GE HealthCare urges rejection of below-market mini-tender offer

March 31, 2026 4:11 PM

GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: GEHC) announced it received notice of an unsolicited mini-tender offer from Potemkin Limited to purchase up to 100,000 shares at $45.80 per share in cash. The company recommends shareholders reject the offer.

Potemkin Limited's offer price represents approximately 34.80 percent below GE HealthCare's $70.25 closing price on March 18, 2026, the last trading day before the mini-tender offer commenced. The offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m. New York time on March 17, 2027.

GE HealthCare stated it does not endorse the offer and advised shareholders not to tender their shares due to the below-market pricing and numerous conditions. The company noted potential significant delays between when shareholders tender shares and receive payment, along with limited withdrawal options.

Mini-tender offers seek to acquire less than five percent of outstanding shares, avoiding many Securities and Exchange Commission disclosure and procedural requirements that apply to larger tender offers. The SEC has cautioned investors that some bidders making mini-tender offers at below-market prices hope to catch investors off guard.

Potemkin Limited has made similar mini-tender offers for GE HealthCare shares and shares of other companies. GE HealthCare emphasized it has no affiliation with Potemkin Limited and bears no responsibility for the offer's obligations.

The company advised shareholders who have not responded to take no action. Those who already tendered shares may withdraw them within 14 days of delivering their acceptance form to the depositary, according to the offer documentation.

GE HealthCare urged investors to obtain current market quotations, consult with brokers or financial advisors, and exercise caution regarding the offer.
