On April 12, 2019, the Company repaid approximately $312 million of the loans made under the Term Credit Agreement using proceeds from the sale of FPD and on May 24, 2019 repaid the remaining outstanding balance of approximately $83 million with the proceeds from the issuance of Convertible Notes described below. 

 

Convertible Notes

On May 20, 2019, the Company and Longleaf Partners Small Cap Fund, C2W Partners Master Fund Limited and Deseret Mutual Pension Trust, which are investment funds managed by Southeastern Asset Management, Inc. (the “Notes Purchasers”), entered into a Notes Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Notes Purchasers, and the Notes Purchasers agreed to purchase from the Company, $100 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.00% Secured Convertible Notes due 2021 (the “Convertible Notes”).  The transaction closed on May 24, 2019.  The proceeds were used to repay the remaining first lien term loans outstanding ($83 million) under the Term Credit Agreement, which was terminated with the repayment.  The remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.  The Notes Purchasers also hold all outstanding shares of the Company’s 5.50% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), which vote with the shares of common stock on an as-converted basis, and are holders of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), as described below.

 

The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum, which will be payable in cash on their maturity date and, at the option of the Company, in either cash or additional shares of Common Stock on any conversion date.  The payment of interest only at the maturity date has the same effect as delivering additional debt instruments to the Holders of the Convertible Notes and therefore is considered Paid-In-Kind interest (“PIK”).  Therefore, PIK will be added to the carrying value of the debt through the term and interest expense will be recorded using the effective interest method.

 

 

 

The maturity date of the Convertible Notes is initially November 1, 2021.  The Company has the option to extend the maturity of the Convertible Notes by up to three years in the event that the Series A Preferred Stock is refinanced with debt or equity or the mandatory redemption date of the Series A Preferred Stock is extended.  If the Convertible Notes maturity date is extended, the new maturity date must be no later than 30 days before the maturity date of any new debt or the extended mandatory redemption date of the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

The Convertible Notes are guaranteed by all of the subsidiaries of the Company that currently guarantee the ABL Credit Agreement (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), and are secured by a second priority lien on certain receivables, inventory and other assets of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in which the lenders under the ABL Credit Agreement have a first priority security interest.

 

Conversion Features

Holders of the Convertible Notes have the right to elect at any time to convert their Convertible Notes into shares of Common Stock at a conversion rate equal to 314.9785 shares of Common Stock per each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (based on a conversion price equal to $3.17482 per share of Common Stock (the “Conversion Price”), which represents a 10% premium to the volume weighted average price of the shares of Common Stock for the five day trading period ended on April 9, 2019 (the “Conversion Rate”)). The Conversion Rate and Conversion Price are subject to certain customary antidilution adjustments.

 

If the closing price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds 150% of the then-effective Conversion Price for 45 trading days within any period of 60 consecutive trading days, with the last trading day of such 60 day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the business day on which the Company issues a press release announcing the mandatory conversion, the Company may elect to convert all outstanding Convertible Notes into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate then in effect.

 

In the event of certain fundamental transactions, the Notes Purchasers will have the right, within a period of 30 days following the occurrence of such transaction (“Holder Fundamental Transaction Election Period”), to elect to either convert all or a portion of the Convertible Notes into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate then in effect, or to receive the shares of a successor entity, if any, or the Company, and any additional consideration receivable as a result of such fundamental transaction. In addition, the Company will have the option, for a period of 30 days after the expiration of the Holder Fundamental Transaction Election Period, to repay all of the remaining outstanding Convertible Notes at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

 

Embedded Derivatives

The Convertible Notes are considered more akin to a debt-type instrument and the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded conversion features and term extension at the Company’s option were not considered clearly and closely related to the Convertible Notes.  Accordingly, these embedded features were bifurcated from the Convertible Notes and separately accounted for on a combined basis at fair value as a single derivative liability.  Kodak allocated $14 million of the net proceeds received to a derivative liability based on the aggregate fair value of the embedded features and term extension on the date of issuance which reduced the net carrying value of the Convertible Notes (refer to Note 24, “Financial Instruments”).

 

The carrying value of the Convertible Notes at the time of issuance, $84 million ($100 million aggregate gross proceeds less $14 million allocated to the derivative liability and $2 million in transaction costs), is being accreted to the face amount using the effective interest method from the date of issuance through the maturity date.

 

Convertible Notes Registration Rights Agreement

At the closing of the issuance and sale of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement which provides the Notes Purchasers with customary registration rights in respect of the shares of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes.

 

Notes Purchasers’ Beneficial Ownership of Common Stock

Prior to the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Notes Purchasers beneficially owned 4,960,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, representing 11.51% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2019, and 2,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which vote with the Common Stock on an as-converted basis representing 26.68% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2019.  The Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock held by the Notes Purchasers represented 30.15% of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the Company as of September 30, 2019 giving effect to the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.  On an as-converted basis, the Convertible Notes would represent 31,497,850 shares of Common Stock, or 42.24% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2019 after giving effect to the issuance and conversion.  Assuming the issuance of the Convertible Notes and based on the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2019, the Notes Purchasers would beneficially own 48.89% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding and their shares of Series A Preferred Stock will vote with the shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis, representing an aggregate of 55.71% of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the Company.

 

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On May 26, 2016, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), Bank of America, N.A., as administrative and collateral agent, and Bank of America, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, which amended and restated the Original ABL Credit Agreement. Each of the capitalized but undefined terms used in the context of describing the ABL Credit Agreement has the meaning ascribed to such term in the ABL Credit Agreement.

