Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On April 5, 2024, GE Aerospace (General Electric Company or the “Company”) elected new officers following the Company’s completion of its spin-off of GE Vernova Inc. (“GE Vernova”). This included the appointment of Robert Giglietti, 53, as Chief Accounting Officer, Controller and Treasurer, succeeding Thomas S. Timko as principal accounting officer. Mr. Giglietti joined the Company in 2002 and has held a variety of leadership positions in the finance organization, including most recently as Treasurer for GE Aerospace (since July 2023) and Chief Financial Officer - GE Capital and Corporate (since January 2021) and Operational Leader for the GE separations. During his time at the Company, Mr. Giglietti has also served as Deputy Controller – Financial Reporting, Deputy Controller – GE Operational Controller, Treasury Chief Operating Officer and other controllership roles across GE’s industrial and financial services businesses. In connection with his appointment as Chief Accounting Officer and Controller, Mr. Giglietti will receive a one-time grant of restricted stock units with a grant date fair value of $750,000. The restricted stock units will vest over three years and be subject to accelerated vesting in the event of a termination (i) due to death or disability, (ii) by the Company other than for cause or (iii) in connection with a transfer to a successor employer in a business disposition.

As the GE Vernova spin-off marked the completion of the Company’s strategic plan to establish three independent companies, a number of employees of the Company’s former Corporate division who did not assume positions with any of the three companies have departed or will depart from the Company, as previously reported. These include Michael J. Holston and L. Kevin Cox, who were both named executive officers in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed on March 14, 2024, and Mr. Timko, all of whom departed on April 7, 2024.
