GE Energy Supplementary Pension PlanExhibit 10.1
Amended as of January 1, 2025
Introduction
The GE Energy Supplementary Pension Plan consists of two parts as set forth herein. 
Part I describes Supplementary Pension Annuity Benefits, and Part II describes
Executive Retirement Installment Benefits.
Effective January 1, 2023 in anticipation of General Electric Company’s split into three
separate companies comprising General Electric Company’s aviation, healthcare, and
energy businesses, respectively, the benefits and liabilities under the GE
Supplementary Pension Plan (renamed the GE Aerospace Supplementary Pension
Plan) attributable to certain individuals were transferred to this Plan, as described in
Appendix A.  After December 31, 2022, no individual whose benefit was transferred to
this Plan from the GE Supplementary Pension Plan (nor any of their beneficiaries) shall
accrue additional benefits or service, or have any rights, under, or with respect to, the
GE Supplementary Pension Plan (even if such individual is subsequently employed by,
or has service with, the General Electric Company or the GE Affiliates), unless the
individual’s benefit is transferred back to the GE Supplementary Pension Plan in
accordance with Appendix A. Because this Plan is a continuation of the GE
Supplementary Pension Plan, this document includes the provisions of the GE
Supplementary Pension Plan that applied before January 1, 2023.  Effective January 1,
2025, the Plan is amended and restated as set forth herein.
Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, effective January 1, 2011, Part I of
the Plan is closed.  Accordingly, an Employee shall be eligible for a Supplementary
Pension Annuity Benefit only if he participated in this Plan on or before December 31,
2010 (and shall actually receive such benefit only if he meets all the other applicable
requirements therefor).  For purposes of determining whether an Employee participated
in the Plan on or before December 31, 2010:  (a) any period of service described in
Section XV(b) shall be disregarded and (b) an Employee shall be deemed to have met
such requirement if he waived participation in the GE Energy Pension Plan, but was
otherwise eligible to participate in this Plan and is not an Excluded Employee or
Ineligible Employee under the GE Energy Pension Plan.
Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, effective December 31, 2020,
benefits under Part I of the Plan are frozen, and no Employee shall accrue benefits
under Part I of the Plan after such date.  Prior to January 1, 2021, Part I and Part II of
the Plan provided mutually exclusive benefits, and eligible Employees earned their
entire benefits under the Plan either under Part I or Part II, but not both.  However,
Employees who are eligible for and participating under Part I of the Plan on
December 31, 2020, shall commence participation under Part II of the Plan on
January 1, 2021.  An Employee will be considered to be eligible for and participating
under Part I of the Plan and will be eligible to participate under Part II of the Plan only if,
on December 31, 2020, the Employee:  (A) was assigned to the GE executive or higher
career band; (B) was employed by the Company; and (C) was enrolled in the GE
Energy Pension Plan (i.e., had not waived or suspended participation in the GE Energy
Pension Plan).
2
Further notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, Part II of the Plan is closed
effective January 1, 2021.  Accordingly, an Employee shall be eligible for an Executive
Retirement Installment Benefit only if he was eligible for and participating under Part I or
Part II of the Plan on December 31, 2020 (and shall actually receive such benefit only if
he meets all the other applicable requirements therefor).  For the avoidance of doubt, an
Employee who was previously eligible for Part II of the Plan will not be eligible to accrue
future Benefit Service under Part II of the Plan if, on December 31, 2020, the Employee: 
(A) was not assigned to the GE executive or higher career band or (B) was not
employed by the Company.
The Benefits Administrative Committee may adopt such rules as it deems necessary to
determine which Part of the Plan applies to which Employees.
As described in Section XXIII, certain provisions of Part I apply to Part II, but no
provisions of Part II apply to Part I (except that the service disregard rule in
Section XV(b) shall apply in determining which Part of the Plan applies to which
Employees).
3
Part I:  Supplementary Pension Annuity Benefits
(closed to new participants and frozen)
As more fully described in the Introduction (and subject to the rules thereof), this
Part I of the Plan is closed effective January 1, 2011, and an Employee shall be eligible
to participate under this Part I (and not Part II) only if he participated in the Plan on or
before December 31, 2010 (and shall actually receive a benefit under this Part only if he
meets all the other applicable requirements therefor).  In addition, effective December
31, 2020, benefits under Part I of the Plan are frozen, and no Employee shall accrue
benefits under Part I of the Plan on and after such date.  Employees who were eligible
for and participating under this Part I of the Plan on December 31, 2020, shall
commence participation under Part II of the Plan on January 1, 2021.
Section I.Eligible Employees
Each Employee who (i) participated in the Plan on or before December 31, 2010, (ii) is
assigned to the Sponsor’s executive or higher career band (or a position of equivalent
responsibility as determined by the Benefits Administrative Committee), (iii) has five or
more years of Pension Qualification Service and (iv) is a participant in the GE Energy
Pension Plan shall be eligible to participate, and shall participate, in this Supplementary
Pension Plan to the extent of the benefits provided herein, provided that:
(a)the foregoing shall not apply to an Employee of a Company other than the
Sponsor which has not agreed to bear the cost of this Plan with respect to
its Employees;
(b)except as provided in Section V, an Employee who retires under the
optional retirement provisions of the GE Energy Pension Plan before the
first day of the month following attainment of age 60, or an Employee who
leaves the Service of the Company before attainment of age 60, shall not
be eligible for a Supplementary Pension under this Plan; and
(c)no individual shall accrue a benefit under this Part I in respect of any
period after December 31, 2020.
An employee of any other company who participates in the GE Energy Pension Plan,
though the employing company does not participate in the GE Energy Pension Plan,
shall be eligible for benefits under this Plan, provided that such employee meets the job
position requirement specified above, and the employee’s participation in the
Supplementary Pension Plan is accepted by the Benefits Administrative Committee.
An Employee who was eligible to participate in this Plan by virtue of his assigned
position level or position of equivalent responsibility throughout any consecutive three
years of the fifteen year period ending on either the last day of the month preceding his
termination of Service date for retirement or December 31, 2020, and who meets the
other requirements specified in this Section shall be eligible for the benefits provided
herein even though he does not meet the eligibility requirements on the date his Service
terminates.
4
The Benefits Administrative Committee, or its delegate, may approve the continued
participation in the Plan of an individual who is localized outside the United States as an
employee of the Company or an Affiliate and who otherwise meets all of the eligibility
conditions set forth herein during such localization.  The designated individual’s service
and pay while localized, with appropriate offsets for local country benefits, shall be
counted in calculating his Supplementary Pension.  Such calculation and the individual’s
entitlement to any benefits herein shall be determined consistent with the principles of
the Plan as they apply to participants who are not localized, provided that the Benefits
Administrative Committee, or its delegate, may direct such other treatment, if any, as it
deems appropriate.
An Employee who was eligible to participate under this Part I of the Plan and who,
before becoming entitled to a Supplementary Pension under this Part I of the Plan, left
the Service of the Company and all Affiliates shall not again become eligible for a
Supplementary Pension under this Part I of the Plan during any period of reemployment
with the Company that commences on or after January 1, 2021.
Section II.Definitions
(a)Annual Estimated Social Security Benefit - The Annual Estimated Social
Security Benefit shall mean the annual equivalent of the maximum
possible Primary Insurance Amount payable, after reduction for early
retirement, as an old-age benefit to an employee who retired at age 62 on
January 1st of the calendar year in which occurred the earliest of the
following three dates:  (1) the Employee’s actual date of retirement, (2) the
Employee’s date of death, or (3) December 31, 2020; provided, however,
that in the case of an Employee who is a New Plan Participant on the date
of his termination of Service, age 65 shall be substituted for age 62 above. 
Such Annual Estimated Social Security Benefit shall be determined by the
Company in accordance with the Federal Social Security Act in effect at
the end of the calendar year immediately preceding such January 1st.
For determinations which become effective on or after January 1, 1978, if
an Employee has less than 35 years of Pension Benefit Service, the
Annual Estimated Social Security Benefit shall be the amount determined
under the first paragraph of this definition hereof multiplied by a factor, the
numerator of which shall be the number of years of the Employee’s
Pension Benefit Service to the earliest of the following three dates:  (1) his
date of retirement, (2) his date of death, or (3) December 31, 2020, and
the denominator of which shall be 35.
The Annual Estimated Social Security Benefit as so determined shall be
adjusted to include any social security, severance or similar benefit
provided under foreign law or regulation as the Benefits Administrative
Committee may prescribe.
(b)Annual Pension Payable under the GE Energy Pension Plan - The Annual
Pension Payable under the GE Energy Pension Plan shall mean the sum
5
of (1) the total annual past service annuity, future service annuity and
Personal Pension Account Annuity deemed to be credited to the Employee
as of the earliest of the following three dates:  (i) his date of retirement, (ii)
his date of death, or (iii) December 31, 2020, plus any interest that is
credited to the Personal Pension Account following December 31, 2020,
and any additional annual amount required to provide the minimum
pension under the GE Energy Pension Plan and (2) with respect to
pension amounts accrued through December 31, 2020, any annual
pension (or the annual pension equivalent of other forms of payment)
payable under any other pension plan, policy, contract, or government
program attributable to periods for which Pension Benefit Service is
granted by the Benefits Administrative Committee or is credited by the GE
Energy Pension Plan provided the Benefits Administrative Committee
determines such annual pension shall be deductible from the benefit
payable under this Plan.  All such amounts shall be determined before
application of any reduction factors for optional or disability retirement, for
election of any optional form of Pension at retirement, a qualified domestic
relations order(s), if any, or in connection with any other adjustment made
pursuant to the GE Energy Pension Plan or any other pension plan.
For the purposes of this paragraph, the Employee’s Annual Pension
Payable under the GE Energy Pension Plan shall include (1) the Personal
Pension Account Annuity deemed payable to the Employee or the
Employee’s spouse on the earliest of the following three dates:  (i) the
date of the Employee’s retirement, (ii) the date of the Employee’s death, or
(iii) December 31, 2020, as the case may be, regardless of whether such
annuity commenced on such date and (2) any interest that is credited to
the Personal Pension Account following December 31, 2020.
(c)Annual Retirement Income - For Employees who retire on or after July 1,
1988 or who die in active Service on or after such date, an Employee’s
Annual Retirement Income shall mean the amount determined by
multiplying 1.75% of the Employee’s Average Annual Compensation by
the number of years of Pension Benefit Service completed by the
Employee at the earliest of the following three dates:  (1) the date of his
retirement, (2) the date of his death, or (3) December 31, 2020.
(d)Average Annual Compensation - For purposes of Part I of the Plan,
Average Annual Compensation means one-third of the Employee’s
Compensation for the highest 36 consecutive months during the last
120 completed months before the earliest of the following dates:  (1) his
date of retirement, (2) his date of death, or (3) December 31, 2020.  For
purposes of Part II of the Plan, Average Annual Compensation means
one-third of the Employee’s Compensation for the highest 36 consecutive
months during the last 120 completed months before the earliest of the
following dates:  (1) if the Employee is demoted, the later of (A) the date
he ceases to be eligible to continue accruing Benefit Service solely
because he is no longer assigned to the Sponsor’s executive or higher
career band or (B) December 31, 2020; (2) his date of retirement; or (3)
the date of his death.  In computing an Employee’s Average Annual
Compensation, his normal straight-time earnings shall be substituted for
his actual Compensation for any month in which such normal straight-time
6
earnings are greater.  The Benefits Administrative Committee shall specify
the basis for determining any Employee’s Compensation for any portion of
the 120 completed months used to compute the Employee’s Average
Annual Compensation during which the Employee was not employed by
an employer participating in this Plan.
(e)Benefits Administrative Committee – For purposes of the Plan, “Benefits
Administrative Committee” means the GE Vernova Benefits Administrative
Committee.
(f)Cause - For purposes of Part I of the Plan, “Cause” means, as determined
in the sole discretion of the Benefits Administrative Committee, an
Employee’s:
(1)breach of the Employee Innovation and Proprietary Information
Agreement or any other confidentiality, non-solicitation, or non-
competition agreement with the Company or an Affiliate or breach
of a material term of any other agreement between the Employee
and the Company or an Affiliate;
(2)engagement in conduct that results in, or has the potential to cause,
material harm financially, reputationally, or otherwise to the
Company or an Affiliate;
(3)commission of an act of dishonesty, fraud, embezzlement or theft;
(4)conviction of, or plea of guilty or no contest to, a felony or crime
involving moral turpitude; or
(5)failure to comply with the Company’s and all Affiliate’s’ policies and
procedures, including but not limited to The Spirit and Letter.
(g)Compensation - For periods after December 31, 1969, “Compensation” for
the purposes of this Plan shall mean with respect to the period in question
salary (including any deferred salary approved by the Benefits
Administrative Committee as compensation for purposes of this Plan) plus:
(1)for persons then eligible for Incentive Compensation, the total
amount of any Incentive Compensation earned except to the extent
such Incentive Compensation is excluded by the Benefits
Administrative Committee;
(2)for persons who would then have been eligible for Incentive
Compensation if they had not been participants in a Sales
Commission Plan or other variable compensation plan, the total
amount of sales commissions (or other variable compensation
earned);
(3)for all other persons, the sales commissions and other variable
compensation earned by them but only to the extent such earnings
were then included under the GE Energy Pension Plan;
7
plus any amounts (other than salary and those mentioned in clauses
(1) through (3) above) which were then included as Compensation under
the GE Energy Pension Plan except any amounts which the Benefits
Administrative Committee may exclude from the computation of
“Compensation” and subject to the powers of the Committee under
Section IX hereof.
For periods before January 1, 1970, “Compensation” for the purposes of
this Plan has the same meaning as under the GE Energy Pension Plan
applying the rules in effect during such periods.
The definition set forth in this paragraph (e) shall apply to the calculation of
any and all Supplementary Pension benefits payable on and after January
1, 1976.  All such payments made prior to January 1, 1976 shall be
determined in accordance with the terms of the Plan in effect prior to such
date.
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in no event will
Incentive Compensation, commissions and similar variable compensation
paid after the end of the calendar year in which the Employee’s Service
terminates be disregarded as Compensation hereunder as a result of the
exclusion of such remuneration from Compensation under the GE Energy
Pension Plan pursuant to the last sentence of the first paragraph of the
definition of “Compensation” set forth in Section XXVI therein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Compensation” for purposes of Part I of
the Plan shall not include amounts of any type earned by an Employee
after December 31, 2020.
(h)GE Energy Excess Benefits Plan – means the GE Energy Excess Benefits
Plan. Prior to January 1, 2023, the GE Energy Excess Benefits Plan was
named the GE Excess Benefits Plan.

