Kodak is a global technology company focused on print and advanced materials and chemicals. Kodak provides industry-leading hardware,
software, consumables and services primarily to customers in commercial print, packaging, publishing, manufacturing and entertainment. Kodak is
committed to environmental stewardship and ongoing leadership in developing sustainable solutions. Its broad portfolio of superior products,
responsive support and world-class R&D make Kodak solutions a smart investment for customers looking to improve their profitability and drive
growth.
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
Print Systems
Kodak has six reportable segments: Print Systems, Enterprise Inkjet Systems, Kodak Software, Brand, Film and Imaging, Advanced Materials and
3D Printing Technology and Eastman Business Park.
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.
Kodak seeks to mitigate the impact of increases in 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 on 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

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 (“OEM”) 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 OEMs 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 closed on the first sale of a writing system for use in a packaging application in
December of 2019 with Uteco Group. Uteco Group is integrating 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.

On September 1, 2019 Kodak established a strategic relationship with Lucky HuaGuang Graphics Co. Ltd (“HuaGuang”) in the People’s Republic of
China. The relationship is comprised of an agreement under which Kodak sold its shares of the Kodak (China) Graphic Communication Co. Ltd.
entity, which included the offset printing plates facility in Xiamen, China, and related assets and liabilities, to HuaGuang; a supply agreement from
HuaGuang to Kodak; and a license agreement under which Kodak licensed its plates technology to HuaGuang to sell into the plates market in China.
For further information on the relationship with HuaGuang, refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations under Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“MD&A”) and Note 30, “Assets Held for Sale” in the Financial Statements and

applications like direct mail, newspapers, books, and packaging/labels. Key competitors are HP, Canon, Ricoh, and Screen.
Enterprise Inkjet Systems
•
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 (“OEM”) 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 OEMs 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 closed on the first sale of a writing system for use in a packaging application in
December of 2019 with Uteco Group. Uteco Group is integrating 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.
The KODAK VERSAMARK Products are the predecessor products to the PROSPER business. 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, 2019 and 2018.

Net sales for Motion Picture and Industrial Film and Chemicals accounted for 14% and 12% of Kodak’s total net revenue for the years ended
December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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. Product solutions in Advanced Materials and 3D Printing are in the process of being
commercialized, and there are new business opportunities with identified markets and customers.
The Advanced Materials and 3D Printing Technology segment will also pursue partnership opportunities to commercialize functional materials and
printed electronics technologies. These partnerships may include non-recurring engineering payments for Kodak efforts to further develop such
technologies into products. The Advanced Materials and 3D Printing Technology segment also provides a wide range of analytical services to
external clients at market rates.
•
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. Currently, the
primary focus is on light blocking particles for the textile market.
•
3D Printing:
•
3D Printing concentrates on partnership and/or licensing opportunities in micro 3D printing solutions such as printed electronics. In
addition, for macro 3D printing AM3D manufactures and sells a specialty material to a 3D printing customer.
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 eighteen months 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. While most raw materials are generally available from multiple sources, certain key electronic components 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.
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 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.

•
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. Two
tenants represented approximately 40% of total Eastman Business Park segment revenues in 2019.
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.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
EMPLOYMENT

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 and make
an investment in its securities risky. 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, stock price 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.
The ability to generate positive operating cash flows will be necessary for Kodak to continue to operate its business.
The positive cash flow from operations generated by Kodak in 2019 were derived from working capital improvements and individual transactions
which occurred during the year and are not expected to be recurring. Kodak has not generated positive operating cash flows without supplementing
such cash flow from operations with monetization transactions over the past several 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 segment is its largest segment and has had
declining revenues and segment earnings which are expected to continue to decline. 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 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.
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, the 5% Secured Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) and the 5.50% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A
Preferred Stock”), or to fund Kodak’s other liquidity needs, including working capital, capital expenditures, product development efforts, restructuring
actions, strategic acquisitions, investments and alliances and other general corporate requirements. Its film manufacturing facilities are aged and
without significant updates to equipment and systems will be more prone to failure. Capital improvements are planned but there is risk to
manufacturing operations especially due to the complexity of the processes and technology and the loss of knowledge as employees leave who are
familiar with the processes and technology. The longer these updates are delayed the higher the risk due to equipment failures, further
obsolescence and additional loss of employees with the specific knowledge base.
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;

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.
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 in Print, Advanced Materials, and Chemicals. These investment areas include offset plates and CTP devices,
digital printing using commercial inkjet and electrophotography, high resolution functional printing for electronic and optical solutions, specialty
chemicals, and smart materials for light control and 3D printing. 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 Kodak 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 Kodak is unsuccessful in
growing its investment businesses as planned, or perceiving the needs of its target customers, its financial performance could be adversely affected.
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, together with tariffs that may be imposed, 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 and other raw materials and components imported by Kodak, tariffs imposed from time to time may give rise to future cost
increases. Tariffs or duties may also be imposed on exported products produced by Kodak, making such products less competitive in jurisdictions
imposing such tariffs or duties. 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 extreme volatility, including as a result of the global outbreak of the coronavirus formally known as COVID-19. Economic conditions
could accelerate any decline in demand for products, which could also place pressure on its results of operations and liquidity. In particular, if the
coronavirus has a significant impact on the printing industry it could adversely impact the demand for Kodak’s products. 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, including as a result of the coronavirus, 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, Consistent with the outcome of this referendum, the UK left the EU on January 31, 2020. Thus, the UK is no longer a member of the EU;
however, the UK will continue to be subject to EU rules and remain a member of the single market and customs union during an implementation
period. The implementation period runs to December 31, 2020 but may be extended for up to two years. The UK government is negotiating with the
EU on trade and other terms for such exit. Leaving without any agreement on such terms would lead to disruption to UK/EU trade. However, Kodak
has put appropriate plans in place for continuity of supply and purchase of products, although there is likely to be some limited cost impact
The uncertainty concerning 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 the 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 Kodak’s
control but may cause it to adjust its strategy in order to compete effectively in global markets and could adversely affect its business, financial
condition, operating results and cash flows.

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.
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 in Print, Advanced Materials, and Chemicals. These investment areas include offset plates and CTP devices,
digital printing using commercial inkjet and electrophotography, high resolution functional printing for electronic and optical solutions, specialty
chemicals, and smart materials for light control and 3D printing. 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 Kodak 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 Kodak is unsuccessful in
growing its investment businesses as planned, or perceiving the needs of its target customers, its financial performance could be adversely affected.
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, together with tariffs that may be imposed, 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 and other raw materials and components imported by Kodak, tariffs imposed from time to time may give rise to future cost
increases. Tariffs or duties may also be imposed on exported products produced by Kodak, making such products less competitive in jurisdictions
imposing such tariffs or duties. 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 extreme volatility, including as a result of the global outbreak of the coronavirus formally known as COVID-19. Economic conditions
could accelerate any decline in demand for products, which could also place pressure on its results of operations and liquidity. In particular, if the
coronavirus has a significant impact on the printing industry it could adversely impact the demand for Kodak’s products. 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, including as a result of the coronavirus, 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, Consistent with the outcome of this referendum, the UK left the EU on January 31, 2020. Thus, the UK is no longer a member of the EU;
however, the UK will continue to be subject to EU rules and remain a member of the single market and customs union during an implementation
period. The implementation period runs to December 31, 2020 but may be extended for up to two years. The UK government is negotiating with the
EU on trade and other terms for such exit. Leaving without any agreement on such terms would lead to disruption to UK/EU trade. However, Kodak
has 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 uncertainty concerning 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 the 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 Kodak’s
control but may cause it to adjust its strategy in order to compete effectively in global markets and could adversely affect its 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;
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, new generations of Sonora
offset plates, and small particle technology) 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, all of 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.

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 materials and supplies and the ability to acquire materials and 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.
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 needs
and preferences, its revenue, earnings and cash flow could be adversely affected.
Kodak serves imaging/print needs for business markets, including graphic communications, packaging, 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.
Increased competition, including price competition, could have a material adverse impact on Kodak’s revenue, gross margins, cash flow
and market share.
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
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.

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

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

•
• maintain an adequate control environment;

•
• mitigate the impact of labor shortages and/or other disruptions.
Kodak makes 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.
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:
Certain of Kodak’s critical business functions, including its manufacturing and field service operations, cannot be performed remotely, and an inability
of Kodak’s employees to physically work at its or its customers locations due to government restrictions, health concerns or illness may disrupt its
operations, perhaps significantly. Kodak has already experienced some disruptions in its manufacturing and logistics operations due to the
coronavirus outbreak. The full extent to which the coronavirus outbreak impacts Kodak’s results will depend on future developments, which are
highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at the time of this filing, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the
coronavirus and the actions taken to contain the virus or treat its impact, among others. Complications from the coronavirus outbreak could have a
material adverse effect on the continuity of our business operations and our results of operations and financial position, particularly if such
complications have an extended duration.
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. Kodak 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’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. 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.
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;
difficulty in evaluating operating costs, infrastructure requirements, environmental and other liabilities and other factors
beyond its control;
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.

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, medical epidemics, 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.
wrong, inaccurate or changing business assumptions on which such acquisitions or combinations are predicated;
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.
The ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus formally known as COVID-19 emanating from China in December 2019 and spreading throughout many
regions of the world has resulted in travel restrictions to and from affected regions, disruptions to suppliers’ performance and delivery, in some cases
whether or not based in affected regions, as well as the temporary shutdown of many businesses in affected regions. Kodak has manufacturing,
service and sales operations in affected regions, including China, Germany and Italy, and regularly imports and exports products into and out of the
affected regions. Kodak also relies on:
•
•
•
•
•
•
certain third-party suppliers and vendors in affected regions for goods and services to support its global business
operations;
customers whose need for Kodak products is based on manufacturing operations in affected regions;
suppliers, some of which are based in affected regions, to transport products into and out of affected regions;
companies operating outside affected regions who obtain critical raw materials or components from affected regions to
supply Kodak;
the shooting, production and release of motion picture films in or dependent on affected regions; and

Kodak makes 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.
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;
quickly respond to changes in customer demand for Kodak’s products;
obtain supplies and materials necessary for the manufacturing process; or
• mitigate the impact of labor shortages and/or other disruptions.
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, medical epidemics, 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.
The ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus formally known as COVID-19 emanating from China in December 2019 and spreading throughout many
regions of the world has resulted in travel restrictions to and from affected regions, disruptions to suppliers’ performance and delivery, in some cases
whether or not based in affected regions, as well as the temporary shutdown of many businesses in affected regions. Kodak has manufacturing,
service and sales operations in affected regions, including China, Germany and Italy, and regularly imports and exports products into and out of the
affected regions. Kodak also relies on:
certain third-party suppliers and vendors in affected regions for goods and services to support its global business
operations;
supply Kodak;
•
•
•
•
•
•
customers whose need for Kodak products is based on manufacturing operations in affected regions;
suppliers, some of which are based in affected regions, to transport products into and out of affected regions;
companies operating outside affected regions who obtain critical raw materials or components from affected regions to
the shooting, production and release of motion picture films in or dependent on affected regions; and
royalties from brand licensees that source products from or sell products in affected regions.
Certain of Kodak’s critical business functions, including its manufacturing and field service operations, cannot be performed remotely, and an inability
of Kodak’s employees to physically work at its or its customers locations due to government restrictions, health concerns or illness may disrupt its
operations, perhaps significantly. Kodak has already experienced some disruptions in its manufacturing and logistics operations due to the
coronavirus outbreak. The full extent to which the coronavirus outbreak impacts Kodak’s results will depend on future developments, which are
highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at the time of this filing, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the
coronavirus and the actions taken to contain the virus or treat its impact, among others. Complications from the coronavirus outbreak could have a
material adverse effect on the continuity of our business operations and our results of operations and financial position, particularly if such
complications have an extended duration.
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. Kodak 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’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. 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.
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;
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.

Cyber-attacks or other data security incidents that disrupt Kodak’s operations or result in the breach or other compromise of proprietary
of confidential information about its workforce, its customers, or other third parties could disrupt its business, harm its reputation, cause
it to lose customers, and expose it to costly regulatory enforcement and litigation.
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.
Attacks on IT 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 periodically reviews, upgrades and enhances 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. In the United States, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) became effective on
January 1, 2020 and many other states are in various stages of implementing privacy legislation. The CCPA provides California residents with
specific privacy rights including a new private right of action for certain data breaches.
Recently enacted laws and regulations, 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.
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, some of Kodak’s business and some 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 may be 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, certain individuals and
groups have purchased 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 some of 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;
products;
recruitment of sales and technical support personnel with the skills to design, manufacture, sell and supply
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;
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.
Any uncertainties related to environmental conditions or obligations at Kodak’s properties may impact its ability to further develop or sell such
properties.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
Finally, Kodak uses open source software in connection with some of its products and services. Companies which incorporate open source software
Kodak’s future results could be harmed if it is unsuccessful in its sales in emerging markets.

16
17
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, 2018 to December 31, 2018 on May 31, 2019. 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 ABL Credit Agreement or the Convertible Notes could result in an event of
default under these facilities.
If any default or event of default occurs under the ABL Credit Agreement and the Company is not able to either cure it or obtain a waiver from the
requisite lenders under the ABL Credit Agreement, the administrative agent under the ABL Credit Agreement may, and at the request of the requisite
lenders for that facility must, declare all of the Company’s outstanding obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement, 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 any default or event of default occurs under
the Convertible Notes and the Company is not able to either cure it or obtain a waiver from the holders of the Convertible Notes, such holders may
declare all of the Company’s outstanding obligations under the Convertible Notes, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due
and payable. If applicable, the administrative agent under the ABL Credit Agreement and the collateral agent for the Convertible Notes 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.
On March 6, 2020 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 contained
in the audit report on Kodak’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019. There can be no assurance that Kodak will be
able to obtain such a waiver if a going concern explanatory paragraph is contained in the audit report with respect to Kodak’s annual financial
statements for future years. In the absence of such a waiver, the agent or lenders under the ABL Credit Agreement may take the position that such
explanatory paragraph constitutes a default under the reporting covenant in the ABL Credit Agreement. 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 2. “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Sources of Liquidity.”
Kodak may require additional capital funding and such capital may not be available to it 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 Company has issued approximately $80 million and $85 million of letters of credit under the ABL Credit
Agreement as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The maturity date of the ABL Credit Agreement is May 26, 2021. Upon the earlier of
the maturity date or the termination of the revolving credit commitments 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 ABL Credit Agreement and Convertible Notes;
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 projected financial performance and the financial performance and projected financial
performance of its subsidiaries;
its levels of debt and redemption obligations, including the maturity of the Convertible Notes on November 1, 2021,
unless extended in accordance with their terms, and the mandatory redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock on
November 15, 2021;
its ability to generate positive cash flow;
its ability to consummate monetization transactions including asset sales;
its requirements for posting collateral under various commercial agreements;
its credit ratings;
•
•
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 Convertible Notes and ABL Credit Agreement or
the redemption obligations under the Series A Preferred Stock 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 Convertible Notes, the redemption obligations under the
Series A Preferred Stock or, as necessary, its obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement before they become due. If Kodak is unable to amend,
extend or refinance the obligations under the Convertible Notes, ABL Credit Agreement or Series A Preferred Stock 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. In addition, the Company may not continue to maintain credit ratings from the recognized rating agencies.
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 Finance 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 $80 million of outstanding letters of credit and the $15 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
and would not be available to support ongoing working capital and investment needs.
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 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 Convertible Notes and ABL Credit Agreement 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:
have incurred;
•
•
•
•
it may not be able to satisfy all of its obligations, including, but not limited to, its obligations under the Convertible
Notes and the ABL Credit Agreement, which may cause a cross-default or cross-acceleration on other debt it may
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.

assurances Kodak will be able to amend, extend, refinance or repay the loans under the Convertible Notes, the redemption obligations under the
Series A Preferred Stock or, as necessary, its obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement before they become due. If Kodak is unable to amend,
extend or refinance the obligations under the Convertible Notes, ABL Credit Agreement or Series A Preferred Stock 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. In addition, the Company may not continue to maintain credit ratings from the recognized rating agencies.
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 Finance 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 $80 million of outstanding letters of credit and the $15 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
and would not be available to support ongoing working capital and investment needs.
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 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 Convertible Notes and ABL Credit Agreement 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 Convertible
Notes and the ABL Credit Agreement, 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.
18
19
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 Convertible Notes or 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 Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of 314.9785 shares of common stock per
$1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, and 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 Convertible Notes or 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 December 31, 2020, the conversion of all
Convertible Notes would result in the issuance to holders thereof of approximately 42% of the outstanding common stock after giving effect to such
conversion, 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, and the conversion of all Convertible Notes and all shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock would result in the issuance to holders thereof of approximately 50% 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 Convertible Notes and Series A Preferred
Stock, with such issuances being further dilutive to existing holders of common stock.
If Convertible Notes or shares of Series A Preferred Stock are 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 Convertible Notes or 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 Convertible Notes or Series A Preferred Stock or for issuance of
additional shares of common stock pursuant to certain other features of the Convertible Notes or 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 and Convertible Notes 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. These holders also hold all of the Convertible Notes. If the holders converted all of the Convertible Notes,
the holders would hold approximately 56% of the voting power of the Company on an as-converted basis and such conversion may constitute a
change in control of the Company. 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 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 February 1, 2020, the Company is in arrears for four 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, and 11,494,200 shares of common stock, subject
to anti-dilution adjustments, issuable upon the conversion of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock. The Company is also a party to a Registration
Rights Agreement pursuant to which it is obligated under defined circumstances to register for resale the shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of the Convertible Notes. 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 or certain accumulations or transfers of the
Company’s securities 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 59% of its outstanding shares of common stock assuming the
issuance of all common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, and, if it is required to register the common stock
issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes, the Company will have registered the resale of securities representing approximately 74% of
its outstanding shares of common stock assuming the issuance of all common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock
and Convertible Notes.
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 and Convertible Notes, the
conversion of such securities, the redemption, refinancing, extension or amendment 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 18, “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.

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, 2019, Kodak’s Brazilian operations maintained accruals of approximately $3 million
for claims aggregating approximately $149 million inclusive of interest and penalties where appropriate. In connection with assessments and
litigation in Brazil, local regulations may require Kodak’s Brazilian operations 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.

ITEM 3.
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, 2019, Kodak’s Brazilian operations maintained accruals of approximately $3 million
for claims aggregating approximately $149 million inclusive of interest and penalties where appropriate. In connection with assessments and
litigation in Brazil, local regulations may require Kodak’s Brazilian operations 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.

including management’s examination of historical operating trends and data, are based upon Kodak’s expectations and various assumptions. Future
events or results may differ from those anticipated or expressed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual events

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.

