E-mailFAIRFIELD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”) today announced that a newly formed finance subsidiary, GE International Funding Company (the “Issuer”), has commenced private offers to exchange (the “Exchange Offers”) the Issuer’s new notes (collectively, the “New Notes”) for the outstanding debt securities (collectively, the “Old Notes”) listed below under the heading “Exchange Offers Summary Tables.”
On April 10, 2015, General Electric Company (“GE”) announced a plan to reduce the size of its financial services businesses through the sale of most of the assets of GECC and to focus on continued investment and growth in GE’s industrial businesses (the “GE Capital Exit Plan”). That announcement also noted that the GE Capital Exit Plan would involve a merger of GECC with and into GE (the “Merger”) to assure compliance with debt covenants as GECC exits the assets planned for disposition. The Merger is part of a reorganization of GECC’s businesses (the “Reorganization”) pursuant to which GE will also separate GECC’s international and U.S. operations, and GECC’s international operations will be consolidated under a new international holding company (“GE Capital International Holdings”), which will have a separate capital structure and be separately supervised. The Reorganization and 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.
The Issuer is a newly formed finance subsidiary of GECC, but upon the completion of the Reorganization, the Issuer will become a subsidiary of GE Capital International Holdings. The New Notes will be fully, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed by GE, and the Old Notes are fully, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed by GE and will subsequently be assumed by GE in connection with the Merger. The New Notes initially will also be guaranteed by GECC, and upon completion of the Reorganization, GE Capital International Holdings will assume the guarantee by GECC. The Exchange Offers are not conditioned on the completion of the Reorganization.
Overview of the Exchange Offers
There are 123 series or tranches of Old Notes that may be tendered in one or more of the Exchange Offers, in each case as set forth in the “Exchange Offers Summary Tables” below.
The Exchange Offers include “Market Value Exchange Offers” and “Par for Par Exchange Offers.” The Market Value Exchange Offers consist of offers to exchange Old Notes for New Notes (“New Market Notes”) with either a six-month (the “2016 Market Value Exchange Offers”), 5 year, 10 year or 20 year maturity (the “2020/2025/2035 Market Value Exchange Offers”). In the Market Value Exchange Offers, the Total Exchange Consideration (as defined below) consists of New Market Notes issued in a principal amount and at market rates determined based on the methodology described below. The “Par for Par Exchange Offers” consist of offers to exchange Old Notes for New Notes (“New Par Notes”) in the same principal amount and with the same currency, maturity, interest rates and other payment terms as the Old Notes tendered. In the Par for Par Exchange Offers, the Total Exchange Consideration includes an additional cash payment as specified below for each series or tranche of Old Notes.
Each series or tranche of Old Notes may be tendered in the Par for Par Exchange Offers. In addition, most series or tranches of Old Notes may also be tendered in one or two of the Market Value Exchange Offers, in each case as specified in the “Exchange Offers Summary Tables” below. As a result, in certain cases, a series or tranche of Old Notes may be tendered in a 2016 Market Value Exchange Offer or a Par for Par Exchange Offer and, in certain other cases, a series or tranche of Old Notes may be tendered in a 2016 Market Value Exchange Offer, a 2020/2025/2035 Market Value Exchange Offer or a Par for Par Exchange Offer.
For each tender of Old Notes, Eligible Holders (as defined below) must elect a single Exchange Offer in which such Old Notes will be tendered (i.e., the same Old Notes may not be tendered in more than one Exchange Offer concurrently).
The Exchange Offers are subject to the following limitations:
- The aggregate principal amount of New Notes that may be issued in the Exchange Offers is $30 billion.
- The aggregate principal amount of 2016 New Notes (as defined below) that may be issued in the 2016 Market Value Exchange Offers is $15 billion (the “2016 New Notes Cap”).
- The aggregate principal amount of New Market Notes that may be issued in the 2020/2025/2035 Market Value Exchange Offers is $30 billion less the aggregate principal amount of any 2016 New Notes issued in the 2016 Market Value Exchange Offers (the “2020/2025/2035 New Notes Cap”).