January 1, 2023, it means the GE Pension Plan, as then in effect.
(j)Grandfathered Employee - Grandfathered Employee means an Employee
who did not accrue or acquire a non-forfeitable interest in any benefits
hereunder on or after January 1, 2005.
(k)Grandfathered Plan Benefit - Grandfathered Plan Benefit means:
(1)in the case of Grandfathered Employees, their entire
Supplementary Pension hereunder.
(2)in the case of Grandfathered Specified Employees, the accrued,
non-forfeitable annuity to which the Grandfathered Specified
Employee would have been entitled under this Plan if the
8
Grandfathered Specified Employee voluntarily terminated
employment on December 31, 2004, and received a payment of the
benefits available from this Plan (A) on the earliest possible date
allowed under this Plan to receive a payment of benefits following
Separation from Service, and (B) in any payment form permitted
under the GE Energy Pension Plan on December 31, 2004.  If a
Grandfathered Specified Employee elects to receive benefits in the
form of a 75% Alternative Survivor Benefit under the principles of
Section IX.10 of the GE Energy Pension Plan, then his
Grandfathered Plan Benefit with respect to such form of distribution
shall be the portion attributable to his accrued benefit as of
December 31, 2004 as determined above and based on the
methodology set forth in Section IX.10 of the GE Energy Pension
Plan for converting benefits to this form of distribution.
(l)Grandfathered Specified Employee - Grandfathered Specified Employee
means a Specified Employee determined as of December 31, 2008 who
had a non-forfeitable interest hereunder as of December 31, 2004.

Chairmen, the President, the Vice Presidents (including Group Vice
Presidents and Senior Vice Presidents), Officer Equivalents and such
other Employees as the Benefits Administrative Committee may
designate.
(o)Pension Benefit Service - Pension Benefit Service shall have the same
meaning herein as in the GE Energy Pension Plan except that for periods
before January 1, 1976, the term Credited Service as a full-time Employee
shall also include all Service credited under the GE Energy Pension Plan
to such Employee for any period during which he was a full-time Employee
for purposes of such GE Energy Pension Plan.
Pension Benefit Service shall also include:
(1)any period of service with the Company or an Affiliate as the
Benefits Administrative Committee may otherwise provide by rules
and regulations issued with respect to this Plan, and,
(2)any period of service with another employer as may be approved
from time to time by the Benefits Administrative Committee but only
to the extent that any conditions specified in such approval have
been met.
No Employee shall be credited with Pension Benefit Service for purposes
of Part I of the Plan for any periods of employment after December 31,
2020.  An Employee’s Pension Benefit Service that is reinstated after
December 31, 2020, for purposes of the GE Energy Pension Plan
pursuant to Section XXI.3.a (Eligibility for Reinstatement) of such plan
9
shall be reinstated for purposes of this Plan only if such Employee has
been continuously in the Service of the Company or an Affiliate from
January 1, 2021, until the date of such reinstatement.
(p)Pension Qualification Service - Pension Qualification Service shall have
the same meaning herein as in the GE Energy Pension Plan except that
for periods before January 1, 1976 the term Credited Service used in
determining such Pension Qualification Service shall mean only Service
for which an Employee is credited with a past service annuity or a future
service annuity under the GE Energy Pension Plan (plus his first year of
Service where such year is recognized as additional Credited Service
under that Plan), except as the Benefits Administrative Committee may
otherwise provide by rules and regulations issued with respect to this Plan. 
Pension Qualification Service that is credited to an Employee under the
GE Energy Pension Plan after December 31, 2020, including service with
an Affiliate that is credited as Pension Qualification Service under Section
XVI.2 (Transfer to and from Non-Participating Companies) of the GE
Energy Pension Plan, will continue to be credited as Pension Qualification
Service under this Plan; provided, however, that an Employee who leaves
the Service of the Company and all Affiliates at any time and is
subsequently rehired by the Company or an Affiliate on or after January 1,
2021:
(1)will not have any Pension Qualification Service attributable to any
earlier period of employment with the Company or an Affiliate
reinstated, regardless of whether such Pension Qualification
Service is reinstated under Section XXI.3.a (Eligibility for
Reinstatement) or any other provision of the GE Energy Pension
Plan;
(2)will not be credited with any Pension Qualification Service
attributable to service with an Affiliate that does not participate in
this Plan, regardless of whether such service is credited as Pension
Qualification Service under Section XVI.2 (Transfer to and from
Non-Participating Companies) or any other provision of the GE
Energy Pension Plan; and
(3)will not be credited with Pension Qualification Service for purposes
of this Plan with respect to the Employee’s period of reemployment.
(q)Release - Release means a release and waiver of claims which may
include, among other things and where legally permissible, confidentiality,
cooperation, non-competition, non-solicitation and/or non-disparagement
requirements.

