Series A Preferred Stock

 

On November 15, 2016, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $200 million, or $100 per share, pursuant to a Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with Southeastern Asset Management, Inc. (“Southeastern”) and Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund, C2W Partners Master Fund Limited and Deseret Mutual Pension Trust, which are investment funds managed by Southeastern (such investment funds, collectively, the “Purchasers”), dated November 7, 2016.  The Company classified the Series A Preferred Stock as temporary equity in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.  

 

Repurchase and Exchange Agreement

On February 26, 2021 the Company entered into a Series A Preferred Stock Repurchase and Exchange Agreement (the “Repurchase and Exchange Agreement”) with Southeastern and the Purchasers.  The Company repurchased one million shares of the Series A Preferred Stock under the terms of the Repurchase and Exchange Agreement for $100,641,667, representing the liquidation value of the Series A Preferred Stock plus accrued and unpaid dividends. In addition, the Company and the Purchasers agreed to exchange the remaining one million shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by the Purchasers for shares of the Company’s newly created 4.0% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) on a one-for-one basis plus accrued and unpaid dividends of $641,667.  The exchange of shares of Series A Preferred Stock for shares of Series B Preferred Stock is a noncash financing activity.

 

Embedded Conversion Features

Kodak allocated $43 million of the net proceeds from the issuance of the Series A Stock to a derivative liability based on the aggregate fair value of the embedded conversion features on the date of issuance, which reduced the net carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock (see Note 20, “Financial Instruments”).  The carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock at the time of issuance, $155 million ($200 million aggregate gross proceeds less $43 million allocated to the derivative liability and $2 million in transaction costs), was being accreted to the mandatory redemption amount using the effective interest method to Additional paid in capital in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as a deemed dividend from the date of issuance through the mandatory redemption date, November 15, 2021.  

 

Extinguishment of Series A Preferred Stock

The carrying value, including the fair value of the embedded derivative liability, of the Series A Preferred Stock prior to extinguishment approximated $203 million.  Upon repurchase and exchange of the Series A Preferred Stock, Kodak recorded $8 million as a deemed dividend to Additional paid in capital in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, representing the difference between the fair value of consideration transferred and the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Dividend and Other Rights  

The holders of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled to cumulative dividends payable quarterly in cash at a rate of 5.50% per annum.  

 

Series B Preferred Stock

 

The fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock at the time of issuance approximated $95 million. The Company has classified the Series B Preferred Stock as temporary equity in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

 

Dividend and Other Rights

On February 25, 2021, the Company filed with the Department of Treasury of the State of New Jersey a Certificate of Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Series B Certificate of Designations”) which established the designation, number of shares, rights, preferences and limitations of the Series B Preferred Stock which became effective upon filing.  The Series B Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Common Stock and pari passu with the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution.  The Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $100 per share, and the holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends payable quarterly in cash at a rate of 4.0% per annum.  If dividends on any Series B Preferred Stock are in arrears for six or more consecutive or non-consecutive dividend periods, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to nominate one director at the next annual shareholder meeting and all subsequent shareholder meetings until all accumulated dividends on such Series B Preferred Stock have been paid or set aside.  The Company declared the quarterly cash dividends for the first quarter of 2021 in March 2021, which were paid in April 2021.  Holders of Series B Preferred Stock will have certain limited special approval rights, including with respect to the issuance of pari passu or senior equity securities of the Company.

 

Conversion Features

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of each holder at any time, into shares of Common Stock at the initial conversion rate of 9.5238 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series B Preferred Stock (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $10.50 per share of Common Stock). The initial conversion rate and the corresponding conversion price will be subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments.  If a holder elects to convert any shares of Series B Preferred Stock during a specified period in connection with a fundamental change (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designations), such holder can elect to have the conversion rate adjusted and can elect to receive a cash payment in lieu of shares for a portion of the shares. Such holder will also be entitled to a payment in respect of accumulated dividends. In addition, the Company will have the right to require holders to convert any shares of Series B Preferred Stock in connection with certain reorganization events in which case the conversion rate will be adjusted, subject to certain limitations.

 

The Company will have the right to cause the mandatory conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock if the closing price of the Common Stock has equaled or exceeded $14.50 (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the conversion price) for 45 trading days within a period of 60 consecutive trading days.

 

Embedded Conversion Features

The Company concluded that the Series B Preferred Stock is considered more akin to a debt-type instrument and that the economic characteristics and risks of the conversion option upon a fundamental change by the holder was not considered clearly and closely related to the Series B Preferred Stock.  Accordingly, this embedded conversion feature was bifurcated from the Series B Preferred Stock and separately accounted for at fair value as a derivative.  The Company allocated $1 million to the derivative liability based on the aggregate fair value of the embedded conversion feature on the date of issuance which reduced the original carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock.  The derivative is being accounted for at fair value with subsequent changes in the fair value being reported as part of Other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock embedded derivative as of March 31, 2021 was a liability of $1 million and is included in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.  Refer to Note 20, “Financial Instruments” for information on the valuation of the derivative.

