· |
The lockup period, which prevented GE from disposing of any shares of Common Stock of BHGE until July 3, 2019, expires on November 12, 2018.
|
· |
“Trigger Date” means the later of (i) July 3, 2019 and (ii) the first date on which the Reporting Persons cease to beneficially own more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the outstanding Common Stock of BHGE.
|
· |
GE’s right to designate a majority of directors for nomination to the BHGE Board will continue until the Trigger Date. Following the Trigger Date, for so long as it and its affiliates beneficially own at least 20% of the voting power of BHGE’s outstanding Common Stock, GE will have the right to nominate one director for election to the BHGE Board and will no longer have any right to representation on any Committee of the BHGE Board. If GE and its affiliates do not own at least 20% of the voting power of BHGE’s outstanding Common Stock (the “20% Trigger Date”), GE will not have the right to designate a director for nomination to the BHGE Board.
|
· |
In the event of a vacancy on the BHGE Board with respect to any director who was not designated by GE, the Governance & Nominating Committee will, until the 20% Trigger Date, fill such vacancy or designate a person for nomination reasonably acceptable to GE.
|
· |
When GE’s right to nominate directors is reduced upon the Trigger Date or the 20% Trigger Date, any director that has been designated by GE is required to deliver his or her resignation from the BHGE Board for consideration by the Conflicts Committee. However, where GE’s right to nominate directors is reduced upon the Trigger Date (but where that date is not also the 20% Trigger Date), one of GE’s five designees, as determined by GE, shall not be required to tender his or her resignation.
