 no impact on the ability to attract executive talent or discourage the use of long-term equity pay because it places no limit on golden parachutes. It simply requires that extra-large golden parachutes be subject to a non-binding shareholder vote at a shareholder meeting already scheduled for other matters. 
 This proposal is relevant because there is not separate section for approving or rejecting golden parachutes.

#### GE HEALTHCARE 2025 PROXY STATEMENT77

#### Stockholder Proposal

#### The Board recommends a vote AGAINST the proposal.
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. (“we,” “our,” the “Company,” or “GE HealthCare”) has considered this proposal and determined that the implementation of this policy is unnecessary and not in the best interests of GE HealthCare or our stockholders given the existing governance safeguards embedded in our executive compensation programs, including the Company’s policy to seek non-binding stockholder ratification of cash severance payments in certain circumstances.

The proposal is unnecessary because GE HealthCare already has a cash severance policy.

The Board has adopted a cash severance policy whereby the Company will seek stockholder ratification, in a non-binding advisory vote, in connection with the establishment of any new or amendment of any existing employment agreement, severance agreement, or separation agreement with any of the Company’s executive officers as defined under Rule 3b-7 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Executive Officers”), where the value of cash severance benefits (as defined in the policy) exceeds 2.99 times the sum of the Executive Officer’s base salary plus target annual bonus (as defined in the policy).

The Board believes that this policy provides appropriate protection against excessive payouts, while providing the Talent, Culture, and Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) with flexibility to tailor compensation arrangements, which may include severance provisions, allowing GE HealthCare to remain competitive in attracting and retaining highly qualified talent.

Stockholders have the opportunity to express views on GE HealthCare’s compensation practices through our stockholder outreach and annual advisory vote on executive compensation.

The Board and the Company are committed to engaging with our stockholders in an ongoing, constructive dialogue around executive compensation and other important corporate
