrophotographic printing technology for transactional printing, short-run books, corporate
documentation, manuals and direct mail.
Net sales for Electrophotographic Printing Solutions accounted for 10% of Kodak’s total net revenue for each of the years ended December 31,
2018 and 2017.
The Print Systems segment also provides service and support related to these products.
Enterprise Inkjet Systems
The Enterprise Inkjet Systems segment contains the Prosper business and the Versamark business. The Enterprise Inkjet Systems products include
production press systems, consumables (primarily ink), inkjet components and services. Enterprise Inkjet Systems products are distributed directly by Kodak
and indirectly through dealers. The markets that the Enterprise Inkjet Systems segment serves are highly competitive in variable printing applications like
direct mail, newspapers, books, and packaging/labels. Key competitors are HP, Canon, Ricoh, and Screen.
• Prosper:
•
•
•
The Prosper business product offerings, including the PROSPER Press systems and PROSPER Components, feature ultrafast inkjet droplet
generation. This includes the PROSPER 6000 Press, which delivers a continuous flow of ink that enables constant and consistent operation, with
uniform ink droplet size and accurate placement, even at very high print speeds. Applications of the PROSPER Press include publishing,
commercial print, direct mail and packaging. PROSPER System Components are integrated into original equipment manufacturer partner
products and systems. Sales of equipment that incorporate the PROSPER Writing Systems result in recurring revenue from sales of ink and other
consumables and equipment service. The level of recurring revenue depends on the application for which the equipment is used, which drives the
total number of pages printed and, therefore, the amount of ink usage. The business model is further supplemented by consumption of other
consumables including refurbished jetting modules and service.
The focus of the Prosper business is on developing the next generation platform, Ultrastream, with solutions that place writing systems in original
equipment manufacturers (OEM) as well as direct sale press products that widens its reach into applications for packaging and décor and
expands the substrate range to include plastics. The Prosper business secured its first agreement in the fourth quarter of 2018 with an industry
OEM, who will integrate Ultrastream in a packaging press solution.
The Prosper business includes Kodak Print Services. Kodak Print Services prints the Jersey Evening Post as well as the majority of U.K. national
newspapers for distribution in both Jersey and Guernsey islands. The business is used to demonstrate the value of the Kodak Prosper presses to
customers around the world.
• Versamark:
•
The KODAK VERSAMARK Products are the predecessor products to the PROSPER Press. Kodak has ceased manufacturing VERSAMARK
Press systems. Users of KODAK VERSAMARK Products continue to purchase ink and other consumables as well as service from Kodak.
Applications of the VERSAMARK products include publishing, transactional, commercial print and direct mail.
Net sales for Enterprise Inkjet Systems accounted for 10% of Kodak’s total net revenue for each of the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Software and Solutions
The Software and Solutions segment is comprised of Unified Workflow Solutions and Kodak Technology Solutions, which includes enterprise services and
solutions. Unified Workflow Solutions is an established product line whereas Kodak Technology Solutions includes Kodak Services for Business (“KSB”) and
Kodakit. Sales in Kodak Technology Solutions are project-based and can vary from year to year depending on the nature and number of projects in existence
that year.
4
• Unified Workflow Solutions:
• Unified Workflow Solutions offers a leading suite of solutions for print production workflow, including the PRINERGY workflow production software,
by providing customer value through automation, web integration and integration with other Kodak systems and third-party offerings. Production
workflow software is used by customers to manage digital and conventional print content from file creation to output. Production workflow software
manages content and color, reduces manual errors and helps customers manage the collaborative creative process. Kodak believes it is a leader in
production workflow solutions for the commercial print and packaging industries with systems sold to many of the largest printing and packaging
establishments around the world. The Unified Workflow Solutions business includes digital front-end controllers which manage the delivery of
personalized content to digital presses while controlling color and print consistency. Products and services are sold directly by Kodak and indirectly
through dealers. The markets that Unified Workflow Solutions serves are highly competitive. Key customer segments each face competitive market
pressure in pricing and new product introduction. Primary competitors include Heidelberg, Agfa, Fuji, and Esko.
• Kodak Technology Solutions:
• KSB assists organizations with challenges and opportunities created by the worldwide digital transformation. It provides business process
outsourcing services, scan and capture solutions, records conversion services, workflow solutions, content management and print and managed
media services that assist customers with solutions that meet their business requirements. KSB has expertise in the capture, archiving, retrieval
and delivery of documents including in-depth knowledge of handling legacy media. KSB serves enterprise customers primarily in the banking,
insurance and government sectors. Digitization and document management services are provided by a variety of players, both global and local, in a
market that varies significantly in terms of quality and pricing of services provided.
• Kodakit is a platform that connects businesses with professional photographers to cater to their photography needs. Customers include global hotels
and online travel agencies, real estate companies, marketplaces, advertising agencies and global brands.
Consumer and Film
The Consumer and Film segment is comprised of three lines of business: Consumer Products, Industrial Film and Chemicals, and Motion Picture. Kodak’s
Consumer and Film products are distributed directly by Kodak and indirectly through dealers. Brand licensees use the Kodak brand on their products and use
their own distribution channels. Two Industrial Film and Chemicals customers represented approximately 30 percent of total Consumer and Film segment
revenues. China tariffs on U.S. made film are increasing material costs in China for printed circuit board film. Prolonged trade disputes with increasing tariffs
could have incremental negative impacts on material costs.
• Consumer Products:
•
•
•
•
Includes licensing of the Kodak brand to third parties. Kodak currently licenses its brand for use with a range of products including batteries,
digital and instant print cameras and camera accessories, printers, and LED lighting. Kodak intends to continue efforts to grow its portfolio of
brand licenses to generate both ongoing royalty streams and upfront payments.
Consumer Inkjet Solutions, which involves the sale of ink to an existing installed base of consumer inkjet printers.
3rd party sales of specialty inks and dispersions.
Kodak developed consumer products.
•
Industrial Film and Chemicals:
•
•
Offers industrial film, including films used by the electronics industry to produce printed circuit boards, as well as professional and consumer still
photographic film
Includes related component businesses: Polyester Film; Solvent Recovery; and Specialty Chemicals.
• Motion Picture:
•
•
Includes the motion picture film business serving the entertainment industry. Motion picture products are sold directly to studios, external
laboratories and independent filmmakers.
Kodak motion picture film processing laboratories offering onsite processing services at strategic locations in the U.S. and Europe.
5
Net sales for Motion Picture and Industrial Film and Chemicals accounted for 12% and 11% of Kodak’s total net revenue for the years ended December 31,
2018 and 2017, respectively.
Advanced Materials and 3D Printing Technology
The Advanced Materials and 3D Printing Technology segment contains the Kodak Research Laboratories and associated new business opportunities and
intellectual property licensing not directly related to other business divisions. Kodak conducts research and files patent applications with fundamental
inventions from the Kodak Research Laboratories. Additionally, Kodak continues to file new patent applications in areas aligned with its core businesses. Via
these core business patent applications along with the research inventions, Kodak maintains a large worldwide portfolio of pending applications and issued
patents. Because product solutions in Advanced Materials and 3D Printing are in the process of being commercialized or are new business opportunities, a
higher-level of investment has been required. Advanced Materials and 3D Printing Technology significantly reduced the level of this investment in the fourth
quarter of 2017, concentrating on opportunities that are commercialized or nearly commercialized with identified markets and customers.
The Advanced Materials and 3D Printing Technology segment will also pursue partnership opportunities to commercialize materials and printed electronics
technologies. These partnerships may include non-recurring engineering payments for Kodak efforts to further develop such technologies into
products. Further, the Advanced Materials and 3D Printing Technology segment provides a wide range of analytical services and non-recurring engineering
services to external clients at market rates for such services.
• Advanced Materials:
•
Advanced Materials is developing solutions for component smart materials based on the materials science inventions and innovations from the
research laboratories. There are multiple applications that Kodak contemplates addressing in this category, but the singular focus now is light
blocking particles for the textile market.
•
3D Printing:
•
3D Printing concentrates on partnership and/or licensing opportunities in printed electronics (micro 3D printing) and materials production for
macro 3D printing companies.
•
IP Licensing:
•
Kodak actively seeks opportunities to leverage its patents and associated technology in licensing and/or cross-licensing deals to support both
revenue growth and its ongoing businesses. While revenues from these licensing activities tend to be unpredictable in nature, this segment still
carries the potential for revenue generation from intellectual property licensing and new materials businesses.
Eastman Business Park
The Eastman Business Park segment includes the operations of the Eastman Business Park, a more than 1,200-acre technology center and industrial
complex in Rochester, New York and the leasing activities related to that space. A large portion of this facility is used in Kodak’s own manufacturing and other
operations, while the remaining portion is occupied by external tenants or available for rent to external tenants. Three tenants represented approximately 50%
of total Eastman Business Park segment revenues in 2018. A tenant that represented approximately 20% of segment revenues for the year ending December
31, 2018 did not renew its lease upon expiration in the third quarter of 2018.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Discontinued operations of Kodak include the Flexographic Packaging business. Refer to Note 27, “Discontinued Operations” in the Notes to Financial
Statements for additional information.
6
RAW MATERIALS
The raw materials used by Kodak are many and varied and are generally readily available. Lithographic aluminum is the primary material used in the
manufacture of offset printing plates. Kodak procures lithographic aluminum coils from several suppliers with pricing based, in part, on either prevailing market
prices for aluminum or on fixed prices for aluminum agreed to up to one year prior. Electronic components are used in the manufacturing of commercial
printers and other electronic devices. The film and chemicals business uses many raw materials from a broad range of suppliers. Most electronic
components, raw materials and other components are generally available from multiple sources. However, certain key electronic components, raw materials
and other components included in the finished goods manufactured by Kodak and manufactured by and purchased from Kodak’s third-party suppliers are
obtained from single or limited sources, which subjects Kodak to supply risks.
SEASONALITY OF BUSINESS
Equipment and plate unit sales generally are higher in the fourth quarter, resulting from customer or industry budgeting practices and buying patterns.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Kodak's general practice is to protect its investment in research and development and its freedom to use its inventions by obtaining patents. The ownership of
these patents contributes to Kodak's ability to provide industry-leading products. Kodak holds portfolios of patents in several areas important to its business,
including specific technologies such as flexographic and lithographic printing plates and related equipment systems; digital printing workflow and color
management proofing systems; color and black-and-white electrophotographic printing systems including key press components and toners; commercial inkjet
writing systems and components, presses and inks; consumer inkjet inks and media; functional printing materials, formulations, and deposition modalities;
engineered microparticles for specific functions; security materials; embedded information; and color negative films, processing and print films. Each of these
areas is important to existing and emerging business opportunities that bear directly on Kodak's overall business performance.
Kodak's major products are not dependent upon one single, material patent. Rather, the technologies that underlie Kodak's products are supported by an
aggregation of patents having various remaining lives and expiration dates. There is no individual patent, or group of patents, whose expiration is expected to
have a material impact on Kodak's results of operations.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Kodak is subject to various laws and governmental regulations concerning environmental matters. The U.S. federal environmental legislation and state
regulatory programs having an impact on Kodak include the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Clean Air Act,
the Clean Water Act, the NY State Chemical Bulk Storage Regulations and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of
1980, as amended (the “Superfund Law”).
It is Kodak’s policy to carry out its business activities in a manner consistent with sound health, safety and environmental management practices, and to
comply with applicable health, safety and environmental laws and regulations. Kodak continues to engage in programs for environmental, health and safety
protection and control.
Based upon information presently available, future costs associated with environmental compliance are not expected to have a material effect on Kodak's
capital expenditures or competitive position, although costs could be material to a particular quarter or year.
EMPLOYMENT
At the end of 2018, Kodak employed the full time equivalent of approximately 5,400 people globally, of whom approximately 2,300 were employed in the U.S.
The actual number of employees may be greater because some individuals work part time.
AVAILABLE INFORMATION
Kodak files many reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (www.sec.gov), including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. These reports, and amendments to these reports, are made available free of charge as soon as reasonably
practicable after being electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC. They are available through Kodak's website at www.Kodak.com. To reach the SEC
filings, follow the links to About Kodak, Investor Center, Financial Information and then SEC Filings.

ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
Kodak operates in rapidly changing economic and technological environments which present numerous risks, many of which are driven by factors it cannot
control or predict. Certain factors may have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and results of operations. You should consider
carefully the risks and uncertainties described below in addition to other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) section and the consolidated financial statements and
related notes. The following discussion of “risk factors” identifies Kodak’s assessment of the most significant factors which may adversely affect its business,
operations, financial position or future financial performance. Additional risks and uncertainties Kodak is unaware of, or currently believes are not material,
may also become important factors which could adversely affect its business, operations, financial position or future financial performance.
Risks Related to Kodak’s Business
If Kodak is not able to successfully implement its business plans, or experiences implementation delays in cost structure reduction, Kodak’s
consolidated results of operations, financial position and liquidity could be negatively affected.
Kodak’s business plans are subject to a number of assumptions, projections, and analysis. If these assumptions prove to be incorrect, Kodak may be
unsuccessful in executing its business plans or achieving the projected results, which could adversely impact its financial results and liquidity. In addition,
Kodak continues to rationalize its workforce and streamline operations to a leaner and more focused organization aligned with its business initiatives. There
are no assurances such measures will prove to be successful or the cost savings or other results it achieves through these plans will be consistent with its
expectations. As a result, its results of operations, financial position and liquidity could be negatively impacted. If restructuring plans are not effectively
managed, it may experience lost customer sales, product delays, additional costs and other unanticipated effects, causing harm to its business and customer
relationships. Finally, the timing and implementation of these plans require compliance with numerous laws and regulations, including local labor laws, and the
failure to comply with such requirements may result in damages, fines and penalties which could adversely affect Kodak’s business.
If Kodak cannot successfully manage and complete the divestiture of the Flexographic Packaging Division, the Company’s strategic objectives and
financial condition could be adversely impacted, as well as Kodak’s ability to meet debt obligations including compliance with debt covenants and
other commitments as they become due.
On November 11, 2018, Kodak entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Flexographic Packaging Division to Montagu Private Equity LLP. The transaction
is expected to close as early as April 8, 2019, subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions. The net proceeds from the transaction will be used by Kodak to
reduce outstanding term debt. The Company expects that the remaining outstanding term debt will be refinanced and/or repaid using cash proceeds from
capital-raising activities.
Successfully executing and completing the divestiture transaction may be costly, difficult, and time consuming, and may require varying levels of management
resources, which may divert our attention from other business obligations. The divestiture transaction may not close within the expected timeframe, which
could impact Kodak’s ability to meet debt obligations and compliance with debt covenants. We could also experience greater dis-synergies than expected and
the impact of the divestiture on our results of operations could be greater than anticipated.
Kodak makes no assurances regarding the likelihood, certainty or timing of consummating any asset sales, including the Flexographic Packaging Division,
refinancing of the Company’s existing debt, or regarding the sufficiency of any such actions to meet Kodak’s debt obligations, including compliance with debt
covenants, and to eliminate substantial doubt about Kodak’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability to generate positive operating cash flows will be necessary for Kodak to continue to operate its business.
Kodak has not generated positive operating cash flows over the past five years and, based on forecasted cash flows, there are uncertainties regarding its
ability to meet commitments in the U.S. as they come due. The Print Systems segment is its largest segment and has had declining revenues and segment
earnings which are expected to continue to decline. Kodak expects to close the sale of its Flexographic Packaging Division which has been growing. Kodak’s
stable and remaining growth businesses may not grow or continue to generate the same or enough cash flow to offset businesses with declining cash flows
and investments needed for certain growth businesses. It may take Kodak longer to generate positive cash flow from operations than planned, which would
have a material adverse effect on its liquidity and financial position. If Kodak is unable to generate positive cash flow from operations in the future or to
adequately supplement such cash flow from operations with proceeds from the sale of businesses or assets or other monetization transactions, its ability to
continue as a going concern could be impaired or limited.
Continued investment, capital needs, restructuring payments, dividends and servicing the Company’s debt require a significant amount of cash
and it may not be able to generate sufficient cash to fund these activities, which could adversely affect its business, operating results and financial
condition.
8
Kodak’s business may not generate cash flow in an amount sufficient to enable it to pay the principal or mandatory redemption price of, or interest and
dividends on its indebtedness and Series A Preferred Stock, or to fund Kodak’s other liquidity needs, including working capital, capital expenditures, product
development efforts, strategic acquisitions, investments and alliances, restructuring actions and other general corporate requirements.
Kodak’s ability to generate cash is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, litigation, regulatory and other factors beyond its control. There are no
assurances:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Kodak’s businesses will generate sufficient cash flow from operations;
Kodak will be able to generate expected levels of operational EBITDA;
Kodak will be able to repatriate or move cash to locations where and when it is needed;
the Company will meet all the conditions associated with making borrowings or issuing letters of credit under the ABL
Credit Agreement;
Kodak will realize cost savings, earnings growth and operating improvements resulting from the execution of its business
and restructuring plan;
Kodak will not have to expend cash defending lawsuits regardless of the merits of any claims raised; or
Future sources of funding will be available in amounts sufficient to enable funding of its liquidity needs.
If Kodak cannot fund its liquidity needs, it will have to take actions, such as reducing or delaying capital expenditures, product development efforts, strategic
acquisitions, and investments and alliances; selling additional assets; restructuring or refinancing the Company’s debt; or seeking additional equity capital.
Such actions could increase the Company’s debt, negatively impact customer confidence in its ability to provide products and services, reduce its ability to
raise additional capital and delay sustained profitability. There are no assurances any of these actions could, if necessary, be taken on commercially
reasonable terms, or at all, or they would satisfy Kodak’s liquidity needs. In addition, if it were able to incur additional debt, the risks associated with the
Company’s substantial leverage, including the risk it will be unable to service its debt, generate cash flow sufficient to fund its liquidity needs, or maintain
compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreements, could significantly increase.
Kodak’s inability to effectively complete and manage strategic transactions could adversely impact its business performance, including its
financial results.
As part of Kodak’s strategy, it may be engaged in discussions with third parties regarding possible divestitures, asset sales, spin-offs, investments,
acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint ventures, and outsourcing transactions and may enter into agreements relating to such transactions in order to further its
business objectives. In order to successfully pursue its strategic transaction strategy, it must identify suitable buyers, sellers and partners and successfully
complete transactions, some of which may be large and complex, and manage post-closing issues such as the elimination of any remaining post-sale costs
related to divested businesses, particularly following the sale of the Flexographic Packaging Division. Transaction risk can be more pronounced for larger and
more complicated transactions or when multiple transactions are pursued simultaneously. There are no assurances Kodak will be able to consummate any
strategic transactions which it undertakes or, if consummated, Kodak will achieve the benefits sought to be achieved from such strategic transactions. If
Kodak fails to identify and successfully complete transactions that further its strategic objectives, it may be required to expend resources to develop products
and technology internally, it may be at a competitive disadvantage or it may be adversely affected by negative market perceptions. Any of these factors could
have an adverse effect on its revenue, gross margins and profitability. In addition, unpredictability surrounding the timing of such transactions could adversely
affect its financial results.
If Kodak is unable to successfully develop, fund and commercialize products in certain businesses upon which it is focused or do so within an
acceptable timeframe, its financial performance could be adversely affected.
Kodak has focused its investments on imaging and printing for business, specifically, commercial inkjet, packaging, advanced materials and 3D printing, and
software and services. Each of these businesses requires additional investment and may not be successful. The introduction of successful innovative
products at market competitive prices and the achievement of scale are necessary for it to grow these businesses, improve margins and achieve its financial
objectives. Additionally, its strategy is based on a number of factors and assumptions, some of which are not within its control, such as the actions of third
parties. There can be no assurance that it will be able to successfully execute all or any elements of its strategy, or that its ability to successfully execute its
strategy will be unaffected by external factors. If it is unsuccessful in growing Kodak’s investment businesses as planned, or perceiving the needs of its target
customers, its financial performance could be adversely affected.
Kodak may pursue acquisitions or combinations which could fail or present unanticipated problems for its business in the future, which would
adversely affect its ability to realize the anticipated benefits of those transactions or increase the price it would be required to pay.
Kodak may seek to enter into transactions which may include acquiring or combining with other businesses. It may not be able to identify suitable acquisition
or combination opportunities or finance and complete any particular acquisition or combination successfully. Furthermore, acquisitions and combinations
involve a number of risks and challenges, including:
•
•
•
the ability to obtain required regulatory and other approvals;
the need to integrate acquired or combined operations with its business;
potential loss of key employees;
9
•
•
•
•
•
•
difficulty in evaluating operating costs, infrastructure requirements, environmental and other liabilities and other factors
beyond its control;
wrong, inaccurate or changing business assumptions on which such acquisitions or combinations are predicated;
potential lack of operating experience in new business or geographic areas;
an increase in its expenses and working capital requirements;
management’s attention may be temporarily diverted; and
the possibility it may be required to issue a substantial amount of additional equity or debt securities or assume additional
debt in connection with any such transactions.
Any of these factors could adversely affect its ability to achieve anticipated levels of cash flows or realize synergies or other anticipated benefits from a
strategic transaction. Furthermore, the market for transactions is highly competitive, which may adversely affect its ability to find transactions which fit its
strategic objectives or increase the price it would be required to pay (which could decrease the benefit of the transaction or hinder its desire or ability to
consummate the transaction). Strategic transactions may occur at any time and may be significant in size relative to its assets and operations.
Due to the nature of the products it sells and Kodak’s worldwide distribution, Kodak is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates,
interest rates and commodity costs which may adversely impact its results of operations and financial position.
As a result of Kodak’s global operating and financing activities, it is exposed to changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates, which may adversely
affect its results of operations and financial position. Exchange rates and interest rates in markets in which it does business tend to be volatile and, at times,
its sales and profitability can be negatively impacted across all its segments depending upon the value of the U.S. dollar and other major currencies such as
the euro, the Japanese yen, the British pound and the Chinese yuan. In addition, Kodak’s products contain aluminum, silver, petroleum-based or other
commodity based raw materials, the prices of which have been, and may continue to be, volatile. In the case of aluminum, recently imposed tariffs may give
rise to future cost increases. If the global economic situation remains uncertain or worsens, there could be further volatility in changes in currency exchange
rates, interest rates and commodity prices, which could have negative effects on its revenue and earnings.
Weakness or worsening of global economic conditions could adversely affect Kodak’s financial performance and liquidity.
The global economic environment may adversely affect sales of Kodak’s products, profitability and liquidity. Global financial markets have been experiencing
volatility. Economic conditions could accelerate any decline in demand for products, which could also place pressure on its results of operations and liquidity.
There is no guarantee that anticipated economic growth levels in markets which have experienced some economic strength will continue in the future, or
Kodak will succeed in expanding sales in these markets. In addition, accounts receivable and past due accounts could increase due to a decline in its
customers’ ability to pay as a result of an economic downturn, and its liquidity, including its ability to use credit lines, could be negatively impacted by failures of
financial instrument counterparties, including banks and other financial institutions. If global economic weakness and tightness in the credit markets exist,
worsen or are attenuated, Kodak’s profitability and related cash generation capability could be adversely affected and, therefore, affect its ability to meet its
anticipated cash needs, impair its liquidity or increase its costs of borrowing.
In June 2016, the United Kingdom (the “UK”) held a referendum in which voters opted for the country’s exit from the EU, commonly referred to as Brexit and,
accordingly, the UK is scheduled to leave the EU on April 12, 2019 (unless delayed). The UK government has been negotiating with the EU on terms for such
exit but no agreement has yet been reached. Leaving without any agreement on terms would lead to disruption to UK/EU trade. However, we have put
appropriate plans in place for continuity of supply and purchase of products, although there is likely to be some limited cost impact associated with these plans.
The prospect of Brexit has also caused global stock market volatility and currency exchange rate fluctuations that resulted in strengthening of the U.S. dollar
relative to other foreign currencies in which we conduct business. There may also be broader uncertainty over the position the United States will take with
respect to certain treaty and trade relationships with other countries. This uncertainty may impact (i) the ability or willingness of non-U.S. companies to transact
business in the United States, including with our company, (ii) regulation and trade agreements affecting U.S. companies, (iii) global stock markets and (iv)
general global economic conditions. All of these factors are outside of our control but may cause us to adjust our strategy in order to compete effectively in
global markets and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
If Kodak is unable to successfully develop or commercialize new products or do so in a timely manner, its business, financial position and
operating results may suffer.
Kodak generally sells its products in industries which are characterized by rapid technological changes, frequent new product and service introductions and
changing industry standards. Without the timely introduction of new products, services and enhancements, its products and services will become
technologically obsolete over time, in which case its revenue and operating results would suffer. Therefore, its future results of operations will depend to a
significant extent upon its ability to successfully commercialize new products in a timely manner. The success of its new products and services will depend on
several factors, including its ability to:
•
•
identify customer needs;
innovate and develop new technologies, services, and applications;
10
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
commercialize new technologies in a timely manner;
manufacture and deliver its products in sufficient volumes and on time;
differentiate its offerings from its competitors’ offerings;
price its products and services competitively;
anticipate its competitors’ development of new products, services or technological innovations;
work successfully alongside its partners; and
control product quality in its manufacturing processes.
As a result of these and other factors, products currently in development by Kodak (for example, UltraStream technology, small particle technology and Ultra
NX) may or may not be successfully commercialized in a timely manner, or at all. If any of its key products cannot be successfully or timely commercialized, its
operating results could be adversely affected. Moreover, it cannot guarantee any investment made in developing products will be recouped, even if it is
successful in commercializing those products, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position and operating results.
If Kodak’s commercialization and manufacturing processes fail to prevent issues with product reliability, yield and quality, its product launch plans
may be delayed, its financial results may be adversely impacted, and its reputation may be harmed.
In developing, commercializing and manufacturing Kodak’s products and services it must adequately address reliability and prevent yield and other quality
issues, including defects in its engineering, design and manufacturing processes, as well as defects in third-party components included in its products.
Because Kodak’s products are sophisticated and complicated to develop and commercialize with rapid advances in technologies, the occurrence of defects
may increase, particularly with the introduction of new product lines. Unanticipated issues with product performance may delay product launch plans which
could result in additional expenses, lost revenue and earnings. Although it has established internal procedures to minimize risks which may arise from product
quality issues, there can be no assurance it will be able to eliminate or mitigate occurrences of these issues and associated liabilities. Product reliability, yield
and quality issues can impair its relationships with new or existing customers and adversely affect its brand image; product quality issues can result in recalls,
warranty, or other service obligations and litigation, and its reputation as a producer of high quality products could suffer, which could adversely affect its
business as well as its financial results.
If the reputation of Kodak or its brand erodes significantly, it could have a material impact on its financial results.
Kodak’s reputation, and the reputation of its brand, form the foundation of its relationships with key stakeholders and other constituencies, including customers,
suppliers and consumers. The quality and safety of Kodak’s products are critical to its business. Kodak’s products have worldwide recognition, and its
financial success is directly dependent on the success of its product offering. One aspect of Kodak’s business is licensing others to use Kodak’s brand in
connection with the sale of such licensees’ products and services, and activities by such licensees may be perceived by the market as being activities of
Kodak. The success of Kodak’s brand can suffer if its or its licensees’ marketing plans, product initiatives or activities do not have the desired impact on the
brand’s image or ability to attract customers. Kodak’s results could also be negatively impacted if its brand suffers substantial harm to its reputation due to
significant product reliability and quality issues, and product-related litigation. Additionally, negative or inaccurate postings or comments on social media or
networking websites about Kodak, its licensees or its brand could generate adverse publicity which could damage the reputation of the brand. Kodak also
devotes significant time and resources to programs consistent with its corporate values and commitments that are designed to protect and preserve its
reputation, such as social responsibility and environmental sustainability. If these programs are not executed as planned or suffer negative publicity, Kodak’s
reputation and financial results could be adversely impacted.
The competitive pressures it faces could harm Kodak’s revenue, gross margins, cash flow and market share.
The markets in which Kodak does business are highly competitive with large, entrenched, and well financed industry participants, many of which are larger
than Kodak. In addition, it encounters aggressive price competition for many of its products and services from numerous companies globally. Any of its
competitors may:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
foresee the course of market developments more accurately than it does;
sell superior products and provide superior services or offer a broader variety of products and services;
have the ability to produce or supply similar products and services at a lower cost;
have better access to supplies and the ability to acquire supplies at a lower cost;
develop stronger relationships with its suppliers or customers;
adapt more quickly to new technologies or evolving customer requirements than it does; or
have access to capital markets or other financing sources on more favorable terms than it can obtain.
11
As a result, Kodak may not be able to compete successfully with its competitors. Finally, it may not be able to maintain its operating costs or prices at levels
which would allow it to compete effectively. Kodak’s results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by these and other industry-wide
pricing pressures. If its products, services and pricing are not sufficiently competitive with current and future competitors, it could also lose market share,
adversely affecting its revenue, gross margins and cash flow.
An inability to provide competitive financing arrangements to Kodak’s customers or extension of credit to customers whose creditworthiness
deteriorates could adversely impact its revenue, profitability and financial position.
The competitive environment in which Kodak operates may require it to facilitate or provide financing to its customers. Customer financing arrangements may
cover all or a portion of the purchase price for its products and services. It may also assist customers in obtaining financing from banks and other sources. Its
success may be dependent, in part, upon its ability to provide customer financing on competitive terms and on its customers’ creditworthiness. Tightening of
credit in the global financial markets can adversely affect the ability of Kodak’s customers to obtain financing for significant purchases, which may result in a
decrease in, or cancellation of, orders for its products and services. If Kodak is unable to provide competitive financing solutions to its customers or if it extends
credit to customers whose creditworthiness deteriorates, its revenues, profitability and financial position could be adversely impacted.
The loss of one or more of Kodak’s key personnel, or its failure to attract and retain other highly qualified personnel in the future, could harm its
business.
In order for it to be successful, Kodak must continue to attract, retain and motivate executives and other key employees, including technical, managerial,
marketing, sales, research and support positions. Hiring and retaining qualified executives, research and engineering professionals, and qualified sales
representatives, particularly in Kodak’s targeted growth markets, are critical to its future. It may be unable to attract and retain highly qualified management
and employees, particularly if it does not offer employment terms competitive with the rest of the market. Failure to attract and retain qualified individuals, key
leaders, executives and employees, or failure to develop and implement a viable succession plan, could result in inadequate depth of institutional knowledge
or skill sets, which could adversely affect its business.
If Kodak cannot effectively anticipate technology trends and develop and market new products to respond to changing customer preferences, its
revenue, earnings and cash flow could be adversely affected.
Kodak serves imaging needs for business markets, including packaging, graphic communications, enterprise services, and printed electronics. Its success in
these markets depends on its ability to offer differentiated solutions and technologies to capture market share and grow scale. To enable this, it must
continually develop and introduce new products and services in a timely manner to keep pace with technological developments and achieve customer
acceptance. In addition, the services and products it provides to customers may not or may no longer meet the needs of its customers as the business models
of its customers evolve. Its customers may decide to outsource their imaging needs or may purchase imaging services and needs from other suppliers. In
addition, it is difficult to predict successfully the products and services its customers will demand. The success of Kodak’s business depends in part on its
ability to identify and respond promptly to changes in customer preferences, expectations and needs. If it does not timely assess and respond to changing
customer expectations, preferences and needs, its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be adversely affected.
If Kodak is unable to timely anticipate new technology trends, develop improvements to its current technology to address changing customer preferences, and
effectively communicate its businesses, products, and the markets it serves, its revenue, earnings and cash flow could be adversely affected. The success of
Kodak’s technology development efforts may be affected by the development efforts of its competitors, which may have more financial and other resources to
better ascertain technology trends, changing customer preferences, and changing business expectations or models. Kodak’s assessment and response may
as a result be incomplete or inferior when compared to its competitors, which could adversely affect its product roadmaps and associated revenue streams.
Kodak has reduced the scope of its corporate-focused research and development activities. If its investment in research and product development is
inadequate, its response to changing customer needs and changing market dynamics may be too slow and this may adversely affect revenue streams from
new products and services.
Kodak makes sizeable investments in new products and services that may not achieve expected returns.
Commercial success depends on many factors, including innovativeness, developer support, and effective distribution and marketing. If customers do not
perceive Kodak’s latest offerings as providing significant new functionality or other value, they may reduce their purchases of new products or upgrades,
unfavorably affecting revenue. Kodak may not achieve significant revenue from new product, service, and distribution channel investments for several years, if
at all. New products and services may not be profitable, and even if they are profitable, operating margins for some new products and businesses may not be
as high as the margins Kodak has experienced historically. Developing new technologies is complex. It can require long development and testing periods.
Significant delays in new releases or significant problems in creating new products or services could adversely affect Kodak’s revenue.
Kodak relies on third-party suppliers and service providers to support its manufacturing, logistics, and business operations and faces the risks
associated with reliance on external business partners.
12
Kodak relies on third-party suppliers for goods and services to support its manufacturing, logistics, and business operations. To the extent it relies on third-
parties, it faces the risks that those third parties may not be able to:
develop manufacturing methods appropriate to Kodak’s products;
•
• maintain an adequate control environment;
•
•
• mitigate the impact of labor shortages and/or other disruptions.
quickly respond to changes in customer demand for Kodak’s products;
obtain supplies and materials necessary for the manufacturing process; or
Suppliers may choose to unilaterally withhold products, components or services. In addition, Kodak may experience shortages in supply and disruptions in
service as a result of unexpected demand, transportation and logistical limitations, and/or disruptions or production difficulties at its suppliers, such as
disruptions due to fires, other natural disasters or events outside of a supplier’s control. In addition, disruptions could result from a reduction in the number of
its suppliers due to their own financial difficulties or a reduction in the products offered by such suppliers. As a result of the loss of any supplier, or a substantial
decrease in the availability of products from its suppliers, Kodak may be unable to meet its customer commitments, its costs could be higher than planned, and
its cash flows and the reliability of its products could be negatively impacted. Kodak will vigorously enforce its contractual rights under such circumstances, but
there is no guarantee it will be successful in preventing or mitigating the effects of unilateral actions by its suppliers. Other supplier problems that Kodak could
encounter include electronic component shortages, excess supply, risks related to the duration and termination of its contracts with suppliers for components
and materials and risks related to the ability to obtain products, components or services from single source suppliers on favorable terms or at all. The
realization of any of these risks, should alternative third-party relationships not be established, could cause interruptions in supply or increases in costs which
might result in Kodak’s inability to meet customer demand for its products, damage to its relationships with its customers, and reduced market share, all of
which could adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition.
Any significant negative change in the payment terms that Kodak has with its suppliers could adversely affect its liquidity. There is a risk that Kodak’s key
suppliers could respond to any actual or apparent decrease in or any concern with its financial results or liquidity by requiring or conditioning their sale of
goods or services to Kodak on more stringent or more costly payment terms, such as by requiring standby letters of credit, earlier or advance payment of
invoices, payment upon delivery, or shorter payment terms. Kodak’s need for additional liquidity could significantly increase and its supply could be materially
disrupted if a significant portion of its key suppliers and vendors took one or more of the actions described above, which could have a material adverse effect
on its sales, customer satisfaction, cash flows, liquidity and financial position.
Business disruptions could seriously harm Kodak’s future revenue and financial condition and increase its costs and expenses.
Worldwide operations could be subject to earthquakes, power shortages, telecommunications failures, cyber-attacks, terrorism and other physical security
threats, water shortages, tsunamis, floods, hurricanes, typhoons, fires, extreme weather conditions, medical epidemics, political or economic instability, and
other natural or manmade disasters or business interruptions, for which Kodak is predominantly self-insured. The occurrence of any of these business
disruptions could seriously harm its revenue and financial condition and increase its costs and expenses. In addition, some areas, including parts of the east
and west coasts of the United States, have previously experienced, and may experience in the future, major power shortages and blackouts. These blackouts
could cause disruptions to its operations or the operations of its suppliers, distributors and resellers, or customers. It has operations including research and
development facilities in geographically disparate locations, such as Israel, Japan, China, Canada and Germany. The impact of these risks is greater in areas
where products are manufactured at a sole or limited number of location(s), and where the sourcing of materials is limited to a sole or limited base of suppliers,
since any material interruption in operations in such locations or suppliers could impact Kodak’s ability to provide a particular product or service for a period of
time.
Kodak could be adversely impacted by a security breach, through cyber-attack, cyber intrusion, insider threats or otherwise, or other significant
disruption of its IT networks and related systems or of those it operates for certain of its customers.
To effectively manage Kodak’s global business, it depends on secure and reliable information technology systems with accurate data. These systems and their
underlying infrastructure are provided by a combination of Kodak and third-parties, and if unavailable or unreliable, could disrupt Kodak’s operations, causing
delays or cancellation of customer orders, impeding the manufacturing or delivery of products, delaying the reporting of financial results, or impacting other
business processes critical to running its business.
Kodak’s IT systems contain critical information about its business, including intellectual property and confidential information of its customers, business
partners, and employees. Cyber-attacks or defects in its systems could result in this proprietary information being disclosed or modified, which could cause
significant damage to its business or its reputation. Kodak has system controls and security measures in place that are designed to protect its IT systems
against intentional or unintentional disruptions of its operations or disclosure of confidential information, but it may not be able to implement solutions that
result in stopping or detecting all of these threats to its internal information systems or those of its third-party providers. A breach of Kodak’s security
measures could result in unauthorized access to and misuse of its information, corruption of data, or disruption of operations, any of which could have a
material adverse impact on its business.
Kodak also provides IT-based products and services to its customers, and operates services used by its customers and hosted by Kodak, both businesses and
consumers, and a breach of its security or reliability measures, or those of its third-party service providers, could negatively impact its customers’ operations or
data privacy.
13
Attacks on information technology systems continue to grow in frequency, complexity and sophistication, and Kodak is regularly targeted by unauthorized
parties using malicious tactics, code and viruses. It has programs in place to prevent, detect and respond to data or cyber security incidents. However,
because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems change frequently, are increasingly more
complex and sophisticated and may be difficult to detect for long periods of time, Kodak may be unable or fail to anticipate these techniques or implement
adequate or timely preventive or responsive measures.
Failure to comply with anti-corruption laws and regulations, anti-money laundering laws and regulations, economic and trade sanctions, and
similar laws could have a materially adverse effect on Kodak’s reputation, results of operations or financial condition, or have other adverse
consequences.
Regulators worldwide are exercising heightened scrutiny with respect to anti-corruption, economic and trade sanctions, and anti-money laundering laws and
regulations. Such heightened scrutiny has resulted in more aggressive investigations and enforcement of such laws and more burdensome regulations, any of
which could adversely impact Kodak’s business. Kodak has a global operating presence, including in numerous developing economies where companies and
government officials are more likely to engage in business practices that are prohibited by domestic and foreign laws and regulations, including the United
States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act. Such laws generally prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign government
officials and leaders of political parties, and in some cases, to other persons, for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Kodak is also subject to
economic and trade sanctions programs, including those administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, which prohibit or
restrict transactions or dealings with specified countries, their governments, and in certain circumstances, their nationals, and with individuals and entities that
are specially designated, including narcotics traffickers and terrorists or terrorist organizations, among others. In addition, Kodak is subject to anti-money
laundering laws and regulations.
Kodak has implemented policies and procedures to monitor and address compliance with applicable anti-corruption, economic and trade sanctions and anti-
money laundering laws and regulations, and it is continuously in the process of reviewing, upgrading and enhancing certain of its policies and procedures.
However, there can be no assurance that its employees, consultants or agents will not take actions in violation of its policies for which it may be ultimately
responsible, or that its policies and procedures will be adequate or will be determined to be adequate by regulators. Any violations of applicable anti-
corruption, economic and trade sanctions or anti-money laundering laws or regulations could limit certain of Kodak’s business activities until they are
satisfactorily remediated and could result in civil and criminal penalties, including fines, which could damage its reputation and have a materially adverse effect
on its results of operation or financial condition.
Failure to comply with privacy, data protection and cyber security laws and regulations could have a materially adverse effect on Kodak’s
reputation, results of operations or financial condition.
Kodak receives, processes, transmits and stores information relating to identifiable individuals (personal information), both in its role as a technology provider
and as an employer. As a result, Kodak is subject to numerous U.S. federal and state and foreign laws and regulations relating to personal information. These
laws have been subject to frequent changes, and new legislation in this area may be enacted at any time. In Europe, the General Data Protection Regulation
(“GDPR”) became effective on May 25, 2018 for all European Union (“EU”) member states. The GDPR includes operational requirements for companies
receiving or processing personal data of EU residents that are partially different from those previously in place and includes significant penalties for non-
compliance. This change, as well as any other change to existing laws, the introduction of new laws in this area, or the failure to comply with existing laws that
are applicable, may subject Kodak to, among other things, additional costs or changes to its business practices, liability for monetary damages, fines and/or
criminal prosecution, unfavorable publicity, restrictions on its ability to obtain and process information and allegations by its customers and clients that it has
not performed its contractual obligations. At the same time, the risk of cyber-attacks is relevant to the requirements regarding storage, transfer, sharing and
handling of personal information.
This environment demands Kodak continuously improve its design and coordination of security controls and contractual arrangements across its businesses
and geographies. Despite these efforts, it is possible its security controls over personal data, its training of employees and vendors on data privacy and data
security, and other practices it follows may not prevent the improper disclosure of personal information. Improper disclosure of this information could harm its
reputation or subject it to liability under laws which protect personal data, resulting in increased costs or loss of revenue.
If Kodak cannot protect the intellectual property rights on which its business depends, or if third parties assert it violates their intellectual property
rights, its revenue, earnings, expenses and liquidity may be adversely impacted.
14
A key differentiator for Kodak in many of its businesses is its technological advantage over competitors’ products and solutions. Its technological advantage is
supported by Kodak’s intellectual property rights. Patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws in the United States and similar laws in other countries,
and non-disclosure, confidentiality and other types of agreements with Kodak’s employees, customers, suppliers and other parties, may not be effective in
establishing, maintaining, protecting and enforcing Kodak’s intellectual property rights. Any of Kodak’s direct or indirect intellectual property rights could be
challenged, invalidated, circumvented, infringed, diluted, disclosed or misappropriated, or such intellectual property rights may not be sufficient to permit it to
take advantage of current market trends or otherwise to provide competitive advantages, which could result in costly product redesign efforts, discontinuance
of certain product offerings or other competitive harm. Further, the laws of certain countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same degree as the laws of
the United States. Therefore, in certain jurisdictions, Kodak may be unable to protect its proprietary technology adequately against unauthorized third party
copying, infringement or use, which could adversely affect its competitive position. Also, much of Kodak’s business and many of its products rely on key
technologies developed or licensed by third parties and, because of the rapid pace of technological change in the information technology industry, it may not
be able to obtain or continue to obtain licenses and technologies from relevant third parties on reasonable terms, or at all.
Kodak also licenses third parties to use its trademarks. In an effort to preserve its trademark rights, Kodak enters into license agreements with these third
parties which govern the use of its trademarks and require its licensees to abide by quality control standards with respect to the goods and services they
provide under the trademarks. Although Kodak makes efforts to police the use of its trademarks by its licensees, there can be no assurance these efforts will
be sufficient to ensure the licensees abide by the terms of their licenses. In the event Kodak’s licensees fail to do so, its trademark rights could be diluted and
its reputation harmed by its licensees’ activities. Also, failure by Kodak and its licensees to sufficiently exploit any of Kodak’s trademarks in any markets could
erode Kodak’s trademark rights with respect to the relevant trademarks. Because the laws and enforcement regimes of certain countries do not protect
proprietary rights to the same degree as those in the United States, in certain jurisdictions Kodak may be unable to adequately prevent such unauthorized
uses, which could result in impairment of its trademark rights.
Kodak has made substantial investments in new, proprietary technologies and has filed patent applications and obtained patents to protect its intellectual
property rights in these technologies as well as the interests of its licensees. There can be no assurance Kodak’s patent applications will be approved, any
patents issued will be of sufficient scope or strength to provide it with meaningful protection, or such patents will not be challenged by third parties.
Furthermore, Kodak may fail to accurately predict all of the countries where patent protection will ultimately be desirable, and if it fails to timely file a patent
application in any such country, it may be precluded from doing so at a later date. The patents issuing may vary in scope of coverage depending on the
country in which such patents issue.
In addition, the intellectual property rights of others could inhibit Kodak’s ability to conduct its business. Other companies may hold patents on technologies
used in Kodak’s industries and some of these companies are aggressively seeking to expand, enforce or license their patent portfolios. Third parties may
claim Kodak and its customers, licensees or other parties indemnified by it are infringing upon their intellectual property rights. Such claims may be made by
competitors seeking to block or limit Kodak’s access to certain markets. Additionally, in recent years, individuals and groups have begun purchasing
intellectual property assets for the sole purpose of making claims of infringement and attempting to extract settlements from large companies like Kodak. Even
if it believes the claims are without merit, these claims may have the following negative impacts on its business:
•
•
•
•
claims can be time consuming and costly to defend and may distract management’s attention and resources;
claims of intellectual property infringement may require it to redesign affected products, enter into costly settlement
or license agreements or pay costly damage awards, or face a temporary or permanent injunction prohibiting it from
marketing or selling certain of its products;
even if it has an agreement with a third party to indemnify it against such costs, the indemnifying party may be
unable to uphold such party’s contractual obligations; and
if it cannot or does not license the infringed technology at all, license the technology on reasonable terms or
substitute similar technology from another source, its revenue and earnings could be adversely impacted.
Finally, Kodak uses open source software in connection with its products and services. Companies which incorporate open source software into their products
have, from time to time, faced claims challenging the ownership of open source software and/or compliance with open source license terms. As a result, Kodak
could be subject to suits by parties claiming ownership of what it believes to be open source software or noncompliance with open source licensing terms.
Some open source software licenses require users who distribute open source software as part of their software to publicly disclose all or part of the source
code to such software and/or make available any derivative works of the open source code on unfavorable terms or at no cost. Any requirement to disclose
Kodak’s source code or pay damages for breach of contract could be harmful to its business results of operations and financial condition.
Kodak’s future pension and other postretirement benefit plan costs and required level of contributions could be unfavorably impacted by changes
in actuarial assumptions, market performance of plan assets and obligations imposed by legislation or pension authorities which could adversely
affect its financial position, results of operations, and cash flow.

