ITEM 1.
BUSINESS
PART I
When used in this report, unless otherwise indicated, “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company” and “Kodak” refer to the consolidated company on the basis of
consolidation described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Form 10-K
Report.
Kodak is a global manufacturer focused on commercial 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. With 31,000 patents earned over
130 years of R&D, we believe in the power of technology and science to enhance what the world sees and creates. Our innovative, award-winning products,
combined with our customer-first approach, allow us to attract customers worldwide. Kodak is committed to environmental stewardship, including industry
leadership in developing sustainable solutions for print.
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.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Kodak’s operations are classified into four reportable segments: Traditional Printing, Digital Printing, Advanced Materials and Chemicals and Brand. The
balance of Kodak’s continuing operations, which do not meet the criteria of a reportable segment, are reported in All Other and primarily represent the Eastman
Business Park operations.
Traditional Printing
The Traditional Printing segment is comprised of Prepress Solutions, which includes Kodak’s digital offset plate offerings and computer-to-plate (“CTP”)
imaging solutions. The Traditional Printing 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.
This segment is experiencing challenges from higher raw material and other supply chain costs, digital substitution and competitive pricing pressures. Kodak
seeks to mitigate the impact of increases in manufacturing costs, including aluminum prices, through a combination of surcharges and price increases, improved
production efficiency and cost reduction initiatives. In addition Kodak seeks to offset the impact of long-term market dynamics on pricing and volume pressures
through innovations in Kodak product lines.
The goal of Prepress Solutions is to pursue a contract-based, stable and recurring cash flow-generative business model. The average duration of customer
contracts is two years. These contracts 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 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.
The Traditional Printing products and services are sold globally to customers through both a direct sales team as well as indirectly through dealers and channel
partners.
Kodak’s primary competitors are Fuji and Agfa. Kodak expects to benefit from current industry trends, including customers’ increasing focus on sustainability
initiatives, which may strengthen demand for Kodak’s process-free solutions.
Digital offset plate offerings include KODAK SONORA Process Free Plates. Instead of the traditional process in which a plate is run through processing
equipment containing a solution of developer, chemicals and water to set the image, KODAK SONORA Process Free Plates enable printers to set the image on
the platesetter, then go directly to press. There’s also no processing variability, so process-free plate users benefit from more consistent and stable plates.
It’s designed to be a much more environmentally friendly approach that could eliminate all processing chemicals, water and excess energy and waste from the
plate-making process. These plates are designed to deliver cost savings and efficiency for customers and promote environmental sustainability practices.
3
Net sales for Traditional Printing accounted for 57%, 58% and 59% of Kodak’s total net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019,
respectively.
The Traditional Printing segment also provides service and support related to these products.
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 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. 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 in China to secure minimum payments required under the
supply agreement. The escrow balance as of December 31, 2021 approximated $4 million.
Digital Printing
The Digital Printing segment contains Electrophotographic Printing Solutions, Prosper, Versamark and Software. Digital Printing products include high-quality
digital printing solutions using electrically charged toner-based technology, production press systems, consumables (primarily ink), inkjet components, software
and services. Digital Printing products are distributed directly by Kodak and indirectly through dealers. The markets that the Digital Printing segment serves are
highly competitive in variable printing applications like direct mail, newspapers, books, and packaging/labels. Key competitors are HP, Canon, Ricoh and
Screen. Products and services included in Kodak’s offerings are described below.
•
Electrophotographic Printing Solutions:
•
•
NEXFINITY printers produce high-quality, differentiated printing of short-run, personalized print applications, such as direct mail, books, marketing
collateral and photo products.
The ASCEND printer is a new electrophotographic press aimed at the retail, point of purchase and packaging markets. ASCEND printers enable
customers to print and embellish on heavyweight stocks and are designed for customers looking to create sort-run packaging, displays and
signage. The ASCEND printers are anticipated to be available mid-2022.
•
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 on a variety of substrates. 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 innovative solutions for customers which includes Kodak’s next generation inkjet platform,
Ultrastream, with solutions that place writing systems in OEM products and systems 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.
•
Versamark:
•
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.
4
•
Software:
•
•
The Software business offers a leading suite of solutions for print production workflow, including the PRINERGY workflow production software, by
providing customer value through automation, web integration and integration with other Kodak products and third-party offerings. Production
workflow software is used by customers to manage digital and conventional print content from file creation to output. Production workflow software
manages content and color, reduces manual errors and helps customers manage the collaborative creative process. Kodak believes it is a leader in
production workflow solutions for the commercial print and packaging industries with over 15,000 systems installed in some of the largest printing
and packaging establishments around the world. Kodak plans to expand the PRINERGY offering with its cloud-based PRINERGY On Demand
Platform in early 2022.
The Software business includes digital front-end controllers which manage the delivery of personalized content to digital presses while controlling
color and print consistency.
Net sales for Digital Printing accounted for 22%, 23% and 24% of Kodak’s total net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019,
respectively.
Advanced Materials and Chemicals
The Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment is comprised of three lines of business: Industrial Film and Chemicals, Motion Picture and Advanced Materials
and Functional Printing. Kodak Services for Business (“KSB”), which provided business process outsourcing services, was sold to Swiss Post Solutions in
December 2020 and Kodakit, which was a platform that connected businesses with professional photographers, was discontinued in October 2019. Kodak’s
Advanced Materials and Chemicals products are distributed directly by Kodak and indirectly through dealers. Kodak Alaris, a professional and consumer still
photographic film and chemicals customer, represented approximately 32%, 30% and 20% of total Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment revenues in
2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Products and services included in Kodak’s offerings are described below.
The Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment includes the Kodak Research Laboratories which conduct research, develop new product or new business
opportunities and file patent applications for its inventions and innovations.
The Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment also manages licensing of its intellectual property to third parties and is a supporting participant for any
licensing of Kodak intellectual property to a third party. Kodak maintains a large worldwide portfolio of pending applications and issued patents.
•
Industrial Film and Chemicals:
•
•
•
•
•
Offers professional and consumer still photographic film, as well as industrial film, including films used by the electronics industry to produce printed
circuit boards.
Includes related component businesses: Specialty Chemicals; Solvent Recovery; and Polyester Film. Specialty Chemicals include unregulated key
starting materials (“KSMs”) for pharmaceuticals. Kodak intends to continue organic expansion of its KSM production and is exploring opportunities
to further expand its pharmaceutical offerings.
Offers specialty inks and dispersions to third parties.
Offers coating and product commercialization services: offerings include both pilot-scale and production scale roll-to-roll coating capabilities utilizing
Kodak’s assets and know-how to commercialize and manufacture third party products.
Includes Consumer Inkjet Solutions. Starting in 2013, Kodak stopped manufacturing consumer inkjet printers and focused on the sale of ink to its
installed printer base. Kodak’s final build of ink inventory was depleted in the second quarter of 2020.
5
•
Motion Picture:
•
•
Includes the motion picture film business serving the entertainment industry. Motion picture products are sold directly to studios, external laboratories
and independent filmmakers.
Kodak motion picture film processing laboratories offer onsite processing services at strategic locations in the U.S. and Europe.
•
Advanced Materials and Functional Printing:
•
•
Advanced Materials develops 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 (Kodalux) for the textile market. In addition, a specialty material is manufactured by this group for use by a 3D printing customer.
Functional Printing concentrates on contract manufacturing, development partnerships, and/or licensing opportunities in very high-resolution 3D
printing solutions such as printed electronics. Development partnerships may include non-recurring engineering payments for Kodak’s efforts to
further develop such technologies into products. Also, a portfolio of products is offered to enable others to utilize functional printing.
•
IP Licensing and Analytical Services:
•
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. Kodak also provides a wide range of analytical
services to external clients at competitive rates.
Refer to the Business Overview and Strategy section of Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” for additional information on the opportunities related
to Advanced Materials and Chemicals growth initiatives.
Net sales for Industrial Film and Chemicals accounted for 14%, 13% and 11% of Kodak’s total net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and
2019, respectively.
Brand
The Brand segment includes licensing of the Kodak brand to third parties. Kodak currently licenses its brand for use with a range of products including digital,
instant print and 35mm film cameras, printing and scanning consumer use devices, batteries, apparel and eyewear. Kodak intends to continue efforts to grow its
portfolio of brand licenses to generate both ongoing royalty streams and upfront payments. Brand licensees use the Kodak brand on their products and use their
own distribution channels.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Discontinued operations of Kodak included the Flexographic Packaging business. Refer to Note 28, “Discontinued Operations” in the Notes to Financial
Statements for additional information.
RAW MATERIALS
The raw materials used by Kodak are many and varied and are generally readily available. Lithographic aluminum is the primary material used in the
manufacture of offset printing plates.
Kodak procures lithographic aluminum coils from several suppliers with pricing based on prevailing market prices for aluminum. Lithographic aluminum is
experiencing significantly increased prices and demand. Electronic components are used in the manufacturing of commercial printers and other electronic
devices. The film and chemicals business uses many raw materials, including silver, from a broad range of suppliers. While most raw materials are generally
available from multiple sources, certain key electronic components, other components and specialty chemicals 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. Refer to the Executive Overview section of Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” for a discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
and other global events for additional information.
6
SEASONALITY OF BUSINESS
Printing 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; custom and specialty materials for 3D printing, functional printing materials, material
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.
In addition to patents, Kodak’s intellectual property includes know-how in many of the areas noted above, but in other businesses as well, such as manufacturing
of KSMs for the pharmaceutical industry.
Kodak's major products are not dependent upon one single, material patent. Rather, the technologies that underlie Kodak's products are supported by an
aggregation of patents having various remaining lives and expiration dates. There is no individual patent, or group of patents, whose expiration is expected to
have a material impact on Kodak's results of operations.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Kodak is subject to a wide variety of increasingly stringent federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including laws addressing the
discharge of pollutants into the air and water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, and the cleanup of contaminated sites. 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.
A liability for environmental remediation and other environmental costs is accrued when it is considered probable that a liability has been incurred and the
amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Environmental costs and accruals are presently not material to Kodak’s operations, cash flows or financial
position. Although there is no assurance that existing or future environmental laws applicable to operations or products will not have a material adverse effect on
operations, cash flows or financial condition, Kodak does not currently anticipate material expenditures to comply with environmental laws and regulations.
Kodak is focused on developing and delivering products and technologies that can drive sustainability performance by increasing operational efficiency,
minimizing resource use, reducing costs over time and empowering customers to meet their own sustainability objectives.
The opportunity to reduce the environmental impact of its products and services is especially great for print products, as commercial printing has historically
been a significant source of waste and pollution. Kodak is partnering with the Rochester Institute of Technology’s Pollution Prevention Institute to develop in-
house life cycle assessment and carbon foot printing capabilities, which will help identify where the environmental footprint of Kodak’s products can be further
reduced.
HUMAN CAPITAL
As of January 1, 2022, Kodak employed approximately 4,200 employees across 35 countries. Kodak’s success greatly depends on identifying, attracting,
engaging, developing, and retaining a highly skilled workforce in multiple areas within Kodak.
Kodak utilizes temporary staffing programs to develop a pipeline of talent and provide additional support during peak periods. This includes working closely
with local schools to provide apprentice and intern programs. Approximately 2% of its workforce is temporary.
7
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Kodak is focused on creating an inclusive and creative environment globally. Kodak strives to create a culture of inclusion, reduce bias in its talent practices, and
invest in and engage with its communities. Kodak conducts diversity and code of conduct trainings with employees and managers to promote an inclusive and
diverse workplace, where all individuals feel respected and part of a team regardless of their race, national origin, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, disability,
sexual orientation or gender identity.
Kodak has achieved a score of 100% on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index for over two decades and is included on its list of
“Best Places to Work for LGBTO+ Equality”.
Health, Wellness and Safety
Kodak is dedicated to driving continuous safety improvement across its operations. Kodak’s approach includes identifying and mitigating risk, targeted training,
information sharing on safe work practices, and thorough analysis of incidents and near misses.
The COVID-19 pandemic magnified the importance of keeping employees safe and healthy. In response to the pandemic, Kodak has taken actions consistent
with government mandates and continues to track active cases. The Executive Leadership Team reviews the actions and status of cases on a regular
basis. Kodak will continue to emphasize the health and safety of its employees going forward.
AVAILABLE INFORMATION
Kodak files many reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (www.sec.gov), including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. These reports, and amendments to these reports, are made available free of charge as soon as reasonably
practicable after being electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC. They are available through Kodak's website at www.Kodak.com. To reach the SEC

ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
Kodak operates in rapidly changing economic and technological environments which present numerous risks and uncertainties. The risk factors described below,
if realized, could have a material adverse effect on Kodak’s business, financial condition, and results of operations and make an investment in our securities
risky. You should consider carefully these risks and uncertainties 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.
Risks Related to Kodak’s Business and Operations
Kodak’s business, financial condition and results of operations have been and may continue to be adversely affected by global public health pandemics,
including the COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had, or another global health crisis could have material adverse impacts on Kodak’s employees, suppliers, customers, and others’
ability to conduct business. The negative effects associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have, and may continue to have, material adverse effects on our
business, financial condition and results of operations. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected large segments of the global economy, including the markets in
which we operate.
The pandemic and actions undertaken in response to the pandemic by Kodak, governmental bodies or other groups may have a material adverse effect on our
business or our suppliers, distribution channels, and customers, including business shutdowns or disruptions for an indefinite period of time, reduced operations,
restrictions or interruptions in shipping, manufacturing or installing products, reduced consumer demand or customers’ ability to make payments.
We have and may continue to experience additional operating costs due to increased cost of raw materials and labor, the availability of raw materials and
component products, delays in shipping and transportation and slow recovery of customer demand. Kodak’s products contain aluminum, silver, petroleum-based
or other commodity-based raw materials, the prices of which have significantly increased, and will likely continue to increase. Ongoing disruptions in our supply
chain could affect our ability to meet customer demand for our products and services. Adverse operational and economic circumstances associated with the
COVID-19 pandemic could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic affects our
results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the
severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken in response to the pandemic. For additional discussion regarding known impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, see
Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations“ in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
8
The ability to generate positive operating cash flows will be necessary for Kodak to continue to operate our business.
Continued investment, capital needs, restructuring payments, dividends and servicing Kodak’s debt require a significant amount of cash and we may not be able
to generate sufficient cash to fund these activities, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Kodak has not
generated positive operating cash flows without supplementing such cash flow from operations with financing and monetization transactions over the past
several years. 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 our liquidity and financial
position. If Kodak is unable to generate positive cash flow from operations for an extended period in the future or to adequately supplement such cash flow from
operations, our ability to continue as a going concern could be impaired or limited.
Kodak’s ability to generate cash is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legal, regulatory and other factors beyond our control. There are no
assurances:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Kodak’s businesses will generate sufficient cash flow from operations;
Kodak will be able to repatriate or move cash to locations where and when it is needed;
the Company will meet all the conditions associated with borrowings or issuing letters of credit under the ABL
Credit Agreement;
Kodak will realize cost savings, earnings growth and operating improvements resulting from the execution of
our 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 our liquidity needs.
Kodak’s business may not generate cash flow in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay the principal or mandatory redemption price of, or interest and
dividends on, the senior secured first lien term loans (the “Term Loans”) borrowed under the Credit Agreement, dated February 26, 2021, by and among the
Company, the lenders party thereto (the “Term Loan Lenders”), and Alter Domus (US) LLC, as Administrative Agent (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”), the
5.0% unsecured convertible notes held by the Term Loan Lenders (the “2021 Convertible Notes”), the 4.0% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the
Company (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), and the 5.0% Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series C 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.
If Kodak cannot fund our liquidity needs, we 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 our ability to provide products and services, reduce our 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 continue successful development, funding, and commercialization of products in businesses upon which we are focused or do so within
an acceptable timeframe, Kodak’s financial performance could be adversely affected.
Kodak has focused our 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 (including
pharmaceutical products), coated materials used in electric vehicle/energy storage batteries 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 our financial objectives. Additionally, Kodak’s strategy is
based on a number of factors and assumptions, some of which are not within our control, such as the actions of third parties. There can be no assurance that we
will be able to successfully execute all or any elements of our strategy, or that Kodak’s ability to successfully execute our strategy will be unaffected by external
factors. If Kodak is unsuccessful in growing our investment businesses as planned, or perceiving the needs of our target customers, Kodak’s results of operations,
financial condition and liquidity could be adversely affected.
9
If Kodak is unable to successfully or timely implement cost structure reductions, Kodak’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be
negatively affected.
Kodak continues to rationalize our workforce and streamline operations to a leaner and more focused organization aligned with our business initiatives. There are
no assurances that workforce reductions, restructuring efforts and other cost-saving measures will be successful or the cost savings or other beneficial results will
be consistent with expectations. The extent of change across our organizational structure, senior leadership, culture, functional alignment, outsourcing and other
areas poses risks in the form of personnel capacity constraints and institutional knowledge loss that could lead to diminished results, compliance issues, and harm
to our reputation. If workforce reductions, restructuring efforts and other cost-saving measures are not effectively managed, Kodak may also experience lost
sales, harm to our business and customer relationships, adverse effects on employee morale, loss of key employees or other retention issues, product delays and
increased costs.
Finally, the timing and implementation of workforce reductions may require compliance with laws and regulations, including local labor laws, and the failure to
comply with such requirements may result in damages, fines and penalties. Any of these outcomes could negatively impact Kodak’s business, financial
condition, and results of operations.
The loss of one or more of Kodak’s key personnel, or our failure to attract and retain other highly qualified personnel in the future, could harm our
business.
In order to be successful, Kodak must continue to attract, retain and motivate executives and other key employees across the Company. Hiring and retaining
qualified executives, research and engineering professionals, and qualified sales representatives, particularly in Kodak’s targeted growth markets, is critical to our
future. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in increased attrition and significant shifts in the labor market and employee expectations. Given
that our business is highly technical and specialized, it would be difficult to replace the loss of any of our key employees. Kodak may be unable to attract and
retain highly qualified management and employees, particularly if we do 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 Kodak’s business and results of operations.
If Kodak cannot effectively anticipate or rapidly respond to technology trends and develop and market new products to respond to changing customer needs
and preferences, our revenue, earnings and cash flow could be adversely affected.
Kodak generally sells our products in industries which are characterized by rapid technological changes, frequent new product and service introductions and
changing industry standards. Kodak’s success depends on our ability to offer differentiated solutions and technologies to capture market share and grow scale. To
do so, Kodak 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 we provide to customers may not or may no longer meet the needs of our customers as the business
models of our customers evolve. Kodak’s 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 our customers will demand. The success of Kodak’s business depends in part
on our ability to identify and respond promptly to changes in customer preferences, expectations and needs. If Kodak does not timely assess and respond to
changing customer expectations, preferences and needs, our 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 our current technology to address changing customer preferences, and
effectively communicate our businesses, products, and the markets we serve, our 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 our 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 our competitors, which could adversely affect our product roadmaps and associated revenue
streams.
Kodak has reduced the scope of our corporate-focused research and development activities. If our investment in research and product development is
inadequate, our response to changing customer needs and changing market dynamics may be too slow and this may adversely affect revenue streams from new
products and services.
10
Kodak’s investment 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 our 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.
If Kodak does not manage product reliability, yield and quality, our product launch plans may be delayed, our financial results may be adversely impacted,
and our reputation may be harmed.
In developing, commercializing and manufacturing our products and services, Kodak must adequately address reliability and prevent yield and other quality
issues, including defects in our engineering, design and manufacturing processes, as well as defects in third-party components included in our 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
Kodak has established internal procedures to minimize risks which may arise from product quality issues, there can be no assurance we will be able to eliminate
or mitigate occurrences of these issues and associated liabilities. Product reliability, yield and quality issues can impair our relationships with new or existing
customers and adversely affect our brand image; product quality issues can result in recalls, warranty, or other service obligations and litigation; and our
reputation as a producer of high quality products could suffer, all of which could adversely affect our business as well as our financial results.
Aging manufacturing facilities and equipment could lead to failures of equipment and systems.
Kodak’s manufacturing facilities are aged, and without significant updates to equipment and systems, will be more prone to failure. Capital improvements to
manufacturing facilities 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. If Kodak’s equipment and systems experience a critical failure,
we could experience an interruption of operations, manufacturing delays, increased costs associated with repairs or redesigns of systems and products, loss of
sales and customers and damage to Kodak’s reputation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
If Kodak fails to manage distribution of our products and services properly, our revenue, gross margins and earnings could be adversely impacted.
Kodak uses a variety of distribution methods to sell and deliver our products and services, including direct sales, third-party resellers, channel partners and
distributors. Successfully managing the interaction of direct and indirect channels across customer segments for our products and services is complex. Since each
distribution method has distinct risks and financial implications, Kodak’s failure to achieve the most advantageous delivery model for our products and services
could adversely affect our revenue and earnings.
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 our workforce, our customers, or other third parties could disrupt our business, harm our reputation, cause us to lose customers, and
expose us to costly regulatory enforcement and litigation, any of which could lead to material adverse effects on Kodak’s results of operations, business and
financial condition.
To effectively manage our global business, Kodak 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 our business.
11
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. 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. Therefore, the system controls and security measures Kodak and other
third parties use to prevent, detect and respond to data or cyber security incidents may not be sufficient to anticipate and identify these techniques or implement
adequate or timely preventive or responsive measures.
Kodak’s IT systems contain critical information about our business, including intellectual property and confidential information of our customers, business
partners, and employees. Cyber-attacks, breaches or defects in our systems could result in unauthorized access to and misuse of our information, corruption of
data, or disruption of operations, any of which could have a material adverse impact on Kodak’s business and reputation.
Kodak also provides IT-based products and services to our customers, and operates services used by our customers and hosted by Kodak. A breach of our
security or reliability measures, or those of our third-party service providers, could negatively impact our customers’ operations or data privacy, which could
expose Kodak to liability and reputational harm.
Kodak’s inability to effectively complete and manage strategic transactions could adversely impact our business performance, including our financial results.
From time to time, Kodak may be engaged in discussions with third parties regarding possible investments, acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint ventures,
divestitures, asset sales, spin-offs and outsourcing transactions and may enter into agreements relating to such transactions in order to further our business
objectives.
In order to successfully pursue strategic transactions, Kodak must identify suitable sellers, buyers 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.
Strategic transactions may involve the following risks and challenges that could negatively impact our results of operations:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
the need to obtain required regulatory and other approvals;
the need to integrate acquired or combined operations with our business;
potential loss of key employees;
difficulty in evaluating operating costs, infrastructure requirements, environmental and other liabilities and other
factors beyond our 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 our expenses and working capital requirements;
competition for strategic transactions, which may increase transaction costs and the ability to identify
opportunities;
management’s attention may be temporarily diverted; and
the possibility we may be required to issue a substantial amount of additional equity or debt securities or assume
additional debt in connection with any such transactions.
There are no assurances Kodak will be able to consummate any strategic transactions which we undertake or, if consummated, Kodak will achieve the anticipated
levels of cash flows or realize synergies or other anticipated benefits from a strategic transaction. If Kodak fails to identify and successfully complete
transactions that further our strategic objectives, we may be required to expend resources to develop products and technology internally, we may be at a
competitive disadvantage or we may be adversely affected by negative market perceptions. Any of these factors could have an adverse effect on Kodak’s
revenue, gross margins and profitability.
Failure to successfully manage the development and improvement of IT systems could diminish or delay any anticipated efficiencies and operational
improvements, and our operations and business could be disrupted.
Kodak is focused on improvements to IT systems to more effectively manage our global business and implement our strategic plans. If Kodak is unable to
successfully manage the development, improvement and transition of IT systems, anticipated efficiencies and operational improvements may be delayed or
diminished, and we may experience cost overruns, disruption in our operations, or other business or reputational harm, any of which could have a material
adverse effect on Kodak’s results of operations, business and financial condition.
12
If Kodak cannot protect the intellectual property rights on which our business depends, or if third parties assert we violate their intellectual property rights,
our revenue, earnings, expenses and liquidity may be adversely impacted.
A key differentiator for Kodak in many of our businesses is our technological advantage over competitors’ products and solutions. Our 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 us 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 our proprietary technology adequately against unauthorized third party copying, infringement
or use, which could adversely affect our competitive position. Also, some of Kodak’s business and some of our 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, we 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 our trademarks.
In an effort to preserve our trademark rights, Kodak enters into license agreements with these third parties which govern the use of our trademarks and requires
our 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 our trademarks by our 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, our trademark rights could be diluted and our reputation harmed by our licensees’ activities. Also, failure
by Kodak and our 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 our trademark rights.
Kodak has made substantial investments in new, proprietary technologies and has filed patent applications and obtained patents to protect our intellectual
property rights in these technologies as well as the interests of our 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 us 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 we fail to timely file a patent application in
any such country, we 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 our 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 our customers, licensees or other parties indemnified by us 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 we believe the claims are without merit, these claims may have the following negative impacts on our 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 us to redesign affected products, enter into costly settlement or
license agreements or pay costly damage awards, or face a temporary or permanent injunction prohibiting us from
marketing or selling certain of our products;
even if we have an agreement with a third party to indemnify us against such costs, the indemnifying party may be unable
to uphold such party’s contractual obligations; and
if we cannot or do not license the infringed technology at all, license the technology on reasonable terms or substitute
similar technology from another source, Kodak’s revenue and earnings could be adversely impacted.
13
Finally, Kodak uses open source software in connection with some of our 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 we believe 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 our business results of operations and financial condition.
Impacts of the war in Ukraine are likely to have an adverse impact on the global economy, our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The war in Ukraine, actions taken by Russia, Ukraine and the international community responses, have caused, and will likely continue to cause, decreased
availability of components and raw materials, increases in shipping, energy and raw material costs and increased transit times. While we do not believe that we or
our suppliers obtain components or materials directly from Russian sources, Russia is a significant source of aluminum and electronic components to various
suppliers that may impact our ability to secure these materials from our direct suppliers. Energy costs are a significant component of the cost of producing
aluminum, and our aluminum suppliers are based in Europe and may be affected by fluctuations in energy costs resulting from the war in Ukraine. Any
escalation of the war in Ukraine, continued transit delays, decreased availability of components and raw materials, increases in shipping, energy and raw material
costs associated with the war in Ukraine and compliance with associated economic sanctions could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of
operations.
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 COVID-19 pandemic and other global events. Economic conditions could accelerate any decline in demand for
products, which could also place pressure on our results of operations and liquidity.
In addition, accounts receivable and past due accounts could increase due to a decline in our customers’ ability to pay as a result of an economic downturn,
including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and other global events, and our liquidity, including our 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 our ability
to meet our anticipated cash needs, impair our liquidity or increase our costs of borrowing.
Following an implementation period after the UK left the EU on 31 January 2020, and as of 1 January 2021 the UK is no longer a member of the EU single
market and customs union. The uncertainty concerning Brexit has also caused global stock market volatility and currency exchange rate fluctuations. 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 us to adjust our strategy in order to compete effectively in global markets and could adversely affect our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.
If the reputation of Kodak or its brand erodes significantly, it could have a material impact on our financial results.
Kodak’s products and brand have worldwide recognition. Kodak’s reputation, and the reputation of our brand, form the foundation of our relationships with key
stakeholders and other constituencies, including customers, suppliers, distributors, channel partners, consumers and investors. Any harm to the reputation of
Kodak or our brand could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, business and financial condition. The value of Kodak’s brand is reflected,
in part, in our Brand segment, which licenses the Kodak brand for use by third parties in wide range of products. Consumers and the public may view the
products and activities of brand licensees as the products and activities of Kodak. The measures Kodak undertakes to research and manage licensee relationships
and assess the quality of their products may not be sufficient to protect against legal proceedings and reputational harm in the event that licensed products and
services do not meet consumer expectations for quality and safety. Other factors that could dilute or damage the reputation of Kodak and our brand include the
failure of products and services to meet customer expectations, litigation and government investigations, negative or inaccurate comments in the media, including
social media, and failure to meet and manage customer and industry expectations regarding the impact of our business on matters of social responsibility and
environmental sustainability.
14
Increased competition, including price competition, could have a material adverse impact on Kodak’s revenue, gross margins, cash flow and market share.
The markets in which Kodak does business are highly competitive with large, entrenched, and well financed industry participants, many of which are larger than
Kodak. In addition, we encounter aggressive price competition for many of our products and services from numerous companies globally. Any of our
competitors may:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
foresee the course of market developments more accurately than Kodak 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 our suppliers or customers;
adapt more quickly to new technologies or evolving customer requirements than we do; or
have access to capital markets or other financing sources on more favorable terms than we can obtain.
As a result, Kodak may not be able to compete successfully with our competitors. Finally, we may not be able to maintain our operating costs or prices at levels
which would allow us to compete effectively. Kodak’s results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by these and other industry-wide
pricing pressures. If our products, services and pricing are not sufficiently competitive with current and future competitors, we could also lose market share,
adversely affecting our revenue, gross margins and cash flow.
Business disruptions could seriously harm Kodak’s future revenue and financial condition.
Worldwide operations could be subject to earthquakes, power shortages or outages, telecommunications failures, cyber-attacks, terrorism and other physical
security threats, water shortages, tsunamis, floods, hurricanes, typhoons, fires, extreme weather conditions, failure of critical infrastructure, medical epidemics,
including the COVID-19 pandemic, political or economic instability, including war and protests, 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 cause disruptions to Kodak’s operations
or the operations of our suppliers, distributors and resellers, or customers and have material adverse effect on Kodak’s results of operations and financial
condition.
Certain of Kodak’s critical business functions, including our manufacturing and field service operations, cannot be performed remotely, and an inability of
Kodak’s employees to physically work at our or our customers’ locations due to disruptions in service could harm Kodak’s operations, perhaps significantly.
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 relies on third-party suppliers and service providers to support our 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 our manufacturing, logistics, and business operations. To the extent we rely on third-
parties, we face the risks that those third parties may not be able to:
Obtain supplies and materials necessary to deliver goods or services to Kodak
Mitigate the impact of labor shortages and/or other disruptions;
Develop manufacturing methods appropriate to Kodak’s products;
•
•
•
• Maintain an adequate control environment; and
• Quickly respond to changes in customer demand for Kodak’s products.
15
Suppliers may choose to unilaterally withhold products, components or services. In addition, Kodak may experience shortages in supply and disruptions in
service and supply as a result of unexpected demand, transportation and logistical limitations, and/or disruptions or production difficulties at our 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 our 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 our suppliers, Kodak may be unable to meet our customer commitments, our costs
could be higher than planned, and our cash flows and the reliability of our products could be negatively impacted. Kodak will vigorously enforce our contractual
rights under such circumstances, but there is no guarantee we will be successful in preventing or mitigating the effects of unilateral actions by our suppliers.
Other supplier problems that Kodak could encounter include electronic component shortages, interruption of IT services, risks related to the duration and
termination of our contracts with suppliers for components and materials, non-competitive pricing due to tariffs, 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 available or established, could cause interruptions in supply or increases in costs which might result in Kodak’s inability to meet customer demand for our
products, damage to our relationships with our customers, and reduced market share, all of which could adversely affect Kodak’s results of operations and
financial condition.
Any significant negative change in the payment terms that Kodak has with our suppliers could adversely affect our liquidity. There is a risk that Kodak’s key
suppliers could respond to any actual or apparent decrease in or any concern with our 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 our supply could be materially disrupted
if a significant portion of our key suppliers and vendors took one or more of the actions described above, which could have a material adverse effect on our sales,
customer satisfaction, cash flows, liquidity and financial position.
Due to the nature of the products we sell 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 our results of operations and financial position.
As a result of Kodak’s global operating and financing activities, we are exposed to changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates, which may adversely
affect our results of operations and financial position.
Exchange rates and interest rates in markets in which we do business tend to be volatile and, at times, our sales and profitability can be negatively impacted
across all of our 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. 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 Kodak’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Kodak faces additional costs and risks associated with our worldwide business operations.
Kodak’s business is subject to additional costs and risks associated with doing business internationally, such as:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
support of multiple languages;
recruitment of sales and technical support personnel with the skills to design, manufacture, sell and supply
products;
compliance with governmental regulation of imports and exports, including obtaining required import or export
approval for our 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;
16
•
•
•
•
•
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.
As a global company, Kodak is subject to regulatory requirements and laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate, and any alleged non-compliance with these
requirements or laws could result in an adverse financial or reputational impact.
An inability to provide competitive financing arrangements to Kodak’s customers or extension of credit to customers whose creditworthiness deteriorates
could adversely impact our revenue, profitability and financial position.
The competitive environment in which Kodak operates may require us to facilitate or provide financing to our customers. Customer financing arrangements may
cover all or a portion of the purchase price for our products and services. We may also assist customers in obtaining financing from banks and other
sources. Our success may be dependent, in part, upon our ability to provide customer financing on competitive terms and on our 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 our products and services. If Kodak is unable to provide competitive financing solutions to our customers or
if we extend credit to customers whose creditworthiness deteriorates, our revenues, profitability and financial position could be adversely impacted.
Risks Related to Kodak’s Indebtedness and Access to Capital Markets
The Company’s substantial monetary obligations require a portion of our cash flow be used to fund other obligations rather than be invested in the business
and could adversely affect our ability to fund our operations.
The Company has obligations for borrowed money or in connection with letters of credit under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Asset Based Revolving
Credit Agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”), the cash collateralized Letter of Credit Facility Agreement (the “LC Credit Agreement”), and the 2021
Convertible Notes (together, the “Credit Agreements”).
The Company’s indebtedness under the Credit Agreements and our other obligations could have important negative consequences to the Company and investors
in our securities. These include the following:
•
Kodak may not be able to satisfy all of our obligations, including, but not limited to, our obligations under the Credit
Agreements, which may cause a cross-default or cross-acceleration on other debt Kodak may have incurred;
• We could have difficulties obtaining necessary financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, debt
service requirements, refinancing or other purposes;
• We will have to use a significant part of our cash flow or cash balances to make payments on our debt and Series B
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.
•
The Company cannot be sure cash generated from our businesses will be as high as we expect, or our expenses will not be higher than we expect. Because a
portion of our expenses are fixed in any given year, our operating cash flow margins are highly dependent on revenues, which are largely driven by customer
demand. A lower amount of cash generated from our businesses or higher expenses than expected, when coupled with our debt obligations, could adversely
affect Kodak’s ability to fund our operations.
The availability of borrowings and letters of credit under the ABL Credit Agreement and LC 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
less specified reserves as described in Note 8, “Debt and Finance Leases” to the consolidated financial statements. With the exception of 2020 to 2021 with the
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Kodak’s U.S. Accounts Receivable and Inventory levels have been declining over the last several years, and Machinery and
Equipment for purposes of the ABL Credit Agreement amortizes down by $1 million per quarter.
Availability under the Company’s LC Credit Agreement is based on cash collateral in an amount greater than or equal to 103% of the aggregate amount of letters
of credit issued and outstanding at any given time (the “LC Cash Collateral”).
17
If Eligible Receivables, Eligible Inventory and Eligible Machinery and Equipment continue to decline and an asset base cannot be maintained to support the $46
million of letters of credit outstanding under the ABL Credit Agreement and the $11.25 million of Excess Availability required under the ABL Credit
Agreement, or if LC Cash Collateral is not maintained to support the 103% of the $44 million of letters of credit outstanding under the LC Credit Agreement,
the Company would be required to 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 LC Cash Collateral 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, that would increase operational complexities for the Company. An event
of default would occur under these circumstances if the Company is unable to 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.
Kodak may desire additional capital funding and such capital may not be available to us and/or may be limited.
Kodak may desire to raise additional capital, including to pursue additional growth opportunities, strategic transactions or additional reorganization initiatives or
refinance or redeem outstanding debt or preferred stock. Because of Kodak’s current non-investment grade credit rating and financial condition, and/or general
conditions in the financial and credit markets, Kodak’s access to the capital markets may be limited.
Kodak’s ability to obtain capital and the costs of such capital are dependent on numerous factors, including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Covenants in the Credit Agreements;
Obtaining a consent from the holders of Series B and C Preferred Stock for the issuance of additional
preferred shares which rank senior or pari passu to the Series B and C Preferred Stock;
Investor confidence in Kodak and the markets in which we operate;
Our financial performance and projected financial performance and the financial performance and
projected financial performance of our subsidiaries;
Our levels of debt and redemption obligations;
Our ability to generate positive cash flow;
Our ability to consummate monetization transactions including asset sales;
Our requirements for posting collateral under various commercial agreements;
Our current non-investment grade credit rating;
Our 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 may limit our ability to capitalize on growth
or efficiency opportunities or refinancings we would otherwise like to pursue.
There can be no assurance the Company will be able to comply with the terms of our various credit facilities.
A breach of any of the financial or other covenants contained in the Credit Agreements could result in an event of default under these facilities.
18
If any default or event of default occurs under the LC Credit Agreement or ABL Credit Agreement and the Company is not able to either cure it or obtain a
waiver from the requisite lenders under the LC Credit Agreement and ABL Credit Agreement, the administrative agent under the LC Credit Agreement and 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 LC Credit
Agreement and ABL Credit Agreement, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable. In addition, the agent under the LC Credit
Agreement and 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 Term Loan Credit Agreement or 2021 Convertible Notes and the Company is not able to
either cure it or obtain a waiver from the holders of the Term Loan Credit Agreement or 2021 Convertible Notes, such holders may declare all of the Company’s
outstanding obligations under the Term Loan Credit Agreement and 2021 Convertible Notes, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and
payable. If applicable, the administrative agent under the LC Credit Agreement, ABL Credit Agreement and Term Loan Credit Agreement and the collateral
agent for the 2021 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 our ability to satisfy our obligations as they come due.
The current non-investment grade status and Kodak’s financial condition may adversely impact Kodak’s commercial operations, increase our liquidity
requirements and increase the cost of refinancing opportunities. We 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 our 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.
Our credit ratings and financial condition may affect the evaluation of our creditworthiness by trading counterparties and lenders, which could put us at a
disadvantage to competitors with higher or investment grade ratings.
In carrying out our 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 our business.
Should our ratings continue at their current levels, or should our ratings be further downgraded, we 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 we would be required, if requested, to provide up to $3 million of additional letters of credit to the
issuers of certain surety bonds to fully collateralize such bonds.
Legal, Regulatory and Compliance Risks
Legal proceedings and governmental investigations associated with the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation announcement or in general
could have a material adverse effect on our business operations and prospects, reputation, financial condition, results of operations and stock price.
On July 28, 2020, the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (the “DFC”) announced (the “DFC Announcement”) the signing of a non-binding
letter of interest to provide a subsidiary of the Company with a potential $765 million loan (the “DFC Loan”) to support the launch of Kodak Pharmaceuticals, an
initiative that would manufacture pharmaceutical ingredients for essential generic drugs (the “DFC Pharmaceutical Project”).
The DFC Announcement and circumstances surrounding it prompted congressional investigations, an SEC investigation and a New York Attorney General’s
investigation. In addition, lawsuits have been filed or threatened alleging various securities law violations and breaches of fiduciary duties based on
circumstances surrounding the DFC Announcement. For further information on these investigations and lawsuits, see Note 11, “Commitments and
Contingencies” in the Notes to Financial Statements.
19
Legal proceedings in general, and securities and class action litigation and regulatory investigations in particular, can be expensive and disruptive. The
investigations and lawsuits associated with the DFC announcement have diverted, and may continue to divert, the attention of Kodak’s employees, management
and board of directors. In addition, the response to the DFC related investigations and lawsuits has resulted in, and may continue to result in, increased legal
expense and related costs. Kodak’s insurance, to the extent maintained, is not expected to cover all costs associated with the investigations and legal proceedings.
We are unable to predict how long the legal proceedings and investigations to which we are currently subject will continue. An unfavorable outcome of any
governmental investigation or legal proceeding may have an adverse impact on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations, prospects,
or stock price.
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 Kodak periodically reviews, upgrades and enhances certain of our policies and procedures. However, there can be no
assurance that our employees, consultants or agents will not take actions in violation of our policies for which we may be ultimately responsible, or that our
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 our reputation and have a materially adverse effect on Kodak’s 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 our 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. More recent examples of data privacy laws
include the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), California’s Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), and Brazil’s
General Data Protection Law (“LGPD”).
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 our business practices, liability for monetary damages,
fines and/or criminal prosecution, unfavorable publicity, restrictions on our ability to obtain and process information and allegations by our customers and clients
that we have not performed our contractual obligations.
Recent developments in the regulation of cross-border data transfers from the European Economic Area and countries with similar regimes, including
enforcement decisions and regulatory guidance issued by key supervisory authorities, creates uncertainty as to our and our customers’ ability to use platforms
and processing services located in the U.S. and other non-adequate jurisdictions. While existing data transfer mechanisms, such as Standard Contractual Clauses,
remain valid, Kodak’s use of these transfer mechanisms is subject to legal, regulatory and political pressure. Kodak anticipates spending additional time and
expense to enable continued cross-border transfers as needed to operate our business, which may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of
operations.
20
This environment demands Kodak continuously improve our design and coordination of security controls and contractual arrangements across our businesses and
geographies. While Kodak has taken steps to comply with the GDPR, other applicable data protection laws, and the regulations and guidance published by
applicable regulators, our efforts to achieve and remain in compliance may not be fully successful. Despite Kodak’s security controls over personal data, Kodak,
may not prevent the improper disclosure of personal information. Improper disclosure of this information could harm our reputation or subject us to liability
under laws which protect personal data, resulting in increased costs or loss of revenue.
Kodak is subject to environmental laws and regulations. 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 our 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 our products.
Non-compliance with applicable laws or liability incurred without regard to fault could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition. The cost of complying with such laws could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition. Any uncertainties related to environmental conditions or obligations at Kodak’s properties may impact our ability to further develop or sell such
properties.
If Kodak fails to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results, which could have
a material adverse effect on Kodak’s operations, investor confidence in our business and the trading prices of our securities.
Kodak is required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting that are effective for the purposes described in
Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures”. The existence of a material weakness in Kodak’s internal controls may adversely affect our ability to record, process,
summarize and report financial information timely and accurately and, as a result, our financial statements may contain material misstatements or omissions,
which could result in regulatory scrutiny, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial condition and otherwise have a material adverse effect on
Kodak’s business, financial condition, cash flow results of operations or the trading price of Kodak’s stock.
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 our 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 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 our
financial position, results of operations, and cash flow.
Kodak has significant defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit obligations.
The funded status of our U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans (and other postretirement benefit plans), and the related cost reflected in our 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, 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.
21
In past years, Kodak has experienced variability in the costs of these defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit obligations as a result of macro-
economic factors beyond our control, including variability 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 benefits.
There can be no assurance we will succeed in limiting cost increases.
Kodak may be required to recognize impairments in the value of our goodwill and/or other long-lived assets which could adversely affect our results of
operations.
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.
Risks Related to the Company’s Common Stock
The conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and 2021 Convertible Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock may dilute
the value for the current holders of the Company’s common stock.
The 1,000,000 outstanding shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of
9.5238 shares of common stock per share of Series B Preferred Stock, the 1,043,629 outstanding shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock are
convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of 10 shares of common stock per share of Series C Preferred Stock, and the 2021
Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of 100 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount
of 2021 Convertible Notes. The outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock and outstanding principal amount of the 2021 Convertible Notes are expected to
increase as a result of the payment of dividends and interest in kind at a rate of 5.0% per annum. As a result of the conversion of any issued and outstanding
Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or 2021 Convertible Notes (collectively, the “Convertible Securities”), the Company’s existing shareholders
will own a smaller percentage of our outstanding common stock. Based on the capitalization of the Company as of December 31, 2021, the conversion of all
Convertible Securities would result in the issuance to holders thereof of approximately 22% 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 Securities, with such issuances
being further dilutive to existing holders of common stock.
If Convertible Securities 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 Securities 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 Securities or for issuance of additional shares of common stock pursuant to certain
other features of the Convertible Securities, but will experience such dilution to the extent additional shares of common stock are issued in the future as described
above.
The holder of the Series C Preferred Stock owns a large portion of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities, and the holders of the Series C
Preferred Stock and 2021 Convertible Notes each have the right to nominate one member for election 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 holder of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to vote upon all matters upon which holders of the Company’s common stock have the right to
vote and is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of full shares of common stock into which such shares of Series C Preferred Stock could be
converted at the then applicable conversion rate.
The holder of the Series C Preferred Stock holds approximately 11% of the voting power of the Company on an as-converted basis. As a result, this holder may
have the ability to influence future actions by the Company requiring shareholder approval.
22
The holder of the Series C Preferred Stock also has the right to nominate one member for election to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”). This
nomination right expires upon the earlier to occur of the third anniversary of the initial issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock or the holder ceasing to directly
or indirectly hold at least a majority of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock purchased or the common stock received upon the conversion of such shares and is
exclusive to the initial holder and does not transfer with the Series C Preferred Stock.
Also, an affiliate of the Term Loan Lenders has the right to nominate one member for election to the Board until the third anniversary of the initial issuance of the
Term Loans or until the Term Loan Lenders cease to hold at least 50% of the original principal amount of the Term Loans and commitments under the Credit
Agreement, whichever is earlier. Until the Term Loan Lenders cease to hold at least 50% of the original principal amount of the Term Loans and commitments
under the Credit Agreement, at any time that the director nominated by the affiliate of the Term Loan Lenders is not serving on the Board, such affiliate will have
the right to designate a non-voting observer to the Board.
Also, if dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock are in arrears for six or more consecutive or non-consecutive dividend periods, the holders of the Series B
Preferred Stock will be entitled to nominate one director at the next annual shareholder meeting and all subsequent shareholder meetings until all accumulated
dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock have been paid or set aside. As a result, the presence of directors on the Board nominated by the current holder of
Series C Preferred Stock or an affiliate of the Term Loan Lenders or nominated in the future by the holders of Series B Preferred Stock would enable such
holders and lenders to influence the composition of the Board and, in turn, potentially influence and impact future actions taken by the Board.
The Company has registered, and has a duty to register, the resale of a large portion of our outstanding securities. The resale of the Company’s common
stock, or the perception that such resale may occur, may adversely affect the price of our common stock.
In compliance with certain agreements to which the Company is a party, we have registered the resale of an aggregate of up to 44,490,032 shares of common
stock that are either outstanding or issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock or 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 certain agreements to which the Company is subject, certain of the counterparties to such 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 our 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 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.
Holders of the Convertible Securities and holders of large blocks of the Company’s common stock collectively have a significant influence over 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
such securities collectively would be able to cause a significant change in the ownership 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 in securities of the Company which have already occurred 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. Certain accumulations or transfers of the Company’s outstanding securities not involving these holders, could also cause such an “ownership
change”. For more information on the Company’s tax attributes refer to Note 17, “Income Taxes”. The interests of the holders of the Convertible Securities and
holders of large blocks of the Company’s common stock 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, experienced extreme volatility in the context of the DFC Announcement and may
continue to fluctuate significantly. Future announcements or disclosures concerning the Company, our strategic initiatives, our sales and profitability, quarterly
variations in actual or anticipated operating results or comparable sales, any failure to meet analysts’ expectations, sales of large blocks of our common stock and
developments concerning the investigations, lawsuits and claims relating to the DFC Announcement, among other factors, could cause the market price of our
common stock to fluctuate substantially.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Kodak experienced a substantial recovery of customer demand and volumes in 2021 when compared to the prior year, which was largely impacted by the
COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in revenue growth across all segments. Consolidated revenues in the year ended December 31, 2021 were $1.150 billion, an
improvement of $121 million (12%) from 2020. Currency impacted revenue favorably in 2021 compared to 2020 ($16 million).
Traditional Printing’s revenues, which accounted for 57% of Kodak’s total revenues in 2021, improved by $67 million (11%) compared to 2020. Volume for
SONORA Process Free Plates improved by 31% compared to the prior year period. Digital Printing revenues improved $8 million (3%) in 2021 with revenues
for PROSPER annuities growing by 21% when compared to the prior year period. Advanced Materials and Chemicals revenue improved $40 million (23%)
from 2020 to 2021.
Impact of COVID-19 and Other Global Events:
The ongoing global impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and other global events continue to impact Kodak’s operations. Kodak is experiencing
supply chain disruptions, shortages in materials and labor, and increased labor, material and distribution costs. Kodak has implemented numerous measures to
mitigate these challenges, including increasing safety stock on certain sole-sourced materials, increasing lead-times, providing suppliers with longer forecasts of
future demand and certifying additional sources or substitute materials where possible. While Kodak has been able to meet current demand and has implemented
numerous measures to mitigate these challenges, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Kodak’s operations and financial performance remains uncertain
and will depend on the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, including vaccination coverage, infection rates, as well as other factors such as the duration of
supply chain disruptions and the ability to secure raw materials and components.
Kodak continues to work closely with government and health officials in the jurisdictions where it operates to protect employees worldwide, with particular
measures in place for those working in plants and distribution facilities. The manufacturing facilities are operating at close to normal capacity. None of Kodak’s
manufacturing facilities were ordered to close by governmental authorities.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Kodak reduced operating costs, largely beginning in the second quarter of 2020, through the use of temporary
furloughs, pay cuts (approximately $25 million in 2020) for its employees and direct government assistance around the world reimbursing certain salary and
benefits of employees (approximately $8 million in 2020). The furloughs and pay cuts were maintained throughout 2020 and largely ended in January
2021. The direct government assistance largely ended at the end of 2020.
31
Many of the customers within the Traditional Printing and Digital Printing segments continued to operate during the COVID-19 pandemic but at decreased
volumes. Manufacturing volumes were reduced, primarily in 2020, in response to the decline in customer demand, but saw some recovery of volumes starting in
the later part of 2020 and continued improvement in customer demand during 2021. However, certain markets in the printing industry are expected to take
longer to recover to pre-pandemic levels which makes the duration and extent of demand declines uncertain.
Kodak is monitoring the rapidly evolving events surrounding the war in Ukraine. As the worldwide supply of aluminum and electronic components is expected
to decrease as suppliers divert from Russian sources, this may further constrain Kodak’s ability to secure these materials directly from the Company’s suppliers
and Kodak may face increased costs and manufacturing and shipping delays. Kodak is anticipating increased costs for energy and transportation as a result of the
conflict. While the operations of Kodak’s Russian subsidiary are not material to the Company’s financial statements (less than 1% of total consolidated revenues
for 2021), the military conflict in Ukraine and the international response has disrupted Kodak’s ability to operate the Russian subsidiary in the ordinary course,
affecting its ability to pay vendors and employees, receive amounts owed from customers in Russia and deliver product. The extent to which the military conflict
in Ukraine will impact the global economy and Kodak’s business and operations remains uncertain.
Both the Traditional Printing and Digital Printing segments have been impacted by supply chain disruptions, travel restrictions, higher raw material costs and
increased labor costs. To mitigate the impact of higher aluminum, energy and packaging costs, Traditional Printing segment implemented surcharges on
purchases of plates largely beginning in the latter part of the second quarter of 2021 that continue to be periodically reviewed and adjusted accordingly. Both
segments have implemented numerous measures to mitigate the supply chain disruptions while meeting current demand, but Kodak expects the ability to
continue to secure raw materials and components, and the ability to offset higher raw material costs through surcharges for the Traditional Printing segment, will
remain a challenge throughout 2022.
Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment experienced adverse impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, most notably in Motion Picture, where the
industry was heavily impacted and productions in affected regions were suspended. Each of the segment’s product lines was impacted by lowered demand and
travel restrictions. The segment saw a recovery of customer demand starting in the later part of 2020 for Motion Picture film and other Advanced Materials and
Chemicals product lines, which continued in 2021 with volume improvements compared with the prior year period. Advanced Materials and Chemicals has
experienced supply chain disruptions and shortages associated with raw materials as well as labor shortages in certain manufacturing areas. The segment has
implemented numerous measures to mitigate these challenges while meeting current demand, however, the duration and extent of supply chain disruptions and
labor shortages remain unclear.
Business Overview and Strategy:
Segments within the print industry and the film industry face competition from digital substitution. Kodak’s strategy is to:
•
•
•
•
Focus product investment in core competency areas of print, advanced materials and chemicals, 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 and profitability;
Promote the use of film and expand the applications of Kodak’s film and chemicals to best utilize the existing infrastructure; and
Continue to streamline processes to drive cost reductions and improve operating leverage.
A discussion of opportunities and challenges related to Kodak’s strategy follows:
•
Traditional Printing’s 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
is intended to save time and costs for customers. Also, SONORA Process Free Plates reduce the environmental impact of the printing process because
they eliminate the use of chemicals (including solvents), water and power that is otherwise required to process a traditional plate. The segment is
experiencing challenges from higher prices and availability of raw materials, digital substitution and competitive pricing pressures. Kodak seeks to
mitigate the impact of increases in manufacturing costs, including aluminum prices, through a combination of surcharges and price increases,
improved production efficiency and cost reduction initiatives. In addition, Kodak seeks to offset the impact of long-term market dynamics on pricing
and volume pressures through innovations in Kodak product lines.
32
•
•
•
In Digital Printing, the PROSPER business is expected to grow as the legacy VERSAMARK business continues to decline as a percentage of the
segment’s total revenue. The Prosper Inkjet Systems business is expected to continue to build profitability, excluding the negative impacts during the
COVID-19 pandemic. Investment in the next generation technology, Ultrastream, is focused on the ability to place Ultrastream writing systems in
Kodak branded presses and in various original equipment manufacturers in applications ranging from commercial print to packaging. The
Electrophotographic Printing Solutions business expects to introduce a new printer in 2022, ASCEND, aimed at the retail, point of purchase and
packaging markets.
Film and related component manufacturing operations and Kodak Research Laboratories utilize capacity at Eastman Business Park (“EBP”), which
helps cost absorption for both Kodak operations and tenants at Eastman Business Park.
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 certain opportunities in 3D printing materials.
Advanced Materials and Chemicals Growth Initiatives Opportunities:
Based on Kodak’s deep expertise in chemistry and strengths in deposition and coating processes that come from decades of experience in film manufacturing,
Kodak is working on new initiatives within the Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment.
Electric Vehicle (“EV”)/Energy Storage Battery Material Manufacturing
Coating of substrates is a critical aspect of manufacturing materials for batteries and Kodak plans to capitalize on its expertise in coating technology to develop
opportunities in this area.
•
Current activity:
o
Over the past several years, Kodak has been using its pilot coating facility to work with battery developers to coat their materials on substrates
for EV/energy storage batteries and fuel cells. Based on potential commercial opportunities, Kodak is assessing full-scale production feasibility.
o More recently, Kodak has been working with a battery manufacturer to repurpose a full-scale production coating machine to manufacture coated
substrates for cathode and anode assembly in the EV/energy storage battery market. Kodak has begun providing coated material to this
manufacturer from initial production and is in the process of increasing production levels. The maximum capacity of the repurposed coating
machine in its current configuration is up to 80 million square meters per year.
•
Additional opportunities:
o
Kodak will continue to explore opportunities to apply its extensive coating expertise to produce U.S.-manufactured components for battery
assembly through potential investments in and strategic relationships with battery companies and the potential acquisition or licensing of battery
technology. However, material expansion of Kodak’s battery-related business would require material capital improvements to install additional
full-scale production coating machines.
Light-Blocking Technology
Kodak plans to leverage a proprietary technology initially developed for electrophotographic toners to commercialize a carbon-less fabric coating designed to
offer superior light management, from complete blackout to selective light filtering, and coating compatibility with an unmatched range of fabrics.
•
Current activity:
o
Kodak has successfully developed and tested a product branded KODALUX for blinds and drapery coating applications. There has been
significant interest in the KODALUX product from major hospitality businesses.
33
o
Kodak is completing the installation and commissioning of its proprietary fabric coating plant in Eastman Business Park, located in Rochester,
NY. Kodak expects the coating facility to come online and start supplying product in the second half of 2022.
Transparent Antennas
Kodak plans to leverage its proprietary copper micro-wire technologies and high-resolution printing expertise to contract-manufacture custom transparent
antennas for automotive, commercial construction, and other applications requiring excellent radio frequency (“RF”) and optical performance. The integration of
antennas is growing worldwide due to the rapid expansion of 5G and an overall increase in RF communications, and the ubiquity of glass surfaces makes
transparent antennas attractive for multiple end-use markets.
•
Current activity:
o
o
Kodak is working with multiple customers in several market segments at different stages of the commercialization process for antenna products.
Kodak is making a modest investment in manufacturing infrastructure in 2022 to meet the needs of RF antenna customers.
Reagent Manufacturing
Kodak plans to capitalize on its existing chemical manufacturing expertise, including current production of unregulated Key Starting Materials for
pharmaceuticals, to implement an expansion into manufacturing Diagnostic Test Reagent solutions.
•
Current activity
o
o
Kodak is in the early stages of developing a test reagent manufacturing facility for producing reagents used in laboratory tests. Renovation to
convert an existing clean room to a Current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”) facility is underway.
Kodak’s initial objective is to enter the domestic Balanced Buffer market due to the domestic supply chain crisis and regulatory requirements.
Once the Kodak cGMP facility is operational, it will provide a pathway for Kodak to manufacture limited volumes of a variety of regulated
chemicals and materials for pharmaceutical/healthcare applications.

