We study the new properties (b) and (gb), which we had introduced in [13], for an operator having the SVEP on the complement of distinguished parts of its spectrum. Classes of operators are considered as illustrating examples. Mathematics Subject Classification (2010). 47A53, 47A10, 47A11. Keywords. property (b), property (gb), B-Fredholm operator, generalized Browder's theorem, generalized a-Browder's theorem, single valued extension property.
