 Audit Committee and the independent directors have established procedures to enable anyone who has a comment or concern about     
 GE Aerospace’s conduct — including any employee who has a concern about our accounting, internal accounting controls              
 or auditing matters — to communicate that comment or concern directly to the lead director or to the Audit Committee. Information 
 on how to submit these comments or concerns can be found on GE Aerospace’s website (see Helpful

20 GE Aerospace 2025 Proxy Statement How We Assess Director Independence BOARD MEMBERS. The Board’s Governance Principles require all non-management directors to be independent. All of our director nominees (shown under Election of Directorson page 5) other than Mr. Culp are independent. Former directors Paula Rosput Reynolds and Jessica Uhl left the GE Board at the time of the GE Vernova spin-off on April 2, 2024. Ms. Rosput Reynolds was determined to be independent during the period she served on the GE Board. Ms. Uhl was determined to be independent until her appointment as President of GE Vernova on January 22, 2024; with the commencement of that management role Ms. Uhl was determined to no longer be independent, and she stepped down from the Audit Committee.

 Board’s guidelines. For a director to be considered independent, the Board                
 must determine that he or she does not have any material relationship with GE Aerospace.  
 The Board’s guidelines for director independence conform to the independence requirements 
 in the New York Stock Exchange’s (NYSE) listing standards. In addition to applying        
 these guidelines, which you can find in the Board’s Governance Principles (see            
 Helpful Resources on page 66), the Board considers                                        
 all relevant facts and circumstances when making an independence determination.           |

 the guidelines in 2024. In assessing director independence for 2024, the Board considered 
 relevant transactions, relationships and arrangements, including relationships among      
 Board members, their family members and the company, as described below.                  |
