Eastman Kodak (KODK) Director Jason Griffin Defers 16,393 Shares; Receives 12,726 RSUs
What Happened
- Jason Griffin, a director of Eastman Kodak Company, reported that on May 19, 2026 he deferred 16,393 vested restricted stock units (RSUs) into 16,393 shares of phantom stock under the company's Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors (reported as a disposition to the issuer and an acquisition of a derivative). On May 20, 2026 he was granted 12,726 RSUs (derivative). All reported transactions show $0.00 per share and $0 total — these were equity awards/deferrals, not open-market trades.
Key Details
- Transaction dates and types: 5/19/2026 — disposition to issuer of 16,393 shares @ $0.00 (in exchange for phantom stock) and acquisition of 16,393 derivative shares @ $0.00; 5/20/2026 — grant/acquisition of 12,726 RSUs @ $0.00.
- Value/price: $0.00 per share; no cash changed hands (compensation/deferral transactions).
- Filing: Form 4 filed 2026-05-21 covering transactions dated 5/19–5/20/2026 (filed within the usual 2-business-day window).
- Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing details.
- Notable footnotes: F1–F2 — the 16,393 vested RSUs were deferred into phantom stock (each phantom share equals one common share and becomes payable, at the director’s election, in the year after separation in a lump sum or up to 10 annual installments). F3 — the 12,726 RSUs were granted under the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan and generally vest the day before the 2027 annual shareholders meeting. F4 — notes an option has fully vested as of the report date (no exercise reported).
Context
- These transactions are compensation/deferral actions, not purchases or sales in the market. The deferral converts vested RSUs into a payable phantom-share right that pays out post-separation per plan terms; the new RSU grant vests in 2027 (per footnote). Such awards are common for board compensation and do not by themselves indicate a buy/sell signal.

Footnotes (4)
- [F1]These restricted stock units convert into common stock on a one-for-one basis. Upon vesting on 5/19/2026, Mr. New deferred the receipt of 16,393 shares of common stock and received instead 16,393 shares of phantom stock pursuant to the terms of the Eastman Kodak Company Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors (the "Plan"). As a result, Mr. New is reporting the disposition of 16,393 shares of common stock in exchange for an equal number of shares of phantom stock under the Plan.
- [F2]Each share of phantom stock represents a right to receive one share of common stock and becomes payable at the election of Mr. New in the year following the year of his separation from service as a director in either a single lump sum payment or in a maximum of ten annual installments.
- [F3]These restricted stock units, which convert into common stock on a one-for-one basis, were granted under the Company's 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended, in a transaction exempt under Rule 16b-3 and, except as otherwise provided in the award notice, vest on the day immediately preceding the Company's 2027 annual meeting of shareholders.
- [F4]This option has fully vested as of the date of this report.
