Compensation Recoupment (Clawback) Policy
In November 2023, in accordance with NYSE listing standards, the Board adopted our Compensation Recoupment (Clawback) Policy, which provides that we will seek to recover erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation on a no-fault basis received by any current or former executive officer during the three-year period preceding the date on which we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to our material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws. The prior policy was rescinded on a prospective basis for performance periods ending on or after October 2, 2023. A copy of the current policy is posted on our website at https://investor.kodak.com/corporate-governance/supporting-documents.
Restrictions on Hedging and Pledging
Our executive officers and directors are prohibited from engaging in any transactions (such as puts, calls, options or other derivative securities) with respect to our equity securities held by them to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of those equity securities.
Our executive officers and directors are also prohibited from purchasing our equity securities on margin, borrowing against our equity securities on margin or pledging our equity securities as collateral for a loan.
Executive Officer Share Ownership Guidelines
Our executive officers are expected to accumulate certain levels of ownership of our equity securities within five years of first becoming an executive officer, as follows:
| | | | | Holding Requirement | |||||
| Title | | | Target Share Ownership | | | Before Target Met | | | After Target Met |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CEO | | | 5X base salary | | | 50% of net-settled shares | | | None |
| Executive Vice President | | | 3X base salary | | |||||
| Senior Vice President | | | 2X base salary | | |||||
| Vice President and Other Officers | | | 1X base salary | | |||||
The holding requirement does not pertain to grants already received at the time of the adoption of the guidelines or to grants of equity awards made in satisfaction of EXCEL or other variable pay programs.
If an executive officer receives a promotional salary increase, the Committee may extend that executive officer’s time to meet the ownership guidelines by one year, at its discretion.
Tax Considerations
Tax rules generally limit the deductibility of compensation paid to each of our current and former NEOs to $1 million per year. The Committee retains the discretion to pay compensation that may not be tax deductible.
Say-On-Pay
At our 2023 annual meeting of shareholders, we held an advisory vote on our compensation program for our NEOs, commonly referred to as the say-on-pay vote, which resulted in 97% of the votes cast approving our compensation program for our NEOs. We evaluated the results of this vote as part of our overall assessment of our compensation program for our NEOs. Based on this overall assessment and the strong support expressed by our shareholders, we did not make any related material changes to our compensation program for our NEOs in 2023.
At our 2020 annual meeting of shareholders, we recommended, and our shareholders approved, an annual frequency for the say-on-pay vote. After considering that recommendation, the Board determined that the say-on-pay vote will be held annually until the next required vote on the frequency of the say-on-pay vote to be held at our 2026 annual meeting of shareholders.
