WASHINGTON, January 19, 2012 — Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation released the following statement today on the bankruptcy filing by Kodak Corporation: "Kodak's U.S. pension plans are reasonably well funded and we want to make sure they stay that way.

The plans are 86% funded, with about $4.9 billion in assets to cover about $5.6 billion in benefits.
