GE HealthCare Distribution Ratio
Frequently Asked Questions As of January 4, 2023
On November 30, 2022, GE announced that, to effect the separation of GE HealthCare, GE’s Board of Directors approved a distribution to GE shareholders of 80.1% of the outstanding shares of GE HealthCare. Holders of GE common stock will be entitled to received one share of GE HealthCare common stock for every three shares of GE common stock held on December 16, 2022, the record date for the distribution. The distribution occurred after U.S. market close on January 3, 2023. The distribution was part of a tax-free spin-off, resulting in tax efficiency for GE shareholders in the United States. The distribution was subject to certain conditions described in the registration statement on Form 10 filed by GE HealthCare.
What is the timing of the planned spin-offs?
GE executed the tax-free spin-off of GE HealthCare after market close on January 3, 2023, and its common stock began trading on January 4th. GE Vernova, GE’s portfolio of energy businesses, is expected to follow in early 2024. Following this second planned spin-off, GE would be an aviation-focused company called GE Aerospace.
What is the GE HealthCare spin-off?
The spin-off is the method by which GE HealthCare separated from GE. In this spin-off, GE distributed to its stockholders approximately 80.1% of the outstanding shares of GE HealthCare common stock. Holders of GE common stock received one share of GE HealthCare common stock for every three shares of GE common stock held as of the close of business on the record date, December 16, 2022. Following the spin-off, GE HealthCare became an independent, publicly traded company, and GE retained approximately 19.9% of the outstanding shares of GE HealthCare common stock.
What is the exchange and ticker symbol that GE HealthCare trades under?
After the spin-off, shares of GE HealthCare are listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the ticker symbol “GEHC.”
What did GE stockholders receive in the spin-off?
Following the spin-off of GE HealthCare, each holder of GE common stock received one share of GE HealthCare for every three shares of GE common stock held as of December 16, 2022, the record date for the distribution.
Did the number of shares of GE common stock I own change as a result of the spin-off of GE HealthCare?
No, the number of shares of GE common stock you own did not change as a result of the GE HealthCare spin-off. Unless you sold or otherwise disposed of your shares of GE common stock, your balance before and after the spin-off is the same.
Did the separation affect the trading price of my GE stock?
The trading price of shares of GE common stock immediately following the planned spin-off is expected to be lower than the trading price immediately prior to the planned spin-off because the trading price will no longer reflect the value of the Healthcare business.
There can be no assurance that, following this spin-off, the combined trading prices of the GE common stock and GE HealthCare common stock will equal or exceed what the trading price of GE common stock would have been in the absence of the spin-off. Ultimately, the market will determine the value of both the remaining GE common stock and GE HealthCare common stock.
What was the record date for the GE HealthCare spin-off?
The record date for the GE HealthCare spin-off was December 16, 2022.
As a holder of shares of GE common stock as of the record date for the GE HealthCare spin-off, how were shares of GE HealthCare distributed to me?
If you owned GE common stock as of the close of business on December 16, 2022, the record date for the distribution, the shares of GE HealthCare common stock that you received in the spin-off were issued to your account as follows:
i. Registered stockholders: If you owned your shares of GE common stock directly, either in book-entry form through an account at GE’s transfer agent (Equiniti Trust Company) and/or if you held paper stock certificates, you are a registered shareholder. In this case, the distribution agent credited the whole shares of common stock you received in the spin-off by way of direct registration in book-entry form to a new account with our transfer agent. Registration in book-entry form refers to a method of recording share ownership where no physical stock certificates are issued to stockholders, as will be the case in the spin-off. You will be able to access information regarding your book-entry account for shares of our common stock at Shareowneronline.com or by calling Equiniti Trust Company at 1-800-786-2543 (toll free) or 1-651-450-4064.
ii. “Street name” or beneficial stockholders: If you owned your shares of GE common stock beneficially through a bank, broker, or other nominee, the bank, broker, or other nominee holds the shares in “street name” and records your ownership on its books. In this case, your bank, broker, or other nominee credited your account with the whole shares of our common stock that you received in the spin-off. We encourage you to contact your bank, broker, or other nominee if you have any questions concerning the mechanics of having shares held in “street name.”
How were fractional shares of GE HealthCare be treated?
Shareholders did not receive fractional shares of GE HealthCare in the spin-off. Shareholders will instead receive cash in lieu of the fractional shares.
The distribution agent will aggregate all fractional shares into whole shares and sell the whole shares in the open market at prevailing market prices on behalf of those who are entitled to receive a fractional share. The distribution agent will then distribute the aggregate cash proceeds of the sales, net of brokerage fees, transfer taxes and other costs, pro rata to these holders (net of any required withholding for taxes applicable to each holder).
Was the distribution ratio updated between the announcement and the spin-off date?
The distribution ratio was announced on November 30, 2022. The distribution ratio did not change between such date and the spin-off date of January 3, 2023.
How was the GE HealthCare distribution ratio calculated/determined?
The distribution ratio was selected so that GEHC will have an appropriate number of shares outstanding relative to companies of GEHC’s size and scope on the S&P 500 and in the healthcare industry.
What do I have to do to participate in the GE HealthCare spin-off?
You were not required to take any action in order to participate in the GE HealthCare spin-off.
If you held GE share certificates that have not been converted into book-entry form in connection with last year’s reverse stock split, you were still be entitled to receive shares of GE HealthCare common stock as a consequence of the spin-off, although you will not receive such shares until you exchange your GE share certificates. To exchange your physical GE share certificates for a statement of holdings in book-entry form, please contact GE’s transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, to begin the process.