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 Brand, Film and
Imaging segment has three goodwill reporting units, Motion Picture and Industrial Chemicals and Films; Consumer Products; and Kodak Technology
Solutions and Kodak Services for Business. The Enterprise Inkjet Systems segment, Kodak Software segment, Advanced Materials and 3D Printing
Technology segment and Eastman Business Park segment all have one goodwill reporting unit. As of December 31, 2019, goodwill is recorded in
the Kodak Software and Consumer Products reporting units.
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, 2019. 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, 2020 to December 31, 2024 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, except Kodak Technology Solutions and Kodak Services for Business, 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, 2019 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, 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, 2019. 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, 2020 to December 31, 2024, including a terminal year with growth rates ranging from -3% to 2.5%; (b) an after-tax royalty
rate of 0.4% of expected net sales determined with regard to comparable market transactions and profitability analysis; and (c) discount rates
ranging from 17% to 30%, which were based on the after-tax weighted-average cost of capital.
Based on the results of Kodak’s December 31, 2019 assessment, the carrying value of the Kodak trade name exceeded its fair value and Kodak
recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $4 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. A one percent increase in the discount rate and a 10 percent miss in expected
revenues would impact the fair value of the Kodak trade name by $3 million.
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. Kodak
recorded a $2 million pre-tax impairment charge related to one building no longer in use.
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 and Convertible Notes Embedded Conversion Features and Term Extension Derivatives
On November 15, 2016, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock no par value per share. On May 24, 2019, the Company
issued $100 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes. The Company concluded that the Series A Preferred Stock and Convertible
Notes are considered more akin to debt-type instruments and that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded conversion features and
term extension at the Company’s option (in the case of the Convertible Notes), except where the conversion price is increased to the liquidation
preference in the case of the Series A Preferred Stock, were not considered clearly and closely related to the Series A Preferred Stock or the
Convertible Notes. Accordingly, these embedded features were bifurcated from the Series A Preferred Stock and Convertible Notes and separately
accounted for on a combined basis at fair value as two single derivatives. The Company allocated $43 million of the net Series A Preferred Stock
proceeds to the Series A Preferred Stock 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 Company allocated $14 million of the net Convertible Notes
proceeds to the Convertible Notes derivative liability based on the aggregate fair value of the embedded features on the date of issuance which
reduced the original carrying value of the Convertible Notes. The derivatives are being accounted for at fair value with subsequent changes in the
fair value being reported as part of Other charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock
derivative as of December 31, 2019 was a liability of $1 million and is included in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated
Statement of Financial Position. The fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock derivative as December 31, 2018 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 Convertible Notes
derivative as of December 31, 2019 was a liability of $51 million and is included within Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated
Statement of Financial Position.
The fair value of the embedded conversion features and term extension option derivatives are calculated using unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair
measurements). The value of the Optional Conversion associated with both the Convertible Notes and Series A Preferred Stock is calculated using
a binomial lattice model. The value of the term extension option reflects the probability weighted average value of the Convertible Notes using the
original maturity date and a hypothetical extended maturity date, with all other contractual terms unchanged.
The following tables present the key inputs in the determination of fair value for the embedded conversion features and termination option
derivatives:

The Fundamental Change and Reorganization Conversion values reduce the value of the embedded conversion features and term extension option
derivative liability. Other than events which alter the likelihood of a fundamental change or reorganization event, the value of the Fundamental
Change and Reorganization Conversion reflects the value as of the issuance date, amortized for the passage of time. The Fundamental Change and
Reorganization Conversion value for the Series A Preferred Stock exceeded the value of the Optional Conversion and Mandatory Conversion values
at December 31, 2018 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 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, 2019, Kodak has net deferred tax assets before valuation allowances of approximately
$955 million and a valuation allowance related to those net deferred tax assets of approximately $821 million, resulting in net deferred tax assets of
approximately $134 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 2019 and 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 and profits in locations outside the U.S. and accordingly recorded a
provision of $19 million and $15 million, respectively, associated with the establishment 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 be
realized as a result of increased profits in a location 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.
Kodak may be able to make the determination that the realization of deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions is 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 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 stockholders that hold five percent or more
of the outstanding stock. Future transactions, when combined with reported transactions within the testing period, 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, 2019, Kodak had available U.S. NOL carry-forwards for income tax purposes of
approximately $753 million and unused foreign tax credits of $355 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.
Kodak has deferred tax liabilities of $19 million and $22 million for potential taxes on undistributed earnings, including foreign withholding taxes, as of
December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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
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, 2019, the calculated value of the assets of Kodak’s major U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit
pension plans was approximately $4.1 billion and the fair value of the assets of Kodak’s major U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans was
approximately $4.3 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 2019 net
pension expense for major U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans was 6.50% and 3.46%, 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.

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, 2019, Kodak has net deferred tax assets before valuation allowances of approximately
$955 million and a valuation allowance related to those net deferred tax assets of approximately $821 million, resulting in net deferred tax assets of
approximately $134 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 2019 and 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 and profits in locations outside the U.S. and accordingly recorded a
provision of $19 million and $15 million, respectively, associated with the establishment 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 be
realized as a result of increased profits in a location 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.
Kodak may be able to make the determination that the realization of deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions is 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 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 stockholders that hold five percent or more
of the outstanding stock. Future transactions, when combined with reported transactions within the testing period, 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, 2019, Kodak had available U.S. NOL carry-forwards for income tax purposes of
approximately $753 million and unused foreign tax credits of $355 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.
Kodak has deferred tax liabilities of $19 million and $22 million for potential taxes on undistributed earnings, including foreign withholding taxes, as of
December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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
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, 2019, the calculated value of the assets of Kodak’s major U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit
pension plans was approximately $4.1 billion and the fair value of the assets of Kodak’s major U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans was
approximately $4.3 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 2019 net
pension expense for major U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans was 6.50% and 3.46%, 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.

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 $89 million for 2019 and is expected to be approximately $90 million in 2020. Pension income from continuing
operations before special termination benefits, curtailments and settlements for the major non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans was $1 million for
2019 and is projected to be less than $1 million in 2020.
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 $78 million (6%) from 2018 to 2019. Currency impacted revenue unfavorably in 2019 compared to 2018 ($27 million).
The film industry and segments within the print industry face competition from digital substitution. Kodak’s strategy is to:
•
•
•
•
Focus product investment in core competency areas of print and advanced materials, leveraging Kodak’s proprietary technologies to
deliver technologically advanced products in the product goods packaging, graphic communications, and functional printing markets;
Grow revenues through a focus on customers across Kodak’s print divisions, increasing overall share;
Promote the use of film and expand the applications of Kodak’s film and chemicals to best utilize the existing infrastructure; and
Advanced Materials and 3D Printing Technology
Continue to streamline processes to drive cost reductions and improve operating leverage.
A discussion of opportunities and challenges related to Kodak’s strategy follows:
•
•
Kodak has eliminated current debt service requirements by paying down the First Lien Term Credit Agreement using proceeds from the
sale of the Flexographic Packaging segment (“FPD”) and refinancing the remaining balance through the issuance of convertible debt
which does not require any debt service until conversion or maturity on November 1, 2021. However, Kodak has significant cash
requirements to fund ongoing operations, restructuring programs, pension and other postretirement obligations, and other obligations.
Kodak’s plans to return to positive cash flow include growing revenues profitably, reducing operating expenses, simplifying the
organizational structure, generating cash from selling and leasing underutilized assets and focusing investment in core competency
areas.
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.
32
33
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 accounted for 67% of Kodak’s total
revenues in 2019. Print Systems revenues declined $60 million in 2019. Excluding licensing revenue ($13 million) from a strategic
relationship established with Lucky HuaGuang Graphics Co. Ltd (“HuaGuang”) in the People’s Republic of China (refer to Note 30,
“Assets Held for Sale”), Print Systems revenue declined $73 million (8%) in 2019 including the unfavorable impact of currency ($21
million). Despite the revenue declines, segment earnings improved $13 million from 2018 to 2019 including the favorable impact of
currency ($3 million), reflecting the HuaGuang license revenue and cost reductions partially offset by volume and pricing declines.
•
•
•
•
•
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 direct sale press products that widen its reach into applications for packaging and décor and expand the
substrate range to include plastics. Enterprise Inkjet Systems’ revenue declined $8 million in 2019. Segment earnings declined $9
million from 2018 to 2019 driven by equipment inventory write-downs due to more aggressive pricing in PROSPER systems intended to
drive higher consumables volumes in the future.
The Kodak Software segment’s revenue declined $9 million (14%) in 2019 primarily reflecting volume declines.
Brand, Film and Imaging revenue was relatively flat, declining $1 million from 2018 to 2019. The segment loss improved $9 million
(41%) through cost improvements from 2018 to 2019. 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.

As reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Kodak increased workers’ compensation reserves by approximately $3 million in 2019, primarily due to changes in discount rates. The increase in
reserves impacted gross profit by approximately $2 million and SG&A by approximately $1 million. 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.
2020 Segments
Change in Segments
Effective in January 2020 Kodak changed its organizational structure. Prepress Solutions, formerly part of the Print Systems segment, will operate
as a separate segment named the Traditional Printing segment. Electrophotographic Printing Solutions, formerly part of the Print Systems segment,
will be combined with the Enterprise Inkjet Systems segment and Kodak Software segment to form the Digital Print segment. The Brand, Imaging
and Film segment, except for the licensing of the Kodak brand to third parties, will be combined with the Advanced Materials and 3D Printing
segment to form the Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment. The licensing of the Kodak brand to third parties will operate as a separate
segment named the Brand segment. The Eastman Business Park segment will no longer be a reportable segment.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, revenues decreased by approximately $78 million compared with the same period in 2018. Volume and
pricing declines partially offset by favorable product mix within Print Systems ($40 million and $12 million, respectively), volume declines in Kodak
Software ($8 million) and Enterprise Inkjet Systems ($7 million) and unfavorable foreign currency ($27 million) drove the decline. Intellectual
property licensing revenue of $13 million related to the HuaGuang relationship positively impacted results. See segment discussions for additional
Revenues
details.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for 2019 increased by approximately $2 million. The increase reflected intellectual property licensing revenue of $13 million related to the
HuaGuang relationship and cost improvements across film manufacturing ($6 million), lower aluminum costs ($7 million), refunds of aluminum tariffs
paid by Kodak in the last half of 2018 in Print Systems ($2 million) and lower depreciation and amortization expense ($15 million). The
improvements were offset by lower volume and unfavorable pricing and product mix in Print Systems ($19 million), volume declines in Kodak
Software ($5 million) and Enterprise Inkjet Systems ($3 million), unfavorable manufacturing costs and equipment inventory write-downs in Enterprise
Inkjet Systems ($6 million), declines in Consumer Inkjet Systems ($3 million) and unfavorable foreign currency ($2 million). See segment
Consolidated SG&A for 2019 decreased $13 million primarily due to lower investment in selling and marketing activities in Print Systems ($7 million)
and lower consulting and project costs ($7 million) partially offset by $2 million of compensation included in the former CEO separation agreement.
Consolidated R&D expenses decreased $6 million in 2019 primarily due primarily due to the reduced level of investment across the segments.
These costs, as well as the restructuring costs reported in Cost of revenues, are discussed under the "RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER"
discussions for additional details.

As reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Kodak increased workers’ compensation reserves by approximately $3 million in 2019, primarily due to changes in discount rates. The increase in
reserves impacted gross profit by approximately $2 million and SG&A by approximately $1 million. 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.
2020 Segments
Change in Segments
Effective in January 2020 Kodak changed its organizational structure. Prepress Solutions, formerly part of the Print Systems segment, will operate
as a separate segment named the Traditional Printing segment. Electrophotographic Printing Solutions, formerly part of the Print Systems segment,
will be combined with the Enterprise Inkjet Systems segment and Kodak Software segment to form the Digital Print segment. The Brand, Imaging
and Film segment, except for the licensing of the Kodak brand to third parties, will be combined with the Advanced Materials and 3D Printing
segment to form the Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment. The licensing of the Kodak brand to third parties will operate as a separate
segment named the Brand segment. The Eastman Business Park segment will no longer be a reportable segment.

Revenues
For the year ended December 31, 2019, revenues decreased by approximately $78 million compared with the same period in 2018. Volume and
pricing declines partially offset by favorable product mix within Print Systems ($40 million and $12 million, respectively), volume declines in Kodak
Software ($8 million) and Enterprise Inkjet Systems ($7 million) and unfavorable foreign currency ($27 million) drove the decline. Intellectual
property licensing revenue of $13 million related to the HuaGuang relationship positively impacted results. See segment discussions for additional
details.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for 2019 increased by approximately $2 million. The increase reflected intellectual property licensing revenue of $13 million related to the
HuaGuang relationship and cost improvements across film manufacturing ($6 million), lower aluminum costs ($7 million), refunds of aluminum tariffs
paid by Kodak in the last half of 2018 in Print Systems ($2 million) and lower depreciation and amortization expense ($15 million). The
improvements were offset by lower volume and unfavorable pricing and product mix in Print Systems ($19 million), volume declines in Kodak
Software ($5 million) and Enterprise Inkjet Systems ($3 million), unfavorable manufacturing costs and equipment inventory write-downs in Enterprise
Inkjet Systems ($6 million), declines in Consumer Inkjet Systems ($3 million) and unfavorable foreign currency ($2 million). See segment
discussions for additional details.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Consolidated SG&A for 2019 decreased $13 million primarily due to lower investment in selling and marketing activities in Print Systems ($7 million)
and lower consulting and project costs ($7 million) partially offset by $2 million of compensation included in the former CEO separation agreement.
Research and Development Costs
Consolidated R&D expenses decreased $6 million in 2019 primarily due primarily due to the reduced level of investment across the segments.
Restructuring Costs and Other
These costs, as well as the restructuring costs reported in Cost of revenues, are discussed under the "RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER"

Operational EBITDA
The increase in Print Systems Operational EBITDA of approximately $13 million reflects the intellectual property licensing revenue related to the
HuaGuang relationship ($13 million), lower investment in sales and marketing activities ($7 million), lower manufacturing costs ($5 million) in
Electrophotographic Printing Solutions, lower aluminum costs ($7 million), refunds of aluminum tariffs which were paid by Kodak in the last half of

respectively) in Prepress Solutions consumables, unfavorable manufacturing costs in Prepress Solutions driven largely by the lower volumes ($6
million) and unfavorable pricing in Electrophotographic Printing Solutions consumables and service ($5 million).
During 2018 U.S. tariffs imposed on aluminum purchases were included as part of the cost of printing plates sold. In January 2019, Kodak received
retroactive exemptions on U.S. tariffs for aluminum. Due to the exemptions, all aluminum tariffs paid by Kodak in prior periods have been recognized
as a cost reduction in the current period.

Kodak made cash payments related to restructuring of approximately $9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The restructuring actions implemented in 2019 are expected to generate future annual cash savings of approximately $22 million. These savings are
expected to reduce future annual Cost of revenues, SG&A and R&D expenses by $6 million, $15 million and $1 million, respectively. Kodak expects
the majority of the annual savings to be in effect by the end of the third quarter of 2020 as actions are completed.
2018
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.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Kodak is facing liquidity challenges due to operating losses and low or negative cash flow from operations. Cash flow from operations in the current
year benefited from working capital improvements and individual transactions which occurred during the year. Kodak has eliminated current debt
service requirements by paying down the loans under the Senior Secured First Lien Term Credit Agreement (the “Term Credit Agreement”) using
proceeds from the sale of Kodak’s Flexographic Packaging business (“FPD”) and refinancing the remaining balance through the issuance of
convertible debt which does not require any debt service until conversion or maturity on November 1, 2021. The Series A Preferred Stock must be
redeemed on November 15, 2021 if not converted prior to then. Kodak has significant cash requirements to fund ongoing operations, restructuring
programs, pension and other postretirement obligations, and other obligations. Kodak’s plans to return to sustainable positive cash flow include
growing revenues profitably, reducing operating expenses, simplifying the organizational structure, generating cash from selling and leasing
underutilized assets and paring investment in new technology by eliminating or delaying product development programs. The current cash balance
outside of China, recent trend of low or negative operating cash flow, maturity and redemption dates in 2021 of the Convertible Notes and Series A
Preferred Stock and lack of certainty regarding a sustainable return to positive cash flow 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 Finance 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.
Kodak has already experienced some disruptions in its manufacturing and logistics operations due to the coronavirus outbreak. The full extent to
which the coronavirus outbreak impacts its results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at the
time of this filing, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken to contain the virus
or treat its impact, among others. Complications from the coronavirus outbreak could have a material adverse effect on the continuity of our business
operations and our results of operations and financial position, particularly if such complications have an extended duration.
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities improved $74 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared with the prior year
primarily due to lower cash spend on inventory, higher build of accounts payable (including the impact of a supply contract entered into as part of the
agreement with HuaGuang), the allocation of $10 million of the proceeds from the divestiture of FPD as consideration for a brand license, the
allocation of $13 million of the proceeds from entering the relationship with HuaGuang as consideration for an intellectual property license, the
receipt of a $15 million prepayment for transition services, products, and other services as a part of the divestiture of FPD partially offset by lower
cash operating earnings.
Investing Activities
Financing Activities
Sources of Liquidity
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities improved $333 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the prior year due to
the proceeds from the sale of FPD and reduced capital spend.
Net cash used in financing activities increased $287 million in the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the prior year driven by the
repayment of the loans under the Term Credit Agreement partially offset by the issuance of the Convertible Notes.
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, 2019 and 2018, approximately $72 million and $117
million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents were held within the U.S. and approximately $161 million and $131 million, respectively, of cash,
cash equivalents and cash in assets held for sale 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, 2019 and 2018 outstanding intercompany loans to the U.S. were $408 million and $390 million, respectively, which
includes short-term intercompany loans of $110 million and $92 million. In China, where approximately $89 million and $72 million, respectively, of
cash and cash equivalents were held as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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 ABL Credit Agreement, the Company is permitted to invest up to $100
million at any time in subsidiaries and joint ventures that are not party to the ABL Credit Agreement.
On April 16, 2019, the Purchaser paid Kodak $15 million in the U.S. as a prepayment for transition services and products and services to be
provided by Kodak to the Purchaser. Kodak provided a $15 million guaranty, supported by cash collateral in China, to the Purchaser. The
Purchaser has the option to satisfy its payment obligations to Kodak through a reduction of the prepayment balance or in cash. When the Purchaser
satisfies its payment obligations to Kodak by utilizing its prepayment balance, Kodak can follow a guaranty amendment process to reduce the
amount of its guaranty and cash collateral supporting the prepayment balance. As of December 31, 2019, the remaining prepayment balance was
$3 million and the cash collateral supporting Kodak’s guaranty was $4 million.
On September 1, 2019 Kodak established a strategic relationship with HuaGuang in the People’s Republic of China. The relationship is comprised
of an agreement under which Kodak sold its shares of the Kodak (China) Graphic Communication Co. Ltd. entity which included the offset printing
plates facility in Xiamen, China, and related assets and liabilities, to HuaGuang, a supply agreement for HuaGuang to help Kodak fulfill customer
demand and a license agreement under which Kodak licensed its plates technology, including its Sonora Process Free plates technology, to
HuaGuang with the intent of expanding the plates market in China.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities improved $74 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared with the prior year
primarily due to lower cash spend on inventory, higher build of accounts payable (including the impact of a supply contract entered into as part of the
agreement with HuaGuang), the allocation of $10 million of the proceeds from the divestiture of FPD as consideration for a brand license, the
allocation of $13 million of the proceeds from entering the relationship with HuaGuang as consideration for an intellectual property license, the
receipt of a $15 million prepayment for transition services, products, and other services as a part of the divestiture of FPD partially offset by lower
cash operating earnings.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities improved $333 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the prior year due to
the proceeds from the sale of FPD and reduced capital spend.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities increased $287 million in the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the prior year driven by the
repayment of the loans under the Term Credit Agreement partially offset by the issuance of the Convertible Notes.
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, 2019 and 2018, approximately $72 million and $117
million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents were held within the U.S. and approximately $161 million and $131 million, respectively, of cash,
cash equivalents and cash in assets held for sale 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, 2019 and 2018 outstanding intercompany loans to the U.S. were $408 million and $390 million, respectively, which
includes short-term intercompany loans of $110 million and $92 million. In China, where approximately $89 million and $72 million, respectively, of
cash and cash equivalents were held as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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 ABL Credit Agreement, the Company is permitted to invest up to $100
million at any time in subsidiaries and joint ventures that are not party to the ABL Credit Agreement.
On April 16, 2019, the Purchaser paid Kodak $15 million in the U.S. as a prepayment for transition services and products and services to be
provided by Kodak to the Purchaser. Kodak provided a $15 million guaranty, supported by cash collateral in China, to the Purchaser. The
Purchaser has the option to satisfy its payment obligations to Kodak through a reduction of the prepayment balance or in cash. When the Purchaser
satisfies its payment obligations to Kodak by utilizing its prepayment balance, Kodak can follow a guaranty amendment process to reduce the
amount of its guaranty and cash collateral supporting the prepayment balance. As of December 31, 2019, the remaining prepayment balance was
$3 million and the cash collateral supporting Kodak’s guaranty was $4 million.
On September 1, 2019 Kodak established a strategic relationship with HuaGuang in the People’s Republic of China. The relationship is comprised
of an agreement under which Kodak sold its shares of the Kodak (China) Graphic Communication Co. Ltd. entity which included the offset printing
plates facility in Xiamen, China, and related assets and liabilities, to HuaGuang, a supply agreement for HuaGuang to help Kodak fulfill customer
demand and a license agreement under which Kodak licensed its plates technology, including its Sonora Process Free plates technology, to
HuaGuang with the intent of expanding the plates market in China.
38
39
Upon the establishment of the relationship, Kodak received net cash proceeds of $30 million, of which $13 million was received in the United States.
As part of the arrangement, Kodak established an escrow of $14 million in China to secure minimum payments required under the supply
agreement.
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, 2019 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.
Under the ABL Credit Agreement, if Excess Availability ($22 million as of December 31, 2019) falls below 12.5% of lender commitments
($18.75 million as of December 31, 2019), 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, 2019 Fixed Charges (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) exceeded EBITDA by approximately $4 million, therefore the Fixed Charges
Coverage Ratio was less than 1.0 to 1.0. (Refer to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement section of Note 9, “Debt and Finance Leases”, for
the definition of Excess Availability).
To ensure Excess Availability was greater than 12.5%, Kodak funded $22 million and $3 million to the Eligible Cash account held with the ABL Credit
Agreement Administrative Agent as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, which is classified as Restricted cash in the Consolidated Statement of
Financial Position, supporting the Excess Availability amount.
On January 27, 2020 Kodak exercised its right under the ABL Credit Agreement to permanently reduce lender commitments, reducing the
commitments from $150 million to $120 million. As a result, the minimum Excess Availability decreased to $15 million from the previous minimum of
$18.75 million.
As a result of the Company’s credit ratings, the Company was required to provide $6 million in letters of credit to the issuers of certain surety bonds
during the third quarter of 2018. As a result of the Company’s current credit ratings or a further ratings downgrade, 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.
Reporting requirements under the ABL 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, and that the opinion be reasonably acceptable to the agent. On March 6, 2020
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 have occurred in relation to the going concern explanatory paragraph in the 2019 Form 10-K audit report.
Defined Benefit Pension and Postretirement Plans
Kodak made contributions (funded plans) or paid net benefits (unfunded plans) totaling approximately $19 million relating to its defined benefit
pension and postretirement benefit plans in 2019. For 2020, the forecasted contribution (funded plans) and net benefit payment (unfunded plans)
requirements for its defined benefit pension and postretirement plans are approximately $17 million.
Capital Expenditures
Cash flows from investing activities included $17 million for capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2019. Kodak expects
approximately $15 million to $25 million of cash flows for investing activities from capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2020.
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. Kodak received a payment of $14 million from RED. Kodak is required to pay a minimum annual 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. The debt
payments to RED continue until August 2033.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
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.