- The aggregate principal amount of New Par Notes that may be issued in the Par for Par Exchange Offers is $30 billion less the aggregate principal amount of any New Notes issued in the Market Value Exchange Offers (the “Par for Par Cap”).
Old Notes tendered in the Exchange Offers will be accepted in the following order of priority:
- first, in the 2016 Market Value Exchange Offers, on a pro rata basis subject to the 2016 New Notes Cap;
- second, in the 2020/2025/2035 Market Value Exchange Offers, on a pro rata basis subject to the 2020/2025/2035 New Notes Cap; and
- third, in the Par for Par Exchange Offers, subject to the Par for Par Cap (in order of the Acceptance Priority Level of each series or tranche as set forth in the “Exchange Offers Summary Tables” below).

| ## | Subordinated notes. New Notes issued in exchange for the subordinated notes will be senior obligations. The 7.500% Old Notes due August 21, 2035 and 4.125% Old Notes due September 19, 2035 already benefit from a senior guarantee provided by GE. | |
| ### | Issuer is GECC and formerly included LJ VP Holdings LLC (JV Penske), an affiliate of GECC, as Co-Issuer. | |
| (1) | We refer to floating-rate notes as FRNs and fixed to floating-rate notes as F-FRNs. | |
| (2) | Each series or tranche of New Par Notes will have the same maturity and, in the case of fixed-rate New Par Notes, the same interest rate or in the case of floating-rate New Par Notes, the same interest rate basis, minimum interest rate, if any, interest reset dates, spread, and other terms relating to the method of calculating the interest rate, as the applicable Old Notes being exchanged as indicated in the Offer to Exchange. | |
| (3) | Minimum denominations in applicable currency of New Notes of a given series or tranche that may be issued in exchange for Old Notes. Old Notes of a given series or tranche may be tendered only in principal amounts such that New Notes will be issued in such minimum denominations. | |
|
(4) |
Per $1,000 (or 1,000 units of applicable currency) principal amount of Old Notes accepted for exchange. | |
| (5) | The Exchange Consideration for each $1,000 (or 1,000 units of applicable currency) principal amount of Old Notes tendered after the Early Participation Date and at or prior to the Expiration Date and accepted for exchange will be New Notes in a principal amount equal to the applicable Total Exchange Consideration (which is the sum of the principal amount of New Notes and the amount of cash set forth in the table above) minus $50 (or 50 units of applicable currency). As a result, in the case of the Par for Par Exchange Offers, Eligible Holders that tender Old Notes after the Early Participation Date will not receive the cash portion of the Total Exchange Consideration and will receive New Par Notes in a principal amount that will be less than the principal amount of the Old Notes tendered. | |
| (6) | Hybrids: Each series of subordinated debentures listed under the heading “Hybrids” includes a CUSIP or ISIN number for a corresponding series of trust preferred securities (the “Trust Preferred Securities”) issued by a GE Capital Trust in which a portion of subordinated debentures are held. These Trust Preferred Securities may be tendered in the Exchange Offers on the same terms and with the same acceptance priority level as those applicable to the underlying subordinated debentures to which they relate, with references to aggregate principal amounts of subordinated debentures corresponding to the same amount of aggregate liquidation preference of the Trust Preferred Securities. We will issue New Notes in exchange for any Trust Preferred Securities accepted for exchange; we will not issue any new Trust Preferred Securities in the Exchange Offers. Unless the context otherwise provides, references in this communication to “Old Notes,” insofar as they purport to be a description of the Old Notes described under the heading “Hybrids,” are to the underlying subordinated debentures rather than the Trust Preferred Securities; references to tenders of “Old Notes” that are applicable to Old Notes described under the heading “Hybrids” and similar references in this communication include the corresponding Trust Preferred Securities. |
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”). To be eligible to receive the applicable Total Exchange Consideration specified in the “Exchange Offers Summary Tables” above (the “Total Exchange Consideration”), Eligible Holders must validly tender and not validly withdraw their Old Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time on October 2, 2015, unless extended by the Issuer (such date and time as they may be extended by the Issuer, the “Early Participation Date”). Old Notes tendered for exchange may be validly withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time on October 2, 2015, unless extended by the Issuer (such date and time as they may be extended by the Issuer, the “Withdrawal Deadline”), but not thereafter unless required by law.
