Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

On March 5, 2009, General Electric Capital Corporation (the “Company”), an indirect subsidiary of General Electric Company, distributed information to holders of certain series of its outstanding notes announcing an offer to purchase and consent solicitation with respect to those series.   On July 21, 2009, the Company announced that pursuant to its offer, it had received valid tenders and the requisite consents for amendments to the indenture governing its 8.300% Notes due September 20, 2009 (CUSIP/ISIN Number 369622CB9/US369622CB93) (the “Consented Series”).

Accordingly, on July 23, 2009, the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, executed an amendment to the indenture governing the Consented Series removing the negative covenant that limited the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to pledge property and assets to secure debt without equally and ratably securing notes of the Consented Series.
