Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits
(d) Exhibits
 
99 Press release, dated October 3, 2015 issued by GE.

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 the consummation of the Reorganization and the Exchange Offers; 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:

 
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;
   
 
our actual division of U.S. and international assets, which may not occur as expected; 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. This document includes certain forward-looking projected financial information that is based on current estimates and forecasts. Actual results could differ materially.

PRESS RELEASE


 
GE Capital Announces Early Participation Results of Private Exchange Offers
 
·  
$53.9 billion of Old Notes tendered
 
·  
Upsize of Total New Notes to be issued from $30 billion to $36 billion
 
·  
Upsize of 2016 New Notes Cap from $15 billion to $16.25 billion
 
FAIRFIELD, Conn. – October 3, 2015 – General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”) today announced the early participation results of the previously announced private offers commenced by GE Capital International Funding Company (the “Issuer”) to exchange (the “Exchange Offers”) the Issuer’s new senior unsecured notes (collectively, the “New Notes”) for certain outstanding debt securities (collectively, the “Old Notes”).
 
Based on information provided by D.F. King & Co., Inc. and Lucid Issuer Services Limited, the exchange agents and information agents for the Exchange Offers (the “Exchange Agents”), approximately $53.9 billion principal amount of Old Notes were tendered in the Exchange Offers by the Early Participation Date.
 
GECC also announced today that:
 
 
(i)
the principal amount of New Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offers has increased from $30 billion to $36 billion,
 
 
(ii)
the principal amount of 2016 New Notes to be issued in the 2016 Market Value Exchange Offers has increased from $15 billion to $16.25 billion (the “2016 New Notes Cap”) and
 
 
(iii)
the principal amount of New Market Notes to be issued in the 2020/2025/2035 Market Value Exchange Offers will be $36 billion less the principal amount of 2016 New Notes accepted in the 2016 Market Value Exchange Offers.
 
Based on the principal amount of Old Notes tendered in the Exchange Offers, it is anticipated that the 2016 New Notes Cap will permit all Old Notes validly tendered in the 2016 Market Value Exchange Offers to be accepted without proration. No Old Notes tendered in the Par for Par Exchange Offers will be accepted. The Issuer currently expects to return any Old Notes tendered in the Par for Par Exchange Offers on October 6, 2015.
 
The Exchange Offers are being conducted by the Issuer upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a separate offer to exchange (which is available only to Eligible Holders), as modified by this announcement (the “Offer to Exchange”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the announcement relating to the Exchange Offers dated September 21, 2015.
 
The “Early Participation Date” expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on October 2, 2015.  Holders of Old Notes validly tendered after the Early Participation Date but prior to the Expiration Date and accepted in the Exchange Offers will no longer be entitled to the Total Exchange Consideration, but instead will be entitled to the reduced Exchange Consideration described below. The Withdrawal Deadline has expired. Old Notes tendered for exchange may not be validly withdrawn, unless we determine in the future in our sole discretion to enable withdrawal rights as required by law.
 
After giving effect to the upsize, and based on the principal amounts of Old Notes tendered by the Early Participation Date and the other assumptions described below in the “Exchange Offers Summary Tables,” a summary of the hypothetical principal amounts of New Notes that would be issued in the Exchange Offers is set

forth below.  The actual amounts of New Notes to be issued and corresponding proration factors will vary from those set forth in the tables below and will be based on the actual principal amounts of Old Notes validly tendered in the Exchange Offers at or prior to the Expiration Date and the actual consideration to be paid as determined as of the Price Determination Date.

The Exchange Offers will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time on October 19, 2015, unless extended by the Issuer (such date and time as they may be extended by the Issuer, the “Expiration Date”).
 
Eligible Holders of Old Notes validly tendered and accepted after the Early Participation Date will not be entitled to the Total Exchange Consideration, but instead will be entitled to the Exchange Consideration, which for each $1,000 (or £1,000) principal amount of Old Notes tendered and accepted will be New Notes in a principal amount equal to the applicable Total Exchange Consideration minus $50 (or £50). Accordingly, Eligible Holders that tender Old Notes in the Market Value Exchange Offers after the Early Participation Date will receive New Notes in a principal amount that will be less than the principal amount of the New Notes that they would have received had they received the Total Exchange Consideration.
 
The “Settlement Date” for the Exchange Offers is expected to be five business days following the Expiration Date, must be a business day both in the City of New York and in London and would be October 26, 2015 based on the current Expiration Date.
 
Any of the Old Notes that are not tendered at or prior to the Expiration Date or are not accepted for exchange will remain outstanding, will mature on their respective maturity dates and will continue to accrue interest in accordance with, and will otherwise be entitled to all the rights and privileges under, the respective instruments governing their terms, including their existing GE guarantee.
 
As previously announced, the Exchange Offers are intended, among other things, to establish an international holding company (GE Capital International Holdings) with an efficient and simplified capital structure that is satisfactory to GECC’s regulators, a key step in terminating the nonbank systemically important financial institution designation for GECC.  In addition, the Exchange Offers seek to align the liabilities of GE Capital International Holdings to its assets from a maturity profile and liquidity standpoint, taking into consideration asset sales, and where appropriate shortening the maturity profile of targeted liabilities.
 
Exchange Offers Summary Tables

The tables below provide information regarding the principal amount of each series or tranche of Old Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Participation Date pursuant to the Exchange Offers, based on information provided by the Exchange Agents.  The following tables also set forth the hypothetical principal amounts of Old Notes to be accepted pursuant to the Exchange Offers, the hypothetical proration factors and the hypothetical principal amounts of New Notes to be issued pursuant to the Exchange Offers.  These hypothetical amounts are for illustrative purposes only and are not final. They are based on the hypothetical consideration set forth in the Offer to Exchange, which consideration was determined at 11:00 a.m. (New York City

Forward-Looking Statements
 
This communication 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 the consummation of the Reorganization and the Exchange Offers; our announced GE Capital Exit Plan to reduce the size of our financial services businesses, including expected cash and non-cash charges associated with the GE Capital Exit 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 GE’s industrial business and GECC earnings.  For us, particular uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements include: obtaining (or the timing of obtaining) any required regulatory reviews or approvals or any other consents or approvals associated with our announced GE Capital Exit Plan to reduce the size of our financial services businesses (including the Merger); our ability to complete incremental asset sales as part of the GE Capital Exit 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 the GE Capital Exit Plan as well as other aspects of the GE Capital Exit 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 Mortgage Corporation, 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 the GE Capital Exit Plan, 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; our actual division of U.S. and international assets, which may not occur as expected; and the other factors that are described in “Risk Factors” in each of GE’s and GECC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as such descriptions may be updated or amended in any future report GE or GECC files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  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.
