    <remarks>The General Electric Pension Trust holds the assets of three participating trusts, including the GE HealthCare Pension Master Trust (the "GEHC Trust"). Following the separation of GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. from GE, the investment fiduciary for the GEHC Trust determined that it no longer wants the GEHC Trust to maintain exposure to a single unrelated stock and will redeem its ownership of GE shares. The GE shares included herein include contributions received during the period from December 31, 1989 to July 5, 2016.</remarks>