termination of employment with the Company and all Affiliates (defined for
purposes of this Plan as any company or business entity in which the
Sponsor has a 50% or more interest whether or not a participating
employer in the Plan); provided that, Separation from Service for purposes
of the Plan shall be interpreted consistent with the requirements of Section
409A and regulations and other guidance issued thereunder.  For
purposes of clarity, any references in this Plan to Service in the context of
10
determining the time or form of benefits will not extend beyond an
Employee’s Separation from Service.  For the avoidance of doubt, the
spinoffs of GE HealthCare and GE Vernova from the General Electric
Company shall not be treated as a Separation from Service.
(s)Service of the Company or an Affiliate - An Employee is in the “Service of
the Company or an Affiliate” if the Employee is employed by the Company
or an Affiliate or has terminated employment with the Company and all
Affiliates but has not had his protected service (also referred to as
“continuous service”) terminated under established Company procedures. 
An Employee who “leaves the Service of the Company and all Affiliates”
terminates employment with the Company and all Affiliates and has his
protected (or continuous) service terminated under established Company
procedures.
(t)Service with the Company - An Employee is in “Service with the Company”
if the Employee is employed by the Company or has terminated
employment with the Company but has not had his protected service (also
referred to as “continuous service”) terminated under established
Company procedures.
(u)Specified Employee - Specified Employee means a specified employee as
described in the Company’s Procedures for Determining Specified
Employees under Code Section 409A, as amended from time to time.
All other terms used in this Plan which are defined in the GE Energy Pension Plan shall
have the same meanings herein as therein, unless otherwise expressly provided in this
Plan.
Section III.Amount of Supplementary Pension at or After Normal Retirement
(a)The annual Supplementary Pension payable to an eligible Employee who
retires on or after his normal retirement date within the meaning of the GE
Energy Pension Plan shall be equal to the excess, if any, of the
Employee’s Annual Retirement Income, over the sum of:
(1)the Employee’s Annual Pension Payable under the GE Energy
Pension Plan;
(2)½ of the Employee’s Annual Estimated Social Security Benefit;
(3)the Employee’s annual excess benefit, if any, payable under the GE
Energy Excess Benefit Plan and/or any successor thereto; and
(4)The Employee’s annual benefit, if any, payable under the GE
Energy Executive Special Early Retirement Option and Plant
Closing Retirement Option Plan and/or any successor thereto.
Such Supplementary Pension shall be subject to the limitations specified
in Section IX.  An eligible Employee who did not retire hereunder before
January 1, 2021, must additionally remain continuously in the Service of
the Company or an Affiliate from January 1, 2021, until retirement on or
11
after his normal retirement date within the meaning of the GE Energy
Pension Plan in order to receive a Supplementary Pension computed
under this Section III(a).
(b)The Supplementary Pension of an Employee who continues in the Service
of the Company or an Affiliate after his normal retirement date shall not
commence before his actual retirement date following Separation from
Service, regardless of whether such Employee has attained age 70-½ and
commenced receiving his pension under the GE Energy Pension Plan.
(c)Consistent with established Company procedures, if an eligible Employee
commences his Supplementary Pension at the time set forth in
Section X(a) but remains in protected service for other purposes, his initial
Supplementary Pension Plan benefit shall be based on his service credits
earned up to the commencement date of his Supplementary Pension Plan
benefit.  Following the eligible Employee’s break in protected service, the
dollar amount (but not the time or form of distribution) of the eligible
Employee’s Supplementary Pension Plan benefit shall be adjusted
consistent with such procedures to take into account any additional
service credits the eligible Employee may have earned under the GE
Energy Pension Plan and any related offsets.  For periods on and after
January 1, 2021, “service credits” described in this Section III(c) shall not
include Pension Benefit Service, which shall not be credited under Part I of
this Plan to any Employee after December 31, 2020.
(d)For the avoidance of doubt, an individual who is not eligible for a benefit
under the GE Energy Pension Plan shall not be eligible for a
Supplementary Pension, and benefits under this Plan shall be determined
consistently with the intent not to duplicate benefits that are payable from
another plan.
Section IV.Amount of Supplementary Pension at Optional or Disability
Retirement
(a)The annual Supplementary Pension payable to an eligible Employee who,
following attainment of age 60, retires hereunder on an optional retirement
date within the meaning of Section V.1. of the GE Energy Pension Plan
shall be computed in the manner provided by Section III(a) (for an
Employee retiring on his normal retirement date) but taking into account
only Pension Benefit Service and Average Annual Compensation to the
earlier of the actual date of optional retirement or December 31, 2020. 
Such Supplementary Pension shall be subject to the limitations specified
in Section IX.  In the event such Employee is a New Plan Participant on
the date of his termination of Service, such Supplementary Pension, as so
limited, shall be reduced to reflect commencement before his normal
retirement date by applying the methodology provided under Section V.3.
of the GE Energy Pension Plan.  Consistent with the foregoing, such
reduction shall equal 5/12% for each month from the first month following
such Employee’s Separation from Service to his normal retirement date. 
Said reduction shall not be imposed, however, in the event such
Employee’s Separation from Service occurs on or after the Employee’s (1)
attainment of at least age 62 and (2) completion of at least 25 years of
Pension Qualification Service.  An eligible Employee who did not retire
12
hereunder before January 1, 2021, must additionally remain continuously
in the Service of the Company or an Affiliate from January 1, 2021, until
retirement on an optional retirement date within the meaning of
Section V.1 of the GE Energy Pension Plan in order to receive a
Supplementary Pension computed under this Section IV(a).
(b)The annual Supplementary Pension payable to an eligible Employee who
retires on a Disability Pension under Section VII of the GE Energy Pension
Plan and who qualifies as disabled by receiving income replacement
benefits under a Company plan for a period of not less than three months
and otherwise meeting the requirements under Treasury regulation
section 1.409A-3(i)(4) and regulations and other guidance issued
thereunder shall first be computed in the manner provided by Section III(a)
(for an Employee retiring on his normal retirement date) taking into
account only Pension Benefit Service and Average Annual Compensation
to the earlier of the actual date of disability retirement or December 31,
2020.  Such Supplementary Pension shall be subject to the limitations
specified in Section IX.  In the event the Employee is a New Plan
Participant, such Supplementary Pension, as so limited, shall be reduced
by 25% consistent with the methodology provided under Section VII.3. of
the GE Energy Pension Plan to reflect commencement before the
Employee’s earliest optional retirement age.  An eligible Employee who did
not retire hereunder before January 1, 2021, must additionally remain
continuously in the Service of the Company or an Affiliate from January 1,
2021, until retirement on a Disability Pension under Section VII of the GE
Energy Pension Plan in order to receive a Supplementary Pension
computed under this Section IV(b).
If the Disability Pension payable to the Employee under the GE Energy
Pension Plan is discontinued thereunder as a result of the cessation of the
Employee’s disability prior to the attainment of age 60, the Supplementary
Pension provided under this Section IV(b) shall be forfeited and the
Employee shall only be eligible for a Supplementary Pension to the extent
he separately qualifies under another provision set forth herein.
Section V.Special Benefit Protection for Certain Employees
(a)A former Employee whose Service with the Company is terminated on or
after June 27, 1988, before attainment of age 60 and after completion of
25 or more years of Pension Qualification Service who does not withdraw
his contributions from the GE Energy Pension Plan before retirement and
who meets one of the following conditions shall be eligible for a
Supplementary Pension under this Plan commencing at the time set forth
in Section X.(a).  An eligible Employee who did not meet such
requirements before January 1, 2021, must additionally remain
continuously in the Service of the Company or an Affiliate from January 1,
2021, until meeting one of the following conditions to be eligible for a
Supplementary Pension under this Plan.
(1)The Employee’s Service is terminated because of a Plant Closing.
13
(2)The Employee’s Service is terminated for transfer to a Successor
Employer.  The conditions of this paragraph (2) shall not be
satisfied, however, if the transferred Employee retires under the GE
Energy Pension Plan before July 1, 2000 and prior to the later of
(A) his termination of service with the Successor Employer and
(B the first of the month following attainment of age 60.  For the
avoidance of doubt, this Section V(a) shall not apply if all Plan
liabilities with respect to the Employee are transferred to a spin-off
plan maintained by such Successor Employer or an affiliate thereof.
(3)The Employee’s Service terminated after one year on layoff with
protected service.
Effective July 1, 1994 and regardless of whether the Employee terminated
Service on, before or after such date, for purposes of this Section V(a) and
any other provision of this Plan, a former Employee will be deemed to
have withdrawn his contributions from the GE Energy Pension Plan at
such time the payment of benefits attributable to such contributions
commences, regardless of whether such contributions are paid in the form
of a lump sum or an annuity.
(b)The Supplementary Pension, if any, for Employees who meet the
conditions in Section V(a) shall be calculated in accordance with the
provisions of Section IV(a) (other than the requirement to remain
continuously in the Service of the Company or an Affiliate from January 1,
2021, until retirement), including the imposition of the reduction described
therein to reflect a commencement date occurring before normal
retirement date in the case of Employees who are New Plan Participants
on the date of their termination of Service.  For purposes of making this
calculation, the Employee’s:  (1) Pension Benefit Service to the earlier of
the Service termination date or December 31, 2020, shall be considered;
(2) Average Annual Compensation shall be based on the last 120
completed months before the earlier of such Service termination date or
December 31, 2020; and (3) Annual Estimated Social Security Benefit
shall be determined as though the Employee’s retirement date was the
earlier of such Service termination date or December 31, 2020.
(c)No Supplementary Pension shall be payable to any former Employee who
elects to accelerate the commencement of his pension under the GE
Energy Pension Plan under Section XI.4.b(iii) therein, nor shall any death
or survivor benefits be payable hereunder with respect to such an
Employee.
(d)In the event a former Employee whose Service with the Company was
terminated under circumstances entitling him to a benefit pursuant to this
Section V is reemployed, such Employee will retain a non-forfeitable
interest in a benefit equal to the amount payable under this provision
attributable to such Employee’s first period of service (with the calculation
of any offsets determined in accordance with established administrative
practices and based upon assumptions in effect as of such Employee’s
first termination date).  The same principle shall apply in determining the
non-forfeitable interest hereunder of similarly-situated Employees with less
14
than 25 years of Pension Qualification Service who, as a result of
Company or Benefits Administrative Committee action, attained a non-
forfeitable interest in their Supplementary Pension upon transfer to a
successor employer and are subsequently re-employed by the Company.
(e)In the event General Electric Company announces its intention to dispose
of a predominant share of the businesses of General Electric Capital
Corporation and its subsidiaries, Employees of any such GE Capital
operations to be disposed of or discontinued in connection with such
action will be eligible for Special Benefit Protection treatment as described
in this Section V by meeting the conditions for such treatment set forth in
this Section V, except that they will only be required to have completed at
least 10 years (instead of 25 years) of Pension Qualification Service as of
their termination because of a Plant Closing, transfer to Successor
Employer or layoff after one year on protected service.  This paragraph (e)
shall not apply to an Employee who terminates Service for any other
reason, or is assigned to (or offered employment with) any continuing
operation of the Company or any Affiliate (including a continuing GE
Capital operation).  This paragraph (e) also shall not apply unless the
Employee executes a Release on such terms and in such manner as the
Company may require in its absolute discretion.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Benefits Administrative Committee may in its absolute
discretion prescribe such additional conditions and other rules as it deems
necessary or advisable in applying this paragraph (e), including the
designation of groups of employees who shall and shall not be eligible for
this Special Benefit Protection treatment.
This paragraph (e) is intended to serve as a special retention arrangement
in connection with General Electric Company’s announcement to dispose
of a predominant share of the businesses of General Electric Capital
Corporation and its subsidiaries.  This paragraph (e) shall not apply to any
employee who terminates service prior to such an announcement or is on
protected service at the time of such announcement, except as otherwise
provided by the Benefits Administrative Committee in its absolute
discretion.
(f)Employees of the General Electric Company (“GE”) corporate division who
are laid off as a result of the November 9, 2021 announcement to
restructure into three industry leading public companies focused on
aviation, healthcare and energy (the “Transition”) will be eligible for
Special Benefit Protection treatment described in this Section V by
meeting the conditions for such treatment set forth in this Section V,
except that the service eligibility requirement will be met if they have
completed at least 10 years (instead of 25 years) of Pension Qualification
Service as of their Separation from Service, or would have completed at
least 10 years of Pension Qualification Service by December 31, 2023. 
This paragraph (f) shall not apply to an Employee who (i) is laid off from
any other business or division of GE, (ii) is laid off from the corporate
division of GE for any other reason, (iii) is assigned to (or offered
employment with) any continuing operation of the Company or any Affiliate
or their successor entities or (iv) as of March 1, 2022, is an executive
officer and Senior Vice President or above of GE.  This paragraph (f) also
15
shall not apply unless the Employee executes a Release on such terms
and in such manner as the Company may require in its absolute
discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Benefits Administrative
Committee may in its absolute discretion prescribe such additional
conditions and other rules as it deems necessary or advisable in applying
this paragraph (f), including the designation of groups of employees who
shall and shall not be eligible for this Special Benefit Protection treatment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and any provision of this Plan to the
contrary, if the employment of an Employee who vests in a Supplementary
Pension pursuant to this paragraph (f) is terminated for Cause or if the
Benefits Administrative Committee determines in its sole discretion that
such Employee has engaged in conduct that (i) constitutes a breach of the
Release, (ii) results in (or has the potential to cause) material harm
financially, reputationally, or otherwise to the Company or an Affiliate or
their successor entities or (iii) occurred prior to the Employee’s Separation
from Service and would give rise to a termination for Cause (regardless of
whether such conduct is discovered before, during or after the Employee’s
Separation from Service), the Employee shall forfeit the Employee’s right
to any unpaid Supplementary Pension under this Plan and may be
required to repay any Supplementary Pension amounts previously paid
under the Plan to the extent recovery is permitted by law.  The remedy
under this subsection (f) is not exclusive and shall not limit any right of the
Company or any Affiliate under applicable law, including (but not limited to)
a remedy under (i) Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, (ii) any applicable rules or regulations promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission or any national securities exchange
or national securities association on which shares of the Company may be
traded, and/or (iii) any Company policy adopted with respect to
compensation recoupment.
Section VI.Survivor Benefits
If a survivor benefit applies with respect to an Employee’s Supplementary Pension
pursuant to Section X below, his Supplementary Pension shall be reduced in the same
manner as the pension payable under the GE Energy Pension Plan is reduced under
such circumstances in accordance with the principles of Section IX of the GE Energy
Pension Plan.
Section VII.Payments Upon Death
If an eligible Employee dies in active Service or following retirement on a
Supplementary Pension, or if a former Employee entitled to a Supplementary Pension
pursuant to Section V dies prior to such retirement, (1) the principles of Section X of the
GE Energy Pension Plan (disregarding any references therein to Employee
contributions) shall apply to determine whether a death benefit is payable to the
beneficiary or Surviving Spouse of such Employee under this Supplementary Pension
16
Plan, and (2) any such death benefit shall be computed and paid in accordance with
such principles, based on the Supplementary Pension payable under this Plan;
provided, however, that:
(a)with respect to any pre-retirement death benefit attributable to Non-
Grandfathered Plan Benefits where a Surviving Spouse otherwise would
have a choice to receive such benefit as an annuity in accordance with the
principles of Section X.9 of the GE Energy Pension Plan (Preretirement
Spouse Benefit) or as a lump sum in accordance with the principles of
either Section X.2 (Five Year Certain (Death After Optional Retirement
Age)) or Section X.3 (Five Year Certain (Death After 15 Years Pension
Qualification Service)) of the GE Energy Pension Plan, the lump sum
value of such benefit under each applicable paragraph shall be
determined (in the case of the Preretirement Spouse Benefit, based on the
actuarial assumptions described in paragraph 3 of Section XV of the GE
Energy Pension Plan), and then the Surviving Spouse shall receive
whichever resulting lump sum value is larger as of the first day of the
month following the Employee’s death.  For purposes of clarity, such
Surviving Spouse shall not be eligible to receive an annuity in the form of
the Preretirement Spouse Benefit under the principles of Section X.9 of
the GE Energy Pension Plan;
(b)with respect to any post-retirement death benefit attributable to Non-
Grandfathered Plan Benefits under the principles of Section X.11 of the
GE Energy Pension Plan (Five Year Certain (No Survivor Benefit)), the
calculation of the lump sum shall be determined without making any
discount to present value.  Consistent with the foregoing, such lump sum
shall equal the excess of (1) 5 times the Employee’s Supplementary
Pension payable as a single life annuity over (2) the total payments under
this Plan to the Employee; and
(c)no pre-retirement death benefit shall be payable under this Section VII to
an Employee who dies in active Service while reemployed after the
Employee left the Service of the Company and all Affiliates, if the
Employee left the Service of the Company and all Affiliates:  (1) on or after
January 1, 2021, and (2) before becoming entitled to a Supplementary
Pension under this Part I of the Plan.
Section VIII.Employees Retired Before July 1, 1973
[Reserved-See Section VIII of this Plan prior to this reservation.]
Section IX.Limitation on Benefits
(a)Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if the sum of:
(1)the Supplementary Pension otherwise payable to an Employee
hereunder;
(2)the Employee’s Annual Pension Payable under the GE Energy
Pension Plan;
17
(3)100% of the Annual Estimated Social Security Benefit but before
any adjustment for less than 35 years of Pension Benefit Service;
(4)the Employee’s annual excess benefit, if any, payable under the GE
Energy Excess Benefit Plan and/or any successor thereto; and
(5)The Employee’s annual benefit, if any, payable under the GE
Energy Executive Special Early Retirement Option and Plant
Closing Retirement Option Plan and/or any successor thereto;
exceeds 60% of his Average Annual Compensation (with such
Supplementary Pension and the amounts set forth in (2), (4) and (5) above
determined before imposition of any applicable reduction factor or
adjustment for optional or disability retirement, a survivor benefit or
otherwise), such Supplementary Pension (as so determined) shall be
reduced by the amount of the excess.  Any further reductions or
adjustments prescribed herein, including those applicable to Employees
who are New Plan Participants on the date of their termination of Service,
shall be applied against such reduced Supplementary Pension.
(b)Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan (other than Section XIV(e)) to
the contrary, the amount of Supplementary Pension and any death or
