NOTICE OF THE 2019 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

The Annual Meeting of Shareholders (Annual Meeting) of Eastman Kodak Company will be held on Wednesday, May 22, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time at The Benjamin, 125 East 50th Street, New York, New York 10022. We are asking our shareholders to vote on the following proposals at the Annual Meeting:

1.  Election of the seven directors named in the Proxy Statement for a term of one year or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.
2. Advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers.
3. Ratification of the Audit and Finance Committee’s selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm.
4. Such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

The Board of Directors recommends you vote FOR each of the nominees listed in Proposal 1 and FOR Proposals 2 and 3.

If you held your shares at the close of business on March 28, 2019, you are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

We follow the Securities and Exchange Commission’s “e-proxy” rules that allow public companies to furnish proxy materials to their shareholders over the internet. These rules allow us to provide you with the information you need, while lowering the cost of delivery and reducing the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting.

If you have any questions about the Annual Meeting, please contact: Shareholder Services, Eastman Kodak Company, 343 State Street, Rochester, NY 14650-0235, (585) 724-4053, e-mail: shareholderservices@kodak.com. The Annual Meeting will be accessible by the handicapped. If you require special assistance, please contact Shareholder Services.

By Order of the Board of Directors

General Counsel, Secretary and Senior Vice President
Eastman Kodak Company

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Shareholder Meeting to be held on May 22, 2019. The Notice of 2019 Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement and 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K are available at www.edocumentview.com/KODK.

PROXY STATEMENT

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Q.   

Why am I receiving these proxy materials?

A.

Our Board of Directors (the Board) is providing these proxy materials to you on the internet, or has delivered printed versions to you by mail, in connection with Kodak’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the Annual Meeting), which will take place on Wednesday, May 22, 2019. As a shareholder, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and are entitled and requested to vote on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement. We are making these proxy materials available to you on or about April 9, 2019.

Q.

What is included in these proxy materials?

A.

These proxy materials include:

Our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K; and
Notice of 2019 Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement.
If you received printed versions of the proxy materials by mail, these proxy materials also include a proxy card.
Q.

What am I voting on?

A.

The Board is soliciting your proxy in connection with the Annual Meeting to be held on Wednesday, May 22, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time at The Benjamin, 125 East 50th Street, New York, New York 10022, and any adjournment or postponement thereof. You are voting on the following proposals:

1. 

Election of the seven directors named in this Proxy Statement for a term of one year or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

2. Advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers.
3. Ratification of the Audit and Finance Committee’s selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm.
The Board recommends you vote FOR each of the director nominees listed in Proposal 1 and FOR Proposals 2 and 3.
Q.

Why did I receive a one-page notice in the mail regarding the internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?

A.

We follow the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the SEC) “e-proxy” rules that allow public companies to furnish proxy materials to shareholders over the internet. The “e-proxy” rules remove the requirement for public companies to automatically send shareholders a full, printed copy of proxy materials and allow them instead to deliver to their shareholders a “Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials” (the Notice of Internet Availability) and to provide online access to the documents. As a result, we mailed the Notice of Internet Availability to many of our shareholders on or about April 9, 2019.

The Notice of Internet Availability provides instructions on how to:
View our proxy materials for the Annual Meeting on the internet and vote; and
Request a printed copy of the proxy materials.
In addition, shareholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by e-mail on an ongoing basis. Choosing to receive your future proxy materials by e-mail will save us the cost of printing and mailing documents to you and will reduce the environmental impact of printed materials.
Q.

Why didn’t I receive a notice in the mail about the internet availability of the proxy materials?

A.

We are providing some of our shareholders, including those who have previously requested to receive paper copies of the proxy materials, with paper copies of the proxy materials instead of the Notice of Internet Availability.

In addition, we are providing the Notice of Internet Availability by e-mail to those shareholders who have previously elected delivery of the proxy materials electronically. Those shareholders should have received an e-mail containing a link to the website where the proxy materials are available.
Q.

Where can I view the proxy materials on the internet?

A.

We are making this Proxy Statement and voting instructions available to shareholders on or about April 9, 2019, at www.edocumentview.com/KODK. We are also making our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K available at the same time and by the same method. The 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K is not a part of the proxy solicitation material and is not incorporated herein by reference.

Table of Contents

Q.   

How can I receive a printed copy of the proxy materials?

A.

Shareholder of Record. You may request a printed copy of the proxy materials by any of the following methods:

Telephone: within the U.S.A., U.S. territories and Canada, call toll-free at 1-866-641-4276; or outside of the U.S.A., U.S. territories and Canada, call collect at 1-781-575-3170;
Internet at www.envisionreports.com/KODK; or
E-mail at investorvote@computershare.com. Reference “Proxy Materials Eastman Kodak Company” in the subject line. In the message, include your full name and address, the number located in the shaded bar on the Notice of Internet Availability/proxy card, and state that you want to receive a paper copy of current and/or future meeting materials.

Beneficial Owner. You may request a printed copy of the proxy materials by following the instructions provided to you by your broker, trustee or nominee.

Q.

What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

A.

Most of our shareholders hold their shares through a broker or other nominee (beneficial owner) rather than directly in their own name (shareholder of record). As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shareholders of record and beneficial owners.

Shareholder of Record. If your shares are registered in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare, you are considered the shareholder of record of these shares, and we are making these proxy materials available directly to you. As a shareholder of record, you have the right to give your voting proxy to our management or a third party, or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owner. If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by another nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and your broker, trustee or nominee is making these proxy materials available to you together with a voting instruction form. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, trustee or nominee on how to vote your shares. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. Your broker, trustee or nominee has enclosed or provided voting instructions for you to use in directing the broker, trustee or nominee on how to vote your shares. Since a beneficial owner is not the shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, trustee or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares in person at the Annual Meeting. In order to vote your shares, you must either: 1) obtain a legal proxy that gives you the right to vote the shares in person at the Annual Meeting; or 2) provide voting instructions to your broker.

