Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On September 17, 2009, Eastman Kodak Company (the "Company"), Kodak Canada Inc.
and certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (the
"Amendment") to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 31,
2009, (as so amended, the "Credit Agreement"), with the lenders party thereto
(the "Lenders") and Citicorp USA, Inc., as agent (the "Agent").
Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company is permitted to incur additional senior
debt in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $700,000,000 (plus any
increase in the principal amount thereof by the amount of any interest that is
paid in kind) on the terms and conditions set forth in the Amendment (the
"Permitted Senior Debt"), and the guarantors under the Credit Agreement are
permitted to guarantee the Permitted Senior Debt. One of the conditions that
must be satisfied for the new debt to constitute Permitted Senior Debt is that
the covenant, default, remedy and similar provisions, and mandatory prepayment,
repurchase, redemption and similar provisions, in each case, must be on market
terms (or on terms that are no less favorable to the Company than market terms)
for similar issuances of debt by issuers with similar creditworthiness as the
Company at the time of the issuance or incurrence of such Permitted Senior Debt
(as reasonably determined by the Company).
The Company and the guarantors under the Credit Agreement are permitted to grant
a second priority lien on their assets to secure the additional Permitted Senior
Debt and guarantees thereof, subject to an intercreditor agreement.
The Company will be required to deposit the net proceeds from the issuance of
Permitted Senior Debt into a cash collateral account, up to an aggregate amount
equal to the then outstanding principal amount of the Company's 3.375% Senior
Convertible Notes due 2033, which amounts may be used, so long as no event of
default or specified default then exists, to satisfy such notes (with any excess
after the repayment of such notes being available to repay the Credit Agreement
obligations or for general corporate purposes).
The foregoing description of the Amendment in this report is a summary only and
is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Amendment, which is attached
hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and incorporated herein by reference.