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
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of Eastman Kodak Company and its subsidiaries (the “Company”)
as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity (deficit) and cash
flow for the years then ended, including the related notes and schedule of valuation and qualifying accounts for each of the two years in the period
ended December 31, 2019 appearing under Item 15 (1) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the
consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
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 limitations on its ability to repatriate cash held outside the U.S. to
other jurisdictions, experienced recent operating losses and negative cash flow from operations, redemption dates in 2021 for debt and preferred
stock and significant cash requirements to fund ongoing operations and other obligations 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 Principle
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for leases in 2019.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements 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 of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material
misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control
over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion.
Our audits 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. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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.
When used in this report, unless otherwise indicated by the context, “EKC” means the parent company, Eastman Kodak Company (the “Company”)
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
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
As of both December 31, 2019 and 2018, Kodak had approximately $233 million of cash and cash equivalents. $72 million and $117 million was
held in the U.S. as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $161 million and $116 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, 2019 and 2018 were $408 million and $390 million, respectively, which includes short-term intercompany loans from Kodak’s international
finance center of $110 million and $92 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In China, where approximately $89 million and $59
million of cash and cash equivalents was held as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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, restricted
cash and cash in assets held for sale of $102 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 and an increase in cash, cash equivalents, restricted
cash and cash in assets held for sale of $23 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The current year’s cash provided by operating activities
of $12 million includes the receipt of brand and functional intellectual property licensing proceeds allocated from the overall consideration received as
part of the divestiture of FPD ($10 million) and the establishment of a strategic relationship with HuaGuang ($13 million). Cash provided by
operating activities in 2019 also includes the receipt of a $15 million prepayment for transition services and products and services to be provided by
Kodak associated with the FPD divestiture, $3 million of which has not yet been utilized.
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.
Kodak is facing liquidity challenges due to operating losses and low or negative cash flow from operations. Cash flow from operations in the current
year benefited from working capital improvements and individual transactions which occurred during the year. Kodak has eliminated current debt
service requirements by paying down the loans under the Term Credit Agreement using proceeds from the sale of FPD and refinancing the
remaining balance through the issuance of convertible debt which does not require any debt service until conversion or maturity on November 1,
2021. The Series A Preferred Stock must be redeemed on November 15, 2021 if not converted prior to then. Kodak has significant cash
requirements to fund ongoing operations, restructuring programs, pension and other postretirement obligations, and other obligations. Kodak’s plans
to return to sustainable positive cash flow include growing revenues profitably, reducing operating expenses, simplifying the organizational structure,
generating cash from selling and leasing underutilized assets and paring investment in new technology by eliminating or delaying product
development programs. The current cash balance outside of China, recent trend of low or negative operating cash flow, maturity and redemption
dates in 2021 for the Convertible Notes and Series A Preferred Stock and lack of certainty regarding a sustainable return to positive cash flow raise
substantial doubt about Kodak’s ability to continue as a going concern.

When used in this report, unless otherwise indicated by the context, “EKC” means the parent company, Eastman Kodak Company (the “Company”)

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.
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.
As of both December 31, 2019 and 2018, Kodak had approximately $233 million of cash and cash equivalents. $72 million and $117 million was
held in the U.S. as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $161 million and $116 million were held outside the U.S. Cash balances held

that may impact the ability to make cash available to other jurisdictions in the world. Kodak had a net decrease in cash, cash equivalents, restricted
cash and cash in assets held for sale of $102 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 and an increase in cash, cash equivalents, restricted
cash and cash in assets held for sale of $23 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The current year’s cash provided by operating activities
of $12 million includes the receipt of brand and functional intellectual property licensing proceeds allocated from the overall consideration received as
part of the divestiture of FPD ($10 million) and the establishment of a strategic relationship with HuaGuang ($13 million). Cash provided by
operating activities in 2019 also includes the receipt of a $15 million prepayment for transition services and products and services to be provided by
Kodak associated with the FPD divestiture, $3 million of which has not yet been utilized.

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

substantial doubt about Kodak’s ability to continue as a going concern.

RECLASSIFICATIONS
Kodak calculates depreciation expense using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives, which are as follows:
Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period classification due to Kodak’s new organization structure as
of January 2019 and due to assets held for sale reporting requirements.
In addition to the changes in segment reporting under the new organization structure there is a change in the segment measure of profitability. The
segment measure of profitability 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 Brand, Film and Imaging 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
changed. Refer to Note 27, “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.
GOODWILL
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
charges, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The effects of foreign currency transactions, including related hedging activities, are included in Other charges, net, in the accompanying
Consolidated Statement of Operations.
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.
Financial Position.
LEASES
Kodak as lessee
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.

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”.
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, 2019 and 2018 was $21
million and $20 million, respectively, of which $18 million and $17 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
Kodak determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The primary criteria used to classify transactions as operating or finance leases are: (1)
whether the ownership transfers at the end of the lease, (2) whether the lease term is equal to or greater than 75% of the economic life of the asset,
and (3) whether the present value of the minimum lease payments is equal to or greater than 90% of the fair value of the asset at inception of the
lease. Kodak does not have leases that include assets of a specialized nature, generally does not provide residual value guarantees or have any
leases for which the exercise of end-of-lease purchase options is reasonably assured at lease inception.
Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make
lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of
lease payments over the lease term. The operating lease ROU assets exclude lease incentives. Variable lease payments are also excluded from
the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.
Kodak’s lease agreements are primarily for real estate space and vehicles. Arrangements for goods and services are also assessed to determine if
the arrangement contains a lease at its inception. Operating leases are included within Operating lease right-of-use assets, Current portion of
operating leases and Operating leases, net of current portion in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Finance leases are included in
Property, plant and equipment, net, Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt and Long-term debt, net of current portion in the
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
When available, the rate implicit in the lease is used to discount lease payments to present value; however, many leases do not provide a readily
determinable implicit rate. Therefore, Kodak applies its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments at lease commencement.

RECLASSIFICATIONS
Kodak calculates depreciation expense using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives, which are as follows:
Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period classification due to Kodak’s new organization structure as
of January 2019 and due to assets held for sale reporting requirements.
In addition to the changes in segment reporting under the new organization structure there is a change in the segment measure of profitability. The
segment measure of profitability 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 Brand, Film and Imaging 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
changed. Refer to Note 27, “Segment Information” for additional information.
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.
USE OF 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
charges, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The effects of foreign currency transactions, including related hedging activities, are included in Other charges, net, in the accompanying
Consolidated Statement of Operations.
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.
All highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.
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.

LEASES
Kodak as lessee
Kodak determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The primary criteria used to classify transactions as operating or finance leases are: (1)
whether the ownership transfers at the end of the lease, (2) whether the lease term is equal to or greater than 75% of the economic life of the asset,
and (3) whether the present value of the minimum lease payments is equal to or greater than 90% of the fair value of the asset at inception of the
lease. Kodak does not have leases that include assets of a specialized nature, generally does not provide residual value guarantees or have any
leases for which the exercise of end-of-lease purchase options is reasonably assured at lease inception.
Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make
lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of
lease payments over the lease term. The operating lease ROU assets exclude lease incentives. Variable lease payments are also excluded from
the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.
Kodak’s lease agreements are primarily for real estate space and vehicles. Arrangements for goods and services are also assessed to determine if
the arrangement contains a lease at its inception. Operating leases are included within Operating lease right-of-use assets, Current portion of
operating leases and Operating leases, net of current portion in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Finance leases are included in
Property, plant and equipment, net, Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt and Long-term debt, net of current portion in the
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
When available, the rate implicit in the lease is used to discount lease payments to present value; however, many leases do not provide a readily
determinable implicit rate. Therefore, Kodak applies its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments at lease commencement.
50
51
The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that EKC would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term. Lease
renewal or extension options and/or termination options are factored into the determination of lease payments only if reasonably certain to be
exercised.
Rental expense related to operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease agreements have both lease and
non-lease components. Kodak does not separate lease and non-lease components of contracts for real estate leases but does separate lease and
non-lease components for equipment leases.
Kodak as Lessor
Kodak places its own equipment at customer sites under sales-type and operating lease arrangements. Arrangements classified as sales-type
leases with revenue recognition at inception generally transfer title to the equipment by the end of the lease term or have a lease term that is for a
major part of the remaining economic life of the equipment; and collectability is considered probable. If the arrangement meets the criteria for a
sales-type lease but collectability is not considered probable, Kodak will not derecognize the asset and will record all payments received as a liability
until the earlier of collectability becoming probable or the termination of the lease. Arrangements that do not meet the sales-type lease criteria are
classified as operating leases with revenue recognized over the term. Contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations
including equipment, optional software licenses and service agreements. For such arrangements, revenue is allocated to each performance
obligation based on its relative standalone selling price.
The Eastman Business Park segment’s core operations are to lease real estate. Kodak also leases underutilized portions of other real estate
properties to third parties under both operating lease and sublease agreements. Payments received under operating lease agreements as part of the
Eastman Business Park segment are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term and are reported in Revenues in the Consolidated Statement
of Operations. Payments received under lease and sublease agreements for underutilized space are recognized on a straight-line basis and
reported as cost reductions in Cost of revenues, SG&A expenses, R&D costs and Other charges, net.
above).
Renewal options and/or termination options are factored into the determination of lease payments if considered probable. Kodak does not separate
lease and non-lease components of contracts for real estate leases but does separate lease and non-lease components for equipment leases.
Equipment subject to operating leases consists of equipment rented to customers. Equipment subject to operating leases is included in Property,
plant and equipment, net in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and is depreciated to estimated residual value over its expected useful
life. Equipment operating lease terms and depreciable lives generally vary from 3 to 7 years.
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 are performed.
Equipment is generally dependent on, and interrelated with, the underlying operating system (firmware) 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. Kodak applies the residual allocation method for sales of certain complex, highly customized
equipment due to significant variability in pricing. 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 Kodak Software) 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, Kodak Software) 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 (Kodak Software). 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 (e.g. patents and
technical know-how) and licenses to use symbolic intellectual property (e.g. 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 (Refer to Leases; Kodak as Lessor
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, 2019, there was approximately $75 million of unrecognized revenue from unsatisfied performance obligations. Approximately 35% of
the revenue from unsatisfied performance obligations is expected to be recognized in 2020, 25% in 2021, 15% in 2022 and 25% 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 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 $5 million and $4 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,
Amounts charged to customers and costs incurred by Kodak related to shipping and handling are included in net sales and cost of sales,

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.
52
53
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, 2019 and 2018, refer to Note 18, “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.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“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. Kodak
adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements as a
result of Kodak’s U.S. valuation allowance.
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 and ASU 2019-01)
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). 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. Kodak elected the package of practical expedients which permitted
Kodak to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any existing leases, and (3)
any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date. Kodak did not elect the hindsight practical expedient which permits entities to
use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment. The adoption of the amended lease guidance increased the assets and
liabilities recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position due to the recognition of lessee operating right-of-use assets and lease
liabilities. Kodak recognized 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. As a lessor, recognition of rental revenue remained mainly consistent with
previous guidance, apart from the narrower definition of initial direct costs that can be capitalized.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”, which removes
certain exceptions related to intra-period tax allocations and deferred tax accounting on outside basis differences in foreign subsidiaries and equity
method investments. Additionally, it provides other simplifying measures for the accounting for income taxes. The new standard is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2021 (January 1, 2022 for Kodak) with early adoption permitted. Kodak is currently evaluating the impact of this
ASU.
statements.
In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic
606. This guidance amended Topic 808 and Topic 606 to clarify that transactions in a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under
Topic 606 when the counterparty is a customer for a distinct good or service (i.e., unit of account). The amendments preclude an entity from
presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue from contracts with customers if the counterparty is not a
customer for that transaction. 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. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to the date of
initial application of Topic 606. Kodak adopted this ASU on January 1, 2020, and it did not have an impact on Kodak’s consolidated financial
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 (the year ended 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.

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, 2019 and 2018, refer to Note 18, “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.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“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. Kodak
adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements as a
result of Kodak’s U.S. valuation allowance.
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 and ASU 2019-01)

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic
606. This guidance amended Topic 808 and Topic 606 to clarify that transactions in a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under
Topic 606 when the counterparty is a customer for a distinct good or service (i.e., unit of account). The amendments preclude an entity from
presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue from contracts with customers if the counterparty is not a
customer for that transaction. 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. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to the date of
initial application of Topic 606. Kodak adopted this ASU on January 1, 2020, and it did not have an impact on Kodak’s consolidated financial
statements.
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

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 prospectively adopted 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 adopted this ASU
prospectively on January 1, 2020. Application of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on Kodak’s consolidated financial
statements.
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 (as amended by ASU 2018-19 and ASU’s 2019-04, 05, 10 and 11) 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 smaller reporting companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15,
2022, (January 1, 2023 for Kodak). Early adoption is permitted. Kodak is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.

Restricted cash - current portion on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position primarily represents amounts which support hedging activities
as well as collateral for a guaranty provided to MIR Bidco, SA (the “Purchaser”). On April 16, 2019 the Purchaser of FPD paid Kodak $15 million in
the U.S. as a prepayment for transition services, products and other services to be provided by Kodak to the Purchaser. Kodak provided a $15
million guaranty, supported by cash collateral in China, to the Purchaser. The Purchaser has the option to satisfy its payment obligations to Kodak
through a reduction of the prepayment balance or in cash. When the Purchaser satisfies its payment obligations to Kodak by utilizing its prepayment
balance, Kodak can follow a guaranty amendment process to reduce the amount of its guaranty and cash collateral supporting the prepayment
balance. As of December 31, 2019, the remaining prepayment balance is $3 million and the cash collateral supporting Kodak’s guaranty is $4
million.
Long-term restricted cash includes $22 million and $3 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, supporting compliance with the
Excess Availability threshold under the ABL Credit Agreement, as defined in Note 9, “Debt and Finance Leases”. In addition, Kodak established an
escrow of $14 million in China to secure various ongoing obligations under the agreements for the strategic relationship with Lucky HuaGuang
Graphics Co. Ltd. Refer to Note 30 “Assets Held For Sale”. Long-term restricted cash also includes $5 million of security posted related to Brazilian
legal contingencies as of both December 31, 2019 and 2018.

