Material Event (Form 8-K)

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

Chart and Baker Hughes have concluded their pre-notification process with the European Commission (the "EC"), and on May 21, 2026, Baker Hughes filed a Form CO with the EC, which initiates the EC's Phase I review period. Based on the prescribed timelines for the Phase I review, and subject to receipt of the EC's approval and other regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, Chart expects the Merger to close in July 2026.