Eligible Holders who validly tender Old Notes after the Early Participation Date, but at or prior to the Expiration Date, and whose Old Notes are accepted for exchange by the Issuer, will only receive the applicable Exchange Consideration. The “Exchange Consideration” for each $1,000 principal amount (or 1,000 units of applicable currency) of the applicable series or tranche of Old Notes will be New Notes in a principal amount equal to the applicable Total Exchange Consideration minus $50 (or 50 units of applicable currency). As a result, in the case of the Par for Par Exchange Offers, Eligible Holders that tender Old Notes after the Early Participation Date will not receive the cash portion of the Total Exchange Consideration and will receive New Par Notes in a principal amount that will be less than the principal amount of the Old Notes tendered in such Par for Par Exchange Offers. In the case of the Market Value Exchange Offers, Eligible Holders that tender Old Notes after the Early Participation Date will receive New Notes in a principal amount that will also be less than the principal amount of the New Notes that they would have received had they received the Total Exchange Consideration.
The Total Exchange Consideration for each $1,000 (or £1,000) principal amount of each series or tranche of fixed-rate Old Notes tendered in a Market Value Exchange Offer for 2016 New Notes, 2020 New Notes, 2025 New Notes and 2035 New Notes will be calculated by the lead dealer managers at 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) (4:00 p.m. (London time)) on October 5, 2015, unless extended by the Issuer (such date and time, as they may be extended by the Issuer, the “Price Determination Date”) and will be equal to:
- the present value on the Settlement Date (as defined below) of $1,000 (or £1,000) principal amount of such Old Notes due on the maturity date (or if applicable, the par call date) of such Old Notes and all scheduled interest payments on such principal amount of Old Notes to be made from, but excluding, the Settlement Date up to, and including, such maturity date (or if applicable, such par call date), discounted to the Settlement Date in accordance with standard market practice as described by the formula set forth in the Offer to Exchange, at a discount rate equal to the applicable Exchange Offer Yield (as defined below), minus
- the Accrued Interest Amount (as defined below) per $1,000 (or £1,000) principal amount of such Old Notes;
such amount being rounded to the nearest cent per $1,000 (or pence per £1,000) principal amount of such Old Notes.
The “Exchange Offer Yield” will be equal to the sum of:
- the yield (the “Reference Yield”), as calculated by the lead dealer managers in accordance with standard market practice, that equates to the bid-side price of the Reference U.S. Treasury Security or the price of the Reference U.K. Gilt Security, as applicable, specified in “Exchange Offers Summary Tables” above for such series or tranche of Old Notes appearing at the Price Determination Date on the Bloomberg Pricing Monitor page specified in “Exchange Offers Summary Tables” above for such series or tranche of Old Notes (or any other recognized quotation source selected by the lead dealer managers in their sole discretion if such quotation report is not available or manifestly erroneous); plus
- the fixed spread (the “Fixed Spread”) specified in “Exchange Offers Summary Tables” above for such series or tranche of Old Notes.
In the case of any Old Notes tendered in a Market Value Exchange Offer for 2016 GBP New Notes, the Exchange Offer Yield will be expressed on an annualized basis.
The Total Exchange Consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of floating-rate Old Notes tendered in a Market Value Exchange Offer for 2016 New Notes will be the principal amount set forth under “Total Exchange Consideration” in the “Exchange Offers Summary Tables” above.
In addition to the applicable Total Exchange Consideration or Exchange Consideration, Eligible Holders whose Old Notes are accepted for exchange will be paid on the Settlement Date an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid interest on such Old Notes or, in the case of Trust Preferred Securities, accumulated and unpaid distributions, to, but excluding, the Settlement Date (the “Accrued Interest Amount”).
Each series or tranche of New Market Notes issued in a Market Value Exchange Offer will bear interest at the rate per annum, equal to the sum of: (a) the yield of the applicable reference security appearing at the Price Determination Date on the applicable Bloomberg reference page, or any other recognized quotation source selected by the lead dealer managers in their sole discretion if such quotation report is not available or manifestly erroneous, plus (b) the applicable spread for such series or tranche of New Market Notes, such sum rounded to the third decimal place when expressed as a percentage.
