Creo Announces Status of Regulatory Applications

Vancouver, BC, Canada (March 29, 2005) – Creo Inc. (NASDAQ: CREO; TSX: CRE) issued an update on the status of various regulatory applications prior to today’s annual and special meeting of shareholders. Shareholders will vote later today to approve the proposed acquisition of Creo by Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE: EK) and the resolution to waive the application of the company’s shareholder rights plan to the transaction. At the meeting, shareholders will also vote on the re-election of the 10 current members of the Creo board of directors and appointment KPMG LLP as the company’s auditor for the next year. The meeting will be held in Burnaby, B.C. Voting results will be filed with the Canadian and United States securities regulators later today.

Kodak and Creo have made the required regulatory filings in connection with the transaction in Canada (February 23, 2005), the U.S. (February 24, 2005), Israel (March 15, 2005), China (February 24, 2005), South Africa (March 29, 2005) and Brazil (February 18, 2005). The parties are currently engaged in the customary pre-filing procedures with the European Commission and expect to shortly make a formal filing. A preliminary filing with the European Commission was made on March 9, 2005.

On March 22, 2005, Creo was advised by the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (the “DoJ”) that the DoJ had obtained clearance to open an informal investigation of the transaction. On March 28, 2005, the DoJ issued to Creo and Kodak a request for additional information and materials (the “Second Request”). Consequently, the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 did not expire on March 28, 2005, but will expire 30 days after both Creo and Kodak have complied with the Second Request, unless early termination of the waiting period is granted.

On March 29, 2005, the companies received approval from the Canadian competition authorities in the form of a “no action” letter. The Senior Deputy Commissioner of Competition issued the letter in respect of the proposed transaction, which indicates that he is of the view that there are not sufficient grounds to initiate proceedings before the Canadian Competition Tribunal. The parties continue to work toward obtaining all required regulatory approvals and completing the transaction in the summer of 2005.

This news release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

These risks and uncertainties include the following: (1) the announcement of the transaction to enter into an arrangement agreement with Eastman Kodak Company on January 31, 2005 may disrupt some of our customer or supplier relationships which may adversely affect future results; (2) new markets and product introductions do not proceed as planned and may adversely affect future revenues; (3) technological changes or changes in the competitive environment may adversely affect the products, market share, revenues or margins of the business; and (4) changes in general economic, financial or business conditions may adversely affect the business or the markets in which it operates. These risks and uncertainties as well as other important risks and uncertainties are described under the caption “Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results” and elsewhere in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and other documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and which are incorporated herein by reference. We do not assume any obligation to update the forward-looking information contained in this news release.