Q.

Will any other matters be voted on?

A.

We are not aware of any other matters that shareholders will be asked to vote on at the Annual Meeting. If any other matter is properly brought before the Annual Meeting, the named proxies, James V. Continenza and Roger W. Byrd, will vote for you on such matter in their discretion. New Jersey law (under which the Company is incorporated) requires that you be given notice of all matters to be voted on, other than procedural matters such as adjournment of the Annual Meeting.

Q.

How do I vote?

A.

Shareholder of Record. If you are a shareholder of record, there are four ways to vote:

By internet at www.envisionreports.com/KODK. We encourage you to vote this way.
By touch tone telephone: within the U.S.A., U.S. territories and Canada, call toll-free at 1-800-652-VOTE (8683); or outside the U.S.A., U.S. territories and Canada, call collect at 1-781-575-2300.
By completing and mailing your proxy card.
By written ballot at the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owner. If you are a beneficial owner, please follow the voting instructions sent to you by your broker, trustee or nominee.

Whether you are a shareholder of record or a beneficial owner, your shares will be voted as you indicate.

Table of Contents

Q.    What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions?
A. Shareholder of Record. If you are a shareholder of record and you:
Indicate when voting on the internet or by telephone that you wish to vote as recommended by our Board; or
Sign and return a proxy card without giving specific voting instructions,
        then the named proxies, James V. Continenza and Roger W. Byrd, will vote your shares in the manner recommended by our Board (i.e., FOR each of the director nominees named in Proposal 1 and FOR Proposals 2 and 3) and in their discretion with respect to any other matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting.
Beneficial Owner. If you do not provide your broker, trustee or nominee with specific voting instructions, or if you do not obtain a legal proxy that gives you the right to vote the shares in person at the Annual Meeting, your shares will not be voted or counted with respect to Proposals 1 and 2, which are non-routine proposals. Your broker, trustee or nominee has discretionary authority to vote your uninstructed shares with respect to Proposal 3, which is a routine proposal. Uninstructed shares with respect to which your broker does not have discretionary authority are known as “broker non-votes.”
Q.    What is the deadline for voting my shares?
A. Shareholder of Record. If you are a shareholder of record and vote by internet or telephone, your vote must be received by 1:00 a.m. Eastern Time, on May 22, 2019, the morning of the Annual Meeting. If you are a shareholder of record and vote by mail or by written ballot at the Annual Meeting, your vote must be received before the polls close at the Annual Meeting.
Beneficial Owner. If you are a beneficial owner, please follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, trustee or nominee. You may vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting only if you obtain a legal proxy from your broker, trustee or nominee and present it at the Annual Meeting before the polls close.
Q.    Who can vote?
A. You must be a shareholder of record or a beneficial owner as of the close of business on March 28, 2019, the record date for the Annual Meeting. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. Holders of 5.50% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (Series A convertible preferred stock) are entitled to vote upon all matters upon which holders of common stock have the right to vote, and are entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of full shares of common stock into which such shares of Series A convertible preferred stock could be converted at the then applicable conversion rate at the record date. Such votes will be counted together with shares of common stock and not separately as a class. As of the record date, each share of Series A convertible preferred stock is convertible into 5.7471 shares of common stock.
Q.    How can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?
A. Shareholder of Record. If you are a shareholder of record, you can change your vote or revoke your proxy before the Annual Meeting by:
Entering a timely new vote by internet or telephone;
Returning a later-dated proxy card;
Notifying Roger W. Byrd, Secretary; or
Completing a written ballot at the Annual Meeting.
Beneficial Owner. If you are a beneficial owner, please follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, trustee or nominee.

Table of Contents

Q.    What vote is required to approve each proposal?
A. The following table describes the voting requirements for each proposal:
Proposal 1 - Election of Directors

As set forth in our By-laws, the Board has adopted a majority voting standard for uncontested director elections. Because the number of nominees properly nominated for the Annual Meeting is the same as the number of directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting, the 2019 election of directors is an uncontested election.

To be elected in an uncontested election, a director nominee must be elected by a majority of the votes cast with respect to that director nominee. A majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes cast FOR a nominee’s election must exceed the number of votes cast AGAINST the nominee’s election. Each nominee receiving more votes FOR his or her election than votes AGAINST his or her election will be elected.

Proposal 2 - Advisory Vote to Approve the Compensation of our Named Executive Officers To be approved, this proposal must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by holders entitled to vote thereon.
Proposal 3 - Ratification of the Audit and Finance Committee’s Selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To be approved, this proposal must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by holders entitled to vote thereon.

Q.    How are votes counted?
A.

For Proposal 1, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” with respect to each of the nominees. In tabulating the voting results for the election of directors, only “FOR” and “AGAINST” votes are counted. If you elect to abstain in the election of directors, the abstention will not impact the outcome of the election. Broker non-votes are not counted and will not impact the outcome of the vote.

You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” with respect to Proposals 2 and 3. In tabulating the voting results for these proposals, “FOR” and “AGAINST” votes are counted. For Proposals 2 and 3, abstentions are not counted and will not impact the outcome of the vote. With respect to Proposal 2, broker non-votes are not counted and will not impact the outcome of the vote. A broker will have discretionary authority to vote on Proposal 3 relating to the ratification of the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm.


