Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:KODK) today issued the following statement in response to the New York Attorney General:
“This morning the New York Attorney General filed an application in
New York state court seeking investigative testimony
and documents from Kodak. Prior to this filing,
the Company repeatedly offered to make witnesses available and the Attorney General repeatedly declined.
It is telling that she has now chosen to publicly seek this order
asking for the very testimony in which she previously had no interest.
Mr. Continenza was not in possession of material non-public
information and, contrary to the Attorney General’s allegations,
his small stock purchase was
pre-approved by Kodak’s General Counsel during an open trading window
in accordance with Kodak’s insider trading policy and was subsequently found to be compliant by outside counsel in an independent investigation. Importantly,
Mr. Continenza has purchased Kodak stock in virtually every open window period – and has never sold a single share.
In addition to being wrong on the facts,
the Attorney General’s novel and highly problematic legal theory
that seeks to impose liability in the absence of intent would have a chilling effect on directors and executives of every public company,
who could never invest in their own companies without fear of having good-faith decisions, pre-approved by counsel, second-guessed by regulators and charged as insider trading.
We are confident that the facts and the law are on our side and are prepared to present our case in court if there becomes a need to do so.”