Kodak has significant defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit obligations. The funded status of its U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension
plans (and other postretirement benefit plans), and the related cost reflected in its financial statements, are affected by various factors subject to an inherent
degree of uncertainty. Key assumptions used to value these benefit obligations, funded status and expense recognition include the discount rate for future
payment obligations, the long term expected rate of return on plan assets, salary growth, healthcare cost trend rates, mortality trends, and other economic and
demographic factors. Significant differences in actual experience, or significant changes in future assumptions or obligations imposed by legislation or pension
authorities, could lead to a potential future need to contribute cash or assets to Kodak’s plans in excess of currently estimated contributions and benefit
payments and could have an adverse effect on Kodak’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
In past years, Kodak has experienced increases in the costs of these defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit obligations as a result of macro-
economic factors beyond its control, including increases in health care costs, declines in investment returns on pension plan assets, and changes in discount
rates and mortality rates used to calculate pension and related liabilities. At least some of these macro-economic factors may again put pressure on the cost of
providing pension and medical benefits. There can be no assurance it will succeed in limiting cost increases. In addition, continued upward pressure, including
any as a result of new legislation, could reduce the profitability of its businesses.
Kodak may be required to recognize impairments in the value of its goodwill and/or other long-lived assets which could adversely affect its results
of operations.
Upon emergence from bankruptcy, Kodak applied fresh start accounting pursuant to which the reorganization value was allocated to the individual assets and
liabilities based on their estimated fair values. The excess reorganization value over the fair value of identified tangible and intangible assets is reported as
goodwill. In connection with fresh start, Kodak also determined the fair value of its other long-lived assets, including intangible assets. The determination of
reorganization value, equity value of the Company’s common stock and fair value of assets and liabilities is dependent on various estimates and assumptions,
including financial projections and the realization of certain events. Kodak tests goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment annually or
whenever events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Kodak
evaluates other long-lived assets for impairments whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Impairments could occur in the future if Kodak’s expected future cash flows decline, market or interest rate environments deteriorate, or if carrying values
change materially compared with changes in their respective fair values.
Kodak’s businesses experience seasonality of sales. Therefore, lower demand for Kodak’s products or increases in costs during periods which are
expected to be at peak in seasonality may have a pronounced negative effect on its results of operations.
Equipment and consumables sales generally exhibit higher levels in the fourth quarter due to the seasonal nature of placements, resulting from customer or
industry budgeting practices. As a result, a sequential quarter-to-quarter comparison is not a good indication of Kodak’s performance or how it will perform in
the future. In addition, adverse developments during what are expected to be peak periods in seasonality, such as lower-than-anticipated demand for its
products, an internal systems failure, increases in materials costs, or failure of or performance problems with one of its key logistics, components supply, or
manufacturing partners, could have a material adverse impact on its financial condition and operating results. Tight credit markets which limit capital
investments or a weak economy which decreases print demand could negatively impact equipment or consumable sales. These external developments are
often unpredictable and may have an adverse impact on its business and results of operations.
If Kodak fails to manage distribution of its products and services properly, its revenue, gross margins and earnings could be adversely impacted.
Kodak uses a variety of different distribution methods to sell and deliver its products and services, including third-party resellers and distributors and direct and
indirect sales to both enterprise accounts and customers. Successfully managing the interaction of direct and indirect channels with various potential customer
segments for its products and services is a complex process. Moreover, since each distribution method has distinct risks and costs, Kodak’s failure to achieve
the most advantageous balance in the delivery model for its products and services could adversely affect its revenue, gross margins and earnings. This has
concentrated Kodak’s credit and operational risk and could result in an adverse impact on its financial performance.
Kodak’s future results could be harmed if it is unsuccessful in its sales in emerging markets.
Because Kodak is seeking to expand its sales and number of customer relationships outside the United States, including in emerging markets in Asia, Latin
America and Eastern Europe, Kodak’s business is subject to risks associated with doing business internationally, such as:
•
•
•
•
•
support of multiple languages;
recruitment of sales and technical support personnel with the skills to design, manufacture, sell and supply
products;
compliance with governmental regulation of imports and exports, including obtaining required import or export
approval for its products;
complexity of managing international operations;
exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;
16
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
commercial laws and business practices which may favor local competition and the imposition of tariffs on
products or raw materials imported into or exported from the U.S.;
multiple, potentially conflicting, and changing governmental laws, regulations and practices, including differing
export, import, tax, anti-corruption, anti-dumping, economic sanction, labor, and employment laws;
difficulties in collecting accounts receivable;
limitations or restrictions on the repatriation of cash;
limitations or reductions in protection of intellectual property rights;
complications in logistics and distribution arrangements; and
political or economic instability.
There can be no assurance Kodak will be able to market and sell its products in all of its targeted markets. If its efforts are not successful, its business growth
and results of operations could be harmed. As a global company, Kodak is subject to regulatory requirements and laws in the jurisdictions in which it operates,
and any alleged non-compliance with these requirements or laws could result in an adverse financial or reputational impact.
Kodak is subject to environmental laws and regulations and failure to comply with such laws and regulations or liabilities imposed as a result of
such laws and regulations could have an adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.
Kodak is subject to environmental laws and regulations world-wide that govern, for example, the discharge of pollutants, the management of hazardous
materials, the cleanup of contaminated sites, and the composition and end-of-life management of its products. Non-compliance with applicable laws or liability
incurred without regard to fault could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition. The cost of complying with
such laws could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, the Company, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the New York Empire State Development Corporation have
entered into a settlement agreement concerning certain of the Company’s historical environmental liabilities at Eastman Business Park or from discharges to
the Genesee River through the establishment of a $49 million environmental remediation trust. Should historical liabilities exceed $49 million, New York State
is responsible for payments of cost up to an additional $50 million. In the event the historical liabilities exceed $99 million, the Company will become liable for
50% of the portion above $99 million, which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition. The settlement agreement was implemented on
May 20, 2014. The settlement agreement includes a covenant not to sue from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Any uncertainties related to the
Company’s environmental obligations may impact its ability to further develop and transform Eastman Business Park.
Kodak may have additional tax liabilities.
Kodak is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and in many foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining Kodak’s worldwide provision for
income taxes. In the course of its business, there are transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. For example,
compliance with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“2017 Tax Act”) may continue to require the exercise of significant judgment in accounting for its provisions. Many
aspects of the 2017 Tax Act are unclear and may not be clarified for some time. As regulations and guidance evolve with respect to the 2017 Tax Act, and as
Kodak gathers more information and performs more analysis, Kodak’s results may differ from previous estimates and may materially affect our financial
position.
Kodak operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions worldwide and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may
require an extended period of time for resolution. Management’s ongoing assessments of the outcomes of these issues and related tax positions require
judgment, and although management believes that adequate provisions have been made for such issues, there is the possibility that the ultimate resolution of
such issues could have an adverse effect on the earnings and cash flow of Kodak.
Kodak’s business, financial position, results of operations, cash flows and reputation may be negatively impacted by legal matters.
Kodak has various contingencies which are not reflected on its balance sheet, including those arising as a result of being involved from time to time in a variety
of claims, lawsuits, investigations, remediations and proceedings concerning: commercial, tax, tort, customs, employment, health and safety and intellectual
property matters, licensee activities, and compliance with various domestic and international laws and regulations. Should developments in any of these
matters cause a change in its determination as to an unfavorable outcome and result in the need to recognize a material accrual or should any of these
matters result in a final adverse judgment or be settled for significant amounts, they could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position,
results of operations, and cash flows.
17
Regulations related to “conflict minerals” may require Kodak to incur additional expenses and could limit the supply and increase the cost of
certain metals used in manufacturing Kodak’s products.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act contains provisions to improve transparency and accountability concerning the supply of
minerals originating from the conflict zones of the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”) and adjoining countries. As a result, in August 2012, the SEC
adopted rules requiring disclosure related to sourcing of specified minerals, known as “conflict minerals,” which are necessary to the functionality or production
of products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by public companies. Kodak has designed its overall conflict minerals policies and procedures to
be consistent with the guidance issued by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) and continues to perform due diligence on
its supply chain. Kodak filed its most recent Conflict Minerals Disclosure report for the reporting period from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 on May
31, 2018. As of the date of the report, Kodak determined certain of its products contain such specified minerals but was unable to determine whether or not
such minerals originate from the DRC or an adjoining country. Kodak may incur additional costs to comply with these disclosure requirements, including costs
related to determining the sources of the specified minerals used in its products, in addition to the cost of any changes to products, processes, or sources of
supply as a consequence of such verification activities, which may adversely affect its business. In addition, the number of suppliers who provide “conflict-free”
minerals may be limited, which may make it difficult to satisfy customers who require all of the components of its products be certified as conflict-free, which
could place it at a competitive disadvantage if it is unable to do so. Because Kodak’s supply chain is complex, it may also not be able to sufficiently verify the
origins of the relevant minerals used in its products through its due diligence procedures, which may harm its reputation.
Risks Related to the Company’s Indebtedness and Access to Capital Markets
There can be no assurance the Company will be able to comply with the terms of its various credit facilities.
A breach of any of the financial or other covenants contained in the Senior Secured First Lien Term Credit Agreement (the “Term Credit Agreement”) or the
Asset Based Revolving Credit Agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement” and, together with the Term Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”) could result in
an event of default under these facilities. If any default or event of default occurs and the Company is not able to either cure it or obtain a waiver from the
requisite lenders under each of these facilities, the administrative agent of each credit facility may, and at the request of the requisite lenders for that facility
must, declare all of the Company’s outstanding obligations under the applicable credit facility, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due
and payable. In addition, the agent under the ABL Credit Agreement may, and at the request of the requisite lenders must, terminate the lenders’
commitments under that facility and cease making further loans. If applicable, each respective agent could institute foreclosure proceedings against the
pledged assets. Any of these outcomes would likely have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations and its ability to satisfy its obligations as they come
due.
The lenders under the Term Credit Agreement may take the position that the going concern explanatory paragraph contained in the audit report on Kodak’s
financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 does not satisfy the reporting covenant under the Term Credit Agreement. Under the
Term Credit Agreement, if notice of a failure to comply with the reporting covenant is given to Kodak by the lenders, an event of default would occur thereunder
if such failure is not cured within thirty days after such notice is given, unless such event of default is waived by the requisite lenders. On March 31, 2019
Kodak obtained a waiver from the agent and lenders under the ABL Credit Agreement with respect to any event of default under the reporting covenant in the
ABL Credit Agreement that may be deemed to occur in relation to the going concern explanatory paragraph in the audit report. Such waiver does not waive
any cross-default that may occur in the event of the occurrence of an event of default under the Term Credit Agreement, as described above. For more
information on the reporting covenants under the Credit Agreements and the potential impact of the explanatory paragraph in the audit report refer to Item 7.
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Sources of Liquidity.”
The combination of covenant requirements in the Term Credit Agreement and Kodak’s on-going investment in growth businesses, a decline in
Strategic Other Business or an accelerated decline in its Planned Declining Business or continuing softness and volatility of global economic
conditions and foreign currency exchange rates, could make it difficult for the Company to satisfy the leverage covenants under the Term Credit
Agreement on an on-going basis.
The Company is obligated to comply with a number of financial and other covenants contained in the Credit Agreements. Kodak intends to conduct its
operations in a manner which will result in continued compliance with the secured leverage ratio covenants under the Term Credit Agreement; however,
compliance for future quarters may depend on Kodak undertaking one or more non-operational transactions, such as a monetization of assets, a debt
refinancing, the raising of equity capital, or a similar transaction. If the Company is unable to remain in compliance and does not make alternate arrangements
with its term lenders, an event of default would occur under the Credit Agreements which, among other remedies, would entitle the lenders or their agents to
declare the outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreements to be immediately due and payable.
We may require additional capital funding and such capital may not be available to us and/or may be limited.
Because of Kodak’s current non-investment grade credit rating and financial condition, and/or general conditions in the financial and credit markets, its access
to the capital markets is limited. Moreover, the urgency of a capital-raising transaction may require it to pursue additional capital at an inopportune time or
unattractive cost. The loans made under the Term Credit Agreement become due on the earlier to occur of (i) the maturity date of September 3, 2019 or (ii) the
acceleration of such loans following the occurrence of an event of default (as defined in the Term Credit Agreement). The Company has issued approximately
$85 million and $96 million of letters of credit under the ABL Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
18
Should the Company not repay, refinance or extend the maturity of the loans under the existing Term Credit Agreement prior to June 5, 2019, the termination
date will occur under the ABL Credit Agreement on such date unless the ABL Credit Agreement has been previously amended. Upon the occurrence of the
termination date under the ABL Credit Agreement, the obligations thereunder will become due and the Company will need to provide alternate collateral in
place of the letters of credit issued under the ABL Credit Agreement.
Kodak’s ability to obtain capital and the costs of such capital are dependent on numerous factors, including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
covenants in the Credit Agreements;
obtaining a consent from the holders of Series A Preferred Stock for the issuance of additional preferred shares which
rank senior or pari passu to the Series A Preferred Stock;
investor confidence in Kodak and the markets in which it operates;
its financial performance and the financial performance of its subsidiaries;
its levels of debt and redemption obligations, including the mandatory redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock on
November 15, 2021;
its ability to complete the sale of its Flexographic Packaging Division;
its ability to consummate other asset sales or monetization transactions;
its ability to generate positive cash flow;
its requirements for posting collateral under various commercial agreements;
its credit ratings;
its cash flow;
its long-term business prospects; and
general economic and capital market conditions.
Kodak may not be successful in obtaining additional capital for these or other reasons. An inability to access capital is likely to limit its ability to meet its
operating needs and, as a result, may have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In particular, Kodak does
not have committed refinancing or the liquidity to meet the debt obligations under the Term Credit Agreement and ABL Credit Agreement if they were to
become due in accordance with their current terms, and there are no assurances Kodak will be able to amend, extend, refinance or repay the loans under the
Term Credit Agreement or, as necessary, its obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement before they become due. If Kodak is unable to amend, extend or
refinance the Term Credit Agreement or ABL Credit Agreement before they become due, its ability to continue as a going concern would likely be impaired.
The current non-investment grade status and Kodak’s financial condition may adversely impact Kodak’s commercial operations, increase its
liquidity requirements and increase the cost of refinancing opportunities. It may not have adequate liquidity to post required amounts of additional
collateral.
The Company’s corporate family credit rating is currently below investment grade and there are no assurances its credit ratings will improve, or they will not
decline, in the future. Its credit ratings and financial condition may affect the evaluation of its creditworthiness by trading counterparties and lenders, which
could put it at a disadvantage to competitors with higher or investment grade ratings.
In carrying out its commercial business strategy, the current non-investment grade credit ratings have resulted and will likely continue to result in requirements
that Kodak either prepay obligations or post significant amounts of collateral to support its business. Additionally, Kodak’s current non-investment grade credit
rating and financial condition may limit its ability to obtain additional sources of liquidity, refinance its debt obligations, including any mandatory redemption of
its Series A Preferred Stock, or access the capital markets at the lower borrowing costs which would presumably be available to competitors with a higher or
investment grade rating or stronger financial condition. Should its ratings continue at their current levels, or should its ratings be further downgraded, it would
expect these negative effects to continue and, in the case of a downgrade, become more pronounced. In particular, given the Company’s current credit ratings
it would be required, if requested, to provide up to $13 million of additional letters of credit to the issuers of certain surety bonds to fully collateralize such
bonds.
The availability of borrowings and letters of credit under the ABL Credit Agreement is limited by the amount of various types of assets and, under
certain circumstances, the administrative agent under the ABL Credit Agreement will have greater control over Kodak’s cash.
Availability under the Company’s ABL Credit Agreement is based on the amount of Eligible Receivables, Eligible Inventory, Eligible Machinery and Equipment
and Eligible Cash less specified reserves as described in Note 9, “Debt and Capital Leases” to the consolidated financial statements. Kodak’s U.S. Accounts
Receivable and Inventory levels have declined over the past four years, and Machinery and Equipment for purposes of the ABL Credit Agreement amortizes
down by $1 million per quarter. If Eligible Receivables, Eligible Inventory and Eligible Machinery and Equipment continue to decline and an asset base cannot
be maintained to support the $85 million of outstanding letters of credit and the $18.75 million of Excess Availability required under the ABL Credit Agreement,
the Company would be required to increase restricted cash deposited in the Eligible Cash account or remain in compliance with the ABL Credit Agreement’s
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and operate under cash dominion by the administrative agent under the ABL Credit Agreement. Additional cash deposited in
the Eligible Cash account would be classified as restricted cash, would not be available to support ongoing working capital and investment needs and could
not be used in determining the Net Secured Leverage Ratio under the Term Credit Agreement.
19
If the administrative agent under the ABL Credit Agreement executed cash dominion, it would increase operational complexities for the Company. An event of
default would occur under these circumstances if neither of these alternatives were achieved.
The Company’s substantial monetary obligations require a portion of its cash flow be used to pay interest, dividends and fund other obligations
rather than be invested in the business and could adversely affect its ability to fund its operations.
The Company’s indebtedness under the Credit Agreements and its other obligations including the potential mandatory redemption of the Series A Preferred
Stock could have important negative consequences to the Company and investors in its securities. These include the following:
•
•
•
•
it may not be able to satisfy all of its obligations, including, but not limited to, its obligations under the Credit
Agreements, which may cause a cross-default or cross-acceleration on other debt it may have incurred;
it could have difficulties obtaining necessary financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, debt
service requirements, mandatory redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock, refinancing or other purposes;
it will have to use a significant part of its cash flow or cash balances to make payments on its debt or Series A
Preferred Stock and to satisfy the other obligations set forth above, which may reduce the capital available for
operations and expansion; and
adverse economic or industry conditions may have more of a negative impact on it.
The Company cannot be sure cash generated from its business will be as high as it expects or its expenses will not be higher than it expects. Because a
portion of its expenses are fixed in any given year, its operating cash flow margins are highly dependent on revenues, which are largely driven by customer
demand. A lower amount of cash generated from its business or higher expenses than expected, when coupled with its debt obligations, could adversely affect
its ability to fund its operations.
Risks Related to the Company’s Common Stock
The conversion of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock may dilute the value for the current
holders of the Company’s common stock.
The 2,000,000 outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion
rate of 5.7471 shares of common stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock. As a result of the conversion of any issued and outstanding Series A Preferred
Stock, the Company’s existing shareholders will own a smaller percentage of its outstanding common stock. Based on the capitalization of the Company as of
March 1, 2018, the conversion of all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock would result in the issuance to holders thereof of approximately 21% of the
outstanding common stock after giving effect to such conversion. Further, additional shares of common stock may be issuable pursuant to certain other
features of the Series A Preferred Stock, with such issuances being further dilutive to existing holders of common stock.
If Series A Preferred Stock is converted into common stock, holders of such converted common stock will be entitled to the same dividend and distribution
rights as holders of the common stock currently authorized and outstanding. As such, another dilutive effect resulting from the conversion of any issued and
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be a dilution to dividends and distributions.
Holders of the Company’s common stock will not realize any dilution in their ownership, dividend or distribution rights solely as a result of the reservation of
any shares of common stock for issuance upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock or for issuance of additional shares of common stock pursuant to
certain other features of the Series A Preferred Stock, but will experience such dilution to the extent additional shares of common stock are issued in the future
as described above.
The holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock own a large portion of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities and have
the right to nominate two members to the Company’s Board. As a result, these holders may influence the composition of the Board and future
actions taken by the Board.
The holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote upon all matters upon which holders of the Company’s common stock have the
right to vote and are entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of full shares of common stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock
could be converted at the then applicable conversion rate. These holders currently hold approximately 30% of the voting power of the Company on an as-
converted basis. As a result, these holders may have the ability to influence future actions by the Company requiring shareholder approval. The Company and
these holders are parties to a Shareholder Agreement that contains certain restrictions on disposition or acquisition of Company securities and other actions by
these holders, some of which restrictions will expire on April 17, 2020.
Further, for as long as they hold any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the current holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to nominate for
election (collectively and not individually) at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders a number of directors to the board of directors of the Company
(the “Board”) commensurate with their ownership percentage of common stock on an as-converted basis. Two of the Company’s current Board members were
nominated by these current holders, who also have the right to fill vacancies on the Board created by one of their nominees ceasing to serve on the Board.
The nomination and other rights regarding the Board granted to the current holders of Series A Preferred Stock are not transferrable to any other person.
Also, whenever dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are in arrears for six or more dividend periods, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock (voting with
holders of all other classes of preferred stock of the Company whose voting rights are then exercisable) are entitled to vote for the election of two additional
20
directors at the Company’s next annual meeting and all subsequent meetings until all accumulated dividends on such Series A Preferred Stock and other
voting preferred stock have been paid or set aside (during which time the number of directors the current holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to
nominate under the Purchase Agreement will be reduced by two). As a result, the presence of directors on the Board nominated by the current holders of
Series A Preferred Stock or elected by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock would enable such current holders or the holders of Series A Preferred Stock to
influence the composition of the Board and, in turn, potentially influence and impact future actions taken by the Board. As of April 1, 2019, the Company is in
arrears for two dividend payments.
The Company has registered the resale of a large portion of its outstanding securities. The resale of the Company’s common stock, or the
perception that such resale may occur, may adversely affect the price of its common stock.
In compliance with two Registration Rights Agreements to which the Company is a party, it has registered the resale of an aggregate of 20,723,050 shares of
outstanding common stock, 2,000,000 shares of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, 11,494,200 shares of common stock, subject to anti-dilution
adjustments, issuable upon the conversion of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, and 863,804 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of
outstanding warrants. The resale of a substantial number of shares of common stock in the public market, or the perception that such resale might occur,
could cause the market price of the Company’s common stock to decline. Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreements to which the Company is
subject, the counterparties to such Registration Rights Agreements can, in certain circumstances, require the Company to participate in an underwritten public
offering of the registered securities. Any shares sold in a registered resale will be freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act. While the
Company cannot predict the size of future resales or distributions of its common stock, if there is a perception that such resales or distributions could occur, or
if the holders of the Company’s securities registered for resale sell a large number of the registered securities, the market price for the Company’s common
stock could be adversely affected.
The resale of a significant portion of the Company’s securities registered for resale could result in a change of control of the Company and the loss
of favorable tax attributes.
The Company has registered the resale of securities representing approximately 60% of its outstanding shares of common stock assuming the issuance of all
common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock or the exercise of the warrants corresponding to shares of common stock
registered for resale. Although the holders of the subject securities consist of several unaffiliated groups, these holders collectively have a controlling influence
over all matters presented to the Company’s shareholders for approval, including election of members to the Board and change of control transactions. In
addition, the holders of subject securities collectively would be able to cause a change of control of the Company by selling a sufficient portion of the
Company’s securities held by them. If such a transaction, in combination with other transactions including the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock or
future issuances of securities by the Company, were to result in an “ownership change” as determined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, then the Company’s ability to offset taxable income with tax attributes generated prior to the ownership change date could be limited,
possibly substantially. For more information on the Company’s tax attributes refer to Note 17, “Income Taxes”. The interests of the holders of the securities
registered for resale may not always coincide with the interests of the other holders of our common stock.
The Company’s stock price has been and may continue to be volatile.
The market price of the Company’s common stock has fluctuated substantially and may continue to fluctuate significantly. Future announcements or
disclosures concerning the Company, its strategic initiatives, its sales and profitability, and quarterly variations in actual or anticipated operating results or
comparable sales, any failure to meet analysts’ expectations and sales of large blocks of its common stock, among other factors, could cause the market price
of its common stock to fluctuate substantially.
The market price of the Company’s common stock may be affected by the volatility of blockchain and cryptocurrency markets.
The trading price of the Company’s common stock has been dramatically affected by the announcement of the license granted by Kodak to WENN Digital, Inc.
(“WENN”) to use Kodak’s brand in connection with WENN’s KODAKOne blockchain-based image rights management platform and Kodak-branded
cryptocurrency. Kodak may, in the future, have other involvement relating to blockchain technology or cryptocurrency, either directly or as a licensor. Kodak
cannot predict whether, or the extent to which, the trading price of the Company’s common stock will continue to be affected by blockchain or cryptocurrency
markets and any volatility in such markets.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Kodak’s Brazilian operations are involved in various litigation matters and have received or been the subject of numerous governmental assessments related
to indirect and other taxes in various stages of litigation, as well as civil litigation and disputes associated with former employees and contract labor. The tax
matters, which comprise the majority of the litigation matters, are primarily related to federal and state value-added taxes and income taxes. Kodak’s Brazilian
operations are disputing these matters and intend to vigorously defend their position. Kodak routinely assesses these matters as to the probability of ultimately
incurring a liability in its Brazilian operations and records its best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where it assesses the likelihood of loss as probable.
As of December 31, 2018, Kodak maintained accruals of approximately $4 million for claims aggregating approximately $158 million inclusive of interest and
penalties where appropriate. In connection with assessments and litigation in Brazil, local regulations may require Kodak to post security for a portion of the
amounts in dispute. Generally, any encumbrances of the Brazilian assets would be removed to the extent the matter is resolved in Kodak’s favor.
Kodak is involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations, remediations and proceedings, including, from time to time, commercial, customs, employment,
environmental, tort and health and safety matters, which are being handled and defended in the ordinary course of business. Kodak is also subject, from time
to time, to various assertions, claims, proceedings and requests for indemnification concerning intellectual property, including patent infringement suits
involving technologies that are incorporated in a broad spectrum of Kodak’s products and claims arising out of Kodak’s licensing its brand. These matters are
in various stages of investigation and litigation, and are being vigorously defended. Based on information currently available, Kodak does not believe that it is
probable that the outcomes in any of these matters, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of
operations. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and judgments could be rendered or settlements entered that could adversely affect Kodak’s operating results
or cash flows in a particular period. Kodak routinely assesses all of its litigation and threatened litigation as to the probability of ultimately incurring a liability,
and records its best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where it assesses the likelihood of loss as probable.

