Davis Polk Advises Citigroup in Connection with Eastman Kodak Company’s Debtor-In-Possession Credit Facilities

Davis Polk is advising Citicorp North America, Inc. as administrative agent and collateral agent, and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as sole lead arranger and bookrunner, for the $950 million debtor-in-possession credit facility for Eastman Kodak Company. The credit facilities were approved by a final order entered by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on February 16, 2012.

 
The credit agreement, which became effective on an interim basis on January 20, 2012, provides for a $700 million term loan facility (of which $400 million was funded on the effective date and used in part to prepay outstanding loans under a prepetition credit facility agented by Bank of America, N.A.) and a $250 million asset-based revolving credit facility. The balance of the term loan facility was approved in the final order from the Bankruptcy Court.