The applicable reference security, Bloomberg reference page and spread for each series or tranche of New Market Notes are as follows:
| New Market Notes | Reference Security |
BloombergReference Page |
Fixed Spread(basis points) |
|||
| 2016 USD New Notes | Eurodollar Synthetic Forward Rate (yield from two business days after the Price Determination Date to the maturity date of 2016 USD New Notes) | EDSF | +60 | |||
| 2016 GBP New Notes | 2.000% U.K. Gilt Security due January 22, 2016 | DMO2 | +90 | |||
| 2020 New Notes | 1.375% U.S. Treasury Security due August 31, 2020 (bid-side) | FIT1 | +105 | |||
| 2025 New Notes | 2.000% U.S. Treasury Security due August 15, 2025 (bid-side) | FIT1 | +135 | |||
| 2035 New Notes | 3.000% U.S. Treasury Security due May 15, 2045 (bid-side) | FIT1 | +155 |
If the aggregate principal amount of 2016 New Notes that would be issued in the 2016 Market Value Exchange Offers if all Old Notes tendered were to be accepted exceeds the $15 billion 2016 New Notes Cap, Old Notes tendered for 2016 New Notes will be accepted up to the 2016 New Notes Cap on a pro rata basis among all such Old Notes tendered. Old Notes of any series or tranche that are not accepted in the 2016 Market Value Exchange Offers due to proration will be treated as if tendered in the applicable Par for Par Exchange Offer for such series or tranche of Old Notes and will be subject to the applicable Acceptance Priority Level and the Par for Par Cap.
If the aggregate principal amount of 2020 New Notes, 2025 New Notes and 2035 New Notes that would be issued in the 2020/2025/2035 Market Value Exchange Offers if all Old Notes tendered were to be accepted exceeds the 2020/2025/2035 New Notes Cap, Old Notes tendered for 2020 New Notes, 2025 New Notes and 2035 New Notes will be accepted up to the 2020/2025/2035 New Notes Cap on a pro rata basis among all such Old Notes tendered. Old Notes tendered for 2020 New Notes, 2025 New Notes and 2035 New Notes that are not accepted due to proration will not be accepted for exchange in any Exchange Offer.
Subject to the Par for Par Cap, Old Notes of any series or tranche that are validly tendered in the Par for Par Exchange Offers will be accepted in accordance with the applicable Acceptance Priority Level (in numerical priority order) for such series or tranche of Old Notes as set forth in the “Exchange Offers Summary Tables” above, with Acceptance Priority Level 1 being the highest priority level. All validly tendered Old Notes having a higher Acceptance Priority Level will be accepted for exchange in the Par for Par Exchange Offers before any tendered Old Notes having a lower Acceptance Priority Level. If the remaining available amount within the Par for Par Cap is not sufficient to accept for exchange Old Notes with a particular Acceptance Priority Level, the remaining available amount will be allocated pro rata among those Old Notes with such Acceptance Priority Level and any Old Notes with a lower Acceptance Priority Level will not be accepted for exchange in the Par for Par Exchange Offers.
There is no cash tender offer or consent solicitation being conducted in connection with the Exchange Offers.
Our obligation to accept any Old Notes tendered in the Exchange Offers is subject to certain customary conditions. There is no overall minimum condition for the aggregate principal amount of New Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offers. Subject to applicable law, each Exchange Offer may be amended, extended or terminated individually.
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.
The New Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The Exchange Offers are being made only: (a) to holders of Old Notes that are QIBs who are acquiring New Notes for their own account or for the account of one or more other QIBs in private transactions in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof and (b) outside the United States, to holders of Old Notes other than “U.S. persons” as defined in Regulation S and who are not acquiring New Notes for the account or benefit of a “U.S. person,” in offshore transactions in compliance with Regulation S, and who in the case of (a) and (b) if outside the United States, are Non-U.S. Qualified Offerees (as defined in the Offer to Exchange). The holders of Old Notes who have represented to the Issuer that they are eligible to participate in the Exchange Offers on one of the foregoing bases are referred to as “Eligible Holders.”

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.
