Prior to the Averaging Period – the period in which the values of the GE common stock and Synchrony common stock are calculated for the purpose of this exchange offer (currently expected to be November 10, 11 and 12, 2015) – and commencing on the third trading day of the exchange offer, the website will provide indicative exchange ratios for each day that will be calculated based on the indicative per-share values of GE common stock and Synchrony common stock on that day, calculated as though that day were the expiration date of the exchange offer.During the Averaging Period, the website will provide indicative exchange ratios calculated as follows: (i) on the first day of the Averaging Period, the indicative exchange ratio will be calculated based on the daily VWAPs of GE common stock and Synchrony common stock for that first day of the Averaging Period and (ii) on the second day of the Averaging Period, the indicative exchange ratio will be calculated based on the simple arithmetic average of the daily VWAPs of GE common stock and Synchrony common stock for the first and second day of the Averaging Period. The website will not provide an indicative exchange ratio on the third day of the Averaging Period. During the first two days of the Averaging Period, the indicative exchange ratios will be updated on the website each day by 4:30 p.m. New York City time.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains “forward-looking statements” – that is, statements related to future, not past, events. In this context, forward-looking statements often address our expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “see,” “will,” “would,” or “target.”

Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, such as statements about our announced plan to reduce the size of our financial services businesses, including expected cash and non-cash charges associated with this plan; expected income; earnings per share; revenues; organic growth; margins; cost structure; restructuring charges; cash flows; return on capital; capital expenditures, capital allocation or capital structure; dividends; and the split between Industrial and GE Capital earnings.

For us, particular uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements include:

 

    failure to consummate the exchange offer;

 

    obtaining (or the timing of obtaining) any required regulatory reviews or approvals or any other consents or approvals associated with our announced plan to reduce the size of our financial services businesses;

 

    our ability to complete incremental asset sales as part of that plan in a timely manner (or at all) and at the prices we have assumed;

 

    changes in law, economic and financial conditions, including interest and exchange rate volatility, commodity and equity prices and the value of financial assets, including the impact of these conditions on our ability to sell or the value of incremental assets to be sold as part of our announced plan to reduce the size of our financial services businesses as well as other aspects of that plan;


    the impact of conditions in the financial and credit markets on the availability and cost of GECC’s funding, and GECC’s exposure to counterparties;

 

    the impact of conditions in the housing market and unemployment rates on the level of commercial and consumer credit defaults;

 

    pending and future mortgage loan repurchase claims and other litigation claims in connection with WMC, which may affect our estimates of liability, including possible loss estimates;

 

    our ability to maintain our current credit rating and the impact on our funding costs and competitive position if we do not do so;

 

    the adequacy of our cash flows and earnings and other conditions, which may affect our ability to pay our quarterly dividend at the planned level or to repurchase shares at planned levels;

 

    GECC’s ability to pay dividends to GE at the planned level, which may be affected by GECC’s cash flows and earnings, financial services regulation and oversight, and other factors;

 

    our ability to convert pre-order commitments/wins into orders;

 

    the price we realize on orders since commitments/wins are stated at list prices;

 

    customer actions or developments such as early aircraft retirements or reduced energy demand and other factors that may affect the level of demand and financial performance of the major industries and customers we serve;

 

    the effectiveness of our risk management framework;

 

    the impact of regulation and regulatory, investigative and legal proceedings and legal compliance risks, including the impact of financial services regulation and litigation;

 

    adverse market conditions, timing of and ability to obtain required bank regulatory approvals, or other factors relating to us or Synchrony Financial that could prevent us from completing the Synchrony Financial split-off as planned;

 

    our capital allocation plans, as such plans may change including with respect to the timing and size of share repurchases, acquisitions, joint ventures, dispositions and other strategic actions;

 

    our success in completing, including obtaining regulatory approvals for, announced transactions, such as the proposed transactions and alliances with Alstom, Appliances and our announced plan to reduce the size of our financial services businesses, and our ability to realize anticipated earnings and savings;

 

    our success in integrating acquired businesses and operating joint ventures;

 

    the impact of potential information technology or data security breaches; and

 

    the other factors that are described in “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

These or other uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements.
