Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
|
On October 19, 2010, the Board of Directors of Eastman Kodak Company (“the Company") approved an amendment to Article 8, Section 2(b) of the Company's by-laws to authorize the Company, to the full extent authorized or permitted by law, to advance expenses and indemnify and hold harmless against liabilities Company employees who are named as a party to or threatened to be made a party to any legal action by reason of the fact that the employee was serving at the request of the Company or authorized representative of the Company.
Prior to this amendment, Article 8, Section 2(b) provided that authorization from the Board of Directors was required before Company management could advance expenses and indemnify or hold harmless Company employees. The Board of Directors approved the amendment to allow the Company to provide more expeditiously for indemnification and advancement of expenses for employees named or threatened to be named in a legal proceeding as a result of the performance of their responsibilities for the Company.
A copy of the amended and prior versions of Article 8, Section 2 of the Company's by-laws is attached as Exhibit (99.2).
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
(d) Exhibits
