Kodak stock jumped Tuesday after it found a lot of cash—in the company’s pension plan. Monday, Kodak said its pension plan sold “illiquid” assets worth about $764 million for about $551 million. It’s selling some other assets listed at $87 million for $62 million.

Eastman Kodak Co. is making changes to its pension plan, including selling some of its assets and possibly terminating the plan.

Eastman Kodak has begun taking steps to end its $3.5 billion pension plan, agreeing to sell private-equity and other illiquid assets attached to it.

Kodak stands to gain more than a half-billion dollars if the current pension plan is terminated, due to a surplus in the fund. Company officials said the changes would also 'preserve and protect' the retirement benefits of current participants in the plan.
