The initial interest rate applicable to the Notes and all subsequent changes to the initial interest rate will be disclosed in pricing supplements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

An investment in the Notes involves risks. See “Risk Factors” on Page 1 of the accompanying prospectus. In addition, you should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any applicable pricing supplement.

Prospectus Supplement dated November [l], 2008.

 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 

 

You should rely only on the information provided in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any applicable pricing supplement or incorporated by reference. We have authorized no one to provide you with different information. We are not making an offer of these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted. You should not assume that the information in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or any applicable pricing supplement is accurate as of any date other than their respective dates.

 

References in this prospectus supplement to “GE Capital”, “we”, “us” and “our” are to General Electric Capital Corporation.

 

General Electric Capital Corporation (GE Capital or GECC) was incorporated in 1943 in the State of New York under the provisions of the New York Banking Law relating to investment companies, as successor to General Electric Contracts Corporation, which was formed in 1932. Until November 1987, our name was General Electric Credit Corporation. On July 2, 2001, we changed our state of incorporation to Delaware. All of our outstanding common stock is owned by General Electric Capital Services, Inc. (GE Capital Services or GECS), formerly General Electric Financial Services, Inc., the common stock of which is in turn wholly-owned by General Electric Company (GE Company or GE). Financing and services offered by GE Capital are diversified, a significant change from the original business of GE Capital, which was, financing distribution and sale of consumer and other GE products. Currently, GE manufactures few of the products financed by GE Capital.

 

We operate in five segments described below. These operations are subject to a variety of regulations in their respective jurisdictions. Our services are offered primarily in North America, Europe and Asia.

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 3135 Easton Turnpike, Fairfield, CT, 06828-0001. At December 31, 2007, our employment totaled approximately 80,500.

 

Operating Segments

 

GE, the ultimate parent company of GE Capital, reorganized its businesses effective July 25, 2008 into five operating segments. GE believes that this new organizational structure simplifies the company and aligns businesses for growth and efficiency. As of July 25, 2008, the five operating segments are as follows:

 

 

 

As a result of our ultimate parent’s reorganization, our chief executive officer also reorganized GECC businesses into five operating segments based upon how our management allocates resources and assesses performance as follows:

 

 

During the fourth quarter of 2007, we transferred the Equipment Services business from our previous GE Industrial Products segment to the CLL segment, where a portion of the business is reported in Capital Solutions.

 

Indebtedness

 

At September 30, 2008, the Company had outstanding indebtedness totaling $531.747 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 30, 2008, excluding subordinated notes payable after one year, was equal to $521.192 billion.

 

Consolidated Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges

 

 

For purposes of computing the consolidated ratios of earnings to fixed charges and earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends, earnings consist of net earnings adjusted for the provision for income taxes, minority interest, interest capitalized (net of amortization) and fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest on all indebtedness and one-third of rentals, which we believe is a reasonable approximation of the interest factor of such rentals.

 

Interest

 

The Notes will have no stated maturity and will earn interest at floating rates, to be determined by the GE Interest Plus Committee. The rate of interest on the Notes will always be greater than the most recent seven-day average yield (non-compounded) for taxable money market funds in the United States as published in Money Fund Report^tm*, a service of iMoneyNet, Inc. (formerly IBC Financial Data, Inc.). The Notes are not a money market fund, in which investors purchase an equity interest in a diversified fund consisting of investments in short term debt securities of many companies. Rates may vary by an investor’s principal amount of Notes or other factors as determined by the GE Interest Plus Committee. Interest on the Notes will accrue daily. The rate of interest paid for any period on the Notes is not an indication or representation of future rates. Accrued interest will be credited and automatically reinvested in additional Notes monthly and will begin to accrue interest on the first day following the date of such reinvestment. If in any week the Money Fund Report^tm is not available or publication of such seven-day average yield is suspended, the seven-day average yield at such time shall be an approximately equivalent rate determined by the GE Interest Plus Committee.