 

The Lenders will make available asset-based revolving loans (the “ABL Loans”) and letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $150 million, subject to the Borrowing Base.  The Company has issued approximately $80 million and $85 million of letters of credit under the ABL Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

The ABL Loans bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 2.25% - 2.75% per annum or Base Rate plus 1.25% - 1.75% per annum based on Excess Availability.

 

The ABL Credit Agreement matures on May 26, 2021.

 

Each existing direct or indirect U.S. subsidiary of the Company (other than Immaterial Subsidiaries, Unrestricted Subsidiaries and certain other subsidiaries) has provided an unconditional guarantee (and any such future subsidiaries must provide an unconditional guarantee) of the obligations of the Company under the ABL Credit Agreement.

 

The Company had approximately $20 million and $19 million of Excess Availability under the ABL Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.  Excess Availability is equal to the sum of (i) 85% of the amount of the Eligible Receivables less a Dilution Reserve, (ii) the lesser of 85% of Net Orderly Liquidation Value or 75% of the Eligible Inventory, (iii) the lesser of 75% of Orderly Liquidation Value of Eligible Equipment or $8 million, as of September 30, 2019 (which $8 million decreases by $1 million per quarter) and (iv) Eligible Cash less (a) Rent and Charges Reserves, (b) Principal Outstanding and (c) Outstanding Letters of Credit.  Availability is subject to the borrowing base calculation, reserves and other limitations.

 

Under the ABL Credit Agreement, Kodak is required to maintain a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.00 to 1.00 when Excess Availability is less than 12.5% of lender commitments.  As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 12.5% of lender commitments were $18.75 million. 

 

If Excess Availability falls below 12.5% of lender commitments, Kodak may, in addition to the requirement to be in compliance with the minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, become subject to cash dominion control.  Since Excess Availability was greater than 12.5% of lender commitments at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Kodak is not required to have a minimum Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio of 1.0 to 1.0.

 

As of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, Kodak had funded $14 million and $3 million respectively, to the Eligible Cash account, held with the ABL Credit Agreement Administrative Agent, which is classified as Restricted Cash in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

 

Under the terms of the ABL Credit Agreement, the Company may designate Restricted Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries provided the aggregate sales of all Unrestricted Subsidiaries are less than 7.5% of the consolidated sales of Kodak and the aggregate assets of all Unrestricted Subsidiaries are less than 7.5% of Kodak’s consolidated assets.  Further, on a pro forma basis at the time of designation and immediately after giving effect thereto, Excess Availability must be at least $30 million and the pro forma Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio must be no less than 1.0 to 1.0.  Upon designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries, the Company is required to provide to the Lenders reconciling statements to eliminate all financial information pertaining to Unrestricted Subsidiaries which is included in its annual and quarterly financial statements.

In March 2018, the Company designated five subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries: Kodak PE Tech, LLC, Kodak LB Tech, LLC, Kodak Realty, Inc., Kodakit Singapore Pte. Limited and KP Services (Jersey) Ltd.  This action allowed the Company to better position assets which may be monetized in the future and address costs related to underutilized properties. Collectively, these subsidiaries had sales of approximately $2 million and $9 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, which represents 1% of Kodak’s consolidated sales in both periods.  These subsidiaries had sales of approximately $3 million and $8 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, which represents 1% of Kodak’s consolidated sales for both periods.  These subsidiaries had assets of $20 million and $21 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which represents 1% of Kodak’s consolidated assets as of both periods.

 

Debt Reporting and Other Requirements

Reporting requirements under the ABL Credit Agreement require the Company to provide annual audited financial statements accompanied by an opinion of an independent public accountant without a “going concern” or like qualification or exception and without any qualification or exception as to the scope of such audit or other material qualification or exception, except for any such qualification or exception with respect to any indebtedness maturing within 364 days after the date of such financial statements, and that the opinion be reasonably acceptable to the agent. On March 31, 2019 the Company obtained a waiver from the agent and lenders under the ABL Credit Agreement with respect to any event of default under the reporting covenant that may be deemed to have occurred in relation to the going concern explanatory paragraph in the 2018 Form 10-K audit report.

The Convertible Notes and ABL Credit Agreement limit, among other things, the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ ability to (i) incur indebtedness, (ii) incur or create liens, (iii) dispose of assets, (iv) make restricted payments (including dividend payments, et al.) and (v) make investments (ABL Credit Agreement only).  In addition to other customary affirmative covenants, the Convertible Notes and ABL Credit Agreement provide for a periodic delivery by the Company of its various financial statements as set forth in the Convertible Notes and ABL Credit Agreement. Events of default under the Convertible Notes and/or ABL Credit Agreement include, among others, failure to pay any principal, interest or other amount due under the applicable agreement, failure to deliver conversion shares (Convertible Notes only), breach of specific covenants and a change of control of the Company (ABL Credit Agreement only).  Upon an event of default, the applicable lenders may declare the outstanding obligations under the applicable agreement to be immediately due and payable and exercise other rights and remedies provided for in such agreement.

 

RED-Rochester, LLC

In January 2019 Kodak entered into a series of agreements with RED-Rochester, LLC (“RED”), which provides utilities to the Eastman Business Park.  Kodak received a payment of $14 million from RED. Kodak is required to pay a minimum annual payment to RED of approximately $2 million regardless of utility usage. Kodak is accounting for the $14 million payment from RED as debt. The minimum payments required under the agreement from Kodak to RED will be reported as a reduction of the debt and interest expense using the effective interest method.  The debt payments to RED continue until August 2033.