28
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Revenue Recognition
Kodak's revenue transactions include sales of products (such as components and consumables for use in Kodak, and other manufacturers’ equipment, and
film-based products), equipment, software, services, integrated solutions, and intellectual property and brand licensing. Complex arrangements with
nonstandard terms and conditions may require significant contract interpretation to determine the appropriate accounting, including the allocation of transaction
price to the various performance obligations and determination of the stand-alone selling price of each performance obligation. For equipment sales, revenue
recognition may depend on completion of installation based on the type of equipment, level of customer specific customization and other contractual terms. In
instances in which the agreement with the customer contains a customer acceptance clause, revenue is deferred until customer acceptance is obtained,
provided the customer acceptance clause is considered to be substantive.
At the time revenue is recognized, Kodak also records reductions to revenue for customer incentive programs. Such incentive programs include cash and
volume discounts and promotional allowances. For those incentives that require the estimation of sales volumes or redemption rates, such as for volume
rebates, Kodak uses historical experience and both internal and customer data to estimate the sales incentive at the time revenue is recognized. In the event
that the actual results of these items differ from the estimates, adjustments to the sales incentive accruals are recorded. Future market conditions and product
transitions may require Kodak to take actions to increase customer incentive offers, possibly resulting in an incremental reduction of revenue at the time the
incentive is offered.
Valuation and Useful Lives of Long-Lived Assets, Including Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Kodak performs a test for goodwill impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that would more likely than not reduce the
fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount.
Goodwill is tested for impairment at a level of reporting referred to as a reporting unit, which is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment
(a component) if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by segment management.
The Print Systems segment has two goodwill reporting units: Prepress Solutions and Electrophotographic Printing Solutions. The Software and Solutions
segment has two goodwill reporting units: Kodak Technology Solutions and Unified Workflow Solutions. The Consumer and Film segment has two goodwill
reporting units, Motion Picture, Industrial Chemicals and Films and Consumer Products. The Enterprise Inkjet Systems segment, Advanced Materials and 3D
Printing segment and Eastman Business Park segment all have one goodwill reporting unit. As of December 31, 2018, goodwill is recorded in the Unified
Workflow Solutions and Consumer Products reporting units. Goodwill is also recorded in the Flexographic Packaging business and is reported in Current
assets held for sale in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Kodak early adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill
Impairment effective January 1, 2017 which requires entities to calculate a goodwill impairment as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value
exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.
Determining the fair value of a reporting unit involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Kodak estimates the fair value of its reporting units
using the guideline public company method and discounted cash flow method. To estimate fair value utilizing the guideline public company method, Kodak
applies valuation multiples, derived from the operating data of publicly-traded benchmark companies, to the same operating data of the reporting units. The
valuation multiples are based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). To estimate fair value utilizing the discounted cash
flow method, Kodak establishes an estimate of future cash flows for each reporting unit and discounts those estimated future cash flows to present value.
Kodak performed a quantitative test of impairment for all reporting units for its annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2018. Kodak utilized the
discounted cash flow method and guideline public company method to estimate the fair value of reporting units with goodwill. For these reporting units, Kodak
selected equal weighting of the guideline public company method and the discounted cash flow method as the valuation approaches produced comparable
ranges of fair value. Fair values for the other reporting units were estimated using the discounted cash flow method only.
To estimate fair value utilizing the discounted cash flow method, Kodak established an estimate of future cash flows for the period ranging from January 1,
2019 to December 31, 2023 and discounted the estimated future cash flows to present value. The expected cash flows were derived from earnings forecasts
and assumptions regarding growth and margin projections, as applicable. The discount rates are estimated based on an after-tax weighted average cost of
capital (“WACC”) for each reporting unit reflecting the rate of return that would be expected by a market participant. The WACC also takes into consideration a
company specific risk premium for each reporting unit reflecting the risk associated with the overall uncertainty of the financial projections. Discount rates of
13% to 55% were utilized in the valuation based on Kodak’s best estimates of the after-tax weighted-average cost of capital of each reporting unit.
A terminal value was included for all reporting units at the end of the cash flow projection period to reflect the remaining value that the reporting unit is
expected to generate. The terminal value was calculated using either the constant growth method (“CGM”) based on the cash flows of the final year of the
discrete period or the H-model, which assumes the growth during the terminal period starts at a higher rate and declines in a linear manner over a specified
transition period toward a stable growth rate.
Based upon the results of Kodak’s December 31, 2018 analysis, Kodak concluded that the fair value of the reporting units substantially exceeded their carrying
values, therefore no impairment of goodwill was indicated. Impairment of goodwill could occur in the future if a reporting unit’s fair value changes significantly,
29
if Kodak’s market capitalization significantly declines, if a reporting unit’s carrying value changes materially compared with changes in its fair values, or as a
result of changes in operating segments or reporting units.
The carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset related to the Kodak trade name is evaluated for potential impairment annually or whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired.
Kodak performed its annual test of impairment for the Kodak trade name as of December 31, 2018. The fair value of the Kodak trade name was valued using
the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty method based on the following significant assumptions: (a) forecasted revenues ranging from January
1, 2019 to December 31, 2023, including a terminal year with growth rates ranging from -2% to 2.5%; (b) after-tax royalty rates ranging from .4% to .8% of
expected net sales determined with regard to comparable market transactions and profitability analysis; and (c) discount rates ranging from 17% to 32%, which
were based on the after-tax weighted-average cost of capital
Based on the results of Kodak’s December 31, 2018 assessment, the carrying value of the Kodak trade name exceeded its fair value and Kodak recorded a
pre-tax impairment charge of $13 million. Impairment of the Kodak trade name could occur in the future if expected revenues decline or if there are significant
changes in the discount rates or royalty rates.
Long-lived assets other than goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. When evaluating long-lived assets for impairment, the carrying value of an asset group is compared to its
estimated undiscounted future cash flows. An impairment is indicated if the estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset
group. The impairment is the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the long-lived asset group.
The value of property, plant, and equipment is depreciated over its expected useful life in such a way as to allocate it as equitably as possible to the periods
during which services are obtained from their use, which aims to distribute the value over the remaining estimated useful life of the unit in a systematic and
rational manner. An estimate of useful life not only considers the economic life of the asset, but also the remaining life of the asset to the entity. Impairment of
long-lived assets other than goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets could occur in the future if expected future cash flows decline or if there are
significant changes in the estimated useful life of the assets.
Series A Preferred Stock Embedded Conversion Features Derivative
On November 15, 2016, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of 5.50% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value per share (the “Series A
Preferred Stock”). The Company concluded that the Series A Preferred Stock is considered more akin to a debt-type instrument and that the economic
characteristics and risks of the embedded conversion features, except where the conversion price is increased to the liquidation preference, were not
considered clearly and closely related to the Series A Preferred Stock. Accordingly, these embedded conversion features were bifurcated from the Series A
Preferred Stock and separately accounted for on a combined basis at fair value as a single derivative. The Company allocated $43 million of the net proceeds
received to the derivative liability based on the aggregate fair value of the embedded conversion features on the date of issuance which reduced the original
carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock. The derivative is being accounted for at fair value with subsequent changes in the fair value being reported as
part of Other (income) charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The fair value of the derivative as of both December 31, 2018 and 2017 was
an asset of $4 million and is included within Other long-term assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
The fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock embedded conversion features derivative is calculated using a binomial lattice model. The following table
presents the key inputs in the determination of fair value at December 31, 2018 and 2017:

The Fundamental Change and Reorganization Conversion value at issuance was calculated as the difference between the total value of the Series A
Preferred Stock and the sum of the net present value of the cash flows if the Series A Preferred Stock is redeemed on its fifth anniversary and the values of
the other embedded derivatives. The Fundamental Change and Reorganization Conversion value reduces the value of the embedded conversion features
derivative liability. The Fundamental Change and Reorganization Conversion value exceeded the value of the embedded conversion features derivative
liability at December 31, 2018 and 2017 resulting in the derivative being reported as an asset.
Taxes
Kodak recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of operating losses, credit carry-forwards and temporary
differences between the carrying amounts and tax basis of Kodak’s assets and liabilities. Kodak records a valuation allowance to reduce its net deferred tax
30
assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Kodak has considered forecasted earnings, future taxable income, the geographical mix of
earnings in the jurisdictions in which Kodak operates and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in determining the need for these valuation
allowances. As of December 31, 2018, Kodak has net deferred tax assets before valuation allowances of approximately $999 million and a valuation
allowance related to those net deferred tax assets of approximately $853 million, resulting in net deferred tax assets of approximately $146 million. The net
deferred tax assets can be used to offset taxable income in future periods and reduce Kodak’s income tax payable in those future periods. At this time, it is
considered more likely than not that taxable income in the future will be sufficient to allow realization of these net deferred tax assets. However, if Kodak is
unable to generate sufficient taxable income, then a valuation allowance to reduce net deferred tax assets may be required, which could materially increase
expenses in the period the valuation allowance is recognized. Conversely, if Kodak were to make a determination that it is more likely than not that deferred
tax assets, for which there is currently a valuation allowance, would be realized, the related valuation allowance would be reduced and a benefit to earnings
would be recorded. Kodak considers both positive and negative evidence, in determining whether a valuation allowance is needed by territory, including, but
not limited to, whether particular entities are in three-year cumulative income positions. During 2018 and 2017, Kodak determined that it was more likely than
not that a portion of the deferred tax assets outside the U.S. would be realized as a result of increased profits in locations outside the U.S. and accordingly
recorded a benefit of $4 million and $101 million, respectively, associated with the release of a valuation allowance on those deferred tax assets. Additionally,
during 2018, Kodak determined that it was more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets outside the U.S. would not be realized due to reduced
sales volumes in a location outside the U.S. and accordingly recorded a provision of $15 million associated with the establishment of a valuation allowance on
those deferred tax assets. During 2017, Kodak determined that it was more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets outside the U.S. would not
be realized due to reduced manufacturing volumes negatively impacting profitability in a location outside the U.S. and accordingly, recorded a provision of $7
million associated with the establishment of a valuation allowance on those deferred tax assets.
Kodak may be able to make the determination that the realization of deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions are more likely than not in the future.
Kodak will continue to evaluate whether valuation allowances are needed, at a jurisdictional level, in future reporting periods. It is possible that sufficient
positive evidence, including sustained profitability, may become available in future periods with respect to one or more jurisdictions to reach a conclusion that
all or part of the valuation allowance with respect to such jurisdictions could be reversed.
Utilization of post-emergence net operating losses (“NOL”) and tax credits may be subject to limitations in the event of significant changes in stock ownership
of the Company in the future. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes annual limitations on the utilization of NOL
carryforwards, other tax carryforwards, and certain built-in losses as defined under that Section, upon an ownership change. In general terms, an ownership
change may result from transactions that increase the aggregate ownership of five percent stockholders in Kodak’s stock by more than 50 percentage points
over a three-year testing period. The Company has a relatively high concentration of five percent stockholders. There have been reported transactions within
the testing period that, combined with future transactions, could aggregate an ownership change during the testing period in excess of 50 percentage points.
A Section 382 ownership change would significantly impair Kodak’s ability to utilize NOLs and tax credits in the U.S. As of December 31, 2018, Kodak had
available U.S. NOL carry-forwards for income tax purposes of approximately $804 million and unused foreign tax credits of $357 million. Any impairment of
these tax attributes would be fully offset by a corresponding decrease in Kodak’s U.S. valuation allowance, which would result in no net tax provision.
On December 22, 2017, the 2017 Tax Act was signed into law. The legislation significantly changed U.S. tax law by, among other things, lowering corporate
income tax rates, implementing a territorial tax system and imposing a repatriation tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Additionally, the
SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant did not have the
necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects
of the 2017 Tax Act. Kodak recognized provisional tax impacts related to the one-time transition tax on mandatory deemed repatriation of cumulative foreign
earnings and the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. December
22, 2018 marked the end of the measurement period for purposes of SAB 118. Kodak completed its analysis based on legislative updates relating to the 2017
Tax Act available by the end of 2018 resulting in adjustments which were fully offset by Kodak’s U.S. valuation allowance, resulting in no net tax provision or
benefit.
Kodak has deferred tax liabilities of $22 million and $20 million for potential taxes on undistributed earnings, including foreign withholding taxes, as of
December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
In general, the amount of tax expense or benefit from continuing operations is determined without regard to the tax effects of other categories of income or
loss, such as Other comprehensive (loss) income. However, an exception to this rule applies when there is a loss from continuing operations and income from
items outside of continuing operations that must be considered. This exception requires that income from discontinued operations, extraordinary items, and
items charged or credited directly to other comprehensive income be considered in determining the amount of tax benefit that results from a loss in continuing
operations. This exception affects the allocation of the tax provision amongst categories of income.
Kodak operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions worldwide and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may
require an extended period of time for resolution. Management’s ongoing assessments of the outcomes of these issues and related tax positions require
judgment, and although management believes that adequate provisions have been made for such issues, there is the possibility that the ultimate resolution of
such issues could have an adverse effect on the earnings of Kodak. Conversely, if these issues are resolved favorably in the future, the related provisions
would be reduced, thus having a positive impact on earnings.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
31
Kodak’s defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit costs and obligations are estimated using several key assumptions. These assumptions,
which are reviewed at least annually by Kodak, include the discount rate, long-term expected rate of return on plan assets (“EROA”), salary growth, healthcare
cost trend rate, mortality trends and other economic and demographic factors. Actual results that differ from Kodak’s assumptions are recorded as
unrecognized gains and losses and are amortized to earnings over the estimated future service period of the active participants in the plan or, if the plan is
almost entirely inactive, the average remaining lifetime expectancy of inactive participants, to the extent such total net unrecognized gains and losses exceed
10% of the greater of the plan's projected benefit obligation or the calculated value of plan assets. Significant differences in actual experience or significant
changes in future assumptions would affect Kodak’s pension and other postretirement benefit costs and obligations.
Asset and liability modeling studies are utilized by Kodak to adjust asset exposures and review a liability hedging program through the use of forward-looking
correlation, risk and return estimates. Those forward-looking estimates of correlation, risk and return generated from the modeling studies are also used to
estimate the EROA. The EROA is estimated utilizing a forward-looking building block model factoring in the expected risk of each asset category, return and
correlation over a five to seven-year horizon, and weighting the exposures by the current asset allocation. Historical inputs are utilized in the forecasting model
to frame the current market environment with adjustments made based on the forward-looking view. Kodak aggregates investments into major asset
categories based on the underlying benchmark of the strategy. Kodak’s asset categories include broadly diversified exposure to U.S. and non-U.S. equities,
U.S. and non-U.S. government and corporate bonds, inflation-linked bonds, commodities and absolute return strategies. Each allocation to these major asset
categories is determined within the overall asset allocation to accomplish unique objectives, including enhancing portfolio return, providing portfolio
diversification, or hedging plan liabilities.
The EROA, once set, is applied to the calculated value of plan assets in the determination of the expected return component of Kodak’s pension
expense. Kodak uses a calculated value of plan assets, which recognizes gains and losses in the fair value of assets over a four-year period, to calculate
expected return on assets. At December 31, 2018, both the calculated value and the fair value of the assets of Kodak’s major U.S. and non-U.S. defined
benefit pension plans were approximately $4.1 billion. Asset gains and losses that are not yet reflected in the calculated value of plan assets are not included
in amortization of unrecognized gains and losses.
Kodak reviews its EROA assumption annually. To facilitate this review, every three years, or when market conditions change materially, Kodak’s larger plans
will undertake asset allocation or asset and liability modeling studies. The weighted average EROA used to determine the 2018 net pension expense for major
U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans were 6.40% and 3.98%, respectively.
Generally, Kodak bases the discount rate assumption for its significant plans on high quality corporate bond yields in the respective countries as of the
measurement date. Specifically, for its U.S., Canadian, Euro-zone and UK plans, Kodak determines a discount rate using a cash flow model to incorporate the
expected timing of benefit payments and an AA-rated corporate bond yield curve. For Kodak's U.S. plans, the Citigroup Above Median Pension Discount
Curve is used. For Kodak’s other non-U.S. plans, discount rates are determined by comparison to published local high quality bond yields or indices
considering estimated plan duration and removing any outlying bonds, as warranted.
Kodak uses the spot yield curve approach to estimate the service and interest costs by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used to determine
the benefit obligations to relevant projected cash outflows.
The salary growth assumptions are determined based on Kodak’s long-term actual experience and future and near-term outlook. The healthcare cost trend
rate assumptions are based on historical cost and payment data, the near-term outlook and an assessment of the likely long-term trends.
The following table illustrates the sensitivity to a change to certain key assumptions used in the calculation of expense for the year ending December 31, 2019
and the projected benefit obligation (“PBO”) at December 31, 2018 for Kodak's major U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans:

Total pension income from continuing operations before special termination benefits, curtailments and settlements for the major defined benefit pension plan in
the U.S. was $103 million for 2018 and is expected to be approximately $88 million in 2019. Pension income from continuing operations before special
termination benefits, curtailments and settlements for the major non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans was $6 million for 2018 and is projected to be
approximately $2 million in 2019. The reductions in income are driven primarily by higher expected 2019 interest expense for the U.S. plan and lower
expected 2019 asset gains due to reduced asset balances for both the U.S. and non-U.S. plans.
32
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Carrying values of excess and obsolete inventories are reduced to net realizable value. Judgment is required
to assess the ultimate demand for and realizable value of inventory. The analysis of inventory carrying values considers several factors including length of time
inventory is on hand, historical sales, product shelf life, product life cycle, product category, and product obsolescence.
Accounts Receivable Reserves
Accounts receivable reserves are based on historical collections experience as well as reserves for specific receivables deemed to be at risk for collection.
The collectability of customer receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis considering past due invoices and the current creditworthiness of each customer.
Judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realization of accounts receivables.
New Accounting Pronouncements
A description of new accounting pronouncements is contained in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”.
OVERVIEW
Revenue declined $61 million (4.4%) from 2017 to 2018. Currency impacted revenue favorably in 2018 compared to 2017 ($19 million).
Kodak’s strategy is to:
•
•
•
•
•
Focus product investment in growth engines - Sonora, Ultrastream, Advanced Materials and 3D Printing and Software and Services;
Maintain market leadership position and cash flows associated with Prepress Solutions;
Manage the expected decline in and maximize cash generated by mature businesses;
Continue to streamline processes to drive cost reductions and improve operating leverage; and
Continue to explore opportunities to monetize the asset base.
A discussion of opportunities and challenges related to Kodak’s strategy follows:
•
•
•
•
The Company has $395 million of outstanding indebtedness under the Term Credit Agreement. The loans made under the Term Credit
Agreement become due on the earlier of (i) the maturity date of September 3, 2019 or (ii) the acceleration of such loans following the occurrence
of an event of default (as defined in the Term Credit Agreement). Kodak does not have committed refinancing or the liquidity to meet the debt
obligation as it becomes due. Kodak is working to both reduce the overall debt balance by using proceeds from asset sales, including the sale of
its Flexographic Packaging segment, to pay down debt and to renew or replace the Term Credit Agreement.
Print Systems’ digital plate products include traditional digital plates and KODAK SONORA Process Free Plates. SONORA process free plates
allow Kodak customers to skip the plate processing step prior to mounting plates on a printing press. This improvement in the printing process
saves time and costs for customers. Also, SONORA process free plates reduce the environmental impact of the printing process because they
eliminate the use of chemicals (including solvents), water and power that is otherwise required to process a traditional plate. While traditional
digital plate offerings are experiencing pricing pressure, innovations in Kodak product lines which command premium prices, such as SONORA
Process Free Plates, are expected to offset some of the long-term price erosion in the market and manufacturing efficiencies are expected to
mitigate the impact on earnings from revenue declines. Print Systems’ revenues, which accounted for 68% of Kodak’s total revenues in 2018,
declined $47 million (5%) in 2018 including the favorable impact of currency ($14 million). Segment earnings declined $22 million from 2017 to
2018 including the unfavorable impact of currency ($5 million), driven by competitive pricing pressures, lower volumes and higher aluminum
costs partially offset by manufacturing efficiencies and cost reductions. Prices for aluminum have risen over the past year, in part due to strong
global demand and more recently due to the imposition of U.S. tariffs. Kodak seeks to mitigate the impact of high aluminum prices and
competitive selling environment through a combination of price increases, commodity contracts, improved production efficiency and cost
reduction initiatives. In January 2019, Kodak received exemptions on U.S. tariffs for aluminum.
In Enterprise Inkjet Systems, the legacy Versamark business is expected to continue to decline as a percentage of the segment’s total revenue
as the Prosper business continues to grow. The Prosper Inkjet Systems business is expected to continue to build profitability. Investment in the
next generation technology, Ultrastream, is focused on the ability to place Ultrastream writing systems in original equipment manufacturers and
hybrid applications. Enterprise Inkjet Systems’ revenue declined $8 million in 2018. Segment earnings improved $1 million from 2017 to 2018
driven by cost controls.
The Software and Solutions segment is comprised of Unified Workflow Solutions and Kodak Technology Solutions which includes enterprise
services and solutions. Unified Workflow Solutions is an established product line whereas Kodak Technology Solutions includes Kodak Services
for Business and Kodakit. The contributions these business initiatives make to earnings are expected to grow with a modest amount of additional
33
investment. Software and Solutions’ revenue declined $1 million (1%) in 2018, primarily reflecting volume declines in Unified Workflow Solutions.
Sales in Kodak Technology Solutions are project based and can vary from year to year depending on the nature and number of projects in
existence in a given year.
Consumer and Film’s revenue declined $9 million (5%) from 2017 to 2018. Earnings of the Consumer and Film segment declined $1 million (6%)
from 2017 to 2018. China tariffs on U.S. made film are increasing material costs in China for printed circuit board film. Prolonged trade disputes
with increasing tariffs could have incremental negative impacts on material costs. Kodak plans to continue to promote the use of film to utilize as
much film manufacturing capacity as possible.
Film and related component manufacturing operations and Kodak Research Laboratories utilize capacity at Eastman Business Park (“EBP”),
which helps cost absorption at EBP.
Kodak plans to capitalize on its intellectual property through new business or licensing opportunities, focusing on opportunities in smart material
applications and printed electronics markets and also pursuing limited opportunities in 3D printing materials.
Kodak plans to continue to pursue monetization of its asset base, selling and licensing intellectual property and selling and leasing excess
capacity in its properties.