 

 

Fees

 

There are no maintenance fees or charges for check redemptions, no sales loads, and no charges for investing or for ongoing management. There are fees for GE Interest Plus checks returned for insufficient funds, investment checks drawing funds from a bank account returned for insufficient funds, wire redemptions, stop payment requests, checks written for less than the $250 minimum requirement, and other unusual services, which will be directly debited from the aggregate principal amount of your Notes.

 

Investor Statements

 

You will receive regular statements (via mail or electronically) showing a summary of all of your transactions in the Notes, interest earned, the principal amount of Notes held by you at the open and close of the period, and other important information. Redemption checks on which payment has been made will not be returned to you, but the check number, date of payment and the amount of each check will be indicated on your statement. However, if you have established on-line access, you may view redemption check images on-line at the GE Interest Plus website.

 

Initial Investment Incentives

 

We may from time to time offer marketing incentives to certain investors making an initial investment in the Notes, depending on the amount of the initial investment and/or enrollment in an automatic investment option or certain payroll deduction programs. These incentives have in the

past, and may in the future, include offers to issue to initial investors an additional principal amount of Notes. Whether these or other incentives will be available at any time will be determined by the GE Interest Plus Committee in its sole discretion and will be disclosed in pricing supplements filed with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

Agent Bank and Servicing Agent

 

We have engaged Open Solutions, Inc. to perform recordkeeping, investor servicing and other services in connection with the Notes. We refer to Open Solutions, Inc. as the “Servicing Agent” in this prospectus supplement. We have also engaged The Huntington National Bank to process funds receipts and disbursements and related services. We refer to Huntington National Bank as the “Agent Bank” in this prospectus supplement. For these services, we pay the Agent Bank and the Servicing Agent an administrative fee.

 

How to Invest

 

To invest in the Notes, complete an application and enclose a check for your initial investment (or, if applicable, a GE payroll deduction form). Cash, money orders, traveler’s checks, starter checks, cashier’s checks, credit card checks, foreign checks and third party checks are not acceptable. Currently, the minimum initial investment is $500, or $250 if you enroll in the “Auto Invest” service. If the principal amount of your Notes falls below these minimum investment levels, we reserve the right to redeem your Notes and return the proceeds to you, or deduct a monthly maintenance fee from the principal amount of your Notes.

 

After your initial investment in the Notes, you may invest in additional Notes at any time, without charge, by any of the following methods:

 

BY QUICK INVEST.  If you indicated on your application that you wish to participate in the “Quick Invest” service, you may instruct the Servicing Agent by telephone at any time during regular business hours to withdraw any amount of funds (minimum $25) from your pre-designated bank account and invest the funds in additional Notes through an electronic automated clearinghouse (ACH) transfer. To set up “Quick Invest,” you must have provided us with a voided blank check to verify your checking account. Your investment will be made and interest will begin to accrue on the same day your money is transferred. Investments made by ACH cannot be redeemed until the later of (1) three business days after the electronic transfer is first completed or (2) when the electronic transfer clears.

 

BY AUTO INVEST (automatic monthly investment from a bank account).  You may withdraw a fixed amount from your checking account on a monthly basis through an ACH transfer (minimum $25) and use the funds to invest in additional Notes. To set up “Auto Invest,” you must provide us with a voided blank check to verify your checking account. Your investment will be made and interest will begin to accrue on the same day your money is transferred. Investments made by ACH cannot be redeemed until the later of (1) three business days after the electronic transfer is completed or (2) when the electronic transfer clears.

BY CHECK MAILED TO AGENT BANK.  Mail your investment to: GE Interest Plus, P.O. Box 6293, Indianapolis, Indiana 46206-6293. Your investment will be made and interest will begin to accrue on the first business day that the Agent Bank’s processing unit receives your check provided that the check is received prior to 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Investments made by check cannot be redeemed until the later of (1) twelve business days after the check is first invested in the Notes or (2) when the check clears.

