GE Announces Early Participation Results in Its Debt Tender Offer

By: via Business Wire

Early Participation Date Results:

  • A total of approximately $9.3 billion in principal amount of the Securities denominated in U.S. dollars, approximately £629 million in principal amount of the Securities denominated in Pounds Sterling, and approximately €865 million in principal amount of the Securities denominated in Euros, each listed in the table below were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Participation Date

GE (NYSE:GE) announces the results as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 22, 2022 (the “Early Participation Date”), for its previously announced offer to purchase for cash, for its own account and on behalf of the Subsidiary Issuers (as defined below), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated November 8, 2022 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”) for cash up to $7,000,000,000 (as converted on the basis set forth herein) (excluding the accrued and unpaid interest on such Securities) aggregate purchase price (the “Total Maximum Amount”) of the securities listed in the table below (such securities, the “Securities” and, such offer to purchase, the “Tender Offer”), issued, assumed or guaranteed by GE. Given the aggregate principal amount of the Securities validly tendered in the Tender Offer prior to the Early Participation Date, GE expects the aggregate purchase price of such Securities to exceed the Total Maximum Amount.

The table below outlines the title and identifiers for each series of Securities, the applicable maturity date, the principal amount outstanding as of the Early Participation Date, the Acceptance Priority Level, and the principal amount tendered as of the Early Participation Date as confirmed by the Information and Tender Agent (as defined below).
