(collectively, the “Subsidiary Issuers”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated November 10, 2021 (as amended hereby, and as it may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”):

  • up to $7,000,000,000 (the “Pool One Maximum Amount”) aggregate principal amount (U.S. dollar equivalent) of the securities listed on Table I below (such securities, the “Pool One Securities” and, such offer to purchase, the “Pool One Tender Offer”), issued by GE or an affiliate (and assumed or guaranteed by GE);
  • up to $7,950,000,000 (as previously amended, the “New Pool Two Maximum Amount”) aggregate principal amount (U.S. dollar equivalent) of the securities listed on Table II below (such securities, the “Pool Two Securities” and, such offer to purchase, the “Pool Two Tender Offer”), issued by GE or an affiliate (and assumed or guaranteed by GE); and
  • up to $10,050,000,000 (as previously amended, the “New Pool Three Maximum Amount” and together with the Pool One Maximum Amount and the New Pool Two Maximum Amount, the “New Maximum Amounts” and each, a “Maximum Amount”) aggregate principal amount (U.S. dollar equivalent) of the securities listed on Table III below (such securities, the “Pool Three Securities” and, together with the Pool One Securities and the Pool Two Securities, the “Securities” and, such offer to purchase, the “Pool Three Tender Offer” and, together with the Pool One Tender Offer and the Pool Two Tender Offer, the “Tender Offers” and each, a “Tender Offer”), issued by GE or an affiliate (and assumed or guaranteed by GE).

Table I, Table II and Table III below outline the applicable “Reference Yield” and the applicable “Total Consideration” for each series of Securities, as determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase.

The “Total Consideration” for each series of Fixed Spread Securities (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) was calculated by reference to the applicable “Reference Yield,” which means, (i) for each series of Fixed Spread Dollar Securities and Fixed Spread Sterling Securities (each, as defined in the Offer to Purchase), a yield to the applicable maturity date of such series of Securities equal to the sum (such sum being annualized in the case of the Fixed Spread Sterling Securities) of (a) the Reference Yield of the applicable Reference Security outlined in the applicable table below, determined at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on November 29, 2021 (the “Reference Yield Determination Date”), plus (b) the applicable Fixed Spread (as set forth on the applicable table below), minus accrued and unpaid interest on such Securities from, and including, the most recent interest payment date prior to the Early Payment Date (as defined below) up to, but not including, the Early Payment Date, and (ii) for each series of Fixed Spread Euro Securities (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), a yield to the applicable maturity date of such series of Securities equal to the sum of (a) the Reference Yield (corresponding to the applicable Interpolated Rate for such series listed in the applicable table below) determined at the Reference Yield Determination Date plus (b) the applicable Fixed Spread, minus accrued and unpaid interest on such Securities from, and including, the most recent interest payment date prior to the Early Payment Date up to, but not including, the Early Payment Date.

The “Total Consideration” for each series of Fixed Price Securities (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) is a price per $1,000, £1,000 or €1,000 principal amount of such series of Fixed Price Securities listed in Table I, Table II or Table III, as applicable.

Holders who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw such Securities at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 24, 2021 (the “Early Participation Date”) that were accepted for purchase will receive the applicable “Total Consideration” listed in Table I, Table II or Table III below, as applicable, for their Securities, which includes an early participation amount of $50.00 per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities denominated in U.S. dollars, £50.00 per £1,000 principal amount of the Securities denominated in Pounds Sterling, or €50.00 per €1,000 principal amount of the Securities denominated in Euros, as applicable, that were accepted for purchase (the “Early Participation Amount”). In addition, holders whose Securities were accepted for purchase pursuant to a Tender Offer will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities from, and including, the most recent interest payment date prior to the applicable Payment Date up to, but not including, the applicable Payment Date (“Accrued Interest”). See the Offer to Purchase for additional information.

The applicable Total Consideration payable for each series of Fixed Spread Securities will be at a price per $1,000, £1,000 or €1,000 principal amount of such series of Fixed Spread Securities validly tendered on or prior to the Early Participation Date and accepted for purchase by us, which is calculated using the applicable Fixed Spread, and when calculated in such a manner already includes the applicable Early Participation Amount.  The applicable Total Consideration payable for each series of Fixed Price Securities will be at a fixed price per $1,000, £1,000 or €1,000 principal amount of such series of Fixed Price Securities validly tendered on or prior to the Early Participation Date and accepted for purchase by us, as set forth above.  In addition, holders whose Securities were accepted for purchase will also receive any Accrued Interest on such Securities.

Withdrawal rights for each Tender Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 24, 2021, and have not been extended. The “Early Payment Date” for each Tender Offer is December 1, 2021 and the “Expiration Date” is 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 9, 2021, unless extended or earlier terminated by GE. Consummation of each Tender Offer is subject to certain conditions (as described in the Offer to Purchase). Given that the aggregate principal amount of the Securities validly tendered in each Tender Offer prior to the Early Participation Date exceeds the applicable Maximum Amount, GE will not accept any further tenders of such Securities.

In those jurisdictions where the securities, blue sky or other laws require the Tender Offers to be made by a licensed broker or dealer and the Dealer Managers or any of their respective affiliates is such a licensed broker or dealer in any such jurisdiction, the Tender Offers shall be deemed to have been made by the Dealer Managers or such affiliate (as the case may be) on behalf of GE in such jurisdiction.

Persons into whose possession this announcement or the Offer to Purchase comes are required by GE, the Subsidiary Issuers, the Dealer Managers, the Information and Tender Agent to inform themselves about, and to observe, any such restrictions.

Accordingly, this communication is not being directed at persons within the United Kingdom save in circumstances where section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply.

This announcement does not constitute an offer of securities to the public in any Member State of the European Economic Area (a “Relevant State”). In any Relevant State, this communication is only addressed to and is only directed at qualified investors within the meaning of Article 2(e) of the Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended or superseded) (the “Prospectus Regulation”) in that Relevant State. This announcement and information contained herein must not be acted on or relied upon by persons who are not qualified investors within the meaning of Article 2(e) of the Prospectus Regulation.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This announcement contains “forward-looking statements”—that is, statements related to future, not past, events. These 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,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “target,” “preliminary,” or “range.” Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by such forward-looking statements. The inclusion of such statements should not be regarded as a representation that such plans, estimates or expectations will be achieved. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such plans, estimates or expectations include, among others, (1) the ability to effect the spin-off transactions and to meet the conditions related thereto, (2) potential uncertainty during the pendency of the spin-off transactions that could affect GE’s financial performance, (3) the possibility that the spin-off transactions will not be completed within the anticipated time period or at all, (4) the possibility that the spin-off transactions will not achieve their intended benefits, (5) the possibility of disruption, including changes to existing business relationships, disputes, litigation or unanticipated costs in connection with the spin-off transactions, (6) uncertainty of the expected financial performance of GE or the separated companies following completion of the spin-off transactions, (7) negative effects of the announcement or pendency of the spin-off transactions on the market price of GE’s securities and/or on the financial performance of GE, (8) evolving legal, regulatory and tax regimes, (9) changes in general economic and/or industry specific conditions, (10) actions by third parties, including government agencies, and (11) other risk factors as detailed from time to time in GE’s reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including GE’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, GE’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021, GE’s current reports on Form 8-K and other documents filed by GE with the SEC. The foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive.

These or other uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and we disclaim and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement in this announcement, except as required by applicable law or regulation.