 

BY WIRE TRANSFER.  Wire funds to GE Interest Plus, The Huntington National Bank, Indianapolis, IN, ABA No. 274070442. Include your name and account number in the wire instruction. Wires may only be originated from a bank located in the U.S. and must be payable in U.S. dollars. Your investment will be made and you will begin earning interest on the same business day the wire is received provided that the funds have been received by 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Investments made by wire transfer can be redeemed one business day after the date of credit.

 

BY DIRECT INVESTMENT OF YOUR PAYROLL, PENSION OR SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK.  You may instruct your employer or the Social Security Administration, as appropriate, to invest your entire payroll, pension or social security check directly in the Notes. Your investment will begin to accrue interest on the day it is transferred for investment in the Notes. Investments made in this manner can be redeemed one business day after the date of credit.

 

BY PAYROLL DEDUCTION.  General Electric Company, its subsidiaries, and certain other companies allow employees to have a fixed amount deducted from each paycheck (minimum $25) and invested in the Notes. (GE employees who invest in the Notes and elect payroll deduction do not need to make any initial investment). Your investment will begin to accrue interest on the business day it is transferred for investment in the Notes. Investments made by payroll deduction can be redeemed one business day after the date of credit.

 

All investments must be made in U.S. dollars drawn on a U.S. bank located in the U.S. You may change or terminate your investments by payroll deduction or other automatic investment at any time.

 

For purposes of investments in the Notes, a “business day” is a day on which both the Agent Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago are fully open for business.

 

How To Redeem

 

You may redeem any part of your Notes at any time as described below. Interest on redeemed investments will accrue to, but not including, the date of redemption. You may redeem all of your Notes only by use of the written redemption option described below. Checks will be mailed to you automatically shortly after you make an initial investment in the Notes.

 

QUICK REDEMPTION.  If you indicated on your application, or by subsequent written request, that you wish to participate in the “Quick Redemption” service, you may instruct the Servicing Agent, through the automated telephone line or through our Account Access website, to redeem your GE Interest Plus notes (minimum of $25, maximum of $50,000) and have the proceeds transferred to your pre-designated bank checking account through an electronic automated clearinghouse (ACH)

transfer. To use this option you must have provided us with a voided blank check to verify your checking account. After you enter your Quick Redemption transaction into our automated phone system or Account Access website, you will be provided with the date that the redemption proceeds will be transferred. Interest will accrue on your Notes to, but not including, the business day on which the redemption proceeds are transferred.

 

REDEMPTION BY CHECK.  You may make redemption checks payable to anyone in the amount of $250 or more. If the amount of the redemption check is less than $250, the check will be honored, but a fee of $10 will be debited from the principal amount of your Notes by the Agent Bank. If the amount of the redemption check is greater than the principal amount of your Notes, the check will not be honored and we will deduct from the principal amount of your Notes a returned check fee, in an amount periodically determined by the GE Interest Plus Committee (currently $20). Generally, your redemption will be made on the day the Agent Bank’s processing unit receives your redemption check for payment. Even if your Notes are held jointly with someone else, only one signature will be required on a redemption check unless you have otherwise specified. The check redemption feature does not create a deposit or a banking relationship with the Agent Bank, GE Capital or General Electric Company.

 

WRITTEN REDEMPTION.  You may redeem any part of or all of your Notes by written request, including the signatures of all registered owners (including joint owners) of the Notes. A check, payable to the registered owners, for the requested amount (or in an amount equal to the principal amount of your Notes if you are redeeming all of your Notes) will be mailed to the registered noteholder’s address.

 

WIRE REDEMPTION.  You can redeem any part of your Notes, subject to a $2,500 minimum, by wire transfer if you have pre-authorized the wire redemption option. Wire redemption proceeds can only be wired to the U.S. bank account you have designated on your application. To change this designation, a written request signed by all registered owners of the Notes, with all signatures guaranteed by a financial institution that is a member of the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program 2000 (“STAMP 2000”), for example, a brokerage firm, commercial bank or other financial institution, must be submitted to the Agent Bank. Funds will be wired on the same business day as the receipt of your wire redemption request, provided that your request is received by the Agent Bank by 12:00 noon Eastern Time. Wire redemption requests received after 12:00 noon Eastern Time on any business day will be processed on the next business day. If your designated bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve system, there may be a delay in wiring funds. Each wire transfer will incur a processing charge of $15 from the Agent Bank, and may also incur an additional charge from your bank or financial institution. The Agent Bank’s records of the wire instructions are binding.

