 those arrangements are linked to fluctuations in US treasury rates and would not hedge against changes to the difference between the discount rates used to value KRIP’s liabilities and US treasury rates (i.e., the credit spread) or non-interest rate factors that may influence the amount of KRIP’s liabilities.

After KRIP’s liabilities and applicable legal requirements have been satisfied, KRIP’s surplus assets would revert to Kodak as the settlor of KRIP subject to an excise tax. Based on current assumptions, Kodak estimates KRIP would have surplus assets of between $750 million and $900 million after the satisfaction of KRIP’s liabilities. The actual amount of surplus assets available after the satisfaction of KRIP’s liabilities will be affected by the actual amount paid to satisfy KRIP’s liabilities, the return on KRIP’s assets during the period over which KRIP’s assets are liquidated and its liabilities satisfied (the “Liquidation Period”), the degree to which KRIP’s hedging strategy is effective in hedging fluctuations in the amount of KRIP’s liabilities during the Liquidation Period, the amounts realized from Hedge Fund Assets in the course of their redemption during the Liquidation Period, the amounts realized from distributions from or any sale of remaining KRIP Illiquid Assets during the Liquidation Period, the value of Hedge Fund Assets or KRIP Illiquid Assets held in the portfolio at the time of reversion, actuarial experience on plan liabilities during the Liquidation Period, the duration of the Liquidation Period, and the costs associated with the termination and liquidation process.

In order to reduce the amount of the surplus assets subject to excise tax and to reduce the rate of the excise tax from 50% to 20%, Kodak expects that it would direct the transfer of or otherwise contribute 25% of the surplus assets (which may include all or a significant portion of remaining non-cash assets) to the Kodak Cash Balance Plan (the “Replacement Plan”). After the capitalization of the Replacement Plan and the payment of the 20% excise tax on the remaining surplus, Kodak projects it would receive proceeds from KRIP having a value of between $450 million and $540 million. Kodak believes no material amount of income tax would be owed on this amount due to available tax attributes. In addition to the proceeds received by Kodak from KRIP, the Replacement Plan is projected to have assets having a value of between $190 million and $225 million which would allow Kodak to provide valuable benefits to its current employee
