Additional Information:

Recent Development.

On July 2, 2001, General Electric Capital Corporation changed its state of incorporation from New York to Delaware.

General.

At September 29, 2001, the Company had outstanding indebtedness totaling $205.043 billion, consisting of notes payable within one year, senior notes payable after one year and subordinated notes payable after one year. The total amount of outstanding indebtedness at September 29, 2001 excluding subordinated notes payable after one year was equal to $204.345 billion.

Consolidated Ratio of Earning to Fixed Charges.

The information contained in the Prospectus under the caption "Consolidated Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges" is hereby amended in its entirety, as follows:

		Year Ended December 31,			Nine Months Ended September 29, 2001
1996	1997	1998	1999	2000
1.53	1.48	1.50	1.60	1.52	1.69

For purposes of computing the consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of net earnings adjusted for the provision for income taxes, minority interest and fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest and discount on all indebtedness and one-third of rentals, which the Company believes is a reasonable approximation of the interest factor of such rentals.
