Eastman Kodak Announces Issuance of $100 million 5.00% Secured Convertible Notes to Clients of Southeastern Asset Management

Proceeds to be used to repay the outstanding first lien term loans in
full

ROCHESTER, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:KODK) today announced that it has entered
into an agreement for the issue and sale of $100 million aggregate
principal amount of its 5.00% Secured Convertible Notes due 2021 (the
“Convertible Notes”) to funds managed by Southeastern Asset Management,
Inc., an employee-owned, global investment management firm
(“Southeastern”).

Kodak intends to use the net proceeds of the issuance and sale of the
Convertible Notes to prepay in full its outstanding first lien term
loans, and the remainder for general corporate purposes. To facilitate
the Convertible Notes issuance, Kodak expects to enter into an amendment
to its asset based revolving credit facility to permit the incurrence of
the Convertible Notes.

“Over the last few months, the Company has worked diligently to improve
its capital structure. This refinancing is a major milestone for the
Company and supplements the proceeds from the recent packaging sale to
completely repay the Company’s first lien term debt of approximately
$395 million,” said James Continenza, Kodak’s Executive Chairman. “It
improves the Company’s balance sheet, provides additional capital and
lowers debt service costs, which will support the realignment of our
business and our emphasis on meeting our customer needs.”

The transaction has been approved by a special committee of Kodak’s
board of directors comprised of independent directors who are not
affiliated with Southeastern and by Kodak’s board of directors.

The transaction is expected to close during the second quarter of 2019.
The closing conditions in the purchase agreement include entry by the
shareholders who are not affiliated with Southeastern holding a majority
of the outstanding shares of common stock into support agreements
pursuant to which such shareholders agree to execute a written consent
approving the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the conversion feature
of the Convertible Notes and the issuance of the shares of common stock
issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, and related matters.

Summary of Key Terms

The Convertible Notes will be issued in an aggregate principal amount of
$100 million. The maturity date of the Convertible Notes will initially
be November 1, 2021, which may be extended at Kodak’s option by up to
three years in the event that the Series A preferred stock is refinanced
with debt or equity or the mandatory redemption date of the Series A
preferred stock is extended. The Convertible Notes will accrue interest
at a rate of 5.00% per annum, payable to holders on conversion (as to
the portion of the outstanding balance being converted) and on maturity.

At any time while the Convertible Notes are outstanding, the holders may
convert the Convertible Notes to shares of common stock at a conversion
rate equal to 314.9785 shares of common stock per each $1,000 principal
amount of Convertible Notes (based on a conversion price equal to
$3.17482 per share of common stock (the “Conversion Price”), which
represents a 10% premium to the volume weighted average price of the
shares of common stock for the five day trading period ended on April 9,
2019) (the “Conversion Rate”). On an as-converted basis, the Convertible
Notes will represent approximately 31,497,850 shares of Common Stock, or
42.28% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to
the issuance and conversion. The Conversion Rate and Conversion Price
will be subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments.

Kodak may elect to convert all outstanding Convertible Notes to shares
of common stock at the Conversion Price in the event that its shares of
common stock trade at or above 150% of the Conversion Price for 45
trading days in any period of 60 consecutive trading days.

Kodak may also elect to repay all outstanding Convertible Notes at par
plus accrued and unpaid interest during a specified period following
certain fundamental transactions.

The rights of the holders to convert the Convertible Notes into shares
of common stock will not be effective until the Company has obtained
approval of the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the conversion
feature of the Convertible Notes and the issuance of the shares of
common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, from the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock not
beneficially owned by Southeastern.

The Convertible Notes will be guaranteed by certain domestic
subsidiaries of Kodak (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and will be secured
by a second priority lien on certain receivables, inventory and other
assets of Kodak and the Subsidiary Guarantors, in which the lenders
under Kodak’s asset based revolving credit facility have a first
priority security interest.
