Director Compensation
Director Compensation The Compensation Committee recommends to the Board for approval compensation and benefits for non-employee directors. The Compensation Committee designed a compensation program to achieve the following goals: compensation should fairly pay directors for work required given the Company’s size and scope; compensation should align directors’ interests with the long-term interests of stockholders; and the structure of the compensation should be simple, transparent, and easy for stockholders to understand. The Compensation Committee reviews non-employee director compensation every two years and makes recommendations for changes to the Board, as necessary. During 2023, the Board approved the Non-Employee Director Compensation and Benefits Plan that outlines all aspects of our non-employee directors’ compensation and benefits. The plan was designed to pay our non-employee directors in line with peers based on benchmarking done in 2022 by Semler Brossy Consulting Group, LLC (“Semler Brossy”). Cash compensation is paid at the end of each quarter of service and prorated for partial years of service. The Board made no changes to the non-employee director compensation program for 2024. Non-employee directors received the following retainers and fees in 2024:

(1)Consists of annual retainer fees for service as a director and a member of Board committees. Director fees that would have been paid in cash, but, at the election of the director, converted to DSUs, are included in this “Fees Earned or Paid in Cash” column. DSUs are immediately vested, but receipt of the shares is deferred until the first business day after the date specified by the director after separation from service on the Board. (2)Amounts disclosed in this column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of the RSUs, as applicable, granted to our non-employee directors during 2024, as determined under the principles used to calculate the grant-date fair value of equity awards for purposes of our financial statements in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718. GE HealthCare determines the grant date fair value of stock unit awards by multiplying the number of RSUs granted by the closing market price of a share of GE HealthCare common stock on the date of grant. Stock awards outstanding as of December 31, 2024 for each non-employee director consisted of 2,440 RSUs. (3)On May 21, 2024, Mr. Hochman and Ms. Madden each received a grant of 1,525 DSUs in lieu of their annual cash retainer.

| Management Proposal No. 2 Approval of Our Named Executive Officers’ Compensation in an Advisory Vote | | What are you voting on? Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are asking stockholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to our NEOs in 2024, as described in this proxy statement. We currently hold say-on-pay votes annually. The next say-on-pay vote will occur at our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Why the Board recommends a vote FOR the say-on-pay proposal? As described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis below, the Board believes our executive compensation program is designed to effectively align the interests of our executives, including our NEOs, with our stockholders. The Company’s compensation programs play a significant role in our ability to attract, retain, and motivate top talent to enable our strategies to create a world where healthcare has no limits. Furthermore, the Board believes the use of a mix of base salary and annual and long-term incentives, along with performance metrics tied to executing on our business strategies and priorities, will result in long-term value creation. Accordingly, the Board recommends that stockholders vote FOR the following resolution: “RESOLVED, that the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables, and related information provided in this proxy statement, is hereby APPROVED.” | | | The Board recommends a vote FOR the say-on-pay proposal | |

Executive Compensation Best Practices
| | What We Do | | What We Don’t Do | | Pay-for-performance through emphasis on at-risk, performance-based compensation programs Set rigorous annual bonus and long-term PSU goals tied to Board-approved budget and strategic objectives Align executive and stockholder interests by providing a majority of total target compensation in long-term incentives for our NEOs Maintain robust stock ownership and retention requirements for our directors and executive officers, including a 6x base salary requirement for our CEO Conduct proactive and ongoing stockholder outreach Mitigate undue risk-taking by conducting annual risk assessments and capping potential incentive plan payouts Maintain a robust clawback policy that goes beyond minimum legal requirements and authorizes recoupment of both time- and performance-based awards in the event of misconduct outside the context of a financial restatement Retain a fully independent executive compensation consultant whose independence is reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee Maintain equity grant practices designed to avoid grants right before or at the time of release of material non-public information, including pre-established grant dates Hold annual stockholder say-on-pay advisory vote Conduct an annual review of the compensation and practices of a compensation peer group | | No hedging of Company securities by employees or directors No pledging of Company securities by employees or directors No re-pricing of Options without stockholder approval No “single trigger” cash severance or equity acceleration based solely upon a change in control No excise tax gross-ups for change in control and severance payments No payouts of dividend equivalents on equity awards during vesting or performance periods No excessive perquisites | |
Summary of 2024 Compensation Program Elements
| Fixed | Performance-Based / At-Risk | | | | | | Short-Term Incentive | Long-Term Equity-Based Incentives | | | | Salary | Annual Bonus | PSUs | Options | RSUs | | •Provides fixed compensation to attract and retain top talent •Set at market-competitive levels and reviewed and approved annually by the Compensation Committee as it deems appropriate based on benchmarking data, and individual roles, responsibilities, performance, impact, and capabilities | •Drives achievement of Company’s annual financial, operational, and strategic goals •Serves as key compensation vehicle for differentiating performance each year | •Focuses executives on achievement of long-term financial performance goals, directly aligned with operating and strategic goals, and total shareholder return •Aligns with stockholder interests by tying a significant portion of executive compensation to the Company’s long-term financial success | •Rewards stockholder value creation through stock price appreciation over time •Provides the longest-term linkage of the three equity vehicles (with a 10-year option term) | •Promotes employee retention while remaining linked to underlying stock price performance |
Pay-for-Performance
Pay-for-Performance Our executive compensation program is designed to strengthen the link between pay and performance by having a significant portion of total executive compensation at-risk and tied to the achievement of predetermined performance targets. Our business-focused goals, which are incorporated into both annual and long-term incentive opportunities, are complementary, risk-balancing, and designed to encourage an ownership-oriented team. By aligning pay with our strategy, we believe the compensation program motivates executives to execute on our vision to create a world where healthcare has no limits. The charts below show the relative weightings of salary, target bonus, and target long-term equity-based incentive compensation awarded to our NEOs in 2024, including, for Mr. Rott, the promotional increases in salary, target bonus, and target long-term equity-based incentive compensation awarded in connection with his promotion to President and CEO, Imaging. Consistent with our pay-for-performance approach, 92% of total target compensation is at-risk for our CEO, and 83% of total target compensation is at-risk (on average) for our other NEOs.

