Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management,

including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures as defined

in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial

Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025, and that the information

required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized,

and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated

to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding

required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**.** During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company continued to exit from

various transition service agreements with GE Aerospace primarily related to human resources (including payroll and benefit plan

administration) and associated information technology systems. Consequently, responsibility for execution and related internal controls

transferred to the Company, including certain general information technology controls in connection with information technology

environment changes. Other than those discussed in the preceding sentences, no change in the Company’s internal control over financial

reporting occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,

the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS**.** We are reporting the following matter in compliance with SEC requirements to disclose

administrative proceedings arising under laws that regulate the discharge of materials into the environment where a governmental authority

is a party and that involve potential monetary sanctions of $300,000 or greater. In March 2024, one of our Australian subsidiaries received

notice from the Australian Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) of its intention to issue

infringement notices imposing administrative fines on the subsidiary for importing equipment containing SF6 gas without an equipment

license, as required by local law related to synthetic greenhouse gas management and seek a court order to impose civil penalties for

delinquent reporting under such law. The applicable local law regulates the import to Australia of synthetic greenhouse gases in equipment,

including certain of our switchgear products, and our subsidiary had neglected to renew the import license required under the law. We

responded to DCCEEW, and following discussions with the agency, paid approximately $0.3 million in fines in connection with the

infringement notices during the three months ended June 30, 2024. Discussions with DCCEEW regarding a court-issued civil penalty order

are pending and we expect additional fines and related costs associated with such order may be more than $300,000. See Note 20 in the

Notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements for additional information relating to legal matters.
