ROCHESTER, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Board of Directors of Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE: KODK) (“the

as the company’s new Executive Chairman, effective immediately.
Continenza, who has served as Chairman of Kodak’s Board of Directors
since 2013, will continue as Board Chairman while also assuming the
responsibilities of Jeffrey J. Clarke, who is stepping down after nearly
five years as Chief Executive Officer.

In his role as Board Chairman, Continenza, 56, has led the Company’s
efforts to improve its capital structure, execute strategic M&A
transactions and drive investment in growth engines. He brings robust
experience and a proven track record guiding several leading, innovative
technology companies through transformations.

Continenza said: “I am thrilled to build upon our Board’s strategic
vision and become an integral part of day-to-day operations as the
Company continues to execute on its previously announced initiatives.
Importantly, I look forward to helping Kodak build long-term value for
shareholders as we continue to deleverage our balance sheet, increase
operational efficiencies, and maximize the potential of our key growth
drivers. I’d like to thank Jeff for his strong leadership and I’m
optimistic about the future of Kodak given our team, our assets and the
opportunities ahead.”

Kodak’s leadership team and Board will continue to focus on the
Company’s current strategic initiatives, including:

• executing on the sale of the Flexographic Packaging Division (FPD), a
  business that has demonstrated high growth;
• completing efficiency actions expected to result in $40 million of
  annualized savings and improved liquidity;
• driving Kodak’s key growth areas of SONORA Process-Free Plates,
  enterprise inkjet, workflow software and brand licensing, while
  continuing to maximize value in print systems, film and advanced
  materials; and
• commitment to growth in Motion Picture film, having seen 32 Oscar
  nominations for films shot on film in 2019.

Former CEO Jeffrey J. Clarke added: “It was a privilege to lead Kodak
during a time of transition and am pleased to leave the Company in a
position of strength after the execution of the agreement to sell our
Flexographic Packaging Division. The Board and I mutually agreed that
now is the time to hand the reins to new leadership, and I am confident
that Jim is the right leader to take the Company to the next phase of
its transformation.”

Clarke will be available to Continenza and the Board to ensure a smooth
transition.

Corporation, LLC and Sorenson Communications LLC. He also serves on the
