Dear Jeannette,

We are pleased to offer you the position of President & CEO, Patient Care Solutions in GE Precision Healthcare, LLC (together, with its affiliates, “GE HealthCare” or the “Company”) on a mutually agreed start date (your “Start Date”). This position will be based in Waukesha, Wisconsin and you will report Pete Arduini, GE HealthCare’s President & CEO. The details of our offer are noted below:

Salary:
$675,000 (US dollars) paid bi-weekly.
One GE HealthCare Annual Bonus Plan (the “Bonus Plan”):
Your annual bonus target under the Bonus Plan is 100% of your base salary as of December 31st of each plan year. Payments are made in the Company’s discretion and are typically based on GE HealthCare performance, business segment performance and individual performance. For the performance year 2025, any bonus you receive will be pro-rated based on your Start Date.
Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”):
Your target annual equity award grant value will be $2,000,000 (US dollars). Actual grant values may be higher or lower than target based on individual performance, leadership and other factors, in the Company’s discretion. Annual equity awards are typically granted in March each year, with the award type and terms determined by the Talent, Culture and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”). Your 2025 annual award will be granted on the first quarterly off-cycle grant date following your start date. The award will consist of 50% performance stock units (“PSUs”), 25% restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 25% stock options. PSUs are earned based on GE HealthCare performance from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027 and vest on the date in the first quarter of 2028 in which the Committee certifies PSU performance results. RSUs and stock options vest 33% on September 1, 2026, 33% on September 1, 2027, and 34% on September 1, 2028. All vesting is subject to your continued employment through the vesting dates.
Benefits:
You will also be eligible to participate in the Company’s benefit plans, including:
The Executive Physical Program which provides reimbursement of up to $7,500 (US dollars) annually for physical health examinations.

The Executive Financial Planning Program which provides reimbursement of up to $15,000 (US dollars) annually for financial planning services.

Participation in the Company’s Retirement Savings Program (the “RSP”), under which the Company will match 50% of the first 8% of eligible pay you save and contribute 3% of eligible pay each year (the “CRC”). The Company match and CRC vest after you earn three years of RSP service.

Participation in the Restoration Plan. Under the Plan, 7% of your pay above the IRS pay limit that applies to 401(k) plans is credited each year and notionally invested as you choose. These amounts generally vest after 3 years of service.
Participation in the Severance and Change in Control Plan for CEO and Leadership Team (the “Severance Plan”) under which protections and benefits are provided in the event of certain terminations, including, in some cases following a change in control of the Company.
All aspects of these and other benefits, including the Bonus Plan, will be governed by the terms of the applicable plan or program, and the Company reserves the right to amend such plans and programs at any time.
New Hire Equity Grant:
We will provide you with a New Hire Equity Grant valued at $2,200,000 (US dollars), which will be granted in RSUs on the first quarterly off-cycle grant date following your Start Date. Half of the grant will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date and the other half will vest on the second anniversary of the grant date, subject to your continued employment through the applicable vesting dates. If the Company terminates you without Cause or you have a Non-Change in Control Good Reason termination, both as defined in the Severance Plan, any unvested RSUs shall vest pro-rata as of the end of your employment. Pro-rata vesting will be calculated by multiplying the number of RSUs granted by a fraction where the numerator is the number of complete calendar months from the Grant Date through the Termination Date and the denominator is 24.