GE shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the allocation of their aggregate adjusted tax basis among shares of GE and GE HealthCare common stock.

If you owned GE common stock as of the close of business on December 16, 2022, the record date for the distribution, the shares of GE HealthCare common stock that you received in the spin-off were issued to your account as follows:
i. Registered stockholders: If you owned your shares of GE common stock directly, either in book-entry form through an account at GE’s transfer agent (Equiniti Trust Company) and/or if you held paper stock certificates, you are a registered shareholder. In this case, the distribution agent credited the whole shares of common stock you received in the spin-off by way of direct registration in book-entry form to a new account with our transfer agent. Registration in book- entry form refers to a method of recording share ownership where no physical stock certificates are issued to stockholders, as will be the case in the spin-off. You will be able to access information regarding your book-entry account for shares of our common stock at Shareowneronline.com or by calling Equiniti Trust Company at 1-800-786-2543 (toll free) or 1-651-450-4064.
ii. “Street name” or beneficial stockholders: If you owned your shares of GE common stock beneficially through a bank, broker, or other nominee, the bank, broker, or other nominee holds the shares in “street name” and records your ownership on its books. In this case, your bank, broker, or other nominee credited your account with the whole shares of our common stock that you received in the spin-off. We encourage you to contact your bank, broker, or other nominee if you have any questions concerning the mechanics of having shares held in “street name.”
How were fractional shares of GE HealthCare treated?
Shareholders did not receive fractional shares of GE HealthCare in the spin-off. Shareholders will instead receive cash in lieu of the fractional shares.
The distribution agent will aggregate all fractional shares into whole shares and sell the whole shares in the open market at prevailing market prices on behalf of who are entitled to receive a fractional share. The distribution agent will then distribute the aggregate cash proceeds of the sales, net of brokerage fees, transfer taxes and other costs, pro rata to these holders (net of any required withholding for taxes applicable to each holder).
How was the GE HealthCare distribution ratio calculated/determined?
The distribution ratio was selected so that GEHC will have an appropriate number of shares outstanding relative to companies of GEHC’s size and scope on the S&P 500 and in the healthcare industry.
What do I have to do to participate in the GE HealthCare spin-off?
You were not required to take any action in order to participate in the GE HealthCare spin-off.
If you held GE share certificates that have not been converted into book-entry form in connection with last year’s reverse stock split, you were still entitled to receive shares of GE HealthCare common stock as a consequence of the spin-off, although you will not receive such shares until you exchange your GE share certificates. To exchange your physical GE share certificates for a statement of holdings in book-entry form, please contact GE’s transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, to begin the process.

What are the tax implications of the GE HealthCare spin-off for shareholders (U.S. and non-U.S.)?
We expect that the distribution of GE HealthCare common stock will be tax-free to holders of GE common stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Foreign, as well as U.S. stockholders, should contact their own tax advisor with respect to the U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign tax consequences of the distribution.
How is the cost basis of my GE shares affected by this distribution, and what is the cost basis of my GE HealthCare shares?
GE shareholders are required to allocate the aggregate tax basis in their GE common stock held immediately before the spin-off between their GE common stock held immediately after the spin-off and the GE HealthCare common stock received in the spin-off (including any fractional share of GE HealthCare common stock for which cash was received) in proportion to their relative fair market values on the date of the spin-off. GE shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the allocation of their aggregate adjusted tax basis among shares of GE and GE HealthCare common stock.

