4.0% Series B Preferred Stock

On February 25, 2021, the Company filed with the Department of Treasury of the State of New Jersey a Certificate of Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Series B Certificate of Designations”) which established the designation, number of shares, rights, preferences and limitations of the Company’s 4.0% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value (the “4.0% Series B Preferred Stock”), which became effective upon filing.

On February 26, 2021, the Company agreed to exchange one million shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Southeastern Asset Management, Inc. (“Southeastern”) and Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund, C2W Partners Master Fund Limited and Deseret Mutual Pension Trust, which were investment funds managed by Southeastern at the time (such investment funds, collectively, the “Purchasers”), for shares of the Company’s 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock, on a one-for-one basis plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The fair value of the 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock at the time of issuance approximated $95 million. The Company classified the 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock as temporary equity in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Embedded Conversion Features

Kodak allocated $1 million of the fair value from the issuance of the 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock to a derivative liability based on the aggregate fair value of an embedded conversion feature on the date of issuance. The carrying value of the 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock at the time of issuance, $93 million ($95 million fair value of 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock on February 26, 2021 less $1 million allocated to the derivative liability and $1 million of transaction costs) was being accreted to the mandatory redemption amount using the effective interest method to Additional paid in capital in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as a deemed dividend from the date of issuance through the mandatory redemption date, May 28, 2026.

Dividend and Other Rights

Holders of 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock were entitled to cumulative dividends payable quarterly in cash at a rate of 4.0% per annum. If any shares of the 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock had not been converted prior to May 28, 2026, the Company was required to redeem such shares at $100 per share plus the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends.

Series B Preferred Stock Purchase

On December 5, 2025, certain funds affiliated with Kennedy Lewis (such funds, collectively, the “KL Funds”) purchased all outstanding shares of the 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock from the Purchasers or their successors in privately negotiated transactions.

Extinguishment of 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock

On March 11, 2026 (the “Amendment Date”), the Company filed with the Department of Treasury of the State of New Jersey a Certificate of Amendment to the Series B Certificate of Designations which amended certain terms of the Company’s 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock Amendment”) and set forth the terms of the Company’s 6.0% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value (the “6.0% Series B Preferred Stock”).

The Company evaluated the amendment to the Series B Preferred Stock and determined that the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock is substantially different from the 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock, primarily as a result of the embedded conversion option which is being accounted for separately as a derivative following the amendment. Accordingly, the Company accounted for the transaction as an extinguishment of the 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock and the issuance of a new 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock. The Company recognized a $2 million deemed dividend, recorded to Additional paid in capital in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, representing the excess of the fair value of the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock over the carrying value of the 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock as of the Amendment Date.

6.0% Series B Preferred Stock

The total fair value of the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock on the Amendment Date was approximately $102 million, of which $30 million was allocated to the embedded conversion options and recorded separately as a derivative liability (See “Embedded Conversion Features” section below for additional details). The remaining $72 million is being accreted to the mandatory redemption amount using the effective interest method to Additional paid in capital in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as a deemed dividend from the Amendment Date through the mandatory redemption date, June 11, 2029. The Company has classified the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock as temporary equity in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Dividend and Other Rights

The 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock") with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution. The 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $100 per share, and the holders of 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends payable quarterly in cash at a rate of 6.0% per annum. Holders of 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock will have certain limited special approval rights, including with respect to the issuance of pari passu or senior equity securities of the Company. The Series B Preferred Stock Amendment also includes certain limitations on the Company’s ability to incur certain debt for borrowed money without the consent of the holders of 66 2/3% of the outstanding 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock, provided that the Company would have the right to redeem the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock in full for cash if such consent is not provided (subject to the terms set forth in the Series B Preferred Stock Amendment).

Redemption Features

If any shares of 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock have not been converted prior to June 11, 2029 (the “Mandatory Redemption Date”), the Company is required to redeem such shares at $100 per share plus the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends. As the Company concluded the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock is considered more akin to a debt-type instrument, the redemption feature is considered to be clearly and closely related to the host contract and therefore was not required to be separated from the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock.