survivor benefit payable to or on behalf of any Employee who is or was an
Officer shall be determined in accordance with such general rules and
regulations as may be adopted by the Benefits Administrative Committee,
subject to the limitation that any such Supplementary Pension or death
benefit may not exceed the amount which would be payable hereunder in
the absence of such rules and regulations.
Section X.Payment of Supplementary Pension Benefits
(a)Time and Form of Payment.  This Section governs the time and form of
payment of the Supplementary Pension on and after the retirement of an
eligible Employee.  See Section VII above for certain additional rules
regarding Payments on Death.
(1)General Provisions.  Supplementary Pensions shall be payable in
monthly installments, each equal to 1/12th of the annual amount
determined under the applicable Section.  In addition, the
provisions of the GE Energy Pension Plan with respect to the
following shall apply to amounts payable under this Plan:
(A)The date of the last payment of any Supplementary Pension.
(B)Treatment of amounts payable to a missing person.
In no event shall the accelerated payment option of
Section XI.4.b(iii) of the GE Energy Pension Plan apply with respect
to this Plan.
18
(2)Grandfathered Plan Benefits.  Payment of Supplementary
Pensions provided for herein which are attributable to
Grandfathered Plan Benefits shall be in the same form and
commence as of the same date as distribution is made pursuant to
the Participant’s election under the GE Energy Pension Plan
(subject to the special rule in Section III(b) of this Plan for
Employees over age 70-½).
(3)Non-Grandfathered Plan Benefits.
(A)Time of Payment.
(i)Except as provided in paragraph (ii) below (relating to
disability pensions), all payments of Non-
Grandfathered Plan Benefits shall commence on the
first day of the month after the Employee’s Separation
from Service or the Employee’s attainment of age 60,
if later; provided, however, that if an Employee is a
Specified Employee, payment of any Non-
Grandfathered Plan Benefit shall not be made within
the first six months following the Employee’s
Separation from Service.  In the event distribution to a
Specified Employee is so delayed, payment of the
Non-Grandfathered Plan Benefit shall begin on the
first day of the seventh month following Separation
from Service and the first such payment shall be
increased to reflect the missed payments (with
interest accumulated in accordance with Benefits
Administrative Committee procedures).
(ii)Payment of Supplementary Pensions attributable to
disability as provided for in Section IV(b) shall
commence on the first day of the month after the
Employee’s Separation from Service; provided,
however, that the Employee shall forfeit any payments
attributable to months prior to the first date on which a
Disability Pension is actually paid under Section VII of
the GE Energy Pension Plan.  For this purpose, any
retroactive payments that may be made under the GE
Energy Pension Plan shall be disregarded and no
corresponding retroactive payments shall be made
hereunder.
(B)Form of Payment.  Unless an Employee makes an effective
election pursuant to paragraph (B)(i) below, such benefits
shall be paid as a 50% Survivor Benefit in accordance with
the principles of Section IX.1 and other provisions of the GE
Energy Pension Plan applicable thereto (for Employees who
are married at the time their Supplementary Pension begins)
or as a single life annuity in accordance with the principles of
Section XV, X.11 and other provisions of the GE Energy
Pension Plan applicable thereto (for Employees who are not
married at the time their Supplementary Pension begins);
provided, however, that:
19
(i)As an alternative to the normal distribution forms set
forth in this paragraph (B), a married Employee may
elect to receive all payments of Non-Grandfathered
Plan Benefits as a single life annuity as described
above, a 100% Alternative Survivor Benefit in
accordance with the principles of Section IX.3 and
other provisions of the GE Energy Pension Plan
applicable thereto, or a 75% Alternative Survivor
Benefit in accordance with the principles of Section
IX.10 and other provisions of the GE Energy Pension
Plan applicable thereto.  In the case of a disability
pension payable under Section IV(b) above, however,
the 100% Alternative Survivor Benefit shall not be
available.  An election under this paragraph may not
be made more than 60 days following the date as of
which payment is otherwise to commence in
accordance with paragraph (3)(A) above.  For
purposes of clarity, if an Employee is a Specified
Employee for whom the Non-Grandfathered Plan
Benefit is delayed in accordance with paragraph
(3)(A)(i) above, an election under this paragraph may
be made anytime within the first six months following
the Employee’s Separation from Service.  If such
Specified Employee dies during the six-month delay,
the Specified Employee will be treated as if he retired
before death, without regard to such delay, and
commenced receiving his benefit either in accordance
with his actual election under this paragraph as to the
form of distribution, or in accordance the rules in
paragraph (3)(B) above if no such election was made
before death.
(ii)Regardless of the initial form of payment for Non-
Grandfathered Plan Benefits, the revocation feature
provided in Section IX.8 of the GE Energy Pension
Plan shall not apply to Non-Grandfathered Plan
Benefits.
(b)Impact of Reemployment.  If an Employee is reemployed by the
Company or an Affiliate, the following provisions shall apply with respect to
the determination of the Employee’s Supplementary Pension:
(1)Grandfathered Plan Benefits.  If the Employee’s pension under
the GE Energy Pension Plan is suspended or may not commence
for any month in accordance with the re-employment provisions of
that plan, the Employee’s Supplementary Pension attributable to
Grandfathered Plan Benefits that would otherwise be payable
during such re-employment shall be forfeited under this Plan.  For
this purpose, any addition to the Employee’s Supplementary
Pension which he may earn hereunder following such re-
employment shall not cause such Grandfathered Plan Benefits to
be reclassified as Non-Grandfathered Plan Benefits.  Upon the
Employee’s subsequent Separation from Service, the Employee’s
original distribution election, if any, with respect to such original
20
Grandfathered Plan Benefits shall be disregarded and such original
Grandfathered Plan Benefit (adjusted for any additional accrual or
reduction) will be paid in accordance with the terms of the Plan in
effect at the time of such subsequent Separation from Service
applicable to Non-Grandfathered Plan Benefits.  If such subsequent
Separation from Service is by reason of death, any survivor or
death benefits attributable to such original Grandfathered Plan
Benefits (as so adjusted) will be determined in accordance with this
Plan’s pre-retirement death and survivor benefit provisions then
applicable to Non-Grandfathered Plan Benefits.  The preceding two
sentences shall not apply to Grandfathered Specified Employees.
(2)Non-Grandfathered Plan Benefits.  If the Employee is rehired
after having commenced receiving his Supplementary Pension, and
in accordance with the terms of the GE Energy Pension Plan, the
Employee would have had his pension therefrom suspended upon
such re-employment, the Employee shall forfeit any benefits from
this Plan attributable to his Non-Grandfathered Plan Benefit that
would otherwise be payable during such re-employment.  Upon the
Employee’s subsequent Separation from Service:
(A)If the Employee’s Non-Grandfathered Plan Benefit is the
same or has decreased, then:
(i)the Non-Grandfathered Plan Benefit earned during
the first period of employment will resume
immediately in the same form of distribution and with
the same conversion and reduction factors that
applied to the original distribution of such benefit;
(ii)if such original distribution form was a 50% Survivor
Benefit, 75% Alternative Survivor Benefit or 100%
Alternative Survivor Benefit, any survivor benefits will
be payable only if the Surviving Spouse was married
to the Participant at the time of his original retirement;
and
(iii)such benefit will be reduced, as necessary, if the
Employee’s Non-Grandfathered Plan Benefit
decreases as a result of his second period of
employment.
If such subsequent Separation from Service is by reason of
death, then any death or survivor benefits attributable to
Non-Grandfathered Plan Benefits will be based on such
original form of distribution with payment commencing on the
first of the month following death.  Survivor benefits will be
payable only if the Surviving Spouse was married to the
Employee at the time of his original retirement and is
otherwise eligible to receive payments hereunder.
21
(B)If the Non-Grandfathered Plan Benefit payable upon such
subsequent Separation from Service has increased as a
result of the Employee’s second period of employment, then
the above provisions set forth in paragraph (2)(A) will govern
the Non-Grandfathered Plan Benefit earned during the first
period of employment (as applicable), and the following will
apply to any additional Non-Grandfathered Plan Benefit:
(i)the additional benefit amount shall be distributed
separately commencing on the first of the month
following such subsequent Separation from Service
based upon the Employee’s age, marital status and
the otherwise applicable Plan terms at that time and
any new distribution election made by the Employee
in accordance with Section X(a)(3) above, and
(ii)if such subsequent Separation from Service is by
reason of death, any survivor or death benefits
attributable to such additional Non-Grandfathered
Plan Benefit will be determined separately in
accordance with this Plan’s pre-retirement death and
survivor benefit provisions.
(3)If an Employee is rehired under circumstances where he previously
accrued a non-forfeitable interest in his Non-Grandfathered Plan
Benefit but had not commenced receiving such benefit prior to his
reemployment, the following shall apply:
(A)Such Employee shall forfeit the dollar amount of any Plan
Benefits that would otherwise be paid while re-employed. 
However, such Employee will continue to retain an interest in
the Plan (herein referred to as his “retained interest”) equal
to the original non-forfeitable amount, as determined in
accordance with Section V(d) above.
(B)Such retained interest and any additional Non-Grandfathered
Plan Benefit to which the Employee is entitled shall be
payable following the Employee’s subsequent Separation
from Service at the time and in the manner provided in
Section X(a)(3).  If the Employee dies before retirement, any
survivor or death benefits attributable to such retained
interest will be determined in accordance with this Plan’s
pre-retirement death and survivor benefit provisions.
(C)If the Employee continues in service after attaining age 60,
the Employee’s retained interest shall commence after his
subsequent Separation from Service at the time and in the
manner provided in Section X(a)(3) and shall be calculated
using reduction and conversion factors applicable to an age
60 commencement (but based on the spouse at actual
retirement, if any).
(c)Beneficiary and Spousal Consent.  An Employee’s beneficiary for the
purposes of this Plan shall be the beneficiary designated by him under the
22
GE Energy Pension Plan, except in those instances where a separate
beneficiary designation is in effect under this Plan.  The provisions of the
GE Energy Pension Plan with respect to the designation or selection of a
beneficiary shall apply to the designation or selection of a beneficiary
under this Plan.  For purposes of clarity, the requirement in the GE Energy
Pension Plan for a Spouse’s Consent to the designation or selection of a
beneficiary, or the election of alternative distribution forms hereunder, shall
apply under this Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of Non-
Grandfathered Plan Benefits, any elections governing beneficiaries made
in accordance with Section VII(b) of this Plan, as restated July 1, 1991, or
subsequent actions of the Company related thereto, shall continue to
apply.  No such elections, however, shall direct a different time or form of
payment of Non-Grandfathered Plan Benefits from the time and form of
payment prescribed under this Plan, nor shall any Employee who did not
make such an election before this restatement be permitted to submit such
an election.
(d)With respect to Non-Grandfathered Plan Benefits, any provision of this
Section X or other provision of this Plan that refers to the time or form of
benefits under the GE Energy Pension Plan shall be deemed to be a
reference to the terms of the GE Energy Pension Plan in effect on
December 31, 2008.
(e)The Company shall be entitled to withhold all applicable withholding taxes,
including, but not limited to, federal income taxes, Federal Insurance
Contributions Act (“FICA”) taxes, and state income taxes, from an
Employee’s Supplementary Pension.  The actuarially determined present
value of an Employee’s Supplementary Pension is required by law to be
subject to FICA taxation (Social Security tax, Medicare tax, and if
applicable, additional Medicare tax) on the date on which the present
value of the Employee’s Supplementary Pension becomes reasonably
ascertainable (generally, the date on which the Employee makes an
effective election as to the form of payment).  As a condition of
participation in the Plan, the Employee shall be required to make
arrangements to satisfy the required FICA tax withholding, including being
required to remit to the Company the amount necessary to satisfy his or
her withholding requirements.  The Company shall have the power and the
right to withhold the amount necessary to satisfy an Employee’s FICA tax
obligation from the amount payable under the Plan or to establish other
means to satisfy such obligation, including, to the extent permitted by law,
the Company’s payment of any required tax on the Employee’s behalf
subject to repayment by the Employee, as specified under a policy
adopted by the Benefits Administrative Committee.
Section XI.Administration
(a)This Plan shall be administered by the Benefits Administrative Committee,
which shall have authority to make, amend, interpret and enforce all
appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of this Plan and
decide or resolve in its sole and absolute discretion any and all questions
or claims, including interpretations of this Plan, as may arise in connection
with this Plan.
23
(b)In the administration of this Plan, the Benefits Administrative Committee
may, from time to time, employ agents and delegate to them such
administrative duties as it sees fit and may from time to time consult with
counsel who may also serve as counsel to the Company.  The Benefits
Administrative Committee may also delegate to other persons or other
entities any or all of its authority, responsibilities, obligations and duties
with respect to the Plan in accordance with the charter for the Benefits
Administrative Committee.  If the Company, Benefits Administrative
Committee, or other plan fiduciary (an “Advisee”) engages attorneys,
accountants, actuaries, consultants, and other service providers (an
“Advisor”) to advise them on issues related to a Plan or the Advisee’s
responsibilities under the Plan:
(1)The Advisor’s client is the Advisee and not any employee,
participant, dependent, beneficiary, claimant, or other person;
(2)The Advisee will be entitled to preserve the attorney-client privilege
and any other privilege accorded to communications with the
Advisor, and all other rights to maintain confidentiality, to the full
extent permitted by law; and
(3)No employee, participant, dependent, beneficiary, claimant or other
person will be permitted to review any communication between the
Advisee and any of its or his Advisors with respect to whom a
privilege applies, unless mandated by a court order.
(c)The decision or action of the Benefits Administrative Committee in respect
of any question arising out of or in connection with the administration,
interpretation and application of this Plan and the rules and regulations
hereunder shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all persons
having any interest in the Plan or making any claim hereunder.
(d)The provisions of this Section XI(d) shall apply to any claim for a benefit
under the Plan, regardless of the basis asserted for the claim and
regardless of when the act or omission upon which the claim is based
occurred.  Any such claim shall be addressed through the claims and
appeals process described in the handbook summary for this Plan, and no
such claim may be filed in court, arbitration, or similar proceeding before
the claimant has exhausted that process.  Such process is intended to
comply with Section 503 of ERISA and shall be administered and
interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent.
The claims administrator shall be the Benefits Administrative Committee or
its designee or delegate.
(e)Limitations Period.
(1)Any claim (A) for benefits; (B) to enforce rights under the Plan; or
(C) otherwise seeking a remedy or judgment of any kind against the
Plan, the Benefits Administrative Committee, the Company, or an
Affiliate must be filed within the limitations period prescribed by this
Section XI(e) (and subsequent to exhaustion as described in
Section XI(d)).
24
(2)The limitations period shall begin on the following date:
(A)For a claim for benefits, the earliest of:  (i) the date the first
benefit payment was actually made or allegedly due, or
(ii) the date the Plan, the Benefits Administrative Committee,
the Company, or an Affiliate first repudiated the alleged
obligation to provide such benefits, regardless of whether
such repudiation occurred during administrative review
pursuant to Section XI(d).  A repudiation described in clause
(ii) may be made in the form of a direct communication to the
employee or a more general oral or written communication
related to benefits payable under the Plan (for example, a
summary of the Plan or an amendment to the Plan);
(B)For a claim to enforce an alleged right under the Plan (other
than a right to benefits), the date the Plan first denied the
request made on behalf of the employee to exercise such
right, regardless of whether such denial occurred during
administrative review pursuant to Section XI(d); or
(C)For any claim otherwise seeking a remedy or judgment of
any kind against the Plan, the Benefits Administrative
Committee, the Company, or an Affiliate, the earliest date on
which the employee knew or should have known of the
material facts on which such claim or action is based,
regardless of whether the employee was aware of the legal
theory underlying the claim.
(3)The limitations period shall end on the first anniversary of the
beginning date described in Section XI(e)(2); provided, however,
that if a request for administrative review pursuant to Section XI(d)
is pending at such time, the limitations period shall be extended to
end on the date that is 60 days after the final denial of such claim
on administrative review.
(4)The limitations period described in this Section XI(e) replaces and
supersedes any limitations period that otherwise might be deemed
applicable under state or federal law in the absence of this
Section XI(e).  A claim filed after the expiration of the limitations
period shall be deemed time-barred, except that the Benefits
Administrative Committee shall have discretion to extend the
limitations period upon a showing of exceptional circumstances
that, in the opinion of the Benefits Administrative Committee,
provide good cause for an extension.  The exercise of this
discretion is committed solely to the Benefits Administrative
Committee and is not subject to review.
(5)In the event of any claim brought by or on behalf of two or more
employees, the requirements of this Section Xl(e) shall apply
separately with respect to each employee.
Section XII.Termination, Suspension or Amendment
25
The Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, terminate, suspend or amend this Plan at any
time or from time to time, in whole or in part through action taken by the Chief Executive
Officer, Chief Financial Officer, or Chief People Officer of GE Vernova Inc., acting
individually or collectively.  However, no such termination, suspension or amendment
shall adversely affect (a) the benefits of any Employee who retired under the Plan prior
to the date of such termination, suspension or amendment or (b) the right of any then
current Employee to receive upon retirement, or of his or her Surviving Spouse or
beneficiary to receive upon such Employee’s death, the amount as a Supplementary
Pension or death benefit, as the case may be, to which such person would have been
entitled under this Plan computed to the date of such termination, suspension or
amendment, taking into account the Employee’s Pension Benefit Service and Average
Annual Compensation calculated as of the date of such termination, suspension or
amendment.  Any amendment or termination shall comply with the restrictions of
Section 409A of the Code to the extent applicable.  No amendment or termination of the
Plan may accelerate a scheduled payment of Non-Grandfathered Plan Benefits, nor
may any amendment or termination permit a subsequent deferral of Non-Grandfathered
Plan Benefits.  Subject to the other requirements of this Section XII, if the Sponsor or
the Benefits Administrative Committee determines that any provision of the Plan is or
might be inconsistent with the restrictions imposed by Section 409A of the Code, such
provision shall be deemed to be amended to the extent that the Sponsor or the Benefits
Administrative Committee determines is necessary to bring it into compliance with
Section 409A of the Code.  Any such deemed amendment shall be effective as of the
earliest date such amendment is necessary under Section 409A of the Code.
Section XIII.Adjustments in Supplementary Pension Following Retirement
(a)Effective January 1, 1975, the amount of Supplementary Pension then
payable to any Employee who retired before January 1, 1975 shall be
reduced by the amount of any increase which becomes effective January
1, 1975 in the Pension payable under the GE Energy Pension Plan to
such Employee.
(b)If the Pension payable under the GE Energy Pension Plan to any
Employee is increased following his retirement which increase becomes
effective after January 1, 1975, the amount of the Supplementary Pension
thereafter payable to such Employee under this Supplementary Pension

