The undersigned acknowledges receipt of the prospectus dated December 18, 2015 (the “Prospectus”) in connection with the offer by GE to exchange up to 5,944,250 shares of GE 5.00% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series D, and cash as applicable, for shares of GE (i) 4.00% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, (ii) 4.10% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B and/or (iii) 4.20% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C, which we refer to collectively as the “Old Preferred Stock”, that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the exchange offer.


Shares of Old Preferred Stock tendered pursuant to the exchange offer may be withdrawn at any time before 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on the expiration date of the exchange offer and, unless GE has previously accepted them pursuant to the exchange offer, may also be withdrawn at any time after the expiration of 40 business days from the commencement of the exchange offer.
