EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY AND ITS U.S. SUBSIDIARIES COMMENCE VOLUNTARY
CHAPTER 11 BUSINESS REORGANIZATION
Flow of Goods and Services to Customers to Continue Globally in Ordinary Course
Non-U.S. Subsidiaries Are Not Included in U.S. Filing and Are Not Subject
to Court Supervision
Company Secures $950 million in Debtor-in-Possession Financing in U.S.
Kodak's Reorganization to Facilitate Emergence as Profitable and Sustainable Enterprise
ROCHESTER, NY, January 19, 2012 - Eastman Kodak Company ("Kodak" or the "Company") announced today that it and its U.S. subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for chapter 11 business reorganization in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.
The business reorganization is intended to bolster liquidity in the U.S. and abroad, monetize non-strategic intellectual property, fairly resolve legacy liabilities, and enable the Company to focus on its most valuable business lines. The Company has made pioneering investments in digital and materials deposition technologies in recent years, generating approximately 75% of its revenue from digital businesses in 2011.
Kodak has obtained a fully-committed, $950 million debtor-in-possession credit facility with an 18-month maturity from Citigroup to enhance liquidity and working capital. The credit facility is subject to Court approval and other conditions precedent. The Company believes that it has sufficient liquidity to operate its business during chapter 11, and to continue the flow of goods and services to its customers in the ordinary course.
Kodak expects to pay employee wages and benefits and continue customer programs. Subsidiaries outside of the U.S. are not subject to proceedings and will honor all obligations to suppliers, whenever incurred. Kodak and its U.S. subsidiaries will honor all post-petition obligations to suppliers in the ordinary course.
"Kodak is taking a significant step toward enabling our enterprise to complete its transformation," said Antonio M. Perez, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "At the same time as we have created our digital business, we have also already effectively exited certain traditional operations, closing 13 manufacturing plants and 130 processing labs, and reducing our workforce by 47,000 since 2003. Now we must complete the transformation by further addressing our cost structure and effectively monetizing non-core IP assets. We look forward to working with our stakeholders to emerge a lean, world-class, digital imaging and materials science company."
"After considering the advantages of chapter 11 at this time, the Board of Directors and the entire senior management team unanimously believe that this is a necessary step and the right thing to do for the future of Kodak," Mr. Perez continued. "Our goal is to maximize value for stakeholders, including our employees, retirees, creditors, and pension trustees. We are also committed to working with our valued customers.
"Chapter 11 gives us the best opportunities to maximize the value in two critical parts of our technology portfolio: our digital capture patents, which are essential for a wide range of mobile and other consumer electronic devices that capture digital images and have generated over $3 billion of licensing revenues since 2003; and our breakthrough printing and deposition technologies, which give Kodak a competitive advantage in our growing digital businesses."
Mr. Perez concluded, "The Board of Directors, the senior management team and I would like to underscore our appreciation for the hard work and loyalty of our employees. Kodak exemplifies a culture of collaboration and innovation. Our employees embody that culture and are essential to our future success."
Kodak has taken this step after preliminary discussions with key constituencies and intends to work toward a consensual reorganization in the best interests of its stakeholders. Kodak expects to complete its U.S.-based restructuring during 2013.
The Company and its Board of Directors are being advised by Lazard, FTI Consulting Inc. and Sullivan & Cromwell LLP. In addition, Dominic DiNapoli, Vice Chairman of FTI Consulting, will serve as Chief Restructuring Officer to support the management team as to restructuring matters during the chapter 11 case.
More information about Kodak's Chapter 11 filing is available on the Internet at www.kodaktransforms.com. Information for suppliers and vendors is available at (800) 544-7009 or (585) 724-6100.
Kodak will be filing monthly operating reports with the Bankruptcy Court and also plans to post these monthly operating reports on the Investor Relations section of Kodak.com. The Company will continue to file quarterly and annual reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will also be available in the Investor Relations section of Kodak.com.

New Products Coming from Kodak:
Pro Photo Papers with More Colors, More Versatility.
Through the introduction of KODAK PROFESSIONAL ENDURA Premier Papers, Eastman Kodak Company is, once again, demonstrating its commitment to photographic paper. These innovative, color negative papers (CNP), which use a new, cyan dispersion and emulsion technology, developed by Kodak, are due to a technological breakthrough that addresses key industry needs.
ENDURA Premier Papers offer:
- A larger color gamut for stronger, bright colors with vibrant greens, blues, yellows and cyans.*
- Natural-looking flesh tones from highlights to shadows.
- Maintained or improved D-Min that is lighter in density for cleaner-looking whites.*
- Higher or maintained D-Max capability for bold, rich blacks and better contrast.**
- Text that is clean and sharp.
- Improved workflow agility gives pro photo labs improved post-process finishing. It's ideal for both commercial applications and portrait/social uses.*
- And all while maintaining a robust and economical processing performance for both digital and optical exposing devices.
These papers are also significant because they elevate the performance of Kodak's award-winning ENDURA Paper portfolio, the gold standard for image quality in the professional imaging industry.
ENDURA Premier Papers will replace KODAK PROFESSIONAL ENDURA SUPRA VC Digital Paper, KODAK PROFESSIONAL ENDURA Metallic VC Digital Paper and KODAK PROFESSIONAL ULTRA ENDURA Paper. They are scheduled to be available in early 2012. Therefore, each pro lab is strongly urged to review its current and 2011 year-end inventory needs for SUPRA VC, Metallic VC and ULTRA ENDURA Papers.

The density of ink is
determined by its pigment type and concentration. The higher the
pigment concentration the lower you can set the ink percentage in
profiles. Low ink percentage means using less ink which is of
course more cost effective. Bordeaux's
PRMS
The use of Roland VS
metallic silver & white ink with Bordeaux's chemically
compatible PENR and PRMS Eco and Mild Solvent Inks (C,M,Y,K,Lc,Lm),
offers Roland customers a truly unique solution, adding more impact
and creative options to printing and graphics. For best possible
results and to generate rich metallic effects, Bordeaux strongly
recommends you to choose Layered print mode to print metallic
silver ink first, and then Bordeaux's inks with one
pass. 
There has been some
great coverage of inkjet inks and Bordeaux in the press lately.
Here are a few of the highlights:
19 iulie 2011 - Kodak castiga inca un proces in batalia cu Apple
International Trade Commission din U.S.A. a anuntat ieri ca a respins ca nefondata actiunea pe care Apple a introdus-o impotriva companiei Eastman Kodak
Apple s-a indreptat impotriva Kodak anul trecut, declarand ca aceasta din urma a utilizat, fara a avea aprobare, doua tehnologii aflata in proprietatea Apple.
Pe langa acest proces, care a ajuns la final, pe rolul instantelor americane exista o plangere inaintata in Ianuarie 2010 de catre Kodak impotriva Apple si R.I.M. producatorul telefoanelor Blackberry, prin care Kodak sustine ca cele doua companii folosesc in procesul de productie al telefoanelor iPhone si Blackberry, fara a avea aprobarea proprietarului, o tehnologie care permite vizualizarea imaginilor captate.