Total Rewards Philosophy and Guiding Principles
| Business-Focused and Performance-Differentiated •We offer “at-risk” annual incentives that are aligned with our business strategies for the year •We offer “at-risk” long-term incentives that are aligned with long-term value creation for our stockholders •We design incentives with an effective link between pay and performance to drive accountability and ensure we win together with differentiated pay-for-performance from the GE HealthCare level to the individual level •We offer significant “at-risk” pay to our senior leadership while mitigating unnecessary and excessive risk-taking •As a newer standalone public company, our total rewards programs have a deliberate focus on accelerating profitable growth | | Ownership-Oriented We empower an entrepreneurial spirit within our culture and align compensation with our stockholders’ interests by providing meaningful equity awards to eligible participants and maintaining robust policies that require significant stock ownership by our senior executives | | Competitive, Motivating, and Fair We provide total rewards programs that are competitive in the markets in which we compete while taking into account a participant’s experience, performance, and contributions to our business strategy, motivating our participants to successfully execute our business strategy, and balancing internal equity across participants | | Simple and Transparent Our total rewards programs are intended to drive employee engagement and business success through simple and transparent plan designs |
Compensation Peer Group
Compensation Peer Group Our compensation programs are evaluated against a 15-company peer group within the broader medical device and medical technology spaces with whom we compete for talent (the “Compensation Peer Group”). Annually, the Compensation Committee works with Semler Brossy to review the Compensation Peer Group composition and determine whether any changes would be appropriate. In general, the assessment considers several peer characteristics including business type, revenue, and market capitalization compared to GE HealthCare. Following the 2023 review, and with advice from Semler Brossy, the Compensation Committee determined that the current 15 companies continued to represent an appropriate comparator group for our 2024 compensation programs. For setting 2024 individual total direct compensation, the Compensation Committee primarily referenced benchmarking data from the 13 U.S.-based peers, which excluded Koninklijke Philips and Siemens Healthineers due to the differences in compensation practices outside of the U.S., while also considering benchmarking data from the full 15-company Compensation Peer Group as well as other survey sources.

Annual Bonus Plan
Annual Bonus Plan For 2024, we provided annual cash incentive opportunities to our executives, including our NEOs, under the Bonus Plan. The performance metrics and targets for awards under the Bonus Plan were set at the beginning of the year and designed to drive Company and business segment performance, based on financial, operational, and strategic priorities. How 2024 Bonuses for Our NEOs Were Determined. All NEOs are eligible to participate in the Bonus Plan. Target bonus percentages for our NEOs are reviewed and approved annually by the Compensation Committee. For 2024, no changes were made to target bonus percentages of NEOs. As such, Mr. Arduini’s target bonus percentage remained at 150% of base salary and the target bonus percentages for all other NEOs remained at 100% of base salary. In the first quarter of 2024, the Compensation Committee approved financial metrics and targets at the corporate and segment levels, as well as metrics and targets for the strategic initiatives modifier. For executives in roles overseeing all of GE HealthCare, including Messrs. Arduini, Saccaro, Kass-Hout, and Jimenez, financial metrics were fully tied to corporate-level performance goals. For Mr. Rott, who became President and CEO of our Imaging segment, effective July 1, 2024, financial metrics were tied in part to corporate-level performance goals with a meaningful weighting (40%) and Imaging segment performance goals with the majority of the weighting (60%). In connection with his promotion, the Compensation Committee approved the use of Imaging segment performance goals for the full year for Mr. Rott’s financial metrics. As shown below, bonuses paid to our NEOs are determined formulaically based on each NEO’s base salary, target bonus percentage, applicable corporate and segment financial performance, strategic initiatives modifier, and an individual performance multiplier. In 2024, we modified the application of the strategic initiatives modifier from solely being applied to corporate results to combined corporate and segment level results, as depicted below.

Annual Bonus Plan
How 2024 Bonus Plan Metrics Were Selected. The 2024 Bonus Plan financial metrics were focused on our Growth Acceleration and Business Optimization strategic pillars. At the corporate level, the financial metrics were GE HealthCare Organic revenue (weighted 50%), GE HealthCare Adjusted EBIT (weighted 30%), and GE HealthCare Free cash flow (weighted 20%). For the Imaging segment, financial metrics were Imaging Organic revenue (weighted 50%), Imaging Adjusted EBIT (weighted 30%), and Imaging Inventory Turns (weighted 20%). See the Appendix for definitions of the non-GAAP financial metrics used in the Bonus Plan. Metrics for the 2024 strategic initiatives modifier focused on our two other areas of priority. The use of a New Product Introductions (“NPI”) Vitality metric was focused on our Precision Care strategic pillar and measured based on the percentage of orders attributed to new product introductions over a five-calendar-quarter period. The use of a Safety metric was focused on a foundational priority of People, Patients, and Culture and measured based on our injury and illness rate for the year. The strategic initiatives modifier applied to GE HealthCare and Imaging blended results could have increased or decreased financial metric results by +/- 10 percentage points (+/- 5 percentage points for each initiative). The Compensation Committee selected the financial and strategic initiatives metrics to incentivize strong performance across key drivers of long-term value creation and reflect how GE HealthCare is managed at the corporate and segment levels.

