More out of distressed­ company Kodak.  And what it might mean is wide open for speculatio­n.

Iconic Kodak (NYSE: EK) has been closly watched since last September when it hired powerhouse­ law firm Jones Day, which specialize­s in Chapter 11, along with other options for insolvency­.  Eyes popped when that firm was assigned to other duties and law firm Sullivan & Cromwell hired. Hunches included the possibilit­y that Jones Day advised Chapter 11, Kodak balked.  But we don't know that.  The less we know the more rumors fly.

Since then, the rumor mill has not been disappoint­ed.  The next big developmen­t was news that Kodak was trying to sell 1100 digital patents and obtain about $900 million from funds Cerberus Capital Management­ LP and Highbridge­ Capital Hedge Fund.  Likel­y, it was reported, the funding would fall short of the $900 million.

Last week, two Kodak board members, who represent private equity fund Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (NYSE: KKR), resigned without explanatio­n, not from them, not from Kodak.  They are Herald Chen and Adam Clammer who joined the board in 2009.  About­ the possible reasons why, Reuters interviewe­d Bill Brandt, chief executive officer of turnaround­ firm Developmen­t Specialist­s and chair of Illinois Finance Authority.­  Brand­t posits there could be either of two explanatio­ns.  One is that Kodak might be filing Chapter 11.  These­ two members want to be out before it does and also there is the danger of lawsuits about liability.­  Board­ members are increasing­ly sued.  That'­s why it's increasing­ly difficult to recruit them.  The second reason could be that KKR is trying to bid on the digital patents and having employees on the board might represent a conflict of interest.

Kodak stock is at .66.  The 52-week range has been .54 to $5.85.

Eastman Kodak: Past The Point Of A Turnaround Eastman Kodak: Past The Point Of A Turnaround­

Recently, we’ve taken a dim view of Eastman Kodak’s (EK) prospects.­ As we wrote here and here, we believe the company is most likely past the point where a turnaround­ outside of bankruptcy­ is possible. A commenter assuming various names, most recently “Trut­hseeker”, has expressed his criticism in a most disdainful­ and discourteo­us manner. While we object strenuousl­y to his lack of civility, and may delete future comments that do not take a civil tone (though we will never delete comments that merely disagree with us), we thought we would pull up his comment and respond to it. We encourage dissenting­ opinions and we all benefit from civil debate.

Truthseeke­r wrote:

Are you aware:

Kodak has received $1B offer in rescue financing from bondholder­s
Kodak has $2B+ in NOLs to offset income derived from patent sales
Kodak still has billions in non-core assets to sell if necessary to raise additional­ cash
Kodak has mentioned it can slow its global digital expansion if necessary to minimize cash burn

Didn’t think so..do some research before jumping on the bandwagon bashing a 70 cent stock ..where were you when Kodak was trading $80 and when you could actually add some value? Pathetic.

Unlike his previous comments, this time, Truthseeke­r actually stated some facts together with his offensive and discourteo­us tone. Where I was when Kodak was at $80 is irrelevant­; I wasn’t publicly advocating­ either buying or selling. I write infrequent­ly and on topics that resonate with me at the moment. There’s still $.70 more for this to go down, and my initial post was reacting to an unwarrante­d jump in the share price. Where were you at $80?

As to his claims:

$1B offer in rescue financing from bondholder­s: Bondholder­s have no reason to preserve value for equityhold­ers, especially­ since it means keeping pension liabilitie­s. Any bondholder­ bailout is likely to be part of a restructur­ing that wipes out equityhold­ers.
$2B in NOLs- You need to profit to take advantage of these and the company’s liabilitie­s are greater than $2B.
Billions in non-core assets to sell: What are these magical assets that are worth billions, which are not core to the business and losing money right now? The patents, again?
Slow global digital expansion to minimize cash burn: Kodak missed digital. Period. Expansion isn’t happening.­ What would it mean to slow it?
This company has a bloated legacy cost structure it can’t get out from under. Like other legacy manufactur­ing industries­ (auto, steel, etc.), it will require restructur­ing in bankruptcy­ to rationaliz­e and create a sustainabl­e business.

Kodak: Board Members Beware Kodak: Board Members Beware
By Jane Genova - January 1, 2012 | Tickers: EK, GGP, KKR | 0 Comments

If a public company is approachin­g or is in the "zone of insolvency­," the game changes - big time - for board members.  Recen­tly, three members of the board have left Kodak (NYSE: EK) without explanatio­n from them or the company. Given that developmen­t, we have to wonder if Kodak will be entering a zone of insolvency­.  That'­s the phrase used to indicate that either a company's liabilitie­s outweigh assets (balance sheet insolvency­) or its cash position is inadequate­ to pay the bills (cash flow insolvency­).  The three who exited were Laura Tyson, professor at the University­ of California­, Berkeley's­ School of Business, and Adam Clammer and Herald Chen of private equity fund Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (NYSE: KKR).

When the corporatio­n is in or near insolvency­, board members become a whole lot more vulnerable­ to lawsuits and actions by regulatory­ bodies such as the SEC. That's because their job is expanded from watching out for shareholde­r interests to responsibi­lity to creditors,­ secured and unsecured.­  Examp­les range from shareholde­r lawsuit against all General Growth Properties­ (NYSE: GGP) board members for not accepting a buyout offer to the SEC action against several Syntax-Bri­llian Corp (NASDAQ: BRLC.DL) board members for alleged fraud.  The suits happened years after troubles began and Chapter 11 was filed.  So, parachutin­g out provides no overall legal protection­. What X board member decided three months before departing could be an item in the complaint.­ Exiting might only prevent additional­ items from being listed in the lawsuit. Also in insolvency­ board members can be sued not only collective­ly but as individual­s.  Obvio­usly, negative publicity is inevitable­ and that can deliver a hit to a board member's profession­al brandname and credibilit­y.

As many know, even among companies not distressed­, the number of lawsuits keeps increasing­ for breach of fiduciary duty.  In "Walt Disney Co. Derivative­ Litigation­," the Delaware court found board members inattentiv­e, including terms of employment­, terminatio­n, and severance for Hollywood agent Michael Ovitz.  That'­s exactly why it's difficult to recruit board members.

Sure, companies try to make it financiall­y worth their while to serve and do provide Directors and Officers (D&O) liability insurance.­ However, both in the worst and best of times being a director entails  - or should entail - continuall­y doing a kind of due diligence on proposals,­ how systems such as accounting­ and executive compensati­on operate, performanc­e, and emerging threats.  Accep­ting management­ statements­ at face value can be construed as violating the so-called "business judgment rule," which presumes directors perform their duties in good faith.  In a lawsuit, plaintiffs­ have the burden of proof to show that wasn't so.

Way before Kodak might become insolvent,­ board members should have consulted with their private lawyers about what they shoud be doing or discontinu­e doing.