Section XIV.General Conditions
(a)No interest of an Employee, retired employee (whether retired before or
after July 1, 1973), Surviving Spouse or beneficiary under this Plan and no
benefit payable hereunder shall be assigned as security for a loan, and
any such purported assignment shall be null, void and of no effect, nor
30
shall any such interest or any such benefit be subject in any manner,
either voluntarily or involuntarily, to anticipation, sale, transfer, assignment
or encumbrance by or through an Employee, retired employee, Surviving
Spouse or beneficiary.  If any attempt is made to alienate, pledge or
charge any such interest or any such benefit for any debt, liabilities in tort
or contract, or otherwise, of any Employee, retired employee, Surviving
Spouse, or beneficiary, contrary to the prohibitions of the preceding
sentence, then the Benefits Administrative Committee in its discretion may
suspend or forfeit the interests of such person and during the period of
such suspension, or in case of forfeiture, the Benefits Administrative
Committee shall hold such interest for the benefit of, or shall make the
benefit payments to which such person would otherwise be entitled (in the
same time and form) to the designated beneficiary or to some member of
such Employee’s, retired employee’s, Surviving Spouse’s or beneficiary’s
family to be selected in the discretion of the Benefits Administrative
Committee.  Similarly, in cases of misconduct, incapacity or disability, the
Benefits Administrative Committee, in its sole discretion, may make
payments (in the same time and form) to some member of the family of
any of the foregoing to be selected by it or to whomsoever it may
determine is best fitted to receive or administer such payments.
(b)In connection with an allowance granted under the GE Energy Retirement
for the Good of the Company Program, and in accordance with the terms
of that program, the Sponsor, in its discretion, may decide to provide an
Employee with a non-forfeitable interest in all or a portion of his
Supplementary Pension under this Plan.
(c)No Employee and no other person shall have any legal or equitable rights
or interest in this Plan that are not expressly granted in this Plan. 
Participation in this Plan does not give any person any right to be retained
in the Service of his employer.  The right and power of the Company to
dismiss or discharge any Employee is expressly reserved.
(d)Except to the extent that the same are governed by the federal law
(including Section 409A of the Code), the law of the State of New York
shall govern the construction and administration of this Plan.
(e)The rights under this Plan of an Employee who leaves the Service of the
Company at any time and the rights of anyone entitled to receive any
payments under the Plan by reason of the death of such Employee, shall
be governed by the provisions of the Plan in effect on the date such
Employee leaves the Service of the Company, except as otherwise
specifically provided in this Plan; provided, however, that with respect to
Non-Grandfathered Plan Benefits:
(1)Any Employee who left the Service of the Company on or after
January 1, 2005 and prior to January 1, 2009 and commenced
receipt of such benefits before January 1, 2009 shall not be eligible
to select the revocation feature provided in Section IX.8 of the GE
Energy Pension Plan.
(2)Any Employee who left the Service of the Company on or after
January 1, 2005 and prior to January 1, 2009 and did not
commence receipt of such benefits before January 1, 2009 (or
31
anyone entitled to receive any payments under the Plan by reason
of the death of such Employee who did not commence receipt of
such payments before January 1, 2009) shall have the time and
form of payment of such benefits determined under the terms
contained herein.
(f)Benefits provided under this Plan are unfunded and unsecured obligations
of the Company payable from its general assets.  Nothing contained in this
Plan shall require the Company to segregate any monies from its general
funds, to create any trust or other funding vehicle, to make any special
deposits, or to purchase any policies of insurance with respect to such
obligations.  If the Company elects to take any such action, such assets,
investments and the proceeds therefrom shall at all times remain the sole
property of the Company and subject to its creditors.  No other individual
shall have any economic interest or similar rights under the Plan or any
ownership rights in such assets, investments or proceeds, whether by
reason of being a named insured or otherwise.
This Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code with respect to amounts
accrued after December 31, 2004 and amounts that were accrued but forfeitable on that
date.  In addition, if an Employee accrues benefits hereunder on or after January 1,
2005, the Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code
with respect to all of such Employee’s benefits hereunder; provided, however, that in the
case of Grandfathered Specified Employees, the requirements of Section 409A of the
Code shall only apply for amounts accrued in excess of Grandfathered Plan Benefits.
The Plan shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent;
provided, however, that nothing in this Plan shall be interpreted or construed to transfer
any liability for any tax (including a tax or penalty due as a result of a failure to comply
with Section 409A of the Code) from any Employee or an Employee’s spouse,
beneficiary, or estate to any other individual or entity.  Any payment under the Plan that
is subject to Section 409A of the Code and that is contingent on a termination of
employment is contingent on a Separation from Service.

