Retirement Benefits [Text Block] | NOTE 19: RETIREMENT PLANS Substantially all U.S. employees are covered by a noncontributory defined benefit plan, the Kodak Retirement Income Plan (“KRIP” or the "U.S. Plan"), 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. In May 2022, the KRIP plan was amended to increase the employees’ crediting rates from 9% or 10% of pay based on employee classification to 12% or 13% of pay, retroactive to January 1, 2022. The plan amendment also provided a one-time service credit to eligible employees’ cash balance accounts. In May 2023, the KRIP plan was amended to provide another one-time service credit to eligible employees’ cash balance accounts. 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. Obligations and Funded Status: The measurement date used to determine the pension obligation for all funded and unfunded U.S. and Non-U.S. defined benefit plans is December 31.

An actuarial loss of $28 million related to the U.S. Plan's projected benefit obligation ("PBO") was recognized in 2023, primarily driven by a decrease in the discount rate ($40 million), partially offset by a gain associated with favorable mortality experience ($12 million). Additionally, a prior service cost was recognized as a result of a plan amendment ($29 million) in 2023. In 2022, a PBO actuarial gain of $479 million was recognized for the U.S. Plan driven primarily by an increase in the discount rate ($582 million), partially offset by a loss associated with updated mortality assumptions ($105 million). Additionally, a prior service cost was recognized as a result of a plan amendment ($28 million). The Non-U.S. PBO actuarial loss of $12 million recognized in 2023 was driven by decreases in discount rates ($20 million) and unfavorable demographic experience ($1 million), partially offset by gains associated with lower inflation assumptions ($9 million). The Non-U.S. PBO actuarial gains of $165 million recognized in 2022 were driven primarily by an increase in the discount rates. The actual return on plan assets for the U.S. Plan was $170 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and negative $152 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The return for 2023 reflected strong performance of debt securities and certain hedge fund investments, and the negative return for 2022 reflected negative bond performance due to rising interest rates. The total net realized losses from derivative investments for 2023 and 2022 were approximately ($1) million and ($128) million, respectively. Refer to discussion below on derivative instruments for further information. The weighted-average assumptions used to determine the benefit obligation amounts for all major funded and unfunded U.S. and Non-U.S. defined benefit plans were as follows:

The special termination benefits for each of the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 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 weighted-average assumptions used to determine net pension (income) expense for all the major funded and unfunded U.S. and Non-U.S. defined benefit plans were as follows:
|  | Year Ended December 31, |
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
|  | U.S. |  |  | Non-U.S. |  |  | U.S. |  |  | Non-U.S. |  |  | U.S. |  |  | Non-U.S. |

Effective rate for interest cost |  |  | 5.02 | % |  |  | 3.80 | % |  |  | 2.97 | % |  |  | 1.20 | % |  |  | 1.42 | % |  |  | 0.70 | %
Salary increase rate |  |  | 1.00 | % |  |  | 2.71 | % |  |  | 1.00 | % |  |  | 2.39 | % |  |  | 3.50 | % |  |  | 1.56 | %
Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets |  |  | 7.50 | % |  |  | 4.16 | % |  |  | 5.30 | % |  |  | 2.67 | % |  |  | 5.20 | % |  |  | 2.56 | %
Interest crediting rate for cash balance plan |  |  | 3.85 | % |  | NA |  |  |  | 2.58 | % |  | NA |  |  |  | 1.75 | % |  | NA |
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 and 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 both the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 the most significant concentrations of risk were with two investment management firms (Loomis Sayles and Income Research + Management) which each managed 10% of plan assets. The Company’s weighted-average asset allocations for its major U.S. defined benefit pension plan by asset category, are as follows:
|  | As of December 31, |  |  |  |
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |  |  | 2023 Target |
Asset Category |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Derivative Investments The U.S. Plan derivative instruments consist primarily 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, 2023 and 2022, the notional amount for exchange traded futures contracts approximated $384 million and $389 million, 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, 2023 and 2022 was $1 million and $0 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 both the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, approximately $9 million was on deposit in cash and Treasury bills 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 a 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, 2023 and 2022 by asset class is presented in the tables below: U.S. Plan December 31, 2023

| (2) | Debt securities are traded on an active market and are valued using a market approach based on the closing price on the last business day of the year.
Investments Valued at NAV Kodak performs an investment-by-investment analysis to determine if the investment meets the requirements to be measured at NAV. For investments with lagged pricing, Kodak uses the latest available net asset values and considers expected return and other relevant material events for the year-end valuation of these investments. The total fair value, unfunded commitments and redemption provisions for the U.S defined benefit pension plan’s investments valued at NAV are as follows:

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. 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 and Treasury bills as liquidity reserves that serve as variation margin for the U.S. Treasury futures contracts directly held by the U. S. Plan to hedge its liability duration. Approximately $77 million and $90 million of cash liquidity reserves associated with hedge funds as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, these investments represented approximately 1% of the hedge funds investments valued at NAV. Liquidity Approximately 31% of total U.S. Plan assets as of December 31, 2023 are invested in private equity funds, real estate funds and other investments where the U.S. Plan receives distributions through the liquidation of the underlying investments. Liquidity of U.S. 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. Plan consistent with historical experience.