Revenues
For the year ended December 31, 2021, revenues improved approximately $121 million compared with the same period in 2020. Volume increases within
Traditional Printing ($49 million), Advanced Materials and Chemicals ($29 million), Digital Printing ($5 million), Brand ($2 million) and Other ($4 million),
improved pricing in Advanced Materials and Chemicals ($9 million) and Traditional Printing ($7 million), and favorable foreign currency ($16 million) drove
the revenue improvement. See segment discussions for additional details.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for 2021 improved approximately $29 million compared with the same period in 2020, primarily due to increased volume in Advanced Materials
and Chemicals and Brand ($10 million and $2 million, respectively), favorable pricing in Traditional Printing and Advanced Materials and Chemicals ($9 million
and $8 million, respectively), improved manufacturing costs ($11 million) driven by more favorable cost absorption from improved volume, a decrease in
employee benefit reserves ($5 million) and lower depreciation and amortization expenses ($7 million), partially offset by higher aluminum costs ($20 million),
volume declines in Digital Printing ($4 million) and unfavorable foreign currency ($2 million). See segment discussions for additional details.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Consolidated SG&A for 2021 increased $5 million driven by higher consulting and other costs in 2021 ($10 million) primarily associated with the internal and
external investigations and related litigation that started in the third quarter of 2020 and higher administrative expenses ($6 million) primarily due to savings
from temporary furloughs and pay cuts in 2020 ($7 million) that largely ended in January 2021. Offsetting these impacts were lower stock compensation
expense recognized in the current year period ($8 million) and a decrease in employee benefit reserves ($2 million). Temporary government assistance programs
in 2020 provided a savings of approximately $3 million which did not reoccur in 2021.
Research and Development Costs
Consolidated R&D expenses decreased $1 million in 2021.
35
Restructuring Costs and Other
These costs, as well as restructuring costs reported in Cost of revenues, are discussed under the "Restructuring Costs and Other" section in this MD&A and Note
18, “Restructuring Costs and Other”.
Interest Expense
The increase in interest expense in 2021 of $21 million primarily reflects the impact of the financing transactions entered into during the first quarter of
2021. Refer to Note 8, “Debt and Finance Leases” for further information.
Other Operating (Income) Expense, Net
For details, refer to Note 15, “Other Operating (Income) Expense, Net.”
Other (Income) Charges, Net
The change in Other (income) charges, net in 2020 was primarily driven by the change in the fair value of the embedded conversion features derivative liability
associated with the Convertible Notes issued in 2019 (the “2019 Convertible Notes”) at the time of their conversion due to the volatility of the Company’s stock
in the third quarter of 2020. Refer to Note 13, “Financial Instruments” and Note 16, “Other (Income) Charges, Net”.
Pension Income
For details, refer to Note 19, “Retirement Plans.”
Provision for Income Taxes
The change in Provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2020 was driven by the $167 million provision associated with the establishment of a
valuation allowance on deferred tax assets outside the U.S. in 2020. Refer to Note 17, “Income Taxes”.

Kodak’s segment measure of profit and loss is an adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Operational EBITDA”). As
demonstrated in the table below, Operational EBITDA represents the earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes excluding non-service cost
components of pension and other postemployment benefits income; depreciation and amortization expense; restructuring costs; stock-based compensation
expense; consulting and other costs; idle costs; other operating income, net (unless otherwise indicated); interest expense; loss on early extinguishment of debt
and other income (charges), net.
Kodak’s segments are measured using Operational EBITDA both before and after allocation of corporate selling, general and administrative expenses
(“SG&A”). The segment earnings measure reported is after allocation of corporate SG&A as this most closely aligns with U.S. GAAP. Research and
development activities not directly related to the other segments are reported within the Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment.

$6 million of income from the transition services agreement with the purchaser of Kodak’s Flexographic Packaging Business (“FPD”) was recognized in the
year ended December 31, 2020. No income was recognized in the year ended December 31, 2021. The income was reported in Other operating (income)
expense, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Other operating (income) expense, net is typically excluded from the segment
measure. However, the income from the transition services agreement was included in the segment measure.
(4) As reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Kodak decreased workers’ compensation reserves by approximately $4 million in 2021 driven by changes in discount rates. Kodak increased employee benefit
reserves by approximately $4 million in 2020 reflecting an increase in workers’ compensation reserves ($7 million) partially offset by a decrease in
postemployment benefit reserves ($3 million). The decrease in reserves in 2021 impacted gross profit by approximately $3 million and SG&A by approximately
$1 million. The increase in reserves in 2020 impacted gross profit and SG&A each by approximately $2 million.

Revenues
The improvement in Advanced Materials and Chemicals revenues of approximately $40 million is the result of volume improvements and higher pricing in
Industrial Film and Chemicals ($26 million and $8 million, respectively) as well as volume improvements in Motion Picture ($12 million) due to the impact of
COVID-19 pandemic in the prior year period as well as favorable foreign currency ($1 million). Partially offsetting these favorable impacts were volume
declines in Consumer Inkjet Solutions ($1 million) as the final build of inventory was sold in the first half of 2020. Additionally, the prior year period included
revenues from KSB ($8 million), a business which was sold in December 2020.
Operational EBITDA
Advanced Materials and Chemicals Operational EBITDA improved approximately $17 million reflecting favorable volume and higher prices in Industrial Film
and Chemicals ($7 million and $8 million, respectively), volume improvements in Motion Picture ($5 million), and a reduction in employee benefit reserves ($3
million). Partially offsetting these favorable impacts was higher administrative expenses ($2 million) primarily due to temporary furloughs and pay cuts in the
prior year period and higher manufacturing costs ($3 million).

RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER
2021
Restructuring actions taken in 2021 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 and other administrative functions.
As a result of these actions, for the year ended December 31, 2021 Kodak recorded $6 million of charges which were reported as Restructuring costs and other in
the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Kodak made cash payments related to restructuring of approximately $10 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The restructuring actions implemented in 2021 are expected to generate future annual cash savings of approximately $12 million. These savings are expected to
reduce future annual Cost of revenues and SG&A expenses by $6 million each. Kodak expects the majority of the annual savings to be in effect by the end of the
second quarter of 2022 as actions are completed. See Note 18, “Restructuring Costs and Other” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information
on Kodak’s restructuring actions.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Management’s Assessment of Liquidity
Kodak ended the year with a cash balance of $362 million, an increase of $166 million from December 31, 2020. The financing transactions entered into during
the first quarter of 2021 provided additional liquidity to the Company to fund on-going operations and obligations, invest in growth opportunities in Kodak’s
businesses of print and advanced materials and chemicals and for corporate infrastructure investments expected to contribute to improvements in cash
flow. Kodak’s plans to return to sustainable positive cash flow include growing revenues profitably, reducing operating expenses, continuing to simplify the
organizational structure, generating cash from selling and leasing underutilized assets and implementing ways to reduce cash collateral needs. Kodak believes
the expected cash provided from operating activities, together with the current levels of cash and cash equivalents, available borrowing capacity under the
Amended ABL Credit Agreement, available borrowing resources under the Term Loan Credit Agreement and additional liquidity measures will be sufficient to
meet the Company’s short-term and long-term cash requirements, as further described below.