As described in the Introduction (and subject to the rules thereof), this Part II of the Plan
is closed effective January 1, 2021, and an Employee shall be eligible to participate
under this Part II only if the Employee was eligible for and participating under Part I or
Part II of the Plan on December 31, 2020 (and shall actually receive a benefit under this

Employee will be considered to be eligible for and participating under Part I of the Plan
and will be eligible to participate under this Part II of the Plan on and after January 1,
2021, only if, on December 31, 2020, the Employee:  (A) was assigned to the GE
executive or higher career band; (B) was employed by the Company; and (C) was
enrolled in the GE Energy Pension Plan (i.e., had not waived or suspended participation
in the GE Energy Pension Plan).  An Employee who was previously eligible for Part II of
the Plan will not accrue future Benefit Service under Part II of the Plan if, on December
31, 2020, the Employee:  (A) was not assigned to the GE executive or higher career
band or (B) was not employed by the Company.
Section XV.Eligibility for Executive Retirement Installment Benefits
(a)An Employee shall be eligible to participate in this Plan under this Part II if
he is:
(1)an Excluded Employee or Ineligible Employee under the GE Energy
Pension Plan who was assigned to the GE executive or higher
career band before January 1, 2021, and has been continuously so
assigned since such date;
(2)an Employee who has been continuously assigned to the Sponsor’s
executive or higher career band since January 1, 2021, and whose
first day of work for the Company while so assigned was on or after
January 1, 2011, and before January 1, 2021;
(3)an Employee who, before January 1, 2021, was assigned to the GE
executive or higher career band and who has been continuously so
assigned since such date and is employed by (i) an Affiliate that
elected to participate in the GE Vernova Retirement Savings Plan
prior to January 1, 2011 as part of a benefits program which
provided neither employer-subsidized post-retirement medical
coverage under the GE Vernova Life Disability and Medical Plan
nor participation in the GE Energy Pension Plan for all of its
employees, or the segment of its employees in which such
Employee is included; or (ii) an Affiliate that elects to participate in
the GE Vernova Retirement Savings Plan on or after January 1,
2011 as part of a benefits program which provides neither
participation in the GE Energy Pension Plan nor designation of
Retirement Contribution Participant status under the GE Vernova
Retirement Savings Plan for all of its employees, or the segment of
its employees in which such Employee is included, but in all cases,
only to the extent such Affiliate elects to participate in this Part II,
33
and such election is accepted by the Benefits Administrative
Committee; or
(4)an Employee who has been continuously assigned to the Sponsor’s
executive or higher career band since January 1, 2021, and who
was eligible for and participating under Part I of the Plan on
December 31, 2020.
(b)Notwithstanding (a), in the event liabilities and assets under the GE
Energy Pension Plan attributable to an Employee have been transferred to
a plan maintained by Martin Marietta Corporation (including successors) or
to any other employer which is not an Affiliate, service performed by the
Employee prior to such transfer shall be disregarded in determining
(1) whether such Employee participated in this Plan on or before
December 31, 2010 and (2) whether his first day of work for the Company
while assigned to the Sponsor’s executive or higher career band is on or
after January 1, 2011.  Consistent with the foregoing, if after disregarding
such service, an Employee is deemed not to have participated in the Plan
on or before December 31, 2010, and his first day of work for the
Company while assigned to the Sponsor’s executive or higher career band
is deemed to be on or after January 1, 2011, this Part II (and not Part I)
shall apply to such Employee.
(c)Further notwithstanding (a), any Executive Retirement Installment Benefit
shall be contingent upon the Employee signing, not revoking, and
complying with the terms of a Release.  Such Release must be in a form
acceptable to the Sponsor, executed by the deadline established by the
Sponsor (which shall be no later than 45 days following the date of the
Employee’s Termination Date), and not revoked.
(d)An Employee who was eligible to participate under this Part II of the Plan
and who, before becoming entitled to a benefit under this Part II of the
Plan, left the Service of the Company and all Affiliates shall not, during any
period of reemployment with the Company that commences on or after
January 1, 2021, again become eligible for an Executive Retirement
Installment Benefit under this Part II of the Plan or accrue a new benefit
under the Plan.
(e)An Employee who was eligible to participate in this Plan on January 1,
2021, but who has ceased to be eligible for the Plan as described in
(a) solely as a result of no longer being assigned to the Sponsor’s
executive or higher career band on or after January 1, 2021, shall not earn
any additional benefits under the Plan for any periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2021, during which such Employee is again assigned to
the Sponsor’s executive or higher career band.  Such an Employee is,
however, eligible to receive the Executive Retirement Installment Benefit
the Employee has accrued if the Employee meets the requirements of
Section XVI, XVII, XVIII, or XX of the Plan, even if the Employee is not
assigned to the Sponsor’s executive or higher career band as of the date
he meets the applicable requirements of such Section.
Section XVI.Executive Retirement Installment Benefits