Finally, each NEO’s performance was assessed against individual goals tied to their roles and responsibilities, and an individual performance multiplier between 0% and 150% was assigned. The final award is capped at 200%, inclusive of any individual performance. How 2024 Bonus Plan Targets and Performance Levels Were Determined. In the first quarter of 2024, the Compensation Committee established targets and performance levels for each financial metric that were designed to be rigorous yet realistic and informed by the Company’s 2024 budget. The Compensation Committee also established targets for the two strategic initiatives of our modifier that aligned with the Company’s strategy, business priorities, and internal forecast for the year. The target, threshold, and maximum performance levels for each financial metric were set with reference to annual corporate and segment budgets, established by senior management (including our NEOs), and approved by the Compensation Committee. Failure to achieve threshold on any one metric would result in no payout for that metric, and failure to achieve threshold on all metrics would result in no payout overall. For the 2024 Bonus Plan, our NEOs could receive between 50% and 200% of their target award for threshold and maximum performance, respectively. How Corporate Level Performance Was Determined. As shown below, in the first quarter of 2025, the Compensation Committee certified the 2024 Bonus Plan performance results that determine the payout level for each financial and strategic initiative metric at the corporate level.

How NEO Bonus Payouts Were Determined. As shown below, in the first quarter of 2025, the Compensation Committee approved 2024 Bonus Plan payouts for our NEOs, which were determined based on the achievement of performance goals at the corporate, and, for Mr. Rott, segment level and individual performance multipliers. For Mr. Arduini, the Compensation Committee approved an individual performance multiplier of 105%. Mr. Arduini had no role in the determination of his bonus. For Messrs. Saccaro, Kass-Hout, Jimenez, and Rott, individual performance multipliers of 100%, 110%, 100%, and 100%, respectively, were recommended by our CEO and approved by the Compensation Committee. The individual performance factors for Messrs. Arduini and Kass-Hout were above 100% in recognition of strong performance against their 2024 individual goals. See details of individual performance for all NEOs in “Compensation Actions for 2024” beginning on page 48.

Long-Term Incentive Program
Long-Term Incentive Program GE HealthCare’s 2024 Long-Term Incentive (“LTI”) Program focuses on our Growth Acceleration and Business Optimization strategic pillars and includes three equity vehicles: PSUs, Options, and RSUs. The awards are designed to motivate and incentivize executives to create sustainable long-term value, support the attraction and retention of top talent, and align executive and stockholder interests through a meaningful ownership stake in the Company. How LTI Award Mix and Amounts Were Determined. Annual LTI awards represent the largest portion of each NEO’s annual total target compensation. The Compensation Committee considers various factors for determining the size and mix of annual equity awards for our NEOs, including our long-term business objectives, market practices, and individual performance. As illustrated below, in 2024, once the total annual LTI award amount for each NEO was determined by the Compensation Committee, 50% was granted in PSUs, 25% in Options, and 25% in RSUs. PSUs are tied to long-term financial goals of 2026 Organic revenue (weighted 50%) and 2024-2026 Cumulative Adjusted earnings per share (“EPS”) (weighted 50%), and modified by our total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance relative to our Compensation Peer Group (modifier ranges from +/- 20%). The final potential payout is between 0% and 200% of target PSUs granted, inclusive of any potential TSR modifier. These awards vest following a three-year performance period, to the extent performance is achieved upon completion of the performance period. Options and RSUs both vest in three substantially equal installments over three and one-half years, subject to continued employment through the vesting date (with exceptions for certain termination events) and tie our executives’ interests to stockholder value and the performance of our stock. With respect to PSUs and RSUs, dividend equivalents accrue over the vesting period but are paid out only on shares actually received. See the Appendix for definitions of the non-GAAP financial metrics used in the 2024 PSUs.

