Verizon Wireless, for which he served as President and CEO until being
named to his current position with the company.

M. Perez, Kodak's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Denny is widely
recognized as one of the most prominent architects of the wireless

network in the U.S. while leading Ameritech's Mobile Communications
business, and during his leadership at Verizon Wireless, increased the
company's revenue by nearly 121 percent. Denny will bring a depth of
experience to the board in an industry that is increasingly relevant to
Kodak."

administration from Canisius College, and his MBA from Fairleigh
Dickinson University. He began his career with New York Telephone and

positions at Ameritech Mobile Communications, Bell Atlantic, and Bell
Atlantic Global Wireless, where he was named president and CEO in 1991.

       Mr. Strigl is past chairman of the Board of Directors of the
Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association, and serves on the
boards of directors of Verizon Wireless, Anadigics Inc., PNC Financial
Services Group and PNC Bank. He also serves as chairman of the Board of