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 prospectively adopted 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

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 adopted this ASU
prospectively on January 1, 2020. Application of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on Kodak’s consolidated financial
statements.
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 (as amended by ASU 2018-19 and ASU’s 2019-04, 05, 10 and 11) 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 smaller reporting companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15,

the U.S. as a prepayment for transition services, products and other services to be provided by Kodak to the Purchaser. Kodak provided a $15
million guaranty, supported by cash collateral in China, to the Purchaser. The Purchaser has the option to satisfy its payment obligations to Kodak
through a reduction of the prepayment balance or in cash. When the Purchaser satisfies its payment obligations to Kodak by utilizing its prepayment
balance, Kodak can follow a guaranty amendment process to reduce the amount of its guaranty and cash collateral supporting the prepayment
balance. As of December 31, 2019, the remaining prepayment balance is $3 million and the cash collateral supporting Kodak’s guaranty is $4
million.
Long-term restricted cash includes $22 million and $3 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, supporting compliance with the
Excess Availability threshold under the ABL Credit Agreement, as defined in Note 9, “Debt and Finance Leases”. In addition, Kodak established an
escrow of $14 million in China to secure various ongoing obligations under the agreements for the strategic relationship with Lucky HuaGuang

Convertible Notes
On May 20, 2019, the Company and Longleaf Partners Small Cap Fund, C2W Partners Master Fund Limited and Deseret Mutual Pension Trust,
which are investment funds managed by Southeastern Asset Management, Inc. (the “Notes Purchasers”), entered into a Notes Purchase Agreement
pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Notes Purchasers, and the Notes Purchasers agreed to purchase from the Company,
$100 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.00% Secured Convertible Notes due 2021 (the “Convertible Notes”). The transaction
closed on May 24, 2019. The proceeds were used to repay the remaining first lien term loans outstanding ($83 million) under the Term Credit
Agreement, which was terminated with the repayment. The remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes. The Notes Purchasers
also hold all outstanding shares of the Company’s 5.50% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), which vote with the
shares of common stock on an as-converted basis, and are holders of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
“Common Stock”), as described below.
The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum, which will be payable in cash on their maturity date and, at the option of the
Company, in either cash or additional shares of Common Stock on any conversion date. The payment of interest only at the maturity date has the
same effect as delivering additional debt instruments to the Holders of the Convertible Notes and therefore is considered Paid-In-Kind interest
(“PIK”). Therefore, PIK will be added to the carrying value of the debt through the term and interest expense will be recorded using the effective
interest method.
The maturity date of the Convertible Notes is initially November 1, 2021. The Company has the option to extend the maturity of the Convertible
Notes by up to three years in the event that the Series A Preferred Stock is refinanced with debt or equity or the mandatory redemption date of the
Series A Preferred Stock is extended. If the Convertible Notes maturity date is extended, the new maturity date must be no later than 30 days before
the maturity date of any new debt or the extended mandatory redemption date of the Series A Preferred Stock.
Holders of the Convertible Notes have the right to elect at any time to convert their Convertible Notes into shares of Common Stock at a conversion
rate equal to 314.9785 shares of Common Stock per each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (based on a conversion price equal to
$3.17482 per share of Common Stock (the “Conversion Price”), which represents a 10% premium to the volume weighted average price of the
shares of Common Stock for the five day trading period ended on April 9, 2019 (the “Conversion Rate”)). The Conversion Rate and Conversion Price
are subject to certain customary antidilution adjustments.
If the closing price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds 150% of the then-effective Conversion Price for 45 trading days within any 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 Company may elect to convert all outstanding Convertible Notes
into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate then in effect.
In the event of certain fundamental transactions, the Notes Purchasers will have the right, within a period of 30 days following the occurrence of such
transaction (“Holder Fundamental Transaction Election Period”), to elect to either convert all or a portion of the Convertible Notes into shares of
Common Stock at the Conversion Rate then in effect, or to receive the shares of a successor entity, if any, or the Company, and any additional
consideration receivable as a result of such fundamental transaction. In addition, the Company will have the option, for a period of 30 days after the
expiration of the Holder Fundamental Transaction Election Period, to repay all of the remaining outstanding Convertible Notes at par, plus accrued
and unpaid interest.
Embedded Derivatives
The Convertible Notes are considered more akin to a debt-type instrument and the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded conversion
features and term extension at the Company’s option were not considered clearly and closely related to the Convertible Notes. Accordingly, these
embedded features were bifurcated from the Convertible Notes and separately accounted for on a combined basis at fair value as a single derivative
liability. Kodak allocated $14 million of the net proceeds received to a derivative liability based on the aggregate fair value of the embedded features
and term extension on the date of issuance which reduced the net carrying value of the Convertible Notes. The derivative is being accounted for at
fair value with subsequent changes in the fair value being reported as part of Other charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations (refer
to Note 14, “Financial Instruments”).
The carrying value of the Convertible Notes at the time of issuance, $84 million ($100 million aggregate gross proceeds less $14 million allocated to
the derivative liability and $2 million in transaction costs), is being accreted to the face amount using the effective interest method from the date of
issuance through the maturity date.
Convertible Notes Registration Rights Agreement
At the closing of the issuance and sale of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement which provides the Notes
Purchasers with customary registration rights in respect of the shares of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes.
Notes Purchasers’ Beneficial Ownership of Common Stock
Prior to the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Notes Purchasers beneficially owned 4,960,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock,
representing 11.47% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2019, and 2,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
which vote with the Common Stock on an as-converted basis representing 26.58% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 31,
2019. The Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock held by the Notes Purchasers represented 30.06% of the voting power of the outstanding
capital stock of the Company as of December 31, 2019 giving effect to the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. On an as-converted basis,
the Convertible Notes would represent 31,497,850 shares of Common Stock, or 42.14% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of
December 31, 2019 after giving effect to the issuance and conversion. Assuming the conversion of the Convertible Notes and based on the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2019, the Notes Purchasers would beneficially own 48.78% of the shares of Common
Stock outstanding and their shares of Series A Preferred Stock will vote with the shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis, representing an
aggregate of 55.60% of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the Company.
Credit Agreements
On September 3, 2013, the Company entered into a Senior Secured First Lien Term Credit Agreement (the “Term Credit Agreement”). Additionally,
the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into an Asset Based Revolving Credit Agreement (together with the Term Credit Agreement,
the “Credit Agreements”). Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreements, the Company was provided with term loan facilities in an aggregate
principal amount of $420 million of first-lien term loans (the “First Lien Loans”). On April 12, 2019, the Company repaid approximately $312 million of
the First Lien Loans using proceeds from the sale of FPD and on May 24, 2019 repaid the remaining First Lien Loans of approximately $83 million
with the proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes.

Convertible Notes
On May 20, 2019, the Company and Longleaf Partners Small Cap Fund, C2W Partners Master Fund Limited and Deseret Mutual Pension Trust,
which are investment funds managed by Southeastern Asset Management, Inc. (the “Notes Purchasers”), entered into a Notes Purchase Agreement
pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Notes Purchasers, and the Notes Purchasers agreed to purchase from the Company,
$100 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.00% Secured Convertible Notes due 2021 (the “Convertible Notes”). The transaction
closed on May 24, 2019. The proceeds were used to repay the remaining first lien term loans outstanding ($83 million) under the Term Credit
Agreement, which was terminated with the repayment. The remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes. The Notes Purchasers
also hold all outstanding shares of the Company’s 5.50% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), which vote with the
shares of common stock on an as-converted basis, and are holders of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
“Common Stock”), as described below.
The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum, which will be payable in cash on their maturity date and, at the option of the
Company, in either cash or additional shares of Common Stock on any conversion date. The payment of interest only at the maturity date has the
same effect as delivering additional debt instruments to the Holders of the Convertible Notes and therefore is considered Paid-In-Kind interest
(“PIK”). Therefore, PIK will be added to the carrying value of the debt through the term and interest expense will be recorded using the effective
interest method.
The maturity date of the Convertible Notes is initially November 1, 2021. The Company has the option to extend the maturity of the Convertible
Notes by up to three years in the event that the Series A Preferred Stock is refinanced with debt or equity or the mandatory redemption date of the
Series A Preferred Stock is extended. If the Convertible Notes maturity date is extended, the new maturity date must be no later than 30 days before
the maturity date of any new debt or the extended mandatory redemption date of the Series A Preferred Stock.
The Convertible Notes are guaranteed by all of the subsidiaries of the Company that currently guarantee the ABL Credit Agreement (the “Subsidiary
Guarantors”), and are secured by a second priority lien on certain receivables, inventory and other assets of the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors in which the lenders under the ABL Credit Agreement have a first priority security interest.
Conversion Features
Holders of the Convertible Notes have the right to elect at any time to convert their Convertible Notes into shares of Common Stock at a conversion
rate equal to 314.9785 shares of Common Stock per each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (based on a conversion price equal to
$3.17482 per share of Common Stock (the “Conversion Price”), which represents a 10% premium to the volume weighted average price of the
shares of Common Stock for the five day trading period ended on April 9, 2019 (the “Conversion Rate”)). The Conversion Rate and Conversion Price
are subject to certain customary antidilution adjustments.
If the closing price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds 150% of the then-effective Conversion Price for 45 trading days within any 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 Company may elect to convert all outstanding Convertible Notes
into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate then in effect.
In the event of certain fundamental transactions, the Notes Purchasers will have the right, within a period of 30 days following the occurrence of such
transaction (“Holder Fundamental Transaction Election Period”), to elect to either convert all or a portion of the Convertible Notes into shares of
Common Stock at the Conversion Rate then in effect, or to receive the shares of a successor entity, if any, or the Company, and any additional
consideration receivable as a result of such fundamental transaction. In addition, the Company will have the option, for a period of 30 days after the
expiration of the Holder Fundamental Transaction Election Period, to repay all of the remaining outstanding Convertible Notes at par, plus accrued
and unpaid interest.
Embedded Derivatives
The Convertible Notes are considered more akin to a debt-type instrument and the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded conversion
features and term extension at the Company’s option were not considered clearly and closely related to the Convertible Notes. Accordingly, these
embedded features were bifurcated from the Convertible Notes and separately accounted for on a combined basis at fair value as a single derivative
liability. Kodak allocated $14 million of the net proceeds received to a derivative liability based on the aggregate fair value of the embedded features
and term extension on the date of issuance which reduced the net carrying value of the Convertible Notes. The derivative is being accounted for at
fair value with subsequent changes in the fair value being reported as part of Other charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations (refer
to Note 14, “Financial Instruments”).
The carrying value of the Convertible Notes at the time of issuance, $84 million ($100 million aggregate gross proceeds less $14 million allocated to
the derivative liability and $2 million in transaction costs), is being accreted to the face amount using the effective interest method from the date of
issuance through the maturity date.
Convertible Notes Registration Rights Agreement
At the closing of the issuance and sale of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement which provides the Notes
Purchasers with customary registration rights in respect of the shares of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes.
Notes Purchasers’ Beneficial Ownership of Common Stock
Prior to the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Notes Purchasers beneficially owned 4,960,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock,
representing 11.47% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2019, and 2,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
which vote with the Common Stock on an as-converted basis representing 26.58% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 31,
2019. The Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock held by the Notes Purchasers represented 30.06% of the voting power of the outstanding
capital stock of the Company as of December 31, 2019 giving effect to the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. On an as-converted basis,
the Convertible Notes would represent 31,497,850 shares of Common Stock, or 42.14% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of
December 31, 2019 after giving effect to the issuance and conversion. Assuming the conversion of the Convertible Notes and based on the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2019, the Notes Purchasers would beneficially own 48.78% of the shares of Common
Stock outstanding and their shares of Series A Preferred Stock will vote with the shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis, representing an
aggregate of 55.60% of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the Company.
Credit Agreements
On September 3, 2013, the Company entered into a Senior Secured First Lien Term Credit Agreement (the “Term Credit Agreement”). Additionally,
the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into an Asset Based Revolving Credit Agreement (together with the Term Credit Agreement,
the “Credit Agreements”). Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreements, the Company was provided with term loan facilities in an aggregate
principal amount of $420 million of first-lien term loans (the “First Lien Loans”). On April 12, 2019, the Company repaid approximately $312 million of
the First Lien Loans using proceeds from the sale of FPD and on May 24, 2019 repaid the remaining First Lien Loans of approximately $83 million
with the proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes.
60
61
The First Lien Loans bore 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%.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On May 26, 2016, the Company and 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 Original ABL 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 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 $80 million and $85 million of letters of credit under the ABL Credit
Agreement as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The Company had approximately $22 million and $19 million of Excess Availability under the ABL Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2019 and
2018, respectively. 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
$7 million, as of December 31, 2019 (which $7 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. Availability is subject to the borrowing base calculation, reserves and
other limitations.
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, 2019 and 2018, 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, 2019 and 2018, Kodak is not required to have a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.0 to 1.0.
To ensure Excess Availability was greater than 12.5%, Kodak funded $22 million and $3 million to the Eligible Cash account held with the ABL Credit
Agreement Administrative Agent as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which is classified as Restricted Cash in the Consolidated
Statement of Financial Position.
On January 27, 2020 Kodak exercised its right under the ABL Credit Agreement to permanently reduce lender commitments, reducing the
commitments from $150 million to $120 million. As a result, the minimum Excess Availability decreased to $15 million from the previous minimum of
$18.75 million.
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. Each existing and future direct or indirect U.S. subsidiary of the Company (other than Immaterial Subsidiaries, Unrestricted Subsidiaries
and certain other subsidiaries) agreed to provide unconditional guarantees of the obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreements.
The ABL Credit Agreement matures on May 26, 2021.
Each existing direct or indirect U.S. subsidiary of the Company (other than Immaterial Subsidiaries, Unrestricted Subsidiaries and certain other
subsidiaries) has provided an unconditional guarantee (and any such future subsidiaries must provide an unconditional guarantee) of the obligations
of the Company under the Credit Agreements. Obligations under the ABL Agreement are secured by: (i) a first lien on cash, accounts receivable,
inventory, machinery and equipment (the “ABL Collateral”) and were also secured by (ii) a second lien on the Term Collateral (as defined below).
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, 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. With the repayment of
the First Lien Loans, the obligations under the ABL Agreement are now secured by a first lien on the Term Collateral. The aggregate carrying value
of the Term Collateral and ABL Collateral as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $1,302 million and $1,310 million, respectively
Under the terms of the ABL Credit Agreement, 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, 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 both the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, which represents 1% of Kodak’s consolidated sales for both periods. These subsidiaries
had assets of $20 million and $21 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which represented 1% of Kodak’s consolidated assets as
of such dates. 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.
Debt Reporting and Other Requirements
Reporting requirements under the ABL 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, and that the opinion be reasonably acceptable to the agent. On March 6, 2020
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 have occurred in relation to the going concern explanatory paragraph in the 2019 Form 10-K audit report. 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 have occurred in relation to the going concern explanatory paragraph in the 2018 Form 10-K
audit report.
The Convertible Notes and ABL Credit Agreement 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 (ABL Credit Agreement only). In addition to other customary affirmative covenants, the Convertible Notes and ABL Credit Agreement
provide for a periodic delivery by the Company of its various financial statements as set forth in the Convertible Notes and ABL Credit Agreement.
Events of default under the Convertible Notes and/or ABL Credit Agreement include, among others, failure to pay any principal, interest or other
amount due under the applicable agreement, failure to deliver conversion shares (Convertible Notes only), breach of specific covenants and a
change of control of the Company (ABL Credit Agreement only). Upon an event of default, the applicable lenders may declare the outstanding
obligations under the applicable agreement to be immediately due and payable and exercise other rights and remedies provided for in such
agreement.
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. Kodak received a payment of $14 million from RED. Kodak is required to pay a minimum annual 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. The debt
payments to RED continue until August 2033.
NOTE 10: REDEEMABLE, CONVERTIBLE SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
On November 15, 2016, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of 5.50% Series A Preferred Stock, no par value per share, 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 or the first and second quarters of
2019. The Company declared a quarterly cash dividend in the third quarter of 2019 which was paid in October 2019 and in the fourth quarter of
2019 that was paid in January 2020.

The First Lien Loans bore 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%.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On May 26, 2016, the Company and 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 Original ABL 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 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 $80 million and $85 million of letters of credit under the ABL Credit
Agreement as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The Company had approximately $22 million and $19 million of Excess Availability under the ABL Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2019 and
2018, respectively. 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
$7 million, as of December 31, 2019 (which $7 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. Availability is subject to the borrowing base calculation, reserves and
other limitations.
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, 2019 and 2018, 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, 2019 and 2018, Kodak is not required to have a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.0 to 1.0.
To ensure Excess Availability was greater than 12.5%, Kodak funded $22 million and $3 million to the Eligible Cash account held with the ABL Credit

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

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 or the first and second quarters of
2019. The Company declared a quarterly cash dividend in the third quarter of 2019 which was paid in October 2019 and in the fourth quarter of
2019 that was paid in January 2020.

63
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 13, “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 charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The fair value of the Series A Preferred
Stock derivative as of December 31, 2019 was a liability of $1 million and is included in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated
Statement of Financial Position. The fair value of the derivative as of December 31, 2018 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 14, “Financial Instruments” for information on the
valuation of the derivative.
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.

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 13, “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 charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The fair value of the Series A Preferred
Stock derivative as of December 31, 2019 was a liability of $1 million and is included in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated
Statement of Financial Position. The fair value of the derivative as of December 31, 2018 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 14, “Financial Instruments” for information on the
valuation of the derivative.
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 12: 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
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $80 million issued under the ABL Credit Agreement as well as bank
guarantees and letters of credit of $7 million, surety bonds in the amount of $38 million, and restricted cash of $57 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, 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, 2019, 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 $8 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, 2019, 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 $56 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 13: GUARANTEES
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, 2019 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:

NOTE 14: 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 charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations). The notional amount of such contracts open at December 31, 2019 and 2018 was approximately $332 million and $415 million,
respectively. The majority of the contracts of this type held by Kodak at December 31, 2019 and 2018 were denominated in euros, Japanese yen,
Chinese renminbi and Swiss francs. The net effect of foreign currency forward contracts in the results of operations is shown in the following table:

Kodak had no derivatives designated as hedging instruments for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
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, 2019 was not significant to Kodak.
In the event of a default under the Company’s ABL Credit Agreement, 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

respectively. The majority of the contracts of this type held by Kodak at December 31, 2019 and 2018 were denominated in euros, Japanese yen,
Chinese renminbi and Swiss francs. The net effect of foreign currency forward contracts in the results of operations is shown in the following table:

Kodak had no derivatives designated as hedging instruments for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
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, 2019 was not significant to Kodak.
In the event of a default under the Company’s ABL Credit Agreement, 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.

The Fundamental Change and Reorganization Conversion values at issuance were calculated as the difference between the total value of the
Convertible Notes or Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable, and the sum of the net present value of the cash flows if the Convertible Notes are
repaid at their maturity or 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 and term extension option
derivative liability. Other than events which alter the likelihood of a fundamental change or reorganization event, the value of the Fundamental
Change and Reorganization Conversion reflect the value as of the issuance date, amortized for the passage of time. The Fundamental Change and
Reorganization Conversion value for the Series A Preferred Stock exceeded the value of the embedded conversion features derivative liability at
December 31, 2018 resulting in the derivative being reported as an asset.
The fair values of long-term borrowings were $111 million and $5 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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, 2019.
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, 2019.
As discussed in Note 9, “Debt and Finance Leases”, the Company concluded that the Convertible Notes are considered more akin to a debt-type
instrument and that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded conversion features and term extension option were not considered
clearly and closely related to the Convertible Notes. The embedded conversion features not considered clearly and closely related are the
conversion at the option of the holder (“Optional Conversion”) and the conversion in the event of a fundamental change or reorganization
(“Fundamental Change or Reorganization Conversion”). Accordingly, these embedded conversion features and term extension option were
bifurcated from the Convertible Notes and separately accounted for on a combined basis as a single derivative asset or liability. The derivative is in
a liability position at December 31, 2019 and is reported in Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The
derivative is being accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value being reported in Other charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations.
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 liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of
December 31, 2019 and Other long-term assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2018. The derivative is
being accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value being reported in Other 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, 2019 and
2018 was $1 million and $3 million, respectively. The gross fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts in a liability position as of December
31, 2019 and 2018 were $0 million and $1 million, respectively.
The fair value of the embedded conversion features and term extension option derivatives are calculated using unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair
measurements). The value of the Optional Conversion feature associated with both the Convertible Notes and Series A Preferred Stock is
calculated using a binomial lattice model. The value of the term extension option reflects the probability weighted average value of the Convertible
Notes using the original maturity date and a hypothetical extended maturity date, with all other contractual terms unchanged. The following tables
present the key inputs in the determination of fair value for the embedded conversion features and termination option derivatives.

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, 2019 and
2018 were $4 million and $3 million, respectively, and are reported in Other current assets 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, 2019 and 2018 were $61 million and $48 million, respectively,
of which $43 million and $42 million, respectively, are reported in Other current liabilities and $18 million and $6 million, respectively, are reported in
Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Revenue recognized for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the year
was $34 million in both years and primarily represented revenue from prepaid service contracts and equipment revenue recognition. Contract
liabilities as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 included $47 million and $36 million, respectively of cash payments received during the years ended
December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively .

