information or to make any representation not contained or incorporated by reference in or not consistent with this Prospectus, any Final Terms
or any financial statements or further information supplied pursuant to the Notes and, if given or made, such information or representation

other evaluation and should not be considered as a recommendation by the Issuers, the Guarantor or any of the Dealers that any recipient of

contemplating purchasing any of the Notes should make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs, and its own
appraisal of the creditworthiness, of the Issuers and the Guarantor. Neither this Prospectus nor any other information supplied in connection
with any Series of Notes constitutes an offer or invitation by or on behalf of the Issuers, the Guarantor or any of the Dealers to any person to
purchase any Notes other than the Notes described in the relevant Final Terms relating thereto.

The delivery of this Prospectus does not at any time imply that the information contained herein concerning the Issuers or the Guarantor is

Incorporated by Reference"). This Prospectus shall, save as specified herein, be read and construed on the basis that such documents are so
incorporated and form part of this Prospectus.

Guarantor or the Dealers represents that this document may be lawfully distributed, or that any Notes may be lawfully offered, in compliance
with any applicable registration or other requirements in any such jurisdiction, or pursuant to an exemption available thereunder, or assume any
responsibility for facilitating any such distribution or offering. In particular, no action has been taken by any Issuer, the Guarantor or any
Dealer which would permit a public offering of any Notes outside the European Economic Area or distribution of this document in any
jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. Accordingly, no Notes may be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, and neither this
Prospectus nor any advertisement or other offering material may be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances

iii

that will result in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations and the Dealers have represented that all offers and sales by them will
be made on the same terms. Persons into whose possession this Prospectus or any Notes come must inform themselves about, and observe, any
such restrictions. In particular, there are restrictions on the distribution of this Prospectus and the offer or sale of Notes in the United States, the

In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) named as the Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons
acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager(s)) in the applicable Final Terms may over-allot Notes (provided that, in the case of any
Tranche of Notes to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange, the aggregate principal amount of Notes allotted does not
exceed 105 per cent. of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Tranche) or effect transactions with a view to supporting the
market price of the Notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, there is no assurance that the Stabilising
Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of a Stabilising Manager) will undertake stabilisation action. Any stabilisation action may
begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the relevant Tranche of Notes is made and, if
begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the relevant Tranche of
Notes and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche of Notes.

in NGN form) for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, for credit to the
account designated by or on behalf of the purchaser thereof. The interests of
the beneficial owner or owners in a temporary global Note will be
exchangeable after the Exchange Date for an interest in a permanent global
Note to be held by either a Common Safekeeper (if the permanent global Note
is intended to be issued in NGN form) or a Common Depositary (if the
permanent global Note is not intended to be issued in NGN form) for
Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, for credit to the account designated
by or on behalf of the beneficial owner thereof, or for definitive Bearer Notes
or (if so provided in the applicable Final Terms) for definitive Registered
Notes; provided, however, that such exchange will be made only upon receipt
of ownership certificates. Global Notes will only be issued in NGN form with
respect to a Series of euro denominated Notes issued by GE Capital and/or

basis of such Fixed Day Count Fraction (as defined under "Description of the
Notes Interest and Interest Rates") as may be set forth in the applicable
Final Terms.
Floating Rate Notes:
The relevant Issuer will pay interest on Floating Rate Notes on the dates
specified in the applicable Final Terms. Each Series of Floating Rate Notes
will have one or more interest rate bases as indicated in the applicable Final
Terms. Interest on Floating Rate Notes will be calculated on the basis of such
Floating Day Count Fraction (as defined under "Description of the Notes

Terms.

Such period(s) or date(s) as may be indicated in the applicable Final Terms.
Payment Date(s) for Floating Rate
Notes:
Indexed Notes:
Notes may be issued with the principal amount payable at maturity, or interest
to be paid thereon, or both, to be determined with reference to the price or
prices of specified commodities or stocks, indices, formulae or other assets or
bases of reference as may be specified in such Note and the applicable Final
Terms. A supplementary Prospectus or a separate Prospectus comprising the
Registration Document, relevant Securities Note and a summary document (as
the case may be) will be used for the documentation of an issuance of Indexed
Notes.
Extendible Notes:
Notes may be issued with an Initial Maturity Date which may be extended
from time to time upon the election of the holders on specified Election
Date(s).
Dual Currency Notes:
Notes may be issued under which the relevant Issuer is permitted under certain
circumstances to pay principal, premium, if any, and/or interest, in more than
one currency or composite currency. The terms of any Dual Currency Notes