2024 PSUs
2024 PSUs How Annual PSUs Work. Our PSUs are designed to focus executives on the Company’s long-term financial and operating goals. PSU payouts are earned only if GE HealthCare achieves specified performance levels over the relevant performance period. In the first quarter of 2024, the Compensation Committee selected the performance metrics for PSUs to be granted in 2024. The Compensation Committee chooses performance metrics it believes align with the Company’s long-term strategic objectives and contribute to the creation of long-term stockholder value. The Compensation Committee then monitors the Company’s performance against the performance metrics over a three-year performance period and certifies the final levels of achievement following the end of the period. The certified PSU achievement levels determine the percentage of the target number of PSUs under the award that executives earn. The Compensation Committee establishes targets and performance levels that are designed to be rigorous but realistic and informed by the Company’s long-term financial goals. The target, threshold, and maximum performance levels for each performance metric are set with reference to our annual budgets established by senior management and approved by the Board. PSUs vest at the end of the three-year performance period, contingent upon satisfaction of the performance criteria and subject to the NEO’s continued employment through the vesting date (with exceptions for certain termination events). How Metrics and Targets for PSUs Were Selected. The 2024 performance metrics and targets for PSUs granted to our NEOs were approved by the Compensation Committee in February 2024. The PSUs may become earned based on our 2026 Organic revenue (50% weighting) and 2024-2026 Cumulative Adjusted EPS (50% weighting) results, which are subject to modification of +/-20% based on three-year relative TSR versus our Compensation Peer Group. The 2026 Organic revenue target was derived from a target growth rate established at the beginning of the three-year performance period commencing on January 1, 2024 and ending on December 31, 2026. The Compensation Committee chose Organic revenue and Cumulative Adjusted EPS as financial metrics to incentivize and focus executives on long-term profitable growth. The Compensation Committee decided to replace three-year Cumulative Adjusted EBIT used for 2023 PSUs with three-year Cumulative Adjusted EPS after a review provided by its independent compensation consultant of prevalent industry practices and consideration of how EPS contributes to the Company’s long-term strategic objectives and creation of stockholder value. Results will be interpolated for performance between threshold, target, and maximum with potential final payouts between 50% and 200% of target PSUs granted for threshold and maximum performance, respectively, inclusive of the TSR modifier. Failure to achieve threshold on either financial metric would result in no payout for that metric, and failure to achieve threshold on both financial metrics would result in no payout overall. The financial metrics are tied to corporate performance, which aligns all our leaders who receive PSUs with the same performance targets, in contrast to the metrics used in the Bonus Plan, which for GE HealthCare segment employees are assessed based in part on segment-level performance. See the Appendix for additional information and definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures used in the 2024 PSUs.
2024 Options and RSUs
2024 Options and RSUs The Compensation Committee believes that Options and RSUs effectively focus executives on delivering long-term value to stockholders. Options have value only to the extent that our stock price rises between the grant date and the exercise date. RSUs reward and are intended to help retain executives by offering them the opportunity to receive GE HealthCare stock if they remain employed by the Company through the date the vesting restrictions lapse (with exceptions for certain termination events). Vesting of 2024 Stock Options and RSUs. The annual Options and RSUs granted to our NEOs in 2024 will vest over three and one-half years in three substantially equal installments on the 18-month, 30-month, and 42-month anniversary of the grant date, subject to the NEO’s continued employment through each such vesting date (with exceptions for certain termination events). Options generally expire 10 years from the grant date.

Other LTI Awards 2022 CEO New-Hire PSUs. On January 3, 2022, Mr. Arduini became President and CEO of GE’s healthcare business, after joining GE as an employee in December 2021. In connection with assuming this role, in February 2022 he received an equity grant of GE PSUs which were adjusted and converted into GE HealthCare PSUs in connection with the Spin-Off (“New-Hire PSUs”). Mr. Arduini’s New-Hire PSUs were eligible to vest on March 1, 2025, in an amount between 0% and 150% of the target number of PSUs granted, based on the final average achievement of annual performance objectives set for each of 2022, 2023, and

Other LTI Awards
2024. For 2024, the Compensation Committee selected annual performance metrics, which consisted of Organic revenue (weighted 50%), Adjusted EBIT (weighted 30%), and Free cash flow (weighted 20%), subject to a modification of +/- 10 percentage points for the strategic initiative modifier comprised of two metrics focused on our Precision Care pillar and foundational priority of People, Patients, and Culture. Under the applicable accounting principles, such awards are treated as granted in the year that the applicable performance criteria are established and reported as such in the Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table below. As a result, per SEC rules, the 2024 tranche of Mr. Arduini’s New-Hire PSUs granted by GE in 2022 prior to our Spin-Off is included as a 2024 compensation award in these two tables. See the Appendix for definitions of the non-GAAP financial metrics used in the Bonus Plan. In the first quarter of 2025, the Compensation Committee certified the Company’s performance against the 2024 annual performance metrics at 93%, as shown below. The Compensation Committee certifications of Company performance against the 2023 and 2022 performance metrics are also shown below. The Compensation Committee then certified the final performance results at 92% of target, based on the final three-year average achievement of annual performance objectives set for each of 2022, 2023, and 2024, as shown below.

As disclosed in our 2023 proxy statement, in 2023 the GE Management Development and Compensation Committee certified the final payouts for the 2022 PSUs at 0% of target, resulting in no payouts to any NEOs and the cancellation of these awards. 2024 Promotional Awards. In connection with Mr. Rott’s promotion in 2024, the Compensation Committee approved a promotional equity award of $950,000 granted on August 15, 2024 consisting of 50% PSUs, 25% RSUs, and 25% Options. The promotional award value was intended to align Mr. Rott’s 2024 target annual LTI value, when combined with his March 1, 2024 annual grant, with competitive levels for his new role with expanded responsibilities overseeing the Company’s largest segment. PSUs are eligible to vest in 2027 subject to meeting the same performance goals described above for annual 2024 PSUs. Options and RSUs are each eligible for vesting in three substantially equal installments on September 1, 2025, September 1, 2026, and September 1, 2027, subject to continued employment through each such vesting date (with exceptions for certain termination events).
Equity Grant Practices
Equity Grant Practices Management has developed an annual and off-cycle equity grant schedule designed to avoid granting equity close in time to the release of the Company’s quarterly earnings. We also do not time the disclosure of material nonpublic information on the basis of equity grant dates. Annual equity awards are typically approved by the Compensation Committee at its regularly-scheduled meeting in late January or early February to be granted in early March. The Compensation Committee may also approve equity awards throughout the year for various reasons, including recruitment of new hires, promotions, and retention and/or recognition of top talent. These off-cycle grants are made on regularly scheduled quarterly dates. We may make equity grants at other times under certain circumstances. The Compensation Committee has also delegated authority to the Company’s CEO to grant equity awards to employees who are neither under the Compensation Committee’s purview nor direct reports to the CEO, subject to certain limitations on grant value and number of shares granted, as established by the Compensation Committee. These equity awards generally follow the same granting schedules as described above. In response to Item 402(x) of Regulation S-K, we note that in 2024, (1) no NEOs were awarded stock options with an effective grant date during any period beginning four business days before the filing or furnishing of a Form 10-Q, Form 10-K, or Form 8-K that disclosed material nonpublic information, and ending one business day after the filing or furnishing of such reports, and (2) we did not time the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