Current Overview:
Kodak’s products are sold and serviced in numerous countries across the globe with more than half of sales generated outside the U.S. Global economic
conditions remain highly volatile due to impacts of the on-going COVID-19 pandemic and other global events. The conversion of accounts receivable to cash
improved during 2021 but collection risk remains high. Kodak businesses are experiencing supply chain disruptions, shortages in materials and labor, and
increased labor, commodity and distribution costs. Kodak has implemented numerous measures to mitigate the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic
and other global events, including reducing operating costs, largely beginning in the second quarter of 2020, through the use of temporary furloughs and pay
reductions, adjusting manufacturing volumes to meet changing expectations around production requirements and implementing surcharges on purchases of
plates. The furloughs and pay-cuts largely ended in January 2021. While manufacturing volumes have improved, the economic uncertainty surrounding the
COVID-19 pandemic and other global events represents a continuing element of complexity in Kodak’s plans to return to sustainable positive cash flow. The
Company cannot predict the duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic, the severity of the virus, the emergence and spread of new variants of the virus, as
well as other factors such as the ability to continue to secure raw materials and components, the impact of rising costs of raw materials, or how quickly and to
what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities increased $12 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared with the prior year primarily due to lower
reductions of accounts receivable, increased investment in inventory in 2021 and lower cash earnings partially offset by decreases in cash used for accounts
payable.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased $7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the prior year due to increased capital investment
in 2021 as well as higher proceeds received in 2020 from sales of assets and a return on an equity investment.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities improved $228 million in the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the prior year driven by net proceeds of
$247 million received from the current year refinancing transactions and lower preferred stock cash dividend payments ($15 million) partially offset by proceeds
received from stock option exercises ($33 million) in the prior year period.
40
Sources of Liquidity
Available liquidity includes cash balances and the unused portion of the Amended ABL Credit Agreement. The amount of available liquidity is subject to
fluctuations and includes cash balances held by various entities worldwide. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, approximately $250 million and $99 million,
respectively, of cash and cash equivalents were held within the U.S. and approximately $112 million and $97 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents
were held outside the U.S. Cash balances held outside of the U.S. are generally required to support local country operations, may have high tax costs or other
limitations that delay the ability to repatriate, and therefore may not be readily available for transfer to other jurisdictions. Kodak utilizes cash balances outside
the U.S. to fund needs in the U.S. through the use of intercompany loans.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 outstanding intercompany loans to the U.S. were $418 million and $449 million, respectively, which includes short-term
intercompany loans from Kodak’s international finance center of $119 million and $150 million. In China, where approximately $42 million and $34 million,
respectively, of cash and cash equivalents were held as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there are limitations related to net asset balances that impact the ability
to make cash available to other jurisdictions in the world. On May 12, 2020, a Chinese subsidiary of Kodak transferred approximately $70 million to a U.S.
subsidiary of Kodak in an inter-company transaction.
Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement
On February 26, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the ABL Credit Agreement (as amended in 2021, the “Amended ABL Credit
Agreement”). The Amended ABL Credit Agreement amended the ABL Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date to February 26,
2024 or the date that is 90 days prior to the earliest scheduled maturity date or mandatory redemption date of any of the Company’s Term Loans, 2021
Convertible Notes, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or any refinancings of any of the foregoing and (ii) decrease the aggregate amount of
commitments from $110 million to $90 million.
Commitments under the Amended ABL Credit Agreement continue to be able to be used in the form of revolving loans or letters of credit. The Company had
issued approximately $46 million letters of credit under the Amended ABL Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2021 and $90 million letters of credit under the
ABL Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2020.
Letter of Credit Facility Agreement
On February 26, 2021, the Company entered into a Letter of Credit Facility Agreement (the “L/C Facility Agreement”, and together with the Term Loan Credit
Agreement and the Amended ABL Credit Agreement the “Credit Agreements”). Pursuant to the L/C Facility Agreement, the L/C Lenders committed to issue
letters of credit on the Company’s behalf in an aggregate amount of up to $50 million, provided the Company posts cash collateral in an amount greater than or
equal to 103% of the aggregate amount of letters of credit issued and outstanding at any given time (the “L/C Cash Collateral”).
The term of the L/C Facility Agreement is three years, subject to the same automatic springing maturity as the Amended ABL Credit Agreement. The Company
had issued approximately $44 million letters of credit under the L/C Facility Agreement as of December 31, 2021. The balance on deposit in the L/C Cash
Collateral account as of December 31, 2021 is approximately $45 million, of which $14 million was deposited into the L/C Cash Collateral account from
proceeds of the financing transactions described herein and the remainder of which was cash collateral previously used to secure letters of credit under the ABL
Credit Agreement.
Under both the Amended ABL Credit Agreement and the L/C Facility Agreement the Company is required to maintain Minimum Liquidity of at least $80
million, which is tested at the end of each quarter. Minimum Liquidity was $250 million at December 31, 2021. If Minimum Liquidity falls below $80 million
an Event of Default would occur and the Agent has the right to declare the obligation of each Lender to make Revolving Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue
Letters of Credit to be terminated, and declare the Revolving Loans, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under the Amended ABL Credit
Agreement to be due and payable.
Under the ABL Credit Agreement, the Amended ABL Credit Agreement and the L/C Facility Agreement the Company is required to maintain Excess
Availability above 12.5% of lender commitments ($11.25 million and $13.75 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively), which is tested at the end of
each month. Excess Availability was $27 million and $20 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. If Excess Availability falls below 12.5% of
lender commitments a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Trigger Event would occur. During any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Trigger Event, the Company would
be required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of greater than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0.
41
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, 2021 and
2020, Kodak was not required to have a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.0 to 1.0.
The Amended ABL Credit Agreement removed Eligible Cash from the Borrowing Base. Therefore, amounts funded into the Eligible Cash account will no
longer increase Excess Availability for purposes of compliance reporting. As of December 31, 2020, to maintain Excess Availability of greater than 12.5% of
lender commitments, Kodak funded $35 million to the Eligible Cash account held with the ABL Credit Agreement Administrative Agent, which was classified
as Restricted Cash in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Kodak intends to continue to maintain Excess Availability above the minimum threshold. The borrowing base is supported by Eligible Receivables, Eligible
Inventory and Eligible Equipment. As noted above, since Excess Availability was greater than 12.5% of lender commitments Kodak was not required to have a
minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2021 Fixed Charges (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) exceeded EBITDA by
approximately $32 million, therefore the Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio was less than 1.0 to 1.0.
Excess Cash Flow
On an annual basis, the Company will prepay, within 10 business days following the filing of annual Form 10-K, outstanding Loans in an amount equal to Excess
Cash Flow (“ECF”) as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement provided no such prepayment is required if such prepayment would cause U.S. liquidity to be
less than $85 million. For the year ended December 31, 2021 ECF was a negative amount, therefore no prepayment is required in 2022.
Available Borrowing Resources
The Term Loan Credit Agreement includes a commitment to provide delayed draw term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $50 million on or before
February 26, 2023. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has not drawn down any of the delayed draw term loans.
Other Collateral Requirements
The New York State Workers’ Compensation Board (“NYSWCB”) requires security deposits related to self-insured workers’ compensation obligations. The
security deposit required by NYSWCB is based on actuarial calculations of the Company’s obligations and company specific factors such as its declining
workforce and reducing exposure. The NYSWCB calculation also includes a financial contingency based on the employer’s credit rating and a calculation of
unallocated loss adjustment expenses. In 2020 the NYSWCB waived both of these charges to provide employers relief while they managed the economic
impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021 the NYSWCB waived the financial contingency based on the Company’s credit rating. The waived security
deposit was $17 million in 2020 and increased to $39 million in 2021. After excluding the waived amount for 2021, the increase to the security deposit required
by NYSWCB is $19 million. The Company has agreed to post additional collateral of approximately $4 million over a five-year period, starting in 2021, to
satisfy the security deposit obligation. The collateral obligation can be satisfied by issuing letters of credit or through other means. The additional collateral
requirement for 2021 was funded in November 2021 by issuing letters of credit. The security deposit required by NYSWCB will be re-calculated
annually. Therefore, the amount of additional collateral required may change each year.
As a result of the Company’s current credit ratings, during the second quarter of 2020 two surety bond holders notified the Company they required approximately
$9 million of incremental collateral. The Company reduced the surety bond value by approximately $9 million in July 2020 with an equivalent increase to an
existing letter of credit with the New York Workers’ Compensation board. The Company could be required to provide up to $3 million of letters of credit to the
issuers of certain surety bonds in the future to fully collateralize the bonds.
Other Sources/Uses of Cash Related to Financing Transactions and Stock Options
The holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends payable quarterly in cash at a rate of 4% per annum. All dividends have been
declared and paid when due. Due to exercises of stock options primarily by ex-employees, the Company received approximately $33 million, net of tax
payments, in 2020.
42
Defined Benefit Pension and Postretirement Plans
Kodak made contributions (funded plans) or paid net benefits (unfunded plans) totaling approximately $16 million relating to its non-U.S. defined benefit
pension and postretirement benefit plans in 2021. For 2022, the forecasted contribution (funded plans) and net benefit payment (unfunded plans) requirements
for its Non-U.S. defined benefit pension and postretirement plans are approximately $16 million. Kodak does not expect to make any cash contributions for its
U.S. pension plans in 2022.
Capital Expenditures
Cash flows from investing activities included $21 million for capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2021. Kodak expects approximately $45
million to $60 million of cash flows for investing activities from capital expenditures for the year ending December 31, 2022. The expected increase in capital
expenditures in 2022 is driven by investments in growth initiatives and back-office automation.
U.S. International Development Finance Corporation Non-Binding Letter of Interest
On July 28, 2020, the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation signed a non-binding letter of interest to provide a subsidiary of the Company with a
potential $765 million loan to support the launch of Kodak Pharmaceuticals, an initiative that would manufacture pharmaceutical ingredients for essential generic
drugs. The DFC Loan would be for facility upgrades and construction, provide working capital, and finance other necessary direct expenditures supporting the
launch of Kodak Pharmaceuticals. The signing of the letter of interest indicated Kodak’s successful completion of the DFC’s initial screening, which would be
followed by standard due diligence conducted by the DFC before financing would be formally committed. The application process for the DFC Loan was put on
hold when investigations were commenced with respect to the circumstances surrounding the DFC Announcement. While the letter of interest with the DFC has
never been formally terminated and the Company has not received any communication from the DFC rejecting its application, given the time that has elapsed
and the changes in administration at the federal government and the DFC the Company is operating on the basis that the DFC Loan as envisioned at the time of
the DFC Announcement will not proceed.
The Company remains interested in working with the DFC and other governmental agencies to leverage its assets and technology to on-shore manufacturing of
pharmaceutical and other healthcare materials. As described under “Overview” above, the Company is also continuing to explore expanding further into the
pharmaceutical space on a smaller scale than contemplated by the DFC Loan using other sources of capital, including a portion of the capital raised by the
Company on February 26, 2021.

Primarily represents the maturity values of Kodak's long-term debt obligations as of December 31, 2021. The loans made under the Term Credit
Agreement become due on February 26, 2026. The 2021 Convertible Notes become due on May 28, 2026. The loans made under the Term Credit
Agreement receive 4% paid-in-kind interest at maturity. The 2021 Convertible Notes receive 5% paid-in-kind interest at maturity. The paid-in-kind
interest for both the Term Credit Agreement and the 2021 Convertible Notes is included in the principal amount due. The contractual obligations do not
reflect any contingent mandatory annual principal prepayments that may be required to be made upon achieving certain excess cash flow targets, as
defined in the Term Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 8, "Debt and Finance Leases" in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Purchase obligations include agreements related to raw materials, supplies, production and administrative services, as well as marketing and advertising,
that are enforceable and legally binding on Kodak and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed,
minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Purchase obligations exclude agreements that are cancelable
without penalty.
Due to uncertainty regarding the completion of tax audits and possible outcomes, an estimate of the timing of payments related to uncertain tax positions
and interest cannot be made. See Note 17, “Income Taxes,” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information regarding Kodak’s uncertain
tax positions.
For 2022, the Company is forecasting $16 million in contributions and net benefit payments for its Non-U.S. major defined benefit retirement plans and
other postretirement benefit plans. Expected contributions are excluded from the contractual obligations table because they do not represent contractual
cash outflows, as they are dependent on numerous factors which may result in a wide range of outcomes.
Because timing of their future cash outflows are uncertain, the other long-term liabilities presented in Note 7, “Other Long-Term Liabilities,” in the
Notes to Financial Statements are excluded from this table.
On February 26, 2021, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of 4% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value per share (the “Series B Preferred
Stock”) and 1,000,000 shares of 5% Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”). The Series B and
Series C Preferred Stock have a liquidation preference of $100 per share. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends
payable quarterly in cash at a rate of 4% per annum. The holder of Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to cumulative dividends payable quarterly in
additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock. If holders of the Series B and Series C Preferred stock convert their shares into common stock, dividends
will decrease.
The Company is required to redeem all shares not converted prior to the fifth anniversary of the initial issuance at $100 per share plus the amount of any
accrued and unpaid dividends. Due to uncertainty regarding the number of shares that will be redeemed, the redemption amount has not been included in
the above table. Refer to Note 9, "Redeemable, Convertible Preferred Stock" in the Notes to Financial Statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP)
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Significant accounting
policies used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements are more fully described in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting
Policies”. The accounting policies most critical to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective or complex
judgments are described below.
Revenue Recognition
Kodak's revenue transactions include sales of products, software, services, integrated solutions, intellectual property licensing and real estate management
activities. Complex multiple element 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. When the stand-alone selling price is not directly observable, it is estimated based on management judgment considering available
data such as internal margin objectives, pricing strategies, market/competitive conditions, historical profitability data, as well as other observable inputs.
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.
44
At the time revenue is recognized, Kodak also records reductions to revenue for customer incentive programs such as volume rebates and promotional
allowances. For those incentives that require estimation, 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 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
Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) 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. As of December 31, 2021,
goodwill is only recorded in the Brand and Software 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, 2021. 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 reporting units without goodwill 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 January 1, 2022 to December
31, 2026 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 14% to 31% were
utilized in the valuation based on Kodak’s best estimates of the after-tax WACC of each reporting unit.
A terminal value was included for all reporting units at the end of the cash flow projection period to reflect the remaining value that the reporting unit is expected
to generate. The terminal value was calculated using either the constant growth method (“CGM”) based on the cash flows of the final year of the discrete period
or the H-model, which assumes the growth during the terminal period starts at a higher rate and declines in a linear manner over a specified transition period
toward a stable growth rate.
Based upon the results of Kodak’s December 31, 2021 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, 2021. 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 for the period January 1,
2022 to December 31, 2026, including a terminal year with growth rates ranging from -0.5% 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 31%, which were based on the
after-tax WACC.
45
Based on the results of Kodak’s December 31, 2021 assessment, the fair value of the Kodak trade name exceeded its carrying value. 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% miss in expected revenues would impact the fair value of the Kodak trade name by $3 million, which would not result in an
impairment.
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 updated its estimate of undiscounted cash flows for each
asset group as of December 31, 2021. Based on the results of the impairment tests, no impairments were recorded.
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.
Convertible Notes Embedded Conversion Features
The 2021 Convertible Notes are considered more akin to debt-type instruments. The economic characteristics and risks of the embedded conversion features in
the 2021 Convertible Notes were not considered clearly and closely related to the 2021 Convertible Notes. Accordingly, these embedded features were
bifurcated from the 2021 Convertible Notes and separately accounted for at fair value as a single derivative, which reduced the carrying value of the 2021
Convertible Notes. The derivative is being accounted for at fair value with subsequent changes in the fair value being reported as part of Other (income) charges,
net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The fair value of the embedded conversion features derivative is calculated using unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair measurements). The binomial model is used
to estimate the fair value of the embedded derivative which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of Kodak’s
common stock. If factors change and different assumptions are used, the fair value of the embedded derivative liability could be materially different in the
future. Refer to Note 13, “Financial Instruments” for additional information regarding the key inputs in the determination of fair value for the embedded
conversion features.
The table below summarizes the expected stock price volatility and the closing stock price used as of December 31, 2021 and at inception for the 2021

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, 2021, Kodak has net deferred tax assets before valuation allowances of
approximately $905 million and a valuation allowance related to those net deferred tax assets of approximately $934 million, resulting in net deferred tax
liabilities of approximately $29 million.
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. As of March 31, 2020, Kodak determined that it was more likely than not that deferred tax
assets outside the U.S. which were not offset with valuation allowances as of March 31, 2020 would not be realized due to reductions in estimates of future
profitability as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in locations outside the U.S. Accordingly, Kodak recorded a provision of $167 million associated with the
establishment of a valuation allowance on those deferred tax assets.
Kodak may be able to make the determination that the realization of deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions 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 5% 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, 2021, Kodak had
available U.S. NOL carry-forwards for income tax purposes of approximately $1,389 million and unused foreign tax credits of $358 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 $20 million and $22 million for potential taxes on undistributed earnings, including foreign withholding taxes, as of
December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
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. The assumptions that have
the most significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations are the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets
(“EROA”) and discount rates. Actual results that differ from Kodak’s assumptions are recorded as unrecognized gains and losses as a component of accumulated
other comprehensive
47
Income (loss) in shareholders’ equity 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.
Return on Plan Assets
EROA is a long-term assumption, which Kodak reviews annually. Kodak utilizes asset and liability modeling studies to adjust asset exposures to conform to its
investment strategy, and to review its liability hedging program. These studies generate forward-looking estimates of correlation, risk and return which are used
in the development of the EROA. The EROA is estimated utilizing a forward-looking building block model which factors in the expected risk of each asset
category, return, and correlation over a five to seven-year horizon, and weights the exposures by the strategic asset allocation.
Historical inputs are utilized in the forecasting model, including historical asset returns with adjustments based on the forward-looking view. Kodak aggregates
investments into major asset categories based on the underlying benchmark of the strategy. Each allocation to these major asset categories is determined to
accomplish unique objectives, including enhancing portfolio return, providing portfolio diversification, or hedging plan liabilities, in accordance with the overall
investment strategy.
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, 2021, 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 $4.7 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’s major U.S. defined benefit pension plan accounts for substantially all of Kodak’s net pension income and represents approximately 87% of the total fair
value of major plan assets as of December 31, 2021. The following table presents actual and expected return on plan assets, as well as the corresponding
percentages for Kodak’s major U.S. defined benefit pension plan:

The actual rate of return on Kodak’s major U.S. defined benefit pension plan for 2021 was 17.7%, higher than the expected rate of return of 5.2%, driven by
higher returns for the U.S. Plan’s private equity and hedge fund portfolio. For 2020 and 2019, the actual rates of return exceeded the expected rates of return
driven by strong stock and bond market performance as well as realized gains recorded from derivative investments held by the U.S. Plan. The expected average
rate of return on plan assets is a long-term, forward-looking assumption and will likely differ from the actual return in any specific year.
Gains or losses from direct investments in derivative instruments by Kodak’s major U.S defined benefit pension plan can be volatile from year to year and could
materially affect the fair value of plan assets. The total net realized (losses) gains from these derivative investments that were included in the actual return on
plan assets balance in the table above for the years ending December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was approximately ($23) million, $159 million and $131 million,
respectively. Refer to the Derivative Instruments discussion below for additional information.
48
Approximately $3.4 billion and $3.1 billion of the total fair value of Kodak’s major U.S. defined pension plan as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively,
represents plan assets where the fair market value is not readily determinable and are measured using the net asset value (“NAV”) per share expedient. Except
for investments in private equity funds and real estate funds, the remaining investments have redemption rights and can be, and historically have been, redeemed
by the U.S. Plan at NAV. For private equity funds and real estate funds, the investors do not have an option to redeem their interest in these funds but rather
receive distributions from time to time through the liquidation of the underlying investments in the funds. Secondary sales of a material portion of the
investments in these funds are infrequent and historically, immaterial portions of these funds were sold for values not significantly different from NAV.
Discount Rates:
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. Plan, the Citigroup Above Median Pension Discount Curve
is used. For Kodak’s 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.
Changes in discount rates for Kodak’s major U.S. defined benefit plan has the most significant effect on the total projected benefit obligations for Kodak.
The table below shows the discount rates for Kodak’s major U.S. pension plan for the years shown:
Discount Rates - Projected Benefit Obligation:
U.S. Plan
Year Ended December 31,
2020
2021
2019
2.54%
2.09%
2.97%
As discount rates reflect the market rate on the measurement date, the rates can be volatile from year to year. The increase in the discount rate for Kodak’s major
U.S. defined benefit pension plan from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021 resulted in a decrease in the projected benefit obligation of approximately
$105 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease in the discount rate for the U.S. Plan from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020 resulted in an increase in
the projected benefit obligation of approximately $276 million at December 31, 2020.
Sensitivity Analysis:
The following table illustrates the sensitivity to a change to certain key assumptions used in the calculation of expense for the year ending December 31, 2022

