Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Eastman Kodak (KODK) insider affiliates reported a large preferred stock purchase. On December 5, 2025, Kennedy Lewis–managed funds purchased an aggregate 1,000,000 shares of Kodak’s 4.0% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock from several third-party sellers in privately negotiated deals at $101.50 per share. The preferred stock carries a $100 per share liquidation preference and pays 4.0% cumulative annual cash dividends, payable quarterly.

Each preferred share is convertible into 9.5238 shares of Kodak common stock, subject to antidilution adjustments, but an agreed 4.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation restricts conversions that would push any fund’s beneficial ownership above that threshold, unless the fund changes this limit with at least 61 days’ notice. The preferred shares are redeemable by Kodak on a date tied to the fifth anniversary of February 26, 2021, and may also be mandatorily converted to common stock if Kodak’s common share price meets a specified trading-price condition.

Insights

Large director-affiliated funds bought existing convertible preferred from third parties; no new capital raised, but exposure and potential conversion dynamics are clarified.

The filing shows several Kennedy Lewis-managed funds buying an aggregate 1,000,000 shares of Eastman Kodak’s 4.0% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock on 12/05/2025 at $101.5 per share in private transactions from third-party sellers. This preferred carries a $100 per-share liquidation preference and a cumulative dividend of 4.0% per year, payable quarterly in cash. Each preferred share is convertible into 9.5238 common shares, so the position represents a significant potential common-stock equivalent, though the shares already exist and are not newly issued.

Conversions are subject to a 4.99% “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” per fund, which restricts any single fund (with its affiliates and group members) from going above that common-stock ownership level unless it gives at least 61 days’ prior written notice. The preferred is convertible at any time at the holder’s option (within that limit) and is also subject to mandatory redemption by the company 91 days after the fifth anniversary of 02/26/2021, at liquidation value plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The company can also trigger mandatory conversion into common if its common stock meets the stated price and trading-day conditions.

Control and voting power over these positions run through multiple entities—funds, general partners, and holding companies—with Darren Richman and David Chene identified as effective control persons, and Mr. Richman serving on the issuer’s Board. Others are deemed “directors by deputization” under Section 16 due to this board representation. Key items to monitor over the next few years are any notices to adjust the 4.99% ownership cap, any exercise of the issuer’s right to force conversion if the stock-price condition is met, and the mandatory redemption timing tied to the fifth anniversary of 02/26/2021.