Severance and Change in Control Arrangements
Severance and Change in Control Arrangements Severance and Change in Control Plan for Leadership Team. All the NEOs participate in the GE HealthCare US Severance and Change in Control Plan for CEO and Leadership Team (“Executive Severance Plan”), other than Mr. Rott who is not eligible under the Executive Severance Plan as he is not working in the U.S. However, it is the intent of the Compensation Committee that Executives who are not working in the U.S. would be eligible for the better of the benefits they would be eligible for under the Executive Severance Plan if they were working in the U.S., and the benefits they are eligible for under local law. This intent was formalized in Mr. Rott’s employment arrangement when he was promoted to President and CEO, Imaging. In the event of a qualifying termination of employment, the Executive Severance Plan provides for a lump sum cash severance payment equal to the sum of base salary and target annual bonus multiplied by 2.0 for the CEO and multiplied by 1.0 for other participating Leadership Team members. In addition, benefits continuation and outplacement services would be provided for 24 months for the CEO and 12 months for other Leadership Team members. Under the Executive Severance Plan, the following terms have the meanings set forth below: •A qualifying termination under the Executive Severance Plan occurs when the Executive Severance Plan administrator determines in its sole discretion that one of the following events has occurred: (a)The participant’s position has been eliminated (and not replaced); (b)The participant’s employment has been terminated without “cause;” or (c)The participant terminates their employment for “good reason.” A qualifying termination also occurs if within 24 months of a change in control, as defined in the Executive Severance Plan, the participant’s employment is terminated due to a position elimination, by the employer without “cause,” or by the participant for “good reason.” If a participant experiences a qualifying termination of employment within two years following a change in control of the Company, the Executive Severance Plan provides for a lump sum cash severance benefit to the CEO equal to 36 months of base salary, plus 2.99 times the CEO’s target annual bonus. For other Leadership Team members, the lump sum cash severance
Severance and Change in Control Arrangements
| GE HEALTHCARE 2025 PROXY STATEMENT | 53 |
Severance and Change in Control Arrangements
benefit is equal to 24 months of base salary, plus two times the Leadership Team member’s target annual bonus. In addition, benefits continuation and outplacement services are provided for 36 months for the CEO and for 24 months for Leadership Team members. The Executive Severance Plan does not vary the terms of equity awards, and all outstanding equity awards will be treated as provided under the terms of the applicable plans and equity award agreements in the event of a qualifying termination. Under the terms of the LTI Program, in the case of a change in control, as defined in the LTI Program, where the acquirer does not assume or continue outstanding equity award or issue substitute awards, immediately prior to such change in control all such outstanding awards become exercisable and vested, and for PSUs, grantees have the right to payment based on target or actual performance through a date determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion. If such change in control changes the number of outstanding shares of the Company, the Compensation Committee has discretion to make appropriate and equitable adjustments to equity awards, accelerate vesting consistent with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and/or cancel accelerated awards not exercised within a time period prescribed by the Compensation Committee. The Executive Severance Plan does not vary how a pro-rata bonus, if any, will be calculated or paid under the Bonus Plan for the year in which a qualifying termination occurs. Any payment of benefits under the Executive Severance Plan is subject to the execution of a release and waiver of claims acceptable to the Company, including, where legally permissible, non-competition, non-solicitation, and non-disparagement obligations. See “Executive Officer Cash Severance Policy” on page 25 for information on a Board-approved policy governing certain cash severance benefits provided to Executive Officers.
Summary Compensation Table
Summary Compensation Table The following table summarizes the total compensation earned by each of our NEOs for the fiscal years ended December 31 as presented below. Messrs. Saccaro and Kass-Hout were not NEOs for fiscal 2022 and Mr. Rott was not an NEO for fiscal 2022 or 2023. As discussed in this proxy statement, we became an independent public company effective January 3, 2023.

The following table reflects the adjusted pre-Spin-Off stock awards and Options granted by GE to our NEOs in 2022 and the post-Spin-Off equity awards granted by GE HealthCare to our NEOs. The value of our pre-Spin-Off stock awards reflect the post-Spin-Off conversion ratio, which was equal to the closing share price of GE immediately prior to the Spin-Off on January 3, 2023 ($60.18), divided by the volume weighted average share price of GE HealthCare’s stock on the first trading day following the Spin-Off, January 4, 2023, which resulted in an equity conversion ratio of 1.412087. No conversion was required for awards granted after the Spin-Off.