Total pension income from continuing operations before special termination benefits, curtailments and settlements for the major U.S. defined benefit pension
plan was $86 million for 2021 and is expected to be approximately $113 million in 2022. Pension expense from continuing operations before special termination
benefits, curtailments and settlements for the major non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans was $2 million for 2021 and is projected to be $8 million in 2022.
49
Derivative Instruments:
Kodak’s major U.S. defined benefit plan utilizes derivative investments primarily to hedge liability interest rate risk to U.S. government bonds. Kodak’s major
U.S. defined benefit pension plan’s derivative portfolio consists of exchange traded futures contracts. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 the notional amount of
these derivative instruments approximated $1.0 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively. Daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the
counterparty for changes in the market value of futures contracts and are recorded as realized gains and losses in the Gain on Plan Assets balance. As these
futures contracts have short-term maturities, the fair value of these derivative instruments at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $10 million and ($4) million,
respectively, which represents the unrealized gains and losses on these contracts. Refer to Note 19, “Retirement Plans” in the Notes to Financial Statements for
additional information.
An increase in interest rates is the primary factor that could precipitate material losses in the U.S. Plan’s existing derivatives portfolio. A 25-basis point increase
in interest rates would cause a loss from the government bond derivatives of approximately $18 million. However, as illustrated in the above table, a 25-basis
point increase in the discount rate used to measure the PBO of the U.S. Plan would cause a $65 million decrease in the PBO. Accordingly, while an increase in
interest rates would expose the U.S. Plan’s derivative investments to losses, it would also likely result in an offsetting decrease the U.S. Plan’s PBO.
Kodak’s major U.S. defined benefit plan invests in a diversified portfolio of hedge funds that utilize a variety of investment strategies. The total net asset value
of these hedge funds was approximately $1.8 billion and $1.5 billion as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 respectively. Separate from the U.S. Plan’s direct
investments in exchange traded futures contracts, hedge funds may utilize derivative instruments to execute their investment strategy.
Any gains or losses, as well as changes in the fair value of derivative investments held by the hedge fund, are included in the hedge fund’s net asset
value. Losses could occur in the future from hedge fund investments which may result in part from the use of derivative investments by the hedge
funds. However, the maximum potential loss on any individual fund would be limited to the U.S. Plan’s investment in that fund.
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.
Changes in discount rates is the primary driver for changes in workers’ compensation reserves. Kodak decreased workers’ compensation reserves by approximately
$4 million in 2021 and increased workers’ compensation reserves by approximately $7 million in 2020 driven by changes in discount rates. A 25 basis-point change
in the discount rate would have had a $2 million impact on the expense and net liability as of December 31, 2021.
Stock Compensation
Kodak recorded stock compensation expense of $7 million, $15 million and $7 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019,
respectively. Compensation expense is recognized over the service or performance period for each separately vesting tranche of the award and is adjusted for
actual forfeitures before vesting.
Compensation cost related to restricted stock units and restricted stock awards was $5 million, $1 million and $2 million for the years ended December 31, 2021,
2020 and 2019, respectively. The fair value of restricted stock units and restricted stock awards is based on the closing market price of the Company’s stock on
the grant date. Changes in the fair value of restricted stock units and restricted stock awards is driven by the volatility of the Company’s stock price and the
number of awards issued.
50
Compensation cost related to stock options for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $2 million, $14 million and $5 million,
respectively. Except for the awards granted on July 27, 2020, which resulted in approximately $12.6 million of compensation expense being recognized in the
year ended December 31, 2020, Kodak utilizes the Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the fair value of stock options. Changes in the fair value of
stock options is primarily driven by the volatility of the Company’s stock price.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or 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.
New Accounting Pronouncements
A description of new accounting pronouncements is contained in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Kodak, as a result of its global operating and financing activities, is exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and interest rates,
which may adversely affect its results of operations and financial position. In seeking to minimize the risks associated with such activities, Kodak may enter into
derivative contracts. Kodak does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. Foreign currency forward contracts are used to
hedge existing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, especially those of Kodak’s International Treasury Center, as well as forecasted foreign
currency denominated intercompany sales.
Kodak’s exposure to changes in interest rates results from its investing and borrowing activities used to meet its liquidity needs. Long-term debt is generally
used to finance long-term investments, while short-term debt is used to meet working capital requirements.
Using a sensitivity analysis based on estimated fair value of open foreign currency forward contracts using available forward rates, if the U.S. dollar had been
10% stronger at December 31, 2021 and 2020, the fair value of open forward contracts would have decreased $14 million and $15 million, respectively. Such
changes in fair value would be substantially offset by the revaluation or settlement of the underlying positions hedged.
The majority of the Company’s debt is fixed rate debt. The fair market value of fixed-rate debt is sensitive to changes in interest rates. At December 31, 2021, a
10% change in market interest rates would change the fair value of the Company’s debt by approximately $1 million.
Kodak’s financial instrument 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, 2021 was not significant to Kodak.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Eastman Kodak Company
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of Eastman Kodak Company (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020,
the related consolidated statement of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity (deficit) and cash flow for each of the two years in the period ended
December 31, 2021, and the related notes and financial statement schedule for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021 listed in the Index at
Item 15 (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 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in
the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated March 15, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial
statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to
assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 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 financial statements. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required
to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our
especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated
financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit
matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
52
Identification of Embedded Derivatives
Description of the
Matter
As discussed in Notes 8, 9 and 13 of the consolidated financial statements, on February 26, 2021 the Company executed a series
of transactions which included a Term Loan Credit Agreement, an Amended ABL Credit Agreement, a Series A Preferred Stock
Repurchase and Exchange Agreement and a Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement. Certain of these agreements contain
conversion features that are not considered clearly and closely related to their respective host contracts. Accordingly, these
embedded features are bifurcated and separately accounted for at fair value as derivatives with changes in fair value reported in
Other (income) charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Auditing management’s evaluation of the initial accounting for these transactions was challenging due to the complexity in
assessing the Company's analysis of the terms of the agreements to identify whether there were any embedded derivatives that
required separate identification and valuation under applicable accounting guidance.
How We Addressed the
Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the Company's controls over the
company's accounting for the transactions, including its controls over the evaluation of the existence of and accounting for the
embedded derivatives.
Our testing of the Company's initial accounting for the transactions, among other procedures, included inspecting the underlying
agreements and evaluating the Company's accounting analysis of the initial accounting for the transactions, including the
determination of the balance sheet classification of each transaction and identification of any derivatives included in the
arrangements. We also assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
Retirement Benefits – Valuation of Private Equity Investment
Description of the
Matter
As described in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements, at December 31, 2021 the Company’s U.S Plan holds $1,082
million in private equity investments. The private equity investments are valued primarily based on independent appraisals,
discounted cash flow models, cost and comparable market transactions. These investments are valued by the U.S. Plan using the net
asset value (NAV) per share expedient. For investments with lagged pricing, the Company uses the latest available net asset values,
and also considers expected return and other relevant material events for the year-end valuation of these investments.
Auditing the fair value of these private equity investments is challenging because of the higher estimation uncertainty associated
with the inputs to the underlying net asset values and estimated returns used in determining year-end valuations for investments
with lagged pricing. Additionally, certain information regarding the fair value of these private equity investments is based on
unaudited information available to management at the time of valuation.
How We Addressed the
Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the Company's controls over the
valuation of plan assets. This included testing management’s controls over private equity investment valuation, which included a
comparison of historical returns to benchmarks, a look-back analysis to identify if there were significant changes in the private
equity fund valuations subsequent to year-end values, inspecting responses to questionnaires sent to asset managers and evaluating
the fourth quarter returns of benchmark indices to assess whether the valuations of the U.S. Plan’s private equity investments with
lagged pricing should be adjusted.
Our audit procedures included, among others, comparing private equity investment returns to selected relevant benchmarks and
understanding variations, obtaining the latest audited financial statements and comparing to the Company's recorded values and
understanding any significant differences. We also inquired of management about changes to the investment portfolio and/or related
investment strategies and considerations. We assessed the historical accuracy of management's estimates by comparing actual
activity to previous estimates. We evaluated for contrary evidence by confirming the net asset values of the investments and
ownership interests directly with the trustees and a sample of managers at year end. We also assessed the appropriateness of the
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Eastman Kodak Company
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited Eastman Kodak Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control-
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), (the COSO criteria). In our
opinion, Eastman Kodak Company (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2021, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated
statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statement of operations, comprehensive income
(loss), equity (deficit) and cash flow for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and financial statement schedule for
each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021 listed in the Index at Item 15, and our report dated March 15, 2022 expressed an unqualified
opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the 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 audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary
in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
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 consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, equity (deficit) and cash flow of Eastman Kodak Company and its
subsidiaries (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2019, including the related notes and schedule of valuation and qualifying accounts for the year
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 results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2019 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
(not presented herein) 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 (not presented herein). The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
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 audit. 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 audit 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.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and

EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (“U.S. GAAP”). The following is a description of the significant accounting policies of Kodak.
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EKC and all companies directly or indirectly controlled by EKC, either through majority
ownership or otherwise. Kodak consolidates variable interest entities if Kodak has a controlling financial interest and is determined to be the primary beneficiary
of the entity.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period classification in the disaggregated revenue information for the
Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment and Brand segment in Note 17, “Revenue” and the classification of hedge funds included in the U.S. pension plan
table of assets in Note 19, “Retirement Plans”.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP accounting requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of commitments and contingencies at year end and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
FOREIGN CURRENCY
For most subsidiaries and branches outside the U.S., the local currency is the functional currency. The financial statements of these subsidiaries and branches are
translated into U.S. dollars as follows: assets and liabilities at year-end exchange rates; revenue, expenses and cash flows at average exchange rates; and
shareholders’ equity at historical exchange rates. For those subsidiaries for which the local currency is the functional currency, the resulting translation
adjustment is recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
For certain other subsidiaries and branches outside the U.S., operations are conducted primarily in U.S. dollars, which is therefore the functional
currency. Monetary assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries and branches, which are recorded in local currency, are remeasured at year-end exchange
rates, while the related revenue, expense, and gain and loss accounts, which are recorded in local currency, are remeasured at average exchange rates. Non-
monetary assets and liabilities, and the related revenue, expense, and gain and loss accounts, are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Adjustments that result
from the remeasurement of the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are included in Other (income) charges, net in the accompanying Consolidated
Statement of Operations.
The effects of foreign currency transactions, including related hedging activities, are included in Other (income) charges, net, in the accompanying Consolidated
Statement of Operations.
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.
65
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of 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 Other operating (income) expense, net in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations.
Kodak calculates depreciation expense using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives, which are as follows:
Buildings and building improvements
Land improvements
Leasehold improvements
Equipment
Tooling
Furniture and fixtures
Estimated Useful
Lives
5-40
4-20
3-20
3-20
1-3
5-10
Kodak depreciates leasehold improvements over the shorter of the lease term or the assets’ estimated useful life.
GOODWILL
Goodwill is not amortized but is required to be assessed for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that would
more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount.
When testing goodwill for impairment, Kodak may assess qualitative factors for some or all of its reporting units to determine whether it is more likely than not
(that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If Kodak determines
based on this qualitative test of impairment that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount or elects to bypass the
qualitative assessment for some or all of its reporting units, then a quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed. 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 6, “Other Current Liabilities”
and Note 7, “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, 2021 and 2020 was $20 million and $21 million, respectively, of which $18 million is reported in Other long-term assets in the
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position each year. The remaining $2 million and $3 million, respectively, is reported in Other current assets in the
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
66
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.
Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the obligation
to make lease payments arising from the operating 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 ROU assets are adjusted for prepayments and lease incentives. Variable lease payments are 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. Lease agreements may
include options to extend or terminate the lease at Kodak’s discretion, which are included in the determination of the lease term when they are reasonably certain
to be exercised.
Kodak’s lease agreements are primarily for real estate space and vehicles. Arrangements for goods and services are 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. 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. Renewal options and/or termination options are factored
into the determination of lease payments if considered probable.
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. Leases meeting the sales-type lease criteria with variable lease payments that do not
depend upon a reference rate or index are classified as operating leases if they would otherwise result in a day-one loss. 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.
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.
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.
67
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.
REVENUE
Kodak’s revenue transactions include sales of products (such as components and consumables for use in Kodak and other manufacturers’ equipment, film-based
products and specialty materials and chemicals), 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, 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, specialty materials and 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 generally have initial term of one year subject to
annual renewals and may be prepaid or paid over-time. 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 observable prices of the products or services when sold separately or by using expected cost-plus margin
when directly observable prices are not available. The Company reassesses its standalone selling prices at least annually.
For non-complex equipment installations and software sales (Prepress and PROSPER Components and Software) 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, 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 (Software). Perpetual licenses 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. The Company also sells SaaS arrangements with revenue recognized over
the contract term.
In service arrangements such as consulting 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) (Advanced Materials and Chemicals and Brand 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.
68
Real estate management revenue consists primarily of income from tenant leases, including rent and utilities, as well as facility management services and hosting
onsite events. 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 above).
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.
Incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract consist of sales commissions. Kodak expenses sales commissions when incurred if the amortization period would
be one year or less. Capitalized sales commissions are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract. These costs are recorded in Selling, general
and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Kodak accrues the estimated cost of post-sale obligations, including basic product
warranties, at the time of revenue recognition.
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, 2021, there was approximately
$70 million of unrecognized revenue from unsatisfied performance obligations. Approximately 30% of the revenue from unsatisfied performance obligations is
expected to be recognized in 2022, 25% in 2023, 15% in 2024 and 30% thereafter.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
R&D costs, which include costs incurred in connection with new product development, fundamental and exploratory research, process improvement, product use
technology and product accreditation, are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
ADVERTISING
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of
Operations. Advertising expenses amounted to $2 million for each of the years ended 2021 and 2020 and $5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
Amounts charged to customers and costs incurred by Kodak related to shipping and handling are included in net revenue and cost of revenues, respectively.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The carrying values of long-lived assets, other than goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable.
Long-lived assets are grouped 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). If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group is
less than the carrying value of the asset group a loss is recognized to the extent the carrying value of the asset group 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.
69
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, 2021 and
2020, refer to Note 17, “Income Taxes.”
The undistributed earnings of Kodak’s foreign subsidiaries are not considered permanently reinvested. Kodak has recognized a deferred tax liability (net of
related foreign tax credits) on the foreign subsidiaries’ undistributed earnings.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-05, “Leases (Topic 842): Lessors—
Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments”. Under this ASU, lessors should classify and account for a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend
on a reference index or a rate as an operating lease if both of the following criteria are met: (1) the lease would have been classified as a sales-type lease or a
direct financing lease in accordance with the classification criteria in Topic 842 and (2) the lessor would have otherwise recognized a day-one loss. The
amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within those fiscal years for all public business entities (January
1, 2022 for Kodak). Entities that have adopted Topic 842 before the issuance date of this update have the option to apply the amendments in this update either
(1) retrospectively to leases that commenced or were modified on or after the adoption of ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” or (2) prospectively to leases that
commence or are modified on or after the date that an entity first applies the amendments. Earlier application is permitted. Kodak adopted this ASU
prospectively on October 1, 2021. The adoption did not have an impact on Kodak’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20)” and “Derivatives and Hedging—
Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”, which simplifies
accounting for convertible instruments. More convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock
as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for
equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted EPS
calculation in certain circumstances. The ASU is effective January 1, 2024 for Kodak. Early adoption is permitted for all entities for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2020. The ASU allows entities to use either a modified retrospective or full retrospective transition method. Kodak adopted this ASU on January
1, 2021 using the modified retrospective method, under which companies apply the guidance to all financial instruments that are outstanding as of the beginning
of the year of adoption with the cumulative effect recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The adoption of this standard had no
impact on Kodak’s financial statements.
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, 2020 (January 1, 2021 for Kodak). Kodak adopted this ASU prospectively on January 1, 2021 and it did not have any impact on Kodak’s consolidated
financial statements.
70
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
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 ASUs 2018-19, 2019-04, 2019-05, 2019-10, 2019-11, 2020-02 and 2020-03) 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 ASU is effective for Kodak 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.

The Digital Printing segment has three goodwill reporting units: Electrophotographic Printing Solutions; Prosper and Versamark; and Software. The Advanced
Materials and Chemicals segment has two goodwill reporting units: Motion Picture and Industrial Films and Chemicals; and Advanced Materials and Functional
Printing. The Traditional Printing segment and Brand segment each have one goodwill reporting unit. As of December 31, 2021, goodwill is only recorded in
the Brand and Software reporting units.
Kodak performed interim tests of impairment for goodwill as of June 30, 2020 due to the uncertainty regarding the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
on its operations, and as of March 31, 2020, due to the decline in market capitalization as of that date since the last goodwill impairment test (December 31,
2019) and the uncertainty regarding the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at that time.
Based on the results of the June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 analyses, no impairment of goodwill was indicated. No interim impairment test for goodwill was
performed as of September 30, 2020. No interim impairment tests for goodwill were required to be performed for any interim periods in the years ended
December 31, 2021 or 2019.
Based upon the results of Kodak’s December 31, 2021 and 2020 annual impairment tests, no impairment of goodwill is indicated. As of December 31, 2021 and
2020 the Brand reporting unit had negative carrying values.

The annual and interim impairment tests of the Kodak trade name use the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty method.
Based upon the results of Kodak’s annual December 31, 2021 and 2020 impairment tests, no impairment of the Kodak trade name was indicated.
In the first quarter of 2020, due to the uncertainty regarding the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at that time, Kodak performed an interim test of
impairment for the Kodak trade name. Based on the result of the interim impairment test, Kodak concluded the carrying value of the Kodak trade name
exceeded its fair value. Pre-tax impairment charges of $3 million are included in Other operating (income) expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2020 in
the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Kodak also performed an interim test of impairment for the Kodak trade name as of June 30, 2020 due to the
uncertainty regarding the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the result of the interim impairment test as of June 30, 2020, Kodak concluded
the fair value of the Kodak trade name exceeded its’ carrying value resulting in no additional impairment. No interim impairment test for the Kodak tradename
was performed as of September 30, 2020. No interim impairment tests for the Kodak tradename were required to be performed for any interim periods in the
years ended December 31, 2021 or 2019.
In the fourth quarter of 2019, Kodak concluded the carrying value of the Kodak trade name exceeded its fair value. Pre-tax impairment charges of $4 million are
included in Other operating (income) expense, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $5 million for both the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and $7 million for the year ended
December 31, 2019.

