The PPACA -How Employers Plans are Affected
Employers don’t have to offer/continue retiree plans–No Change
Employers must offer Plans to Active Employees or pay penalties
Plans to comply with Patients Bill of Rights
Employers Providing Plans for Retirees age 55-64 get a subsidy of 80% of the cost of individual claims between $15,000 and $90,000
Employers Providing Prescription Drug Plans will continue to receive a 28% subsidy but now must count it as taxable income.
1-12-2010 45
1-12-2010 46
The PPACA - How Retiree-Only Plans are Affected# Protections Non-Retiree Only Plans Retiree Only Plans 2704. Prohibits use of pre-existing conditions Applies Doesn’t Apply
2708. Prohibits Excessive Wait Periods Applies Doesn’t Apply
2711 Prohibits Lifetime or Annual limits Applies Doesn’t Apply
2712. Prohibits denials for high claims or health Applies Doesn’t Apply
2714 Extends dependent coverage to age 26 Applies Doesn’t Apply
2715. Mandates Uniform Coverage & Definitions Applies Doesn’t Apply
2718. Mandates Bringing Down Cost of Health Care Applies Doesn’t Apply
1-12-2010 47
How Medicare Eligible Retirees are Affected If you’re in an HMO, most likely you are in that HMO’s Medicare Advantage Plan, if not you’re in Traditional MedicareTraditional Medicare
Free Annual physicals added in 2011Free Mammograms added in 2011Free Colonoscopies added in 2011Coordination of care if hospitalized or have chronic problems 10% fee increases for 5-yrs - primary care Doctors & surgeons
Tricare for Veterans – According to Defense Secretary Gates, Tricare meets requirements of new law, no changes planned.
1-12-2010 48
How Medicare Advantage Plans are AffectedInsurance companies subsidies paid since 1/1/2006 are being phased out in the 2010-2013 period. This will affect 22% of all Medicare eligible participants. Health club memberships may be dropped, premiums and co-pays have been and will continue to go up. Subsidies were paid for by the 78%; from Medicare Trust.
Cutting subsidies saves $180 B over 10 yrs. The CBO projects that this money and other Medicare savings will be used to enhance other Medicare benefits and will extend the solvency of the Medicare Trust by nearly a decade. Since funds won’t be needed until later, some savings will be “loaned” via Treasury bills to pay Non-Medicare expenses such as for the uninsured.1-12-2010 49
Who Pays for PPACA and How Much? Higher income taxes on ordinary income, capital gains and dividends – affects taxpayers earning more than $250,000 for joint filers and $200,000 for single filers2013 - New 3.8% Surtax on Investment Income, the "Unearned Income Medicare Contribution”- affects those earning more than $250,000, joint filers and $200,000 for single filers pay on
interest, dividends, royalties, rents, gross income from trade or business involving passive activities, and net gain from disposition of property (other than property held in a trade or business)Increased Payroll Tax on High Earners – In 2013, the Medicare payroll tax will increase from 1.45 percent to 2.35 percent for joint filers making > $250,00; $200,000 for single filers.1-12-2010 50

Three Roads for Eastman Kodak
1. Remain independent under current or evolutional management
2. Sale in a “going private” transaction
3. Bankruptcy
Insights. Investments. Income.
© 2010 Brighton Securities Corp.
Trajectory is not encouraging
i. Sales down 46% from 2005 peak of $14.2 billion (source: S&P)
ii. Transition from chemical to digital technology has not yet provided consistent profits. Profits over the last 10 years amount to 12 basis points on aggregate sales (source: S&P)
Kodak Remains Independent
Insights. Investments. Income.

Kodak’s debt rated CCC by S&P, Caa1 by Moody’s
i. S&P: “Currently vulnerable and dependent on favorable business, financial and economic conditions to meet financial commitments”
ii. Moody’s: “Obligations rated Caa are judged to be of poor standing and are
subject to very high credit risk”
Similarly rated companies include Rite Aid, Denney’s, MGM Resorts (Paetec is rated slightly higher)
Bankruptcy?
Insights. Investments. Income.
© 2010 Brighton Securities Corp.
Kodak has $7 billion in annual sales but the total market value for its stock (market cap) is only $1.1 billion.
i. Compare sales/mkt cap:Xerox $15 bil./$15 bil.Harris $5 bil./$6 bil.
Going-private transaction
Insights. Investments. Income.
© 2010 Brighton Securities Corp.
Possible scenario
i. Kodak is acquired at a 50% premium to current market cap: $1.65 billion ($6.20/sh.)
ii. Sale of Graphic Comm. Group (GCG) at a 30% discount to annual sales of $2.5 bil. would recoup purchase cost.
Going-private transaction con’t.
Insights. Investments. Income.

Possible scenario con’t.
i. Consumer Digital Group (CDG) dismantled and sold to pay long term debt of $1.2 bil. Amount that could be realized is in question here .
ii. Film, Photofinishing and Entertainment Group (FPEG) will see profits of perhaps $100 million this year on sales of $2 billion, making the transaction profitable.
Going-private transaction con’t.
Insights. Investments. Income.

Pension and other long-term liabilities are $3.5 bil. – and raise questions whether this scenario can work.

Kohlberg Kravis & Roberts & Co. (KKR)
a. Past deals include LBOs of Safeway, Duracell, RJR Nabisco, HCA
b. Holds warrants that if converted would make KKR the single largest holder at 16.5%
c. KKR tends to acquire rather than sit on the sidelines – possible they would exercise warrants and sell stock instead.
Possible Acquirer
Insights. Investments. Income.
© 2010 Brighton Securities Corp.
a. Despite current negative net worth, bankruptcy is not a high probability
b. If KKR can make the numbers work they will seek a transaction
c. No deal from KKR means the company will continue on.
i. FPEG’s steeper slide will mean less cash flow.
1. Motion picture films has suffered recent steeper than expected declines due to popularity of 3D movies
Summary
Insights. Investments. Income.
© 2010 Brighton Securities Corp.
ii. CDG is not yet poised to return the company to profitability
1. Good products but highly competitive markets and thin profit margins make this a difficult space in which to compete.
iii. GCG should see a profit recovery as we emerge from recession.
Summary Con’t.
