. Kodak utilizes cash balances outside the U.S. to fund needs in the U.S. through the use of intercompany loans.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, outstanding intercompany loans to the U.S. were $483 million and $460 million, respectively, which included short-term intercompany loans from Kodak’s international finance center of $208 million and $173 million, respectively. In China, where approximately $29 million of cash and cash equivalents was held as of both December 31, 2024 and 2023, there are limitations related to net asset balances that may impact the ability to make cash available to other jurisdictions in the world. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Company is permitted to invest up to $60 million (or $75 million after the Deleveraging Milestone Date) in Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Loan Parties and in joint ventures or Unrestricted Subsidiaries that are not party to the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement.

The Company’s Hong Kong subsidiary has an intercompany loan from one of the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries with a maturity date of November 16, 2024, the proceeds of which were in turn loaned to the Company. The terms of the intercompany loan were modified during the fourth quarter of 2024 to extend the maturity date to November 16, 2026 and for the Company to make efforts to repay the outstanding loan balance prior to maturity. The prior intercompany loan agreement provided for it to be repaid over two years in four equal $20 million installments, the first of which was due by November 16, 2023 with the remaining installments due in 2024. The Company paid $2 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $10 million in the second quarter of 2024 towards the first $20 million installment. The outstanding amount of the intercompany loan as of December 31, 2024 was $68 million. The Company is evaluating repayment alternatives for the current loan agreement which would allow Kodak and its subsidiaries to perform their obligations to each other while minimizing the impact on U.S. liquidity taking into account requirements imposed by Chinese regulators. Any amounts repaid to the Chinese subsidiary may not be able to be loaned, repatriated or otherwise moved back to the U.S., in which case the Company’s U.S. liquidity would be reduced. 

During the third quarter of 2023