Term Loan Credit Agreement
On February 26, 2021, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) with certain funds affiliated with Kennedy Lewis
Investment Management LLC (“KLIM”) as lenders (the “Term Loan Lenders”) and Alter Domus (US) LLC, as administrative agent. Pursuant to the Term Loan
Credit Agreement, the Term Loan Lenders provided the Company with (i) an initial term loan in the amount of $225 million, which was drawn in full on the
same date, and (ii) a commitment to provide delayed draw term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $50 million on or before February 26, 2023
(collectively, the “Term Loans”). Net proceeds from the Term Loan Credit Agreement were $215 million ($225 million aggregate principal less $10 million in
debt transaction costs). The Term Loans have a five-year maturity and are non-amortizing.
The Term Loans bear interest at a rate of 8.5% per annum payable quarterly in cash and 4.0% per annum Paid-In-Kind interest (“PIK”) or in cash, at the
Company’s option, for an aggregate interest rate of 12.5% per annum. The Company elected the 4.0% per annum in PIK which is added to the carrying value of
the debt through the term. Interest expense is recorded using the effective interest method.
75
The Term Loans are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), and are secured by (i) a first priority lien
on substantially all assets of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors (subject to certain exceptions) not constituting ABL Priority Collateral or L/C Cash
Collateral (see below for definitions of ABL Priority Collateral and L/C Cash Collateral), including 100% of the stock of material U.S. subsidiaries and 65% of
the stock of material foreign subsidiaries (the “Term Loan Priority Collateral”) and (ii) a third priority lien on the ABL Priority Collateral and L/C Cash
Collateral. The aggregate carrying value of the Term Loan Priority Collateral, ABL Priority Collateral and L/C Cash Collateral as of December 31, 2021 was
$2,328 million.
The Term Loan Credit Agreement limits, among other things, the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Term Loan Credit
Agreement) 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. The Term Loan Credit Agreement does not include a financial maintenance covenant or any subjective acceleration clauses. The Term Loan
Credit Agreement does contain customary affirmative covenants including delivery of certain of the Company’s financial statements and customary event of
default provisions, including a cross-default provision that would give rise to an event of default if there is a default under or acceleration of “Material
Indebtedness”. Material Indebtedness includes obligations having a principal amount of at least $25 million and obligations under the ABL Facility or Letter of
Credit Facility.
On an annual basis, the Company will prepay, within 10 business days following the filing of annual Form 10-K, outstanding Loans in an amount equal to Excess
Cash Flow (“ECF”) as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement provided no such prepayment is required if such prepayment would cause U.S. liquidity to be
less than $85 million. For the year ended December 31, 2021 ECF was a negative amount, therefore no prepayment is required in 2022.
Board Rights Agreement
On February 26, 2021, in connection with the execution of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Company entered into a letter agreement with KLIM (the
“Board Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Board Rights Agreement, the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) appointed an individual designated by
KLIM as a member of the Board effective April 1, 2021. The individual appointed was elected to serve a one-year term at the annual meeting on May 19,
2021. KLIM has the right to nominate one director at each annual or special meeting of the Company’s shareholders until the third anniversary of the execution
of the Board Rights Agreement or until KLIM ceases to hold at least 50% of the original principal amount of the Term Loans and commitments under the Term
Loan Credit Agreement, whichever is earlier.
Until KLIM ceases to hold at least 50% of the original principal amount of the Term Loans and commitments under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, at any
time that KLIM’s designated director is not serving on the Board, KLIM will have the right to designate a non-voting observer to the Board. Such observer will
have the right to attend meetings of the Board and, under certain circumstances, committees and subcommittees of the Board and to receive information and
materials made available to the Board, in each case, subject to certain restrictions and exceptions.
Securities Purchase Agreement
On February 26, 2021, the Company and the Term Loan Lenders (the “Buyers”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase
Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company sold to the Buyers (i) an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares (the “Purchased Shares”) of the Company’s common stock
(“Common Stock”) for a purchase price of $10.00 in cash per share for an aggregate purchase price of $10 million and (ii) $25 million aggregate principal
amount of the Company’s newly issued 5.0% unsecured convertible promissory notes due May 28, 2026 (the “2021 Convertible Notes”) in a private placement
transaction. The issuance and sale of the Purchased Shares and 2021 Convertible Notes were consummated on February 26, 2021.
2021 Convertible Notes
The 2021 Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.0% per annum, which will be payable in cash on the maturity date and in 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
2021 Convertible Notes and therefore is considered 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 2021 Convertible Notes is May 28, 2026.
76
Conversion Features
The Buyers will have the right to elect at any time to convert the 2021 Convertible Notes into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion rate equal to 100
shares of Common Stock per each $1,000 principal amount of the 2021 Convertible Notes (based on an initial conversion price equal to $10.00 per share of
Common Stock). The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments. If the closing price of the Common
Stock equals or exceeds $14.50 (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the conversion price) for 45 trading days within any period of 60 consecutive
trading days, the Company will have the right to cause the mandatory conversion of the 2021 Convertible Notes into shares of Common Stock.
In the event of certain fundamental transactions, the Buyers 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 require prepayment of the 2021 Convertible Notes at par plus accrued and unpaid interest or convert
all or a portion of the 2021 Convertible Notes into shares of Common Stock at the conversion rate then in effect plus any additional shares based on the price per
share of Common Stock in connection with the fundamental transaction, or to receive the shares of a successor entity, if any.
Embedded Derivatives
The 2021 Convertible Notes were considered more akin to a debt-type instrument and the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded conversion
features are not considered clearly and closely related to the 2021 Convertible Notes. Accordingly, these embedded features were bifurcated from the 2021
Convertible Notes and separately accounted for on a combined basis at fair value as a single derivative liability. Kodak allocated $12 million of the net proceeds
received to a derivative liability based on the aggregate fair value of the embedded features on the date of issuance which reduced the net carrying value of the
2021 Convertible Notes. The derivative is being accounted for at fair value with subsequent changes in the fair value being reported as part of Other (income)
charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The fair value of the Convertible Notes embedded derivative as of December 31, 2021 was a liability
of $4 million and is included in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Refer to Note 13, “Financial
Instruments” for information on the valuation of the derivative.
The carrying value of the 2021 Convertible Notes at December 31, 2021 and the time of issuance was $15 million and $13 million ($25 million aggregate gross
proceeds less $12 million allocated to the derivative liability), respectively. The estimated fair value of the 2021 Convertible Notes as of December 31, 2021 was
$18 million (Level 3). The carrying value is being accreted to the aggregate principal amount using the effective interest method from the date of issuance
through the maturity date.
Securities Registration Rights Agreement
On February 26, 2021, the Company and the Buyers entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Securities Registration Rights Agreement”) providing
the Buyers with registration rights in respect of the Purchased Shares and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the 2021 Convertible Notes. The
Securities Registration Rights Agreement contains other customary terms and conditions, including certain customary indemnification obligations; however, the
Securities Registration Rights Agreement does not obligate the Company to facilitate an underwritten offering of the registered Common Stock by the Buyers.
Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement
On September 3, 2013, the Company entered into an Asset Based Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Original ABL Credit Agreement”). On May 26, 2016, the
Company and the subsidiaries of the Company that are guarantors (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the
“ABL Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto, 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.
The ABL Credit Agreement provided that the Lenders 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.
On January 27, 2020 Kodak exercised its right under the ABL Credit Agreement to permanently reduce lender 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.
On March 27, 2020, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into Amendment No. 3 to the ABL Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) with the
lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), Bank of America, N.A., as administrative and collateral agent, and Bank of America, N.A. and each of the parties to the
ABL Credit Agreement as lenders.
77
Each of the capitalized but undefined terms used in the context of describing the ABL Credit Agreement and the Amendment has the meaning ascribed to such
term in the ABL Credit Agreement and the Amendment.
The Amendment decreased the available ABL Loans and letters of credit from an aggregate amount of up to $120 million to $110 million, subject to the
Borrowing Base. As a result of the additional reduction in lender commitments, the minimum Excess Availability decreased to $13.75 million from the previous
amount of $15 million.
The Amendment also changed Equipment Availability from (i) the lesser of 75% of Net Orderly Liquidation Value of Eligible Equipment or $6 million to (ii) the
lesser of 70% of Net Orderly Liquidation Value of Eligible Equipment or $14.75 million as of March 31, 2020. The $14.75 million amount decreases by $1
million per quarter starting on July 1, 2020 until maturity or the amount is decreased to $0, whichever comes first.
On February 26, 2021, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into a fourth amendment to the ABL Credit Agreement (as amended in 2021, the
“Amended ABL Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the lenders party thereto, Bank of America, N.A., as agent (the “Agent”),
and Bank of America, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as arrangers, with the Agent and the Required Lenders. Each of the capitalized and undefined
terms has the meaning ascribed to such term in the ABL Credit Agreement.
The Amended ABL Credit Agreement amends the ABL Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date to February 26, 2024 or the date
that is 90 days prior to the earliest scheduled maturity date or mandatory redemption date of any of the Company’s Term Loans, 2021 Convertible Notes, Series
B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or any refinancings of any of the foregoing and (ii) decrease the aggregate amount of commitments from $110
million to $90 million. Commitments under the Amended ABL Credit Agreement continue to be able to be used in the form of revolving loans or letters of
credit. The Company issued approximately $46 million letters of credit under the Amended ABL Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2021 and $90 million
letters of credit under the ABL Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2020.
The revolving loans bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 3.50%-4.00% per annum (subject to provisions providing for a replacement benchmark rate upon the
discontinuation of LIBOR) or a floating Base Rate (as defined in the Amended ABL Credit Agreement) plus 2.50%-3.00% per annum, based on Excess
Availability (as defined in the Amended ABL Credit Agreement). The Company will pay an unused line fee of 37.5-50 basis points per annum, depending on
whether the unused portion of the maximum amount available is less than or equal to 50% or greater than 50%, respectively. The Company will pay a letter of
credit fee of 3.50%-4.00% per annum, based on Excess Availability, on issued and outstanding letters of credit, in addition to a fronting fee of 25 basis points on
such letters of credit.
Obligations under the Amended ABL Credit Agreement continue to be secured by: (i) a first priority lien on assets of the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors constituting cash (other than L/C Cash Collateral, as defined below), accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment and certain other
assets (the “ABL Priority Collateral”) and (ii) a second priority lien on substantially all assets of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors (subject to certain
exceptions) other than the ABL Priority Collateral, including the L/C cash collateral and 100% of the stock of material U.S. subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of
material foreign subsidiaries.
The Amended ABL Credit Agreement continues to limit, among other things, the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the
Amended ABL Credit Agreement) to (i) incur indebtedness, (ii) incur or create liens, (iii) dispose of assets, (iv) make restricted payments and (v) make
investments. The Amended ABL Credit Agreement leaves in place customary affirmative covenants, including delivery of certain of the Company’s financial
statements set forth therein.
Under the Amended ABL Credit Agreement the Company is required to maintain Minimum Liquidity of at least $80 million, which is tested at the end of each
quarter. Minimum Liquidity was $250 million at December 31, 2021. If Minimum Liquidity falls below $80 million an Event of Default would occur. The
Agent would have the right to declare the obligation of each Lender to make Revolving Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit to be
terminated, and declare the Revolving Loans, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under the Amended ABL Credit Agreement to be due and
payable.
Under both the Amended ABL Credit Agreement and the ABL Credit Agreement the Company is required to maintain Excess Availability above 12.5% of
lender commitments ($11.25 million and $13.75 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively), which is tested at the end of each month. Excess
Availability was $27 million and $20 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
78
If Excess Availability falls below 12.5% of lender commitments a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Trigger Event would occur. During any Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio Trigger Event, the Company would be required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of greater than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0. 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, 2021 and 2020, Kodak was not
required to have a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.0 to 1.0.
The Amended ABL Credit Agreement removed Eligible Cash from the Borrowing Base. Therefore, amounts funded into the Eligible Cash account will no
longer increase Excess Availability for purposes of compliance reporting. As of December 31, 2020, to maintain Excess Availability of greater than 12.5% of
lender commitments, Kodak funded $35 million to the Eligible Cash account held with the ABL Credit Agreement Administrative Agent, which was classified
as Restricted Cash in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
If Excess Availability falls below 12.5% of lender commitments and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is less than 1.0 to 1.0, an Event of Default would occur
and the Agent has the right to declare the obligation of each Lender to make Revolving Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit to be
terminated, and declare the Revolving Loans, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under the Amended ABL Credit Agreement to be due and
payable.
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 Amended ABL Credit Agreement are secured by: i) a first priority lien on assets of the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors constituting cash (other than L/C Cash Collateral, as defined below), accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment and certain other
assets (the “ABL Priority Collateral”) and (ii) a second priority lien on substantially all assets of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors (subject to certain
exceptions) other than the ABL Priority Collateral, including 100% of the stock of material U.S. subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of material foreign
subsidiaries. Obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement were secured by: i) a first priority lien on assets of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors
constituting cash, accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment, 100% of the stock of material U.S. subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of material
foreign subsidiaries and certain other assets (the “ABL Collateral”). The aggregate carrying value of the ABL Collateral as of December 31, 2020 was $1,412
million
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 consolidated 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. In 2020 Kodak discontinued the operation of Kodakit Singapore Pte. Limited and sold Kodak LB Tech, LLC in
an intercompany transaction.
Under the Amended ABL Credit Agreement the Company designated three subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries: Kodak PE Tech, LLC, Kodak Realty, Inc,
and KP Services (Jersey) Ltd. Collectively, the Unrestricted Subsidiaries had sales of approximately $7 million, and $6 million for the years ended December 31,
2021 and 2020, respectively, which represented 1% of Kodak’s consolidated sales for both periods. These subsidiaries had assets of $13 million and $15 million
as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which represented 1% of Kodak’s consolidated assets as of such dates. For the year-ended December 31, 2019
the five original Unrestricted Subsidiaries had sales of approximately $12 million, which represented 1% of Kodak’s consolidated sales.
79
The Amended ABL Credit Agreement limits, among other things, the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ ability to (i) incur indebtedness, (ii) incur or
create liens, (iii) dispose of assets, (iv) make restricted payments (including dividend payments, et al.) and (v) make investments. In addition to other customary
affirmative covenants, the Amended ABL Credit Agreement provides for a periodic delivery by the Company of its various financial statements as set forth in
the Amended ABL Credit Agreement.
Events of default under the ABL Credit Agreement include, among others, failure to pay any principal, interest or other amount due under the applicable
agreement, breach of specific covenants and a change of control of the Company. Upon an event of default, the lenders may declare the outstanding obligations
under the Amended ABL Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable and exercise other rights and remedies provided for in the agreement.
Letter of Credit Facility Agreement
On February 26, 2021, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into a Letter of Credit Facility Agreement (the “L/C Facility Agreement”, and
together with the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the Amended ABL Credit Agreement the “Credit Agreements”) among the Company, the Subsidiary
Guarantors, the lenders party thereto (the “L/C Lenders”), Bank of America, N.A., as agent, and Bank of America, N.A., as issuing bank. Pursuant to the L/C
Facility Agreement, the L/C Lenders committed to issue letters of credit on the Company’s behalf in an aggregate amount of up to $50 million, provided that the
Company posts cash collateral in an amount greater than or equal to 103% of the aggregate amount of letters of credit issued and outstanding at any given time
(the “L/C Cash Collateral”).
The term of the L/C Facility Agreement is three years, subject to the same automatic springing maturity as the Amended ABL Credit Agreement. The Company
issued approximately $44 million letters of credit under the L/C Facility Agreement as of December 31, 2021. The balance on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral
account as of December 31, 2021 is approximately $45 million, of which $14 million was deposited into the L/C Cash Collateral account from proceeds of the
financing transactions described herein and the remainder of which was cash collateral previously used to secure letters of credit under the ABL Credit
Agreement. The L/C Facility Agreement has the same requirement to maintain Minimum Liquidity of $80 million as is contained in the Amended ABL Credit
Agreement.
The Company will pay an unused line fee of 37.5-50 basis points per annum, depending on whether the unused portion of the maximum commitments is less
than or equal to 50% or greater than 50% of such commitments, respectively. The Company will pay a letter of credit fee of 3.75% per annum on issued and
outstanding letters of credit, in addition to a fronting fee of 25 basis points on such letters of credit. Amounts drawn under any letter of credit will be reimbursed
from the L/C Cash Collateral. If not so reimbursed, and not otherwise repaid by the Company to the applicable L/C Lenders, such amounts will accrue interest, to
be paid monthly, at a floating Base Rate (as defined in the L/C Facility Agreement) plus 2.75% per annum until repaid.
As with the Amended ABL Credit Agreement and the ABL Credit Agreement, the L/C Facility Agreement also requires the Company to maintain Excess
Availability above 12.5% of lender commitments. If Excess Availability falls below 12.5% of lender commitments a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Trigger Event
would occur under the L/C Facility Agreement as well as the Amended ABL Credit Agreement and the ABL Credit Agreement. During any Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio Trigger Event, the Company would be required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of greater than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0.
The Company’s obligations under the L/C Facility Agreement are guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors and are secured by (i) a first priority lien on the L/C
Cash Collateral, (ii) a second priority lien on the ABL Priority Collateral and (iii) a third priority lien on the Term Loan Priority Collateral.
RED-Rochester, LLC
In January 2019 Kodak entered into a series of agreements with RED-Rochester, LLC (“RED”), which provides utilities to 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.

2019 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 “2019 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 2019 Convertible Notes due 2021.
The transaction closed on May 24, 2019. The proceeds were used to repay the remaining first lien term loans outstanding ($83 million) under the Company’s
term credit agreement, which was terminated with the repayment. The remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes. The maturity date of the
2019 Convertible Notes was November 1, 2021.
The 2019 Convertible Notes interest rate was 5.00% per annum, payable in cash on their maturity date (PIK interest) and, at the option of the Company, in either
cash or additional shares of Common Stock on any conversion date. Therefore, PIK was added to the carrying value of the debt through the term and interest
expense was recorded using the effective interest method.
On July 29, 2020, the Company received conversion notices from holders of the 2019 Convertible Notes exercising their rights to convert an aggregate of $95
million of principal amount of the 2019 Convertible Notes (the “Initial Converted Notes”) into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share
(“Common Stock”). Under the terms of the 2019 Convertible Notes, the conversion date of the Initial Converted Notes was July 29, 2020 (the “Initial
Conversion Date”) and the Company was obligated to deliver an aggregate of 29,922,956 shares of Common Stock (the “Initial Conversion Shares”) to the
holders of the Initial Converted Notes within five trading days after the Initial Conversion Date. The Company issued the Initial Conversion Shares on August 3,
2020 and paid the $5.6 million of accumulated interest on the Initial Converted Notes in cash. As a result, the Company’s obligations under the Initial Converted
Notes were fully discharged and the remaining outstanding principal amount of the 2019 Convertible Notes was $5 million.
On September 30, 2020, the Company announced its election to mandatorily convert the remaining $5 million outstanding principal amount of the 2019
Convertible Notes (the “Mandatory Converted Notes”) into shares of Common Stock. The conversion of the Mandatory Converted Notes was effective on
September 30, 2020 (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”). The Company issued 1,574,892 shares of Common Stock to the holder of the Mandatory Converted
Notes on September 30, 2020 (the “Mandatory Conversion Shares”). The Company paid the accrued interest on the Mandatory Converted Notes in the form of
cash and interest ceased to accrue on the Mandatory Converted Notes on the Mandatory Conversion Date. As a result of the conversion of all the 2019
Convertible Notes, the lien granted by the Company on certain of its assets to secure the 2019 Convertible Notes was released.
Embedded Derivatives
The 2019 Convertible Notes were 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 2019 Convertible Notes. Accordingly, these
embedded features were bifurcated from the 2019 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 2019 Convertible Notes. The derivative was being accounted for at fair value with
subsequent changes in the fair value being reported as part of Other (income) charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations (refer to Note 13,
“Financial Instruments”).
The carrying value of the 2019 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), was being accreted to the face amount using the effective interest method from the date of issuance
through the maturity date.

