 your decisions in voting at the Annual Meeting.

On
April 23, 2025, we announced that Ilham Kadri will not stand for election as a director of Baker Hughes at the Annual Meeting. Dr. Kadri informed the Board on April 21, 2025 that, in light of the heightened commitments associated with
her executive responsibilities amid the current macroeconomic climate, she has decided to withdraw her acceptance of her appointment to the Board. The Board initially appointed Dr. Kadri to serve as a director on the Board on March 28,
2025, effective with a term beginning May 1, 2025, as disclosed on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2025. Accordingly, Dr. Kadri will no longer join the
Board on May 1, 2025 and will not stand for election as a director nominee at the Annual Meeting and, upon conclusion of the Annual Meeting, the size of the Board will be nine members. Dr. Kadri’s decision is not the result of any
disagreement with the Company or its management on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

Thank you for your
participation and continued support.

Additional Information Regarding Voting

Although Dr. Kadri will now not stand for election as a director at the Annual Meeting, we will not distribute or issue a new proxy card or voting
instruction form to omit Dr. Kadri as a nominee for election as a director at the Annual Meeting. If you have already returned your proxy or provided voting instructions, you do not need to take any action unless you wish to change your vote.
Proxies received with instructions to vote for the election of Dr. Kadri to the Board will not be voted with respect to her election, but will continue to be voted as directed or otherwise as set forth therein and described in the Proxy
Statement with respect to all other matters properly brought before the Annual Meeting. If you have not yet returned your WHITE proxy card or submitted your voting instructions, please complete the WHITE proxy card or submit instructions
disregarding Dr. Kadri’s name as a nominee for election to the Board. Information regarding how to vote your shares, or revoke your proxy or voting instructions, is available in the Proxy Statement.