Q.    Who will count the vote?
A. Computershare will count the votes. A representative from Computershare will serve as the inspector of election.
Q.    Who can attend the Annual Meeting?
A. If you held your shares as of the close of business on March 28, 2019, the record date for the Annual Meeting, you can attend the Annual Meeting.
Q.    What do I need to do to attend the Annual Meeting?
A. To attend the Annual Meeting, please follow these instructions:
If you vote by internet or telephone, follow the instructions provided for attendance.
If you vote by using a proxy card, check the appropriate box on the card.
If you are a beneficial owner, bring your legal proxy from your broker, trustee or nominee as well as proof of identity in the form of a government-issued ID to the registration area.
To enter the Annual Meeting, bring the Admission Ticket attached to your proxy card or printed from the internet as well as proof of identity in the form of a government-issued ID to the registration area.
If you do not have an Admission Ticket, go to the registration area upon arrival.
Seating at the Annual Meeting is limited and will be on a first-come, first-served basis. We may take photographs and videotape at the Annual Meeting, which we may use in publications. If you attend the Annual Meeting, we assume we have your permission to use your image.

Table of Contents

Q.    Can I bring a guest?
A. Yes. If you plan to bring a guest to the Annual Meeting, follow the instructions on the internet or telephone or check the appropriate box on your proxy card. When you go through the registration area at the Annual Meeting, your guest must register with you and must present proof of identity in the form of a government-issued ID.
Q.    What is the quorum requirement of the Annual Meeting?
A. The holders of shares entitled to cast a majority of the votes on March 28, 2019 will constitute a quorum for voting at the Annual Meeting. If you vote, your shares will be part of the quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted in determining the quorum. On March 28, 2019, there were 42,974,257 shares of our common stock outstanding and 2,000,000 shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock outstanding. As of the record date, each share of Series A convertible preferred stock is convertible into 5.7471 shares of common stock and holders are entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of full shares of common stock into which such shares of Series A convertible preferred stock could be converted. Accordingly, holders entitled to cast 27,234,229 votes will constitute a quorum for the Annual Meeting.
Q.    Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?
A. We intend to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and disclose final results in a Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC within four business days of the Annual Meeting. If final results are not available at such time, the Form 8-K will disclose preliminary results, to be followed with an amended Form 8-K when final results are available.
Q.    Can I nominate someone to the Board?
A. Our By-laws provide that any shareholder can nominate a person for election to the Board so long as the shareholder follows the procedure outlined in our By-laws as summarized below. This is the procedure to be followed for direct nominations, as opposed to recommendations of nominees for consideration by our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. The complete description of the procedure for shareholder nominations of director candidates is contained in our By-laws. You can request a copy of the full text of this By-law provision by writing to our Secretary at our principal executive offices. Our By-laws can also be accessed at http://investor.kodak.com/supporting.cfm.

For purposes of summarizing this procedure, we have assumed: 1) the date of the upcoming annual meeting is within 30 days of the anniversary of the annual meeting for the previous year and 2) if the size of the Board is to be increased, that both the name of the director nominee and the size of the increased Board are publicly disclosed at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting. Based on these assumptions, a shareholder desiring to nominate one or more candidates for election at the next annual meeting must deliver written notice of such nomination to our Secretary, at our principal executive office, not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting. Accordingly, for our 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the 2020 Annual Meeting), notice of nomination must be delivered to our Secretary no earlier than January 23, 2020 and no later than February 22, 2020.

The written notice to our Secretary must contain the following information with respect to each nominee: 1) the proposing shareholder’s name and address; 2) the number of shares owned of record and beneficially by the proposing shareholder; 3) the name of the person to be nominated; 4) the number of shares owned of record and beneficially by the nominee; 5) a description of all relationships, arrangements and understandings between the shareholder and the nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination is to be made by the shareholder; 6) such other information regarding the nominee as would have been required to be included in the proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the SEC had the nominee been nominated, or intended to be nominated, by the Board, such as the nominee’s name, age and business experience; and 7) the nominee’s signed consent to serve as a director if so elected.

Persons nominated in accordance with this procedure will be eligible for election as directors at the 2020 Annual Meeting.
Q.    What is the deadline to propose actions for consideration at the 2020 Annual Meeting?
A. For a shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement for the 2020 Annual Meeting, the Secretary must receive the written proposal at our principal executive office no later than the close of business on December 11, 2019. Proposals received after this date will be considered untimely. Proposals must comply with SEC regulations under Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), regarding the inclusion of shareholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials. Proposals should be addressed to:

90 days prior to the meeting; and

We will reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees, trustees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of shares for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to such beneficial owners.

Please contact your broker or other nominee if you wish to adjust your preferences regarding the delivery of the Notice of Internet Availability or proxy materials.

PROPOSAL 1

PROPOSAL 1 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our By-laws require us to have at least seven but no more than 13 directors. In light of the sale of the Company’s Flexographic Packaging Division and upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (Governance Committee), the number of directors, which is set by the Board, has been reduced from nine to seven, effective as of the Annual Meeting. Mr. Continenza, our Executive Chairman, is the only director who is an employee of the Company.

The following six directors are standing for re-election, having been elected at the previous annual meeting and upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (Governance Committee): Richard Todd Bradley, James V. Continenza, Jeffrey D. Engelberg, George Karfunkel, Jason New and William G. Parrett. In connection with the reduction in the size of the Board, Messrs. Burgess and Doheny, current directors of the Company, are not standing for re-election at the Annual Meeting.

If elected, all of the nominees for director will serve a one year term or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Information about the director nominees is provided in the section entitled “Board of Directors and Corporate Governance” in this Proxy Statement.

