ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Organization. On April 2, 2024 , General Electric Company, which now operates as GE Aerospace (GE or Parent ) completed the spin-off (the Spin-Off) of GE Vernova Inc. (the Company, GE Vernova, our, we, or us). The Spin-Off was completed through a distribution of all the Company's outstanding common stock to holders of record of GE's common stock as of the close of business on March 19, 2024 (the Distribution), which resulted in the issuance of approximately 274 million shares of common stock. As a result of the Distribution, the Company became an independent public company. Our common stock is listed under the symbol “GEV” on the New York Stock Exchange. In connection with the Spin-Off, GE contributed cash of $ 515 million to GE Vernova to fund future operations and transferred restricted cash of $ 325 million to us such that the Company’s cash balance upon completion of the Spin-Off was approximately $ 4,200 million . In connection with the Spin-Off, GE Vernova entered into several agreements with GE, including a separation and distribution agreement that sets forth certain agreements with GE regarding 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, including procedures with respect to claims subject to indemnification and related matters. Other agreements we entered into that govern aspects of our relationship with GE following the Spin-Off include: • Transition Services Agreement – governs all matters relating to the provision of services between the Company and GE on a transitional basis. The services the Company receives include support for digital technology, human resources, supply chain, finance, and real estate services, among others, that are generally intended to be provided for a period no longer than two years following the Spin-Off. • 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 fr