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, 2019, Kodak had available domestic and foreign NOL carry-forwards for income tax purposes of approximately $1,452 million,
of which approximately $639 million have an indefinite carry-forward period. The remaining $813 million expire between the years 2020 and 2038.
As of December 31, 2019, Kodak had unused foreign tax credits and investment tax credits of $355 million and $46 million, respectively, with various
expiration dates through 2035.
Utilization of 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.
Kodak had deferred tax liabilities of $19 million and $22 million for potential taxes on the undistributed earnings, including foreign withholding taxes,
as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Kodak’s valuation allowance as of December 31, 2019 was $821 million. Of this amount, $168 million was attributable to Kodak’s net
deferred tax assets outside the U.S. of $322 million, and $653 million related to Kodak’s net deferred tax assets in the U.S. of $633 million,
for which Kodak believes it is not more likely than not that the assets will be realized.
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 $322 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 2019 and 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 and profits in locations outside the U.S. and accordingly recorded a provision of $19 million and $15 million,
respectively, associated with the establishment 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 be realized as a result of increased profits in a location
outside the U.S. and accordingly recorded a benefit $4 million associated with the release of a valuation allowance on those deferred tax assets.
The net deferred tax assets in excess of the valuation allowance of approximately $134 million and $145 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018,
respectively, relate primarily to NOL carry-forwards, certain tax credits, and pension related tax benefits for which Kodak believes it is more likely
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of Kodak’s liability for income taxes associated with unrecognized tax benefits is as follows

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 $14 million and $16 million of interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax benefits accrued as of
December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Kodak had uncertain tax benefits of approximately $20 million and $26 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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 $40 million to $50 million based on current estimates, which includes a U.S. federal audit issue related to years 2013 and
2014. 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 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 2019, Kodak reached a settlement outside of the U.S. and settled an audit for calendar years 2005-2008. Kodak originally recorded liabilities
for uncertain tax positions (“UTPs”) totaling $3 million (plus interest of approximately $3 million). Kodak paid $2 million in 2019 as result of this
settlement and will pay the remaining $4 million by April 2020.
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 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.
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 (‘IRS”) for years 2013 and 2014. With respect to countries outside the U.S., Kodak has substantially
concluded all material foreign income tax matters through 2012 with respective foreign tax jurisdiction authorities.
On February 21, 2020, Kodak agreed to terms with the IRS and settled the federal audit for calendar years 2013 and 2014. For these years, Kodak
originally recorded a federal UTP totaling $41 million, which was fully offset by tax attributes. This settlement will result in an increase in net deferred
tax assets and will be fully offset by a corresponding increase in Kodak’s U.S. valuation allowance, resulting in no net tax benefit.
NOTE 20: RETIREMENT PLANS
NOTE 19: 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 two years ended

(1) The severance and exit costs reserves require the outlay of cash, while long-lived asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and inventory
write-downs represent non-cash items.
(2) The $3 million and $5 million represent severance charges funded from pension plan assets, which were reclassified to Pension and other
postretirement liabilities.
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.
2018 Activity
2019 Activity
Restructuring actions taken in 2019 were initiated to reduce Kodak’s cost structure as part of its commitment to drive sustainable profitability and
included 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, 2019 Kodak recorded $16 million of charges which were reported as Restructuring
costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The 2019 severance costs related to the elimination of approximately 220 positions, including approximately 150 administrative, 65
manufacturing/service, and 5 research and development positions. The geographic composition of these positions included approximately 90 in the
U.S. and Canada, and 130 throughout the rest of the world.
As a result of these initiatives, the majority of the severance will be paid during periods through the end of the third quarter of 2020. The exit cost
reserves primarily relate to a liability whose payment timing is uncertain.
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 into 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. Effective
January 1, 2020, the credits will increase to either 9% or 10% of pay.
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.

Kodak had uncertain tax benefits of approximately $20 million and $26 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, that, if recognized,
2018 Activity
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 $40 million to $50 million based on current estimates, which includes a U.S. federal audit issue related to years 2013 and
2014. 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 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 2019, Kodak reached a settlement outside of the U.S. and settled an audit for calendar years 2005-2008. Kodak originally recorded liabilities
for uncertain tax positions (“UTPs”) totaling $3 million (plus interest of approximately $3 million). Kodak paid $2 million in 2019 as result of this
settlement and will pay the remaining $4 million by April 2020.
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 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.
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 (‘IRS”) for years 2013 and 2014. With respect to countries outside the U.S., Kodak has substantially
concluded all material foreign income tax matters through 2012 with respective foreign tax jurisdiction authorities.
On February 21, 2020, Kodak agreed to terms with the IRS and settled the federal audit for calendar years 2013 and 2014. For these years, Kodak
originally recorded a federal UTP totaling $41 million, which was fully offset by tax attributes. This settlement will result in an increase in net deferred
tax assets and will be fully offset by a corresponding increase in Kodak’s U.S. valuation allowance, resulting in no net tax benefit.
NOTE 19: 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 two years ended
December 31, 2019 were as follows (in millions):

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.
2019 Activity
Restructuring actions taken in 2019 were initiated to reduce Kodak’s cost structure as part of its commitment to drive sustainable profitability and
included 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, 2019 Kodak recorded $16 million of charges which were reported as Restructuring
costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The 2019 severance costs related to the elimination of approximately 220 positions, including approximately 150 administrative, 65
manufacturing/service, and 5 research and development positions. The geographic composition of these positions included approximately 90 in the
U.S. and Canada, and 130 throughout the rest of the world.
As a result of these initiatives, the majority of the severance will be paid during periods through the end of the third quarter of 2020. The exit cost
reserves primarily relate to a liability whose payment timing is uncertain.
NOTE 20: 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 into 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'

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 as of December 31, 2019 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, 2019, 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 6.0%.
As with KRIP, the EROA assumptions for certain of Kodak’s other pension plans were reassessed as of December 31, 2019. The weighted average
annual expected return on plan assets for the major non-U.S. pension plans was 3.3% based on the plans’ respective asset allocations as of
December 31, 2019.
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, 2019 and
2018, there were no significant concentrations (defined as greater than 10% of plan assets) of risk in Kodak’s defined benefit plan assets.

Kodak’s asset allocations by level within the fair value hierarchy at December 31, 2019 and 2018 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.
The weighted-average assumptions used to determine the benefit obligation amounts for all major funded and unfunded U.S. and Non-U.S. defined
benefit plans were as follows:

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 as of December 31, 2019 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, 2019, 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 6.0%.
As with KRIP, the EROA assumptions for certain of Kodak’s other pension plans were reassessed as of December 31, 2019. The weighted average
annual expected return on plan assets for the major non-U.S. pension plans was 3.3% based on the plans’ respective asset allocations as of
December 31, 2019.
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, 2019 and
2018, there were no significant concentrations (defined as greater than 10% of plan assets) of risk in Kodak’s defined benefit plan assets.

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, 2019 investments shown in the major U.S. plans table above, 4% 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, 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, 2019 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 2 years duration and are reported in those respective classes. 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.

NOTE 22: 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, 2019 and 2018 follows (in
millions):
Loss from continuing operations attributable to Eastman
Kodak Company
Less: Series A Preferred Stock cash and accrued dividends
Less: Series A Preferred Stock deemed dividends
Loss from continuing operations available to common
shareholders - basic and diluted

As a result of the net loss from continuing operations available to common shareholders for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 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 years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the calculation of diluted earnings per share would have
included the assumed conversion of 0.6 million and 0.3 million unvested restricted stock units.
The computation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 excluded the impact of (1) the assumed conversion
of 2.0 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and (2) the assumed conversion of 6.8 million and 5.2 million outstanding employee stock options,
respectively, because they would have been anti-dilutive. The computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2019 also
excluded the assumed conversion of $100 million of Convertible Notes because the effects would have been anti-dilutive.
NOTE 23: 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.
There were no options exercised in 2019 or 2018.
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.
90
91
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 2.5 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
and 2018.
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 for both the years ended December 31, 2019
The weighted average grant date fair value of restricted stock unit awards granted for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $2.93 and
$3.66, respectively. The total fair value of restricted stock units that vested was $2 million and $3 million for the years ended December 31, 2019
and 2018, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, there was $0.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock units. The
cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 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.
The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $1.73 and $2.47, respectively.
The total fair value of options that vested during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $7 million and $5 million, respectively.
Compensation cost related to stock options for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $5 million and $4 million, respectively.
As of December 31, 2019, there was $0.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options. The cost is expected to be recognized
over a weighted average period of 1.0 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.

As a result of the net loss from continuing operations available to common shareholders for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, Kodak
calculated diluted earnings per share using weighted-average basic shares outstanding. If Kodak reported earnings from continuing operations

included the assumed conversion of 0.6 million and 0.3 million unvested restricted stock units.

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 2.5 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

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 for both the years ended December 31, 2019
and 2018.
The weighted average grant date fair value of restricted stock unit awards granted for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $2.93 and
$3.66, respectively. The total fair value of restricted stock units that vested was $2 million and $3 million for the years ended December 31, 2019

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

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.

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.
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.

NOTE 29: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Flexographic Packaging segment
(“FPD”).
Discontinued operations of Kodak include the former Flexographic Packaging segment comprised of Kodak’s Flexographic Packaging Business
Kodak consummated the sale of certain assets of FPD to MIR Bidco, SA (the “Purchaser”) on April 8, 2019 for net cash consideration at closing, in
addition to the assumption by Purchaser of certain liabilities of FPD, of $320 million, pursuant to the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (“SAPA”)
signed in November 2018 and amended in March 2019. Assets and liabilities of FPD in China were transferred at a deferred closing on July 1, 2019
for net cash consideration of $5.9 million at closing and a promissory note for $1.4 million in addition to the assumption by Purchaser of certain
liabilities of FPD, in accordance with the SAPA. Kodak operated FPD in China, subject to certain covenants, until the deferred closing occurred.
The promissory note was reduced by a true-up payment of $0.2 million owed by Kodak to the Purchaser which reflected the actual economic benefit
attributable to the operation of FPD in China from the time of the initial closing through the time of the deferred closing.
The divested business has the right to use Kodak’s corporate brand for a 10-year period related to Covered Products (as defined in the SAPA) for no
additional consideration. Therefore, $10 million of consideration received for the sale of FPD was recognized as deferred revenue related to the
brand license. The deferred revenue is reported in Long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and will be recognized
as revenue over the term of the license. Proceeds were allocated between the sale of FPD and the brand license based on their relative fair values.
Kodak recognized an after- tax gain on the sale of FPD of $212 million in the year ended December 31, 2019.

December 31, 2019 and 2018, the company owed Kodak $1 million.
NOTE 29: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Flexographic Packaging segment
Discontinued operations of Kodak include the former Flexographic Packaging segment comprised of Kodak’s Flexographic Packaging Business
(“FPD”).
Kodak consummated the sale of certain assets of FPD to MIR Bidco, SA (the “Purchaser”) on April 8, 2019 for net cash consideration at closing, in
addition to the assumption by Purchaser of certain liabilities of FPD, of $320 million, pursuant to the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (“SAPA”)
signed in November 2018 and amended in March 2019. Assets and liabilities of FPD in China were transferred at a deferred closing on July 1, 2019
for net cash consideration of $5.9 million at closing and a promissory note for $1.4 million in addition to the assumption by Purchaser of certain
liabilities of FPD, in accordance with the SAPA. Kodak operated FPD in China, subject to certain covenants, until the deferred closing occurred.
The promissory note was reduced by a true-up payment of $0.2 million owed by Kodak to the Purchaser which reflected the actual economic benefit
attributable to the operation of FPD in China from the time of the initial closing through the time of the deferred closing.
The divested business has the right to use Kodak’s corporate brand for a 10-year period related to Covered Products (as defined in the SAPA) for no
additional consideration. Therefore, $10 million of consideration received for the sale of FPD was recognized as deferred revenue related to the
brand license. The deferred revenue is reported in Long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and will be recognized
as revenue over the term of the license. Proceeds were allocated between the sale of FPD and the brand license based on their relative fair values.
Kodak recognized an after- tax gain on the sale of FPD of $212 million in the year ended December 31, 2019.

Simultaneously with entering into the SAPA, the Company and the Purchaser entered into an Earn-out Agreement, pursuant to which the Company
will be entitled to an aggregate of up to $35 million in additional cash consideration if FPD achieves agreed EBITDA targets for 2018 ($10 million
earn-out), 2019 ($10 million earn-out) and 2020 ($15 million earn-out). The EBITDA target for 2018 was not achieved. The FPD 2019 results are
not yet available.
On April 16, 2019 the Purchaser paid Kodak $15 million as a prepayment for services and products to be provided by Kodak to the Purchaser. The
Purchaser has the option to satisfy its payment obligations to Kodak through a reduction of the prepayment balance or in cash. As of December 31,
2019, the remaining prepayment balance was $3 million.
The results of operations of FPD are classified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for all periods presented.
Direct operating expenses of the discontinued operations are included in the results of discontinued operations. Indirect expenses that were
historically allocated to the discontinued operations have been included in the results of continuing operations. Prior period results have been
reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
The results of operations of the Business are presented below:

A dedicated entity of FPD had intercompany receivables with Kodak of approximately $5 million as of December 31, 2018 that were part of the
transaction but are not reflected in the table above as these amounts have been eliminated in deriving the consolidated financial statements
On August 3, 2019 Kodak reached an agreement with Lucky HuaGuang Graphics Co. Ltd (“HuaGuang”) to establish a strategic relationship in the
People’s Republic of China. The relationship is comprised of an agreement for Kodak to sell its shares of the Kodak (China) Graphic
Communication Co. Ltd. entity which includes the offset printing plates facility in Xiamen, China, and related assets and liabilities, to HuaGuang, a
supply agreement from HuaGuang to Kodak and a license agreement under which Kodak licenses its plates technology to HuaGuang to sell into the
plates market in China. The relationship was established at a closing on September 1, 2019 for net cash consideration at closing, in addition to the
assumption by HuaGuang of certain liabilities, of $30 million and promissory notes of $8 million representing the outstanding amount of net
intercompany receivables owed by Kodak to the Kodak (China) Graphic Communication Co. Ltd at the time of closing. The promissory notes were
repaid in full in November 2019.
The relationship with HuaGuang includes a license agreement under which Kodak licenses its plates technology to HuaGuang. Therefore, $13
million of the $30 million of consideration received was recognized as licensing revenue in the Print Systems segment in the three months ended
September 30, 2019. Proceeds were allocated between the sale of the business and the intellectual property license based on their relative fair
values.

ITEM 9A. 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 Executive Chairman and
Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Kodak’s management, with participation of Kodak’s
Executive Chairman 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 Executive Chairman 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, 2019. 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, 2019.
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.

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, 2020.
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 mailing documents to you.
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.

The Board recommends you vote FOR each of the director nominees listed in Proposal 1, FOR Proposals 2, 4 and 5, and
“ONE YEAR” for Proposal 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, 2020.
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 mailing documents to you.
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, 2020, at
(cid:3)
www.edocumentview.com/KODK. We are also making our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K available at the same time
and by the same method. The 2019 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
electronically via the internet 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 participate in 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 electronically 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 electronically at the Annual Meeting and submitting proof of your legal proxy reflecting the number of
shares you held as of the record date along with your name to Computershare following the instructions below. Requests for
registration must be labeled as “Legal Proxy” and be received no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on May 18, 2020. You
will then receive a confirmation of your registration, with a control number, by email. In order to vote your shares, you must
either: 1) obtain a legal proxy that gives you the right to vote the shares electronically via the internet 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 using electronic voting options included as part of the live webcast during 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.
Q. What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions?
A. Shareholder of Record. If you are a shareholder of record and you:
(cid:3)
• 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, FOR Proposals 2, 4 and 5, and ONE YEAR for
Proposal 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 electronically via the internet at the Annual Meeting, your
shares will not be voted or counted with respect to Proposals 1, 2, 3 and 4, which are non-routine proposals. Your broker,
trustee or nominee has discretionary authority to vote your uninstructed shares with respect to Proposal 5, 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, and wish to vote before the
Annual Meeting your vote must be received by 1:00 a.m. Eastern Time, on May 20, 2020, the morning of the Annual
Meeting, otherwise Computershare must receive your paper proxy card before May 20, 2020. You may also vote
electronically during the virtual Annual Meeting via the live webcast by accessing www.meetingcenter.io/296633343 and
entering the 15-digit control number on your proxy card or Notice of Internet Availability. The password for the meeting is

nominee.
Q. Who can vote?
A. You must be a shareholder of record or a beneficial owner as of the close of business on March 26, 2020, 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
• Participating in the Annual Meeting webcast and voting electronically during the meeting. Attending the meeting without
voting during the meeting will not, by itself, revoke a previously submitted proxy.
Beneficial Owner. If you are a beneficial owner, please follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, trustee or
nominee.

Q. What vote is required to approve each proposal?
A. The following table describes the voting requirements for each proposal:
(cid:3)
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 2020 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 - Advisory Vote on the Frequency (once every one,
two or three years) of Future Advisory Votes on the
Compensation of our Named Executive Officers
The frequency (once every one, two or three years) that
receives the most votes cast at the Annual Meeting by holders
entitled to vote thereon will be approved on an advisory basis.
Proposal 4 - Vote to Approve the Amendment and Restatement
of the Company’s 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan
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 5 - Ratification of the Audit and Finance Committee’s
Selection of Ernst & Young 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, 4 and 5. In tabulating the voting results for
these proposals, “FOR” and “AGAINST” votes are counted. For Proposals 2 and 5, abstentions are not counted and will not
impact the outcome of the vote. For Proposal 4, under NYSE rules, abstentions are treated as votes that are cast against
the proposal. With respect to Proposals 2 and 4, 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 5 relating to the ratification of the selection of our
independent registered public accounting firm.
For Proposal 3, you are being asked to vote to set a one, two or three year interval between shareholder “say-on-pay”
votes. The outcome of this vote will be determined by a plurality of the votes cast. This means that the frequency receiving
the greatest number of votes will be deemed to have been selected by the shareholders. Abstentions and broker non-votes
will have no effect on the outcome of this matter.
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 virtual Annual Meeting?
A.
If you held your shares as of the close of business on March 26, 2020, the record date for the Annual Meeting, you may
attend the virtual Annual meeting and electronically vote on the proposals for consideration at the Annual Meeting.
Q. What do I need to do to participate in the Annual Meeting?
A. We are sensitive to the public health and travel concerns our shareholders may have and the protocols that federal,
state, and local governments may impose as it relates to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, after careful
consideration, the Board has determined that the Annual Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of shareholders,
which will be conducted exclusively by a live webcast. You are entitled to participate in the Annual Meeting only if you
were a shareholder of the Company as of the close of business on the record date or if you hold a valid proxy for the
Annual Meeting. No physical meeting will be held this year, and you will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in
person. Our decision to hold the annual meeting in a virtual format relates only to this year’s Annual Meeting.
Shareholders will be able to attend the Annual Meeting online and submit questions during the meeting by visiting
http://www.meetingcenter.io/296633343. You also will be able to vote your shares online by attending the Annual
Meeting by webcast. To participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need to review the information included on your
Notice of Internet Availability, on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. You will

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 27,584,636 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 after 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?

