The company will pay $950 per $1,000 in notes for notes tendered by 5 p.m. ET on Feb. 11, the early tender deadline. It will pay $910 per $1,000 in notes for any notes tendered after that deadline. Accrued interest will be paid up to but excluding the settlement date.

Kodak said it is making the offer because of recently improved conditions in the debt markets that may allow it to extend the maturity of existing debt and improve its capital structure.