If a nominee is unable to stand for election, the Board may reduce the number of directors or choose a substitute. If the Board chooses a substitute, the shares represented by proxies will be voted for the substitute. If a director retires, resigns, dies or is unable to serve for any reason, the Board may reduce the number of directors or elect a new director to fill the vacancy.

Director nominees are elected by a majority of votes cast. Each director nominee who receives more “FOR” than “AGAINST” votes cast for his election will be elected.

If a director nominee receives a greater number of votes “AGAINST” his election than votes “FOR” such election, the Board will decide whether to accept the irrevocable letter of resignation the nominee submitted as a condition of being nominated to the Board in accordance with our Majority Vote Policy.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the election of each of the director nominees.

DIRECTOR AND NOMINEE INDEPENDENCE

The Board has determined that each of the following directors has no material relationship with us (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us) and is independent under our Director Independence Standards and the independence standards of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE): Richard Todd Bradley, Mark S. Burgess, Matthew A. Doheny, Jeffrey D. Engelberg, George Karfunkel, Philippe D. Katz, Jason New and William G. Parrett. As our employee and former employee, respectively, James V. Continenza, our Executive Chairman, and Jeffrey J. Clarke, our Chief Executive Officer and director until February 2019, are not independent. In determining the independence of the non-management directors, the Board considered Mr. Karfunkel’s shareholdings and the affiliations of Messrs. Bradley, Engelberg, Katz and New, as affiliates of entities that hold an equity interest in our company (discussed under Certain Relationships and Related Transactions), and determined that such shareholdings and affiliations did not affect the independence of these directors and nominees.

The Board has adopted Director Independence Standards for use in determining whether a director is independent. The Director Independence Standards are consistent with NYSE independence standards. The Board also uses the NYSE independence standards in determining whether members of specific committees are independent. The Director Independence Standards are part of our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are posted on our website at http://investor.kodak.com/supporting.cfm.

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

The Board recognizes that one of its key responsibilities is to determine the most appropriate leadership structure for our company and to ensure independent oversight of management. James V. Continenza serves as our Executive Chairman. Following Mr. Clarke’s departure, the Board decided to have the same person perform the roles of Chairman and principal executive officer in order to best ensure oversight of our company and management and provide a unified structure ensuring strong and consistent leadership. The Company does not have a lead independent director. Instead, in accordance with our

11


Table of Contents

Corporate Governance Guidelines, our independent directors are required to meet in executive session without management and, at each such session, an independent director chosen by the independent directors will preside at such executive session.

We continually monitor developments in the area of corporate governance to develop and implement best practices. Strong corporate governance is a fundamental goal of our Board.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines are posted on our website at http://investor.kodak.com/supporting.cfm.

Our Business Conduct Guide and our Directors’ Code of Conduct are posted on our website at http://investor.kodak.com/supporting.cfm.

GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

Meeting Attendance

Our Board has a Director Attendance Policy that is part of our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which is posted on our website at http://investor.kodak.com/supporting.cfm. Under this policy, all of our directors are strongly encouraged to attend all Board meetings and our Annual Meeting of Shareholders. In 2018, the Board held a total of 11 meetings. Each director attended more than 75% of the meetings of the Board and committees of the Board on which the director served. All of our then serving directors attended the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 22, 2018.

Executive Sessions

Each executive session of our non-management directors is chaired by an independent director, chosen by the independent directors to preside at such executive session.

Communications with Our Board

Shareholders and interested parties who wish to communicate with the Board, the independent directors as a group or an individual director, may send an e-mail to our Executive Chairman at chairman@kodak.com or may send a letter to our Executive Chairman or to the independent directors c/o Secretary, Eastman Kodak Company, 343 State Street, Rochester, NY 14650-0224. Communications received will be forwarded to the Board, the independent directors as a group or the individual director as directed, unless the communication is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal, does not reasonably relate to the Company or its business, or is similarly inappropriate. The Executive Chairman and the directors have authority to disregard any inappropriate communications or to take other appropriate actions with respect to any such inappropriate communications.

Consideration of Director Candidates

The Governance Committee will consider nominations for director candidates recommended by its members, other Board members, management, shareholders and the search firms it retains. The Governance Committee reviews all potential candidates under our Director Selection Process and Qualification Standards described below.

Shareholders wishing to recommend candidates for consideration by the Board may do so by providing the following information, in writing, to the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board, c/o Secretary, Eastman Kodak Company, 343 State Street, Rochester, NY 14650-0224: 1) the name, address and telephone number of the shareholder making the request; 2) the number of shares owned, and, if such person is not a shareholder of record or if such shares are held by an entity, reasonable evidence of such person’s ownership of such shares or such person’s authority to act on behalf of such entity; 3) the full name, address and telephone number of the individual being recommended, together with a reasonably detailed description of the background, experience and qualifications of that individual; 4) a signed acknowledgement by the individual being recommended that he or she has consented to: a) serve as director if elected and b) the Company undertaking an inquiry into that individual’s background, experience and qualifications; 5) the disclosure of any relationship of the individual being recommended with the Company, whether direct or indirect; and 6) if known to the shareholder, any material interest of such shareholder or individual being recommended in any proposals or other business to be presented at the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders (or a statement to the effect that no material interest is known to such shareholder).

Director Selection Process and Qualification Standards

The Governance Committee is responsible for identifying, screening and recommending candidates for Board membership. When reviewing a potential candidate for the Board, the Governance Committee looks to whether the candidate possesses the necessary qualifications to serve as a director. To assist it in these determinations, the Governance Committee has adopted Director Qualification Standards and a Director Selection Process, which are posted as part of our Corporate Governance Guidelines on our website at http://investor.kodak.com/supporting.cfm.