(2) Consists of third-party costs such as security, maintenance, and utilities required to maintain land and buildings in certain locations not used in any Kodak
operations.
(3) As reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Kodak reduced workers’ compensation reserves by approximately $5 million in 2018 due to changes in discount rates and reduction in estimated ultimate
losses. The reduction in reserves impacted gross profit by approximately $3 million and SG&A by approximately $2 million.
2019 Segments
Change in Segments
Effective in January 2019 Kodak changed its organizational structure. Kodak Technology Solutions, formerly part of the Software and Solutions segment, was
moved into the Consumer and Film segment. The Consumer and Film segment was renamed the Brand, Film & Imaging segment. The Unified Workflow
Solutions business, formerly part of the Software and Solutions segment, will operate as a dedicated segment named Kodak Software segment.
Change in Segment Measure of Profitability
During the first quarter of 2019 the segment measure was changed to exclude the costs, net of any rental income received, of underutilized portions of certain
properties. Additionally, the allocation of costs from EBP to the Consumer and Film segment and Advanced Materials and 3D Printing Technology segment as
tenants of EBP and to each of the segments as users of shared corporate space at the global headquarters is changing.

Revenues
For the year ended December 31, 2018, revenues decreased by approximately $61 million compared with the same period in 2017. Volume and pricing
declines within Print Systems ($60 million) and Enterprise and Inkjet Systems ($10 million) and volume declines in Consumer and Film ($11 million) were
offset by favorable foreign currency ($19 million). See segment discussions for additional details.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for 2018 decreased by approximately $30 million. The decrease reflected volume and pricing declines within Print Systems ($14 million) and
Enterprise Inkjet Systems ($10 million), and higher aluminum costs within Print Systems ($23 million), partially offset by reduced inventory write-offs due to
restructuring ($7 million), favorable costs (excluding the impact of aluminum costs) in Print Systems ($8 million) and higher volumes and lower costs in
Advanced Materials and 3D Printing Technology ($7 million). See segment discussions for additional details.
35
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Consolidated SG&A for 2018 decreased $14 million primarily due to lower investment in selling and marketing activities ($15 million), driven by a lower
investment in Print Systems, Enterprise Inkjet Systems and Consumer and Film ($16 million), a reduction in workers’ compensation reserves ($2 million), lower
stock compensation expense and foreign currency (each $3 million) partially offset by higher costs associated with strategic initiatives such as asset sales and
debt restructuring ($9 million).
Research and Development Costs
Consolidated R&D expenses decreased $16 million in 2018 primarily due to lower investment in Advanced Materials and 3D Printing Technology ($10 million)
as well as lower investment in segment R&D activities driven by a lower investment in Print Systems and Enterprise Inkjet Systems ($5 million).
Restructuring Costs and Other

sales of ink to the existing installed base of printers, lower brand licensing revenue ($3 million) driven by the modification of a brand licensing agreement in the
prior year offset by higher volume in Industrial Film and Chemicals ($2 million) primarily due to timing of customer orders and the favorable impact of currency
($2 million).
Operational EBITDA
The decrease in Consumer and Film Operational EBITDA of approximately $1 million reflected declines in Consumer Inkjet Systems ($6 million) primarily
driven by lower volumes due to declining sales of ink to the existing installed base of printers, lower brand licensing revenue as described above ($3 million),
unfavorable volume and product mix ($2 million) and the impact of China tariffs ($1 million) in Industrial Film and Chemicals. Offsetting the unfavorable
impacts were costs improvements in Motion Picture ($4 million) (the prior year period had higher costs associated with a vendor transition), reduced SG&A
costs ($5 million) and the favorable impact of currency ($2 million).

Eastman Business Park revenue and Operational EBITDA did not change significantly in the reporting periods.
RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER
2018
Restructuring actions taken in 2018 were initiated to reduce Kodak’s cost structure as part of its commitment to drive sustainable profitability and included cost
rationalization in France, consolidation of R&D sites in Israel, EPS manufacturing cost reductions in Germany, and various targeted reductions in
manufacturing, service, sales, research and development, and other administrative functions.
As a result of these actions, for the year ended December 31, 2018 Kodak recorded $17 million of charges which were reported as Restructuring costs and
other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Kodak made cash payments related to restructuring of approximately $14 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.
The restructuring actions implemented in 2018 are expected to generate future annual cash savings of approximately $26 million. These savings are expected
to reduce future annual Cost of revenues, SG&A and R&D expenses by $8 million, $11 million and $7 million, respectively. Kodak expects the majority of the
annual savings to be in effect by the end of the second quarter of 2019 as actions are completed.
2017
For the year ended December 31, 2017 Kodak recorded $38 million of charges, including $7 million of charges for inventory write-downs which were reported
in Cost of revenues and $31 million which was reported as Restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Kodak has debt due in 2019 and is facing liquidity challenges due to negative cash flow. Based on forecasted cash flows, there are uncertainties regarding
Kodak’s ability to meet commitments in the U.S. as they come due. Kodak’s plans to improve cash flow include reducing interest expense by decreasing the
debt balance using proceeds from asset sales, including the sale of the Flexographic Packaging segment; further restructuring Kodak’s cost structure; and
paring investment in new technology by eliminating, slowing, and partnering with investors in product development programs. The divestiture of the
Flexographic Packaging segment will negatively impact segment earnings and cash flow. Kodak is also exploring options regarding additional liquidity from
other sources.
38
The sale of the Flexographic Packaging segment and/or refinancing of the loans under the Term Credit Agreement (as defined below) are not solely within
Kodak’s control. Executing agreements for the sale or a refinancing of the loans under the Term Credit Agreement and the timing for a closing of the sale or a
refinancing of the loans under the Term Credit Agreement are dependent upon several external factors outside Kodak’s control, including but not limited to, the
ability of the Company to reach acceptable agreements with different counterparties and the time required to meet conditions to closing under a sale
agreement or credit facility.
Kodak makes no assurances regarding the likelihood, certainty or timing of consummating any asset sales, including of the Flexographic Packaging segment,
or refinancing of the Company’s existing debt, or regarding the sufficiency of any such actions to meet Kodak’s debt obligations, including compliance with
debt covenants, or other commitments in the U.S. as they come due.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about Kodak’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Refer to the Going Concern section of Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”,; Note 9, "Debt and Capital Leases," and Note 10, “Redeemable,
Convertible Series A Preferred Stock” in the Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion of long-term debt and convertible preferred shares.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities improved $5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared with the prior year primarily due to improved
cash earnings partially offset by less favorable accounts payable terms.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities improved $2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the prior year due to a lower level of capital
improvements.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities improved $18 million in the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the prior year primarily due to a lower level of
debt repayment and the timing of the payment for contingent consideration related to the sale of a business.
Sources of Liquidity
Available liquidity includes cash balances and the unused portion of the ABL Credit Agreement. The amount of available liquidity is subject to fluctuations and
includes cash balances held by various entities worldwide. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, approximately $117 million and $172 million, respectively, of
cash and cash equivalents were held within the U.S. and approximately $131 million and $172 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents were held
outside the U.S. Cash balances held outside of the U.S. are generally required to support local country operations, may have high tax costs or other
limitations that delay the ability to repatriate, and therefore may not be readily available for transfer to other jurisdictions. Kodak utilizes cash balances outside
the U.S. to fund needs in the U.S. through the use of intercompany loans. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017 outstanding intercompany loans to the U.S.
were $390 million and $358 million, respectively, which includes short-term intercompany loans of $92 million and $59 million. In China, where approximately
$72 million and $108 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents were held as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, there are limitations related to net
asset balances that impact the ability to make cash available to other jurisdictions in the world. Under the terms of the Credit Agreements, the Company is
permitted to invest up to $100 million at any time in subsidiaries and joint ventures that are not party to the loan agreement.
39
Under the ABL Credit Agreement, if Excess Availability ($19 million as of December 31, 2018) falls below 12.5% of lender commitments ($18.75 million as of
December 31, 2018), Kodak may, in addition to the requirement to be in compliance with a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, become subject to cash
dominion control. Kodak intends to continue to maintain Excess Availability above the minimum threshold which may require additional funding of Eligible
Cash. In addition to Eligible Cash, the borrowing base is supported by Eligible Receivables, Eligible Inventory and Eligible Equipment. To the extent the
assets supporting the borrowing base decline, if the remaining assets included in the borrowing base are not sufficient to support the required Excess
Availability amount, additional funding of Eligible Cash may be required. Since Excess Availability was greater than 12.5% of lender commitments Kodak is
not required to have a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2018 EBITDA exceeded fixed charges (as defined in the ABL
Credit Agreement) by approximately $5 million.
Kodak funded $3 million and $6 million to the Eligible Cash account held with the ABL Credit Agreement Administrative Agent as of December 31, 2018 and
2017, which is classified as Restricted cash in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, supporting the Excess Availability amount.
During the second quarter of 2017, the Company reduced the amount of outstanding letters of credit issued under the ABL Credit Agreement by $20 million,
which increased the amount of Excess Availability by a corresponding amount, enabling the Company to release Eligible Cash. The reduction of outstanding
letters of credit was primarily attributable to the substitution of partially collateralized surety bonds in place of outstanding letters of credit. As a result of the
Company’s current credit ratings, the Company was required to provide $6 million in letters of credit to the issuers of the surety bonds during the third quarter
of 2018. The Company could be required to provide up to an additional $13 million of letters of credit to the issuers of the surety bonds in the future to fully
collateralize the bonds.
Under the terms of the Term Credit Agreement, Kodak is required to maintain a Secured Leverage Ratio not to exceed specified levels. The Secured
Leverage Ratio is tested at the end of each quarter based on the prior four quarters and is generally determined by dividing secured debt, net of U.S. cash and
cash equivalents, by consolidated EBITDA, as calculated under the Term Credit Agreement. The maximum Secured Leverage Ratio permitted under the
Term Credit Agreement is 2.75 to 1. As of December 31, 2018, Kodak’s EBITDA, as calculated under the Term Credit Agreement, exceeded the EBITDA
necessary to satisfy the covenant ratio by approximately $20 million.
Under the terms of the Credit Agreements, the Company may designate Restricted Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries provided the aggregate sales of
all Unrestricted Subsidiaries are less than 7.5% of the consolidated sales of Kodak and the aggregate assets of all Unrestricted Subsidiaries are less than
7.5% of Kodak’s consolidated assets. Further, under the ABL Credit Agreement, on a pro forma basis at the time of designation and immediately after giving
effect thereto, Excess Availability must be at least $30 million, and the pro forma Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio must be no less than 1.0 to 1.0. Upon
designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries, the Company will be required to provide to the Lenders reconciling statements to eliminate all financial information
pertaining to Unrestricted Subsidiaries which is included in its annual and quarterly financial statements.
In March 2018, the Company designated five subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, Kodak PE Tech, LLC, Kodak LB Tech, LLC, Kodak Realty, Inc.,
Kodakit Singapore Pte. Limited and KP Services (Jersey) Ltd. This action allowed the Company to better position assets which may be monetized in the future
and address costs related to underutilized properties. Collectively, these subsidiaries had sales of approximately $12 million for the year ended December 31,
2018, which represents 1% of Kodak’s consolidated sales. Collectively, these subsidiaries had assets of $21 million as of December 31, 2018, which
represents 1% of Kodak’s consolidated assets as of December 31, 2018.
The designation of these subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries increased the amount by which the Company’s EBITDA, as calculated under the Term
Credit Agreement and the ABL Credit Agreement, exceeded the amount of EBITDA needed to satisfy the Net Secured Leverage Ratio covenant of 2.75 to 1.0
by $21 million and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 by $22 million as of December 31, 2018. Each of the capitalized but undefined terms has the
meaning ascribed to such term in the Credit Agreements.
Kodak intends to conduct its operations in a manner that will result in continued compliance with the secured leverage ratio covenant; however, future
compliance may depend on Kodak undertaking one or more non-operational transactions, such as the repatriation of cash into the U.S., the management of
operating cash outflows, the designation of subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, a monetization of assets, a debt refinancing, the raising of equity capital,
or a similar transaction. If Kodak is unable to remain in compliance and does not make alternate arrangements with its term lenders, an event of default would
occur under Kodak’s credit agreements which, among other remedies, would entitle the lenders or their agents to declare the outstanding obligations under the
Credit Agreements to be immediately due and payable.
Reporting requirements under the Term Credit Agreement require the Company to provide annual audited financial statements accompanied by an opinion of
an independent public accountant without a “going concern” or like qualification or exception and without any qualification or exception as to the scope of such
audit or other material qualification or exception, except for any such qualification or exception with respect to any indebtedness maturing within 364 days after
the date of such financial statements. Lenders may take the position that the going concern explanatory paragraph contained in the audit report on the
Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 does not satisfy the requirements under the Term Credit Agreement. Under
the Term Credit Agreement, if notice of a failure to comply with the reporting covenant is given to the Company by the lenders, an event of default would occur
thereunder if such failure is not cured within thirty days after such notice is given, unless such event of default is waived by the requisite lenders. In the event
of default, the debt could become immediately due.
40
The Company’s ABL Credit Agreement contains an opinion delivery requirement that corresponds to the requirement under the Term Credit Agreement,
although under the ABL Credit Agreement there is an additional requirement that the opinion be reasonably acceptable to the agent under the ABL Credit
Agreement. On March 31, 2019 the Company obtained a waiver from the agent and lenders under the ABL Credit Agreement with respect to any event of
default under the reporting covenant that may be deemed to occur in relation to the going concern explanatory paragraph in the audit report. Such waiver does
not waive any cross-default that may occur in the event of the occurrence of an event of default under the Term Credit Agreement, as described above.
The loans made under the Term Credit Agreement become due on the earlier to occur of (i) the maturity date of September 3, 2019 or (ii) an acceleration of
such loans following the occurrence of an event of default (as defined in the Term Credit Agreement). The Company also has issued approximately $85 million
and $96 million of letters of credit under the ABL Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Should the Company not repay,
refinance or extend the maturity of the loans under the existing Term Credit Agreement prior to June 5, 2019, the termination date will occur under the ABL
Credit Agreement on such date unless the ABL Credit Agreement has been amended in the interim. Upon the occurrence of the termination date under the
ABL Credit Agreement, the obligations thereunder will become due and the Company will need to provide alternate collateral in place of the letters of credit
issued under the ABL Credit Agreement. Kodak entered into an agreement to sell its Flexographic Packaging Division (“FPD”) on November 11, 2018. The
Company expects to close the sale of FPD as early as April 8, 2019 and intends to use the proceeds of such sale to reduce the loans outstanding under the
Term Credit Agreement. The Company has also been engaged in negotiations to refinance the portion of the Term Credit Agreement that will not be paid from
proceeds from the sale of FPD. The Company intends to amend and restate or refinance the Term Credit Agreement prior to the maturity of the Term Credit
Agreement or ABL Credit Agreement and prior to the date on which any event of default would occur under the Term Credit Agreement.
Defined Benefit Pension and Postretirement Plans
Kodak made contributions (funded plans) or paid net benefits (unfunded plans) totaling approximately $15 million relating to its defined benefit pension and
postretirement benefit plans in 2018. For 2019, the forecasted contribution (funded plans) and net benefit payment (unfunded plans) requirements for its
defined benefit pension and postretirement plans are approximately $20 million.
Capital Expenditures
Cash flows from investing activities included $33 million for capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2018. Kodak expects approximately $15
million to $25 million of cash flows for investing activities from capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Kodak is expanding its manufacturing facility in Weatherford, Oklahoma to provide additional production capacity for FLEXCEL NX Plates. The additional
capacity will supplement Kodak’s existing plate manufacturing facility in Yamanashi, Japan and is designed to meet increasing demand. The new production
line is expected to be in full production by mid-2019 and will initially focus on supplying FLEXCEL NX Plates to customers in the United States, Canada and
Latin America. Kodak invested approximately $7 million in both 2018 and 2017. The total investment for the project is expected to be approximately $15
million.
IRS and Korean National Tax Service Agreement
In June 2012, Kodak filed a Request for Competent Authority Assistance with the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The request related to a
potential double taxation issue with respect to patent licensing royalty payments received by Kodak in 2010. In October 2018, an agreement was reached by
the IRS and Korean National Tax Service, resulting in a partial refund of Korean withholding taxes in the amount of $32 million. Kodak had previously agreed
with the licensee that made the royalty payments that any refunds of the related Korean withholding taxes would be shared equally between Kodak and the
licensee. Kodak received the $16 million net payment in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Transaction with RED-Rochester, LLC
In January 2019 Kodak entered into a series of agreements with RED-Rochester, LLC (“RED”), which provides utilities to the Eastman Business Park. Under
the agreements, future utility costs at Eastman Business Park may increase. In exchange for the increase in utility costs, Kodak received a payment of $14
million from RED. Kodak is required to pay a minimum annual overhead payment to RED of approximately $2 million regardless of utility usage. Kodak is
accounting for the $14 million payment from RED as debt. The minimum payments required under the agreement from Kodak to RED will be reported as a
reduction of the debt and interest expense using the effective interest method.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
EKC guarantees obligations to third parties for some of its consolidated subsidiaries. The maximum amount guaranteed is $4 million and the outstanding
amount for those guarantees is $1 million.
In connection with the settlement of certain of the Company’s historical environmental liabilities at EBP and in accordance with the terms of the associated
settlement agreement (“Amended EBP Settlement Agreement”), in the event the historical EBP liabilities exceed $99 million, the Company will become liable
for 50% of the portion above $99 million with no limitation to the maximum potential future payments. There is no liability recorded related to this guarantee.
Kodak issues indemnifications in certain instances when it sells businesses and real estate, and in the ordinary course of business with its customers,
suppliers, service providers and business partners.
41
Further, the Company indemnifies its directors and officers who are, or were, serving at the Company's request in such capacities. Historically, costs incurred
to settle claims related to these indemnifications have not been material to Kodak’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Additionally, the fair
value of the indemnifications that Kodak issued during the year ended December 31, 2018 was not material to Kodak’s financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Kodak is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information under this item.
42
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Eastman Kodak Company
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Eastman Kodak Company and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of
December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of
the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, including the related notes, and schedule of valuation and qualifying accounts for each of the two years
in the period ended December 31, 2018 appearing under Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have
audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of
December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework
(2013) issued by the COSO.
Substantial Doubt About the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note
1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has debt maturing in 2019, operating losses and negative cash flows that raise substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Change in Accounting Principles
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for revenues from contracts with
customers and the manner in which it accounts for retirement benefits in 2018.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and
for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's
internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal
control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial
statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal
control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness
exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing
such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
43
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect
the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The following is a description of the significant accounting policies of Kodak.
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EKC and all companies directly or indirectly controlled by EKC, either through majority
ownership or otherwise. Kodak consolidates variable interest entities if Kodak has a controlling financial interest and is determined to be the primary
beneficiary of the entity.
GOING CONCERN
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis of accounting, which assumes Kodak will continue to operate as a going
concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
The Company has $395 million of outstanding indebtedness under the Term Credit Agreement. The loans made under the Term Credit Agreement become due
on the earlier to occur of (i) the maturity date of September 3, 2019 or (ii) the acceleration of such loans following the occurrence of an event of default (as
defined in the Term Credit Agreement). The Company also has issued approximately $85 million and $96 million of letters of credit under the ABL Credit
Agreement as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Should the Company not repay, refinance or extend the maturity of the loans under the existing
Term Credit Agreement prior to June 5, 2019, the termination date will occur under the ABL Credit Agreement on such date unless the ABL Credit Agreement
has been amended in the interim. Upon the occurrence of the termination date under the ABL Credit Agreement, the obligations thereunder will become due
and the Company will need to provide alternate collateral in place of the letters of credit issued under the ABL Credit Agreement.
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, Kodak had approximately $246 million and $343 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents. $117 million and $172
million was held in the U.S. as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $129 million and $171 million were held outside the U.S. Cash balances held
outside the U.S. are generally required to support local country operations and may have high tax costs or other limitations that delay the ability to repatriate,
and therefore may not be readily available for transfer to other jurisdictions. Outstanding inter-company loans to the U.S. as of December 31, 2018 and 2017
were $390 million and $358 million, respectively, which includes short-term intercompany loans from Kodak’s international finance center of $92 million and $59
million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. In China, where approximately $72 million and $108 million of cash and cash equivalents was held as
of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, there are limitations related to net asset balances that may impact the ability to make cash available to other
jurisdictions in the world. Kodak had a net decrease in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $102 million and $109 million for the years ended December
31, 2018, and 2017, respectively.
U.S. GAAP requires an evaluation of whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to
continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Initially, this evaluation does not consider the potential mitigating
effect of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented. When substantial doubt exists, management evaluates the mitigating effect of its plans if it
is probable that (1) the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date the financial statements are issued, and (2) when implemented, the
plans will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the
date the financial statements are issued or prior to the conditions or events that create the going concern risk.
As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, Kodak has debt coming due within twelve months and does not have committed financing or available
liquidity to meet such debt obligations if they were to become due in accordance with their current terms.
Reporting requirements under the Term Credit Agreement require the Company to provide annual audited financial statements accompanied by an opinion of
an independent public accountant without a “going concern” or like qualification or exception and without any qualification or exception as to the scope of such
audit or other material qualification or exception, except for any such qualification or exception with respect to any indebtedness maturing within 364 days after
the date of such financial statements. Lenders may take the position that the going concern explanatory paragraph contained in the audit report on the
Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 does not satisfy the requirements under the Term Credit Agreement. Under
the Term Credit Agreement, if notice of a failure to comply with the reporting covenant is given to the Company by the lenders, an event of default would occur
thereunder if such failure is not cured within thirty days after such notice is given, unless such event of default is waived by the requisite lenders. In the event
of default, the debt could become immediately due.
The Company’s ABL Credit Agreement contains an opinion delivery requirement that corresponds to the requirement under the Term Credit Agreement,
although under the ABL Credit Agreement there is an additional requirement that the opinion be reasonably acceptable to the agent under the ABL Credit
Agreement. On March 31, 2019 the Company obtained a waiver from the agent and lenders under the ABL Credit Agreement with respect to any event of
51
default under the reporting covenant that may be deemed to occur in relation to the going concern explanatory paragraph in the audit report. Such waiver
does not waive any cross-default that may occur in the event of the occurrence of an event of default under the Term Credit Agreement as described above.
Kodak entered into an agreement to sell its Flexographic Packaging Division (“FPD”) on November 11, 2018. The Company expects to close the sale of FPD
as early as April 8, 2019 and intends to use the proceeds of such sale to reduce the loans outstanding under the Term Credit Agreement. The Company has
also been engaged in negotiations to refinance the portion of the Term Credit Agreement that will not be paid from proceeds from the sale of FPD. The
Company intends to amend and restate or refinance the Term Credit Agreement prior to the maturity of the Term Credit Agreement or ABL Credit Agreement
and prior to the date on which any event of default would occur under the Term Credit Agreement.
Additionally, Kodak is facing liquidity challenges due to operating losses and negative cash flow. Based on forecasted cash flows, there are uncertainties
regarding Kodak’s ability to meet commitments in the U.S. as they come due. Kodak’s plans to improve cash flow include reducing interest expense by
decreasing the debt balance using proceeds from asset sales, including the sale of the Flexographic Packaging segment; further restructuring Kodak’s cost
structure; and paring investment in new technology by eliminating, slowing, and partnering with investors in product development programs.
The sale of the Flexographic Packaging segment and/or refinancing of the loans under the Term Credit Agreement are not solely within Kodak’s control.
Executing agreements for the sale or a refinancing of the loans under the Term Credit Agreement and the timing for a closing of the sale or a refinancing of the
loans under the Term Credit Agreement are dependent upon several external factors outside Kodak’s control, including but not limited to, the ability of the
Company to reach acceptable agreements with different counterparties and the time required to meet conditions to closing under a sale agreement or credit
facility.
Kodak makes no assurances regarding the likelihood, certainty or timing of consummating any asset sales, including of the Flexographic Packaging segment,
refinancing of the Company’s existing debt, or regarding the sufficiency of any such actions to meet Kodak’s debt obligations, including compliance with debt
covenants, or other commitments in the U.S. as they come due.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about Kodak’s ability to continue as a going concern.
For more information regarding the Term Credit Agreement, the ABL Credit Agreement and debt covenants see Note 9, “Debt and Capital Leases”.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period classification due to adoption of Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) ASU 2017-07, Compensation – Retirements Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and New Periodic
Postretirement Benefit Cost and a change in segment measure to exclude amortization of prior service costs and credits. Refer to Note 1, Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies – Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and Note 26, “Segment Information” for additional information.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP accounting requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of commitments and contingencies at year end, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
FOREIGN CURRENCY
For most subsidiaries and branches outside the U.S., the local currency is the functional currency. The financial statements of these subsidiaries and
branches are translated into U.S. dollars as follows: assets and liabilities at year-end exchange rates; revenue, expenses and cash flows at average exchange
rates; and shareholders’ equity at historical exchange rates. For those subsidiaries for which the local currency is the functional currency, the resulting
translation adjustment is recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial
Position.
For certain other subsidiaries and branches outside the U.S., operations are conducted primarily in U.S. dollars, which is therefore the functional currency.
Monetary assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries and branches, which are recorded in local currency, are remeasured at year-end exchange rates,
while the related revenue, expense, and gain and loss accounts, which are recorded in local currency, are remeasured at average exchange rates. Non-
monetary assets and liabilities, and the related revenue, expense, and gain and loss accounts, are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Adjustments that
result from the remeasurement of the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are included in Other (income) charges, net in the accompanying Consolidated
Statement of Operations.
The effects of foreign currency transactions, including related hedging activities, are included in Other (income) charges, net, in the accompanying
Consolidated Statement of Operations.
52
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject Kodak to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, receivables,
restricted cash and derivative instruments. Kodak places its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash with high-quality financial institutions and limits the
amount of credit exposure to any one institution. With respect to receivables, such receivables arise from sales to numerous customers in a variety of
industries, markets, and geographies around the world. Receivables arising from these sales are generally not collateralized. Kodak performs ongoing credit
evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions and maintains reserves for potential credit losses and such losses, in the aggregate, have not exceeded
management’s expectations. Counterparties to the derivative instrument contracts are major financial institutions. Kodak has not experienced non-
performance by any of its derivative instrument counterparties.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
All highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost of all of Kodak’s inventories is determined by the average cost method, which approximates
current cost. Kodak provides inventory reserves for excess, obsolete or slow-moving inventory based on changes in customer demand, technology
developments or other economic factors.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Kodak capitalizes additions and improvements while maintenance and
repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or other disposition, the applicable amounts of asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed
from the accounts and the net amount, less proceeds from disposal, is charged or credited to net (loss) earnings.
Kodak calculates depreciation expense using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives, which are as follows:
Buildings and building improvements
Land improvements
Leasehold improvements
Equipment
Tooling
Furniture and fixtures
Estimated Useful
Lives
5-40
4-20
3-20
3-20
1-3
5-10
Kodak depreciates leasehold improvements over the shorter of the lease term or the asset’s estimated useful life.
Equipment subject to operating leases is included in Property, plant and equipment, net in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Equipment
subject to operating leases consists of equipment rented to customers and is depreciated to estimated salvage value over its expected useful life. Equipment
operating lease terms and depreciable lives generally vary from 3 to 7 years.
GOODWILL
Goodwill is not amortized but is required to be assessed for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that would
more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount.
When testing goodwill for impairment, Kodak may assess qualitative factors for some or all of its reporting units to determine whether it is more likely than not
(that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If Kodak determines
based on this qualitative test of impairment that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount or elects to bypass the
qualitative assessment for some or all of its reporting units, then a quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed to test for a potential impairment of
goodwill. The amount of goodwill impairment, if any, is calculated as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed
the carrying amount of goodwill. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Refer to Note 5,
“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.
53
WORKERS’ COMPENSATION
Kodak self-insures and participates in high-deductible insurance programs with retention and per occurrence deductible levels for claims related to workers’
compensation. The estimated liability for workers’ compensation is based on actuarially estimated, discounted cost of claims, including claims incurred but not
reported. Historical loss development factors are utilized to project the future development of incurred losses, and the amounts are adjusted based on actual
claim experience, settlements, claim development trends, changes in state regulations and judicial interpretations. Refer to Note 7, “Other Current Liabilities”
and Note 8, “Other Long-Term Liabilities” for the estimated liabilities. Amounts recoverable from insurance companies or third parties are estimated using
historical experience and estimates of future recoveries. Estimated recoveries are not offset against the related accrual. The amount recorded for the
estimated recoveries at December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $20 million and $25 million, respectively, of which $17 million and $22 million, respectively, is
reported in Other long-term assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The remaining $3 million at each year end is reported in Other current
assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
REVENUE
Kodak’s revenue transactions include sales of products (such as components and consumables for use in Kodak and other manufacturers’ equipment and
film-based products): equipment, software, services, integrated solutions, intellectual property and brand licensing; and real estate management activities.
Revenue from services includes extended warranty, customer support and maintenance agreements, consulting, business process services, training and
education.
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration Kodak expects
to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
For product sales (such as plates, film, inks, chemicals and other consumables) revenue is recognized when control has transferred from Kodak to the buyer,
which may be upon shipment or upon delivery to the customer site, based on contract terms or legal requirements in certain jurisdictions. Service revenue is
recognized using the time-based method ratably over the contractual period as it best depicts when the customer receives the benefit from the service.
Service revenue for time and materials-based agreements is recognized as services is performed.
Equipment is generally dependent on, and interrelated with, the underlying operating system (firm ware) and cannot function without the operating system. In
these cases, the hardware and software license are accounted for as a single performance obligation. Contracts with customers may include multiple
performance obligations including equipment, and optional software licenses and service agreements. Service agreements may be prepaid or paid over-time
and range from three months to six years. For such arrangements, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling
price. Standalone selling prices are based on the prices charged to customers or using expected cost-plus margin.
For non-complex equipment installations and software sales (Prepress and Prosper Components and Unified Workflow Solutions businesses) revenue is
recognized when control of each distinct performance obligation has transferred from Kodak to the buyer, which is generally met when the equipment or
software is delivered and installed at the customer site as delivery and installation generally occur within the same period. For complex equipment installations
or integrated software solutions (Prosper Presses, Electrophotographic Printing Solutions Printers, Unified Workflow Solutions) revenue is deferred until receipt
of customer acceptance and control has transferred to the buyer.
Software licenses are sold both in bundled equipment arrangements as discussed above or on a stand-alone basis (Unified Workflow Solutions business).
Software licenses are generally perpetual and are usually sold with post-contract support services (“PCS”) which are considered distinct performance
obligations as the customer’s use of the existing software is not dependent upon future upgrades. Kodak recognizes software revenue at the time that the
customer obtains control over the software which generally occurs upon installation while revenue allocated to the PCS is recognized over the service period.
In service arrangements such as consulting or business process services (Kodak Technology Solutions business) where final acceptance by the customer is
required, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met and Kodak has a legal right to payment.
Kodak’s licensing revenue is comprised of software licenses as discussed above, licenses to use functional intellectual property (patents and technical know-
how) and licenses to use symbolic intellectual property (brand names and trademarks) (Consumer and Film businesses). The timing and the amount of
revenue recognized from the licensing of intellectual property depends upon a variety of factors, including the nature of the performance obligations (functional
vs. symbolic licenses) specific terms of each agreement, and the payment terms. Aside from software licenses discussed above, Kodak’s functional licenses
generally provide the right to use functional intellectual property; therefore, non-sales/usage-based revenue is recognized when the customer has the right to
use the intellectual property while sales and usage-based royalties are recognized in the period the related sales and usage occurs. Revenue for symbolic
licenses such as brand licenses are recognized over time.
Real estate management revenue consists primarily of tenant lease income, common area maintenance charges and utilities. Usage based revenue is
recognized as earned while tenant lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
54
Deferred revenue is recorded when cash payments are received in advance of satisfying performance obligations such as deposits required in advance on
equipment orders, prepaid service contracts, prepaid tenant lease income or prepaid royalties on intellectual property arrangements. Interest expense is
imputed for payments received greater than one year in advance of performance.
Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days. Kodak applies the
practical expedient with respect to implied financial components and only imputes interest for payment terms greater than one year.
Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenues. Certain customers may receive cash-based incentives or credits, which are accounted for as
variable consideration. Kodak estimates these amounts based on the expected amount to be provided to customers.
Kodak expenses sales commissions when incurred if the amortization period would be one year or less. These costs are recorded in Selling, general and
administrative expenses. Kodak accrues the estimated cost of post-sale obligations, including basic product warranties, at the time of revenue recognition.
Shipping and handling costs are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales.
Kodak does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less or for which revenue
is recognized at the amount to which Kodak has the right to invoice for services performed. Performance obligations with an original expected length of greater
than one year generally consist of deferred service contracts, operating leases and licensing arrangements. As of December 31, 2018, there was
approximately $70 million of unrecognized revenue from unsatisfied performance obligations. Approximately 35% of the revenue from unsatisfied performance
obligations is expected to be recognized in 2019, 30% in 2020, 15% in 2021 and 20% thereafter.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
R&D costs, which include costs incurred in connection with new product development, fundamental and exploratory research, process improvement, product
use technology and product accreditation, are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
ADVERTISING
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of
Operations. Advertising expenses amounted to $4 million and $6 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
Amounts charged to customers and costs incurred by Kodak related to shipping and handling are included in net sales and cost of sales, respectively.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The carrying values of long-lived assets, other than goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable.
The recoverability of the carrying values of long-lived assets is assessed by first grouping long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level
for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, by estimating the
undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with and that are expected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group.
Kodak estimates the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining useful life of the primary asset within the asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group
exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows, Kodak records an impairment charge to the extent the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair
value. Kodak determines fair value through quoted market prices in active markets or, if quoted market prices are unavailable, through the performance of
internal analyses of discounted cash flows.
The remaining useful lives of long-lived assets are reviewed in connection with the assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets and the ongoing strategic
review of the business and operations. If the review indicates that the remaining useful life of the long-lived asset has changed significantly, the depreciation
on that asset is adjusted to facilitate full cost recovery over its revised estimated remaining useful life.
The carrying values of indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for potential impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. Refer to Note 5, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”
INCOME TAXES
Kodak recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of operating losses, credit carry-forwards and temporary
differences between the carrying amounts and tax basis of Kodak’s assets and liabilities. Kodak records a valuation allowance to reduce its net deferred tax
assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. For discussion of the amounts and components of the valuation allowances as of December
31, 2018 and 2017, refer to Note 17, “Income Taxes.”
The undistributed earnings of Kodak’s foreign subsidiaries are not considered permanently reinvested. Kodak has recognized a deferred tax liability (net of
related foreign tax credits) on the foreign subsidiaries’ undistributed earnings.
55
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2018-05, “Income Taxes (Topic
740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118” (“ASU 2018-05”), which updates the income tax accounting in U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to reflect the SEC interpretive guidance released on December 22, 2017, when the 2017 Act was signed into
law. Additional information regarding the adoption of this standard is contained in Note 17, Income Taxes.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation—Retirements Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost
and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. ASU 2017-07 requires entities to report the service cost component of net periodic pension and postretirement
benefit cost in the same line item(s) as other compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period and to report all other components of net
benefit costs outside a subtotal of income from operations. In addition, the ASU allows only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization when
applicable. Kodak adopted ASU 2017-07 effective January 1, 2018, retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost and other cost components and
prospectively for the application of the capitalization eligibility. The components of net benefit cost are shown in Note 19, “Retirement Plans” and Note 20,
“Other Postretirement Benefits”. The guidance impacted presentation in Kodak’s consolidated financial statements and the capitalization of costs to inventory.
The presentation of the service cost component was consistent with the requirements of the new standard. The other components (which were presented
within Cost of revenues, Selling and general administrative expenses and Research and development costs) are being presented separately on the face of the
Consolidated Statement of Operations. The segment measure of profit and loss previously included only the service cost and amortization of prior service
credits components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs (refer to Note 26, “Segment Information”). Effective January 1, 2018, the segment
measure of profit and loss only includes the service cost component of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs and prior periods have been
reclassified to conform to this presentation.
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20):
Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets. ASU 2017-05 defines in-substance nonfinancial
assets, provides guidance with respect to accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets and conforms the derecognition guidance on nonfinancial assets
with the model for transactions in the new revenue standard (Topic 606 as described below). Kodak adopted ASU 2017-05 effective January 1, 2018 using the
modified retrospective adoption approach. The application of this standard did not have a material impact on Kodak’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Topic 825): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 primarily affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and
disclosure requirements for financial instruments. Under the ASU all equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the
equity method of accounting) will generally be measured at fair value through earnings. In addition, the FASB clarified guidance related to the valuation
allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. Kodak adopted ASU 2016-
01 effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on Kodak’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition
requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition” and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that a company will recognize
revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in
exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows
arising from contracts with customers. Kodak adopted the provisions of the new standard effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method
which allows companies to record a one-time adjustment to opening retained earnings for the cumulative effect of the standard on open contracts at the time of
adoption. Kodak derives revenue from various brand licensing arrangements, which may include upfront payments and/or sales-based royalties subject to
minimum annual guaranteed amounts. Kodak recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of approximately $10 million as a decrease to the opening balance of
retained earnings related to these arrangements. With the exception of brand license revenue, Kodak did not identify any changes in the timing of revenue
recognition that resulted in a material transition adjustment.
The cumulative effect of the changes made to the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position for January 1, 2018 for the adoption of ASU 2014-09 were as
follows. The net reduction in opening retained earnings primarily reflected the impact related to brand licensing revenues.

