On July 8, 2005, Eastman Kodak Company ("Kodak") refinanced indebtedness outstanding under its 364-day revolving credit facility, which expired on its stated termination date of July 8, 2005. The $1 billion indebtedness, originally incurred to finance Kodak's acquisition of Creo Inc., was refinanced under Kodak's existing five-year revolving credit facility as a eurodollar loan with a three-month interest period at a rate of 4.31%. Kodak anticipates that the indebtedness will be refinanced with longer-term debt at a later date. The $1.225 million five-year credit facility will expire on July 13, 2006, and all amounts borrowed under the facility are payable on that date. Kodak also has issued approximately $135 million in letters of credit under the facility. Interest on amounts borrowed is payable from time to time, generally at the end of the applicable interest period. Kodak's obligations under the credit agreement would be accelerated upon certain bankruptcy or insolvency events, and may be accelerated upon the occurrence of other events of default under the credit agreement, such as non-payment of principal, interest or fees when due, or failure to comply with affirmative and negative covenants. The five-year credit agreement, as amended, is an exhibit to Kodak's 2004 Form 10-K, incorporated by reference to the Eastman Kodak Company Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 6, 2003, as filed on October 7, 2003, Exhibit 4E. 3 SIGNATURE Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
