Other Events.

As previously reported, on July 28, 2025, Baker Hughes Company, a Delaware corporation (“Baker Hughes”), Tango Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Baker Hughes (“Merger Sub”), and Chart Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Chart”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Baker Hughes will acquire Chart through a merger of Merger Sub with and into Chart (the “Merger”), with Chart surviving the Merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Baker Hughes.

Following the previously reported submission of a Form CO with the European Commission (the “EC”) on May 21, 2026, Baker Hughes and Chart confirm that they are in discussions with the EC regarding possible commitments in order to procure clearance of the Merger by the EC in its initial Phase I review period. The proposed commitments, if adopted, are not expected to have a material impact upon the commercial rationale for, or the benefits of, the Merger.

Based on the prescribed timelines for the Phase I review, including an extension of the Phase I review period as a result of the commitments under discussion, and subject to receipt of the EC’s approval and customary closing conditions, Baker Hughes continues to expect the Merger to close in July 2026.

Forward Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (each a “forward-looking statement”). All statements, other than historical facts, including statements regarding the presentation of Baker Hughes’s operations in future reports and any assumptions underlying any of the foregoing, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements concern future circumstances and results and other statements that are not historical facts and are sometimes identified by the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “potential,” “intend,” “expect,” “would,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “overestimate,” “underestimate,” “believe,” “could,” “project,” “predict,” “continue,” “target,” “goal” or other similar words or expressions. Forward-looking statements are based upon current plans, estimates and expectations that are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by such forward-looking statements. The inclusion of such statements should not be regarded as a representation that such plans, estimates or expectations will be achieved. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to: Baker Hughes’s ability to consummate the proposed transaction with Chart; the conditions to the completion of the proposed transactions; that the regulatory approvals required for the proposed transactions may not be obtained on the terms expected or on the anticipated schedule or at all; Baker Hughes’s ability to finance the proposed transaction with Chart; Baker Hughes’s indebtedness, including the indebtedness Baker Hughes has incurred in connection with the proposed transaction with Chart and the need to generate sufficient cash flows to service and repay such debt; Baker Hughes’s ability to meet expectations regarding the timing, completion and accounting and tax treatments of the transactions contemplated by the proposed transaction with Chart; the possibility that Baker Hughes may be unable to achieve expected synergies and operating efficiencies within the expected time-frames or at all and to successfully integrate Chart’s operations with those of Baker Hughes; that such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; that operating costs, customer loss and business disruption (including, without limitation, difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees, customers or suppliers) may be greater than expected following the proposed transaction; the retention of certain key employees of Chart may be difficult; that Baker Hughes and Chart are subject to intense competition and increased competition is expected in the future; and general economic conditions that are less favorable than expected. Other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such plans, estimates or expectations include, among others, the risk factors identified in the “Risk Factors” section of Part 1 of Item 1A of Baker Hughes’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on February 5, 2026, and those set forth from time-to-time in other filings by Baker Hughes with the SEC. These documents are available through Baker Hughes’ website or through the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering and Analysis Retrieval (EDGAR) system at http://www.sec.gov.

Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Baker Hughes does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or developments, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements.
