 BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR RATIFICATION OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE’S SELECTION OF DELOITTE 
 AS OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITOR FOR 2025                                                     |

Independent Auditor Review and Engagement The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation (including advance approval of fees), retention and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm that audits our financial statements and our internal control over financial reporting. In accordance with its charter, the Audit Committee has selected the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP (Deloitte), an independent registered public accounting firm, to be our auditor for the year 2025. The Audit Committee believes that this selection is in the best interests of GE Aerospace and its shareholders and, therefore, recommends to shareholders that they ratify that selection. Deloitte was selected as our auditor in 2020 to serve as our auditor beginning with fiscal year 2021. If our shareholders do not ratify the selection of Deloitte, the Audit Committee may reconsider the selection of our auditor, but is not required to do so. A representative of Deloitte will be present at the annual meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to shareholder questions. Audit Committee Report ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. The Audit Committee reviews GE Aerospace’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. Management has the primary responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal financial controls, for preparing the financial statements and for the public reporting process. Our company’s independent auditor, Deloitte, is responsible for expressing opinions on the conformity of the company’s audited financial statements, in all material respects, with generally accepted accounting principles and on the company’s internal control over financial reporting. REQUIRED DISCLOSURES AND DISCUSSIONS. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and Deloitte the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, and Deloitte’s evaluation of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee has also discussed with Deloitte the matters that are required to be discussed under applicable PCAOB and SEC requirements. Deloitte has provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures and the PCAOB-required letter regarding its communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the committee has discussed with Deloitte the firm’s independence.
