This Amendment No. 6 and Final Amendment amends and supplements the
Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") filed by General Electric
Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("GECC"), General Electric
Pension Trust, a New York common law trust ("GEPT"), GE Investment Private
Placement Partners I, Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership
("GEIPPP"), GE Asset Management Incorporated, a Delaware corporation and a
wholly owned subsidiary of General Electric Company ("GEAM"), General
Electric Capital Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation and General
Electric Company, a New York corporation on July 12, 1993 and amended on
each of May 24, 1994, December 10, 1997, July 5, 2001, August 7, 2001 and
January 30, 2002, relating to the common stock, par value $1.00 per share
(the "Common Stock") of Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"). Capitalized terms used and not defined in this
Amendment have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

The Schedule 13D is amended in the following manner:


Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
------    ------------------------------------

          Item 5 paragraphs (a) to (e) are hereby amended to read as
          follows:

          (a) to (e) On January 31, 2002, GECC, GEPT and GEIPP sold an
          aggregate of 2,399,998 shares of Common Stock in a negotiated
          transaction to a financial institution at a price of $35.30 per
          share.

          As a result of this transaction, none of GECC, GEPT and GEIPP
          beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock and, accordingly,
          this Amendment represents the final amendment to the Schedule 13D
          previously filed by GECC, GEPT, GEIPP, GEAM, General Electric
          Capital Services, Inc. and General Electric Company.