The Director Qualification Standards specify that, in addition to any other factors described in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board should at a minimum consider the following factors, as more fully described in our Director Qualification Standards, in the nomination or appointment of members of the Board: integrity, reputation, judgment, knowledge, experience, maturity, commitment, skills, track record, diversity (including with respect to gender, race, ethnicity and sexual orientation), age, independence and ownership stake. The Governance Committee, in accordance with its Director Selection Process, will then consider the candidate’s qualifications in light of the needs of the Board and our company at that time, given the then-current mix of director attributes and the Board’s projected strengths and future needs. Based on the Governance Committee’s results of the assessment of Board needs, they may develop a target candidate profile. As provided in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Governance Committee seeks to create a multi-disciplinary Board that, as a whole, is strong in both its knowledge and experience. The Governance Committee may use the services of a third-party executive search firm, as well as the personal network of the Board and senior management, and considers any previously recommended nominees when identifying and evaluating possible nominees for director. The search firm assists in identifying candidates who meet the skills and qualifications specified by the Governance Committee. A list of preferred candidates is developed and presented to the full Board, including the Executive Chairman, for review and input. Interest on the part of the potential candidate is gauged and an interview and reference check are performed. The full Board makes a determination with respect to the candidate. Candidates that are successfully elected to the Board participate in orientation sessions to familiarize them with our business. The Board has a mandatory retirement age of 72, unless an extension is approved by the Board, but in no event above age 75. In April 2019, the Board approved a waiver of the mandatory retirement age for Mr. Parrett for a one-year period.

Although the Governance Committee does not have a formal policy regarding the consideration of diversity in the selection of candidates, the Governance Committee considers diversity when evaluating possible nominees under our Director Qualification Standards, which provide that the Board should be a diverse body, with diversity reflecting gender, ethnic background, race, sexual orientation, country of citizenship and professional experience. In addition, the Governance Committee and the Board evaluate diversity as part of the Board’s periodic evaluation process.

Strategic Role of Board

The Board plays a key role in developing, reviewing and overseeing the execution of our business strategy. The Board receives progress reports from management throughout the year on the implementation of the strategic plan, including business segment performance and strategy reviews for each of our key businesses, product line reviews and presentations regarding research and development initiatives and our intellectual property portfolio.

Table of Contents

Succession Planning

The entire Board reviews our succession plans for our Executive Chairman and other key senior management positions and oversees our activities in the areas of leadership and executive development. To assist the Board, management periodically reports to the Board on succession planning to ensure that it is a continuous and ongoing effort.

Majority Voting for Directors

Our By-laws provide for majority voting in uncontested director elections.

We also maintain a Majority Vote Policy that requires a director nominee, in connection with his or her nomination to the Board, to submit a resignation letter in which the director nominee irrevocably elects to resign if he or she fails to receive the required majority vote in the next election and the Board accepts the resignation. The policy requires the Board to nominate for election or re-election as a director only those candidates who agree to execute such a letter upon his or her nomination. The Majority Vote Policy is posted on our website at http://investor.kodak.com/supporting.cfm.

If a director nominee fails to receive a majority vote in an uncontested election, the Majority Vote Policy provides that the Governance Committee will consider the resignation letter and recommend to the Board whether to accept it. The Governance Committee, in making its recommendation to the Board, and the Board, in reaching its decision, may consider relevant factors, including any stated reason why shareholders voted against the election of the director, the director’s qualifications, the director’s past and expected future contributions to us, the overall composition of the Board and whether accepting the resignation letter would cause us to fail to comply with any applicable rule, such as the NYSE’s listing standards.

The policy provides that the Board will act on the Governance Committee’s recommendation and publicly disclose its decision whether to accept the director’s letter of resignation within 90 days following the certification of the shareholder vote. If the letter of resignation is not accepted by the Board within this 90-day period, the resignation will not be effective until the next annual meeting.

All seven director nominees standing for election at the Annual Meeting have submitted an irrevocable letter of resignation as a condition of nomination pursuant to the Majority Vote Policy.

Risk Management

Our Board oversees an enterprise-wide approach to risk management, designed to support the achievement of our objectives, including strategic objectives, to improve long-term performance and enhance shareholder value. A fundamental part of risk management is not only identifying and prioritizing the risks we face and monitoring the steps management is taking to manage those risks, but also determining the level of risk that is appropriate for us. As an integral part of its review and approval of our strategic plan, the Board considers the appropriate level of risk that is acceptable. Through this process, the Board assesses risk throughout the Company, focusing on four primary risk categories: strategic, operational (including with respect to cybersecurity), legal/compliance and financial reporting. The Audit and Finance Committee is responsible for reviewing the results of our enterprise risk assessment on an annual basis. The Board also receives reports on management’s progress in mitigating key risks.

The Board has delegated to its committees responsibility for the oversight of risk management in specific risk areas. For example, in 2018, the committees of the Board oversaw:

Risk management relating to our financial reporting (including internal controls).
Risk management relating to our compensation programs and awards.
Risk management relating to our capital structure.
Risk management relating to our insurance and pension programs.
Risk management relating to cybersecurity.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT AND FINANCE COMMITTEE

Management is responsible for our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures, and preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Our independent registered public accounting firm (independent accountants), PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), is responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements and of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and for issuing a report of the results. As outlined in its charter, the Audit and Finance Committee is responsible for overseeing these processes.

