NOTE 19: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Prior to the Effective Date, Kodak had shares or share-based awards outstanding under two share-based employee compensation plans consisting of the 2005 Omnibus Long-Term Compensation Plan (the “2005 Plan”), and the 2000 Omnibus Long-Term Compensation Plan (the “2000 Plan”). In conjunction with the Plan (see Note 2, “Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 Proceedings”), all shares, options, restricted shares and other share-based awards that were outstanding on the Effective Date were canceled.

2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan

As part of the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Company’s 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) which replaces all prior stock-based employee benefit plans (including the 2005 Plan and the 2000 Plan).

The 2013 Plan is administered by the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors also has the authority and responsibility granted to the Executive Compensation Committee with respect to the 2013 Plan. Awards under the 2013 Plan may be cash-based or stock-based. Officers, directors and employees of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are eligible to receive awards under the 2013 Plan.  Unless sooner terminated by the Compensation Committee, no awards may be granted under the 2013 Plan after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date.

The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2013 Plan is approximately 4.8 million. In addition, under the 2013 Plan, the maximum number of shares available for the grant of incentive stock options is 2.0 million shares. The maximum number of shares as to which stock options or stock appreciation rights may be granted to any one person under the 2013 Plan in any calendar year is 2.0 million shares. The maximum number of the performance-based compensation awards that may be granted to any one employee under the 2013 Plan in any calendar year is 1.0 million shares or, in the event such award is paid in cash, $2.5 million. The maximum number of awards that may be granted to any non-employee director under the 2013 Plan in any calendar year may not exceed a number of awards with a grant date fair value of $900,000, computed as of the grant date in accordance with the applicable accounting rules.

For awards that vest based solely on service conditions, Kodak recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. For awards with vesting that is contingent upon the achievement of performance conditions, Kodak recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the performance period for each separately vesting tranche of the award. Kodak reduces the compensation expense by an estimated forfeiture rate which is based on actual experience. 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.