The impact of the adoption on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are presented in the tables below.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, Kodak recognized $3 million of the $10 million cumulative effect adjustment recorded under ASC 606, however, this
revenue was offset by $3 million of revenue under new brand licensing arrangements that was deferred under ASC 606 but would have been recognized in
2018 under ASC 605.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure
Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which amends the disclosure requirements in ASC 715-20 by adding,
clarifying, or removing certain disclosures. ASU 2018-14 requires all entities to disclose (1) the weighted average interest crediting rates for cash balance
plans and other plans with promised interest crediting rates, and (2) an explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the
benefit obligation for the period. The ASU also clarifies certain disclosure requirements for entities with two or more defined benefit pension plans when
aggregate disclosures are presented. The ASU removes other disclosures from the existing guidance, such as the requirement to disclose the effects of a one-
percentage-point change in the assumed health care cost trend rates. The ASU is effective retrospectively for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020
(December 31, 2020 for Kodak). Early adoption is permitted. The standard addresses disclosures only and will not have an impact on Kodak’s consolidated
financial statements. Kodak will retrospectively adopt the ASU December 31, 2020.
57
In September 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements
for Fair Value Measurement, which amends the disclosure requirements in ASC 820 by adding, changing, or removing certain disclosures. The ASU applies to
disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements. The additional and/or modified disclosures relate primarily to Level 3 fair value
measurements while removing certain disclosures related to transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The ASU is effective
retrospectively, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 (January 1, 2020 for Kodak) and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are
permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures but can delay adoption of the new disclosures until their effective date. Kodak retrospectively
early adopted the provisions of the ASU that removed or modified disclosures in the fourth quarter of 2018 and expects to prospectively adopt the provisions
related to new disclosures January 1, 2020. The standard addresses disclosures only and will not have an impact on Kodak’s consolidated financial
statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for
Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which addresses how a customer should account for the costs
of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement (also referred to as a “hosting arrangement”). Under ASU 2018-15, entities should account for costs
associated with implementing a cloud computing arrangement that is considered a service contract in the same way as implementation costs associated with a
software license; implementation costs incurred in the application development stage, such as costs for the cloud computing arrangement’s integration with on-
premise software, coding, and configuration or customization, should be capitalized and amortized over the term of the cloud computing arrangement,
including periods covered by certain renewal options. The ASU is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 (January 1, 2020 for Kodak)
including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all
implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. Kodak is currently evaluating the impact and will adopt the ASU prospectively January 1, 2020.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects
from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. The ASU addresses certain stranded income tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income
(AOCI) resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Tax Act”). The ASU provides an option to reclassify stranded tax effects within AOCI to retained
earnings in each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the 2017 Tax Act (or portion thereof) is recorded and
requires additional disclosures. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (January 1, 2019 for Kodak) and interim periods within
those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and may be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the
effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the 2017 Tax Act is recognized. Kodak plans to adopt the new standard on the effective
date. The adoption of this ASU will not have an impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements as a result of Kodak’s U.S. valuation allowance.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.
ASU 2016-13 (including amendments in ASU 2018-19) requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be
presented at the net amount expected to be collected. In addition, the ASU requires credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded
through an allowance for credit losses. The amendments in this ASU broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit
loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal
years, beginning after December 15, 2019 (January 1, 2020 for Kodak). Early adoption is permitted. Kodak plans to adopt the new standard on the effective
date and is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Topic 842 (as amended by ASU’s 2018-01, 10, 11 and 20) requires lessees to
recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets and eliminates certain real estate-specific provisions.
The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases and
operating leases. The new leasing standard is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018
(January 1, 2019 for Kodak). Early adoption is permitted. The original guidance required application on a modified retrospective basis to the earliest period
presented. ASU 2018-11, Targeted improvements to ASC 842, includes an option to not restate comparative periods in transition and elect to use the effective
date of ASC 842 as the date of initial application of transition. Kodak adopted the new standard on the effective date applying the new transition method
allowed under ASU 2018-11 and continues to evaluate the impact of adoption on its financial statements. Kodak is continuing to accumulate all the necessary
information required to properly account for the leases under the new standard. Kodak anticipates that the adoption of the amended lease guidance will
materially increase the assets and liabilities recorded in its Consolidated Statement of Financial Position due to the recognition of right-of-use assets and
liabilities. Kodak will also recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to increase retained earnings of approximately $5 million due to the derecognition of
assets and deferred gain on previous sale-leaseback transactions. In addition, certain changes to Kodak’s systems and processes may be made related to
the new lease accounting requirements.

Gross goodwill and accumulated impairment losses were $76 million and $64 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
The Print Systems segment has two goodwill reporting units: Prepress Solutions and Electrophotographic Printing Solutions. The Software and Solutions
segment has two goodwill reporting units: Kodak Technology Solutions and Unified Workflow Solutions. The Consumer and Film segment has two goodwill
reporting units: Consumer Products and Motion Picture, Industrial Chemicals and Films. The Enterprise Inkjet Systems segment, Advanced Materials and 3D
Printing segment and the Eastman Business Park segment each have one goodwill reporting unit.
Based upon the results of Kodak’s December 31, 2018 annual impairment test, no impairment of goodwill is indicated.
Given the decline in Kodak’s financial projections in 2017 and in its market capitalization from the 2016 goodwill impairment test, Kodak performed an interim
goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2017. Kodak utilized the discounted cash flow method and guideline public company method for the reporting
units with goodwill. For these reporting units, Kodak selected equal weighting of the guideline public company method and the discounted cash flow method
as the valuation approaches produced comparable ranges of fair value. Fair values for the other reporting units were estimated using the discounted cash flow
method only.
Based upon the results of Kodak’s September 30, 2017 analysis, Kodak concluded that the Prepress Solutions reporting unit’s carrying value exceeded its fair
value and recorded a pre-tax goodwill impairment loss of $56 million in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. No impairment of goodwill was indicated for
the other reporting units.

In the fourth quarter of 2018 and 2017, Kodak concluded the carrying value of the Kodak trade name exceeded its fair value. Pre-tax impairment charges of
$13 million and $2 million, respectively, are included in Other operating expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
In the third quarter of 2017, due to canceling its copper mesh touch screen program, Kodak wrote off related intangible assets with a gross carrying amount of
$33 million and accumulated amortization of $21 million and recorded an impairment charge of $12 million.

During the first quarter of 2017, Kodak recorded a pre-tax charge of $4 million to adjust the Prosper intangible asset carrying value to the amount that would
have been recorded had the Prosper intangible assets been continuously classified as held and used. Refer to Note 15, “Other Operating Expense (Income),
net” and Note 27, “Discontinued Operations”.
Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $11 million and $17 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

(1) On September 3, 2013, Kodak consummated the sale of certain assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of the Personalized Imaging and
Document Imaging Businesses (“PI/DI Businesses”) to the trustee of the U. K. pension plan (and/or its subsidiaries, collectively the “KPP Purchasing
Parties”) for net cash consideration of $325 million. Up to $35 million in aggregate of the purchase price is subject to repayment if the PI/DI Business
does not achieve certain annual adjusted EBITDA targets over the four-year period ending December 31, 2018. The PI/DI Business did not achieve
the adjusted annual EBITDA target for 2017, 2016 or 2015. The amounts owed for 2015 and 2016 were paid in 2016 and 2017, respectively. The
amount owed for 2017 of $10 million was paid in January 2019. The maximum potential payment related to the year ending December 31, 2018 of
$14 million was accrued at the time of the divestiture of the business.
The customer rebate amounts will potentially be settled through customer deductions applied to outstanding trade receivables in lieu of cash payments.

On September 3, 2013, the Company entered into (i) a Senior Secured First Lien Term Credit Agreement (the “Term Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party
thereto (the “First Lien Lenders”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Barclays Bank PLC, and Merrill
Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc. as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and (ii) a Senior Secured Second Lien Term Credit Agreement (the “Second
Lien Term Credit Agreement,” and together with the Term Credit Agreement, the “Term Credit Agreements”), with the lenders party thereto (the “Second Lien
Lenders,” and together with the First Lien Lenders, the “Term Credit Lenders”), Barclays Bank PLC as administrative agent, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC,
Barclays Bank PLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc. as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners. Additionally, the Company and its U.S.
subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) entered into an Asset Based Revolving Credit Agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement” and together with the Term
Credit Agreements, the “Credit Agreements”) with the lenders party thereto (the “ABL Lenders” and together with the First Lien Lenders and the Second Lien
Lenders, the “Lenders”) and Bank of America N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent, Barclays Bank PLC as syndication agent and Merrill Lynch,
Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc., Barclays Bank PLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners. Pursuant to the terms of the
Credit Agreements, the Term Credit Lenders provided the Company with term loan facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $695 million, consisting of
$420 million of first-lien term loans (the “First Lien Loans”) and $275 million of second-lien term loans (the “Second Lien Loans”). Net proceeds from the Term
Credit Agreements were $664 million ($695 million aggregate principal less $15 million stated discount and $16 million in debt transaction costs). The loans
made under the Term Credit Agreement become due on the earlier to occur of (i) the maturity date of September 3, 2019 or (ii) the acceleration of such loans
following the occurrence of an event of default (as defined in the Term Credit Agreement). The Second Lien Term Credit Agreement was prepaid and
terminated on November 15, 2016 using the proceeds from the sale of Series A Preferred Stock together with cash on hand.
The Credit Agreements limit, among other things, the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ ability to (i) incur indebtedness, (ii) incur or create liens,
(iii) dispose of assets, (iv) make restricted payments (including dividend payments, et al.) and (v) make investments. In addition to other customary affirmative
covenants, the Credit Agreements provide for a periodic delivery by the Company of its various financial statements as set forth in the Credit Agreements.
Events of default under the Credit Agreements include, among others, failure to pay any loan, interest or other amount due under the applicable credit
agreement, breach of specific covenants and a change of control of the Company. Upon an event of default, the applicable lenders may declare the
outstanding obligations under the applicable credit agreement to be immediately due and payable and exercise other rights and remedies provided for in such
Credit Agreements.
63
The First Lien Loans bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 6.25% per annum, with a LIBOR floor of 1% or Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Term Credit
Agreement) plus 5.25%. Under the ABL Credit Agreement, the ABL Loans bore interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%-3.25% per annum or Base Rate (as
defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) plus 1.75%-2.25% per annum, based on Excess Availability (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) until the ABL
Credit Agreement was amended as discussed below. Each existing and future direct or indirect U.S. subsidiary of the Company (other than immaterial
subsidiaries, unrestricted subsidiaries and certain other subsidiaries) have agreed to provide unconditional guarantees of the obligations of the Company
under the Credit Agreements. Subject to certain exceptions, obligations under the Term Credit Agreement are secured by: (i) a first lien on all assets of the
Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, other than the ABL Collateral (as defined below), including a first lien on 100% of the stock of material domestic
subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of material first-tier foreign subsidiaries (collectively the “Term Collateral”) and (ii) a second lien on the ABL Collateral.
Obligations under the Asset Based Revolving Credit Agreement are secured by: (i) a first lien on cash, accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and
equipment (the “ABL Collateral”) and (ii) a second lien on the Term Collateral. The aggregate carrying value of the Term Collateral and ABL Collateral as of
December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $1,310 million and $1,385 million, respectively.
The Company may voluntarily prepay the First Lien Loans.
As defined in the Term Credit Agreement, the Company is required to prepay loans with net proceeds from asset sales, recovery events or issuance of
indebtedness, subject to, in the case of net proceeds received from asset sales or recovery events, reinvestment rights by the Company in assets used or
usable by the business within certain time limits. On October 2, 2017, Kodak prepaid $6 million of principal under the Term Credit Agreement from proceeds
from a royalty payment. On July 7, 2016, Kodak prepaid $5 million of principal under the Term Credit Agreement from proceeds received from the sale of a
business. Under the terms of the Term Credit Agreement, the prepayments were applied first to the installment principal payments of $4 million due over the
next twelve months, then ratably to the remaining scheduled payments. With the prepayments, Kodak does not owe any future scheduled principal payments
until the maturity date of the loan.
On an annual basis, the Company will prepay on June 30 of the following fiscal year loans in an amount equal to a percentage of Excess Cash Flow (“ECF”)
as defined in the Term Credit Agreement, provided no such prepayment is required if such prepayment would cause U.S. liquidity (as defined in the Term
Credit Agreement) to be less than $100 million or the Secured Leverage ratio is less than 2.25 to 1.00. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017,
ECF was a negative amount. For 2016, the Secured Leverage Ratio was below 2.25 to 1.00. Therefore, no prepayments of First Lien term debt have been
required. Any mandatory prepayments as described above shall be reduced by any mandatory prepayments of the First Lien Loans.
Under the Term Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain a Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined therein) not to exceed specified levels. The
Secured Leverage Ratio under the Term Credit Agreement is tested at the end of each quarter based on the prior four quarters. The maximum Secured
Leverage Ratio permitted under the Term Credit Agreement declined on June 30, 2015 from 3.75:1 to 3.25:1 and further declined on December 31, 2015 from
3.25:1 to 2.75:1, with no further adjustments for the remainder of the agreement.
Under the terms of the Credit Agreements, the Company may designate Restricted Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries provided the aggregate sales of
all Unrestricted Subsidiaries are less than 7.5% of the consolidated sales of Kodak and the aggregate assets of all Unrestricted Subsidiaries are less than
7.5% of Kodak’s consolidated assets. Further, under the ABL Credit Agreement, on a pro forma basis at the time of designation and immediately after giving
effect thereto, Excess Availability must be at least $30 million and the pro forma Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio must be no less than 1.0 to 1.0. Upon
designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries, the Company is required to provide to the Lenders reconciling statements to eliminate all financial information
pertaining to Unrestricted Subsidiaries which is included in its annual and quarterly financial statements.
In March 2018, the Company designated five subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, Kodak PE Tech, LLC, Kodak LB Tech, LLC, Kodak Realty, Inc.,
Kodakit Singapore Pte. Limited and KP Services (Jersey) Ltd. This action allowed the Company to better position assets which may be monetized in the future
and address costs related to underutilized properties. Collectively, these subsidiaries have sales of approximately $12 million for the year ended December 31,
2018 and assets of $21 million as of December 31, 2018, which represent 1% and 1%, respectively, of Kodak’s consolidated sales for the year ended
December 31, 2018 and consolidated assets as of December 31, 2018. Each of the capitalized but undefined terms has the meaning ascribed to such term in
the Credit Agreements. EBITDA of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries, as calculated under the Term Credit Agreement and the ABL Credit Agreement, is a loss and
is excluded from the calculation of the Secured Leverage Ratio. Therefore, designating these Subsidiaries as Unrestricted had the impact of improving the
Secured Leverage Ratio.
Kodak intends to conduct its operations in a manner that will result in continued compliance with the secured leverage ratio covenant; however, future
compliance may depend on Kodak undertaking one or more actions, such as the repatriation of cash into the U.S., the management of operating cash
outflows, the designation of subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, a monetization of assets, a debt refinancing, the raising of equity capital, or a similar
transaction.

ABL Credit Agreement
On May 26, 2016, the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) entered into an Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), Bank of America, N.A., as administrative and collateral agent, and
Bank of America, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, which amended and restated the existing Asset Based
Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of September 3, 2013 (the “Prior Credit Agreement”). Each of the capitalized but undefined terms used in the context of
describing the ABL Credit Agreement has the meaning ascribed to such term in the ABL Credit Agreement.
The ABL Credit Agreement decreased the aggregate amount of commitments from $200 million to $150 million and extended the maturity date to the earlier of
May 26, 2021 or the date that is 90 days prior to the earliest scheduled maturity date of any of the Company’s outstanding term loans or refinancings thereof,
of which the earliest maturity date is currently September 3, 2019. The ABL Credit Agreement, among other things, lowered reserve requirements by
eliminating the Availability Block and removed the ability to use Qualified Cash to support Excess Availability.
Each existing direct or indirect U.S. subsidiary of the Company (other than Immaterial Subsidiaries, Unrestricted Subsidiaries and certain other subsidiaries)
has reaffirmed its unconditional guarantee (and any such future subsidiaries must provide an unconditional guarantee) of the obligations of the Company
under the ABL Credit Agreement.
The Lenders will make available asset-based revolving loans (the “ABL Loans”) and letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $150 million, subject to
the Borrowing Base. The Company has issued approximately $85 million and $96 million of letters of credit under the ABL Credit Agreement as of December
31, 2018 and 2017. The Company had approximately $19 million and $20 million of Excess Availability under the ABL Credit Agreement as of December 31,
2018 and 2017. Availability is subject to the borrowing base calculation, reserves and other limitations.
The ABL Loans bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 2.25% - 2.75% per annum or Base Rate plus 1.25% - 1.75% per annum based on Excess Availability.
Excess Availability is equal to the sum of (i) 85% of the amount of the Eligible Receivables less a Dilution Reserve, (ii) the lesser of 85% of Net Orderly
Liquidation Value or 75% of the Eligible Inventory (iii) the lesser of 75% of Orderly Liquidation Value of Eligible Equipment or $11 million, as of December 31,
2018 (which $11 million decreases by $1 million per quarter) and (iv) Eligible Cash less (a) Rent and Charges Reserves, (b) Principal Outstanding and (c)
Outstanding Letters of Credit.
Under the ABL Credit Agreement, Kodak is required to maintain a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.00 to 1.00 when Excess Availability is less than
12.5% of lender commitments. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017 12.5% of lender commitments were $18.75 million.
If Excess Availability falls below 12.5% of lender commitments, Kodak may, in addition to the requirement to be in compliance with the minimum Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio, become subject to cash dominion control. Since Excess Availability was greater than 12.5% of lender commitments at December 31, 2017,
Kodak is not required to have a minimum Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio of 1.0 to 1.0.
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, Kodak had funded $3 million and $6 million, respectively, to the Eligible Cash account, held with the ABL Credit
Agreement Administrative Agent, which is classified as Restricted cash in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Reporting requirements under the Term Credit Agreement require the Company to provide annual audited financial statements accompanied by an opinion of
an independent public accountant without a “going concern” or like qualification or exception and without any qualification or exception as to the scope of such
audit or other material qualification or exception, except for any such qualification or exception with respect to any indebtedness maturing within 364 days after
the date of such financial statements. Lenders may take the position that the going concern explanatory paragraph contained in the audit report on the
Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 does not satisfy the requirements under the Term Credit Agreement. Under
the Term Credit Agreement, if notice of a failure to comply with the reporting covenant is given to the Company by the lenders, an event of default would occur
thereunder if such failure is not cured within thirty days after such notice is given, unless such event of default is waived by the requisite lenders. In the event
of default, the debt could become immediately due.
The Company’s ABL Credit Agreement contains an opinion delivery requirement that corresponds to the requirement under the Term Credit Agreement,
although under the ABL Credit Agreement there is an additional requirement that the opinion be reasonably acceptable to the agent under the ABL Credit
Agreement. On March 31, 2019 the Company obtained a waiver from the agent and lenders under the ABL Credit Agreement with respect to any event of
default under the reporting covenant that may be deemed to occur in relation to the going concern explanatory paragraph in the audit report. Such waiver
does not waive any cross-default that may occur in the event of the occurrence of an event of default under the Term Credit Agreement as described above.
The Company intends to repay the Term Credit Agreement using proceeds from the sale of the Flexographic Packaging segment and to amend and restate or
refinance the Term Credit Agreement prior to the maturity of the Term Credit Agreement or ABL Credit Agreement and prior to the date on which any event of
default would occur under the Term Credit Agreement.