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 “Series A 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 “Series A Purchasers”), dated November 7, 2016. The Company received
net proceeds of $198 million after issuance costs.
The Company classified the Series A Preferred Stock as temporary equity in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Redemption Features
If any shares of Series A Preferred Stock had not been converted prior to the fifth anniversary of the initial issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, the
Company would have been 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 was considered more akin to a debt-type instrument, the redemption feature was 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.
Repurchase and Exchange Agreement
On February 26, 2021 the Company entered into a Series A Preferred Stock Repurchase and Exchange Agreement (the “Repurchase and Exchange Agreement”)
with Southeastern and the Purchasers. The Company repurchased one million shares of the Series A Preferred Stock under the terms of the Repurchase and
Exchange Agreement for $100,641,667, representing the liquidation value of the Series A Preferred Stock plus accrued and unpaid dividends. In addition, the
Company and the Purchasers agreed to exchange the remaining one million shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by the Purchasers for shares of the
Company’s newly created 4.0% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) on a one-for-one basis plus accrued and
unpaid dividends of $641,667. The exchange of shares of Series A Preferred Stock for shares of Series B Preferred Stock is a noncash financing activity.
Embedded Conversion Features
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock was 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 elected 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 would have been adjusted
under certain circumstances and such holder would also have been entitled to a payment in respect of accumulated dividends. If a holder elected 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 could
have elected to have the conversion rate adjusted. In addition, the Company had 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 would have been adjusted under certain circumstances. If shares of Series A
Preferred Stock were not converted in connection with a reorganization event, such shares would have become convertible into the exchanged property from the
reorganization event.
The Company had 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 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.
82
Kodak allocated $43 million of the net proceeds from the issuance of the Series A Stock to a derivative liability based on the aggregate fair value of the
embedded conversion features on the date of issuance, which reduced the net carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock (see Note 13, “Financial
Instruments”). 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), was 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.
Extinguishment of Series A Preferred Stock
The carrying value, including the fair value of the embedded derivative liability, of the Series A Preferred Stock prior to extinguishment approximated $203
million. Upon repurchase and exchange of the Series A Preferred Stock, Kodak recorded $8 million as a deemed dividend to Additional paid in capital in the
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, representing the difference between the fair value of consideration transferred and the carrying value of the Series
A Preferred Stock.
Dividend and Other Rights
The holders of Series A Preferred Stock were 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. After the second quarter of 2019, quarterly cash dividends were declared each quarter and were paid when due. In
July 2020, the Company declared and paid the four quarterly dividends that were in arrears. The total amount of dividends in arrears was $11 million.
Series B Preferred Stock
The fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock at the time of issuance approximated $95 million. The Company has classified the Series B Preferred Stock as
temporary equity in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Dividend and Other Rights
On February 25, 2021, 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 “Series B Certificate of Designations”) which established the designation, number of shares, rights,
preferences and limitations of the Series B Preferred Stock which became effective upon filing. The Series B Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Common Stock
and pari passu with the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution. The Series B Preferred
Stock has a liquidation preference of $100 per share, and the holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends payable quarterly in cash at
a rate of 4.0% per annum. If dividends on any Series B Preferred Stock are in arrears for six or more consecutive or non-consecutive dividend periods, the
holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to nominate one director at the next annual shareholder meeting and all subsequent shareholder meetings
until all accumulated dividends on such Series B Preferred Stock have been paid or set aside. Dividends owed on the Series B Preferred Stock have been
declared and paid when due. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock will have certain limited special approval rights, including with respect to the issuance of pari
passu or senior equity securities of the Company.
Conversion Features
Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of each holder at any time, into shares of Common Stock at the initial conversion rate of
9.5238 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series B Preferred Stock (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $10.50 per share of Common Stock). The
initial conversion rate and the corresponding conversion price will be subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments. If a holder elects to convert any
shares of Series B Preferred Stock during a specified period in connection with a fundamental change (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designations),
such holder can elect to have the conversion rate adjusted and can elect to receive a cash payment in lieu of shares for a portion of the shares. Such holder will
also be entitled to a payment in respect of accumulated dividends. In addition, the Company will have the right to require holders to convert any shares of Series
B Preferred Stock in connection with certain reorganization events in which case the conversion rate will be adjusted, subject to certain limitations.
The Company will have the right to cause the mandatory conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial
issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock if the closing price of the Common Stock has equaled or exceeded $14.50 (subject to adjustment in the same manner as
the conversion price) for 45 trading days within a period of 60 consecutive trading days.
83
Embedded Conversion Features
The Company concluded that the Series B Preferred Stock was more akin to a debt-type instrument and that the economic characteristics and risks of the
conversion option upon a fundamental change by the holder was not considered clearly and closely related to the Series B Preferred Stock. Accordingly, this
embedded conversion feature was bifurcated from the Series B Preferred Stock and is being separately accounted for as a derivative. The Company allocated $1
million to the derivative liability based on the aggregate fair value of the embedded conversion feature on the date of issuance which reduced the original
carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock.
The derivative is being accounted for at fair value with subsequent changes in the fair value being reported as part of Other (income) charges, net in the
Consolidated Statement of Operations. The fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock embedded derivative as of December 31, 2021 was a liability of $1 million
and is included in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Refer to Note 13, “Financial Instruments” for
information on the valuation of the derivative.
The carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock at the time of issuance, $93 million ($95 million fair value of Series B Preferred Stock on February 26, 2021
less $1 million allocated to the derivative liability and $1 million of 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, May 28, 2026.
Redemption Features
If any shares of Series B Preferred Stock have not been converted prior to May 28, 2026 (the “Redemption Date”), 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 B 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 B Preferred Stock.
Series C Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement
On February 26, 2021, the Company and GO EK Ventures IV, LLC (the “Investor”) entered into a Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase
Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Investor, and the Investor agreed to purchase from the Company, an aggregate of 1,000,000
shares of the Company’s newly created 5.0% Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), for a purchase price
of $100 per share, representing $100 million of gross proceeds to the Company. The initial issuance and sale of 750,000 shares ($75 million gross proceeds)
closed on February 26, 2021. The final issuance and sale of the remaining 250,000 shares ($25 million gross proceeds) closed on March 30, 2021 after
expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act. The Investor is a fund managed by Grand Oaks Capital. The
Company intends to use the proceeds from the sale of the Series C Preferred Stock for general corporate purposes including the funding of growth initiatives.
The Company has classified the Series C Preferred Stock as temporary equity in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Dividend and Other Rights
On February 25, 2021, 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 “Series C Certificate of Designations”) which established the designation, number of shares, rights,
preferences and limitations of the Series C Preferred Stock and became effective upon filing. The Series C Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Common Stock
and pari passu with the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution. The Series C Preferred
Stock has an initial liquidation preference of $100 per share, and holders of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends payable quarterly “in-
kind” in the form of additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a rate of 5.0% per annum. If dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock are not declared and
paid for any given fiscal quarter, the liquidation preference is automatically increased by the amount of such unpaid dividends. Holders of the Series C Preferred
Stock will also be entitled to participate in any dividends paid on the Common Stock (other than stock dividends) on an as-converted basis, with such dividends
on any shares of the Series C Preferred Stock being payable upon conversion of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock to Common Stock. Dividends owed on
the Series C Preferred Stock have been declared and additional Series C shares issued when due.
Holders of Series C 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 C Preferred Stock have certain limited special approval rights, including with respect to
the issuance of pari passu or senior equity securities of the Company.
84
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Investor has the right to nominate one director at each annual or special meeting of the Company’s shareholders until
the earlier of the third anniversary of the execution of the Purchase Agreement and such time as the Investor and its Affiliates (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement) do not hold at least a majority of the Series C Preferred Stock purchased under the Purchase Agreement. The Investor’s nominee pursuant to this
right was elected at the Company’s annual meeting held on May 19, 2021 to serve a one-year term.
Conversion Features
Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of each holder at any time, into shares of Common Stock at the initial conversion price of $10
per share of Common Stock. The initial conversion price and the corresponding conversion rate will be subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments and
to proportional increase in the event the liquidation preference of the Series C Preferred Stock is automatically increased as described above. If a holder elects to
convert any shares of Series C Preferred Stock during a specified period in connection with a fundamental change (as defined in the Series C Certificate of
Designations), such holder can elect to have the conversion rate adjusted and can elect to receive a cash payment in lieu of shares for a portion of the shares of
Common Stock. Such holder will also be entitled to a payment in respect of accumulated dividends and a payment based on the present value of all required
remaining dividend payments through May 28, 2026, the mandatory redemption date. Such additional payments will be payable at the Company’s option in cash
or in additional shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Company will have the right to require holders to convert any shares of Series C Preferred Stock in
connection with certain reorganization events in which case the conversion rate will be adjusted, subject to certain limitations.
The Company will have the right to cause the mandatory conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock (i) at any time after February
26, 2023 if the closing price of the Common Stock has equaled or exceeded 200% of the then-effective conversion price for 45 trading days within a period of 60
consecutive trading days, or (ii) at any time after February 26, 2024 if the closing price of the Common Stock has equaled or exceeded 150% of the then-
effective conversion price for 45 trading days within a period of 60 consecutive trading days.
Embedded Conversion Features
The Company concluded that the Series C Preferred Stock is more akin to a debt-type instrument and that the economic characteristics and risks of the
conversion option upon a fundamental change by the holder is not considered clearly and closely related to the Series C Preferred Stock. Accordingly, this
embedded conversion feature was bifurcated from the Series C Preferred Stock and separately accounted for as a derivative. The Company allocated $2 million
of the net proceeds received to the derivative liability based on the aggregate fair value of the embedded conversion features on the dates of issuance which
reduced the original carrying value of the Series C Preferred Stock. The derivative is being accounted for at fair value with subsequent changes in the fair value
being reported as part of Other (income) charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The fair value of the Series C Preferred Stock derivative as of
December 31, 2021 was a liability of $2 million and is included in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial
Position. Refer to Note 13, “Financial Instruments” for information on the valuation of the derivative.
The carrying value of the Series C Preferred Stock at the time of issuance, $97 million ($100 million aggregate gross proceeds less $2 million allocated to the
derivative liability and $1 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.
Redemption Features
If any shares of Series C Preferred Stock have not been converted prior to the Redemption Date, the Company is required to redeem such shares at $100 per
share plus the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends thereon; provided that the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock have the right to extend such
redemption date by up to two years. As the Company concluded that the Series C Preferred Stock is 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 C Preferred Stock.
Series C Registration Rights Agreement
On February 26, 2021, the Company and the Investor entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Series C Registration Rights Agreement”) which
provides the Investor with customary registration rights in respect of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock. The
Series C Registration Rights Agreement contains other customary terms and conditions, including certain customary indemnification obligations.

NOTE 11: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Asset Retirement Obligations
Kodak’s asset retirement obligations primarily relate to asbestos contained in buildings that Kodak owns. In many of the countries in which Kodak operates,
environmental regulations exist that require Kodak to handle and dispose of asbestos in a special manner if a building undergoes major renovations or is
demolished. Otherwise, Kodak is not required to remove the asbestos from its buildings. Kodak records a liability equal to the estimated fair value of its
obligation to perform asset retirement activities related to the asbestos, computed using an expected present value technique, when sufficient information exists
to calculate the fair value. Kodak does not have a liability recorded related to every building that contains asbestos because Kodak cannot estimate the fair value
of its obligation for certain buildings due to a lack of sufficient information about the range of time over which the obligation may be settled through demolition,
renovation or sale of the building.

Other Commitments and Contingencies
As of December 31, 2021 the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $46 million and $44 million issued under the Amended ABL Credit Agreement and
the L/C Facility Agreement, respectively, as well as bank guarantees and letters of credit of $2 million, surety bonds in the amount of $28 million, and restricted
cash of $61 million, primarily related to cash collateral for the outstanding letters of credit under the L/C Facility 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 is recorded in Current assets and Restricted cash 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 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, 2021, Kodak’s Brazilian Operations maintained accruals of approximately $2 million for claims aggregating approximately $114
million inclusive of interest and penalties where appropriate and 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 $4 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, 2021,
Kodak has posted security composed of $3 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 $39 million. Generally, any encumbrances on the Brazilian assets would be removed to the
extent the matter is resolved in Kodak's favor.
On July 28, 2020, the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (the “DFC”) announced (the “DFC Announcement”) the signing of a non-binding
letter of interest to provide a subsidiary of the Company with a potential $765 million loan (the “DFC Loan”) to support the launch of Kodak Pharmaceuticals, an
initiative that would manufacture pharmaceutical ingredients for essential generic drugs (the “DFC Pharmaceutical Project”).
On August 13, 2020 Tiandong Tang commenced a class action lawsuit against the Company, its Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and its Chief
Financial Officer in Federal District Court in the District of New Jersey, and on August 26, 2020 Jimmie A. McAdams and Judy P. McAdams commenced a class
action lawsuit against the Company and its Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in Federal District Court in the Southern District of New York
(collectively, the “Securities Class Actions”). The Securities Class Actions seek damages and other relief based on alleged violations of federal securities laws in
the context of the DFC Announcement of the potential DFC Loan and DFC Pharmaceutical Project. The Securities Class Actions were transferred to the Federal
District Court for the Western District of New York and were consolidated into a single proceeding (the “Consolidated Securities Class Action”) on June 22,
2021. Les Investissements Kiz Inc. and UAT Trading Service, Inc. were appointed by the court to serve as lead plaintiff for the Consolidated Securities Class
Action on August 2, 2021, and the lead plaintiff filed an amended consolidated complaint on October 1, 2021 which added Kodak’s General Counsel and current
and former members of its Board of Directors as additional defendants. The Company and individual defendants filed motions to dismiss the Consolidated
Securities Class Action on December 14, 2021, and the lead plaintiff filed an opposition to the motions to dismiss on February 28, 2022. The Company intends
to continue to vigorously defend itself against the Consolidated Securities Class Action.
89
On December 29, 2020 Robert Garfield commenced a class action lawsuit against the Company and current and former members of its Board of Directors in the
Superior Court of Mercer County, New Jersey seeking equitable relief and damages in favor of the Company based on alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by the
Company’s Board of Directors associated with alleged false and misleading proxy statement disclosures (including the successor New York lawsuit discussed
below, the “Fiduciary Class Action”). The Company and each of the individual defendants filed motions to dismiss the Fiduciary Class Action on April 13,
2021. The plaintiff in the Fiduciary Class Action voluntarily dismissed the Fiduciary Class Action without prejudice on May 26, 2021 and filed a lawsuit
substantially similar to the dismissed New Jersey lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in Monroe County on October 27, 2021, this time on
behalf of a purported class of beneficial and record owners of stock of the Company as of March 26, 2020 who continue to own such stock through the
present. The Company and individual defendants filed motions to dismiss the Fiduciary Class Action on January 19, 2022. The Company intends to continue to
vigorously defend itself against the Fiduciary Class Action.
The Company has also received five requests under New Jersey law demanding, among other things, that the Company take certain actions in response to alleged
breaches of fiduciary duty relating to option grants and securities transactions in the context of the DFC Announcement and alleged proxy statement disclosure
deficiencies (the “Derivative Demands”). On May 19, 2021 Louis Peters, one of the persons making a Derivative Demand (“Peters”), commenced a derivative
lawsuit on behalf of the Company against certain officers and current and former directors of the Company and the Company as a nominal defendant in the
Supreme Court of the State of New York in Monroe County seeking damages and equitable relief based on alleged breaches of fiduciary duty and unjust
enrichment resulting from stock trades, option grants and a charitable contribution in the context of the DFC Announcement of the potential DFC Loan and DFC
Pharmaceutical Project (the “State Derivative Lawsuit”). The plaintiff filed an amended complaint in the State Derivative Lawsuit on August 23, 2021, and the
Company and individual defendants filed motions to dismiss (or alternatively, in the case of the Company, a motion for summary judgment) in the State
Derivative Lawsuit on October 22, 2021. The parties have agreed to stay the State Derivative Lawsuit pending the resolution of the Federal Derivative Lawsuit
described below, which stay is subject to Court approval.
On September 2, 2021 Herbert Silverberg, another person making a Derivative Demand (“Silverberg”), commenced a derivative lawsuit on behalf of the
Company against one current and one former director of the Company and the Company as a nominal defendant in the Federal District Court for the Western
District of New York seeking damages and equitable relief on a basis overlapping with the State Derivative Lawsuit and alleged proxy statement
misrepresentations and omissions. On October 4, 2021 Peters commenced a derivative lawsuit on behalf of the Company against the same parties named in the
State Derivative Lawsuit in the Federal District Court for the Western District of New York seeking damages and equitable relief on a basis overlapping with the
State Derivative Lawsuit and alleged violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act. The Federal derivative lawsuits filed by Silverberg and Peters were
consolidated into a single proceeding (the “Federal Derivative Lawsuit”) on January 18, 2022, and Peters was appointed as lead plaintiff in the Federal
Derivative Lawsuit. An amended consolidated complaint combining the allegations contained in the Federal derivative lawsuits filed by Silverberg and Peters
was filed in the Federal Derivative Lawsuit on February 16, 2022.
Additional shareholder derivative lawsuits may be brought based on the other Derivative Demands (any such lawsuits, collectively with the State Derivative
Lawsuit, the Federal Derivative Lawsuit and the Fiduciary Class Action, the “Fiduciary Matters”). The Company, acting through a Special Committee of
Independent Directors, previously determined that there was no merit to the claims alleged by the Derivative Demands made through the time of its
determination (except with respect to the charitable contribution, which was not fully considered by the Special Committee). See the Company’s Current Report
on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 16, 2020. The Company, acting through a separate Special Litigation Committee of Independent Directors,
concurred with the first Special Committee’s findings and further concluded it is not in the Company’s interest to bring or allow any other shareholder to assert
any of the claims alleged by the State Derivative Lawsuit or Federal Derivative Lawsuit (with the exception of the Peters claim purportedly arising under Section
10(b) of the Exchange Act, which was not addressed as no demand was made with respect to such claim). The second Special Litigation Committee will
carefully review any other additional complaints constituting Fiduciary Matters which may be filed.
The DFC Announcement has also prompted investigations by several congressional committees, the SEC and the New York Attorney General’s office. The
Company has cooperated in those investigations.
As previously reported, the Attorney General of the State of New York (the “NYAG”) has threatened to file a lawsuit against the Company and its Chief
Executive Officer alleging violations of New York State’s Martin Act (the “Threatened Claim”). In connection with the Threatened Claim, on June 15, 2021 the
Supreme Court of the State of New York in New York County issued an order providing for additional document production by the Company to the NYAG and
the taking by the NYAG of investigative testimony of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel.
90
The Company has completed its document production and its officers provided the testimony as contemplated by such order on October 8, 2021 and October 1,
2021, respectively. The Company is in preliminary discussions with the NYAG regarding a potential resolution of the Threatened Claim; however, there can be
no assurance that those discussions will lead to a resolution. If the Threatened Claim is not resolved and is ultimately brought by the NYAG, the Company
intends to vigorously defend itself against the Threatened Claim.
In addition, 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. These matters are in various stages of investigation and litigation and
are being vigorously defended. Based on information currently available, Kodak does not believe that it is probable that the outcomes in any of these matters,
individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and
judgments could be rendered or settlements entered that could adversely affect Kodak’s operating results or cash flows in a particular period. Kodak routinely
assesses all of its litigation and threatened litigation as to the probability of ultimately incurring a liability and records its best estimate of the ultimate loss in
situations where it assesses the likelihood of loss as probable.
NOTE 12: GUARANTEES
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, 2021 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:
(in millions)
Deferred revenue on extended warranties as of December 31, 2019

NOTE 13: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Kodak, as a result of its global operating and financing activities, is exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, which may
adversely affect its results of operations and financial position. Kodak manages such exposures, in part, with derivative financial instruments. Foreign currency
forward contracts are used to mitigate currency risk related to foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, as well as forecasted foreign currency
denominated intercompany assets.
Kodak’s exposure to changes in interest rates results from its investing and borrowing activities used to meet its liquidity needs. Kodak does not utilize financial
instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
Kodak’s foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedges and are marked to market through net earnings (loss) at the same time that the exposed
assets and liabilities are re-measured through net earnings (loss) (both in Other (income) charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations). The notional
amount of such contracts open at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $322 million and $361 million, respectively. The majority of the contracts of
this type held by Kodak at December 31, 2021 and 2020 were denominated in euros, Chinese renminbi and Japanese yen. 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, 2021 and 2020. 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, 2021 was not significant to Kodak.
In the event of a default under the Company’s Credit Agreements, or a default under any derivative contract or similar obligation of Kodak, subject to certain
minimum thresholds, the derivative counterparties would have the right, although not the obligation, to require immediate settlement of some or all open
derivative contracts at their then-current fair value, but with liability positions netted against asset positions with the same counterparty.
As discussed in Note 8, “Debt and Finance Leases”, the Company concluded that the 2021 Convertible Notes are more akin to a debt-type instrument and that
the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded conversion features are not considered clearly and closely related to the 2021 Convertible Notes. The
embedded conversion features not considered clearly and closely related are the conversion at the option of the holder (“Optional Conversion”), the mandatory
conversion by Kodak (“Mandatory Conversion”) and the conversion in the event of a fundamental transaction by the holder at the then applicable conversion rate
(“Fundamental Change”). Accordingly, these embedded conversion features were bifurcated from the 2021 Convertible Notes and separately accounted for on a
combined basis as a single derivative asset or liability. The derivative was in a liability position at December 31, 2021 and was 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 included in Other
(income) charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
As discussed in Note 9, “Redeemable, Convertible, Preferred Stock”, the Company concluded that the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock
are more akin to a debt-type instrument and that the economic characteristics and risks of the conversion in the event of a Fundamental Change is not considered
clearly and closely related to the Series B and Series C Preferred Stock. Accordingly, this embedded conversion feature was bifurcated from both the Series B
and Series C Preferred Stock and are separately accounted for as a derivative asset or liability. Both derivatives were in a liability position at December 31, 2021
and were reported in Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The derivatives are being accounted for at fair value with
changes in fair value included in Other (income) charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The Company concluded that the Series A Preferred Stock was 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.
92
The embedded conversion features not considered clearly and closely related were 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
(“Fundamental Change or Reorganization Conversion”). 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. The embedded conversion features were revalued as of February 26,
2021 when the Company repurchased one million shares of Series A Preferred Stock and exchanged the remaining one million shares of Series A Preferred
Stock for Series B Preferred Stock. The revaluation as of February 26, 2021 resulted in the recognition of $2 million of net expense which was included in Other
(income) charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. With the repurchase and exchange of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock the embedded
conversion features derivative liability expired.
The derivative was in a liability position at December 31, 2020 and was reported in Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial
Position. The derivative was being accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value included in Other (income) charges, net in the Consolidated Statement
of Operations.
As discussed in Note 8, “Debt and Finance Leases”, the Company concluded that the 2019 Convertible Notes were 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 2019
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. Accordingly, these embedded conversion features and the term
extension option were bifurcated from the 2019 Convertible Notes and separately accounted for on a combined basis as a single derivative asset or liability. The
embedded conversion features and term extension option were revalued as of August 3, 2020, when the Initial Conversion Shares were issued, resulting in the
recognition of $407 million of expense for a pro-rata portion of the embedded conversion features and term extension option. The remaining embedded
conversion features and term extension option were revalued again as of the Mandatory Conversion date, resulting in the recognition of $9 million of net
expense. With the conversion of the 2019 Convertible Notes in the third quarter of 2020, the embedded conversion features and term extension option
expired. The derivative was being accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value reported in Other (income) charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations.
Fair Value
Fair values of Kodak’s foreign currency forward contracts are determined using observable inputs (Level 2 fair value measurements) and are based on the present
value of expected future cash flows (an income approach valuation technique) considering the risks involved and using discount rates appropriate for the duration
of the contracts. The gross fair value of foreign currency forward contracts in an asset position are reported in Other current assets in the Consolidated Statement
of Financial Position and the gross fair value of foreign currency contracts in a liability position are reported in Other current liabilities. The gross fair value of
foreign currency forward contracts in an asset position as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $0 million and $1 million, respectively. The gross fair value of the
foreign currency forward contracts in a liability position as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $0 million in both periods.
The fair value of the embedded conversion features derivatives was calculated using unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair measurements). The value of the
embedded derivatives associated with the 2021 Convertible Notes and Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock was calculated using a binomial lattice
model.
Except for the fair value determined at the time of conversion, the fair value of the embedded conversion features and term extension option for the 2019
Convertible Notes derivatives was calculated using unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair measurements). The value of the Optional Conversion feature associated
with the 2019 Convertible Notes was calculated using a binomial lattice model. The value of the term extension option reflected the probability weighted
average value of the 2019 Convertible Notes using the original maturity date and a hypothetical extended maturity date, with all other contractual terms
unchanged. The fair value of the embedded conversion features and term extension option for the 2019 Convertible Notes were revalued as of the conversion
dates, August 3, 2020 and September 30, 2020. The fair value of the embedded derivative at each conversion date was calculated based on the fair value of the
shares issued less the fair value of debt. The fair value of shares issued is based on the weighted average stock price at the time of day the shares were transferred
for August 3, 2020, and the closing stock price as of September 30, 2020. The fair value of debt is based on pricing models based on the value of related cash
flows discounted at current market interest rates.

(1) The closing stock price was used for the September 30, 2020 valuation. The weighted average stock price based on the time of day
the shares were transferred was used for the August 3, 2020 valuation.
The Fundamental Change Conversion values at issuance were calculated as the difference between the total value of the 2021 Convertible Notes, Series B or
Series C Preferred Stock, as applicable, and the sum of the net present value of the cash flows if the 2021 Convertible Notes are repaid at their maturity or the
Series B and Series C Preferred Stock is redeemed on its redemption date and the values of the other embedded derivatives. The Fundamental Change
Conversion value reduces the value of the embedded conversion features derivative liability. Other than events which alter the likelihood of a fundamental
change, the value of the Fundamental Change Conversion reflects the value as of the issuance date, amortized for the passage of time.
The calculation of the Fundamental Change and Reorganization Conversion values for the 2019 Convertible Notes and Series A Preferred Stock was the same as
the calculation described above for the Fundamental Change Conversion values for the 2021 Convertible Notes and Series B and C Preferred Stock.
The fair values of long-term borrowings were $269 million and $17 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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.
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, 2021.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and the current portion of long-term borrowings approximate their fair values.