Summary Compensation Table
(1)Represents the aggregate grant date fair value of RSUs and PSUs pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Awards, disregarding the effect of estimated forfeitures. The value is reflective of the amount the Company expects to expense for accounting purposes over the awards’ vesting schedules and does not correspond to the actual values that NEOs will realize from the award. For 2024, RSUs include annual RSUs awarded under the LTI Program and RSUs awarded to Mr. Rott in connection with his promotion to President and CEO, Imaging. For 2024, PSU awards include annual PSUs awarded under the LTI Program, the 2024 tranche of Mr. Arduini’s 2022 New-Hire PSUs granted by GE in 2022 prior to our Spin-Off, and PSUs awarded to Mr. Rott in connection with his promotion. The aggregate grant date fair value of the PSUs is calculated based on the most probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the grant date. The aggregate grant date fair value of these 2024 awards assuming maximum performance would be as follows: Mr. Arduini ($14,222,013 for his 2024 PSUs and $3,154,308 for the 2024 tranche of his 2022 New-Hire PSU award), Mr. Saccaro ($4,003,122), Mr. Kass-Hout ($3,897,823), Mr. Jimenez ($3,687,225), and Mr. Rott ($1,632,819 for his 2024 Annual PSUs and $915,847 for his promotional PSUs). For information on the assumptions used in valuing a particular year’s grant, see Note 16 on Share-Based Compensation in our 2024 Form 10-K. The 2024 PSUs are measured on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model with the following assumptions:

See the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table” on page 58 for additional information on the Bonus Plan. (4)Year-over-year changes in pension value generally are driven by changes in actuarial pension assumptions, increases in age, any additional service, and compensation, as applicable. In 2024, there was a net decrease in pension value for Mr. Arduini of $21,952 due to the increase in the discount rate in the U.S. Pension Plan. For Mr. Rott, there was a net decrease in pension value of $16,842 consisting of a $17,033 decrease due to the increase in the discount rate in the German Pension Plan and a $191 increase due to change in currency exchange rates. In accordance with SEC rules, no amount is reported in the table for the NEOs with a negative value. See “Pension Benefits” beginning on page 63 for additional information on these benefits. (5)We provide executives with other benefits that are market-competitive and contribute to attraction and retention of top talent.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End Table
(1)Number of Outstanding Shares for awards granted prior to 2023 reflect the post-Spin-Off conversion ratio. The conversion ratio was equal to the closing share price of GE immediately prior to the Spin-Off on January 3, 2023 ($60.18), divided by the volume weighted average share price of GE HealthCare’s stock on the first trading day following the Spin-Off, January 4, 2023, which resulted in an equity conversion ratio of 1.412087. Option exercise prices were also adjusted for the conversion ratio. No conversion was required for awards granted after the Spin-Off. (2)The market value of RSUs is calculated by multiplying the closing price of GE HealthCare stock as of December 31, 2024 ($78.18) (the last trading day for the year) by the number of shares underlying each award. In February 2025, the Compensation Committee certified Mr. Arduini’s 2022 New-Hire PSU performance as 92%; as a result, Mr. Arduini’s 2022 New-Hire PSUs awards are equal to 67,487 and vested on March, 1, 2025. (3)The market value of PSUs is calculated by multiplying the closing price of GE HealthCare stock as of December 31, 2024 ($78.18) (the last trading day for the year) by the number of shares underlying each award. With respect to the PSUs granted to NEOs on March 1, 2023, PSUs granted to Mr. Saccaro on June 1, 2023, PSUs granted to NEOs on March 1, 2024, and promotional PSUs granted to Mr. Rott on August 15, 2024, this value assumes satisfaction of the target-level payout based on Company performance through December 31, 2024 which has exceeded the threshold level of performance. Final payouts will be based on certified performance for the full three-year performance period in the first quarter following the end of the performance period. (4)Annual Options and RSUs granted since our Spin-Off vest over three and one-half years in three substantially equal installments on the 18-month, 30-month, and 42-month anniversary of the grant date. Mr. Rott’s promotional Options and RSUs granted on August 15, 2024 will vest in three substantially equal installments on September 1, 2025, September 1, 2026, and September 1, 2027, and one third of Mr. Saccaro’s annual Options and RSUs granted in 2023 vested on September 1, 2024, and the remaining Options and RSUs will vest in two substantially equal installments on September 1, 2025 and September 1, 2026, in each case, subject to the NEO’s continued employment through each such vesting date (with exceptions for certain termination events). For the Founders Options and RSUs, 50% vested on February 1, 2025 and 50% will vest on February 1, 2026, subject to the NEO’s continued employment through each such vesting date (with exceptions for certain termination events). For the new-hire RSUs granted to Messrs. Saccaro and Kass-Hout, 50% vested on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 50% will vest on the second anniversary of the grant date, subject to their continued employment through each such vesting date (with exceptions for certain termination events). PSUs vest after the end of the three-year performance period, contingent upon satisfaction of the performance criteria, and subject to the NEO’s continued employment through such vesting date (with exceptions for certain termination events). Annual Options and RSUs granted prior to our Spin-Off generally vest over two or three years (with exceptions for certain termination events).