2

will be as set forth in the applicable Final Terms related to any such Notes.
Amortizing Notes:
Amortizing Notes are Fixed Rate Notes for which payments combining
principal and interest are made in instalments over the life of the Note.
Payments with respect to Amortizing Notes will be applied first to interest due
and payable thereon and then to the reduction of the unpaid principal amount
thereof. The terms of any Amortizing Notes, including the Amortization
Schedule, will be as set forth in the applicable Final Terms related to any such
Notes.
Original Issue Discount Notes:
Notes may be issued at more than a de minimis discount from the principal
amount payable at maturity. Certain additional considerations relating to
Original Issue Discount Notes may be described in the applicable Final Terms
relating thereto.
Redemption:
The Final Terms relating to each Tranche of Notes will indicate either that the
Notes of that Series cannot be redeemed prior to its stated maturity, or that
such Notes will be redeemable for taxation reasons or at the option of the
relevant Issuer and/or the Noteholders upon giving not more than 60 nor less
than 30 days irrevocable notice to the Noteholders or the relevant Issuer, as the
case may be, on a date or dates specified prior to such stated maturity and at a
price or prices and on such other terms as are indicated in the applicable Final
Terms; provided however, that Notes denominated in currencies other than
U.S. Dollars may be subject to different restrictions on redemption as described
in "Description of the Notes--Special Provisions Relating to Foreign
Currency Notes--Minimum Denominations, Restrictions on Maturities,
Repayment and Redemption".
Denomination of Notes:
Notes issued by an Irish Issuer will be subject to a minimum denomination of
1,000 (or the equivalent in another Specified Currency). In respect of Notes
issued by an Issuer other than an Irish Issuer, such denominations as may be
agreed between the relevant Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s) and as indicated
in the applicable Final Terms, subject to such minimum denominations as may
be allowed or required from time to time by any relevant central bank (or
equivalent body) or any laws or regulations applicable to the relevant Specified
Currency.
Taxation:
All payments with respect to the Notes will be made without withholding or
deduction for or on account of any taxes or other charges imposed by any
governmental authority or agency in the jurisdiction of the relevant Issuer or, if
applicable, the Guarantor, except as provided in "Description of the Notes--
Payment of Additional Amounts".
Status of the Notes:
Each Note will be unsecured and will be either a senior or a subordinated debt
obligation of the relevant Issuer. Notes which are senior debt obligations will
rank equally in right of payment with all other unsecured and unsubordinated
obligations of the relevant Issuer. Notes which are subordinated debt
obligations will rank junior in right of payment to all senior indebtedness as
specified in the applicable Final Terms, which will set forth the precise terms
of such subordination.
Status of the Guarantee:
Guarantees may be issued on either a senior or subordinated basis. Guarantees
issued on a senior basis will rank equally in right of payment with all other
unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of GE Capital. Guarantees issued on
a subordinated basis will rank junior in right of payment to all senior
indebtedness of GE Capital as specified in the applicable Final Terms, which
will set forth the precise terms of such subordination.

Rating:
The Notes of each Tranche issued under the Programme may be rated or
unrated. Where the Notes of a Tranche are rated, such rating (i) will be set out
in the Final Terms and (ii) will not necessarily be the same as the rating(s)
assigned to the Programme. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy,
sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or

3

withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.
Listing and admission to trading:
Each Series of Notes may be admitted to the Official List and admitted to
trading on the London Stock Exchange's Gilt Edged and Fixed Interest Market
and/or listed or admitted to trading on or by such other or additional stock
exchange(s), competent authority(ies) and/or market(s) or may be unlisted, in
each case as specified in the applicable Final Terms.
Governing Law:
New York Law.
Selling Restrictions:
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act
and may not be offered or sold within the United States to, or for the account or
benefit of, U.S. persons except in accordance with Regulation S under the
Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act. In addition, Notes issued in bearer form are subject to
U.S. tax law requirements. For a description of certain restrictions on offers,
sales and deliveries of Notes in the United States, the European Economic
Area, Australia, Canada and certain other jurisdictions see "Description of the
Notes--Plan of Distribution".
Risk Factors:
There are certain factors that may affect the ability of the relevant Issuer and
the Guarantor to fulfill their respective obligations under Notes issued under the
Programme. Such factors include liquidity, credit and event risks. In addition,
there are certain factors which are material for the purpose of assessing the
market risks associated with the Notes issued under the Programme, including
the structure of a particular issue of Notes and risks related to the market
generally see "Risk Factors".
