Q. Where can I view the proxy materials on the internet?
A. This Proxy Statement, the form of proxy and voting instructions are being made available to shareholders on or about April 1,
2010, at www.envisionreports.com/ek. Our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K is being made available at the same time and
by the same method. The Annual Report on Form 10-K is not to be considered as a part of the proxy solicitation material or as
having been incorporated by reference.
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 at (866) 641-4276;
Internet at www.envisionreports.com/ek; or
E-mail at investorvote@computershare.com. Reference “Proxy Materials Order” on the subject line. In the message,
include your full name, address, and the number located in the shaded bar on the Notice, 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 Kodak shareholders hold their shares through a broker or other nominee (beneficial ownership) rather than directly in their
own name (shareholder of record). As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those
owned beneficially.
Shareholder of Record. If your shares are registered in your name with Kodak’s transfer agent, Computershare Trust
Company, N.A., you are considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record, and these proxy materials are being
made available directly to you by Kodak. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to give your voting proxy to Kodak
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 these proxy materials are being made available to you together with a voting instruction
card on behalf of your broker, trustee or nominee. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, trustee or
nominee on how to vote your shares and 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 at
the Annual Meeting. Due to a change in New York Stock Exchange rules, your broker cannot vote your shares without
your instructions. If you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will not be voted or counted on several
important matters. In order for your shares to be voted, you must either: 1) obtain a legal proxy that gives you the right to vote
the shares at the Annual Meeting or 2) provide voting instructions to your broker.
Q. Will any other matter be voted on?
A. We are not aware of any other matters you will be asked to vote on at the Annual Meeting. If you have returned your signed
proxy card or otherwise given the Company’s management your proxy, and any other matter is properly brought before the
Annual Meeting, Antonio M. Perez and Patrick M. Sheller, acting as your proxies, will vote for you 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. There are four ways to vote, if you are a shareholder of record:
By internet at www.envisionreports.com/ek. We encourage you to vote this way.
By toll-free telephone: (800) 652-VOTE (8683).
By completing and mailing your proxy card.
By written ballot at the Annual Meeting.
Your shares will be voted as you indicate. If you return your signed proxy card or otherwise give the Company’s management
your proxy, but do not indicate your voting preferences, Antonio M. Perez and Patrick M. Sheller will vote your shares FOR Items
1, 2, 3 and 4. As to any other business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting, Antonio M. Perez and Patrick M.
Sheller will vote in accordance with their best judgment, although the Company does not presently know of any other business.
Beneficial Owner. If you are a beneficial owner, please follow the voting instructions sent to you by your broker, trustee or
nominee.
