Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On September 16, 2019, General Electric Company (the "Company" or "GE") completed sales of a portion of its interest in Baker Hughes, a GE company ("BHGE"), which represents our Oil & Gas segment, for a total of approximately $3.0 billion in net cash proceeds to GE. The sale transactions (described below) reduced GE's ownership interest in BHGE from 50.2% to 36.8%, resulting in GE no longer controlling BHGE.
The sale transactions included the sale of 132,250,000 shares of Class A common stock of BHGE in an underwritten secondary public offering by GE and certain of its affiliates at a public offering price of $21.50 per share. The shares offered included 17,250,000 shares sold pursuant to the underwriters' exercise in full of their option to purchase additional shares.
In addition, GE completed the sale to BHGE, in a privately negotiated transaction, of 11,865,211 shares of Class B common stock of BHGE, together with an equal number of associated membership interests of Baker Hughes, a GE company, LLC, for $250 million.
As a consequence of GE no longer controlling BHGE, our Oil & Gas segment's historical results will be reported in GE's consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations beginning in the third quarter of 2019. GE has elected to prospectively measure its remaining investment in BHGE at fair value. This investment and the related earnings impact from subsequent changes in fair value will be recognized in continuing operations.
The unaudited pro forma financial information giving effect to the BHGE sale transactions is filed herewith as Exhibit 99. The relationship between GE and BHGE is governed by the existing agreements between the parties as described elsewhere in the parties' respective public filings.