Conversion Features

Each share of 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of each holder at any time, into shares of Common Stock at the initial conversion rate of 10.00 shares of Common Stock for each share of 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $10.00 per share of Common Stock). The initial conversion rate and the corresponding conversion price are subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments. If a holder elects to convert any shares of 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock during a specified period in connection with a fundamental change (as defined in the Series B Preferred Stock Amendment), such holder can elect to receive a make-whole premium, payable in additional shares of Common Stock, following the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock if a fundamental change has occurred. In each case, the holder will also be entitled to receive shares with respect to accumulated dividends. In addition, the Company will have the right to require holders to convert any shares of 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock in connection with certain reorganization events in which case the conversion rate will be adjusted, subject to certain limitations.

The Company has the right, subject to certain conditions, to cause the mandatory conversion of the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock in three tranches, each representing one-third of the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock if the closing price of the Common Stock has for 45 trading days within a period of 60 consecutive trading days a) equaled or exceeded $14.50 after eighteen months from the Amendment Date, b) equaled or exceeded $15.50 after twenty four months from the Amendment Date and c) equaled or exceeded $16.50 after thirty months from the Amendment Date (in each case, the amount per share is subject to adjustment in the same manner as the conversion price).

Upon a voluntary or mandatory conversion of the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock, to the extent the Company would otherwise be required to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the number permitted without obtaining shareholder or regulatory approval, the Company is required to pay cash in lieu of issuing such excess shares. The cash payment is determined based on the market value of the Common Stock as of the applicable conversion date.

Embedded Conversion Features

The Company concluded the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded conversion features are not considered clearly and closely related to the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock. Accordingly, these embedded conversion features were bifurcated from the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock and separately accounted for on a combined basis as a single derivative liability. The Company allocated $30 million of the total fair value of the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock to the derivative liability based on the aggregate fair value of the embedded conversion features as of the Amendment Date. The derivative is being accounted for at fair value with subsequent changes in the fair value being reported as part of Other charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The fair value of the embedded derivative as of March 31, 2026 was a liability of $42 million and is included in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Refer to Note 19, “Financial Instruments” for information on the valuation of the derivative.

Beneficial Ownership Side Letter

On March 11, 2026, in connection with the Series B Preferred Stock Amendment, the Company entered into an amendment to an existing agreement (the “Side Letter”) with Kennedy Lewis Management LP and Kennedy Lewis Capital Partners Master Fund III LP, KLIM Delta HQC3 LP, Kennedy Lewis (EU) SPV LP and KLCP Co-Investment Opportunities III LP, (each, a “Fund”) which provides that no Fund shall have the right to convert any shares of 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Fund, together with the Fund’s Attribution Parties (as defined in the Side Letter), would collectively beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock of the Company in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). The Funds may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation at any time upon not less than sixty-one (61) days’ prior written notice to the Company.

Investor Rights Agreement

On March 11, 2026, in connection with the Series B Preferred Stock Amendment, the Company entered into an Investor Rights Agreement (the “Series B Investor Rights Agreement”) with Kennedy Lewis Investment Management LLC (together with its affiliates and certain funds, accounts or clients managed, advised or sub-advised by Kennedy Lewis Investment Management LLC or its affiliates, “Kennedy Lewis”). Under the terms of the Series B Investor Rights Agreement, Kennedy Lewis is entitled to certain preemptive rights in connection with future issuances of the Company’s equity securities and the Company is entitled to rights of first refusal in connection with any proposed transfer by Kennedy Lewis of the Series B Preferred Stock, in each case, subject to customary terms and conditions. In addition, the Company has agreed to provide Kennedy Lewis with a reasonable opportunity to participate in future debt financings.

Registration Rights Agreement:

On March 11, 2026, in connection with the Series B Preferred Stock Amendment, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Series B Registration Rights Agreement”) with Kennedy Lewis. Under the terms of the Series B Registration Rights Agreement, Kennedy Lewis (i) is entitled to require the Company to register for resale the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, along with other shares of Common Stock held by Kennedy Lewis, on a shelf registration statement and (ii) has certain demand rights with respect to takedowns from such shelf registration statement. The Series B Registration Rights Agreement includes customary terms and conditions, including certain customary indemnification obligations.
