GE Vernova Recommends Shareholders Reject “Mini-Tender” Offer by TRC Capital Investment Corporation

GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) today announced that it received notice of an unsolicited “mini-tender” offer by TRC Capital Investment Corporation (TRC Capital) to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of GE Vernova common stock, which represents approximately 0.4% of the shares outstanding, at a price of $155.00 per share in cash. TRC Capital’s offer price is 7.39% less than the $167.36 closing price per share of GE Vernova’s common stock on May 7, 2024, the last trading day before the mini-tender offer appears to have commenced.

GE Vernova does not endorse TRC Capital’s unsolicited mini-tender offer and recommends that GE Vernova shareholders not tender their shares in the offer because the offer is at a price below the current market price for GE Vernova’s shares. TRC Capital has included in the terms of its offer a condition that the closing price of GE Vernova’s shares must not decrease by more than 5%. As a result, unless TRC Capital decides to waive this condition, GE Vernova shareholders who tender their shares in the offer would receive a below-market price for GE Vernova’s shares through the tender offer. The offer is also subject to a number of other conditions.

GE Vernova is not affiliated or associated in any way with TRC Capital, its mini-tender offer or the offer documentation. TRC Capital has made many similar mini-tender offers for shares of other companies. Mini-tender offers seek to acquire not more than 5% of a company’s outstanding shares, thereby avoiding many disclosure and procedural requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules that apply to offers for more than 5% of a company's outstanding shares.

The SEC has cautioned investors about mini-tender offers, stating that mini-tender offers “have been increasingly used to catch investors off guard,” and that investors “may end up selling their securities at below-market prices.” The SEC's guidance to investors on mini-tender offers is available at https://www.sec.gov/reportspubs/investor-publications/investorpubsminitendhtm.html.

Shareholders should obtain current market quotations for their shares, consult with their broker or financial advisor, and exercise caution with respect to TRC Capital’s mini-tender offer. GE Vernova recommends that shareholders who have not responded to TRC Capital’s offer take no action. Shareholders who have already tendered their shares may withdraw them at any time prior to 12:01 a.m. New York City time, on June 7, 2024, according to TRC Capital’s offering documents.

GE Vernova encourages brokers and dealers, as well as other market participants, to review the SEC's letter regarding broker-dealer mini-tender offer dissemination and disclosure available at https://www.sec.gov/divisions/marketreg/minitenders/sia072401.htm.

GE Vernova requests that a copy of this news release be included with all distributions of materials relating to TRC Capital’s mini-tender offer for shares of GE Vernova's common stock.
