An update from Chart Industries ( (GTLS) ) is now available.
On December 22 and December 29, 2025, Chart Industries, Inc. entered into retention letter agreements with three senior executives in connection with its planned merger with Baker Hughes Company. Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary Herbert Hotchkiss and Chief Human Resources Officer Gerry Vinci will each receive a one-time $750,000 retention bonus, paid on or before December 31, 2025, designed both to keep them in their roles through up to nine months after the merger closes and to mitigate potential adverse tax consequences for the company and the executives; the bonuses are subject to repayment if they resign without good reason or are terminated for cause before that date or before any termination of the merger agreement. Separately, Chief Technology Officer Joseph Belling is eligible for a $200,000 retention bonus that vests 12 months after the merger closes, with accelerated vesting if the merger is completed and his employment is subsequently terminated without cause or he resigns for good reason before that anniversary, underscoring Chart’s efforts to secure key leadership continuity through the merger process.