During 2018, the Audit and Finance Committee met and held discussions with management and the independent accountants on a regular basis. Management represented to the Audit and Finance Committee that our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Audit and Finance Committee reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements and significant accounting matters with management and the independent accountants.

The Audit and Finance Committee discussed with the independent accountants the matters required to be discussed under auditing standards established from time to time by the PCAOB and by SEC rules. The Audit and Finance Committee has received from the independent accountants the written disclosures and letter required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountants’ communications with the Audit and Finance Committee concerning independence. The Audit and Finance Committee discussed with the independent accountants their independence.

The Audit and Finance Committee also received reports from our Chief Compliance Officer on the implementation and effectiveness of our compliance program.

The Audit and Finance Committee discussed with the director of internal audit and independent accountants the plans for their audits. The Audit and Finance Committee met with the director of internal audit and independent accountants, with and without management present. The director of internal audit and independent accountants discussed with or provided to the Audit and Finance Committee the results of their examinations, their evaluations of our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures, and the quality of our financial reporting.

Based on these reviews, discussions and reports, the Audit and Finance Committee recommended that the Board approve the audited financial statements for inclusion in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and the Board accepted the Audit and Finance Committee’s recommendations.

The Audit and Finance Committee, with the approval of the Board and the ratification of our shareholders, appointed PwC as our independent accountants in 2018. In addition, the Audit and Finance Committee approved certain non-audit services provided by PwC and the estimated budget for those services. The Audit and Finance Committee has adopted an Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy.

NARRATIVE TO SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE

Base Salary

The base salaries of our named executive officers were established as part of their employment agreements. The base salary for Ms. Underberg was previously increased to $375,000 effective August 11, 2015. The base salary for Mr. Mahe was increased from SGD 600,000 to SGD 660,000 on June 11, 2018 upon acceptance of the President, Brand, Film and Imaging Division role.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

Pursuant to his amended and restated employment agreement, Mr. Clarke received a grant of stock options under the Eastman Kodak Company 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the Plan) in 2018 with a grant date value of $1 million and an above-market exercise price of $15.00 per share, which were to vest one-third upon the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date. Upon Mr. Clarke’s separation from the Company on February 20, 2019, the first installment vested and the second and third installments were forfeited.

Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Mahe received a grant of equity under the Plan in 2018 with a grant date value of $350,000, with one-half of the grant date value in the form of RSUs and the other half of the grant date value in the form of stock options with an exercise price equal to the closing share price on the grant date, both of which vest one-third upon the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date Mr. Mahe also received a second grant in 2018 upon his acceptance of the President, Brand, Film and Imaging Division role. This grant had a grant date value of $200,000, with one-half of the grant date value in the form of RSUs and the other half of the grant date value in the form of stock options with an exercise price equal to the closing share price on the grant date, both of which vest one-third upon the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date.

Pursuant to her employment agreement and the increased annual award value approved by the Compensation Committee (the Committee) in 2016, Ms. Underberg received a grant of equity under the Plan in 2018 with a grant date value of $500,000, with one-half of the grant date value in the form of RSUs and the other half of the grant date value in the form of stock options with an exercise price equal to the closing share price on the grant date, both of which were to vest one-third upon the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date. Upon Ms. Underberg’s separation from the Company on January 15, 2019, these equity awards were forfeited.

Non-Equity Incentive Compensation

For 2018, we provided an annual variable incentive opportunity, known as Executive Compensation for Excellence and Leadership (EXCEL). We assign target opportunities under EXCEL based on a percentage of base salary, which were determined as part of the named executive officer’s employment agreement. The 2018 full-year EXCEL target opportunity as a percentage of base salary for Messrs. Clarke and Mahe and Ms. Underberg were 100%, 60% and 50%, respectively.

We established three performance gates as part of the EXCEL program: (a) compliance with our financial covenants contained in the September 3, 2013 exit financing arrangements; (b) breakeven cash before debt pay down, including cash from asset sales; and (c) Company Operational EBITDA of at least $65M (after bonus accrual). The performance goals under the EXCEL program

Table of Contents

for 2018 were Operational EBITDA (60% weighting) and Revenue (40% weighting). For the 2018 plan year, the Company also introduced division level metrics to provide greater focus and associated rewards for division performance. All division level metrics were a combination of Operational EBITDA and revenue with varied weightings.

None of our named executive officers earned an EXCEL payment for 2018 because all of the performance gates were not achieved. We complied with the financial covenants contained in the September 3, 2013 exit financing arrangements but did not satisfy the other two performance gates.

For 2018, we approved a new annual incentive program referred to as the Supplemental Bonus Plan. This plan provided incentive opportunities based on the achievement of pre-determined Company financial metrics (40% weighting) and specific deliverables associated with key value drivers (60% weighting). Target annual incentive opportunities under the Supplemental Bonus Plan were identical to the EXCEL program. None of our named executive officers earned a payout under the Supplemental Bonus Plan based on overall Company performance for 2018.

Tax-Qualified Retirement Plans

Employees’ Savings and Investment Plan (SIP)

We offer a tax-qualified 401(k) defined contribution plan known as the Employees’ Savings and Investment Plan (SIP) for all U.S. employees. Employer contributions to SIP were frozen as of January 1, 2015.

Kodak Retirement Income Plan (KRIP)

We fund a tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan known as the Kodak Retirement Income Plan (KRIP) for all U.S. employees. Effective January 1, 2000, we amended KRIP to include a cash balance component. KRIP’s cash balance component covers employees hired before March 1, 1999 who elected that coverage and all new U.S. employees hired on or after March 1, 1999, including Mr. Clarke. Ms. Underberg participated in KRIP’s traditional defined benefit component.

