 the decision as to whether the positions of chairperson and CEO should be combined or separated, and whether an executive or an independent director should serve as the chairperson, should be based upon the needs of the Company at any given time. Maintaining flexibility on this policy allows the Board to choose the leadership structure that will best serve the interests of the Company and its stockholders at any particular time.

Why Our Board Leadership Structure is Appropriate for GE HealthCare at this Time

The Board believes that its current leadership structure, in which the roles of chairperson and CEO are separate, with an independent lead director and independent directors chairing each of the Board committees, is in the best interests of GE HealthCare and its stockholders. In the Board’s view, this structure allows Mr. Culp, as Chairman, to lead agenda setting and oversight of the Company’s strategy at the Board level, while Mr. Arduini, in his capacity as CEO, leads the setting and execution of the strategy. At the same time, our independent lead director, Dr. Lavizzo-Mourey, works with Mr. Culp to set the agenda for the Board and also exercises additional oversight on behalf of the independent directors. The Board will continue to review the appropriateness of this structure and consider stockholder feedback.

Mr. Culp, our current Chairman, is not independent under Nasdaq rules. Dr. Lavizzo-Mourey was appointed as lead director, effective as of the date of the Spin-Off, due to her extensive leadership experience and healthcare knowledge. Going forward, and in accordance with our Governance Principles, the Board will appoint an independent lead director if the chairperson is not independent.

| In light of the demands placed on the lead director, absent special circumstances, the lead director shall not serve as the lead director, chairperson, or chief executive officer of another public company. |
