NYSE Opening Bell Ringing Signifies the ‘New Kodak’

NEW YORK—With nearly 60 customers from across the nation in attendance, Kodak President and CEO Antonio Perez rang the opening bell on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) Wednesday morning to celebrate Kodak’s recent relisting.

Following the company's emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization on Sept. 3, Kodak common shares actually began trading on the NYSE Nov. 1 under the new "KODK" symbol. The new, smaller Kodak has shed the cameras, film sales and consumer photo developing that made it a household name, instead focusing on digital printing technology for graphic arts industry customers, touch-screen sensor components for smartphones and computer tablets, and film for the movie industry.