 

Optional Redemption by GE Capital

 

We may redeem, at any time at our option, all or any part of the Notes. Any partial redemption of Notes will be effected by lot, or pro rata, or by any other method that is deemed fair and appropriate by the trustee for the Notes, except that we may redeem all of the Notes not meeting guidelines established from time to time by the GE Interest Plus Committee. We will give at least 30 days prior

written notice to you if we decide to redeem your Notes. The Notes (or portion thereof) being so redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption, will be paid by check to the registered holder of the Notes, less any tax withholding, if applicable. Interest on the redeemed amount shall cease to accrue on and after the effective date of redemption.

 

The Notes are offered in the United States only, on a continuing basis through GE Capital Markets, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of GE Capital, acting as agent. No commissions will be paid to such agent for any sales of the Notes. We will pay the agent’s expenses incurred in connection with the offering of the Notes. GE Capital Markets, Inc. may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). We have agreed to indemnify the agent against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments that they may be required to make in connection with such indemnification. We also may from time to time designate other agents through whom Notes may be offered.

 

The Notes are being offered only to persons whose registered addresses are in the United States. If at any time your registered address is outside of the United States, we may redeem all of your Notes. See above “The GE Interest Plus Notes — Optional Redemption By GE Capital.” We reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify the offer to sell Notes at any time. We have the sole right to accept offers to purchase Notes and may reject any proposed purchase of Notes in whole or in part.

THE COMPANY

 

General Electric Capital Corporation was incorporated in 1943 in the State of New York under the provisions of the New York Banking Law relating to investment companies, as successor to General Electric Contracts Corporation, which was formed in 1932. Until November 1987, our name was General Electric Credit Corporation. On July 2, 2001, we changed our state of incorporation to Delaware. All of our outstanding common stock is owned by General Electric Capital Services, Inc., formerly General Electric Financial Services, Inc., the common stock of which is in turn wholly owned directly or indirectly by General Electric Company (“GE Company”). Financing and services offered by us are diversified, a significant change from the original business of GE Capital, which was financing distribution and sale of consumer and other GE Company products. Currently, GE Company manufactures few of the products financed by us.

We operate in four of GE Company’s operating segments: GE Commercial Finance, GE Consumer Finance, GE Industrial and GE Infrastructure. These operations are subject to a variety of regulations in their respective jurisdictions.

 

Our services are offered primarily within North America, Europe and Asia. GE Capital’s principal executive offices are at 260 Long Ridge Road, Stamford, Connecticut 06927-1600 (telephone number (203) 357-4000). At December 31, 2005, our employment totaled approximately 77,500.

 

Consolidated Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges

 

 

Consolidated Ratio of Earnings to Combined Fixed Charges and Preferred Stock Dividends

 

 

For purposes of computing the consolidated ratios of earnings to fixed charges and earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends, earnings consist of net earnings adjusted for the provision for income taxes, minority interest, interest capitalized (net of amortization) and fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest on all indebtedness and one-third of rentals, which we believe is a reasonable approximation of the interest factor of such rentals.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be added to the general funds of GE Capital and will be available for financing our operations.

 

CERTAIN TERMS OF THE NOTES

 

Indenture

 

The Notes are issued under an Amended and Restated Indenture dated as of January 25, 2001, between GE Capital and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The statements under this heading are subject to the detailed provisions of the Indenture, a copy of which is an exhibit to the Registration Statements filed with the SEC covering the offering of Notes. Wherever particular provisions of the Indenture or terms defined therein are referred to, such provisions or definitions are incorporated by reference as a part of the statements made and the statements are qualified in their entirety by such reference.

