Eastman Kodak (NYSE: KODK) details 2026 virtual meeting, executive pay and equity plan votes
Eastman Kodak Company is soliciting votes for its 2026 virtual annual shareholder meeting, where investors will elect seven directors, approve executive pay on an advisory basis, set the frequency of future say-on-pay votes, amend the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan, and ratify Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditor.
The proxy also highlights 2025 business results, including revenue of $1.069 billion, up $26 million, and gross profit of $232 million with margins improving from 19% to 22%. It details director independence, board committee structure, CEO James V. Continenza’s new employment agreement through 2030, and performance-based incentive plans linking management compensation to EBITDA and business unit revenue.

Insights
Kodak’s proxy centers on routine governance, pay, and plan updates.
Eastman Kodak’s proxy seeks shareholder approval on five key items: re-electing seven directors, advisory votes on executive pay and its frequency, amending the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan, and ratifying Ernst & Young LLP as auditor. The board recommends approval on all items, including a one-year say-on-pay cycle.
Governance provisions emphasize NYSE-aligned independence standards, majority voting for uncontested director elections, mandatory resignation letters tied to failed majorities, and restrictions on hedging and pledging company stock. The company continues with a combined Chair/CEO role but uses independent director executive sessions for oversight.
Compensation remains heavily performance-linked. 2025 revenue reached $1.069 billion with gross profit of $232 million and margin expansion from 19% to 22%. CEO pay includes a $1,000,000 salary in 2025, rising to $1,200,000 from January 1, 2026, annual incentives, and performance stock units tied to multi-year Annual Plan goals. A new five‑year CEO agreement and updated pension structure (KRIP termination and KCBP adoption) formalize longer-term leadership and retirement arrangements without signaling an immediate strategic shift.

There will not be a physical meeting location, and you will not be able to attend in-person.

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

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, |
Q. | Who can vote? |
A. | You must be a shareholder of record or a beneficial owner as of the close of business on March 23, 2026, the record date for the Annual Meeting (Record Date), to be eligible to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. |
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 new vote by internet or telephone; |

• | Sending a timely, written notification of revocation to Roger W. Byrd, Secretary, at our principal executive office. |
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 Fourth Amended and Restated By-Laws, as amended (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 2026 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. | ||||

TABLE OF CONTENTS
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. However, because this is an advisory vote, the results of the vote are not binding on the Board or our Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee who value the opinions expressed by our shareholders in their votes on this proposal. The outcome of the vote will be taken under advisement by the Board and the Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee in future consideration and development of our compensation practices. | ||||
Proposal 3 – Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Future Advisory Votes on the Compensation of our Named Executive Officers | The frequency that receives the most votes cast at the Annual Meeting by holders entitled to vote thereon will be approved on an advisory basis. However, because this is an advisory vote, the results of the vote are not binding on the Board or our Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee who value the opinions expressed by our shareholders in their votes on this proposal. The outcome of the vote will be taken under advisement by the Board and the Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee in future consideration and development of our compensation practices. | ||||
Proposal 4 – Approval of the Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan | 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 5 – Ratification of the Audit and Finance Committee’s Selection of Ernst & Young 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 votes “FOR” and “AGAINST” will impact the outcome of the vote. For Proposal 1, abstentions are not counted and will not impact the outcome of the vote. Broker non-votes are not counted and will not impact the outcome of the vote. |
Q. | Who will count the vote? |
A. | Computershare will count the votes. A representative from Computershare will serve as the inspector of election. |

Q. | How can I ask questions during the Annual Meeting? |
A. | Shareholders participating in the Annual Meeting may, after entering the 15-digit control number on your proxy card or Notice of Internet Availability, submit questions during the Annual Meeting.

Q. | What is the procedure to nominate someone to the Board in 2027? |
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 Compensation, Nominating and Governance 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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Compensation Element | Objective | Key Features | ||||||
Base Salary | Provide a regular source of income to our NEOs to compensate them for fulfilling the regular duties and responsibilities of their positions. | We typically review base salaries annually, but do not automatically increase salaries. Rather, base salaries are adjusted only if deemed appropriate by us in consideration of: (1) experience; (2) responsibilities; (3) the importance of the position relative to our other senior management positions; (4) external relative scope or changes in the competitive marketplace; and (5) years elapsed since the last base salary change. Any change in an executive’s base salary will affect an executive’s target opportunity under our annual variable pay plan and severance benefits, which are based on a percentage of base salary. | ||||||
Annual Variable Pay (Bonus) | Drive the annual performance of our NEOs to align their financial interests with our business strategy and the interests of our shareholders. | Annual variable pay is considered at risk. Payouts generally are based on a formula that represents results achieved against performance metrics. | ||||||
Long-Term Incentives(restricted stock units, performance stock units and stock options) | Align executive compensation with shareholder interests; create incentives for executive retention; encourage long-term performance; and promote stock ownership. | Our long-term incentives are mainly in the form of equity-based compensation awards, which tie our NEOs’ wealth creation to the performance of our stock and provide a retention incentive with multi-year vesting schedules. | ||||||

• | To identify our median employee, as permitted by the de minimis exception in Item 402(u), we excluded from our overall employee population the employees located in the following countries, which consisted of 170 employees in total: Austria (3); Denmark (3); Netherlands (7); Poland (8); Spain (20); Sweden (4); Switzerland (5); UAE (5); Brazil (16); Australia (18); Hong Kong (4); India (28); Malaysia (2); New Zealand (3); Singapore (18); South Korea (22); and Thailand (6).From our adjusted employee population, we compared the amount of base salary plus bonus and sales incentive from January 1, 2025 through September 30, 2025. We did not prorate the compensation of part-time employees or newly hired employees for this period. For an employee located outside the U.S. who was compensated using non-U.S. currency, we converted the employee’s compensation to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect on October 1, 2025. We did not make any cost-of-living adjustments. |

(1) | Our Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee (the Committee) reviews a variety of Company-wide and individual factors, as well as peer practices, when considering compensation actions with respect to our executive officers. Any equity award issuances over the five most recently completed fiscal years have been made in the form of PSUs, RSUs or stock options with vesting dependent upon continued employment and the compensation value ultimately realized by our executive officers remains subject to significant variation over time (e.g., forfeiture of unvested awards prior to vesting, variation in stock price prior to award monetization). Prior to fiscal year 2025, all compensation issued by us during the four most recently completed fiscal years had been pursuant to contractual obligations. In 2025, we implemented the Management Bonus Plan for the Functional Group (MPF) and an individual bonus plan for Dr. Taber. Both plans used specific financial metrics – MPF used annual Company EBITDA and Dr. Taber’s used annual AM&C revenue. |