On January 1, 2015, we froze all benefit accruals in the traditional component of KRIP for all participants. Beginning on that date, all future accruals in KRIP are made under the cash balance component for all participating employees in an amount equal to 7% of the employee’s monthly pay, which was previously 4% for cash balance participants. Consequently, accruals for Ms. Underberg after that date were made under that component.

Cash Balance Component

Under KRIP’s cash balance component, a hypothetical account is established for each participating employee and, for every month the employee works, the employee’s account is credited with an amount equal to 7% of the employee’s monthly pay (i.e., base salary and EXCEL awards, including allowances in lieu of salary for authorized periods of absence, such as illness, vacation or holidays). Prior to January 1, 2015, the cash balance component provided a credit of 4% of an employee’s monthly pay. In addition, the ongoing balance of the employee’s account earns interest at the 30-year Treasury bond rate. Before 2015, employees vested in their account balance after completing three years of service. Beginning on January 1, 2015, all active employees were immediately vested. Vested benefits under the cash balance component are payable upon normal retirement (age 65), termination or death. Participants in the cash balance component of the plan may choose from among various forms of benefits such as a lump sum, a joint and survivor annuity and a straight life annuity.

Traditional Defined Benefit Component

Under the traditional defined benefit component of KRIP, which was frozen as of January 1, 2015, benefits are based upon a participating employee’s average participating compensation (APC). The plan defines APC as one-third of the sum of the employee’s participating compensation for the highest consecutive 39 periods of earnings over the 10 years ending immediately prior to the earlier of December 31, 2014, retirement, or termination of employment. Participating compensation is base salary and any EXCEL award, including allowances in lieu of salary for authorized periods of absence, such as illness, vacation or holidays.

For a participating employee with up to 35 years of accrued service, the annual normal retirement income benefit is calculated by multiplying the employee’s years of accrued service by the sum of: (a) 1.3% of APC, plus (b) 1.6% of APC in excess of the average Social Security wage base. For an employee with more than 35 years of accrued service, the amount is increased by 1% for each year in excess of 35 years.

The retirement income benefit is not subject to any deductions for Social Security benefits or other offsets. Participants in the traditional defined benefit component of the plan may choose from among optional forms of benefits such as a straight life annuity, a qualified joint and 50% survivor annuity, other forms of annuity or a lump sum.

An employee may be eligible for normal retirement, early retirement benefits, vested benefits or disability retirement benefits under the traditional defined benefit component depending on the employee’s age and total service when employment with us ends. An employee is entitled to normal retirement benefits at age 65. For early retirement benefits, an employee must have reached age 55 and have at least 10 years of service or, for certain employees, have a combined age and total service equal to 75. Generally, the benefit is reduced if payment begins before age 65.

As of December 31, 2018, none of our named executive officers were eligible for normal retirement benefits under the traditional defined benefit component of KRIP because they were each younger than age 65. Ms. Underberg was eligible for early retirement benefits, as she was age 55 or older with 10 or more years of service.

Non-Qualified Retirement Plans

Ms. Underberg was the only named executive officer eligible to receive benefits under the Kodak Unfunded Retirement Income Plan (KURIP). KURIP was an unfunded retirement plan designed to provide our U.S. employees with pension benefits that (1) made up for the Internal Revenue Code’s (the Code) limitations on allocations and benefits that may be paid under KRIP and SIP, and (2) recognize deferred compensation that is ignored when calculating benefits under KRIP and SIP.

21


Table of Contents

Benefits due under KURIP were payable upon a participating employee’s termination of employment or death. Upon our emergence from bankruptcy, KURIP was terminated and, as a result, each participating employee’s pre-petition benefit was settled in the form of an equity distribution, consistent with treatment for other similarly situated general unsecured creditors, and post-petition benefits were calculated using September 3, 2013 as the hypothetical last day of employment with us. The post-petition benefit is frozen and payable as a lump sum upon the participating employee’s termination of employment with us (less applicable withholding).

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation

None of our named executive officers have non-qualified deferred compensation.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

PROPOSAL 2

PROPOSAL 2 - ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Our named executive officers are identified in the “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement. Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, you are voting on a proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, which gives our shareholders the opportunity to endorse or not endorse our named executive officer pay programs and policies through the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that the shareholders approve the compensation of Eastman Kodak Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

We believe that our executive compensation program is designed to attract, motivate and retain individuals with the skills required to achieve our business objectives. Our compensation strategy is to provide opportunities to incentivize and reward our named executive officers when they deliver defined performance results that are based on success in a diverse set of businesses. We also align the interests of our executives with those of our shareholders and our long-term interests through stock ownership. We believe that the compensation of our named executive officers for 2018 was appropriate and aligned with our performance results and strategic plan.

In order to be approved on an advisory basis, this proposal must receive the affirmative vote of the majority of votes cast by holders entitled to vote thereon. Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding on our Board of Directors. However, our Board values the opinions that our shareholders express in their votes and will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements as it deems appropriate.

The Board of Directors recommends you vote FOR the advisory resolution approving the compensation of our named executive officers.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

INTERESTED TRANSACTIONS

Our Board has adopted written policies and procedures relating to approval or ratification of “interested transactions” with “related parties.” Under these policies and procedures, which are posted on our website at http://investor.kodak.com/supporting.cfm, our Governance Committee reviews the material facts of all interested transactions that require the committee’s approval. The Governance Committee will approve or disapprove the interested transactions, subject to certain exceptions, by taking into account, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether the interested transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction. No director or board observer may participate in any discussion or approval of an interested transaction for which he or she is a related party, other than providing material information concerning the interested transaction to the Governance Committee. If an interested transaction will be ongoing, the Governance Committee may establish guidelines for our management to follow in its ongoing dealings with the related party and then, at least annually, must review and assess ongoing relationships with the related party.