Pension Benefits
Pension Benefits We provide retirement benefits to certain eligible employees based in the U.S. The GE HealthCare Pension Plan (“U.S. Pension Plan”) is a funded, tax-qualified plan. We maintain the GE Healthcare Pension Plan in Germany (GE Vorsorge Plan / “German Pension Plan”) for Germany-based employees, as described below.
Pension Benefits Table
Pension Benefits Table The table below shows the present value of the accumulated benefit as of December 31, 2024 for the NEOs under the U.S. Pension Plan (Mr. Arduini) and the German Pension Plan (Mr. Rott), as calculated based on the assumptions described below. Although the SEC rules require us to show this present value, the NEOs are not entitled to receive these amounts in a lump sum. None of the NEOs received a payment under either plan in 2024.

Pension Benefits Table
(1)The accumulated benefit is based on years of service and earnings (base salary and bonus) considered by the plans for the period through December 31, 2024. It also includes the value of contributions made by the NEOs throughout their careers. For purposes of calculating the present value, it is assumed that the NEOs will remain in service until the age at which they may retire without any reduction in benefits. For Mr. Arduini, this is age 60 under the U.S. Pension Plan. For Mr. Rott, this is age 63 under the Germany Pension Plan. It is also assumed that benefits are payable under the available forms of annuity. The assumptions for U.S. beneficiaries are consistent with the assumptions for the U.S. Pension Plan, including the statutory discount rate assumption of 5.67%, and the postretirement mortality assumption used for present value calculations is the Pri-2012 Healthy Retiree mortality table projected to 2016, adjusted for experience and factoring in projected generational improvements. For Mr. Rott, the assumptions are at a discount rate of 3.53% and a postretirement mortality assumption based upon the Heubeck 2018 G standard generational tables. For Mr. Rott, the present value of accumulated benefit is valued in Euros and converted for purposes of this disclosure at an exchange rate of $1.0820 per €1.00, the 2024 average noon buying rate certified for customs purposes by the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank of New York set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board. (2)For Mr. Arduini, there is no service cost under the GE HealthCare Pension Plan since the accruals have stopped. For Mr. Rott, there is no service cost under the German Pension Plan since his relocation from Germany to Austria on April 1, 2021. (3)Mr. Arduini’s pension benefits reflect his accrued benefits from his prior tenure with GE. Mr. Arduini’s credited service is limited to 15 years under the U.S. Pension Plan, from his prior tenure with GE before future accruals stopped effective January 1, 2021. (4)Mr. Rott’s pensionable service is limited to 9.7 years under the German Pension Plan when he relocated from Germany to Austria and stopped accruing additional pension benefits effective April 1, 2021.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control As described in “Severance and Change in Control Arrangements” beginning on page 53, the Executive Severance Plan provides for benefits in the event of certain qualifying terminations of employment. Potential Termination Payments. Below we describe and quantify certain compensation that would have been payable under existing compensation plans and arrangements had any of our NEO’s employment terminated on December 31, 2024. For this hypothetical calculation, we have used each NEO’s compensation and service levels as December 31, 2024, and, where applicable, GE HealthCare’s closing stock price on December 31, 2024. For the equity calculations, we show the intrinsic value of equity awards that would have vested or become exercisable under each termination scenario below as of December 31, 2024. Intrinsic value is based upon the Company’s stock price (minus the exercise price in the case of Options, with negative values for out-of-the-money Options shown as zero). Amounts shown assume the achievement of all applicable performance objectives at the target level. Our NEOs generally are not entitled to benefits if they leave voluntarily or are terminated for cause. Since many factors (e.g., the time of year when the event occurs, GE HealthCare’s stock price, NEO’s age, etc.) could affect the nature and amount of benefits NEOs could potentially receive, amounts paid or distributed upon a future termination may differ from those shown in the tables below. The amounts described below are in addition to benefits generally available to salaried employees, such as distributions available under defined contribution retirement programs and distributions under the Austria Severance Fund for Mr. Rott.

Pension Benefits. “Pension Benefits” beginning on page 63 describes the general terms of each pension plan in which our NEOs participate, the years of credited service, and the present value of their accumulated pension benefit (assuming payment begins at age 60 or 63, as noted above). The table below shows the pension benefits that would have become payable if the NEO had died, become disabled, voluntarily terminated their employment, or retired as of December 31, 2024. In the event of death before retirement, because Mr. Arduini has more than 15 years of service accrued during his prior tenure with GE, his surviving spouse may receive either an annuity, as if he had retired and elected the spousal 50% joint and survivor annuity option prior to death, or an immediate lump-sum payment based on five years of pension distributions, in each case based upon the accrued benefit. Mr. Rott is a terminated vested participant in the Germany Pension plan, if he passes away before age 60, his surviving spouse may choose to receive either a lump sum or 60% of the annuity, as if he had become disabled at the time of death. In the event a disability occurs before retirement, Messrs. Arduini and Rott could receive an annuity payment of accrued benefits under their respective plans.

Lump Sum Upon Death. Messrs. Arduini and Rott are not eligible for a lump sum payment. Annual Benefits Upon Death. For Messrs. Arduini and Rott, the annual amounts are payable for the life of the surviving spouse under their respective plans. Annual Benefits Upon Disability. For Mr. Arduini, the annual amount includes the 50% joint and survivor annuity under his plan. For Mr. Rott, the annual amount represents the 60% joint and survivor annuity under his plan. Annual Benefits Upon Voluntary Termination. Mr. Arduini is over age 60 and eligible to commence upon termination with the annual amount shown, which includes the 50% joint and survivor annuity. For Mr. Rott, the annual amount represents equivalent single life annuity of his notional account payable at age 63. Annual Benefits Upon Retirement. Mr. Arduini is over age 60 and eligible to retire with the annual amount shown, which includes the 50% joint and survivor annuity. For Mr. Rott, he is not eligible to retire until age 63. Deferred Compensation. The NEOs are entitled to receive the vested amount in their Restoration Plan account in the event of a termination of employment. Between the termination event and the date that distributions are made, these accounts would continue to be adjusted to reflect hypothetical investment gains and losses. Therefore, amounts received by NEOs would differ from those shown in the “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table” on page 63. Vested amounts under the Restoration Plan are paid in a lump sum, generally in July of the year following the year of the participant’s separation from service after execution of a release.