GE Reverse Stock Split
Reverse Stock Split Summary
On July 30, 2021, GE announced that it completed the 1-for-8 reverse stock split, a corresponding proportionate reduction in the authorized shares of its common stock, and reduction of its par value per share of common stock to $0.01 (collectively, the reverse stock split).
The reverse stock split was approved by GE shareholders at GE’s annual shareholders meeting on May 4, 2021.
Purpose: In recent years, as GE’s transformation has accelerated, we divested significant businesses, from NBC Universal to Oil & Gas and – with the announced sale of GECAS - nearly all of GE Capital. Through these divestitures, we did not reduce our share count proportionally– leaving us in the unusual position of having nearly 8.8 billion shares outstanding, a much higher share count than other industrial companies.
The purpose of the reverse stock split was to reduce the number of outstanding shares of GE common stock to levels that are better aligned with companies of GE’s size and scope and a clearer reflection of the GE of the future, not the past. It also marks another step in GE’s transformation to be a more focused, simpler, stronger high-tech industrial company.
Effective Date: GE filed an amendment to its certificate of incorporation to effectuate the reverse stock split after the close of trading on July 30, 2021, and GE common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on August 2, 2021.
Exchange Ratio: GE shareholders received one share for every eight shares of GE common stock owned.
Process: After the close of trading on July 30, 2021, every eight shares of GE common stock owned by a shareholder were automatically combined into one share of common stock. This reduced the number of outstanding shares from ~8.8 billion shares to ~1.1 billion shares.
Fractional Shares: Registered shareholders who would otherwise hold fractional shares because the number of shares of GE common stock they held before the reverse stock split is not evenly divisible by eight are entitled to receive cash in lieu of such fractional shares.
Beneficial shareholders that hold their shares through a brokerage firm, bank, trust or other similar organization should contact such organization with questions regarding their fractional share treatment.
Dividend Payments: The per share dividend paid was proportionately adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. On September 10, 2021, GE announced a quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share. The Board of Directors of GE reserves the right to change the company’s dividend policy in the future.
Tax Forms: The reverse stock split is intended to be tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes. U.S. shareholders generally should not recognize gain or loss from the reverse stock split, except in those instances where cash payments were provided for fractional shares. Form 1099-B will be issued in early 2022 to registered shareholders for cash payments made in lieu of fractional shares.
Shareholders can find our Form 8937 below.

(“SpinCo”) with respect to the shares of GE common stock outstanding as of the close of business on February 14, 2019 by means of a pro rata distribution (the “Spin-off”), and SpinCo and a subsidiary of Wabtec then merged.

Stock Redemption Program
Due to low participation, GE ended the Stock Redemption program on November 10, 2016 for GE Stock Direct Investors. If you want to sell your shares of GE stock, please contact GE’s current transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company (EQ). Note that sales are subject to a fee of $10 per transaction plus $0.15 per share sold. This fee structure was not changed as part of the switch to Equiniti Trust Company (EQ) as new transfer agent.
Avoid Losing Your Shares to the State as Unclaimed Property
Every U.S. state puts an obligation on shareholders to remain active or their shares will be considered lost. If investors fail to communicate regularly with GE, their state of residence can take their shares and, in many cases, sell them. Investors will be required to go to the state to reacquire them, but if the state has sold their shares, they will have lost all dividends and any increase in value. Every state has this law, often referred to as Unclaimed Property.
If you hold stock directly with GE, these are the steps you can take to stay active as a shareowner:
Review and update your account details by contacting the GE’s transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company (EQ), at least once every 3 years. The same rule applies for GE’s Dividend Reinvestment program. Vote in the Proxy each year when opportunity is provided.
Cash your dividend checks promptly. To avoid lost checks, consider setting up Direct Deposit for dividend payments.
Report shareholder status changes. If your spouse or parent passed away owning GE shares, contact EQ Shareowner Services to re-register the shares.
Immediately sign and return contact letter(s) mailed from EQ.
If you have other questions about unclaimed property, please call or write GE’s Unclaimed Property team:

Overview of General Electric Capital Corporation merger with and into GE
Effective December 2, 2015, General Electric Capital Corporation (GECC) merged with and into GE (the "Merger") to assure compliance with debt covenants as GECC exits the assets planned for disposition. Upon the Merger, the obligations of GECC under its then outstanding debt obligations were assumed by GE (the "GE Debt Assumption"). On December 2, 2015, as part of the GE Debt Assumption and as a result of the Merger, GE succeeded to GECC and assumed the obligations of GECC under all of GECC's outstanding indebtedness and other financial obligations, including:
Approximately $67.5 billion in senior unsecured, subordinated and senior secured notes issued or guaranteed by GECC pursuant to the GECC U.S. medium term note programs;
Approximately $55.2 billion of senior and subordinated debt securities issued or guaranteed by GECC under the GE Capital European medium term note program for issuances by GECC, GE Capital European Funding, GE Capital UK Funding and/or GE Capital Australia Funding Pty Ltd. ;
Approximately $8.9 billion of commercial paper issued by GECC.
The notes described above, and certain other debt securities issued by or guaranteed by GECC, benefited from the guarantee of GE provided pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement between GE and GECC, dated April 10, 2015 and various supplemental indentures entered into in connection therewith. As a result of the Merger and GE Debt Assumption, the Amended and Restated Agreement and the supplemental indentures have terminated according to their terms.
