APPENDIX฀D:฀DIRECTORS’฀CODE฀OF฀CONDUCT
The฀Board฀of฀Directors฀of฀Eastman฀Kodak฀Company฀has฀adopted฀this฀Directors’฀Code฀of฀Conduct฀to฀guide฀the฀directors฀in฀recognizing฀and฀addressing฀ethi-
cal฀issues฀and฀in฀ensuring฀that฀their฀activities฀are฀consistent฀with฀the฀Company’s฀values฀of:฀฀
฀ •฀respect฀for฀the฀dignity฀of฀the฀individual,
฀ •฀uncompromising฀integrity,
฀ •฀trust,
฀ •฀credibility,
฀ •฀continuous฀improvement฀and฀personal฀renewal฀and
฀ •฀recognition฀and฀celebration.
The฀Code฀is฀intended฀as฀a฀source฀of฀guiding฀principles,฀since฀no฀code฀or฀policy฀can฀anticipate฀every฀situation฀that฀may฀arise.฀Directors฀with฀questions฀about฀
the฀Code’s฀application฀to฀particular฀circumstances฀are฀encouraged฀to฀discuss฀the฀issue฀with฀the฀Company’s฀Compliance฀Officer฀or฀with฀the฀Chair฀of฀the฀
Audit฀Committee฀of฀the฀Board฀of฀Directors.
Compliance฀with฀Laws฀and฀Company฀Policies
Directors฀are฀expected฀to฀comply฀with฀applicable฀laws฀and฀Company฀policies,฀and฀to฀monitor฀legal฀and฀ethical฀compliance฀by฀the฀Company’s฀officers฀and฀
other฀employees.฀฀
Conflicts฀of฀Interest
Directors฀must฀avoid฀any฀conflicts฀of฀interest฀with฀the฀Company.฀A฀“conflict฀of฀interest”฀exists฀when฀a฀director’s฀personal฀or฀professional฀interest฀is฀adverse฀
to,฀or฀may฀appear฀to฀be฀adverse฀to,฀the฀interests฀of฀the฀Company.฀Conflicts฀of฀interest฀may฀also฀arise฀when฀a฀director,฀or฀members฀of฀his฀or฀her฀family,฀or฀
an฀organization฀with฀which฀the฀director฀is฀affiliated,฀receives฀improper฀benefits฀as฀a฀result฀of฀the฀director’s฀position.฀Any฀situation฀that฀involves,฀or฀may฀
involve,฀a฀conflict฀of฀interest฀must฀be฀promptly฀disclosed฀to฀the฀Company’s฀Compliance฀Officer฀or฀the฀Chair฀of฀the฀Audit฀Committee.
Corporate฀Opportunities
Directors฀owe฀a฀duty฀to฀the฀Company฀to฀advance฀its฀legitimate฀interests.฀Directors฀may฀not฀take฀for฀themselves฀personally฀or฀for฀other฀organizations฀with฀
which฀they฀are฀affiliated฀opportunities฀discovered฀through฀the฀use฀of฀Company฀property,฀information฀or฀position.฀No฀director฀may฀compete฀with฀the฀Com-
pany฀or฀use฀Company฀property,฀information฀or฀position฀for฀improper฀personal฀gain.
Competition฀and฀Fair฀Dealing
Directors฀shall฀endeavor฀to฀deal฀fairly฀with฀the฀Company’s฀customers,฀suppliers,฀competitors฀and฀employees฀and฀shall฀oversee฀fair฀business฀dealing฀by฀the฀
Company’s฀officers฀and฀employees.฀No฀director฀should฀take฀unfair฀business฀advantage฀of฀anyone฀through฀manipulation,฀concealment,฀abuse฀of฀privileged฀
information,฀misrepresentation฀of฀material฀facts฀or฀any฀other฀intentional฀unfair฀dealing.
The฀purpose฀of฀business฀entertainment฀and฀gifts฀in฀a฀commercial฀setting฀is฀to฀create฀goodwill฀and฀sound฀working฀relationships,฀not฀to฀gain฀unfair฀advan-
tage฀with฀customers.฀Directors฀and฀members฀of฀their฀immediate฀families฀may฀not฀accept฀gifts฀from฀outside฀persons฀or฀entities฀when฀the฀gifts฀are฀made฀in฀
order฀to฀influence฀the฀director’s฀action฀as฀a฀member฀of฀the฀Board,฀or฀where฀acceptance฀of฀the฀gifts฀could฀create฀the฀appearance฀of฀impropriety.
Confidentiality
Directors฀must฀maintain฀the฀confidentiality฀of฀information฀entrusted฀to฀them฀by฀the฀Company฀or฀its฀customers,฀and฀any฀other฀information฀which฀comes฀to฀
them฀about฀the฀Company,฀except฀when฀disclosure฀is฀authorized฀or฀legally฀required.฀Confidential฀information฀includes฀all฀non-public฀information฀that฀might฀
be฀of฀use฀to฀competitors,฀or฀harmful฀to฀the฀Company฀if฀disclosed.
Protection฀and฀Proper฀Use฀of฀Company฀Assets
Directors฀must฀protect฀the฀Company’s฀assets฀and฀ensure฀their฀efficient฀use.฀Directors฀must฀not฀use฀Company฀time,฀employees,฀supplies,฀equipment,฀
buildings฀or฀other฀assets฀for฀personal฀benefit,฀unless฀the฀use฀is฀approved฀in฀advance฀by฀the฀Chair฀of฀the฀Audit฀Committee฀or฀is฀part฀of฀a฀compensation฀or฀
expense฀reimbursement฀program฀available฀to฀all฀directors.
Encouraging฀the฀Reporting฀of฀Any฀Illegal฀or฀Unethical฀Behavior
Directors฀should฀promote฀ethical฀behavior฀and฀take฀steps฀to฀ensure฀that฀the฀Company:฀a)฀encourages฀employees฀to฀talk฀to฀supervisors,฀managers฀and฀
other฀appropriate฀personnel฀when฀in฀doubt฀about฀the฀best฀course฀of฀action฀in฀a฀particular฀situation;฀b)฀encourages฀employees฀to฀report฀violations฀of฀laws,฀
rules,฀regulations฀or฀the฀Company’s฀Business฀Conduct฀Guide;฀and฀c)฀informs฀employees฀that฀the฀Company฀will฀not฀permit฀retaliation฀for฀reports฀made฀in฀
good฀faith.
