Item 8.01 Other Events.

As reported by General Electric Company (the "Company" or "GE") on November 17, 2015, GE completed the split-off of Synchrony Financial ("Synchrony") which was reported in General Electric Capital Corporation's ("GECC's") Consumer business. As previously disclosed in a Form 8-K filed on November 23, 2015, that transaction resulted in GE accepting 671,366,809 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of its Synchrony shares, as well as a pro forma gain as of September 30, 2015 of approximately $3.7 billion. Synchrony's historical results, as well as the actual gain on the transaction, will be reported as discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Also, as previously reported by GE on November 30, 2015, GE met the criteria to classify the rest of GECC's Consumer business as held for sale as of that date. GE will report GECC's Consumer business as discontinued operations beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Unaudited pro forma financial information giving effect to both the Synchrony split-off and the classification of GECC's Consumer business (including Synchrony) as discontinued operations is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.

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:

	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 GE Capital Global Holdings, LLC's ("New GECC") funding, and New 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;

	New GECC's ability to pay dividends to GE at the planned level, which may be affected by New 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;

	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 Appliances disposition and our announced plan and transactions to reduce the size of our financial services businesses;

	our success in integrating acquired businesses and operating joint ventures;

	our ability to realize anticipated earnings and savings from announced transactions, acquired businesses and 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.

This document includes certain forward-looking projected financial information that is based on current estimates and forecasts. Actual results could differ materially.

EXHIBIT 99

GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As previously reported by General Electric Company (the "Company" or "GE") on November 17, 2015, GE completed the split-off of Synchrony Financial ("Synchrony") through which the Company accepted 671,366,809 shares of GE common stock from its shareholders in exchange for 705,270,833 shares of Synchrony stock that it owned (the "Exchange"). As a result, Synchrony's historical results, which had been reported in General Electric Capital Corporation's ("GECC's") Consumer business, will be reported in GE's consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations and in subsequent periods GE's consolidated financial statements will no longer reflect the assets, liabilities, results of operations or cash flows attributable to Synchrony.

Also, as previously reported by GE on November 30, 2015, the rest of GECC's Consumer business met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The Consumer business, including the results of Synchrony, will be reported as discontinued operations beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position of GE as of September 30, 2015, is presented as if the Exchange and the classification of the Consumer business (including Synchrony) as discontinued operations, as described in the notes to these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, had occurred at September 30, 2015. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and each of the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, reflect the classification of Consumer as discontinued operations and the Synchrony split-off as if such events had occurred on January 1, 2012. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based on the historical financial statements of GE for each period presented and in the opinion of GE management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of the pro forma data have been made.

These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or financial condition that would have been achieved had the Exchange and classification of the Consumer business as discontinued operations been completed as of the dates indicated or of the results that may be obtained in the future. These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto should be read together with the following:



GE's audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, and Management's Discussion and Analysis included in GE's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 as updated by GE's Current Report on Form 8-K filed August 7, 2015.

	GE's unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and Management's Discussion and Analysis included in GE's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

	GE's Current Report on Form 8-K filed November 23, 2015.

These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements reflect an exchange ratio of 1.0505 shares of Synchrony common stock for each share of GE common stock, which represents the ratio that was in effect following the official close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on November 12, 2015, and is calculated as the average GE price of $30.3454 per share divided by 93% of the average Synchrony price of $31.0620 per share, reflecting a discount of 7%. The average prices reflect the simple arithmetic average of the daily volume-weighted average prices of shares of GE common stock and Synchrony common stock on the NYSE during the three consecutive trading days ending on and including November 12, 2015. These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the acceptance of 671,366,809 shares of GE common stock in exchange for the 705,270,833 shares of Synchrony common stock.


Shares of Synchrony common stock exchanged		705,270,833
Exchange ratio		1.0505
Total shares of GE common stock accepted		671,366,809

The 671,366,809 shares of GE common stock acquired in the Exchange have been reflected as treasury stock on the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position. This transaction results in a pro forma one-time net gain to GE estimated as of September 30, 2015 to be approximately $3,668 million calculated as follows:

(In millions)

Fair value of GE common stock tendered (671,366,809 shares acquired at the GE closing price of	$	20,383
$30.36 per share as of November 16, 2015)
GECC's carrying value in Synchrony at September 30, 2015		(16,589)
Accumulated other comprehensive loss		(24)
Estimated transaction costs		(102)
Pro forma net gain as of September 30, 2015	$	3,668

The pro forma net gain, which would be reflected in discontinued operations in GE's consolidated statement of earnings, has not been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of earnings and has been reflected as an adjustment to retained earnings on the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position.

The amount of the actual gain to be reported in the fourth quarter of 2015 will differ from the pro forma net gain set forth above based on factors including GE's carrying value of Synchrony at the time the Exchange was consummated (which carrying value increased as GE recognized its share of Synchrony's earnings through the closing of the Exchange).

2) CONSUMER DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

As previously reported by GE on November 30, 2015, GE met the criteria to classify the rest of GECC's Consumer business as held for sale as of that date. The Consumer business will be reported as discontinued operations beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015. These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements present the Consumer business (including Synchrony) as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
