Laboratoires Kodak continue to reorganize their operations in France



Paris, September, 7 - Laboratoires Kodak announced they will present their
employee representative committee with a project of Job Safeguard Plan
("Plan de Sauvegarde de l'Emploi" - PSE) as part of the transfer of the
laboratories manufacturing operations, leading to the closure of
laboratories in Caudan (33 employees), Poitiers (42 employees), Seclin (58
employees), Ville (25 employees) and Vitrolles (61 employees). The
production will be transfered towards the 6 laboratories of the group that
still exist in France. Employee representative committee will be presented
the project on September 15, specifying that the above mentioned labs will
cease operation at the end of 2004.
The JSP project for all the employees working on these sites provides
relocation opportunities allowing them to end up their work agreement in
another laboratory of the Kodak group. Also, a reassignment unit will be
quickly set up and Kodak will give priority to pre retirement.


Current market context

This action is driven by a fundamental, structural change in the imaging
industry worldwide: consumer preferences are changing and demand for
traditional products like film and paper has fallen with the rise of
digital photography. Faced with this transition, Eastman Kodak Company
announced their increased focus on digital products on a global basis, as
of September 2003. Reaffirmed by Dan Carp, Chief Executive of Eastman
Kodak Company, on January 22, 2004, this new strategy requires new
investment priorities and a global program to reduce worldwide employment
between 12-15,000 people over three years.

The decline of the traditional film business caused a significant decrease
of revenues in France, where the demand for processing services in
laboratories dropped by almost 45% within 15 months: film processing and
traditional picture printing.

In addition, development of digital photography, where Kodak is one of the
market leaders and enjoying much success, does not fully compensate for
the decline in the traditional photography market. Digital products are
much less people and capital intensive than the manufacture and processing
of most traditional products.

Kodak strategy is in line with a global commitment to help maintain the
high scope and quality of Kodak professional and consumer products and
services. Eastman Kodak Company is committed to maintaining its strong
growth in the digital market. In 2004 the group achieved the number four
position as a global leader of the digital camera market and ranked second
in the United States.