Q. What vote is required to approve each proposal?
A. The following table describes the voting requirements for each proposal:
(cid:3)
Proposal 1 - Election of Directors
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 2020 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.
Proposal 2 - Advisory Vote to Approve the Compensation of our
To be approved, this proposal must receive the affirmative
Named Executive Officers
vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by
holders entitled to vote thereon.
Proposal 3 - Advisory Vote on the Frequency (once every one,

receives the most votes cast at the Annual Meeting by holders
Compensation of our Named Executive Officers
entitled to vote thereon will be approved on an advisory basis.
Proposal 4 - Vote to Approve the Amendment and Restatement
To be approved, this proposal must receive the affirmative
of the Company’s 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan
vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by
holders entitled to vote thereon.
Proposal 5 - Ratification of the Audit and Finance Committee’s
To be approved, this proposal must receive the affirmative
Selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our
vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
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, 4 and 5. In tabulating the voting results for
these proposals, “FOR” and “AGAINST” votes are counted. For Proposals 2 and 5, abstentions are not counted and will not
impact the outcome of the vote. For Proposal 4, under NYSE rules, abstentions are treated as votes that are cast against
the proposal. With respect to Proposals 2 and 4, 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 5 relating to the ratification of the selection of our
independent registered public accounting firm.
For Proposal 3, you are being asked to vote to set a one, two or three year interval between shareholder “say-on-pay”
votes. The outcome of this vote will be determined by a plurality of the votes cast. This means that the frequency receiving
the greatest number of votes will be deemed to have been selected by the shareholders. Abstentions and broker non-votes
will have no effect on the outcome of this matter.
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 virtual Annual Meeting?
A.
If you held your shares as of the close of business on March 26, 2020, the record date for the Annual Meeting, you may
attend the virtual Annual meeting and electronically vote on the proposals for consideration at the Annual Meeting.
(cid:3)
Q. What do I need to do to participate in the Annual Meeting?
A. We are sensitive to the public health and travel concerns our shareholders may have and the protocols that federal,
state, and local governments may impose as it relates to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, after careful
consideration, the Board has determined that the Annual Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of shareholders,
which will be conducted exclusively by a live webcast. You are entitled to participate in the Annual Meeting only if you
were a shareholder of the Company as of the close of business on the record date or if you hold a valid proxy for the
Annual Meeting. No physical meeting will be held this year, and you will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in
person. Our decision to hold the annual meeting in a virtual format relates only to this year’s Annual Meeting.
Shareholders will be able to attend the Annual Meeting online and submit questions during the meeting by visiting

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 26, 2020 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 26, 2020, there were 43,675,070 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

could be converted. Accordingly, holders entitled to cast 27,584,636 votes will constitute a quorum for the Annual Meeting.

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

(cid:3)
nominations, as opposed to recommendations of nominees for consideration by our Corporate Governance and Nominating
(cid:3)
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 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the 2021 Annual Meeting),
notice of nomination must be delivered to our Secretary no earlier than January 20, 2021 and no later than February 19,
2021.
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 2021 Annual Meeting.
Q. What is the deadline to propose actions for consideration at the 2021 Annual Meeting?
A. For a shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement for the 2021 Annual Meeting, the Secretary
must receive the written proposal at our principal executive office no later than the close of business on December 8, 2020.
Proposals received after this date will be considered untimely. Proposals must comply with SEC regulations under Rule

proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials. Proposals should be addressed to:

By-laws, which, in general, require that the notice be received by the Secretary:

• No later than the close of business on February 19, 2021.

Rule 14a-8 must be received no earlier than the close of business 120 days prior to the anniversary of the 2020 Annual
Meeting and no later than the close of business on the later of the following two dates:

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

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 2019, the Board held a total of 10 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, except Mr. New, attended the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 22, 2019.
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
Strategic Role of the 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.
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
14
(cid:3)

(cid:3)
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).
(cid:3)
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 2020, 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.
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.
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
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

past and expected future contributions to us, the overall composition of the Board and whether accepting the resignation letter

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, the committees of the Board oversee:
• 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.
REPORT OF THE AUDIT AND FINANCE COMMITTEE
(cid:3)
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) for 2019,
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), was responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial
statements 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 2019, 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, and in the case of internal audit 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, 2019, 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 for 2019. 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.

• An annual base salary of $1 million;
• Participation in our EXCEL Plan, with an annual target opportunity of 100% of base salary and a maximum of
200% of target;
• An annual grant of stock options having an aggregate grant date fair value of $1,000,000, which vest over a
three-year period (33.3% vests each year) and with an exercise price equal to the greater of $15 or the closing
price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant;
• A contingent cash award with a target value of $3M and vesting predicated on the achievement of Cumulative
Cash Flow from Operations of $100M over the three-year performance period of 2017 through 2019, subject to
Mr. Clarke’s continued employment through the end of the performance period, which was awarded in 2017;
and
• Participation in all benefit plans, policies and arrangements that are provided to employees generally.
The amended and restated employment agreement provided that if Mr. Clarke’s employment was terminated by us without
cause or by him with good reason (including an involuntary termination within two years following a change in control), he would
be eligible to receive (less applicable withholding):
• An amount equal to his base salary for the year his termination notice was given multiplied by two;
• Accelerated vesting of the next tranche of his stock options that would have vested had he remained employed
through such following vesting date; and
• A pro rata EXCEL award for the fiscal year in which the termination occurred, if earned, as governed by the
terms of the EXCEL Plan and applicable Administrative Guide or Award Notice.
Mr. Clarke became eligible to receive the foregoing severance benefits in connection with his termination of employment in
February 2019. Eligibility to receive the severance benefits payable in connection with his termination was subject to (1)
execution of a general release and covenant not to sue in favor of us; and (2) compliance with a non-compete agreement after
termination of employment. The severance payments provided under the amended and restated employment agreement were in
lieu of those provided under our Termination Allowance Plan.

Tax-Qualified Retirement Plans
(cid:3)
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.
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%, for non-exempt employees, and 8%, for exempt employees, of the employee’s monthly pay, which was previously 4% for
cash balance participants.
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% or 8%, as applicable, 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). In addition, the ongoing balance of the employee’s account earns interest at the
30 year Treasury bond rate. Employees rights under the cash balance component are fully 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.
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
Except for Mr. Continenza, none of our named executive officers have non-qualified deferred compensation.
Effective December 26, 2013, we adopted the Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, which allows non-employee directors
to defer some or all of their Board Retainer and RSU awards into a phantom stock account.
Mr. Continenza received a grant of 88,029 RSUs on January 8, 2019 for his service as a director and prior to his appointment as
our Executive Chairman, all of which were deferred under this plan.

200% of target;
• An initial grant of equity having an aggregate grant date fair value of $600,000; and

reason, he will be eligible to receive (less applicable withholding):

• Continued vesting of his equity grants in accordance with the terms of such awards; and
• Eligibility for an EXCEL award for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs, if earned, as governed by the
terms of the EXCEL Plan and applicable Administrative Guide or Award Notice.
The employment agreement provides that in the event that Mr. Bullwinkle’s employment is terminated due to his disability or
death, he or his estate, as applicable, will be eligible to receive (less applicable withholding) continued vesting of his equity
awards in accordance with the terms of such awards and a pro rata EXCEL award, if earned, as governed by the terms of the
EXCEL Plan and applicable Administrative Guide or Award Notice.
Eligibility to receive the severance benefits payable in connection with termination without cause or with good reason is subject
to (1) execution of a general release and covenant not to sue in favor of us; and (2) compliance with a non-compete agreement
after termination of employment. The severance payments provided under the employment agreement are in lieu of those
provided under our Termination Allowance Plan.
Eric-Yves Mahe
We employed Mr. Mahe under an employment agreement effective April 28, 2014 with no scheduled term ending date. Under

• Eligibility for an EXCEL award for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs, if earned, as governed by the

PROPOSAL 2 - ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE
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
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 2020 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 2019 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.

PROPOSAL 3 - ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON THE
COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
In Proposal 2 above, we are asking shareholders to vote on an advisory resolution on the compensation of our named executive
officers (the “say-on-pay” vote). Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, in this Proposal 3, we are asking shareholders to
provide an advisory vote on whether future say-on-pay votes should occur every year, every two years or every three years. You
also may abstain from voting. Shareholders will have an opportunity to cast an advisory vote on the frequency of future say-on-
pay votes at least every six years.
Shareholder approval of the frequency of advisory shareholder votes on compensation of the named executive officers is being
sought through the following resolution:
RESOLVED, that the shareholders advise that an advisory resolution with respect to executive compensation should be
presented to the shareholders every one, two, or three years as reflected by their votes for each of these alternatives in
connection with this resolution.
Our Board of Directors understands that there are different views as to what is an appropriate frequency for advisory votes on
named executive officer compensation. After careful consideration, the Board is recommending that future say-on-pay votes
occur every year. We believe that this frequency is appropriate because it provides shareholders with an opportunity to express
their opinion annually as to named executive officer compensation, because it may change from year to year. Unless we modify
our policy regarding the frequency of future say-on-pay votes, including after consideration of the outcome of this advisory vote,
we expect that our next say-on-pay vote will occur in 2021.
This advisory vote is non-binding on us, our Board and the Executive Compensation Committee of the board of directors, and
may not be construed as overruling any decision made by the Board. However, the Board and the Executive Compensation
Committee will consider the voting results on this proposal in determining the frequency of future say-on-pay votes.
Shareholders will be able to specify one of four choices for this proposal on the proxy card: ONE YEAR, TWO YEARS, THREE
YEARS, or ABSTAIN. The outcome of this vote will be determined by a plurality of the votes cast. This means that the
frequency that receives the most affirmative votes will be the frequency approved by our shareholders. Withheld votes,
abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this matter.
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that the shareholders vote ONE YEAR so that the
frequency of voting on the compensation of our named executive officers occurs every year.
PROPOSAL 4 – APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE COMPANY’S 2013
PROPOSAL 4
(cid:3)
OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
INTRODUCTION
You are being asked to approve the amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the Amended
Plan) to: 1) increase the maximum number of shares of common stock of the Company available for grant to participants
pursuant to awards under the Amended Plan; 2) remove the provisions with respect to the performance-based compensation
exception under Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), which was eliminated by
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Tax Act), for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, while retaining the annual limits on
awards that may be granted; and 3) reduce the maximum aggregate grant date fair value of awards in respect of a calendar year
that may be granted to a member of the Board of Directors. On April 2, 2020, the Board of Directors approved the Amended Plan
and the submission of the Amended Plan to the shareholders for their approval. Approval of the Amended Plan by shareholders
will enable the Company to continue to grant equity awards to employees and directors of the Company.
Approval of the Amended Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by holders
entitled to vote thereon.
BACKGROUND
The Amended Plan provides for the grant of various types of equity awards (Options, Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs),
Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), Other Stock-Based Awards and cash awards).
The 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the Plan) originally became effective as of September 3, 2013, was amended to increase the
maximum number of shares available for grant effective May 22, 2018, and was further amended to increase the limit on the
number of options or stock appreciation rights that may be granted to an employee in any calendar year on February 20, 2019.
The closing stock price of a share of the Company’s common stock as reported on the NYSE on April 1, 2020 was $1.65.
TERMS OF THE AMENDMENTS
The Plan currently provides that the maximum number of shares available for grant to participants pursuant to awards under the
Plan is 5,792,480 shares. The Amended Plan would increase this maximum number of available shares to 8,000,000 shares.
The Plan currently provides that awards may be in the form of performance-based compensation awards. The Plan sets forth the
types of performance goals and the procedural requirements to permit the Company to grant performance-based compensation
awards that comply with the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Code. The Amended Plan
would remove the provisions with respect to the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Code,
which was eliminated by the Tax Act, but, for the avoidance of doubt, would continue to permit the granting of awards subject to
achievement of performance conditions.
The Plan currently provides that the maximum aggregate grant date fair value of awards made to a member of the Board of
Directors in a single calendar year may not exceed $900,000. The Amended Plan would reduce this limit to $450,000.
The Amended Plan would also extend the term of the Plan to May 20, 2030.
SUMMARY OF THE PLAN
The following summary of the Amended Plan is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Amended Plan document, a copy of
which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A.
The purpose of the Amended Plan is to attract, retain and motivate officers, employees, and non-employee directors providing
services to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and to promote the success of the Company’s business by
Purpose
providing such persons with appropriate incentives.
Administration
The Executive Compensation Committee (the Committee) will administer the Amended Plan. However, if a Committee member
does not meet the following requirements, the Committee may delegate some or all of its functions to another committee that
meets these requirements. Generally, the Committee must consist of two or more directors, each of whom is: 1) an independent

PROPOSAL 3 - ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON THE
COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
In Proposal 2 above, we are asking shareholders to vote on an advisory resolution on the compensation of our named executive
officers (the “say-on-pay” vote). Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, in this Proposal 3, we are asking shareholders to
provide an advisory vote on whether future say-on-pay votes should occur every year, every two years or every three years. You
also may abstain from voting. Shareholders will have an opportunity to cast an advisory vote on the frequency of future say-on-
pay votes at least every six years.
sought through the following resolution:
Shareholder approval of the frequency of advisory shareholder votes on compensation of the named executive officers is being
RESOLVED, that the shareholders advise that an advisory resolution with respect to executive compensation should be
presented to the shareholders every one, two, or three years as reflected by their votes for each of these alternatives in
connection with this resolution.
Our Board of Directors understands that there are different views as to what is an appropriate frequency for advisory votes on
named executive officer compensation. After careful consideration, the Board is recommending that future say-on-pay votes
occur every year. We believe that this frequency is appropriate because it provides shareholders with an opportunity to express
their opinion annually as to named executive officer compensation, because it may change from year to year. Unless we modify
our policy regarding the frequency of future say-on-pay votes, including after consideration of the outcome of this advisory vote,
we expect that our next say-on-pay vote will occur in 2021.
This advisory vote is non-binding on us, our Board and the Executive Compensation Committee of the board of directors, and
may not be construed as overruling any decision made by the Board. However, the Board and the Executive Compensation
Committee will consider the voting results on this proposal in determining the frequency of future say-on-pay votes.
Shareholders will be able to specify one of four choices for this proposal on the proxy card: ONE YEAR, TWO YEARS, THREE
YEARS, or ABSTAIN. The outcome of this vote will be determined by a plurality of the votes cast. This means that the
frequency that receives the most affirmative votes will be the frequency approved by our shareholders. Withheld votes,
abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this matter.
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that the shareholders vote ONE YEAR so that the
frequency of voting on the compensation of our named executive officers occurs every year.

number of options or stock appreciation rights that may be granted to an employee in any calendar year on February 20, 2019.
The closing stock price of a share of the Company’s common stock as reported on the NYSE on April 1, 2020 was $1.65.
TERMS OF THE AMENDMENTS
The Plan currently provides that the maximum number of shares available for grant to participants pursuant to awards under the
Plan is 5,792,480 shares. The Amended Plan would increase this maximum number of available shares to 8,000,000 shares.
The Plan currently provides that awards may be in the form of performance-based compensation awards. The Plan sets forth the
types of performance goals and the procedural requirements to permit the Company to grant performance-based compensation
awards that comply with the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Code. The Amended Plan
would remove the provisions with respect to the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Code,
which was eliminated by the Tax Act, but, for the avoidance of doubt, would continue to permit the granting of awards subject to
achievement of performance conditions.
The Plan currently provides that the maximum aggregate grant date fair value of awards made to a member of the Board of
Directors in a single calendar year may not exceed $900,000. The Amended Plan would reduce this limit to $450,000.
The Amended Plan would also extend the term of the Plan to May 20, 2030.
SUMMARY OF THE PLAN
The following summary of the Amended Plan is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Amended Plan document, a copy of
which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A.
Purpose
The purpose of the Amended Plan is to attract, retain and motivate officers, employees, and non-employee directors providing
services to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and to promote the success of the Company’s business by
providing such persons with appropriate incentives.
Administration
The Executive Compensation Committee (the Committee) will administer the Amended Plan. However, if a Committee member
does not meet the following requirements, the Committee may delegate some or all of its functions to another committee that
meets these requirements. Generally, the Committee must consist of two or more directors, each of whom is: 1) an independent
30
(cid:3)
31
(cid:3)
director under the listing requirements of the NYSE; and 2) a non-employee director within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the
(cid:3)
Exchange Act.
the first time by an eligible employee during any calendar year under all stock option plans of the Company and of any subsidiary
Eligibility for Participation
The following persons are eligible to participate in the Amended Plan:
•
•
All employees of the Company, any of its 50% or more owned subsidiaries or any of its affiliates; and
The non-employee directors of the Company.
The selection of those employees who will receive awards is entirely within the discretion of the Committee. There are currently
approximately 4,538 employees who are eligible to participate in the Amended Plan, together with the Company’s six non-
employee directors.
Types of Awards
The Amended Plan authorizes the grant of:
Nonqualified and Incentive Stock Options;
SARs;
Restricted Stock Awards and RSUs;
Dividend Equivalent Rights;
•
•
•
•
• Other Stock-Based Awards (stock-based awards granted either as freestanding grants or payments of
earned performance awards); and
Cash awards (including, without limitation, retainers and meeting-based fees).
•
Termination and Amendment of the Amended Plan
The Committee may from time to time amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Amended Plan in any respect
whatsoever, including in any manner that adversely affects the rights, duties or obligations of any participant; provided that,
subject to the provisions of the Amended Plan regarding adjustments in authorized shares in the case of certain corporate events
or transactions, or as otherwise specifically provided in the Amended Plan, no amendment shall materially adversely impair the
rights of a participant under any award without the participant’s consent.
Shareholder approval will be required for any amendment to the Amended Plan that: (i) increases the number of shares available
under the Amended Plan (other than an increase permitted under Article 5 of the Amended Plan); (ii) expands the types of
awards available under the Amended Plan; (iii) materially extends the term of the Amended Plan; (iv) materially changes the
method of determining the option price or grant price per share for SARs; or (v) except as permitted pursuant to Article 14 of the
Amended Plan, reduces the option price or grant price per share, as applicable, of any outstanding Options or SARs.
Available Shares
Subject to adjustment as provided in Article 14 of the Amended Plan, the maximum number of shares available for grant to
participants pursuant to awards under the Amended Plan shall be equal to 8,000,000 shares. The number of shares available for
granting Incentive Stock Options under the Amended Plan shall not exceed 2,000,000. The shares available for issuance under
the Amended Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares. The share reserve
under the Amended Plan is increased by: (i) any shares delivered to the Company or withheld by the Company in payment or
satisfaction of the tax withholding obligation of an award; and (ii) any shares underlying awards that expire, are forfeited,
cancelled or otherwise terminated without the issuance of the shares, or are otherwise settled for cash. The aggregate number of
shares will not be reduced by shares granted by the Company in assumption of, or exchange for, awards granted by another
company as a result of a merger or consolidation. The number of shares under the Amended Plan may be adjusted for changes
in the Company’s capital structure, such as a stock split or merger.
The number of shares granted under the Amended Plan will be determined as follows: (i) each Restricted Stock Award, RSU and
similar award will count as one share; and (ii) each Option, SAR and similar award will count as a fraction of a share, based on
the financial value of each such award relative to a share, as determined by the Committee promptly after the effective date of
the Amended Plan.
Award Limits
The maximum number of shares for which Options or SARs may be granted to any one employee during any calendar year is
2,000,000 shares. The aggregate fair market value of shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for

Stock Options
The Committee may grant awards in the form of Options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. For each Option
grant, the Committee will determine the number of shares subject to the Option and the manner and time of the Option’s
exercise, provided that no Option will be exercisable after ten years from the date of its grant. The Committee may condition the
grant of Options or the vesting of Options upon the participant’s achievement of one or more performance goals (including the
participant’s provision of services for a designated time period). The exercise price of an Option may not be less than the fair
market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the Option is granted. Upon exercise, a participant may pay the
exercise price in cash, shares of common stock, a combination thereof or such other consideration as the Committee
determines. Any Option granted in the form of an Incentive Stock Option is intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of

The Committee may grant SARs either in tandem with an Option (Tandem SARs) or independent of an Option (Freestanding
A Tandem SAR may be granted at the time of the grant of the related Option. A Tandem SAR will be exercisable to the extent its
related Option is exercisable, and the exercise price of such a SAR may not be less than the fair market value of the Company’s
common stock on the date the SAR is granted. Upon the exercise of an Option as to some or all of the shares covered by the
award, the related Tandem SAR will automatically be cancelled to the extent of the number of shares covered by the Option
exercise. Upon the exercise of all or a portion of a Tandem SAR, an equivalent portion of the related Option will be forfeited.
The Committee will determine the number of shares subject to a Freestanding SAR and the manner and time of the SAR’s
exercise. Freestanding SARs must be granted for a term of ten years or less and may generally have the same terms and
conditions as Options. The exercise price of a Freestanding SAR may not be less than the fair market value of the Company’s
common stock on the date of grant.
Other Awards
Awards may be granted in the form of Restricted Stock Awards, RSUs and Other Stock-Based Awards. These awards are
subject to such terms, restrictions and conditions as the Committee may determine, including the participant’s achievement of
one or more performance goals (including the participant’s provision of services for a designated time period).
Participants receiving a Restricted Stock Award, unless otherwise provided in the award agreement, shall have the right to vote
and receive dividends on the shares underlying such award during the restriction period. At the end of the restriction period, the
restrictions imposed under the Plan and under the award agreement shall lapse with respect to the number of shares underlying
the Restricted Stock Award as determined by the Committee, and such number of shares shall be delivered to the participant.
Participants receiving RSUs will have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company and no rights as a
shareholder of the Company until delivery of shares, cash or other securities or property is made as specified in the applicable
award agreement. On the delivery date specified in the award agreement, with respect to each RSU not previously forfeited or
terminated, the participant will receive one share, cash or other securities or property equal in value to a share or a combination
thereof, as specified by the Committee.
Dividend Equivalent Rights
For Restricted Stock Awards, RSUs and Other Stock-Based Awards, the Committee may include as part of the award an
entitlement to receive Dividend Equivalent Rights. In the event such a provision is included in an award agreement, the
Committee will determine whether such payments will be made in cash, in shares or in another form, whether they will be
conditioned upon the exercise of the award to which they relate, the time or times at which they will be made and such other
terms and conditions as the Committee will deem appropriate.

