Forward-Looking Statements
Our public communications and Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings may contain 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, such as statements about the expected timing, size or other terms of the Tender Offers; our ability to complete
the Tender Offers; the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business operations, financial results and financial position
and on the world economy; our expected financial performance, including cash flows, revenues, organic growth, margins, earnings
and earnings per share; macroeconomic and market conditions and volatility; planned and potential business or asset dispositions;
our de-leveraging plans, including leverage ratios and targets, the timing and nature of actions to reduce indebtedness and our
credit ratings and outlooks; GE Capital Global Holdings, LLC (“GE Capital”) and our funding and liquidity; our businesses’
cost structures and plans to reduce costs; restructuring, goodwill impairment or other financial charges; or tax rates.
For us, particular uncertainties that could
cause our actual results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to: the severity, magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, including impacts of the pandemic, of businesses’
and governments’ responses to the pandemic and of individual factors such as aviation passenger confidence on our operations
and personnel, and on commercial activity and demand across our and our customers’ businesses, and on global supply chains;
our inability to predict the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and related impacts will continue to adversely impact our business
operations, financial performance, results of operations, financial position, the prices of our securities and the achievement
of our strategic objectives; changes in macroeconomic and market conditions and market volatility (including developments and volatility
arising from the COVID-19 pandemic), including interest rates, the value of securities and other financial assets (including our
equity ownership position in Baker Hughes), oil, natural gas and other commodity prices and exchange rates, and the impact of such
changes and volatility on our financial position and businesses; our de-leveraging and capital allocation plans, including with
respect to actions to reduce our indebtedness, the timing and amount of GE dividends, organic investments, and other priorities;
further downgrades of our current short- and long-term credit ratings or ratings outlooks, or changes in rating application or
methodology, and the related impact on our liquidity, funding profile, costs and competitive position; GE’s liquidity and
the amount and timing of our GE Industrial cash flows and earnings, which may be impacted by customer, supplier, competitive, contractual
and other dynamics and conditions; GE Capital’s capital and liquidity needs, including in connection with GE Capital’s
run-off insurance operations and discontinued operations; the amount and timing of required capital contributions to the insurance
operations and any strategic actions that we may pursue; the impact of conditions in the financial and credit markets on GE Capital’s
ability to sell financial assets; the availability and cost of funding; and GE Capital’s exposure to particular counterparties
and markets, including through GE Capital Aviation Services to the aviation sector and adverse impacts related to COVID-19; our
success
in executing and completing asset dispositions
or other transactions, including our plan to exit our equity ownership position in Baker Hughes, the timing of closing for such
transactions and the expected proceeds and benefits to GE; global economic trends, competition and geopolitical risks, including
changes in the rates of investment or economic growth in key markets we serve, or an escalation of sanctions, tariffs or other
trade tensions between the U.S. and China or other countries, and related impacts on our businesses’ global supply chains
and strategies; market developments or customer actions that may affect levels of demand and the financial performance of the major
industries and customers we serve, such as secular, cyclical and competitive pressures in our Power business, pricing and other
pressures in the renewable energy market, levels of demand for air travel and other customer dynamics such as early aircraft retirements,
conditions in key geographic markets and other shifts in the competitive landscape for our products and services; operational execution
by our businesses, including our ability to improve the operations and execution of our Power and Renewable Energy businesses,
and the performance of our Aviation business; changes in law, regulation or policy that may affect our businesses, such as trade
policy and tariffs, regulation related to climate change and the effects of U.S. tax reform and other tax law changes; our decisions
about investments in new products, services and platforms, and our ability to launch new products in a cost-effective manner; our
ability to increase margins through implementation of operational changes, restructuring and other cost reduction measures; the
impact of regulation and regulatory, investigative and legal proceedings and legal compliance risks, including the impact of Alstom,
SEC and other investigative and legal proceedings; the impact of actual or potential failures of our products or third-party products
with which our products are integrated, such as the fleet grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX and the timing of its return to service
and return to delivery, and related reputational effects; the impact of potential information technology, cybersecurity 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, 2019, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2020, and under Part II, Item 1A, of our Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, filed with the SEC on July 29, 2020, as such descriptions may be updated or amended
in any future reports we file with the SEC. 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 Current Report on
Form 8-K, except as required by applicable law or regulation.