2024 CEO Pay Ratio
2024 CEO Pay Ratio As required under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (“Dodd-Frank Act”) and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K (“Item 402(u)”), below is information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of the individual identified in accordance with the process outlined below as our median paid employee excluding our CEO (the “Median Employee”) and the annual total compensation of our CEO, Mr. Arduini. Pay Ratio. Our Median Employee earned $73,078 in total compensation for 2024. The total 2024 compensation for Mr. Arduini as reported in the “Summary Compensation Table” beginning on page 56 was $19,487,880. Based upon total compensation for 2024, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of our Median Employee was calculated to be approximately 267 to 1. How we Identified the Median Employee. In accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we began with a decision to use the same median employee included in our last proxy statement because there has been no material change in our employee population or employee compensation arrangements that we believe would significantly impact the pay ratio disclosure. To identify our median employee, we started with our global employment records as of December 1, 2023, and determined we employed 53,401 full-time, part-time, temporary, and seasonal employees (excluding the CEO) (“Global Employees”) as of that date, including 16,771 in the U.S., and 36,630 outside of the U.S. Under the de minimis exemption rule of Item 402(u), we excluded 1,836, or approximately 3.4% of our Global Employees from 34 countries(1), resulting in a total of 51,565 Global Employees used to identify our median employee. All employees in these 34 countries were excluded. We then used the consistently applied compensation measure of annual base salary plus target bonus, each prorated to reflect time employed in 2023, to calculate compensation across the remaining Global Employee population to identify the median employee. We believe this compensation measure reasonably reflects the annual compensation of our Global Employees. Base salary and target bonuses were not annualized for any employees, and all currencies were converted to U.S. dollars using applicable conversion rates consistent with our accounting practices. How we Calculated the CEO Pay Ratio. The Median Employee’s 2024 annual total compensation was calculated using the Summary Compensation Table methodology for calculating total compensation under Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K and compared with total compensation of Mr. Arduini, as detailed in the Summary Compensation Table above, to arrive at the CEO pay ratio. (1)The following countries and corresponding number of employees were excluded from our pay ratio calculation: Mozambique (1), Luxembourg (2), Ukraine (3), Estonia (4), Slovakia (4), Pakistan (5), Nepal (6), Iraq (9), Serbia (9), Côte d’Ivoire (14), Bulgaria (17), Jordan (20), Morocco (21), Peru (26), Czechia (28), Kazakhstan (35), New Zealand (39), Bangladesh (40), Tunisia (48), Kenya (58), Nigeria (61), Philippines (69), Chile (70), Malaysia (86), Vietnam (86), Portugal (88), Romania (96), Argentina (109), Thailand (117), Belgium (118), South Africa (118), Switzerland (132), Algeria (141), Greece (156).

(1)CAP to our PEO and the average CAP to our non-PEO NEOs reflect adjustments from total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”). The assumptions used to calculate the values for RSUs, PSUs, and Options included in the calculation of CAP did not differ materially from those used to calculate the grant date fair value for such awards. A Monte Carlo simulation model was used to calculate the fair value for PSUs as of the applicable year-end measurement date. A Black-Scholes value was used for Options as of the applicable year-end or vesting date(s), determined using the same methodology used to determine grant date fair value, except that (1) the closing stock price on the applicable reevaluation date was used as the current market price and (2) a reduced expected life was used, given applicable time lapse since grant date. The calculation of CAP for the PEO and Non-PEO NEOs for 2024 is shown in the table below:

(2)The dollar amounts reported represent the average of amounts reported for our NEOs as a group (excluding our CEO) in the “Total” column of the SCT in each applicable year. The names of each of the NEOs included for these purposes in each applicable year are as follows: (1) for 2024, Messrs. Saccaro, Kass-Hout, Jimenez, and Rott, (2) for 2023, Messrs. Saccaro, Kass-Hout, Jimenez, Makela, and Zodl, and (3) for 2022, Messrs. Zodl, Jimenez, and Makela, and Ms. Larson. (3)Reflects our TSR, assuming dividend reinvestment, from January 4, 2023, through December 31, 2024. (4)The peer group used for this purpose is our Compensation Peer Group. See “Compensation Peer Group” on page 41 for more information. (5)Reflects Net income as reported in each of our Annual Reports on Form 10-K for 2024, 2023, and 2022. (6)For details on Organic revenue* for 2024, 2023, and 2022, see Item 7 in each of our Annual Reports on Form 10-K for 2024, 2023, and 2022. (7)We became an independent, public company effective January 3, 2023, but were required to report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act effective as of December 8, 2022. Because we were a subsidiary of GE during 2022, CAP actually paid to our NEOs was largely driven by GE’s stock price and did not bear a close relationship to our Net income or Organic revenue growth* for 2022. The Company did not have a TSR in 2022.