Subject to adjustment as provided in Article 14 of the Amended Plan, the maximum number of shares available for grant to
participants pursuant to awards under the Amended Plan shall be equal to 8,000,000 shares. The number of shares available for
granting Incentive Stock Options under the Amended Plan shall not exceed 2,000,000. The shares available for issuance under

the Amended Plan.
Award Limits
The maximum number of shares for which Options or SARs may be granted to any one employee during any calendar year is
2,000,000 shares. The aggregate fair market value of shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for
the first time by an eligible employee during any calendar year under all stock option plans of the Company and of any subsidiary
(cid:3)
may not exceed $100,000.
The aggregate awards to any one non-employee director for any calendar year may not exceed a number of awards with a grant
date fair value of $450,000.
Grants to Non-U.S. Employees
To facilitate the granting of awards to participants who are employed outside of the United States, the Amended Plan authorizes
the Committee to modify and amend the terms and conditions of an award to accommodate differences in local law, policy or
custom.
Stock Options
The Committee may grant awards in the form of Options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. For each Option
grant, the Committee will determine the number of shares subject to the Option and the manner and time of the Option’s
exercise, provided that no Option will be exercisable after ten years from the date of its grant. The Committee may condition the
grant of Options or the vesting of Options upon the participant’s achievement of one or more performance goals (including the
participant’s provision of services for a designated time period). The exercise price of an Option may not be less than the fair
market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the Option is granted. Upon exercise, a participant may pay the
exercise price in cash, shares of common stock, a combination thereof or such other consideration as the Committee
determines. Any Option granted in the form of an Incentive Stock Option is intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of
the Code.
Stock Appreciation Rights
The Committee may grant SARs either in tandem with an Option (Tandem SARs) or independent of an Option (Freestanding
SARs).
A Tandem SAR may be granted at the time of the grant of the related Option. A Tandem SAR will be exercisable to the extent its
related Option is exercisable, and the exercise price of such a SAR may not be less than the fair market value of the Company’s
common stock on the date the SAR is granted. Upon the exercise of an Option as to some or all of the shares covered by the
award, the related Tandem SAR will automatically be cancelled to the extent of the number of shares covered by the Option
exercise. Upon the exercise of all or a portion of a Tandem SAR, an equivalent portion of the related Option will be forfeited.
The Committee will determine the number of shares subject to a Freestanding SAR and the manner and time of the SAR’s
exercise. Freestanding SARs must be granted for a term of ten years or less and may generally have the same terms and
conditions as Options. The exercise price of a Freestanding SAR may not be less than the fair market value of the Company’s
common stock on the date of grant.
Other Awards
Awards may be granted in the form of Restricted Stock Awards, RSUs and Other Stock-Based Awards. These awards are
subject to such terms, restrictions and conditions as the Committee may determine, including the participant’s achievement of
one or more performance goals (including the participant’s provision of services for a designated time period).
Participants receiving a Restricted Stock Award, unless otherwise provided in the award agreement, shall have the right to vote
and receive dividends on the shares underlying such award during the restriction period. At the end of the restriction period, the
restrictions imposed under the Plan and under the award agreement shall lapse with respect to the number of shares underlying
the Restricted Stock Award as determined by the Committee, and such number of shares shall be delivered to the participant.
Participants receiving RSUs will have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company and no rights as a
shareholder of the Company until delivery of shares, cash or other securities or property is made as specified in the applicable
award agreement. On the delivery date specified in the award agreement, with respect to each RSU not previously forfeited or
terminated, the participant will receive one share, cash or other securities or property equal in value to a share or a combination
thereof, as specified by the Committee.
Dividend Equivalent Rights
For Restricted Stock Awards, RSUs and Other Stock-Based Awards, the Committee may include as part of the award an
entitlement to receive Dividend Equivalent Rights. In the event such a provision is included in an award agreement, the
Committee will determine whether such payments will be made in cash, in shares or in another form, whether they will be
conditioned upon the exercise of the award to which they relate, the time or times at which they will be made and such other
terms and conditions as the Committee will deem appropriate.

Adjustments in Authorized Shares and Outstanding Awards
In the event of any corporate event or transaction involving the Company, a subsidiary and/or an affiliate (including, but not
limited to, a change in the shares of the Company or the capitalization of the Company), the Committee, to prevent dilution or
enlargement of participants’ rights under the Amended Plan, shall substitute or adjust (in each case in such manner as it deems
equitable and appropriate):
•
The number and kind of shares or other property (including cash) that may be issued under the Amended
Plan or under particular forms of awards;
The number and kind of shares or other property (including cash) subject to outstanding awards;
The option price, grant price or purchase price applicable to outstanding awards;
Any individual award limits; and/or
•
•
•
• Other value determinations applicable to the Amended Plan or outstanding awards.
Change of Control
Upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company, the Committee shall make one or more of the following adjustments
to the terms and conditions of outstanding awards to the extent determined by the Committee to be permitted under Section
409A of the Code:
•
•
•
•
•
•
continuation or assumption of such outstanding awards under the Amended Plan by the Company (if it is the
surviving company or corporation) or by the surviving company or corporation or its parent;
substitution by the surviving company or corporation or its parent of awards with substantially the same
terms for such outstanding awards;
accelerated exercisability, vesting and/or lapse of restrictions under outstanding awards immediately prior to
the occurrence of such event;
upon written notice, provide that any outstanding awards must be exercised, to the extent then exercisable,
during a reasonable period of time immediately prior to the scheduled consummation of the event, or such
other period as determined by the Committee (contingent upon the consummation of the event), and at the
end of such period, such awards shall terminate to the extent not so exercised within the relevant period;
cancellation of all or any portion of outstanding awards for fair value (as determined in the sole discretion of
the Committee and which may be zero) which, in the case of Options and SARs and similar awards, if the
Committee so determines, may equal the excess, if any, of the value of the consideration to be paid in the
Change of Control transaction to holders of the same number of shares subject to such awards (or, if no
such consideration is paid, fair market value of the shares subject to such outstanding awards or portion
thereof being canceled) over the aggregate option price or grant price, as applicable, with respect to such
awards or portion thereof being canceled (which may be zero); or
such other adjustment as determined appropriate by the Committee.
Clawback/Recoupment
Awards under the Amended Plan shall be subject to the clawback or recoupment policy, if any, that the Company may adopt
from time to time, whether before or after the grant of such awards, to the extent provided in such policy and, in accordance with
such policy, may be subject to the requirement that the awards be repaid to the Company after they have been distributed or
paid to the participant.

Committee and the Committee has not determined future awards or who might receive them. No nominee for election as a

on the date of exercise (or the amount realized on the disqualifying disposition, if less) over the exercise price paid, as ordinary
income and 2) on the excess, if any, of the amount realized on such disqualifying disposition over the fair market value of the
(cid:3)
shares on the date of exercise, as capital gain. If the amount a participant realizes from a disqualifying disposition is less than the
exercise price paid (i.e., the participant’s basis) and the loss sustained upon such disposition would otherwise be recognized, a
participant will not recognize any ordinary income from such disqualifying disposition and instead the participant will recognize a
capital loss. In the event of a disqualifying disposition, subject to applicable provisions of the Code, including Section 162(m), the
Company will be entitled to a deduction in the same amount.
Income tax withholding and employment taxes do not apply upon the exercise of an ISO or upon any subsequent disposition,
including a disqualifying disposition, of shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of the ISO.
Nonqualified Stock Options
The participant will not be subject to tax upon the grant of an Option which is a Nonqualified Stock Option. Upon exercise of a
Nonqualified Stock Option, an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares acquired on the date of exercise
over the exercise price paid is taxable to the participant as ordinary income, and subject to applicable provisions of the Code,
including Section 162(m), the Company will be entitled at that time to a deduction in the same amount. This amount of income
will be subject to income tax withholding and employment taxes. The participant’s basis in the shares received will equal the fair
market value of the shares on the date of exercise, and the participant’s holding period in such shares will begin.
Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units and Other Stock-Based Awards
A participant normally will not recognize taxable income and the Company will not be entitled to a deduction upon the grant of
Restricted Stock Awards, RSUs or Other Stock-Based Awards. When the Restricted Stock Award vests or the RSUs settle or the
Other Stock-Based Awards are paid or settle, the participant will recognize taxable ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair
market value of the shares or other property received at that time, less the amount, if any, paid for the shares, and, subject to
applicable provisions of the Code, including Section 162(m), the Company will be entitled at that time to a deduction in the same
amount. However, a participant may elect to recognize taxable ordinary income in the year a Restricted Stock Award is granted
in an amount equal to the excess of their fair market value at the grant date, determined without regard to certain restrictions,
over the amount, if any, paid for the shares. In that event, subject to applicable provisions of the Code, including Section 162(m),
the Company will be entitled to a deduction in such year in the same amount. Any gain or loss realized by the participant upon
the subsequent disposition of shares received will be taxed as short-term or long-term capital gain or loss, but will not result in

Company, the minimum statutory amount to satisfy federal, state and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or

requirement, in whole or in part, (i) by having the Company withhold shares or (ii) through an independent broker-dealer
arrangement to sell a sufficient number of shares, in each case, having a fair market value on the date the tax is to be
determined equal to the minimum statutory total tax that could be imposed on the transaction.

FEDERAL TAX TREATMENT
The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of participating in the Amended Plan. This
discussion does not purport to be a complete statement of all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences in this area,
including any state, local or foreign tax consequences of participating in the Amended Plan. This section is based on the Code,
its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations under the Code and published rulings and court decisions, all as
currently in effect. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.
Incentive Stock Options
A participant will not be subject to tax upon the grant of an Incentive Stock Option (ISO) or upon the exercise of an ISO.
However, the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price paid will be included in
a participant’s alternative minimum taxable income. Whether a participant is subject to the alternative minimum tax will depend
on the participant’s particular circumstances. The participant’s basis in the shares received will be equal to the exercise price
paid, and the participant’s holding period in such shares will begin on the day following the date of exercise.
If a participant disposes of the shares on or after the later of: 1) the second anniversary of the date of grant of the ISO and 2) the
first anniversary of the date of exercise of the ISO (the statutory holding period), the participant will recognize a capital gain or
loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on such disposition and the participant’s basis in the
shares.
If the participant disposes of the shares before the end of the statutory holding period, the participant will have engaged in a
“disqualifying disposition.” As a result, the participant will be subject to tax: 1) on the excess of the fair market value of the shares

FEDERAL TAX TREATMENT
The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of participating in the Amended Plan. This
discussion does not purport to be a complete statement of all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences in this area,
including any state, local or foreign tax consequences of participating in the Amended Plan. This section is based on the Code,
its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations under the Code and published rulings and court decisions, all as
currently in effect. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.
Incentive Stock Options
A participant will not be subject to tax upon the grant of an Incentive Stock Option (ISO) or upon the exercise of an ISO.
However, the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price paid will be included in
a participant’s alternative minimum taxable income. Whether a participant is subject to the alternative minimum tax will depend
on the participant’s particular circumstances. The participant’s basis in the shares received will be equal to the exercise price
paid, and the participant’s holding period in such shares will begin on the day following the date of exercise.
If a participant disposes of the shares on or after the later of: 1) the second anniversary of the date of grant of the ISO and 2) the
first anniversary of the date of exercise of the ISO (the statutory holding period), the participant will recognize a capital gain or
loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on such disposition and the participant’s basis in the
shares.
If the participant disposes of the shares before the end of the statutory holding period, the participant will have engaged in a
“disqualifying disposition.” As a result, the participant will be subject to tax: 1) on the excess of the fair market value of the shares
on the date of exercise (or the amount realized on the disqualifying disposition, if less) over the exercise price paid, as ordinary
(cid:3)
income and 2) on the excess, if any, of the amount realized on such disqualifying disposition over the fair market value of the
shares on the date of exercise, as capital gain. If the amount a participant realizes from a disqualifying disposition is less than the
exercise price paid (i.e., the participant’s basis) and the loss sustained upon such disposition would otherwise be recognized, a
participant will not recognize any ordinary income from such disqualifying disposition and instead the participant will recognize a
capital loss. In the event of a disqualifying disposition, subject to applicable provisions of the Code, including Section 162(m), the
Company will be entitled to a deduction in the same amount.
Income tax withholding and employment taxes do not apply upon the exercise of an ISO or upon any subsequent disposition,
including a disqualifying disposition, of shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of the ISO.
Nonqualified Stock Options
The participant will not be subject to tax upon the grant of an Option which is a Nonqualified Stock Option. Upon exercise of a
Nonqualified Stock Option, an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares acquired on the date of exercise
over the exercise price paid is taxable to the participant as ordinary income, and subject to applicable provisions of the Code,
including Section 162(m), the Company will be entitled at that time to a deduction in the same amount. This amount of income
will be subject to income tax withholding and employment taxes. The participant’s basis in the shares received will equal the fair
market value of the shares on the date of exercise, and the participant’s holding period in such shares will begin.
Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units and Other Stock-Based Awards
A participant normally will not recognize taxable income and the Company will not be entitled to a deduction upon the grant of
Restricted Stock Awards, RSUs or Other Stock-Based Awards. When the Restricted Stock Award vests or the RSUs settle or the
Other Stock-Based Awards are paid or settle, the participant will recognize taxable ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair
market value of the shares or other property received at that time, less the amount, if any, paid for the shares, and, subject to
applicable provisions of the Code, including Section 162(m), the Company will be entitled at that time to a deduction in the same
amount. However, a participant may elect to recognize taxable ordinary income in the year a Restricted Stock Award is granted
in an amount equal to the excess of their fair market value at the grant date, determined without regard to certain restrictions,
over the amount, if any, paid for the shares. In that event, subject to applicable provisions of the Code, including Section 162(m),
the Company will be entitled to a deduction in such year in the same amount. Any gain or loss realized by the participant upon
the subsequent disposition of shares received will be taxed as short-term or long-term capital gain or loss, but will not result in
any further deduction for the Company.
Limitation on Income Tax Deduction
Section 162(m) of the Code places a $1,000,000 annual limit on the compensation deductible by the Company that is paid to an
individual who is a covered employee.
Tax Withholding
The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold (or cause to be deducted or withheld) from any amount
deliverable under an award or otherwise (including shares otherwise deliverable), or require a participant to remit to the
Company, the minimum statutory amount to satisfy federal, state and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or
regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of the Plan. With respect to required withholding,
participants may elect (subject to the Company’s automatic withholding right set out above) to satisfy the withholding
requirement, in whole or in part, (i) by having the Company withhold shares or (ii) through an independent broker-dealer
arrangement to sell a sufficient number of shares, in each case, having a fair market value on the date the tax is to be
determined equal to the minimum statutory total tax that could be imposed on the transaction.

has or shares voting or dispositive power, whether or not they are held for the individual’s benefit, and includes shares that
may be acquired within 60 days, including, but not limited to, the right to acquire shares by the exercise of options. Shares that

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
(cid:3)
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
• 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.

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 2019 and 2018, the Audit and Finance Committee pre-approved all services performed by PwC.

The audit fees in 2019 related primarily to the annual audit of our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual
Report 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.
The audit fees in 2018 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 Report 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.
Audit related fees in 2019 primarily consist of fees for the performance of attest services.
Tax fees in 2019 and 2018 were for tax compliance services.
All other fees for 2019 and 2018 consist of non-audit related procurement of an on-line accounting research tool and financial
statement disclosure checklist offered by PwC to its clients.
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 2019 and 2018, the Audit and Finance Committee pre-approved all services performed by PwC.

PROPOSAL 5 - RATIFICATION OF THE AUDIT AND FINANCE COMMITTEE’S SELECTION OF ERNST
& YOUNG 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.
Previously, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) had audited our financial statements for many years. Following the Audit and
Finance Committee’s completion of a competitive process to select our independent registered public accounting firm for the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, the Audit and Finance Committee selected Ernst & Young LLP as our independent
registered public accounting firm which resulted in the dismissal of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm as
of March 24, 2020.
The audit reports of PwC on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31,
2019 and December 31, 2018 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to
audit scope or accounting principle; however, the reports for both years contained a paragraph stating there was substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
During the Company's fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and through March 24, 2020, there were
no: (i) disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC would have caused PwC to make reference
thereto in its reports on the financial statements of the Company for such years, or (ii) reportable events, as described under Item
304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
On March 26, 2020, the Company engaged Ernst & Young LLP as auditors for the Company, effective as of such date. The
engagement of Ernst & Young LLP was approved by the Audit and Finance Committee. During the fiscal years ended December
31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and through March 26, 2020, neither the Company nor anyone on the Company's behalf
consulted Ernst & Young LLP regarding any of the matters referred to in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.
A representative of Ernst & Young LLP 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 Ernst & Young
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 Ernst & Young 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 Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm.

Participants. Each Option shall permit a Participant to purchase from the Company a stated
number of Shares at an Option Price established by the Committee, subject to the terms
and conditions described in this Article 6 and to such additional terms and conditions as
established by the Committee, in its sole discretion, that are consistent with the provisions
of the Plan. Options shall be designated as either Incentive Stock Options or Nonqualified
Stock Options; provided that Options granted to Directors shall only be Nonqualified Stock
Options. An Option granted as an Incentive Stock Option shall, to the extent it fails to qualify
as an Incentive Stock Option, be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option. Neither the
Committee, the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, nor any of their employees
and representatives shall be liable to any Participant or to any other Person if it is
determined that an Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option does not qualify as an
Incentive Stock Option. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement which shall
state the number of Shares covered by such Option. Such agreements shall conform to the
requirements of the Plan and may contain such other provisions, as the Committee shall
deem advisable.
6.2
Terms of Option Grant. The Option Price shall be determined by the
Committee at the time of grant, but, except as otherwise permitted by Article 14 or in the
case of an Acquisition Award, shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a
Share on the date of grant.

term be greater than 10 years.

