On
February 12, 2010, the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors of General Electric Company (the "Company") approved grants
of long-term performance awards to approximately 1,000 Company leaders,
including the Company's executive officers who are "named executive officers"
for purposes of the Company's proxy statement for the 2009 Annual Meeting of
Shareowners.  The five named executive officers who received these
grants are: Jeffrey R. Immelt, Michael A. Neal, John G. Rice, Keith S. Sherin
and Brackett B. Denniston.  The grants were made under the General
Electric Company 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan and
will only be payable if
the Company achieves for the three-year 2010 through 2012 period specified goals
based on four equally weighted business measurements.  These business
measurements are: (1) cumulative earnings per share, (2) cumulative industrial
cash flow from operating activities, (3) ending net investment of GE Capital,
and (4) 2012 industrial return on total capital.  The final amount
paid is based on achieving threshold, target or maximum levels for any of the
four measurements.  The awards are based on a multiple (i.e., .75x at
threshold, 1.50x at target and 2.00x at maximum) of the named executive's base
salary in effect in February 2013 and the discretionary bonus awarded in
February 2013 for the 2012 performance period, and will be subject to forfeiture
if the executive's employment terminates for any reason other than disability,
death, or retirement before December 31, 2012.  If the Company's Board
of Directors (the "Board") determines that an executive has engaged in conduct
detrimental to the Company that resulted in a material inaccuracy in the
Company's financial statements or performance metrics that affects the award,
the Board may take a range of actions to remedy the conduct, including seeking
reimbursement of any portion of the amount paid to the executive that is greater
than would have been paid if calculated based on the accurate financial
statements or performance metrics; provided that if the Board determines that
