Larry Culp's employment contract guarantees it.

GE plans to split the conglomerate into three companies focused on aviation, healthcare and energy. We can’t know the ultimate outcome of such a split, but there is one absolute certainty: CEO Larry Culp will have extraordinary financial gains.

Culp will be awarded between 4.6 million shares and 13.9 million shares, with vesting based on whether GE’s highest average closing price for any 30 consecutive trading days between Aug. 18, 2020 and Aug. 17, 2024 hits specific trading values, with a threshold, target and maximum payments. SOC Investment Group, which works with pension funds at four unions and was then known at CtW Group, argued in a letter ahead of the 2021 annual meeting that Culp’s award could be worth “a staggering $232.5 million at maximum. Astonishingly, the threshold performance hurdle is 12% lower than the stock price when Mr. Culp was hired” in October 2018.

Whether GE’s plans to split into three companies will be a change in control may depend in part on whether “more than 50% of the surviving entity is controlled by the shareholders immediately prior to such event, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately prior to the event.”

Prince Harry says he warned Twitter CEO of U.S. Capitol riotLONDON (AP) — Britain's Prince Harry has sharply attacked the failure of social media companies to challenge hate online, revealing that he warned the chief executive of Twitter ahead of the Jan. 6 Capitol riots that the site was being used to stage political unrest. Harry made the comments Tuesday in an online panel on misinformation in California. He said he made his concerns known via email to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey the day before the riot in Washington. “Jack and I were emailing each other Prince Harry also warned the dinosaurs about the extinction, Elvis about dying on a toilet, JFK about book depositories, and of course Prince Harry about marrying a skeezy, lying, attention starved trollop that tears him away from the royal family. On the behalf of Jack, I can say “good riddance”. He does not need lecture from you Why didn’t you just tweet it