Agreement, an Option may be exercised for all, or from time to time any part, of the Shares
for which it is then exercisable. For purposes of this Article 6, the exercise date of an Option
shall be the later of the date a notice of exercise is received by the Company and, if
applicable, the date payment is received by the Company pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or
(iv) of the following sentence (including the applicable tax withholding pursuant to Section
16.4 of the Plan). The aggregate Option Price for the Shares as to which an Option is
exercised shall be paid to the Company in full at the time of exercise at the election of the
Participant (i) in cash or its equivalent (e.g., by cashier’s check), (ii) to the extent permitted
by the Committee, in Shares previously owned by the Participant having a fair market value
equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased and satisfying such other
requirements as may be imposed by the Committee, (iii) partly in cash and, to the extent
permitted by the Committee, partly in such Shares (as described in (ii) above) or (iv) in
consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program (whether through
a broker or otherwise) implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan. The

(cid:3)
aggregate fair market value (generally determined as of the time the Option is granted) of
the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time
by a Participant during any calendar year under all plans of the Company and of any “parent
corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” shall not exceed $100,000, or the Option shall be
treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option. For purposes of the preceding sentence, Incentive
Stock Options will be taken into account generally in the order in which they are granted.
Each provision of the Plan and each Award Agreement relating to an Incentive Stock Option
shall be construed so that each Incentive Stock Option shall be an incentive stock option as
defined in Section 422 of the Code, and any provisions of the Award Agreement thereof that
cannot be so construed shall be disregarded.
6.6
Performance Goals. The Committee may condition the grant of Options or
the vesting of Options upon the Participant’s achievement of one or more performance goal(s)
(including the Participant’s provision of Services for a designated time period), as specified
in the Award Agreement. If the Participant fails to achieve the specified performance goal(s),
the Committee shall not grant the Option to such Participant or the Option shall not vest,
as applicable.
6.7
Individual Limitations. No Employee may be granted Options or Stock
Appreciation Rights covering in excess of 2,500,000 Shares in any calendar year (with
tandem Options and Stock Appreciation Rights being counted only once with respect to this
limit), subject to adjustment as provided in Article 14 hereof.
Article 7. Stock Appreciation Rights
7.1 Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee is hereby authorized to
grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Participants, including a grant of Stock Appreciation
Rights in tandem with any Option at the same time such Option is granted (a “Tandem
SAR”). Stock Appreciation Rights shall be evidenced by Award Agreements that shall
conform to the requirements of the Plan and may contain such other provisions, as the
Committee shall deem advisable. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award
Agreement, a Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall confer on the holder
thereof a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (i) the fair market value of a
specified number of Shares on the date of exercise over (ii) the grant price of the right as
specified by the Committee on the date of the grant. Such payment may be in the form of
cash, Shares, other property or any combination thereof, as the Committee shall determine
in its sole discretion.
7.2
Terms of Stock Appreciation Right. Subject to the terms of the Plan and
any applicable Award Agreement, the grant price (which shall not be less than 100% of the
Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, except as otherwise permitted by Article
14 or in the case of an Acquisition Award), term, methods of exercise, methods of settlement,
and any other terms and conditions of any Stock Appreciation Right shall be as determined
by the Committee. The Committee may impose such other conditions or restrictions on the
exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right as it may deem appropriate. No Stock Appreciation
Right shall have a term of more than 10 years from the date of grant.
7.3
Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights and Options. A Tandem SAR shall be
exercisable only to the extent that the related Option is exercisable and shall expire no later
than the expiration of the related Option. Upon the exercise of all or a portion of a Tandem
SAR, a Participant shall be required to forfeit the right to purchase an equivalent portion of
the related Option (and, when a Share is purchased under the related Option, the Participant
shall be required to forfeit an equivalent portion of the Stock Appreciation Right).

Article 6. Stock Options
6.1 Grant of Options. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Options to
Participants. Each Option shall permit a Participant to purchase from the Company a stated
number of Shares at an Option Price established by the Committee, subject to the terms
and conditions described in this Article 6 and to such additional terms and conditions as
established by the Committee, in its sole discretion, that are consistent with the provisions
of the Plan. Options shall be designated as either Incentive Stock Options or Nonqualified
Stock Options; provided that Options granted to Directors shall only be Nonqualified Stock
Options. An Option granted as an Incentive Stock Option shall, to the extent it fails to qualify
as an Incentive Stock Option, be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option. Neither the
Committee, the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, nor any of their employees
and representatives shall be liable to any Participant or to any other Person if it is
determined that an Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option does not qualify as an
Incentive Stock Option. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement which shall
state the number of Shares covered by such Option. Such agreements shall conform to the
requirements of the Plan and may contain such other provisions, as the Committee shall
deem advisable.
6.2
Terms of Option Grant. The Option Price shall be determined by the
Committee at the time of grant, but, except as otherwise permitted by Article 14 or in the
case of an Acquisition Award, shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a
Share on the date of grant.
6.3 Option Term. The term of each Option shall be determined by the Committee
at the time of grant and shall be stated in the Award Agreement, but in no event shall such
term be greater than 10 years.
6.4 Method of Exercise. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in an Award
Agreement, an Option may be exercised for all, or from time to time any part, of the Shares
for which it is then exercisable. For purposes of this Article 6, the exercise date of an Option
shall be the later of the date a notice of exercise is received by the Company and, if
applicable, the date payment is received by the Company pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or
(iv) of the following sentence (including the applicable tax withholding pursuant to Section
16.4 of the Plan). The aggregate Option Price for the Shares as to which an Option is
exercised shall be paid to the Company in full at the time of exercise at the election of the
Participant (i) in cash or its equivalent (e.g., by cashier’s check), (ii) to the extent permitted
by the Committee, in Shares previously owned by the Participant having a fair market value
equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased and satisfying such other
requirements as may be imposed by the Committee, (iii) partly in cash and, to the extent
permitted by the Committee, partly in such Shares (as described in (ii) above) or (iv) in
consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program (whether through
a broker or otherwise) implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan. The
Committee may prescribe any other method of payment that it determines to be consistent
with applicable law and the purpose of the Plan.
6.5
Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may be
granted only to employees of the Company or of a “parent corporation” or “subsidiary
corporation” (as such terms are defined in Section 424 of the Code) at the date of grant. The
aggregate fair market value (generally determined as of the time the Option is granted) of
(cid:3)
the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time
by a Participant during any calendar year under all plans of the Company and of any “parent
corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” shall not exceed $100,000, or the Option shall be
treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option. For purposes of the preceding sentence, Incentive
Stock Options will be taken into account generally in the order in which they are granted.
Each provision of the Plan and each Award Agreement relating to an Incentive Stock Option
shall be construed so that each Incentive Stock Option shall be an incentive stock option as
defined in Section 422 of the Code, and any provisions of the Award Agreement thereof that
cannot be so construed shall be disregarded.
6.6

Rights in tandem with any Option at the same time such Option is granted (a “Tandem
SAR”). Stock Appreciation Rights shall be evidenced by Award Agreements that shall

thereof a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (i) the fair market value of a
specified number of Shares on the date of exercise over (ii) the grant price of the right as

any applicable Award Agreement, the grant price (which shall not be less than 100% of the
Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, except as otherwise permitted by Article
14 or in the case of an Acquisition Award), term, methods of exercise, methods of settlement,
and any other terms and conditions of any Stock Appreciation Right shall be as determined
by the Committee. The Committee may impose such other conditions or restrictions on the
exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right as it may deem appropriate. No Stock Appreciation
Right shall have a term of more than 10 years from the date of grant.
7.3
Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights and Options. A Tandem SAR shall be
exercisable only to the extent that the related Option is exercisable and shall expire no later
than the expiration of the related Option. Upon the exercise of all or a portion of a Tandem
SAR, a Participant shall be required to forfeit the right to purchase an equivalent portion of
the related Option (and, when a Share is purchased under the related Option, the Participant
shall be required to forfeit an equivalent portion of the Stock Appreciation Right).

Agreement, Participants shall have none of the rights of a shareholder of the Company with
respect to the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Award until the end of the Restricted
Period; provided that Participants shall have the right to vote and receive dividends on the
Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Award during the Restriction Period. Dividends shall
be paid to Participants at the same time that other shareholders of common stock of the
Company receive such dividends. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no dividends will be paid
at a time when any performance-based goals that apply to a Restricted Stock Award have
not been satisfied; until such goals are satisfied, all dividends paid upon the Shares

equivalent right have not been satisfied and will revert back to the Company if such goals

conditions, if any, as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, the right
to receive one or more Shares (or the equivalent cash value of such Shares) upon the
completion of a specified period of Service, the occurrence of an event and/or the attainment
of performance objectives. Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted alone or in addition

statement in an Award Agreement to the effect that an Award is intended to be “deferred
compensation” subject to Section 409A, to be exempt from Section 409A or to have other
intended treatment under Section 409A and/or other provision of the Code. To the extent
necessary to give effect to this authority, in the case of any conflict or potential inconsistency
between the Plan and a provision of any Award or Award Agreement with respect to the
subject matter of this paragraph, the Plan shall govern.
13.2 Without limiting the generality of Section 13.1, with respect to any Award
made under the Plan that is intended to be “deferred compensation” subject to
Section 409A: (i) references to termination of the Participant’s employment will mean the
Participant’s separation from service with the Company within the meaning of
Section 409A; (ii) any payment to be made with respect to such Award in connection with
the Participant’s separation from service with the Company within the meaning of
Section 409A that would be subject to the limitations in Section 409A(a)(2)(b) of the Code
shall be delayed until six months after the Participant’s separation from service (or earlier
death) in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A; (iii) to the extent necessary to
comply with Section 409A, any cash, other securities, other Awards or other property that
the Company may deliver in lieu of Shares in respect of an Award shall not have the effect
of deferring delivery or payment beyond the date on which such delivery or payment would
occur with respect to the Shares that would otherwise have been deliverable (unless the
Committee elects a later date for this purpose in accordance with the requirements of
Section 409A); (iv) if the Award includes a “series of installment payments” (within the
meaning of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii) of the regulations promulgated under the Code), the
Participant’s right to the series of installment payments shall be treated as a right to a series
of separate payments and not as a right to a single payment; (v) if the Award includes

promulgated under the Code), the Participant’s right to the dividend equivalents shall be
treated separately from the right to other amounts under the Award; and (vi) unless the
Committee determines otherwise, for purposes of determining whether the Participant has
experienced a separation from service with the Company within the meaning of Section
409A, “subsidiary” shall mean a corporation or other entity in a chain of corporations or
other entities in which each corporation or other entity, starting with the Company, has a
controlling interest in another corporation or other entity in the chain, ending with such

(cid:3)
dividend in kind, amalgamation, or other like change in capital structure (other than regular
cash dividends to shareholders of the Company), or any similar corporate event or
transaction, the Committee, to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants’ rights under
the Plan, shall substitute or adjust (in each case in such manner as it deems equitable or
appropriate) the number and kind of Shares or other property (including cash) that may be
issued under the Plan or under particular forms of Awards, the number and kind of Shares
or other property (including cash) subject to outstanding Awards, the Option Price, grant
price or purchase price applicable to outstanding Awards, any individual Award limits,

the Company (if it is the surviving company or corporation) or by the surviving company or
corporation or its parent; (ii) substitution by the surviving company or corporation or its
parent of awards with substantially the same terms for such outstanding Awards; (iii)
accelerated exercisability, vesting and/or lapse of restrictions under outstanding Awards
immediately prior to the occurrence of such event; (iv) upon written notice, provide that any
outstanding Awards must be exercised, to the extent then exercisable, during a reasonable
period of time immediately prior to the scheduled consummation of the event, or such other
period as determined by the Committee (contingent upon the consummation of the event),
and at the end of such period, such Awards shall terminate to the extent not so exercised
within the relevant period; (v) cancellation of all or any portion of outstanding Awards for
fair value (as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee and which may be zero)
which, in the case of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights or similar Awards, if the
Committee so determines, may equal the excess, if any, of the value of the consideration to
be paid in the Change of Control transaction to holders of the same number of Shares
subject to such Awards (or, if no such consideration is paid, fair market value of the Shares
subject to such outstanding Awards or portion thereof being canceled) over the aggregate
Option Price or grant price, as applicable, with respect to such Awards or portion thereof
being canceled (which may be zero) and (vi) such other adjustment as determined
appropriate by the Committee. The Company shall have no liability to any Participant or
otherwise if the Plan or any Award, vesting, exercise or payment of any Award hereunder is
subject to the additional tax and penalties under Section 409A or any other Code section.
Article 15. Duration, Amendment
15.1 Duration of the Plan. Unless sooner terminated as provided in Section 15.2,

shall materially adversely impair the rights of a Participant under any Award without such
Participant’s consent.

price per Share, as applicable) or repurchase for cash or other consideration.
Article 16. General Provisions
16.1 No Right to Service. The granting of an Award under the Plan shall impose
no obligation on the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate to continue the Service of a
Participant and shall not lessen or affect any right that the Company, any Subsidiary or any
Affiliate may have to terminate the Service of such Participant. No Participant or other
Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award, and there is no obligation for
uniformity of treatment of Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and
conditions of Awards and the Committee’s determinations and interpretations with respect
thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant (whether or not such
Participants are similarly situated).
16.2 Foreign Jurisdictions. To the extent the Committee deems it necessary,
appropriate or desirable to comply with foreign law or practices and to further the purposes
of the Plan, the Committee may, without amending the Plan, establish special rules
applicable to Awards to Participants who are foreign nationals, are employed outside of the
United States or both and grant Awards (or amend existing Awards) in accordance with
those rules.
16.3 Settlement of Awards; Fractional Shares. Each Award Agreement shall
establish the form in which the Award shall be settled. The Committee shall determine
whether cash, Awards, other securities or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of
fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be rounded,
forfeited or otherwise eliminated.
16.4 Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct
or withhold (or cause to be deducted or withheld) from any amount deliverable under the
Award or otherwise (including Shares otherwise deliverable), or require a Participant to remit
to the Company, the minimum statutory amount to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes,
domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable
event arising as a result of the Plan. With respect to required withholding, Participants may
elect (subject to the Company’s automatic withholding right set out above) to satisfy the
withholding requirement, in whole or in part, (i) by having the Company withhold Shares or
(ii) through an independent broker-dealer arrangement to sell a sufficient number of Shares,
in each case, having a fair market value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the
minimum statutory total tax that could be imposed on the transaction.
16.5 No Guarantees Regarding Tax Treatment. Participants
their
beneficiaries) shall be responsible for all taxes with respect to any Awards under the Plan.
The Committee and the Company make no guarantees to any Person regarding the tax
(or
(cid:3)
treatment of Awards or payments made under the Plan. Neither the Committee nor the
Company has any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any tax on any
Person with respect to any Award under Section 409A or otherwise and none of the
Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any of their employees or representatives
shall have any liability to a Participant with respect thereto.
16.6 Non-Transferability of Awards. Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee, an Award shall not be transferable or assignable by the Participant except in
the event of his death (subject to the applicable laws of descent and distribution) and any
such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance
shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate. No transfer shall be
permitted for value or consideration. An Award exercisable after the death of a Participant
may be exercised by the heirs, legatees, personal representatives or distributees of the
Participant. Any permitted transfer of the Awards to heirs, legatees, personal representatives
or distributees of the Participant shall not be effective to bind the Company unless the
Committee shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of such evidence
as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the
acceptance by the transferee or transferees of the terms and conditions of the applicable
Award Agreement and this Plan.
16.7 Conditions and Restrictions on Shares. The Committee may impose such
other conditions or restrictions on any Shares received in connection with an Award as it
may deem advisable or desirable. These restrictions may include, but shall not be limited
to, a requirement that the Participant hold the Shares received for a specified period of time
or a requirement that a Participant represent and warrant in writing that the Participant is
acquiring the Shares for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute
such Shares. The certificates for Shares may include any legend which the Committee deems
appropriate to reflect any conditions and restrictions applicable to such Shares.
16.8 Clawback/Recoupment. Awards under the Plan shall be subject to the
clawback or recoupment policy, if any, that the Company may adopt from time to time,
whether before or after the grant of such Awards, to the extent provided in such policy and,
in accordance with such policy, may be subject to the requirement that the Awards be repaid
to the Company after they have been distributed or paid to the Participant.
16.9 Other Payments or Awards. Nothing contained in the Plan will be deemed in
any way to limit or restrict the Company from making any award or payment to any person
under any other plan, arrangement or understanding, whether now existing or hereafter in
effect. In addition, Section 5.1 (as adjusted by Article 14) sets forth the only limit on the
aggregate amount of securities that may be delivered pursuant to this Plan.
16.10 Compliance with Law. The granting of Awards and the issuance of Shares
under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such
approvals by any governmental agencies, or any stock exchanges on which the Shares are
admitted to trading or listed, as may be required. The Company shall have no obligation to
issue or deliver evidence of title for Shares issued under the Plan prior to:
(a)
Obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the
Company determines are necessary or advisable; and
(b)
Completion of any registration or other qualification of the Shares
under any applicable national, state or foreign law or ruling of any
governmental body that the Company determines to be necessary or

necessary to comply with any applicable laws; provided that shareholder approval will be

Committee: (i) increases the number of Shares available under the Plan (other than an
increase permitted under Article 5 absent shareholder approval); (ii) expands the types of
Awards available under the Plan; (iii) materially extends the term of the Plan; (iv) materially
changes the method of determining the Option Price or grant price per Share for Stock
Appreciation Rights; or (v) except as permitted pursuant to Article 14, reduces the Option
Price or grant price per Share, as applicable, of any outstanding Options or Stock
Appreciation Rights, including through amendment, cancellation in exchange for the grant

The restrictions contained in this Section 16.10 shall be in addition to any conditions or
(cid:3)
restrictions that the Committee may impose pursuant to Section 16.7. The inability of the
Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority
is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any

employees and representatives of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such
Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.
16.11 Rights as a Shareholder. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the
applicable Award Agreement, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a shareholder
with respect to Shares covered by any Award until the Participant becomes the record holder
of such Shares.
16.12 Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is
deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any Person or
Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the
Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable
laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of
the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall
be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person, or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any
such Award shall remain in full force and effect.
16.13 Unfunded Plan. Participants shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever
in or to any investments that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may make
to aid it in meeting its obligations under the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no
action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any
kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, beneficiary,
legal representative, or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to
receive payments from the Company under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the
right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. All payments to be made hereunder
shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall
be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such
amounts.
16.14 No Constraint on Corporate Action. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed

Company, a Subsidiary or Affiliate (each such person an “Indemnified Person”) shall have
any liability to any person (including, without limitation, any Participant) for any action
taken or omitted to be taken or any determination made in good faith with respect to the
Plan or any Award. Each Indemnified Person shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Company against and from any loss, cost, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) that
may be imposed upon or incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with or
resulting from any action, suit or proceeding to which such Indemnified Person may be a
party or in which such Indemnified Person may be involved by reason of any action taken
or omitted to be taken under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by
such Indemnified Person, with the Company’s prior approval, in settlement thereof, or paid
by such Indemnified Person in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit or
proceeding against such Indemnified Person, provided that the Company shall have the
(cid:3)
(cid:4)(cid:486)(cid:883)(cid:888)(cid:3)
(cid:3)
right, at its own expense, to assume and defend any such action, suit or proceeding and,
once the Company gives notice of its intent to assume the defense, the Company shall have
sole control over such defense with counsel chosen by the Company. The foregoing right of
indemnification shall not be available to an Indemnified Person to the extent that a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final judgment or other final adjudication, in either case, not
subject to further appeal, determines that the acts or omissions of such Indemnified Person
giving rise to the indemnification claim resulted from such Indemnified Person’s bad faith,
fraud or willful criminal act or omission. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be
exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which Indemnified Persons may be entitled
under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise,
or any other power that the Company may have to indemnify such persons or hold them
16.16 Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to
Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the
existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger,
consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the
harmless.

collection, processing, transmission and storage by the Company in any form whatsoever,
of any data of a professional or personal nature which is necessary for the purposes of
introducing and administering the Plan. The Company may share such information with
any Subsidiary or Affiliate, the trustee of any employee benefit trust, its registrars, trustees,
brokers, other third-party administrator or any Person who obtains control of the Company
or acquires the Company, undertaking or part-undertaking which employs the Participant,
wherever situated.

Plan or any Award. Each Indemnified Person shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Company against and from any loss, cost, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) that