NOTE 10: REDEEMABLE, CONVERTIBLE SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
On November 15, 2016, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of 5.50% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value per share (the “Series A
Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $200 million, or $100 per share pursuant to a Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the
“Purchase Agreement”) with Southeastern Asset Management, Inc. (“Southeastern”) and Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund, C2W Partners Master Fund
Limited and Deseret Mutual Pension Trust, which are investment funds managed by Southeastern (such investment funds, collectively, the “Purchasers”),
dated November 7, 2016. The Company received net proceeds of $198 million after issuance costs.
The Company has classified the Series A Preferred Stock as temporary equity in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Dividend and Other Rights
On November 14, 2016, the Company filed with the Department of Treasury of the State of New Jersey a Certificate of Amendment to the Second Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Designations”) which established the designation, number of shares, rights,
preferences and limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock which became effective upon filing. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s
common stock (“Common Stock”) with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution. The Series A Preferred Stock has a
liquidation preference of $100 per share, and the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends payable quarterly in cash at a rate of
5.50% per annum. Until the third quarter of 2018 all dividends owed on the Series A Preferred Stock were declared and paid when due. No quarterly dividend
was declared in the third or fourth quarters of 2018.
Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of the Common Stock as a single class, in each case, on an as-converted
basis, except where a separate class vote is required by law. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock have certain limited special approval rights, including with
respect to the issuance of pari passu or senior equity securities of the Company.
The Purchasers have the right to nominate members to the Company’s board of directors proportional to their ownership on an as converted basis, which
initially allows the Purchasers to nominate two members to the board. If dividends on any Series A Preferred Stock are in arrears for six or more consecutive
or non-consecutive dividend periods, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, voting with holders of all other preferred stock of the Company whose voting
rights are then exercisable, will be entitled to vote for the election of two additional directors in the next annual meeting and all subsequent meetings until all
accumulated dividends on such Series A Preferred Stock and other voting preferred stock have been paid or set aside. The nomination right of the Purchasers
will be reduced by two nominees at any time the holders of Series A Preferred Stock have the right to elect, or participate in the election of, two additional
directors. Two of the directors on the Company’s current board of directors were nominated by the Purchasers.
Conversion Features
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of each holder at any time, into shares of Common Stock at the initial conversion rate of
5.7471 (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $17.40 per share of Common Stock). If a holder elects to convert any shares of Series A Preferred Stock
during a specified period in connection with a fundamental change (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), the conversion rate will be adjusted under
certain circumstances and such holder will also be entitled to a payment in respect of accumulated dividends. If a holder elects to convert any shares of Series
A Preferred Stock during a specified period following a reorganization event (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), such holder can elect to have the
conversion rate adjusted. In addition, the Company will have the right to require holders to convert any shares of Series A Preferred Stock in connection with
certain reorganization events, in which case the conversion rate will be adjusted under certain circumstances. If shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not
converted in connection with a reorganization event, such shares will become convertible into the exchanged property from the reorganization event.
The Company will have the right to convert Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock at any time after the second anniversary of the initial issuance, if the
closing price of the Common Stock has equaled or exceeded 125 percent of the then-effective conversion price for 45 trading days within a period of 60
consecutive trading days, with the last trading day of such 60 day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the business day on which the
Company issues a press release announcing the mandatory conversion.
The initial conversion rate and the corresponding conversion price are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments as well as an adjustment if the Company
is obligated to make a cash payment under the settlement agreement relating to the remediation of historical environmental liabilities at EBP, as discussed in
Note 12, “Guarantees”.
The Company concluded that the Series A Preferred Stock is considered more akin to a debt-type instrument and that the economic characteristics and risks
of the embedded conversion features, except where the conversion price is increased to the liquidation preference, were not considered clearly and closely
related to the Series A Preferred Stock. Accordingly, these embedded conversion features were bifurcated from the Series A Preferred Stock and separately
accounted for on a combined basis at fair value as a single derivative. The Company allocated $43 million of the net proceeds received to the derivative
liability based on the aggregate fair value of the embedded conversion features on the date of issuance which reduced the original carrying value of the Series
A Preferred Stock. The derivative is being accounted for at fair value with subsequent changes in the fair value being reported as part of Other (income)
charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The fair value of the derivative as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 was an asset of $4 million and is
included within Other long-term assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Refer to Note 13, “Financial Instruments” for
information on the valuation of the derivative.
66
The carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock at the time of issuance, $155 million ($200 million aggregate gross proceeds less $43 million allocated to
the derivative liability and $2 million in transaction costs) is being accreted to the mandatory redemption amount using the effective interest method to
Additional paid in capital in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as a deemed dividend from the date of issuance through the mandatory
redemption date, November 15, 2021.
Redemption Features
If any shares of Series A Preferred Stock have not been converted prior to the fifth anniversary of the initial issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, the
Company is required to redeem such shares at $100 per share plus the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends. As the Company concluded that the Series
A Preferred Stock is considered more akin to a debt-type instrument, the redemption feature is considered to be clearly and closely related to the host contract
and therefore was not required to be separated from the Series A Preferred Stock.
Series A Registration Rights Agreement
On November 15, 2016, the Company, Southeastern and the Purchasers entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Series A Registration Rights
Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to register under the Securities Act and take certain actions with respect to the offer and sale by the
Purchasers of shares of Series A Preferred Stock purchased by the Purchasers and shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A
Preferred Stock and issuable pursuant to the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A registrable securities”).
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has filed with the SEC a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that relates to the resale of the
Series A registrable securities and such registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC. Upon the written demand of the relevant Purchaser(s),
the Company will facilitate a “takedown” of Series A registrable securities off of the registration statement but the Purchaser(s) may not, individually or
collectively, make more than four demands in the aggregate. Any demand for an underwritten offering of Series A Preferred Stock must have an aggregate
market value (based on the most recent closing price of the Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of the demand) of
at least $75 million.
The Series A Registration Rights Agreement does not entitle the Purchasers to piggyback registration rights. The Series A Registration Rights Agreement is
binding upon the parties thereto and their successors and will inure to the benefit of each Purchaser and its successors and permitted assigns. Neither party
may assign the Series A Registration Rights Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party.
NOTE 11: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Asset Retirement Obligations
Kodak’s asset retirement obligations primarily relate to asbestos contained in buildings that Kodak owns. In many of the countries in which Kodak operates,
environmental regulations exist that require Kodak to handle and dispose of asbestos in a special manner if a building undergoes major renovations or is
demolished. Otherwise, Kodak is not required to remove the asbestos from its buildings. Kodak records a liability equal to the estimated fair value of its
obligation to perform asset retirement activities related to the asbestos, computed using an expected present value technique, when sufficient information
exists to calculate the fair value. Kodak does not have a liability recorded related to every building that contains asbestos because Kodak cannot estimate the
fair value of its obligation for certain buildings due to a lack of sufficient information about the range of time over which the obligation may be settled through
demolition, renovation or sale of the building.
The following table provides asset retirement obligation activity (in millions):

Other Commitments and Contingencies
The Company and its subsidiaries have entered into operating leases for various real estate and equipment needs. Rental expense in the years ended
December 31, 2018 and 2017 amounted to $21 million and $22 million, respectively, net of sublease income of $7 million in each year.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $85 million issued under the ABL Credit Agreement as well as bank guarantees
and letters of credit of $3 million, surety bonds in the amount of $40 million, and restricted cash and deposits of $25 million, primarily to support compliance
with the Excess Availability threshold under the ABL Credit Agreement, to ensure the payment of possible casualty and workers compensation claims,
67
environmental liabilities, legal contingencies, rental payments, and to support various customs, hedging, tax and trade activities. The restricted cash and
deposits are recorded in Restricted cash, Other current assets and Other long-term assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Kodak’s Brazilian operations are involved in various litigation matters and have received or been the subject of numerous governmental assessments related
to indirect and other taxes in various stages of litigation, as well as civil litigation and disputes associated with former employees and contract labor. The tax
matters, which comprise the majority of the litigation matters, are primarily related to federal and state value-added taxes. Kodak is disputing these matters
and intends to vigorously defend its position. Kodak routinely assesses all these matters as to the probability of ultimately incurring a liability in its Brazilian
operations and records its best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where it assesses the likelihood of loss as probable. As of December 31, 2018, the
unreserved portion of these contingencies, inclusive of any related interest and penalties, for which there was at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may
be incurred, amounted to approximately $10 million.
In connection with assessments in Brazil, local regulations may require Kodak to post security for a portion of the amounts in dispute. As of December 31,
2018, Kodak has posted security composed of $5 million of pledged cash reported within Restricted cash in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position
and liens on certain Brazilian assets with a net book value of approximately $60 million. Generally, any encumbrances on the Brazilian assets would be
removed to the extent the matter is resolved in Kodak's favor.
Kodak is involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations, remediations and proceedings, including, from time to time, commercial, customs, employment,
environmental, tort and health and safety matters, which are being handled and defended in the ordinary course of business. Kodak is also subject, from time
to time, to various assertions, claims, proceedings and requests for indemnification concerning intellectual property, including patent infringement suits
involving technologies that are incorporated in a broad spectrum of Kodak’s products and claims arising out of Kodak’s licensing its brand. These matters are
in various stages of investigation and litigation, and are being vigorously defended. Based on information currently available, Kodak does not believe that it is
probable that the outcomes in any of these matters, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of
operations. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and judgments could be rendered or settlements entered that could adversely affect Kodak’s operating
results or cash flows in a particular period. Kodak routinely assesses all of its litigation and threatened litigation as to the probability of ultimately incurring a
liability, and records its best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where it assesses the likelihood of loss as probable.
NOTE 12: GUARANTEES
EKC guarantees obligations to third parties for some of its consolidated subsidiaries. The maximum amount guaranteed is $4 million and the outstanding
amount for those guarantees is $1 million.
In accordance with the terms of a settlement agreement concerning certain of the Company’s historical environmental liabilities at EBP, in the event the
historical liabilities exceed $99 million, the Company will become liable for 50% of the portion above $99 million with no limitation to the maximum potential
future payments. There is no liability recorded related to this guarantee.
Indemnifications
Kodak may, in certain instances, indemnify third parties when it sells businesses and real estate, and in the ordinary course of business with its customers,
suppliers, service providers and business partners. Additionally, Kodak indemnifies officers and directors who are, or were, serving at Kodak’s request in such
capacities. Historically, costs incurred to settle claims related to these indemnifications have not been material to Kodak’s financial position, results of
operations or cash flows. Further, the fair value of any right to indemnification granted during the year ended December 31, 2018 was not material to Kodak’s
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Extended Warranty Arrangements
Kodak offers its customers extended warranty arrangements that are generally one year, but may range from three months to six years after the original
warranty period. Kodak provides repair services and routine maintenance under these arrangements. Kodak has not separated the extended warranty costs
from the routine maintenance service costs, as it is not practicable to do so. Therefore, these costs have been aggregated in the discussion that follows. The
change in Kodak's deferred revenue balance in relation to these extended warranty and maintenance arrangements, which is reflected in Other current
liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, was as follows:

Costs incurred under these extended warranty and maintenance arrangements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 amounted to $113 million
and $114 million, respectively.
NOTE 13: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Kodak, as a result of its global operating and financing activities, is exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, which may
adversely affect its results of operations and financial position. Kodak manages such exposures, in part, with derivative financial instruments. Foreign
currency forward contracts are used to mitigate currency risk related to foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, as well as forecasted foreign
currency denominated intercompany assets. Kodak’s exposure to changes in interest rates results from its investing and borrowing activities used to meet its
liquidity needs. Kodak does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
Kodak’s foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedges and are marked to market through net earnings (loss) at the same time that the
exposed assets and liabilities are re-measured through net earnings (loss) (both in Other (income) charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations).
The notional amount of such contracts open at December 31, 2018 and 2017 was approximately $415 million and $534 million, respectively. The majority of
the contracts of this type held by Kodak at December 31, 2018 were denominated in euros, Japanese yen, Chinese renminbi and Swiss francs. The majority
of the contracts of this type held by Kodak at December 31, 2017 were denominated in Swiss francs and euros. The net effect of foreign currency forward
contracts in the results of operations is shown in the following table:
(in millions)

$
10 $
10
Kodak had no derivatives designated as hedging instruments for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Kodak’s derivative counterparties are high-quality investment or commercial banks with significant experience with such instruments. Kodak manages
exposure to counterparty credit risk by requiring specific minimum credit standards and diversification of counterparties. Kodak has procedures to monitor the
credit exposure amounts. The maximum credit exposure at December 31, 2018 was not significant to Kodak.
In the event of a default under the Company’s Credit Agreements, or a default under any derivative contract or similar obligation of Kodak, subject to certain
minimum thresholds, the derivative counterparties would have the right, although not the obligation, to require immediate settlement of some or all open
derivative contracts at their then-current fair value, but with liability positions netted against asset positions with the same counterparty.
As discussed in Note 10, “Redeemable, Convertible, Series A Preferred Stock”, Kodak concluded that the Series A Preferred Stock is considered more akin to
a debt-type instrument and that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded conversion features, except where the conversion price was increased
to the liquidation preference, were not considered clearly and closely related to the Series A Preferred Stock. The embedded conversion features not
considered clearly and closely related are the conversion at the option of the holder; the ability of Kodak to automatically convert the stock after the second
anniversary of issuance and the conversion in the event of a fundamental change or reorganization. Accordingly, these embedded conversion features were
bifurcated from the Series A Preferred Stock and separately accounted for on a combined basis as a single derivative asset or liability which is reported in
Other long-term assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. The derivative is being accounted for at fair
value with changes in fair value being reported in Other (income) charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Fair Value
Fair values of Kodak’s foreign currency forward contracts are determined using observable inputs (Level 2 fair value measurements) and are based on the
present value of expected future cash flows (an income approach valuation technique) considering the risks involved and using discount rates appropriate for
the duration of the contracts. The gross fair value of foreign currency forward contracts in an asset position are reported in Other current assets in the
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and the gross fair value of foreign currency contracts in a liability position are reported in Other current liabilities.
The gross fair value of foreign currency forward contracts in an asset position as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $3 million and $7 million, respectively.
The gross fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts in a liability position as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 were $1 million in each year.
The fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock embedded conversion features derivative is calculated using unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair measurements).
The value is calculated using a binomial lattice model. The following table presents the key inputs in the determination of fair value at December 31, 2018 and
2017:

The Fundamental Change and Reorganization Conversion value at issuance was calculated as the difference between the total value of the Series A
Preferred Stock and the sum of the net present value of the cash flows if the Series A Preferred Stock is redeemed on its fifth anniversary and the values of
the other embedded derivatives. The Fundamental Change and Reorganization Conversion value reduces the value of the embedded conversion features
derivative liability. The Fundamental Change and Reorganization Conversion value exceeded the value of the embedded conversion features derivative
liability at December 31, 2018 and 2017 resulting in the derivative being reported as an asset.
The fair values of long-term borrowings were $5 million and $348 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Fair values of long-term borrowings
(Level 2 fair value measurements) are determined by reference to quoted market prices, if available, or by pricing models based on the value of related cash
flows discounted at current market interest rates. At December 31, 2018, the fair value of current portion of long-term borrowings was also determined by
reference to quoted market prices of similar instruments, if available, or by pricing models based on the value of related cash flows discounted at current
market interest rates. The fair value of the current portion of long-term borrowings was $378 million at December 31, 2018.
Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized based on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.
There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended December 31, 2018.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximate their fair values. In addition, the fair value of the current portion of long-
term borrowings approximated its fair value at December 31, 2017.

Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed trade receivables, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and customer
advances and deposits (contract liabilities) in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The contract assets are transferred to trade receivables when
the rights to consideration become unconditional. The amounts recorded for contract assets at December 31, 2018 and 2017 were $3 million and $2 million,
respectively, and are reported in Other current assets and Trade receivables, respectively, in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The contract
liabilities primarily relate to prepaid service contracts, upfront payments for certain equipment purchases or prepaid royalties on intellectual property
arrangements. The amounts recorded for contract liabilities at December 31, 2018 and 2017 were $48 million and $35 million, respectively, of which $42
million and $35 million, respectively, are reported in Other current liabilities and $6 million and $0 million, respectively, are reported in Other long-term liabilities
in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

The 2017 Tax Act was enacted on December 22, 2017. The 2017 Tax Act reduced the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate to 21 percent from 35 percent,
required companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred and created new taxes on
certain foreign-sourced earnings. In 2017 and through December 22, 2018, Kodak recorded provisional amounts for certain enactment-date effects of the 2017
Tax Act because it had not yet completed the enactment-date accounting for these effects. Kodak recorded the following impacts:
Reduction of the U.S. Corporate Income Tax Rate
Kodak’s deferred tax assets and liabilities were remeasured to reflect the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent,
resulting in a $202 million decrease in the Kodak’s net deferred tax assets for the year ended December 31, 2017. This reduction in deferred tax assets was
mainly offset by Kodak’s U.S. valuation allowance except for the impact on deferred tax liabilities related to the goodwill and the Kodak tradename, which
resulted in a benefit of approximately $7 million. An adjustment made to the provisional amount allowed under SAB 118 was identified and recorded as a
discrete adjustment during the year ended December 31, 2018 and was immaterial.
72
Transition Tax on Foreign Earnings
Kodak recognized a provisional income tax expense of $14 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 related to the one-time transition tax on certain
foreign earnings which will be offset by the utilization of foreign tax credits. Upon further analysis of the 2017 Tax Act, Notices and Regulations issued and
proposed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service, Kodak finalized its calculations of the transition tax liability in the year
ended December 31, 2018 resulting in no net tax provision.
The 2017 Tax Act subjects a U.S. shareholder to tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. Under the 2017
Tax Act, an entity can make an accounting policy election to either recognize deferred taxes for temporary basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI in
future years or to provide for the tax expense related to GILTI in the year the tax is incurred as a period expense. Kodak was still evaluating the GILTI
provisions as of December 31, 2017, therefore no GILTI-related deferred amount was recorded as of the year ended December 31, 2017. As of the year
ended December 31, 2018, Kodak has elected to account for GILTI as a period cost in the year the tax is incurred.
The SEC staff issued SAB 118 to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available,
prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act. Kodak
recognized the provisional tax impacts related to deemed repatriated earnings and the re-measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities to the extent
needed and included these amounts in its consolidated financial statements through December 22, 2018, the end of the measurement period for purposes of
SAB 118. Kodak completed its analysis based on legislative updates relating to the 2017 Tax Act available by the end of 2018 resulting in adjustments which
were fully offset by Kodak’s U.S. valuation allowance, resulting in no net tax provision or (benefit).

IRS and Korean National Tax Service Agreement
In June 2012, Kodak filed a Request for Competent Authority Assistance with the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The request related to a
potential double taxation issue with respect to patent licensing royalty payments received by Kodak in 2010. In October 2018, an agreement was reached by
the IRS and Korean National Tax Service, resulting in a partial refund of Korean withholding taxes in the amount of $32 million. Kodak had previously agreed
with the licensee that made the royalty payments that any refunds of the related Korean withholding taxes would be shared equally between Kodak and the
licensee. Kodak received the $16 million net payment in the fourth quarter of 2018. The full $32 million refund was reflected as an income tax benefit in the
fourth quarter of 2018. The $16 million payment to the licensee was reported in other operating expenses, resulting in a net benefit to net income of $16
million.

As of December 31, 2018, Kodak had available domestic and foreign NOL carry-forwards for income tax purposes of approximately $1,503 million, of which
approximately $746 million have an indefinite carry-forward period. The remaining $757 million expire between the years 2019 and 2037. As of December 31,
2018, Kodak had unused foreign tax credits and investment tax credits of $357 million and $48 million, respectively, with various expiration dates through
2033.
Utilization of post-emergence NOL carry-forwards and tax credits may be subject to limitations in the event of significant changes in stock ownership of
the Company in the future. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes annual limitations on the utilization of NOL
carryforwards, other tax carryforwards, and certain built-in losses as defined under that Section, upon an ownership change. In general terms, an
ownership change may result from transactions that increase the aggregate ownership of certain stockholders in Kodak’s stock by more than 50
percentage points over a three-year testing period.
74
The 2017 Tax Act includes a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of cumulative foreign earnings as of December 31, 2017. The one-
time transition tax as of December 31, 2017 resulted in the recognition of a previously recorded deferred tax liability on the undistributed foreign earnings of
$56 million (net of related foreign tax credits) and was fully offset by Kodak’s U.S. valuation allowance, resulting in no net tax benefit. Kodak had deferred tax
liabilities of $22 million and $20 million for potential taxes on the undistributed earnings, including foreign withholding taxes, as of December 31, 2018 and
2017, respectively.
Kodak’s valuation allowance as of December 31, 2018 was $853 million. Of this amount, $155 million was attributable to Kodak’s net deferred tax
assets outside the U.S. of $323 million, and $698 million related to Kodak’s net deferred tax assets in the U.S. of $676 million, for which Kodak
believes it is not more likely than not that the assets will be realized.
During 2018, Kodak determined that it was more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets outside the U.S. would be realized as a result of
increased profits in locations outside the U.S. and accordingly recorded a benefit of $4 million associated with the release of a valuation allowance on those
deferred tax assets. Additionally, during 2018, Kodak determined that it was more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets outside the U.S.
would not be realized due to reduced sales volumes in a location outside the U.S. and accordingly recorded a provision of $15 million associated with the
establishment of a valuation allowance on those deferred tax assets.
Kodak’s valuation allowance as of December 31, 2017 was $856 million. Of this amount, $159 million was attributable to Kodak’s net deferred tax assets
outside the U.S. of $352 million, and $697 million related to Kodak’s net deferred tax assets in the U.S. of $675 million, for which Kodak believes it is not more
likely than not that the assets will be realized.
During 2017, Kodak determined that it was more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets outside the U.S. would be realized as a result of
increased profits in a location outside the U.S. and accordingly, recorded a benefit of $101 million associated with the release of a valuation allowance on
those deferred tax assets. Additionally, during 2017, Kodak determined that it was more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets outside the
U.S. would not be realized due to reduced manufacturing volumes negatively impacting profitability in a location outside the U.S. and accordingly, recorded a
provision of $7 million associated with the establishment of a valuation allowance on those deferred tax assets.
The net deferred tax assets in excess of the valuation allowance of approximately $146 million and $171 million as of December 31, 2018 and December 31,
2017, respectively, relate primarily to NOL carry-forwards, certain tax credits, and pension related tax benefits for which Kodak believes it is more likely than
not that the assets will be realized.

Kodak’s policy regarding interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters is to recognize such items as a component of income tax (benefit) expense.
Kodak had approximately $16 million and $17 million of interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax benefits accrued as of December 31, 2018 and
2017, respectively.
Kodak had uncertain tax benefits of approximately $26 and $29 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, that, if recognized, would affect the
effective income tax rate. Kodak has classified certain income tax liabilities as current or noncurrent based on management’s estimate of when these liabilities
will be settled. The current liabilities are recorded in Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Noncurrent income tax
liabilities are recorded in Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
It is reasonably possible that the liability associated with Kodak’s unrecognized tax benefits will increase or decrease within the next twelve months. These
changes may be the result of settling ongoing audits or the expiration of statutes of limitations. Such changes to the unrecognized tax benefits could range
from $0 to $15 million based on current estimates. Audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements are subject to significant uncertainty. Although
management believes that adequate provision has been made for such issues, there is the possibility that the ultimate resolution of such issues could have an
75
adverse effect on the earnings of Kodak. Conversely, if these issues are resolved favorably in the future, the related provision would be reduced, thus having
a positive impact on earnings.
During 2018, Kodak agreed to terms with a tax authority outside of the U.S. and settled audit issues related to calendar years 2006-2007. Kodak originally
recorded liabilities for uncertain tax positions (“UTPs”) totaling $1 million (plus interest of approximately $1 million). The settlement resulted in a reduction in
Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and other taxes and the recognition of a $2 million tax benefit.
The 2017 Tax Act corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% resulted in the re-measurement of UTPs, reducing a reserve held in the U.S. by approximately
$22 million. UTPs are presented in the financial statements as a reduction to deferred tax assets for a NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit
carryforward. As a result, the reduction of this UTP has been recorded as a reduction in Kodak’s deferred tax asset and is fully offset by valuation allowance,
therefore there is no net tax provision associated with this change.
During 2017, Kodak agreed to terms with a tax authority outside of the U.S. and settled audits for calendar years 2008 through 2012. For these years, Kodak
originally recorded liabilities for a UTP totaling $6 million (plus interest of approximately $2 million). The settlement resulted in a reduction in Other current
liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and the recognition of a $1 million tax benefit.
Kodak is subject to taxation and files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in many state and foreign jurisdictions. Kodak has substantially
concluded all U.S. federal and state income tax matters for years through 2012 with respective tax authorities. Kodak is currently under examination by the
Internal Revenue Service for years 2013 and 2014. With respect to countries outside the U.S., Kodak has substantially concluded all material foreign income
tax matters through 2011 with respective foreign tax jurisdiction authorities.
NOTE 18: RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER
Kodak recognizes the need to continually rationalize its workforce and streamline its operations in the face of ongoing business and economic changes.
Charges for restructuring initiatives are recorded in the period in which Kodak commits to a formalized restructuring plan, or executes the specific actions
contemplated by the plan and all criteria for liability recognition under the applicable accounting guidance have been met.
The activity in the accrued balances and the non-cash charges and credits incurred in relation to restructuring programs during the three years ended

2017 Activity
Restructuring actions taken in 2017 were initiated to reduce Kodak’s cost structure as part of its commitment to drive sustainable profitability and included
actions associated with the Prosper business cost reduction, voluntary workforce transition plans in the U.S., an office closure in Switzerland, the cancellation
of the copper touch screen program, as well as various targeted reductions in manufacturing, service, sales, research and development and other
administrative functions.
As a result of these actions, for the year ended December 31, 2017 Kodak recorded $38 million of charges, including $7 million for inventory write-downs
which was reported in Cost of revenues and $31 million which was reported as Restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of
Operations.
76
The 2017 severance costs related to the elimination of approximately 475 positions, including approximately 225 administrative, 150
manufacturing/service, and 100 research and development positions. The geographic composition of these positions included approximately 325 in the U.S.
and Canada, and 150 throughout the rest of the world.
2018 Activity
Restructuring actions taken in 2018 were initiated to reduce Kodak’s cost structure as part of its commitment to drive sustainable profitability and included cost
rationalization in France, consolidation of R&D sites in Israel, EPS manufacturing cost reductions in Germany, and various targeted reductions in
manufacturing, service, sales, research and development, and other administrative functions.
As a result of these actions, for the year ended December 31, 2018 Kodak recorded $17 million of charges which were reported as Restructuring costs and
other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The 2018 severance costs related to the elimination of approximately 285 positions, including approximately 115 administrative, 100
manufacturing/service, and 70 research and development positions. The geographic composition of these positions included approximately 130 in the U.S.
and Canada, and 155 throughout the rest of the world.
As a result of these initiatives, approximately $2 million of the severance charges will be paid during periods through the end of 2019. The remainder of the
severance payments will be completed by the end of the first half of 2019. The exit cost reserves primarily relate to long-term lease payments, will be paid
throughout 2019 and beyond.
NOTE 19: RETIREMENT PLANS
Substantially all U.S. employees are covered by a noncontributory defined benefit plan, the Kodak Retirement Income Plan (“KRIP”), which is funded by
Company contributions to an irrevocable trust fund. The funding policy for KRIP is to contribute amounts sufficient to meet minimum funding requirements as
determined by employee benefit and tax laws plus any additional amounts the Company determines to be appropriate. Assets in the trust fund are held for
the sole benefit of participating employees and retirees. They are composed of corporate equity and debt securities, U.S. government securities, partnership
investments, interests in pooled funds, commodities, real estate, and various types of interest rate, foreign currency, debt, and equity market financial
instruments.
For U.S. employees hired prior to March 1999, KRIP’s benefits were generally based on a formula recognizing length of service and final average earnings.
KRIP included a separate cash balance formula for all U.S. employees hired after February 1999, as well as employees hired prior to that date who opted in to
the cash balance formula during a special election period. Effective January 1, 2015 the KRIP was amended to provide that all participants accrue benefits
under a single, revised cash balance formula (the “Cash Balance Plan”). The Cash Balance Plan credits employees' hypothetical accounts with an amount
equal to either 7% or 8% of their pay, plus interest based on the 30-year Treasury bond rate.
Many subsidiaries and branches operating outside the U.S. have defined benefit retirement plans covering substantially all employees. Contributions by
Kodak for these plans are typically deposited under government or other fiduciary-type arrangements. Retirement benefits are generally based on contractual
agreements that provide for benefit formulas using years of service and/or compensation prior to retirement. The actuarial assumptions used for these plans
reflect the diverse economic environments within the various countries in which Kodak operates.
Information on the major funded and unfunded U.S. and Non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans is presented below. The composition of the major plans may
vary from year to year. If the major plan composition changes, prior year data is conformed to ensure comparability.
77
The measurement date used to determine the pension obligation for all funded and unfunded U.S. and Non-U.S. defined benefit plans is December 31.

The pension income before special termination benefits reported above for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 each include $1 million which is
reported as Loss from discontinued operations.
The special termination benefits of $5 million and $13 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, were incurred as a result of
Kodak's restructuring actions and, therefore, have been included in Restructuring costs and other in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for those
periods.

The investment strategy underlying the asset allocation for the pension assets is to achieve an optimal return on assets with an acceptable level of risk while
providing for the long-term liabilities and maintaining sufficient liquidity to pay current benefits and other cash obligations of the plans. This is primarily
achieved by investing in a broad portfolio constructed of various asset classes including equity and equity-like investments, debt and debt-like investments,
real estate, private equity and other assets and instruments. Long duration bonds and Treasury bond futures are used to partially match the long-term nature
of plan liabilities. Other investment objectives include maintaining broad diversification between and within asset classes and fund managers and managing
asset volatility relative to plan liabilities.
Every three years, or when market conditions have changed materially, each of Kodak’s major pension plans will undertake an asset allocation or asset and
liability modeling study. The asset allocation and expected return on the plans’ assets are individually set to provide for benefits and other cash obligations
within each country’s legal investment constraints.
Actual allocations may vary from the target asset allocations due to market value fluctuations, the length of time it takes to implement changes in strategy, and
the timing of cash contributions and cash requirements of the plans. The asset allocations are monitored and are rebalanced in accordance with the policy set
forth for each plan.
The total plan assets attributable to the major U.S. defined benefit plans at as of December 31, 2018 relate to KRIP. The expected long-term rate of return on
plan assets assumption (“EROA”) is based on a combination of formal asset and liability studies that include forward-looking return expectations given the
current asset allocation. A review of the EROA as of December 31, 2018, based upon the current asset allocation and forward-looking expected returns for
the various asset classes in which KRIP invests, resulted in an EROA of 6.50%.
As with KRIP, the EROA assumptions for certain of Kodak’s other pension plans were reassessed as of December 31, 2018. The weighted average annual
expected return on plan assets for the major non-U.S. pension plans was 3.86% based on the plans’ respective asset allocations as of December 31, 2018.
Plan Asset Risk Management
Kodak evaluates its defined benefit plans’ asset portfolios for the existence of significant concentrations of risk. Types of concentrations that are evaluated
include, but are not limited to, investment concentrations in a single entity, type of industry, foreign country, and individual fund. Foreign currency contracts
and swaps are used to partially hedge foreign currency risk. Additionally, Kodak’s major defined benefit pension plans invest in government bond futures and
long duration investment grade bonds to partially hedge the liability risk of the plans. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were no significant
concentrations (defined as greater than 10% of plan assets) of risk in Kodak’s defined benefit plan assets.

Fair Value Measurements
Kodak’s asset allocations by level within the fair value hierarchy at December 31, 2018 and 2017 are presented in the tables below for Kodak’s major defined
benefit plans. Kodak’s plan assets are accounted for at fair value and are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is
significant to the fair value measurement, with the exception of investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share expedient.
Kodak’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value of
assets and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
Assets not utilizing the net asset value per share expedient are valued as follows: Equity and debt securities traded on an active market are valued using a
market approach based on the closing price on the last business day of the year. Real estate investments are valued primarily based on independent
appraisals and discounted cash flow models, taking into consideration discount rates and local market conditions. Cash and cash equivalents are valued
utilizing cost approach valuation techniques. Other investments are valued using a combination of market, income, and cost approaches, based on the nature
of the investment. Private equity investments are valued primarily based on independent appraisals, discounted cash flow models, cost, and comparable
market transactions, which include inputs such as discount rates and pricing data from the most recent equity financing. Insurance contracts are primarily
valued based on contract values, which approximate fair value. For investments with lagged pricing, Kodak uses the available net asset values, and also
considers expected return, subsequent cash flows and relevant material events.

For Kodak’s major U.S. defined benefit pension plans, equity investments are invested broadly in U.S. equity, developed international equity, and emerging
markets. Fixed income investments are comprised primarily of long duration U.S. Treasuries and investment-grade corporate bonds. Real estate investments
primarily include investments in limited partnerships that invest in office, industrial, retail and apartment properties. Global Balanced Asset Allocation
investments are commingled funds that hold a diversified portfolio of passive market exposures, including equities, debt, currencies and commodities.
Absolute return investments are comprised of a diversified portfolio of hedge funds using equity, debt, commodity, and currency strategies held separate from
the derivative-linked hedge funds described later in this footnote. Private equity investments are primarily comprised of limited partnerships and fund-of-fund
investments that invest in distressed investments, venture capital, leveraged buyouts and special situations. Natural resource investments in oil and gas
partnerships and timber funds are also included in this category.

For Kodak’s major non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans, equity investments are invested broadly in local equity, developed international and emerging
markets. Fixed income investments are comprised primarily of government and investment grade corporate bonds. Real estate investments primarily include
investments in limited partnerships that invest in office, industrial, and retail properties. Global Balanced Asset Allocation investments are commingled funds
that hold a diversified portfolio of passive market exposures, including equities, debt, currencies and commodities. Absolute return investments are comprised
of a diversified portfolio of hedge funds using equity, debt, commodity, and currency strategies held separate from the derivative-linked hedge funds described
later in this footnote. Private equity investments are comprised of limited partnerships and fund-of-fund investments that invest in distressed investments,
venture capital and leveraged buyouts. Insurance contracts are typically annuities from life insurance companies covering specific pension obligations.
For Kodak’s major defined benefit pension plans, certain investment managers are authorized to invest in derivatives such as futures, swaps, and currency
forward contracts. Investments in derivatives are used to obtain desired exposure to a particular asset, index or bond duration and require only a portion of the
total exposure to be invested as cash collateral. In instances where exposures are obtained via derivatives, the majority of the exposure value is available to
be invested, and is typically invested, in a diversified portfolio of hedge fund strategies that generate returns in addition to the return generated by the
derivatives. Of the December 31, 2018 investments shown in the major U.S. plans table above, 5% of the total pension assets represented equity securities
exposure obtained via derivatives and are reported in equity securities, and 30% of the total pension assets represented U.S. government bond exposure with
12 years duration, obtained via derivatives and are reported in government bonds. Of the December 31, 2017 investments shown in the major U.S. plans
table above, 2% of the total pension assets represented equity securities exposure obtained via derivatives and are reported in equity securities, and 31% of
the total pension assets represented U.S. government bond exposure with 13 years duration, obtained via derivatives and are reported in government bonds.
Of the December 31, 2018 investments shown in the major Non-U.S. plans table above, 0% and 7% of the total pension assets represented derivative
exposures to equity securities and government bonds with 5 years duration and are reported in those respective classes. Of the December 31, 2017
investments shown in the major Non-U.S. plans table above, 0% and 7% of the total pension assets represented derivative exposures to equity securities and
government bonds with 7 years duration and are reported in those respective classes.