Under the Board’s policies and procedures, an “interested transaction” is any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness), in which the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $100,000, our company is a participant and any related party has or will have a direct or indirect interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity). A “related party” is any person who is or was, since the beginning of the last fiscal year for which we have filed a Form 10-K and proxy statement, a Section 16 Executive Officer, director or nominee for election as a director or board observer (even if the person does not presently serve in that role), a beneficial owner of greater than 5% of our common stock or any immediate family member of any of the foregoing. Immediate family member includes a person’s spouse, parents, stepparents, children, stepchildren, siblings, mothers- and fathers-in-law, sons- and daughters-in-law, brothers- and sisters-in-law and anyone residing in such person’s home (other than a tenant or employee).

The Board has granted standing pre-approval or ratification for the categories of interested transactions described below. In addition, any interested transaction with a related party in which the aggregate amount involved is expected to be less than $120,000 may be pre-approved by the Chair of the Governance Committee. Pre-approved interested transactions include:

Employment of Section 16 Executive Officers either if the related compensation is required to be reported or if the Section 16 Executive Officer is not an immediate family member of another Section 16 Executive Officer or a director, and the related compensation would be reported if the Section 16 Executive Officer was a “Named Executive Officer” and our Executive Compensation Committee approved (or recommended that the Board approve) such compensation.

Any compensation paid to a director if the compensation is required to be reported.

Any transaction with another company with which a related person’s only relationship is as an employee (other than an executive officer), director or beneficial owner of less than 10% of that company’s shares, if the aggregate amount involved does not exceed the greater of $1 million or 2% of that company’s total annual revenues.

Any charitable contribution, grant or endowment by our company to a charitable organization, foundation or university with which a related person’s only relationship is as an employee (other than an executive officer) or a director, if the aggregate amount involved does not exceed the greater of $1 million or 2% of the charitable organization’s total annual receipts.

Any transaction where the related person’s interest arises solely from the ownership of our common stock and all holders of our common stock received the same benefit on a pro rata basis (e.g., dividends).

Any transaction involving a related party where the rates or charges involved are determined by competitive bids.

Any transaction with a related party involving the rendering of services as a common or contract carrier, or public utility, at rates or charges fixed in conformity with law or governmental authority.

Any transaction with a related party involving services as a bank depository of funds, transfer agent, registrar, trustee under a trust indenture or similar services.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT FEES

The following fees were approved by the Audit and Finance Committee and were billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), our independent registered public accounting firm (independent accountants), for services rendered in 2018 and 2017.

Type of Service (in millions) 2018 2017
Audit Fees    $4.50(1) $3.34
Audit-Related Fees 0.00 0.00
Tax Fees 0.02 0.02
All Other Fees 0.01 0.03
Total $4.53 $3.40

(1)

Estimated; subject to finalization.

The audit fees in 2018 and 2017 related primarily to the annual audit of our consolidated financial statements (including Section 404 internal control assessment under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) included in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reviews of interim financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q, and statutory audits of certain of our subsidiaries.

Tax fees in 2018 and 2017 were for tax compliance and consulting services.

All other fees for 2018 and 2017 related to non-audit related compliance services.

POLICY REGARDING PRE-APPROVAL OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY OUR INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

The Audit and Finance Committee has adopted an Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the Pre-Approval Policy) requiring the Audit and Finance Committee’s pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent accountants. The Pre-Approval Policy sets forth principles that must be considered by the Audit and Finance Committee in approving services to ensure that the independent accountant’s independence is not impaired; describes the audit, audit-related, tax and other permissible non-audit services that may be provided and the non-audit services that are prohibited; and sets forth the pre-approval requirements for all permitted services.

The Pre-Approval Policy provides for the general pre-approval of specific types of audit, audit-related, tax and other permissible non-audit services and annual approval of a budget for such services. As set forth in the Pre-Approval Policy, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit and Finance Committee. In addition, any proposed services exceeding pre-approved budgeted amounts will also require specific pre-approval by the Audit and Finance Committee. The independent accountant is required to report quarterly to the Audit and Finance Committee regarding the extent of services provided in accordance with their pre-approval and the fees for the services performed to date. The Pre-Approval Policy also delegates to the Audit and Finance Committee’s Chair the authority to pre-approve specific engagements or changes to engagements when it is not practical to bring the matter before the Committee as a whole. The Audit and Finance Committee may not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent accountant to management or to others.

In 2018 and 2017, the Audit and Finance Committee pre-approved all services performed by PwC.

PROPOSAL 3

PROPOSAL 3 - RATIFICATION OF THE AUDIT AND FINANCE COMMITTEE’S SELECTION OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit and Finance Committee is directly responsible for the selection, compensation, retention, performance and evaluation of our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit and Finance Committee assesses the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm each year. In addition, the Audit and Finance Committee considers the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm each year.

PWC has been our independent registered public accounting firm for many years. After consideration of a number of factors, including the length of time the firm has served in this role, the firm’s past performance, and an assessment of the firm’s qualifications and resources, the Audit and Finance Committee has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm to serve a one-year term beginning on the date of the Annual Meeting.

A representative of PWC is expected to attend the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions and, if he or she desires, make a statement.

As a matter of good corporate governance, the Audit and Finance Committee has determined to submit its selection of the independent registered public accounting firm to our shareholders for ratification. In the event that the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not ratified, the Audit and Finance Committee will review its future selection of an independent registered public accounting firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit and Finance Committee in its discretion may select a different registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders.
