Mr. Lloyd has extensive expertise in imaging and printing technologies, stemming from his 31-year career at Hewlett-Packard Company where he was
group vice president and CTO for consumer imaging and printing. In his career at HP, Mr. Lloyd held a variety of positions in product development and
research both in the U.S. and Japan. During his tenure in Japan (from 1990 until 1993) he directed the establishment of a branch of HP Laboratories.
Prior to joining Hewlett-Packard, he spent 7-years in the aerospace industry, where, among other things, he served as the project manager for the com-
munications antenna on the Apollo Command and Service Module used in the lunar landing program.
Antonio M. Perez
Since joining the Company in April 2003, Kodak’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Antonio M. Perez, has led the worldwide transformation of Kodak
from a business based on film to one based primarily on digital technologies. In the past three years, Kodak introduced an array of new disruptive digital
technologies and products for consumers, from inkjet printers to CMOS sensors for digital cameras and mobile phones. During this same period, Kodak
built a new profitable commercial printer business with $3.6 billion in revenue. As a result, in 2006, a new Kodak began to emerge – for the first time in
history more than 50 percent of Kodak revenue came from digital products, and the growth of Kodak’s digital earnings exceeded the decline of traditional
earnings.
Mr. Perez brings to the task his experience from a 25-year career at Hewlett-Packard Company, where he was a corporate vice president and a member
of the company’s Executive Council. As President of H-P’s Consumer Business, Mr. Perez spearheaded the Company’s efforts to build a business in
digital imaging and electronic publishing, generating worldwide revenue of more than $16 billion.
Prior to that assignment, Mr. Perez served as President and CEO of H-P’s inkjet imaging business for five years. During that time, the installed base of
H-P’s inkjet printers grew from 17 million to 100 million worldwide, with revenue totaling more than $10 billion.
After H-P, Mr. Perez was President and CEO of Gemplus International, where he led the effort to take the company public. While at Gemplus, he trans-
formed the company into the leading Smart Card-based solution provider in the fast-growing wireless and financial markets. In the first fiscal year, revenue
at Gemplus grew 70 percent, from $700 million to $1.2 billion.
Frank S. Sklarsky
Mr. Sklarsky joined Kodak on October 30, 2006 as Executive Vice President, and became the Chief Financial Officer effective November 13, 2006.
Mr. Sklarsky is responsible for worldwide financial operations, including Financial Planning and Analysis, Treasury, Audit, Controllership, Tax, Investor
Relations, Aviation, and Corporate Mergers & Acquisitions. He is also responsible for the Global Shared Services organization and the Worldwide Informa-
tion Systems organization.
Prior to joining Kodak, Mr. Sklarsky was Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of ConAgra Foods Inc., one of North America’s leading
packaged food companies. At ConAgra, he implemented a new financial organization, significantly strengthened the balance sheet, and played a major
role in building credibility with the investment community. He also helped expand profit margins at the $14 billion company. In his 26-year career, he has
developed a reputation for improving the financial operations, as well as the overall financial performance, of the companies he has served.
Prior to joining ConAgra in 2004, Mr. Sklarsky was Vice President, Product Finance, at DaimlerChrysler, a position he held between 2001 and 2004. He
returned to DaimlerChrysler to assist with the company’s turnaround efforts after spending more than one year as Vice President, Corporate Finance, and
Vice President of Dell’s $5 billion consumer business. He first joined DaimlerChrysler in 1983 and held a series of increasingly responsible finance posi-
tions before leaving for Dell in 2000. At the time of his departure for Dell, he was DaimlerChrysler’s Vice President, Corporate Financial Activities, and also
had financial responsibility for procurement, product quality, cost management and worldwide manufacturing during his tenure. Prior to DaimlerChrysler,
Mr. Sklarsky, a certified public accountant, served as a Senior Accountant with Ernst & Young International from 1978 to 1981.
Diane E. Wilfong
Ms. Wilfong was appointed Corporate Controller and Chief Accounting Officer, Eastman Kodak Company in September 2006. She began her Kodak
career in July 1999, as Director – Finance and Vice President, Kodak Professional Division. In late 2000, she was named Assistant to the Chairman and
President and Chief Executive Officer, where she served the Chairman’s office in an executive capacity until early 2003. At that time, she took an operat-
ing line position as General Manager, Graphics and Printing Systems SPG, in the Commercial Imaging Group (now Graphic Communications Group). In
mid-2005, Ms. Wilfong was appointed Director, Corporate Audit.
Prior to joining Kodak, Ms. Wilfong was Chief Financial Officer of Corning Asahi Video Products of Corning Incorporated, in Corning, New York. Ms.
