01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Eastman Kodak Company ("Kodak") with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 25, 2024 (the "Signing Form 8-K"), on November 20, 2024 the Kodak Retirement Income Plan Trust (the "Trust"), in its capacity as holder of assets for the benefit of the Kodak Retirement Income Plan ("KRIP"), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") with Mastercard Foundation (the "Buyer"). The information contained in the Signing Form 8-K under Item 1.01 and the first two paragraphs under Item 8.01 is incorporated by reference in this Current Report, and capitalized terms not defined herein have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Signing Form 8-K. Pursuant to the Agreement, on December 31, 2024 the Trust sold to the Buyer (the "Mastercard Closing") KRIP Illiquid Assets having an aggregate net asset value as of the Reference Date of $752.8 million and received effective gross purchase price proceeds of $540.6 million, all of which have been received. All KRIP Illiquid Assets contemplated to be sold pursuant to the Agreement were sold and transferred at the Mastercard Closing (the reduction from the amounts reported in the Signing Form 8-K is due to the failure of two private equity partnership interests to transfer because in one case the required consent of the applicable general partner could not be obtained on acceptable terms and in the other case another limited partner in the fund exercised a right of first refusal). Also on December 31, 2024, pursuant to the Other Agreements the Trust sold to four other investors (together with the Mastercard Closing, the "Closings") KRIP Illiquid Assets having an aggregate net asset value as of the Reference Date of $87.3 million and received effective gross purchase price proceeds of $61.7 million, all of which proceeds have been received except for $9.0 million of cash
01 Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events. Following the Closings, the Trust continues to hold KRIP Illiquid Assets having a net asset value of $169.4 million as of September 30, 2024. With respect to the Hedge Fund Assets held by KRIP and reported in the Signing Form 8-K as having a net asset value of $917.2 million as of September 30, 2024, KRIP has received aggregate distribution or redemption payments of $56.7 million during October and November 2024, after which the Hedge Fund Assets had a net asset value of $870.2 million as of November 30, 2024. Subsequent to November 30, 2024 and through December 31, 2024, KRIP has received additional aggregate distribution or redemption payments of $106.4 million with respect to the Hedge Fund Assets. The net asset value of the Hedge Fund Assets as of December 31, 2024 is not yet available.