NOTE 21: EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are calculated using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per
share calculations include any dilutive effect of potential common shares. In periods with a net loss from continuing operations, diluted earnings per share are
calculated using weighted-average basic shares for that period, as utilizing diluted shares would be anti-dilutive to loss per share.
A reconciliation of the amounts used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 follows (in millions):
(Loss) earnings from continuing operations attributable to Eastman
Kodak Company
Less: Series A convertible preferred stock cash and accrued dividends

As a result of the net loss from continuing operations available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2018, Kodak calculated diluted
earnings per share using weighted-average basic shares outstanding. If Kodak reported earnings from continuing operations available to common
shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2018, the calculation of diluted earnings per share would have included the assumed conversion of 0.3 million
unvested restricted stock units.
The computation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 excluded the impact of (1) the assumed conversion of 2.0
million shares of Series A convertible preferred shares, and (2) the assumed conversion of 5.2 million and 4.8 million outstanding employee stock options,
respectively, because they would have been anti-dilutive. In addition, the computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2017
excluded the impact of (1) the assumed conversion of net share settled warrants to purchase 1.8 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$14.93 and (2) the assumed conversion of net share settled warrants to purchase 1.8 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $16.12 because
they would have been anti-dilutive. The warrants terminated at the close of business on September 3, 2018.
NOTE 22: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Kodak’s stock incentive plan is the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”). The 2013 Plan is administered by the Executive Compensation Committee
of the Board of Directors.

Officers, directors and employees of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are eligible to receive awards. Stock options are generally non-qualified,
are at exercise prices equal to or greater than the closing price of Kodak’s stock on the date of grant and expire seven years after the grant date. Stock-based
compensation awards granted under Kodak’s stock incentive plan are generally subject to a three-year vesting period from the date of grant, or a later date as
determined by the Executive Compensation Committee. Awards are subject to settlement in newly-issued shares of common stock. Unless sooner
terminated by the Executive Compensation Committee, no awards may be granted under the 2013 Plan after May 22, 2028.
The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2013 Plan is approximately 5.8 million. In addition, under the 2013 Plan, the
maximum number of shares available for the grant of incentive stock options is 2.0 million shares. The maximum number of shares as to which stock options
or stock appreciation rights may be granted to any one person under the 2013 Plan in any calendar year is 2.0 million shares. The maximum number of
performance-based compensation awards that may be granted to any one employee under the 2013 Plan in any calendar year is 1.0 million shares or, in the
event such award is paid in cash, $2.5 million. The maximum number of awards that may be granted to any non-employee director under the 2013 Plan in any
calendar year may not exceed a number of awards with a grant date fair value of $900,000, computed as of the grant date.
Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service or performance period for each separately vesting tranche of the award and is
adjusted for actual forfeitures before vesting. Kodak assesses the likelihood that performance-based shares will be earned based on the probability of meeting
the performance criteria. For those performance-based awards that are deemed probable of achievement, expense is recorded, and for those awards that are
deemed not probable of achievement, no expense is recorded. Kodak assesses the probability of achievement each quarter.
Restricted Stock Units
Restricted stock units are payable in shares of the Company common stock upon vesting. The fair value is based on the closing market price of the
Company’s stock on the grant date. Compensation cost related to restricted stock units was $2 million and $4 million for the years ended December 31, 2018
and 2017, respectively.
The weighted average grant date fair value of restricted stock unit awards granted for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $3.66 and $9.20,
respectively. The total fair value of restricted stock units that vested was $3 million and $7 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017,
respectively. As of December 31, 2018, there was $1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock units. The cost is expected to be
recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years.

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pretax intrinsic value that option holders would have received had all option holders exercised their options
on the last trading day of the year. The aggregate intrinsic value is the difference between the Kodak closing stock price on the last trading day of the year and
the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options.
There was no intrinsic value of options outstanding, exercisable or expected to vest due to the fact that the market price of the Company’s common stock as of
December 31, 2018 and 2017 was below the weighted average exercise price of options. There were no options exercised in 2018 or 2017.
88
The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $2.47 and $2.26, respectively. The total
fair value of options that vested during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $5 million and $4 million, respectively. Compensation cost related
to stock options for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $4 million and $5 million, respectively.
As of December 31, 2018, there was $2.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options. The cost is expected to be recognized over a
weighted average period of 1.4 years.
Kodak utilizes the Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the fair value of stock options. Public trading of the Company’s common stock began on
September 23, 2013, providing limited historical data upon which to base assumptions. The expected term of options granted is the period of time the options
are expected to be outstanding and is calculated using a simplified method based on the option’s vesting period and original contractual term. The Company
uses only the historical volatility of the Company’s stock to estimate expected volatility. The risk-free rate was based on the yield on U.S. Treasury notes with a
term equal to the option’s expected term.
The following inputs were used for the valuation of option grants issued in each year:
Weighted-average fair value of options granted
Weighted-average risk-free interest rate
Range of risk-free interest rates
Weighted-average expected option lives
Expected option lives
Weighted-average volatility
Range of expected volatilities

Net Share Settled Warrants
Upon emergence from bankruptcy in September 2013, the Company issued to the holders of general unsecured claims and the retiree settlement unsecured
claim net-share settled warrants to purchase: (i) 2.1 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $14.93 and (ii) 2.1 million shares of common stock
at an exercise price of $16.12. The warrants were classified as equity instruments and reported within Additional paid in capital in the Consolidated Statement
of Financial Position at their fair value at emergence ($24 million). The warrants terminated at the close of business on September 3, 2018.
Treasury Stock
During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company repurchased shares of common stock for $0 million and $1 million, respectively, to satisfy
tax withholding obligations in connection with the issuance of stock to employees under the 2013 Plan. Treasury stock consisted of approximately 0.6 million

Backstop Registration Rights Agreement
Upon emergence from bankruptcy on September 3, 2013 (“Effective Date”), the Company and GSO Capital Partners LP, on behalf of various managed funds,
BlueMountain Capital Management, LLC, on behalf of various managed funds, George Karfunkel, United Equities Commodities Company, Momar Corporation
and Contrarian Capital Management, LLC, on behalf of Contrarian Funds, LLC (collectively, the “Backstop Parties”) executed a registration rights agreement
(the “Backstop Registration Rights Agreement”). The Backstop Registration Rights Agreement, among other rights, provides the Backstop Parties with certain
registration rights with respect to common stock offered to the Backstop Parties (and other eligible creditors) as part of a rights offering (the “Backstop
registrable securities”). A portion of the shares issued in the rights offerings are restricted securities for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933
and may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred absent registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or an applicable exemption from registration
requirements.
Stockholders holding Backstop registrable securities representing 10% of the outstanding common stock at emergence may require the Company to facilitate
a registered offering of Backstop registrable securities (such offering, the “Initial Registration”). The Backstop registrable securities requested to be sold in the
Initial Registration must have an aggregate market value of at least $75 million. On October 20, 2016, the Initial Registration, in the form of a shelf registration
statement registering all Backstop registerable securities, was declared effective by the SEC.
89
Following the Initial Registration, stockholders holding 10% or more of the outstanding Backstop registrable securities may demand that the Company file a
shelf registration statement and effectuate one or more takedowns off of such shelf, or, if a shelf is not available, effectuate one or more stand-alone registered
offerings, provided that such non-shelf registered offerings or shelf takedowns may not be requested more than four times and, in each case, shall include
shares having an aggregate market value of at least $75 million. Beginning on the second anniversary of the Effective Date, upon request of a stockholder, the
Company shall amend its existing shelf registration statement to register additional Backstop registrable securities as set forth in the Registration Rights
Agreement. Stockholders also have the right to include their Backstop registrable securities in the Initial Registration or any other non-shelf registered offering
or shelf takedown of the common stock by the Company for its own account or for the account of any holders of common stock.

Segment Measure of Profit and Loss
Kodak’s segment measure of profit and loss is an adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Operational EBITDA”). As
demonstrated in the table below, Operational EBITDA represents the earnings (loss) from continuing operations excluding the provision (benefit) for income
taxes; depreciation and amortization expense; restructuring costs and other; stock-based compensation expense; consulting and other costs; idle costs; other
operating expense (income), net (unless otherwise indicated); goodwill impairment loss; interest expense; pension income excluding service cost component
and other charges, net.
Kodak’s segments are measured using Operational EBITDA both before and after allocation of corporate selling, general and administrative expenses
(“SG&A”). The segment earnings measure reported is after allocation of corporate SG&A as this most closely aligns with U.S. GAAP. Research and
development activities not directly related to the other segments are reported within the Advanced Materials and 3D Printing Technology segment.
91
Change in Segment Measure of Profit and Loss
During the first quarter of 2018 the segment measure was changed to exclude amortization of prior service costs and credits which, due to the adoption of
ASU 2017-17, are no longer reported in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. Refer to the
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements section of Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements.”
2019 Segments
Change in Segments
Effective in January 2019 Kodak changed its organizational structure. Kodak Technology Solutions, formerly part of the Software and Solutions segment, was
moved into the Consumer and Film segment. The Consumer and Film segment was renamed the Brand, Film & Imaging segment. The Unified Workflow
Solutions business, formerly part of the Software and Solutions segment, will operate as a dedicated segment named Kodak Software segment.
Change in Segment Measure of Profitability
During the first quarter of 2019 the segment measure was changed to exclude the costs, net of any rental income received, of underutilized portions of certain
properties. Additionally, the allocation of costs from Eastman Business Park (“EBP”) to the Consumer and Film segment and Advanced Materials and 3D
Printing Technology segment as tenants of EBP and to each of the segments as users of shared corporate space at the global headquarters is changing.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Kodak maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Kodak’s reports filed or submitted
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms,
and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including Kodak’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Kodak’s management, with participation of Kodak’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of Kodak’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report
on Form 10-K. Kodak’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on
Form 10-K, Kodak’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The management of Kodak is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Kodak’s internal control over
financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Kodak’s internal control over financial
reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of Kodak; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of Kodak
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of Kodak; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Kodak’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations.
Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment or breakdowns
resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override.
Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial
reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process
safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of Kodak’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018. In making this assessment,
management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in "Internal Control-Integrated
Framework” (2013). Based on management’s assessment using the COSO criteria, management has concluded that Kodak's internal control over financial
reporting was effective as of December 31, 2018. The effectiveness of Kodak’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018 has been
audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Kodak’s independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, refer to Item 8. Financial Statement
and Supplementary Data.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change identified in Kodak’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during Kodak’s fourth fiscal quarter that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Kodak’s internal control over financial reporting.

NOTICE OF THE 2019 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
The Annual Meeting of Shareholders (Annual Meeting) of Eastman Kodak Company will be held on Wednesday, May 22, 2019
at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time at The Benjamin, 125 East 50th Street, New York, New York 10022. We are asking our shareholders
to vote on the following proposals at the Annual Meeting:
1. Election of the seven directors named in the Proxy Statement for a term of one year or until their successors are duly
elected and qualified.
2. Advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers.

The Board of Directors recommends you vote FOR each of the nominees listed in Proposal 1
and FOR Proposals 2 and 3.
If you held your shares at the close of business on March 28, 2019, you are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
We follow the Securities and Exchange Commission’s “e-proxy” rules that allow public companies to furnish proxy materials to
their shareholders over the internet. These rules allow us to provide you with the information you need, while lowering the cost
of delivery and reducing the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting.
If you have any questions about the Annual Meeting, please contact: Shareholder Services, Eastman Kodak Company,
343 State Street, Rochester, NY 14650-0235, (585) 724-4053, e-mail: shareholderservices@kodak.com. The Annual
Meeting will be accessible by the handicapped. If you require special assistance, please contact Shareholder Services.

Roger W. Byrd
General Counsel, Secretary and Senior Vice President

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Shareholder Meeting to be held on May 22, 2019.
The Notice of 2019 Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement and 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K
are available at www.edocumentview.com/KODK.
(This page intentionally left blank.)
PROXY STATEMENT
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Q. Why am I receiving these proxy materials?
A. Our Board of Directors (the Board) is providing these proxy materials to you on the internet, or has delivered printed
versions to you by mail, in connection with Kodak’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the Annual Meeting), which
will take place on Wednesday, May 22, 2019. As a shareholder, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and are
entitled and requested to vote on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement. We are making these proxy
materials available to you on or about April 9, 2019.
Q. What is included in these proxy materials?
A. These proxy materials include:
• Our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K; and
• Notice of 2019 Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement.
If you received printed versions of the proxy materials by mail, these proxy materials also include a proxy card.
Q. What am I voting on?
A. The Board is soliciting your proxy in connection with the Annual Meeting to be held on Wednesday, May 22, 2019 at
9:00 a.m. Eastern Time at The Benjamin, 125 East 50th Street, New York, New York 10022, and any adjournment or
postponement thereof. You are voting on the following proposals:
1. Election of the seven directors named in this Proxy Statement for a term of one year or until their successors are duly
elected and qualified.
2. Advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers.
3. Ratification of the Audit and Finance Committee’s selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent
registered public accounting firm.
The Board recommends you vote FOR each of the director nominees listed in Proposal 1 and FOR Proposals 2 and 3.
Q. Why did I receive a one-page notice in the mail regarding the internet availability of proxy materials instead of
a full set of proxy materials?
A. We follow the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the SEC) “e-proxy” rules that allow public companies to furnish
proxy materials to shareholders over the internet. The “e-proxy” rules remove the requirement for public companies to
automatically send shareholders a full, printed copy of proxy materials and allow them instead to deliver to their
shareholders a “Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials” (the Notice of Internet Availability) and to provide
online access to the documents. As a result, we mailed the Notice of Internet Availability to many of our shareholders
on or about April 9, 2019.
The Notice of Internet Availability provides instructions on how to:
• View our proxy materials for the Annual Meeting on the internet and vote; and
• Request a printed copy of the proxy materials.
In addition, shareholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by e-mail on an
ongoing basis. Choosing to receive your future proxy materials by e-mail will save us the cost of printing and mailing
documents to you and will reduce the environmental impact of printed materials.
Q. Why didn’t I receive a notice in the mail about the internet availability of the proxy materials?
A. We are providing some of our shareholders, including those who have previously requested to receive paper copies of
the proxy materials, with paper copies of the proxy materials instead of the Notice of Internet Availability.
In addition, we are providing the Notice of Internet Availability by e-mail to those shareholders who have previously elected
delivery of the proxy materials electronically. Those shareholders should have received an e-mail containing a link to the
website where the proxy materials are available.
Q. Where can I view the proxy materials on the internet?
A. We are making this Proxy Statement and voting instructions available to shareholders on or about April 9, 2019, at
www.edocumentview.com/KODK. We are also making our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K available at the same
time and by the same method. The 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K is not a part of the proxy solicitation material
and is not incorporated herein by reference.

Q. How can I receive a printed copy of the proxy materials?
A. Shareholder of Record. You may request a printed copy of the proxy materials by any of the following methods:
• Telephone: within the U.S.A., U.S. territories and Canada, call toll-free at 1-866-641-4276; or outside of the
U.S.A., U.S. territories and Canada, call collect at 1-781-575-3170;
• Internet at www.envisionreports.com/KODK; or
• E-mail at investorvote@computershare.com. Reference “Proxy Materials Eastman Kodak Company” in the
subject line. In the message, include your full name and address, the number located in the shaded bar on the
Notice of Internet Availability/proxy card, and state that you want to receive a paper copy of current and/or
future meeting materials.
Beneficial Owner. You may request a printed copy of the proxy materials by following the instructions provided to you by
your broker, trustee or nominee.
Q. What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner?
A. Most of our shareholders hold their shares through a broker or other nominee (beneficial owner) rather than directly in
their own name (shareholder of record). As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shareholders of
record and beneficial owners.
Shareholder of Record. If your shares are registered in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare, you are
considered the shareholder of record of these shares, and we are making these proxy materials available directly to you. As
a shareholder of record, you have the right to give your voting proxy to our management or a third party, or to vote in person
at the Annual Meeting.
Beneficial Owner. If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by another nominee, you are considered the beneficial
owner of shares held in “street name,” and your broker, trustee or nominee is making these proxy materials available to you
together with a voting instruction form. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, trustee or nominee
on how to vote your shares. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. Your broker, trustee or nominee has
enclosed or provided voting instructions for you to use in directing the broker, trustee or nominee on how to vote your
shares. Since a beneficial owner is not the shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual
Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, trustee or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to
vote the shares in person at the Annual Meeting. In order to vote your shares, you must either: 1) obtain a legal proxy that
gives you the right to vote the shares in person at the Annual Meeting; or 2) provide voting instructions to your broker.
Q. Will any other matters be voted on?
A. We are not aware of any other matters that shareholders will be asked to vote on at the Annual Meeting. If any other
matter is properly brought before the Annual Meeting, the named proxies, James V. Continenza and Roger W. Byrd,
will vote for you on such matter in their discretion. New Jersey law (under which the Company is incorporated) requires
that you be given notice of all matters to be voted on, other than procedural matters such as adjournment of the Annual
Meeting.
Q. How do I vote?
A. Shareholder of Record. If you are a shareholder of record, there are four ways to vote:
• By internet at www.envisionreports.com/KODK. We encourage you to vote this way.
• By touch tone telephone: within the U.S.A., U.S. territories and Canada, call toll-free at 1-800-652-VOTE
(8683); or outside the U.S.A., U.S. territories and Canada, call collect at 1-781-575-2300.
• By completing and mailing your proxy card.
• By written ballot at the Annual Meeting.
Beneficial Owner. If you are a beneficial owner, please follow the voting instructions sent to you by your broker, trustee or
nominee.
Whether you are a shareholder of record or a beneficial owner, your shares will be voted as you indicate.
2
Q. What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions?
A. Shareholder of Record. If you are a shareholder of record and you:
• Indicate when voting on the internet or by telephone that you wish to vote as recommended by our Board; or
• Sign and return a proxy card without giving specific voting instructions,
then the named proxies, James V. Continenza and Roger W. Byrd, will vote your shares in the manner
recommended by our Board (i.e., FOR each of the director nominees named in Proposal 1 and FOR Proposals 2
and 3) and in their discretion with respect to any other matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting.
Beneficial Owner. If you do not provide your broker, trustee or nominee with specific voting instructions, or if you do not
obtain a legal proxy that gives you the right to vote the shares in person at the Annual Meeting, your shares will not be voted
or counted with respect to Proposals 1 and 2, which are non-routine proposals. Your broker, trustee or nominee has
discretionary authority to vote your uninstructed shares with respect to Proposal 3, which is a routine proposal. Uninstructed
shares with respect to which your broker does not have discretionary authority are known as “broker non-votes.”
Q. What is the deadline for voting my shares?
A. Shareholder of Record. If you are a shareholder of record and vote by internet or telephone, your vote must be
received by 1:00 a.m. Eastern Time, on May 22, 2019, the morning of the Annual Meeting. If you are a shareholder of
record and vote by mail or by written ballot at the Annual Meeting, your vote must be received before the polls close at
the Annual Meeting.
Beneficial Owner. If you are a beneficial owner, please follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, trustee or
nominee. You may vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting only if you obtain a legal proxy from your broker,
trustee or nominee and present it at the Annual Meeting before the polls close.
Q. Who can vote?
A. You must be a shareholder of record or a beneficial owner as of the close of business on March 28, 2019, the record
date for the Annual Meeting. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. Holders of 5.50% Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock (Series A convertible preferred stock) are entitled to vote upon all matters upon which
holders of common stock have the right to vote, and are entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of full
shares of common stock into which such shares of Series A convertible preferred stock could be converted at the then
applicable conversion rate at the record date. Such votes will be counted together with shares of common stock and
not separately as a class. As of the record date, each share of Series A convertible preferred stock is convertible into
5.7471 shares of common stock.
Q. How can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?
A. Shareholder of Record. If you are a shareholder of record, you can change your vote or revoke your proxy before the
Annual Meeting by:
• Entering a timely new vote by internet or telephone;
• Returning a later-dated proxy card;
• Notifying Roger W. Byrd, Secretary; or
• Completing a written ballot at the Annual Meeting.
Beneficial Owner. If you are a beneficial owner, please follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, trustee or
nominee.
3
Q. What vote is required to approve each proposal?
A. The following table describes the voting requirements for each proposal:
Proposal 1 - Election of Directors
Proposal 2 - Advisory Vote to Approve the Compensation of
our Named Executive Officers
As set forth in our By-laws, the Board has adopted a majority
voting standard for uncontested director elections. Because
the number of nominees properly nominated for the Annual
Meeting is the same as the number of directors to be elected
at the Annual Meeting, the 2019 election of directors is an
uncontested election.
To be elected in an uncontested election, a director nominee
must be elected by a majority of the votes cast with respect to
that director nominee. A majority of the votes cast means that
the number of votes cast FOR a nominee’s election must
exceed the number of votes cast AGAINST the nominee’s
election. Each nominee receiving more votes FOR his or her
election than votes AGAINST his or her election will be
elected.
To be approved, this proposal must receive the affirmative
vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by
holders entitled to vote thereon.
Proposal 3 - Ratification of the Audit and Finance Committee’s
Selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To be approved, this proposal must receive the affirmative
vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by
holders entitled to vote thereon.
Q. How are votes counted?
A. For Proposal 1, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” with respect to each of the nominees. In tabulating the
voting results for the election of directors, only “FOR” and “AGAINST” votes are counted. If you elect to abstain in the
election of directors, the abstention will not impact the outcome of the election. Broker non-votes are not counted and
will not impact the outcome of the vote.
You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” with respect to Proposals 2 and 3. In tabulating the voting results for these
proposals, “FOR” and “AGAINST” votes are counted. For Proposals 2 and 3, abstentions are not counted and will not
impact the outcome of the vote. With respect to Proposal 2, broker non-votes are not counted and will not impact the
outcome of the vote. A broker will have discretionary authority to vote on Proposal 3 relating to the ratification of the
selection of our independent registered public accounting firm.
Q. Who will count the vote?
A. Computershare will count the votes. A representative from Computershare will serve as the inspector of election.
Q. Who can attend the Annual Meeting?
A.
If you held your shares as of the close of business on March 28, 2019, the record date for the Annual Meeting, you can
attend the Annual Meeting.
Q. What do I need to do to attend the Annual Meeting?
A. To attend the Annual Meeting, please follow these instructions:
• If you vote by internet or telephone, follow the instructions provided for attendance.
• If you vote by using a proxy card, check the appropriate box on the card.
• If you are a beneficial owner, bring your legal proxy from your broker, trustee or nominee as well as proof of
identity in the form of a government-issued ID to the registration area.
• To enter the Annual Meeting, bring the Admission Ticket attached to your proxy card or printed from the
internet as well as proof of identity in the form of a government-issued ID to the registration area.
• If you do not have an Admission Ticket, go to the registration area upon arrival.
Seating at the Annual Meeting is limited and will be on a first-come, first-served basis. We may take photographs and
videotape at the Annual Meeting, which we may use in publications. If you attend the Annual Meeting, we assume we have
your permission to use your image.
4
Q. Can I bring a guest?
A. Yes. If you plan to bring a guest to the Annual Meeting, follow the instructions on the internet or telephone or check the
appropriate box on your proxy card. When you go through the registration area at the Annual Meeting, your guest must
register with you and must present proof of identity in the form of a government-issued ID.
Q. What is the quorum requirement of the Annual Meeting?
A. The holders of shares entitled to cast a majority of the votes on March 28, 2019 will constitute a quorum for voting at
the Annual Meeting. If you vote, your shares will be part of the quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be
counted in determining the quorum. On March 28, 2019, there were 42,974,257 shares of our common stock
outstanding and 2,000,000 shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock outstanding. As of the record date, each
share of Series A convertible preferred stock is convertible into 5.7471 shares of common stock and holders are
entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of full shares of common stock into which such shares of Series A
convertible preferred stock could be converted. Accordingly, holders entitled to cast 27,234,229 votes will constitute a
quorum for the Annual Meeting.
Q. Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?
A. We intend to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and disclose final results in a Form 8-K to be
filed with the SEC within four business days of the Annual Meeting. If final results are not available at such time, the
Form 8-K will disclose preliminary results, to be followed with an amended Form 8-K when final results are available.
Q. Can I nominate someone to the Board?
A. Our By-laws provide that any shareholder can nominate a person for election to the Board so long as the shareholder
follows the procedure outlined in our By-laws as summarized below. This is the procedure to be followed for direct
nominations, as opposed to recommendations of nominees for consideration by our Corporate Governance and
Nominating Committee. The complete description of the procedure for shareholder nominations of director candidates
is contained in our By-laws. You can request a copy of the full text of this By-law provision by writing to our Secretary
at our principal executive offices. Our By-laws can also be accessed at http://investor.kodak.com/supporting.cfm.
For purposes of summarizing this procedure, we have assumed: 1) the date of the upcoming annual meeting is within 30
days of the anniversary of the annual meeting for the previous year and 2) if the size of the Board is to be increased, that
both the name of the director nominee and the size of the increased Board are publicly disclosed at least 100 days prior to
the first anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting. Based on these assumptions, a shareholder desiring to
nominate one or more candidates for election at the next annual meeting must deliver written notice of such nomination to
our Secretary, at our principal executive office, not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of
the preceding year’s annual meeting. Accordingly, for our 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the 2020 Annual Meeting),
notice of nomination must be delivered to our Secretary no earlier than January 23, 2020 and no later than February 22,
2020.
The written notice to our Secretary must contain the following information with respect to each nominee: 1) the proposing
shareholder’s name and address; 2) the number of shares owned of record and beneficially by the proposing shareholder;
3) the name of the person to be nominated; 4) the number of shares owned of record and beneficially by the nominee; 5) a
description of all relationships, arrangements and understandings between the shareholder and the nominee and any other
person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination is to be made by the shareholder;
6) such other information regarding the nominee as would have been required to be included in the proxy statement filed
pursuant to the proxy rules of the SEC had the nominee been nominated, or intended to be nominated, by the Board, such
as the nominee’s name, age and business experience; and 7) the nominee’s signed consent to serve as a director if so
elected.
Persons nominated in accordance with this procedure will be eligible for election as directors at the 2020 Annual Meeting.
Q. What is the deadline to propose actions for consideration at the 2020 Annual Meeting?
A. For a shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement for the 2020 Annual Meeting, the
Secretary must receive the written proposal at our principal executive office no later than the close of business on
December 11, 2019. Proposals received after this date will be considered untimely. Proposals must comply with SEC
regulations under Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), regarding the
inclusion of shareholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials. Proposals should be addressed to:
5
Secretary
Eastman Kodak Company
343 State Street
Rochester, NY 14650-0224
For a shareholder proposal that is not intended to be included in our proxy statement under Rule 14a-8, the shareholder
must provide the information required by our By-laws and give timely notice to the Secretary in accordance with our
By-laws, which, in general, require that the notice be received by the Secretary:
• No earlier than the close of business on January 23, 2020; and
• No later than the close of business on February 22, 2020.
If the date of the shareholder meeting is moved more than 30 days before or 30 days after the anniversary of the 2019
Annual Meeting, then notice of a shareholder proposal that is not intended to be included in our proxy statement under
Rule 14a-8 must be received no earlier than the close of business 120 days prior to the anniversary of the 2019 Annual
Meeting and no later than the close of business on the later of the following two dates:
• 90 days prior to the meeting; and
• 10 days after public announcement of the meeting date.
You may contact our Secretary at our principal executive office for a copy of the relevant By-law provisions regarding the
requirements for shareholder proposals. Our By-laws can also be accessed at http://investor.kodak.com/supporting.cfm.

A. We will bear all costs related to this proxy solicitation. We will reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians,
nominees, trustees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of shares for their reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to such beneficial owners. Our directors, officers and

PROPOSAL 1
PROPOSAL 1 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Our By-laws require us to have at least seven but no more than 13 directors. In light of the sale of the Company’s Flexographic
Packaging Division and upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (Governance
Committee), the number of directors, which is set by the Board, has been reduced from nine to seven, effective as of the Annual
Meeting. Mr. Continenza, our Executive Chairman, is the only director who is an employee of the Company.
The following six directors are standing for re-election, having been elected at the previous annual meeting and upon the
recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (Governance Committee): Richard Todd Bradley,
James V. Continenza, Jeffrey D. Engelberg, George Karfunkel, Jason New and William G. Parrett. In connection with the
reduction in the size of the Board, Messrs. Burgess and Doheny, current directors of the Company, are not standing for re-
election at the Annual Meeting. In addition to the directors standing for re-election, upon the recommendation of the Governance
Committee, the Board has nominated Philippe D. Katz as a director of the Company. Mr. Katz was appointed to the Board on
February 20, 2019.
Messrs. Bradley and Engelberg are nominees designated in connection with the Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 7,
2016, among Kodak, Southeastern Asset Management, Inc. (Southeastern) and Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund, C2W
Partners Master Fund Limited and Deseret Mutual Pension Trust, which are investment funds managed by Southeastern (such
investment funds collectively, the Purchasers), whereby the Purchasers have the right to nominate at the Company’s annual
meetings members to the Company’s Board of Directors proportional to the Purchasers’ share ownership on an as-converted
basis, currently allowing the Purchasers to nominate two members to the Board.
If elected, all of the nominees for director will serve a one year term or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.
Information about the director nominees is provided in the section entitled “Board of Directors and Corporate Governance” in this
Proxy Statement.
If a nominee is unable to stand for election, the Board may reduce the number of directors or choose a substitute. If the Board
chooses a substitute, the shares represented by proxies will be voted for the substitute. If a director retires, resigns, dies or is
unable to serve for any reason, the Board may reduce the number of directors or elect a new director to fill the vacancy.
Director nominees are elected by a majority of votes cast. Each director nominee who receives more “FOR” than “AGAINST”
votes cast for his election will be elected.
If a director nominee receives a greater number of votes “AGAINST” his election than votes “FOR” such election, the Board will
decide whether to accept the irrevocable letter of resignation the nominee submitted as a condition of being nominated to the
Board in accordance with our Majority Vote Policy.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the election of each of the director nominees.