As of December 31, 2021, Kodak had available domestic and foreign NOL carry-forwards for income tax purposes of approximately $2,058 million, of which
approximately $866 million have an indefinite carry-forward period. The remaining $1,192 million expire between the years 2022 and 2038. As of
December 31, 2021, Kodak had unused foreign tax credits and investment tax credits of $358 million and $33 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 $20 million and $22 million for potential taxes on the undistributed earnings, including foreign withholding taxes, as of
December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Kodak’s valuation allowance as of December 31, 2021 was $934 million. Of this amount, $360 million was attributable to Kodak’s net deferred tax
assets outside the U.S. of $351 million, and $574 million related to Kodak’s net deferred tax assets in the U.S. of $554 million, for which Kodak
believes it is not more likely than not that the assets will be realized.
102
Kodak’s valuation allowance as of December 31, 2020 was $1,112 million. Of this amount, $374 million was attributable to Kodak’s net deferred tax
assets outside the U.S. of $364 million, and $738 million related to Kodak’s net deferred tax assets in the U.S. of $717 million, for which Kodak
believes it is not more likely than not that the assets will be realized.
As of March 31, 2020, Kodak determined that it was more likely than not that deferred tax assets outside the U.S. which were not offset with valuation
allowances as of March 31, 2020 would not be realized due to reductions in estimates of future profitability as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in locations
outside the U.S. Accordingly, Kodak recorded a provision of $167 million associated with the establishment of a valuation allowance on those deferred tax
assets.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

Kodak’s policy regarding interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters is to recognize such items as a component of provision for income taxes. Kodak
had approximately $11 million and $14 million of interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax benefits accrued as of December 31, 2021 and 2020,
respectively.
Kodak had uncertain tax benefits of approximately $15 million and $22 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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. 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 2021 Kodak agreed to terms with a taxing authority outside the U.S. and settled open tax audits for years through 2014. For these years Kodak originally
recorded liabilities for unrecognized tax positions (“UTPs”) totaling $3 million (plus interest of approximately $4 million) which were substantially offset by
prepaid assets.
During 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 resulted in an increase in net deferred tax assets and was fully offset
by a corresponding increase in Kodak’s U.S. valuation allowance, resulting in no net tax benefit.
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 UTPs
totaling $3 million (plus interest of approximately $3 million). Kodak paid $2 million in 2019 as result of this settlement and paid the remaining $4 million in
April 2020.

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 income tax matters for years through 2017 and state income tax matters for years through 2015 with the respective tax
authorities. With respect to countries outside the U.S., Kodak has substantially concluded all material foreign income tax matters through 2013 with respective
foreign tax jurisdiction authorities.
NOTE 18: RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER
Kodak recognizes the need to continually rationalize its workforce and streamline its operations in the face of ongoing business and economic changes. Charges
for restructuring initiatives are recorded in the period in which Kodak commits to a formalized restructuring plan, or executes the specific actions contemplated
by the plan and all criteria for liability recognition under the applicable accounting guidance have been met.
The activity incurred in relation to restructuring programs during the three years ended December 31, 2021 were as follows (in millions):

(1) The severance and exit costs reserves require the outlay of cash. Any long-lived asset impairments and inventory write-downs would represent non-cash
items.
(2) The $2 million in 2021 and the $3 million in both 2020 and 2019 represented severance charges funded from pension plan assets, which were reclassified to
Pension and other postretirement liabilities.
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.
104
2020 Activity
Restructuring actions taken in 2020 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 and other administrative functions.
As a result of these actions, for the year ended December 31, 2020 Kodak recorded $17 million of charges which were reported as Restructuring costs and other
in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The 2020 severance costs related to the elimination of approximately 250 positions, including approximately 160 administrative and 90 manufacturing/service
positions. The geographic composition of these positions included approximately 140 in the U.S. and Canada and 110 throughout the rest of the world.
2021 Activity
Restructuring actions taken in 2021 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 and other administrative functions.
As a result of these actions, for the year ended December 31, 2021 Kodak recorded $6 million of charges which were reported as Restructuring costs and other in
the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The 2021 severance costs related to the elimination of approximately 130 positions, including approximately 70 administrative and 60 manufacturing/service
positions. The geographic composition of these positions included approximately 70 in the U.S. and Canada and 60 throughout the rest of the world.
As a result of these initiatives, the majority of the severance liabilities as of December 31, 2021 will be paid during periods through the end of the second quarter
of 2022. The exit cost reserves primarily relate to a liability for which timing of the payment is uncertain.
NOTE 19: RETIREMENT PLANS
Substantially all U.S. employees are covered by a noncontributory defined benefit plan, the Kodak Retirement Income Plan (“KRIP”), which is funded by
Company contributions to an irrevocable trust fund. The funding policy for KRIP is to contribute amounts sufficient to meet minimum funding requirements as
determined by employee benefit and tax laws plus any additional amounts the Company determines to be appropriate. Assets in the trust fund are held for the
sole benefit of participating employees and retirees.
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 a specified percentage of their pay, plus interest based on the 30-year Treasury bond rate. The crediting rates are currently either 9% or 10% of
pay based on employee classification.
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 information for the U.S. for all years
presented relates to KRIP. The composition of the major Non-U.S. plans may vary from year to year. If the major Non-U.S. plan composition changes, prior
year data is conformed to ensure comparability.

An actuarial gain of $86 million for the U.S. was recognized in 2021 driven by an increase in the discount rate ($105 million), partially offset by losses due to
changes in mortality and other demographic assumptions. In 2020, an actuarial loss of $299 million was recognized for the U.S. Plan driven primarily by a
decrease in the discount rate ($276 million). The Non-U.S. actuarial loss recognized in 2021 was driven primarily by changes in inflation and other demographic
assumptions partially offset by an increase in discount rates, whereas the loss in 2020 was driven primarily by changes in discount rates.
The U.S. recognized a gain on plan assets for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 of $716 million and $495 million, respectively. The gain for 2021
reflects higher expected returns for the U.S. private equity and hedge fund portfolios, and the gain for 2020 reflects strong stock and bond market performance as
well as realized gains recorded from derivative investments held by the U.S. The total net realized (losses) gains from these derivative investments for 2021 and
2020 was approximately ($23) million and $159 million, respectively. Refer to discussion below on derivative instruments for further information.
The settlement amount of $121 million for the U.S. for the year ended December 31, 2020 represents lump sum payments from KRIP.

The $2 million curtailment gain for the year ended December 31, 2019 was incurred as a result of the sale of FPD. In addition, the amounts shown in Other
Plans for the year ended December 31, 2019 include $5 million of settlement gains due to the transfer of non-major, non-U.S. pension liabilities as a result of the
sale of FPD. These amounts are included in Earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The $9 million settlement loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 was incurred as a result of lump sum payments from KRIP.
The special termination benefits for each of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were incurred as a result of Kodak's restructuring actions and,
therefore, have been included in Restructuring costs and other in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for those periods.

The expected return on plan assets (“EROA”) is a long-term rate of return which is based on a combination of formal asset and liability studies that include
forward-looking return expectations given the current asset allocation.
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.
Plan Asset Investment Strategy
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, debt, real estate, private equity, hedge funds and other assets and
instruments. In addition, the U.S. Plan uses derivative investments primarily to hedge liability interest rate risk to U.S. government bonds. Other investment
objectives include maintaining broad diversification between and within asset classes, investment 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.
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, individual fund and single investment manager. As
of December 31, 2021 there were no significant concentrations (defined as greater than 10% of plan assets) of risk in Kodak’s defined benefit plan assets. As of
December 31, 2020, there was an investment manager of a hedge fund and a fund included in the global balanced asset allocations funds asset class that managed
12% of U.S. Plan Assets.

Derivative Investments
The U.S. defined benefit pension plan derivative instruments consist of direct investments in exchange traded futures contracts. Government bond exposure is
obtained via U.S. government bond futures. Foreign currency futures contracts are used to partially hedge foreign currency risk.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the notional amount for exchange traded futures contracts approximated $1.0 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively. Realized
gains and losses from these derivative investments are included in the gain on plan assets balance. The total fair value of these derivative instruments at
December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $10 million and ($4) million, respectively, which represents the unrealized gains and losses on these contracts and is included
in the derivative line items in the table of plan assets below. The U.S. defined benefit pension plan is required to maintain cash on deposit to collateralize its
obligations under its futures contracts. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, approximately $ 17 million and $40 million in cash, respectively, was on deposit to
fulfill these requirements and is included in the cash and cash equivalents asset class in the table below.
The U.S. Plan invests in a diversified portfolio of hedge funds that may utilize derivative instruments to execute their investment strategy. Any gains or losses, as
well as changes in the fair value of derivative investments held by the hedge fund are included in the hedge fund’s net asset value.

Fair Value Measurements
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 (“NAV”) 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.
The fair value of Kodak’s U.S. defined benefit pension plan assets at December 31, 2021 and 2020 by asset class are presented in the tables below:

Real estate investments primarily include investments in limited partnerships that invest in office, industrial, retail and apartment properties. Investments are
primarily valued by the fund manager based on independent appraisals, discounted cash flow models, cost and comparable market transactions. The term of each
fund is typically 10 or more years and the fund’s investors do not have an option to redeem their interest in the fund but receive distributions through the
liquidation of the underlying investments.
The Global Balanced Asset Allocation Fund investments are commingled funds that hold a diversified portfolio of passive market exposures, including equities,
debt, currencies and commodities that uses an equal risk parity allocation strategy. These investments are primarily valued by the fund manager based on a
market or income valuation methodology depending on the specific type of security or instrument held.
Private equity investments are primarily comprised of direct limited partnerships and fund-of-fund investments that invest in distressed investments, venture
capital, leveraged buyouts and special situations. Private equity investments are valued by the fund manager primarily based on independent appraisals,
discounted cash flow models, cost, and comparable market transactions. The term of each fund is typically 10 or more years and the fund’s investors do not have
an option to redeem their interest in the fund. The investors in the fund receive distributions through the liquidation of the underlying investments in the fund.

The U.S. Plan invests in a portfolio of hedge funds to supplement the return generated by its exchange traded futures contracts as well as in a separate portfolio
of hedge funds where the objective is to seek a higher absolute return. Hedge fund investments are made through direct investments in individual hedge
funds. The hedge fund investments substantially consist of a diversified portfolio of hedge funds that use equity, debt, commodity, currency strategies and
derivative instruments. The U.S. defined benefit pension plan evaluates several factors for investing in hedge funds including investment strategy, return, risk,
liquidity, correlation to other funds and the number of funds to achieve a diversified portfolio of hedge funds.
Hedge funds are typically valued by each fund’s third-party fund administrator based upon the valuation of the underlying securities and instruments, primarily
by applying a market or income valuation methodology as appropriate depending on the specific type of security or instrument held. The U.S. defined benefit
pension plan maintains cash liquidity reserves that serve as variation margin for the U. S. Treasury futures contracts directly held by the U. S. Plan to hedge it’s
liability duration. Approximately $87 million and $89 million of cash liquidity reserves associated with hedge funds as of December 31, 2021 and 2020,
respectively, are included in the cash and cash equivalents asset class in the table above.

Hedge funds typically have the right to restrict redemption requests beyond Kodak’s control. In these cases, redemptions may extend beyond the general
redemption terms outlined in the table above. Certain hedge fund investments have no redemption rights and will become liquid only upon sale by the hedge
fund managers. As of both December 31, 2021 and 2020, these investments represented approximately 5% of the hedge funds investments valued at NAV.
Liquidity
Approximately 27% of total U.S. defined benefit pension plan assets as of December 31, 2021 are invested in real estate funds, private equity funds and other
investments where the Company receives distributions through the liquidation of the underlying investments. Liquidity of U.S. defined benefit pension plan
assets is managed to minimize the likelihood that these investments would need to be sold to cover benefit payments, derivative losses, or any other short-term
need.
The total unfunded commitments, if and when they are called over the term of each investment, are expected to be funded by the available liquidity in the U.S.
defined benefit pension plan consistent with historical experience.

NOTE 21: EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are calculated using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share
calculations include any dilutive effect of potential common shares. In periods with a net loss from continuing operations, diluted earnings per share are
calculated using weighted-average basic shares for that period, as utilizing diluted shares would be anti-dilutive to loss per share.
A reconciliation of the amounts used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 follows (in
millions):

The computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2021 excluded the impact of (1) the assumed conversion of $25 million of 2021
Convertible Notes, (2) the assumed conversion of 1.0 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock, (3) the assumed conversion of 1.0 million shares of Series C
Preferred Stock, (4) the assumed exercise of 2.9 million outstanding employee stock options because they would have been anti-dilutive.
As a result of the loss from continuing operations available to common shareholders for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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, 2020 and 2019, the calculation of diluted earnings per share would have included the assumed conversion of 0.6 million
unvested restricted stock units for both periods and 0.7 million stock options for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The computation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 excluded the impact of (1) the assumed conversion of 2.0 million
shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and (2) the assumed conversion of 4.0 million and 6.8 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 2019 Convertible Notes because the effects would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 22: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Kodak’s stock incentive plan is the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”). The 2013 Plan is administered by the Compensation, Nominating and
Governance Committee of the Board of Directors.
Officers, directors and employees of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are eligible to receive awards. Stock options are generally non-qualified, are
at exercise prices equal to or greater than the closing price of Kodak’s stock on the date of grant and expire seven years after the grant date. Stock-based
compensation awards granted under Kodak’s stock incentive plan are generally subject to a three-year vesting period from the date of grant, or a later date as
determined by the Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee. Awards are subject to settlement in newly-issued shares of common stock. Unless
sooner terminated by the Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee, no awards may be granted under the 2013 Plan after May 20, 2030.
The maximum number of shares of common stock available for grant under the 2013 Plan is 13.0 million. For stock option grants awarded on or prior to May
19, 2021, for the number of shares available for grant under the 2013 Plan, a stock option counted as a fraction of a share, based on the fair market value of the
stock option relative to the closing stock price on the date of grant. For stock option awards granted after May 19, 2021, a stock option counts as one
share. Each restricted stock unit and restricted stock award counts as one share. The total number of shares of common stock registered for issuance under the
2013 Plan is approximately 13.5 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 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 $450,000, 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 Restricted Stock awards
Restricted stock units and restricted stock awards 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 and restricted stock awards was $5 million, $1 million
and $2 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The weighted average grant date fair value of restricted stock units and awards granted for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $8.50, $2.91
and $2.93, respectively. The total fair value of restricted stock units and awards that vested was $6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and $2 million
for both the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. As of December 31, 2021, there was $4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted
stock units. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.6 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.
On February 26, 2021 James V. Continenza, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kodak, and the Company entered into an Executive Chairman
and CEO Agreement (the “New Employment Agreement”). The New Employment Agreement is effective for a three-year period beginning on February 26,
2021. Pursuant to the New Employment Agreement, Mr. Continenza will not have the right to exercise any stock options granted to him in February 2019 or
July 2020 to the extent that, after giving effect to the issuance of the Company’s common stock resulting from such exercise, Mr. Continenza (together with his
affiliates and any person acting as a group), would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the
“Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). The Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall cease and be of no further force and effect upon a Change of Control (as such
term is defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan). The restrictions on the exercisability of previous stock option awards
are a modification of the original awards.
As the February 2019 and July 2020 stock options were fully vested prior to the modification date and there was no incremental value provided in the
modification, no additional compensation expense was recognized. Also pursuant to the New Employment Agreement, Mr. Continenza was granted 200,000
fully vested restricted stock units. The Company recognized $2 million of stock-based compensation expense associated with the grant of restricted stock units.
The Company issued stock-based compensation grants for 2.4 million stock options on July 27, 2020. The terms of 1.8 million of the options awarded on July
27, 2020 provided for immediate vesting or vesting upon conversion of the 2019 Convertible Notes. As 100% of the 2019 Convertible Notes were converted
during the three months ended September 30, 2020, the 1.8 million options with accelerated vesting terms vested in that same period. The remaining 0.6 million
options provide for vesting terms of between two and three years.
The valuation of the stock options granted on July 27, 2020 resulted in approximately $12.6 million of compensation expense being reported in Selling, general
and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the year ended December 31, 2021.
There were less than 1 million options exercised in the year ended December 31, 2021, approximately 2.0 million options exercised in the year ended
December 31, 2020 and no options exercised in the year ended December 31, 2019. The options exercised in 2020 included 0.3 million options exercised by ex-
employees of Kodak that had previously been forfeited. The Company issued shares to the ex-employees in exchange for proceeds based on the exercise prices
of the forfeited options. The Company is accounting for the exercise of the forfeited options as a modification of the original awards.
The Company recovered $3.6 million during the three months ended December 31, 2020 from certain of the ex-employees and received a $2.0 million refund of
withholding taxes on behalf of those ex-employees in the year ended December 31, 2021.
122
The Company recognized compensation expense of approximately $5.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 related to the 0.3 million
previously forfeited options, representing the fair value of the shares issued to the ex-employees less the exercise proceeds received from the ex-
employees. Stock compensation expense, reported in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, was reduced by
$4.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2020, representing the cash received for certain of the erroneous grants and the refund of withholding taxes
due on behalf of the ex-employees. Income recognized in excess of the original stock compensation expense recorded for each individual grant (approximately
$1.0 million) was recognized in Other operating (income) expense, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $5.86 and $1.73, respectively. There were
no options granted in the year ended December 31, 2021. The total fair value of options that vested during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019
was $2 million, $13 million and $7 million, respectively. Compensation cost related to stock options for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was
$2 million, $14 million and $5 million, respectively.
As of December 31, 2021, there was $1.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options. The cost is expected to be recognized over a
weighted average period of 1.2 years.
Other than for the awards granted on July 27, 2020, Kodak utilizes the Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the fair value of stock options.
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 the historical volatility of the Company’s stock to estimate expected volatility. The
risk-free rate was based on the yield on U.S. Treasury notes with a term equal to the option’s expected term.
The following inputs were used for the valuation of option grants issued in each year (there were no stock option grants issued in the year ended December 31,
2021):
Weighted-average fair value of options granted
Weighted-average risk-free interest rate
Expected option lives

Given the volatility of the Company’s stock price in the third quarter of 2020, the Company utilized a lattice-based valuation model to value the time-based

of the 2019 Convertible Notes.

Segment Measure of Profit and Loss
Kodak’s segment measure of profit and loss is an adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Operational EBITDA”). As
demonstrated in the table below, Operational EBITDA represents the earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes excluding non-service cost
components of pension and other postemployment benefits income; depreciation and amortization expense; restructuring costs; stock-based compensation
expense; consulting and other costs; idle costs; the former CEO separation agreement compensation; other operating income, net (unless otherwise indicated);
interest expense; loss on early extinguishment of debt and other income (charges), net.
Kodak’s segments are measured using Operational EBITDA both before and after allocation of corporate selling, general and administrative expenses
(“SG&A”). The segment earnings measure reported is after allocation of corporate SG&A as this most closely aligns with U.S. GAAP. Research and
development activities not directly related to the other segments are reported within the Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment.

$6 million of income from the transition services agreement with the Purchaser was recognized in both the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. No
income was recognized in the year ended December 31, 2021. The income was reported in Other operating (income) expense, net in the Consolidated
Statement of Operations. Other operating (income) expense, net is typically excluded from the segment measure. However, the income from the transition
services agreement was included in the segment measure.
(4) As reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Kodak decreased workers’ compensation reserves by approximately $4 million in 2021 driven by changes in discount rates. The decrease in reserves in 2021
impacted gross profit by approximately $3 million and SG&A by approximately $1 million.
Kodak increased employee benefit reserves by approximately $4 million in 2020 reflecting an increase in workers’ compensation reserves ($7 million) partially
offset by a decrease in postemployment benefit reserves ($3 million). The increase in reserves in 2020 impacted gross profit and SG&A each by approximately
$2 million.
In 2019 workers’ compensation reserves increased by approximately $3 million. The increase in reserves in 2019 impacted gross profit by approximately $2
million and SG&A by approximately $1 million.

NOTE 27: RELATED PARTY
Kodak’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer serves on the board of a company that purchased $3 million of products in 2019. At December 31,
2021, the company owed Kodak $0 million.
NOTE 28: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Flexographic Packaging segment
Discontinued operations of Kodak include the former Flexographic Packaging segment comprised of Kodak’s Flexographic Packaging Business (“FPD”).
128
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). None of the EBITDA targets were achieved.
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
had the option to satisfy its payment obligations to Kodak through a reduction of the prepayment balance or in cash. As of December 31, 2021, the remaining
prepayment balance was $0 million.
The results of operations of FPD are classified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. 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.
The results of operations of the Business for the year ended December 31, 2019 are presented below:

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 Executive Officer and Kodak’s Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Kodak’s management, with participation of Kodak’s Executive
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Kodak’s 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 Executive Officer and Kodak’s 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, 2021. 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, 2021. The effectiveness of Kodak’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 has been audited by Ernst &
Young LLP, Kodak’s independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, refer to Item 8. Financial Statement and Supplementary Data.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change identified in Kodak’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during Kodak’s fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Kodak’s internal control over financial reporting.

shares issuable upon vesting of outstanding restricted stock units and restricted stock awards under the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated
2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which do not have an exercise price.
(2) For the purposes of the number of shares available under the Plan, each stock option awarded prior to May 20, 2021 counts as a fraction of a share,
based on the financial value of the stock option relative to a share.

restatement of the Plan on May 20, 2020, and the subsequent amendment of the Plan on May 19, 2021. The shares originally covered by the 2013
Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Original Plan”) were previously reported as not approved by shareholders because the Original Plan had been approved
by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization.