 

The carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock at the time of issuance, $93 million ($95 million fair value of Series B Preferred Stock on February 26, 2021 less $1 million allocated to the derivative liability and $1 million of transaction costs) is being accreted to the mandatory redemption amount using the effective interest method to Additional paid in capital in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as a deemed dividend from the date of issuance through the mandatory redemption date, May 28, 2026.

 

Redemption Features

If any shares of Series B Preferred Stock have not been converted prior to May 28, 2026 (the “Redemption Date”), the Company is required to redeem such shares at $100 per share plus the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends.  As the Company concluded that the Series B Preferred Stock is considered more akin to a debt-type instrument, the redemption feature is considered to be clearly and closely related to the host contract and therefore was not required to be separated from the Series B Preferred Stock.  

Series C Preferred Stock

 

Purchase Agreement

“Series C Preferred Stock”), for a purchase price of $100 per share, representing $100 million of gross proceeds to the Company. The initial issuance and sale of 750,000 shares ($75 million gross proceeds) closed on February 26, 2021, and the final issuance and sale of the remaining 250,000 shares ($25 million gross proceeds) closed on March 30, 2021 after expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act.  The Investor is a fund managed by Grand Oaks Capital.  The Company intends to use the proceeds from the sale of the Series C Preferred Stock for general corporate purposes including the funding of growth initiatives. The Company has classified the Series C Preferred Stock as temporary equity in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

If dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock are not declared and paid for any given fiscal quarter, the liquidation preference is automatically increased by the amount of such unpaid dividends. Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will also be entitled to participate in any dividends paid on the Common Stock (other than stock dividends) on an as-converted basis, with such dividends on any shares of the Series C Preferred Stock being payable upon conversion of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock to Common Stock. The Company declared the quarterly “in-kind” dividend for the first quarter of 2021 in March 2021 and issued additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock in April 2021.

 

Holders of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of the Common Stock as a single class, in each case, on an

as-converted basis, except where a separate class vote is required by law. Holders of Series C Preferred Stock will have certain limited special approval rights, including with respect to the issuance of pari passu or senior equity securities of the Company.

Such holder will also be entitled to a payment in respect of accumulated dividends and a payment based on the present value of all required remaining dividend payments through May 28, 2026, the mandatory redemption date. Such additional payments will be payable at the Company’s option in cash or in additional shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Company will have the right to require holders to convert any shares of Series C Preferred Stock in connection with certain reorganization events in which case the conversion rate will be adjusted, subject to certain limitations.

 

The Company will have the right to cause the mandatory conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock (i) at any time after February 26, 2023 if the closing price of the Common Stock has equaled or exceeded 200% of the then-effective conversion price for 45 trading days within a period of 60 consecutive trading days, or (ii) at any time after February 26, 2024 if the closing price of the Common Stock has equaled or exceeded 150% of the then-effective conversion price for 45 trading days within a period of 60 consecutive trading days.

 

Embedded Conversion Features

The Company concluded that the Series C Preferred Stock is considered more akin to a debt-type instrument and that the economic characteristics and risks of the conversion option upon a fundamental change by the holder is not considered clearly and closely related to the Series C Preferred Stock.  Accordingly, this embedded conversion feature was bifurcated from the Series C Preferred Stock and separately accounted for as a derivative.  The Company allocated $2 million of the net proceeds received to the derivative liability based on the aggregate fair value of the embedded conversion features on the dates of issuance which reduced the original carrying value of the Series C Preferred Stock.  The derivative is being accounted for at fair value with subsequent changes in the fair value being reported as part of Other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The fair value of the Series C Preferred Stock derivative as of March 31, 2021 was a liability of $2 million and is included in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.  Refer to Note 20, “Financial Instruments” for information on the valuation of the derivative.

 

The carrying value of the Series C Preferred Stock at the time of issuance, $97 million ($100 million aggregate gross proceeds less $2 million allocated to the derivative liability and $1 million in transaction costs) is being accreted to the mandatory redemption amount using the effective interest method to Additional paid in capital in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as a deemed dividend from the date of issuance through the mandatory redemption date.

 

Redemption Features

If any shares of Series C Preferred Stock have not been converted prior to the Redemption Date, the Company is required to redeem such shares at $100 per share plus the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends thereon; provided that the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock have the right to extend such redemption date by up to two years.  As the Company concluded that the Series C Preferred Stock is considered more akin to a debt-type instrument, the redemption feature is considered to be clearly and closely related to the host contract and therefore was not required to be separated from the Series C Preferred Stock.