DIRECTOR AND NOMINEE INDEPENDENCE
The Board has determined that each of the following directors has no material relationship with us (either directly or as a partner,
shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us) and is independent under our Director Independence
Standards and the independence standards of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE): Richard Todd Bradley, Mark S. Burgess,
Matthew A. Doheny, Jeffrey D. Engelberg, George Karfunkel, Philippe D. Katz, Jason New and William G. Parrett. As our
employee and former employee, respectively, James V. Continenza, our Executive Chairman, and Jeffrey J. Clarke, our Chief
Executive Officer and director until February 2019, are not independent. In determining the independence of the non-
management directors, the Board considered Mr. Karfunkel’s shareholdings and the affiliations of Messrs. Bradley, Engelberg,
Katz and New, as affiliates of entities that hold an equity interest in our company (discussed under Certain Relationships and
Related Transactions), and determined that such shareholdings and affiliations did not affect the independence of these directors
and nominees.
The Board has adopted Director Independence Standards for use in determining whether a director is independent. The Director
Independence Standards are consistent with NYSE independence standards. The Board also uses the NYSE independence
standards in determining whether members of specific committees are independent. The Director Independence Standards are part
of our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are posted on our website at http://investor.kodak.com/supporting.cfm.
BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE
The Board recognizes that one of its key responsibilities is to determine the most appropriate leadership structure for our
company and to ensure independent oversight of management. James V. Continenza serves as our Executive Chairman.
Following Mr. Clarke’s departure, the Board decided to have the same person perform the roles of Chairman and principal
executive officer in order to best ensure oversight of our company and management and provide a unified structure ensuring
strong and consistent leadership. The Company does not have a lead independent director. Instead, in accordance with our
11
Corporate Governance Guidelines, our independent directors are required to meet in executive session without management
and, at each such session, an independent director chosen by the independent directors will preside at such executive session.
COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD
The Board has established an Audit and Finance Committee, Executive Compensation Committee and Corporate Governance
and Nominating Committee. We describe below the composition and functions of, and number of meetings held during 2018 by,
each of these committees.

“audit committee financial expert,” as defined by SEC rules.
The Audit and Finance Committee assists the Board in overseeing and making recommendations to the Board on such matters
as: the integrity of our financial statements; our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; our independent registered
public accounting firm’s selection, compensation, retention, performance and evaluation, including assessing the firm’s
qualifications and independence; our systems of disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial
reporting; and the performance of our internal audit function. The Audit and Finance Committee charter is posted on our website
at http://investor.kodak.com/supporting.cfm.
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee
The current members of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (Governance Committee) are Richard Todd
Bradley, Mark S. Burgess, Philippe D. Katz, and Jason New, Chair. Some of the primary duties of the Governance Committee
are to oversee our corporate governance structure, which includes the development of our Corporate Governance Guidelines,
recommend individuals to the Board for nomination as members of the Board and its committees, determine director
independence, lead the Board in its periodic review of Board performance and review “Interested Transactions” in accordance
with our Related Party Transactions Policies and Procedures. The Governance Committee charter is posted on our website at
http://investor.kodak.com/supporting.cfm.
Executive Compensation Committee
The current members of the Executive Compensation Committee are Richard Todd Bradley, Mark S. Burgess, Chair, Philippe D.
Katz, and Jason New, all of whom the Board has determined are independent under NYSE listing standards.
12
The Executive Compensation Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities in connection with the compensation of
our chief executive officer and Section 16 Executive Officers, including our named executive officers. The Executive
Compensation Committee also reviews and makes recommendations to the Board from time to time regarding compensation of
directors, among other responsibilities. The Executive Compensation Committee charter is posted on our website at
http://investor.kodak.com/supporting.cfm.
For more information regarding the role of the Executive Compensation Committee and management in determining executive
and director compensation, please see “Executive Compensation” and “Director Compensation” in this Proxy Statement.
In accordance with its charter, the Executive Compensation Committee may delegate authority to one or more subcommittees or
management as it deems fit. The Executive Compensation Committee has delegated limited authority to our Chief Human
Resources Officer to assist in the administration of executive compensation and equity-based compensation plans. Except as a
plan may otherwise provide, the Executive Compensation Committee has authorized the Chief Human Resources Officer to
amend any executive compensation or equity-based compensation plan in which our named executive officers participate, other
than to materially increase the benefits accruing to a participant under the plan, increase the number of shares available for
issuance under the plan or substantially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation under the plans. In addition, the
Chief Human Resources Officer is authorized to amend any award agreement and related documents under the plans, other
than to increase the benefits accruing to a participant.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE OVERVIEW
Ethical business conduct and good corporate governance are well-established practices at Kodak. We practice good corporate
governance and believe it to be a prerequisite to delivering sustained, long-term value to our shareholders. We continually
monitor developments in the area of corporate governance to develop and implement best practices. Strong corporate
governance is a fundamental goal of our Board.
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines reflect the principles by which our Board operates. From time to time, the Board reviews
and revises our Corporate Governance Guidelines in response to regulatory requirements and evolving best practices. Our
Corporate Governance Guidelines are posted on our website at http://investor.kodak.com/supporting.cfm.
BUSINESS CONDUCT GUIDE AND DIRECTORS’ CODE OF CONDUCT
Our reputation and our brand have been built by more than a century of ethical business conduct. All of our employees, including
the Executive Chairman, the Chief Financial Officer, the Controller, all other senior financial officers and all other Section 16
Executive Officers, as defined under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (a Section 16 Executive Officer), are required to comply
with our code of conduct, the “Business Conduct Guide.” We also have a Directors’ Code of Conduct. Our Business Conduct
Guide and our Directors’ Code of Conduct are posted on our website at http://investor.kodak.com/supporting.cfm.
GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
Meeting Attendance
Our Board has a Director Attendance Policy that is part of our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which is posted on our website
at http://investor.kodak.com/supporting.cfm. Under this policy, all of our directors are strongly encouraged to attend all Board
meetings and our Annual Meeting of Shareholders. In 2018, the Board held a total of 11 meetings. Each director attended more
than 75% of the meetings of the Board and committees of the Board on which the director served. All of our then serving
directors attended the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 22, 2018.
Executive Sessions
Each executive session of our non-management directors is chaired by an independent director, chosen by the independent
directors to preside at such executive session.
Communications with Our Board
Shareholders and interested parties who wish to communicate with the Board, the independent directors as a group or an
individual director, may send an e-mail to our Executive Chairman at chairman@kodak.com or may send a letter to our Executive
Chairman or to the independent directors c/o Secretary, Eastman Kodak Company, 343 State Street, Rochester, NY 14650-
0224. Communications received will be forwarded to the Board, the independent directors as a group or the individual director as
directed, unless the communication is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal, does not reasonably relate to the Company or its
business, or is similarly inappropriate. The Executive Chairman and the directors have authority to disregard any inappropriate
communications or to take other appropriate actions with respect to any such inappropriate communications.
13
Consideration of Director Candidates
The Governance Committee will consider nominations for director candidates recommended by its members, other Board
members, management, shareholders and the search firms it retains. The Governance Committee reviews all potential
candidates under our Director Selection Process and Qualification Standards described below.
Shareholders wishing to recommend candidates for consideration by the Board may do so by providing the following information,
in writing, to the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board, c/o Secretary, Eastman Kodak Company, 343
State Street, Rochester, NY 14650-0224: 1) the name, address and telephone number of the shareholder making the request; 2)
the number of shares owned, and, if such person is not a shareholder of record or if such shares are held by an entity,
reasonable evidence of such person’s ownership of such shares or such person’s authority to act on behalf of such entity; 3) the
full name, address and telephone number of the individual being recommended, together with a reasonably detailed description
of the background, experience and qualifications of that individual; 4) a signed acknowledgement by the individual being
recommended that he or she has consented to: a) serve as director if elected and b) the Company undertaking an inquiry into
that individual’s background, experience and qualifications; 5) the disclosure of any relationship of the individual being
recommended with the Company, whether direct or indirect; and 6) if known to the shareholder, any material interest of such
shareholder or individual being recommended in any proposals or other business to be presented at the next Annual Meeting of
Shareholders (or a statement to the effect that no material interest is known to such shareholder).
Director Selection Process and Qualification Standards
The Governance Committee is responsible for identifying, screening and recommending candidates for Board membership.
When reviewing a potential candidate for the Board, the Governance Committee looks to whether the candidate possesses the
necessary qualifications to serve as a director. To assist it in these determinations, the Governance Committee has adopted
Director Qualification Standards and a Director Selection Process, which are posted as part of our Corporate Governance
Guidelines on our website at http://investor.kodak.com/supporting.cfm.
The Director Qualification Standards specify that, in addition to any other factors described in the Company’s Corporate
Governance Guidelines, the Board should at a minimum consider the following factors, as more fully described in our Director
Qualification Standards, in the nomination or appointment of members of the Board: integrity, reputation, judgment, knowledge,
experience, maturity, commitment, skills, track record, diversity (including with respect to gender, race, ethnicity and sexual
orientation), age, independence and ownership stake. The Governance Committee, in accordance with its Director Selection
Process, will then consider the candidate’s qualifications in light of the needs of the Board and our company at that time, given
the then-current mix of director attributes and the Board’s projected strengths and future needs. Based on the Governance
Committee’s results of the assessment of Board needs, they may develop a target candidate profile. As provided in our
Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Governance Committee seeks to create a multi-disciplinary Board that, as a whole, is
strong in both its knowledge and experience. The Governance Committee may use the services of a third-party executive search
firm, as well as the personal network of the Board and senior management, and considers any previously recommended
nominees when identifying and evaluating possible nominees for director. The search firm assists in identifying candidates who
meet the skills and qualifications specified by the Governance Committee. A list of preferred candidates is developed and
presented to the full Board, including the Executive Chairman, for review and input. Interest on the part of the potential
candidate is gauged and an interview and reference check are performed. The full Board makes a determination with respect to
the candidate. Candidates that are successfully elected to the Board participate in orientation sessions to familiarize them with
our business. The Board has a mandatory retirement age of 72, unless an extension is approved by the Board, but in no event
above age 75. In April 2019, the Board approved a waiver of the mandatory retirement age for Mr. Parrett for a one-year period.
Although the Governance Committee does not have a formal policy regarding the consideration of diversity in the selection of
candidates, the Governance Committee considers diversity when evaluating possible nominees under our Director Qualification
Standards, which provide that the Board should be a diverse body, with diversity reflecting gender, ethnic background, race,
sexual orientation, country of citizenship and professional experience. In addition, the Governance Committee and the Board
evaluate diversity as part of the Board’s periodic evaluation process.
Strategic Role of Board
The Board plays a key role in developing, reviewing and overseeing the execution of our business strategy. The Board receives
progress reports from management throughout the year on the implementation of the strategic plan, including business segment
performance and strategy reviews for each of our key businesses, product line reviews and presentations regarding research
and development initiatives and our intellectual property portfolio.
14
Succession Planning
The entire Board reviews our succession plans for our Executive Chairman and other key senior management positions and
oversees our activities in the areas of leadership and executive development. To assist the Board, management periodically
reports to the Board on succession planning to ensure that it is a continuous and ongoing effort.
Majority Voting for Directors
Our By-laws provide for majority voting in uncontested director elections.
We also maintain a Majority Vote Policy that requires a director nominee, in connection with his or her nomination to the Board,
to submit a resignation letter in which the director nominee irrevocably elects to resign if he or she fails to receive the required
majority vote in the next election and the Board accepts the resignation. The policy requires the Board to nominate for election or
re-election as a director only those candidates who agree to execute such a letter upon his or her nomination. The Majority Vote
Policy is posted on our website at http://investor.kodak.com/supporting.cfm.
If a director nominee fails to receive a majority vote in an uncontested election, the Majority Vote Policy provides that the
Governance Committee will consider the resignation letter and recommend to the Board whether to accept it. The Governance
Committee, in making its recommendation to the Board, and the Board, in reaching its decision, may consider relevant factors,
including any stated reason why shareholders voted against the election of the director, the director’s qualifications, the director’s
past and expected future contributions to us, the overall composition of the Board and whether accepting the resignation letter
would cause us to fail to comply with any applicable rule, such as the NYSE’s listing standards.
The policy provides that the Board will act on the Governance Committee’s recommendation and publicly disclose its decision
whether to accept the director’s letter of resignation within 90 days following the certification of the shareholder vote. If the letter
of resignation is not accepted by the Board within this 90-day period, the resignation will not be effective until the next annual
meeting.
All seven director nominees standing for election at the Annual Meeting have submitted an irrevocable letter of resignation as a
condition of nomination pursuant to the Majority Vote Policy.
Risk Management
Our Board oversees an enterprise-wide approach to risk management, designed to support the achievement of our objectives,
including strategic objectives, to improve long-term performance and enhance shareholder value. A fundamental part of risk
management is not only identifying and prioritizing the risks we face and monitoring the steps management is taking to manage
those risks, but also determining the level of risk that is appropriate for us. As an integral part of its review and approval of our
strategic plan, the Board considers the appropriate level of risk that is acceptable. Through this process, the Board assesses risk
throughout the Company, focusing on four primary risk categories: strategic, operational (including with respect to cybersecurity),
legal/compliance and financial reporting. The Audit and Finance Committee is responsible for reviewing the results of our
enterprise risk assessment on an annual basis. The Board also receives reports on management’s progress in mitigating key
risks.
The Board has delegated to its committees responsibility for the oversight of risk management in specific risk areas. For
example, in 2018, the committees of the Board oversaw:
• Risk management relating to our financial reporting (including internal controls).
• Risk management relating to our compensation programs and awards.
• Risk management relating to our capital structure.
• Risk management relating to our insurance and pension programs.
• Risk management relating to cybersecurity.
15
REPORT OF THE AUDIT AND FINANCE COMMITTEE
Management is responsible for our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures, and preparation
of our consolidated financial statements. Our independent registered public accounting firm (independent accountants),
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), is responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements
and of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States) (PCAOB) and for issuing a report of the results. As outlined in its charter, the Audit and Finance
Committee is responsible for overseeing these processes.
During 2018, the Audit and Finance Committee met and held discussions with management and the independent accountants on
a regular basis. Management represented to the Audit and Finance Committee that our consolidated financial statements were
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Audit and Finance
Committee reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements and significant accounting matters with
management and the independent accountants.
The Audit and Finance Committee discussed with the independent accountants the matters required to be discussed under
auditing standards established from time to time by the PCAOB and by SEC rules. The Audit and Finance Committee has
received from the independent accountants the written disclosures and letter required by the applicable requirements of the
PCAOB regarding the independent accountants’ communications with the Audit and Finance Committee concerning
independence. The Audit and Finance Committee discussed with the independent accountants their independence.
The Audit and Finance Committee also received reports from our Chief Compliance Officer on the implementation and
effectiveness of our compliance program.
The Audit and Finance Committee discussed with the director of internal audit and independent accountants the plans for their
audits. The Audit and Finance Committee met with the director of internal audit and independent accountants, with and without
management present. The director of internal audit and independent accountants discussed with or provided to the Audit and
Finance Committee the results of their examinations, their evaluations of our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure
controls and procedures, and the quality of our financial reporting.
Based on these reviews, discussions and reports, the Audit and Finance Committee recommended that the Board approve the
audited financial statements for inclusion in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and the
Board accepted the Audit and Finance Committee’s recommendations.
The Audit and Finance Committee, with the approval of the Board and the ratification of our shareholders, appointed PwC as our
independent accountants in 2018. In addition, the Audit and Finance Committee approved certain non-audit services provided by
PwC and the estimated budget for those services. The Audit and Finance Committee has adopted an Audit and Non-Audit
Services Pre-Approval Policy.

one-half of the grant date value in the form of RSUs and the other half of the grant date value in the form of stock options with an
exercise price equal to the closing share price on the grant date, both of which were to vest one-third upon the first, second and
third anniversary of the grant date. Upon Ms. Underberg’s separation from the Company on January 15, 2019, these equity
awards were forfeited.
Non-Equity Incentive Compensation
For 2018, we provided an annual variable incentive opportunity, known as Executive Compensation for Excellence and
Leadership (EXCEL). We assign target opportunities under EXCEL based on a percentage of base salary, which were
determined as part of the named executive officer’s employment agreement. The 2018 full-year EXCEL target opportunity as a
percentage of base salary for Messrs. Clarke and Mahe and Ms. Underberg were 100%, 60% and 50%, respectively.
We established three performance gates as part of the EXCEL program: (a) compliance with our financial covenants contained in
the September 3, 2013 exit financing arrangements; (b) breakeven cash before debt pay down, including cash from asset sales;
and (c) Company Operational EBITDA of at least $65M (after bonus accrual). The performance goals under the EXCEL program
18
for 2018 were Operational EBITDA (60% weighting) and Revenue (40% weighting). For the 2018 plan year, the Company also
introduced division level metrics to provide greater focus and associated rewards for division performance. All division level
metrics were a combination of Operational EBITDA and revenue with varied weightings.
None of our named executive officers earned an EXCEL payment for 2018 because all of the performance gates were not
achieved. We complied with the financial covenants contained in the September 3, 2013 exit financing arrangements but did not
satisfy the other two performance gates.
For 2018, we approved a new annual incentive program referred to as the Supplemental Bonus Plan. This plan provided
incentive opportunities based on the achievement of pre-determined Company financial metrics (40% weighting) and specific
deliverables associated with key value drivers (60% weighting). Target annual incentive opportunities under the Supplemental
Bonus Plan were identical to the EXCEL program. None of our named executive officers earned a payout under the
Supplemental Bonus Plan based on overall Company performance for 2018.
Employment Agreements

Tax-Qualified Retirement Plans
Employees’ Savings and Investment Plan (SIP)
We offer a tax-qualified 401(k) defined contribution plan known as the Employees’ Savings and Investment Plan (SIP) for all U.S.
employees. Employer contributions to SIP were frozen as of January 1, 2015.
Kodak Retirement Income Plan (KRIP)
We fund a tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan known as the Kodak Retirement Income Plan (KRIP) for all U.S. employees.
Effective January 1, 2000, we amended KRIP to include a cash balance component. KRIP’s cash balance component covers
employees hired before March 1, 1999 who elected that coverage and all new U.S. employees hired on or after March 1, 1999,
including Mr. Clarke. Ms. Underberg participated in KRIP’s traditional defined benefit component.
On January 1, 2015, we froze all benefit accruals in the traditional component of KRIP for all participants. Beginning on that
date, all future accruals in KRIP are made under the cash balance component for all participating employees in an amount equal
to 7% of the employee’s monthly pay, which was previously 4% for cash balance participants. Consequently, accruals for Ms.
Underberg after that date were made under that component.
Cash Balance Component
Under KRIP’s cash balance component, a hypothetical account is established for each participating employee and, for every
month the employee works, the employee’s account is credited with an amount equal to 7% of the employee’s monthly pay (i.e.,
base salary and EXCEL awards, including allowances in lieu of salary for authorized periods of absence, such as illness,
vacation or holidays). Prior to January 1, 2015, the cash balance component provided a credit of 4% of an employee’s monthly
pay. In addition, the ongoing balance of the employee’s account earns interest at the 30-year Treasury bond rate. Before 2015,
employees vested in their account balance after completing three years of service. Beginning on January 1, 2015, all active
employees were immediately vested. Vested benefits under the cash balance component are payable upon normal retirement
(age 65), termination or death. Participants in the cash balance component of the plan may choose from among various forms of
benefits such as a lump sum, a joint and survivor annuity and a straight life annuity.
Traditional Defined Benefit Component
Under the traditional defined benefit component of KRIP, which was frozen as of January 1, 2015, benefits are based upon a
participating employee’s average participating compensation (APC). The plan defines APC as one-third of the sum of the
employee’s participating compensation for the highest consecutive 39 periods of earnings over the 10 years ending immediately
prior to the earlier of December 31, 2014, retirement, or termination of employment. Participating compensation is base salary
and any EXCEL award, including allowances in lieu of salary for authorized periods of absence, such as illness, vacation or
holidays.
For a participating employee with up to 35 years of accrued service, the annual normal retirement income benefit is calculated by
multiplying the employee’s years of accrued service by the sum of: (a) 1.3% of APC, plus (b) 1.6% of APC in excess of the
average Social Security wage base. For an employee with more than 35 years of accrued service, the amount is increased by
1% for each year in excess of 35 years.
The retirement income benefit is not subject to any deductions for Social Security benefits or other offsets. Participants in the
traditional defined benefit component of the plan may choose from among optional forms of benefits such as a straight life
annuity, a qualified joint and 50% survivor annuity, other forms of annuity or a lump sum.
An employee may be eligible for normal retirement, early retirement benefits, vested benefits or disability retirement benefits
under the traditional defined benefit component depending on the employee’s age and total service when employment with us
ends. An employee is entitled to normal retirement benefits at age 65. For early retirement benefits, an employee must have
reached age 55 and have at least 10 years of service or, for certain employees, have a combined age and total service equal to
75. Generally, the benefit is reduced if payment begins before age 65.
As of December 31, 2018, none of our named executive officers were eligible for normal retirement benefits under the traditional
defined benefit component of KRIP because they were each younger than age 65. Ms. Underberg was eligible for early
retirement benefits, as she was age 55 or older with 10 or more years of service.
Non-Qualified Retirement Plans
Ms. Underberg was the only named executive officer eligible to receive benefits under the Kodak Unfunded Retirement Income
Plan (KURIP). KURIP was an unfunded retirement plan designed to provide our U.S. employees with pension benefits that
(1) made up for the Internal Revenue Code’s (the Code) limitations on allocations and benefits that may be paid under KRIP and
SIP, and (2) recognize deferred compensation that is ignored when calculating benefits under KRIP and SIP.
21
Benefits due under KURIP were payable upon a participating employee’s termination of employment or death. Upon our
emergence from bankruptcy, KURIP was terminated and, as a result, each participating employee’s pre-petition benefit was
settled in the form of an equity distribution, consistent with treatment for other similarly situated general unsecured creditors, and
post-petition benefits were calculated using September 3, 2013 as the hypothetical last day of employment with us. The post-
petition benefit is frozen and payable as a lump sum upon the participating employee’s termination of employment with us (less
applicable withholding).
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
None of our named executive officers have non-qualified deferred compensation.

PROPOSAL 2
PROPOSAL 2 - ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE
OFFICERS
Our named executive officers are identified in the “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement. Pursuant to
Section 14A of the Exchange Act, you are voting on a proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, which gives our
shareholders the opportunity to endorse or not endorse our named executive officer pay programs and policies through the
following resolution:
RESOLVED, that the shareholders approve the compensation of Eastman Kodak Company’s named executive officers, as
disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s
Proxy Statement for the 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
We believe that our executive compensation program is designed to attract, motivate and retain individuals with the skills
required to achieve our business objectives. Our compensation strategy is to provide opportunities to incentivize and reward our
named executive officers when they deliver defined performance results that are based on success in a diverse set of
businesses. We also align the interests of our executives with those of our shareholders and our long-term interests through
stock ownership. We believe that the compensation of our named executive officers for 2018 was appropriate and aligned with
our performance results and strategic plan.
In order to be approved on an advisory basis, this proposal must receive the affirmative vote of the majority of votes cast by
holders entitled to vote thereon. Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding on our Board of Directors. However, our
Board values the opinions that our shareholders express in their votes and will take into account the outcome of the vote when
considering future executive compensation arrangements as it deems appropriate.
The Board of Directors recommends you vote FOR the advisory resolution approving the compensation of
our named executive officers.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
INTERESTED TRANSACTIONS
Our Board has adopted written policies and procedures relating to approval or ratification of “interested transactions” with “related
parties.” Under these policies and procedures, which are posted on our website at http://investor.kodak.com/supporting.cfm, our
Governance Committee reviews the material facts of all interested transactions that require the committee’s approval. The
Governance Committee will approve or disapprove the interested transactions, subject to certain exceptions, by taking into account,
among other factors it deems appropriate, whether the interested transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally
available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related person’s interest in the
transaction. No director or board observer may participate in any discussion or approval of an interested transaction for which he or
she is a related party, other than providing material information concerning the interested transaction to the Governance
Committee. If an interested transaction will be ongoing, the Governance Committee may establish guidelines for our management
to follow in its ongoing dealings with the related party and then, at least annually, must review and assess ongoing relationships
with the related party.
Under the Board’s policies and procedures, an “interested transaction” is any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or series
of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness), in which the
aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $100,000, our company is a participant and any related party has
or will have a direct or indirect interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of
another entity). A “related party” is any person who is or was, since the beginning of the last fiscal year for which we have filed a
Form 10-K and proxy statement, a Section 16 Executive Officer, director or nominee for election as a director or board observer
(even if the person does not presently serve in that role), a beneficial owner of greater than 5% of our common stock or any
immediate family member of any of the foregoing. Immediate family member includes a person’s spouse, parents, stepparents,
children, stepchildren, siblings, mothers- and fathers-in-law, sons- and daughters-in-law, brothers- and sisters-in-law and anyone
residing in such person’s home (other than a tenant or employee).
The Board has granted standing pre-approval or ratification for the categories of interested transactions described below. In
addition, any interested transaction with a related party in which the aggregate amount involved is expected to be less than
$120,000 may be pre-approved by the Chair of the Governance Committee. Pre-approved interested transactions include:
• Employment of Section 16 Executive Officers either if the related compensation is required to be reported or if
the Section 16 Executive Officer is not an immediate family member of another Section 16 Executive Officer or
a director, and the related compensation would be reported if the Section 16 Executive Officer was a “Named
Executive Officer” and our Executive Compensation Committee approved (or recommended that the Board
approve) such compensation.
• Any compensation paid to a director if the compensation is required to be reported.
• Any transaction with another company with which a related person’s only relationship is as an employee (other
than an executive officer), director or beneficial owner of less than 10% of that company’s shares, if the
aggregate amount involved does not exceed the greater of $1 million or 2% of that company’s total annual
revenues.
• Any charitable contribution, grant or endowment by our company to a charitable organization, foundation or
university with which a related person’s only relationship is as an employee (other than an executive officer) or
a director, if the aggregate amount involved does not exceed the greater of $1 million or 2% of the charitable
organization’s total annual receipts.
• Any transaction where the related person’s interest arises solely from the ownership of our common stock and
all holders of our common stock received the same benefit on a pro rata basis (e.g., dividends).
• Any transaction involving a related party where the rates or charges involved are determined by competitive
bids.
• Any transaction with a related party involving the rendering of services as a common or contract carrier, or
public utility, at rates or charges fixed in conformity with law or governmental authority.
• Any transaction with a related party involving services as a bank depository of funds, transfer agent, registrar,
trustee under a trust indenture or similar services.
32
The Governance Committee reviews pre-approved transactions at its regularly scheduled meetings and considered the following
related party relationships and interests as follows:
• Messrs. Karfunkel and New, each of whom is a current director, are principals of or affiliated with entities that
hold an equity interest in our company by virtue of a Backstop Commitment Agreement that we entered into
effective upon our emergence from bankruptcy in September 2013. Mr. Karfunkel holds approximately 6.4% of
our outstanding common stock (including through a charitable foundation controlled by Mr. Karfunkel). Mr. New
is a Senior Managing Director of The Blackstone Group L.P. The Blackstone Group L.P. may be deemed to
hold approximately 20.8% of our outstanding common stock.
• Messrs. Bradley and Engelberg are directors designated by the purchasers of the Company’s Series A
convertible preferred stock pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement dated as of November 7, 2016
between the Company, Southeastern and certain investment funds managed by Southeastern. Mr. Engelberg
is the managing member of Additive Advisory and Capital, LLC, which receives management fees from C2W
Partners Master Fund Limited, one of the purchasers of the Series A convertible preferred stock. Southeastern
may be deemed to hold approximately 30.2% of our outstanding common stock and C2W may be deemed to
hold approximately 2.2% of our outstanding common stock.
• Mr. Katz, a current director, is affiliated with Momar Corporation, an entity in which Mr. Katz has an ownership
interest, United Equities Commodities Company, an entity of which Mr. Katz is a general partner, Marneu
Holding Company, an entity of which Mr. Katz is a partner, KF Investors LLC, an entity of which Mr. Katz is a
managing member, and 111 John Realty Corp., an entity in which Mr. Katz has an ownership interest, each of
which holds an equity interest in our company. As a result, Mr. Katz holds an indirect interest in approximately
4.7% of our outstanding common stock.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES
AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT FEES
The following fees were approved by the Audit and Finance Committee and were billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC),
our independent registered public accounting firm (independent accountants), for services rendered in 2018 and 2017.

(1) Estimated; subject to finalization.
The audit fees in 2018 and 2017 related primarily to the annual audit of our consolidated financial statements (including Section
404 internal control assessment under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) included in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, quarterly
reviews of interim financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q, and statutory audits of certain of our
subsidiaries.
Tax fees in 2018 and 2017 were for tax compliance and consulting services.
All other fees for 2018 and 2017 related to non-audit related compliance services.
POLICY REGARDING PRE-APPROVAL OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY OUR INDEPENDENT
ACCOUNTANTS
The Audit and Finance Committee has adopted an Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the Pre-Approval Policy)
requiring the Audit and Finance Committee’s pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the
independent accountants. The Pre-Approval Policy sets forth principles that must be considered by the Audit and Finance
Committee in approving services to ensure that the independent accountant’s independence is not impaired; describes the audit,
audit-related, tax and other permissible non-audit services that may be provided and the non-audit services that are prohibited;
and sets forth the pre-approval requirements for all permitted services.
The Pre-Approval Policy provides for the general pre-approval of specific types of audit, audit-related, tax and other permissible
non-audit services and annual approval of a budget for such services. As set forth in the Pre-Approval Policy, unless a type of
service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit and Finance Committee. In addition,
any proposed services exceeding pre-approved budgeted amounts will also require specific pre-approval by the Audit and
Finance Committee. The independent accountant is required to report quarterly to the Audit and Finance Committee regarding
the extent of services provided in accordance with their pre-approval and the fees for the services performed to date. The Pre-
Approval Policy also delegates to the Audit and Finance Committee’s Chair the authority to pre-approve specific engagements or
changes to engagements when it is not practical to bring the matter before the Committee as a whole. The Audit and Finance
Committee may not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent accountant to
management or to others.
In 2018 and 2017, the Audit and Finance Committee pre-approved all services performed by PwC.

PROPOSAL 3
PROPOSAL 3 - RATIFICATION OF THE AUDIT AND FINANCE COMMITTEE’S SELECTION OF
PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
The Audit and Finance Committee is directly responsible for the selection, compensation, retention, performance and evaluation
of our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit and Finance Committee assesses the selection of the
independent registered public accounting firm each year. In addition, the Audit and Finance Committee considers the
independence of the independent registered public accounting firm each year.
PWC has been our independent registered public accounting firm for many years. After consideration of a number of factors,
including the length of time the firm has served in this role, the firm’s past performance, and an assessment of the firm’s
qualifications and resources, the Audit and Finance Committee has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent
registered public accounting firm to serve a one-year term beginning on the date of the Annual Meeting.
A representative of PWC is expected to attend the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions and, if he or she desires,
make a statement.
As a matter of good corporate governance, the Audit and Finance Committee has determined to submit its selection of the
independent registered public accounting firm to our shareholders for ratification. In the event that the selection of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not ratified, the Audit and Finance Committee will review its future selection of an independent
registered public accounting firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit and Finance Committee in its discretion may select a
different registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best
interests of the Company and our shareholders.
The ratification of the Audit and Finance Committee’s selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP requires the affirmative vote of a
majority of the votes cast by holders entitled to vote thereon.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR ratification of the Audit and Finance Committee’s selection
of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm.
