- “On the same date, GE HealthCare UK Holdings made a partial repayment of £60,000,000 in respect of its loan from GE Healthcare Limited.”
- “As a non-adjusting subsequent event, on 30 June 2026, the Board of directors decided that the remediation activities of the company's Intermediate Level Waste will be performed using internal resources and these activities will be incurred during the period from 2027 to 2045, instead of the period preceding the expected disposal date in 2060, using third parties. The financial impact of the change in the timing of cashflow estimates is approximately £1,000 million.”
