Kodak shares plunge after US blocks US$765 million loan deal

REUTERS: Shares of Eastman Kodak Co fell about 40per cent on Monday and were on track for their worst single-day decline after the U.S. government blocked a US$765 million loan to the company, which was going to make drug ingredients for use in possible COVID-19 vaccines, because of “alleged wrongdoing” by executives.