Benefit Service as of the date of termination of Service with the Company.
(d)An Executive Retirement Installment Benefit shall not be payable with

continuing operation of the Company or any Affiliate (including a
continuing GE Capital operation).  This paragraph (c) also shall not apply
unless the Employee executes a release of liability and claims on such
terms and in such manner as the Company may require in its absolute
discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Benefits Administrative
37
Committee may in its absolute discretion prescribe such additional
conditions and other rules as it deems necessary or advisable in applying
this paragraph (c), including the designation of groups of employees who
shall and shall not be eligible for this Special Benefit Protection treatment.
This paragraph (c) is intended to serve as a special retention arrangement
in connection with General Electric Company’s announcement to dispose
of a predominant share of the businesses of General Electric Capital
Corporation and its subsidiaries.  This paragraph (c) shall not apply to any
employee who terminates service prior to such an announcement or is on
protected service at the time of such announcement, except as otherwise
provided by the Benefits Administrative Committee in its absolute
discretion.
(d)Employees of the General Electric Company (“GE”) corporate division who
are laid off as a result of the November 9, 2021 announcement to
restructure into three industry leading public companies focused on
aviation, healthcare and energy (the “Transition”) will be eligible for
Special Benefit Protection treatment described in this Section XVIII by
meeting the conditions for such treatment set forth in this Section XVIII,
except that the service eligibility requirement will be met if they have
completed at least 10 years (instead of 25 years) of Eligibility Service as of
their Separation from Service, or would have completed at least 10 years
of Eligibility Service by December 31, 2023.  This paragraph (d) shall not
apply to an Employee who (i) is laid off from any other business or division
of GE Aerospace, (ii) is laid off from the corporate division of GE
Aerospace for any other reason, (iii) is assigned to (or offered employment
with) any continuing operation of the Company or any Affiliate or their
successor entities or (iv) as of March 1, 2022, is an executive officer and
Senior Vice President or above of GE Aerospace.  This paragraph (d) also
shall not apply unless the Employee executes a Release on such terms
and in such manner as the Company may require in its absolute discretion
and in accordance with Section XV(c).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Benefits Administrative Committee may in its absolute discretion prescribe
such additional conditions and other rules as it deems necessary or
advisable in applying this paragraph (d), including the designation of
groups of employees who shall and shall not be eligible for this Special
Benefit Protection treatment.
Section XIX.Time and Form of Payment
(a)Executive Retirement Installment Benefits shall be paid in 10 annual
installments, each of which shall equal the amount calculated under
Section XVI, XVII or XVIII, as applicable, divided by 10.
(b)The first annual installment of an Executive Retirement Installment Benefit
described in subsection (a) shall be paid as of the first day of the month
following the later of (1) three completed calendar months after Separation
from Service (or six completed calendar months after Separation from
Service in the case of a Specified Employee), or (2) the Employee’s 60th
birthday.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of payments made
under Section XVII (Disability Retirement), the first annual installment of
38
an Executive Retirement Installment benefit shall be paid as of the first day
of the month following six completed calendar months after Separation
from Service.  The remaining nine annual installments shall be paid as of
the anniversary of the date set forth above.
(c)No interest shall be earned or paid with respect to any Executive
Retirement Installment Benefits, including any payments upon death under
Section XX.
(d)The Company shall be entitled to withhold all applicable withholding taxes,
including, but not limited to, federal income taxes, Federal Insurance
Contributions Act (“FICA”) taxes, and state income taxes, from an
Employee’s Executive Retirement Installment Benefit.  The present value
of an Employee’s Executive Retirement Installment Benefit is required by
law to be subject to FICA taxation (Social Security tax, Medicare tax, and if
applicable, additional Medicare tax) on the date on which the present
value of the Employee’s Executive Retirement Installment Benefit
becomes reasonably ascertainable.  As a condition of participation in the
Plan, the Employee shall be required to make arrangements to satisfy the
required FICA tax withholding, including being required to remit to the
Company the amount necessary to satisfy his or her withholding
requirements.  The Company shall have the power and the right to
withhold the amount necessary to satisfy an Employee’s FICA tax
obligation from the amount payable under the Plan or to establish other
means to satisfy such obligation, including, to the extent permitted by law,
the Company’s payment of any required tax on the Employee’s behalf
subject to repayment by the Employee, as specified under a policy
adopted by the Benefits Administrative Committee.
(e)Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if an Employee’s
employment is terminated for Cause or if the Benefits Administrative
Committee determines in its sole discretion that an Employee has
engaged in conduct that (i) constitutes a breach of the Release, (ii) results
in (or has the potential to cause) material harm financially, reputationally,
or otherwise to the Company or an Affiliate or (iii) occurred prior to the
Employee’s Separation from Service and would give rise to a termination
for Cause (regardless of whether such conduct is discovered before,
during or after the Employee’s Separation From Service), the Employee
shall forfeit the Employee’s right to any unpaid Executive Retirement
Installment Benefit under this Plan and may be required to repay any
amounts previously paid under the Plan to the extent recovery is permitted
by law.
The remedy under this subsection (e) is not exclusive and shall not limit
any right of the Company or any Affiliate under applicable law, including
(but not limited to) a remedy under (i) Section 10D of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) any applicable rules or regulations
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any national
securities exchange or national securities association on which shares of
the Company may be traded, and/or (iii) any company policy adopted with
respect to compensation recoupment.
39
Section XX.Payments Upon Death
(a)If death occurs after installments of an Executive Retirement Installment
Benefit have commenced under Section XIX(b), but before all 10 annual
installments have been paid, the remaining installments shall continue to
be paid to the Employee’s designated beneficiary as of the yearly
anniversary specified in Section XIX(b).
(b)If an eligible Employee who has been continuously in the Service of the
Company or an Affiliate since January 1, 2021 (with respect to an
Employee who dies after December 31, 2020), dies while in Service with
the Company and before installments of an Executive Retirement
Installment benefit have commenced under Section XIX(b), a death benefit
shall be paid to his designated beneficiary under this Section XX(b), and
not any other provision of this Part, equal to:
(1)if death occurs on or after the Employees 65th birthday, the amount
calculated under section XVI(a);
(2)if death occurs after the Employee’s 60th birthday but before his 65th
birthday, the amount calculated under Section XVI(a), reduced by
5/12% for each month from the day payments commence (as
described below) to what would have been the Employee’s Normal
Commencement Date; or
(3)if death occurs on or before the Employee’s 60th birthday, 75% of
the amount calculated under Section XVI(a).
Death benefits under this Section XX(b) shall take into account only
Benefit Service and Compensation as of death (or the Termination Date, if
earlier).  Such death benefits shall be paid in 10 equal annual installments
(the amount determined under paragraph (1), (2) or (3) as applicable,
divided by 10).  The first annual installment shall be paid as of the first day
of the month following three completed calendar months after death.  The
remaining nine annual installments shall be paid as of the anniversary of
the date in the preceding sentence.
(c)If a former eligible Employee who is not in Service with the Company dies
after satisfying all requirements hereunder to become entitled to receive
an Executive Retirement Installment Benefit, but before payment of such
benefit begins under Section XIX(b), a death benefit shall be paid to his
designated beneficiary at the same time, in the same form (10 annual
installments) and in the same amount as if the former Employee had
survived and his benefit had commenced as scheduled.
(d)The designated beneficiary is the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated
by the Employee on a beneficiary designation form properly filed by the
Employee in accordance with established administrative procedures, or if
there is no such designated beneficiary, the Employee’s estate. 
Employees may name and change beneficiaries without the consent of
any person.
40
Section XXI.Impact of Reemployment and Other Status Changes
(a)An Executive Retirement Installment Benefit that has commenced shall
not stop, and the form of payment shall not be altered, upon
reemployment.
(b)If an Employee is reemployed after becoming entitled to an Executive
Retirement Installment Benefit but before payment of such benefit has
begun, payment shall commence and be made as if the Employee had not
been reemployed.
(c)An Employee who is reemployed by the Company on or after January 1,
2021, after becoming entitled to or after commencing an Executive
Retirement Installment Benefit shall not be eligible for any benefits under
the Plan with respect to the Employee’s period of reemployment, and the
amount of the Executive Retirement Installment Benefit to which such
Employee was entitled prior to reemployment shall not change as a result
of the Employee’s reemployment.
(d)In the case of reemployment by the Company before January 1, 2021, any
post-reemployment benefit:
(1)shall be subject to the principles of this Part II as if it were a
separate benefit; but
(2)shall be calculated by subtracting (i) any benefit payable for the
period prior to such reemployment from (ii) any benefit determined
as of the subsequent Termination Date and payable as of the
subsequent Separation from Service, taking into account for
purposes of this clause (ii) all Benefit Service and Compensation
(including pre-reemployment Benefit Service and Compensation) as
of the subsequent Termination Date.
Consistent with the foregoing, if a post-reemployment benefit is payable
consistent with the principles of this Part II, such benefit shall be paid at
the time and in the form prescribed by Section XIX (Time and Form of
Payment), and the provisions of Section XX (Payments Upon Death) shall
apply separately to the post-reemployment benefit, in both cases
disregarding how any pre-reemployment benefit is being or has been paid.
(e)If an Employee was eligible for an Executive Retirement Installment
Benefit, leaves the Service of the Company and all Affiliates before
becoming entitled to such benefit, and is rehired by the Company on or
after January 1, 2021, such Employee shall not become entitled to the
Executive Retirement Installment Benefit for which the Employee was
previously eligible, and such Employee’s prior Benefit Service, Annual
Average Compensation, and Eligibility Service shall be forfeited.  Such
Employee also shall not be eligible for any post-reemployment benefit
under the Plan.
(f)If an Employee was eligible for an Executive Retirement Installment
Benefit, has a Termination Date before becoming entitled to such benefit,
41
and remains continuously in the Service of the Company or an Affiliate
following such Termination Date until the Employee is reemployed by the
Company (including reemployment following a transfer to the Company
from an Affiliate) on or after January 1, 2021:
(1)such Employee shall have the Eligibility Service, Benefit Service,
and Annual Average Compensation that were credited to the
Employee as of the Employee’s Termination Date reinstated as of
the Employee’s first day of reemployment with the Company;
(2)such Employee shall be credited with Eligibility Service for service
with an Affiliate to the extent such service is RSP Service as
defined in the GE Vernova Retirement Savings Plan, regardless of
whether the Employee is described in subsection (a) of the
definition of “Eligibility Service” in Section XXII; and
(3)the Executive Retirement Installment Benefit to which such
Employee may become entitled during a period of reemployment
with the Company shall be calculated taking into account only the
Employee’s Benefit Service and Compensation as of the
Employee’s most recent Termination Date preceding the
Employee’s first period of reemployment with the Company that
begins on or after January 1, 2021.
(g)Principles similar to those in subsections (a) through (f) shall apply if an
Employee is reemployed more than once.
(h)Prior to January 1, 2021, if an Employee ceased to be eligible to continue
accruing Benefit Service solely because he was no longer assigned to the
GE executive or higher career band, his Executive Retirement Installment
Benefit was calculated taking into account his Compensation as an
Employee attributable to periods after he was no longer so assigned, even
though he could earn Benefit Service only during periods while so
assigned.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, the
Executive Retirement Installment Benefit of such an Employee who was
not assigned to the GE executive or higher career band on December 31,
2020, shall be calculated taking into account only his Compensation as an
Employee earned through December 31, 2020, regardless of whether
such Employee is again assigned to the GE executive or higher career
band on or after January 1, 2021.  Further notwithstanding any provision in
this Plan to the contrary, the Executive Retirement Installment Benefit of
an Employee who ceases to be eligible to continue accruing Benefit
Service on or after January 1, 2021, solely because he is no longer
assigned to the Sponsor’s executive or higher career band shall be
calculated taking into account only his Compensation earned as an
Employee prior to such change in career band.  An Employee described in
this Section XXI(h) who is again assigned to the Sponsor’s executive or
higher career band during a period of time beginning on or after January 1,
2021, shall not accrue Benefit Service during such period.
Section XXII.Definitions

