Eastman Kodak Co. selected nine people to serve on its new board after it emerges from bankruptcy, including six new members, the Wall Street Journal reported today. Rochester, N.Y.-based Kodak sought chapter 11 protection in January 2012. Since then, it has been working to sell assets and shed unprofitable business lines to reorganize around its commercial-imaging business, which includes digital printers and motion-picture film. The new board members will be Mark S. Burgess, chairman of packaging-products manufacturer Clondalkin Group; Matt Doheny, president of investment firm North Country Capital LLC; John Janitz, chairman of investment firm Evergreen Capital Partners LLC; George Karfunkel, chairman of consultancy Sabr Group; Jason New, senior managing director of private-equity firm Blackstone Group L.P. and Derek Smith, managing principal of investment firm BlueMountain Capital Management.
