PRIOR TO SPIN-OFF.

Prior to the Spin-Off, GE provided the Company with significant corporate infrastructure and shared services. The following disclosures summarize related party activity between GE HealthCare and GE. This activity, which occurred prior to the Spin-Off, is included in the combined financial statements.

Pension, Benefit, and Contribution Plans
As discussed in Note 10, “Postretirement Benefit Plans”, employees of the Company participated in pension, benefit, and contribution plans that were sponsored by GE. The Company was charged $207 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 related to employee participation in these plans. In connection with the Spin-Off, a portion of the plans were transferred to the Company.

Share-Based Compensation
GE granted various employee benefits to its group employees, including those of the Company, under the GE Long-Term Incentive Plan. These benefits primarily included stock options and RSUs. Compensation expense allocated to the Company was $67 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, and was primarily recognized within SG&A in the Combined Statement of Income.

Management believes that the expense and cost allocations have been determined on a basis that is a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided or the benefit received by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2022. The amounts that would have been incurred on a stand-alone basis could have materially differed from the amounts allocated due to economies of scale, difference in management judgment, a requirement for more or fewer employees, or other factors.

AFTER SPIN-OFF.

In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into or adopted several agreements that provide a framework for the relationship between the Company and GE. These agreements were structured in anticipation of GE’s transaction to separate the GE Vernova business. Refer to Note 1, “Organization and Basis of Presentation” for additional information. The below agreements had activity during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Separation and Distribution Agreement – sets forth the principal actions to be taken in connection with the Spin-Off, including the transfer of assets and assumption of liabilities, and establishes certain rights and obligations between the Company and GE following the Distribution, including procedures with respect to claims subject to indemnification and related matters.

Transition Services Agreement – governs all matters relating to the provision of shared services between the Company and GE on a transitional basis. The services the Company receives include support for information technology, human resources, supply chain, finance, and facilities services, among others. Some of these costs were included in the allocations from GE prior to Spin-Off. The services generally commenced on the date of the Spin-Off and terminated in the 24 months following the Distribution Date depending upon the related transitional service. We incurred $172 million, net, and $372 million, net, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, under this agreement. These amounts represent fees charged from GE and GE Vernova to the Company, the majority of which are related to information technology, and are net of fees charged from the Company to GE and GE Vernova for facilities and other shared services.

Tax Matters Agreement – governs the respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations between the Company and GE with respect to all tax matters (excluding employee-related taxes covered under the Employee Matters Agreement), in addition to certain restrictions which generally prohibit us from taking or failing to take any action in the two-year period following the Distribution that would prevent the Distribution from qualifying as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including limitations on our ability to pursue certain strategic transactions. The Tax Matters Agreement specifies the portion of tax liability for which the Company will bear contractual responsibility, and the Company and GE will each agree to indemnify each other against any amounts for which such indemnified party is not responsible.
Current amounts due from and to GE under the various agreements are recognized within Due from related parties or Due to related parties, as applicable, in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Non-current amounts due from GE were $99 million and $81 million, and due to GE were $34 million and $33 million, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These amounts were recognized within All other non-current assets and All other non-current liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and relate to tax and other indemnities. Following its separation from GE, GE Vernova does not meet the definition of a related party; accordingly, amounts as of December 31, 2024 due to and from GE Vernova in accordance with the TSA are excluded from the Due from related parties and Due to related parties financial statement line items and non-current balances disclosed above.