(b)the GE Vernova Retirement Savings Plan as either:
(1)a Retirement Contribution Participant; or
(2)otherwise, but only in the case of an Affiliate that has made an
applicable election described in Section XV(a)(3) and then only for
periods after such election is effective;
provided, however, that Benefit Service shall not include (A) service performed before
2011 or service during any period after an Employee terminates Service with the

the Company (including reemployment following a transfer to the Company from an

Sponsor’s executive or higher career band and who is again assigned to the Sponsor’s
executive or higher career band on or after January 1, 2021; or (D) service performed
while participating in Part I of the Plan before January 1, 2021.
In addition, Benefit Service for any period in which an Employee works on a part-time

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Benefit Service shall also include any period of Service
with the Company or an Affiliate as the Benefits Administrative Committee may
otherwise provide by rules and regulations issued with respect to this Plan; and any
period of service with another employer as may be approved from time to time by the
Benefits Administrative Committee but only to the extent that any conditions specified in
such approval have been met.  Any grant of Benefit Service under the preceding

Benefit Service.

Committee, an Employee’s:
43

For Employees described in subsection (a) of this definition, Eligibility Service also

Service.  An Employee who was previously eligible for but did not become entitled to an
Executive Retirement Installment Benefit as of the Employee’s Termination Date, who
leaves the Service of the Company and all Affiliates, and who is reemployed with the
Company or an Affiliate on or after January 1, 2021, shall not have any prior Eligibility

Appendix A
Transfer of GE Energy Benefits and Liabilities from GE Supplementary Pension Plan
Section I.  Allocation of Employees
Effective January 1, 2023 (the “Plan Spin-Off Date”), in anticipation of General Electric
Company’s split into three separate companies comprising General Electric Company’s
aviation, healthcare and energy businesses, respectively, the Energy Benefit Liabilities
(as defined below) were transferred to this Plan (the “Plan Spin-Off”). The Energy
Benefit Liabilities are the benefits and liabilities under the GE Supplementary Pension
Plan for (i) active employees of GE Vernova, and (ii) most former employees of General
Electric Company’s energy business, in each case as determined by General Electric
Company in its sole discretion and identified on a list maintained in the records of
General Electric Company. (For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to individuals who
have accrued GE Pension Plan benefits as of the Plan Spin-Off Date, the Energy
Benefit Liabilities are the benefits and liabilities under the GE Supplementary Pension
Plan for individuals whose benefits under the GE Pension Plan are transferred as of the
Plan Spin-Off Date to the GE Energy Pension Plan.) The participants transferred to this
Plan are the “GE Energy Transferees.” No GE Energy Transferee shall have any claims
against General Electric Company or any of its affiliates (other than the Sponsor while it
is an affiliate of General Electric Company) in respect of benefits under the GE
Supplementary Pension Plan or the Plan.
Benefits and liabilities for certain former employees of General Electric Company’s
energy business will remain in the GE Aerospace Supplementary Pension Plan, as
determined by General Electric Company in its sole discretion and identified on a list
maintained in the records of General Electric Company.
Effective immediately prior to the Plan Spin-Off Date, the GE Energy Transferees
(including, as applicable, their beneficiaries) shall cease to be participants in the GE
Aerospace Supplementary Pension Plan, shall no longer be entitled to any benefit
payments from the GE Aerospace Supplementary Pension Plan, and shall no longer
have any rights whatsoever under the GE Aerospace Supplementary Pension Plan
(even if the GE Energy Transferee is subsequently employed by, or has service with,
General Electric Company, operating as GE Aerospace effective April 2, 2024, or the
GE Aerospace Affiliates, unless the GE Energy Transferee’s benefit is transferred back
to the GE Aerospace Supplementary Pension Plan in accordance with this Appendix A).
Effective on the Plan Spin-Off Date, this Plan assumes the Energy Benefit Liabilities as
a continuation of the GE Aerospace Supplementary Pension Plan and each GE Energy
Transferee is a participant in this Plan. Each GE Energy Transferee’s status under this
Plan on the Plan Spin-Off Date shall be the same as the GE Energy Transferee’s status
under the GE Aerospace Supplementary Pension Plan immediately prior to the Plan
Spin-Off Date.  For the avoidance of doubt, (i) each GE Energy Transferee’s service
with General Electric Company and the GE Affiliates credited under the GE Aerospace
Supplementary Pension Plan immediately prior to the Plan Spin-Off Date shall be
47
credited under this Plan, and (ii) no GE Energy Transferee shall be treated as incurring
a termination of employment, separation from service, vesting, retirement or similar
event for purposes of determining the right to a distribution, benefits or any other
purpose under this Plan solely as a result of the Plan Spin-Off or the corporate spin-offs
of General Electric Company’s healthcare and energy businesses.
Section II.  Transfer of Benefits and Liabilities
The Plan Spin-Off shall be effected in accordance with the applicable requirements of
this instrument.  The accrued benefit of each GE Energy Transferee under the GE
Supplementary Pension Plan immediately before the Plan Spin-Off shall become his
accrued benefit under this Plan immediately after the Plan Spin-Off. 
Following the Plan Spin-Off, the Sponsor and its Affiliates shall have exclusive
responsibility for paying benefits under this Plan and for all payment obligations
hereunder.
Section III. Transfers to this Plan after the Plan Spin-Off Date
Following the Plan Spin-Off Date, if an individual with an accrued benefit under the GE
Aerospace Supplementary Pension Plan or the GE HealthCare Supplementary Pension
Plan (1) transfers employment directly to a GE Affiliate that is part of GE Vernova or (2)
is hired by a GE Affiliate that is part of GE Vernova, the benefits and liabilities for such
individual shall be transferred from the GE Supplementary Pension Plan or the GE
HealthCare Supplementary Pension Plan, as applicable, to this Plan (each such transfer
to this Plan, a “Subsequent Plan Spin-Off”).  Such Subsequent Plan Spin-Off shall be
effective: (i) if the individual does not have a benefit under the GE Aerospace Pension
Plan or the GE HealthCare Pension Plan, upon the date of such individual’s transfer of
employment or hire, as applicable, or (ii) if the individual has a benefit under the GE
Aerospace Pension Plan or the GE HealthCare Pension Plan, the date of the
corresponding transfer of such individual’s benefit under such pension plan to the GE
Energy Pension Plan (the “Subsequent Spin-Off Date”). (For the avoidance of doubt, no
Subsequent Plan Spin-Off shall occur in connection with a transfer of employment if
such individual’s former employer is not an Affiliate when the individual becomes
employed by his new employer.)
Each Subsequent Plan Spin-Off shall be completed in a manner consistent with
Sections I and II of this Appendix A and the individual subject to the Subsequent Plan
Spin-Off shall be treated as a “GE Energy Transferee;” provided, however, that the “Plan
Spin-Off Date” with respect to such GE Energy Transferee shall be the Subsequent
Spin-Off Date.
Immediately after the Subsequent Plan Spin-Off, each GE Energy Transferee included
in the Subsequent Plan Spin-Off shall cease to be a participant in the GE Aerospace
Supplementary Pension Plan or the GE HealthCare Supplementary Pension Plan, as
applicable, and shall become a participant in the Plan.  Regardless of whether the
48
Subsequent Spin-Off Date is the same as the date of the change in employment, the
GE Energy Transferee’s status under the Plan as of the Subsequent Spin-Off Date shall
be the same as if the Subsequent Plan Spin-Off had occurred at the time of the change
in employment (preserving the GE Energy Transferee’s status under the GE Aerospace
Supplementary Pension Plan or the GE HealthCare Supplementary Pension Plan (as
applicable) immediately prior to such change in employment, unless the GE HealthCare
Transferee’s new position involves a change in status under the Plan), with service
crediting and benefit accrual (as applicable) for periods after the change in employment
being determined in accordance with the Plan’s rules for the GE Energy Transferee’s
new position.
Section IV. Transfers from this Plan after the Plan Spin-Off Date
Following the Plan Spin-Off Date, if an individual with an accrued benefit under this Plan
(1) transfers employment directly to an Affiliate that is part of GE Aerospace or GE
HealthCare or (2) is hired by an Affiliate that is part of GE Aerospace or GE HealthCare,
the benefits and liabilities for such individual (each such individual, a “Transferred
Participant”) shall be transferred from this Plan to the GE Aerospace Supplementary
Pension Plan or the GE HealthCare Supplementary Pension Plan, as applicable (each
such transfer from the Plan, a  “Reverse Plan Spin-Off”). Such Reverse Plan Spin-Off
shall be effective: (i) if the Transferred Participant does not have a benefit under the GE
Energy Pension Plan, upon the date of the Transferred Participant’s transfer of
employment or hire, as applicable, or (ii) if the Transferred Participant has a benefit
under the GE Energy Pension Plan, the date of the corresponding transfer of such
Transferred Participant’s benefit under the GE Energy Pension Plan (the “Transfer
Date”). (For the avoidance of doubt, no Reverse Plan Spin-Off shall occur in connection
with a transfer of employment if such individual’s former employer is not an Affiliate
when the individual becomes employed by his new employer.)
If the Reverse Plan Spin-Off occurs after the Transferred Participant’s transfer of
employment or hire, such Transferred Participant shall continue to accrue service and
benefits (if applicable) for the period until the Reverse Plan Spin-Off (unless the
Transferred Participant’s new position involves a change in status under the terms of the
GE Aerospace Supplementary Pension Plan or GE HealthCare Supplementary Pension
Plan, as applicable), such that the Transferred Participant’s benefit under the GE
Aerospace Supplementary Pension Plan or GE HealthCare Supplementary Pension
Plan (as applicable) after the Reverse Plan Spin-Off shall be the same as if the Reverse
Plan Spin-Off had occurred at the time of the applicable transfer of employment or hire.
Each Reverse Plan Spin-Off shall be effected in accordance with the applicable
requirements of this instrument.  The accrued benefit of the Transferred Participant
under this Plan immediately before the Reverse Plan Spin-Off shall become his accrued
benefit under the GE Aerospace Supplementary Pension Plan or the GE HealthCare
Supplementary Pension Plan, as applicable, immediately after the Reverse Plan Spin-
Off.