Agent Bank and Servicing Agent

 

We have engaged Union Federal Bank of Indianapolis to process funds receipts and disbursements and related services. We refer to Union Federal Bank of Indianapolis as the “Agent Bank” in this prospectus. We have also engaged Open Solutions, Inc. to perform recordkeeping, investor servicing and other services in connection with the Notes. We refer to Open Solutions, Inc. as the “Servicing Agent” in this prospectus. For these services, we pay the Agent Bank and the Servicing Agent an administrative fee.

 

General

 

The Notes are issuable in any amount and will mature on demand by you. GE Interest Plus and GE Interest Plus For Businesses constitute the same series of debt securities for all purposes of the Indenture. The Notes are unsecured and rank equally and ratably with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of GE Capital. GE Capital has outstanding approximately $343 billion in senior, unsecured debt obligations as of March 31, 2006, that rank equally with the Notes. GE Capital has not issued any secured debt or securities that have priority over the Notes. Neither the Indenture, nor any other instrument to which GE Capital is a party, limits the principal amount of the Notes or any other indebtedness of GE Capital that may be issued. The Notes will not be subject to any sinking fund. The Notes will be issued in uncertificated form and you will not receive any certificate or other instrument evidencing the Notes other than the confirmation of your initial investment and periodic statements sent to you. All funds invested in Notes, together with interest accrued thereon, and redemptions, if any, will be recorded on a register maintained by the Servicing Agent.

 

Modification of the Indenture

 

The Indenture permits us and the trustee for the Notes, with the consent of the holders of not less than 662/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding:

 

 

However, the Indenture provides that, unless each holder agrees, we cannot:

 

Events of Default

 

An event of default with respect to the Notes is defined in the Indenture as being:

 

 

Each year, the Indenture requires us to file with the trustee for the Notes a written statement as to the presence or absence of certain defaults under the Indenture. The trustee for the Notes shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of a default in respect of the Notes, give to the holders thereof notice of all uncured and unwaived defaults known to it (the term default to mean the events specified above without grace periods). The trustee for the Notes shall be protected in withholding such notice if it in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the holders of the Notes except in the case of default in the payment of principal or interest on any of the Notes. The Indenture provides that during the continuance of an event of default, either the trustee for the Notes or the holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal of all such Notes to be due and payable immediately. However, under certain conditions such declaration may be annulled by the holders of a majority in principal amount of such Notes then outstanding. The holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes then outstanding may also waive on behalf of all holders past defaults with respect to the Notes except, unless previously cured, a default in payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes.

 

Concerning the Trustee

 

The trustee for the Notes acts as trustee under several other indentures with GE Capital, pursuant to which a number of series of senior, unsecured notes of GE Capital are presently outstanding.

 

Termination, Suspension or Modification

 

We expect that you will be able to invest in the Notes indefinitely, but we reserve the right at any time to suspend or terminate the Notes offering entirely, or from time to time to modify the procedures for investing in or redeeming the Notes in part. We also reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate particular investment options and redemption methods. Written notice of any material modification, suspension or termination will be provided to you at least fifteen calendar days prior to the effective date.

GE Interest Plus Committee

 

The GE Interest Plus Committee consists of officers of GE Capital designated by our Board of Directors. The Committee has the full power and authority to amend procedures and options for investing in and redeeming the Notes as described above under “Termination, Suspension, or Modification.” The Committee may also interpret applicable provisions, adopt rules and regulations and make certain determinations regarding the Notes. The members of the Committee are our Senior Vice President, Corporate Treasury and Global Funding Operation and two of our Vice Presidents and Assistant Treasurers. Alternate members of the Committee may also serve from time to time. Members of the Committee receive no additional compensation for Committee services.

 

Taxes

 

Payments of interest on the Notes will be taxable in the year in which such interest is accrued or received (in accordance with the holder’s method of tax accounting), regardless of whether such interest is reinvested. No part of such interest is excludible from taxable income. Backup withholding and information reporting requirements may apply to certain non-corporate U.S. holders. The interest income also may be subject to taxation by some state and local governments. Holders of Notes that are not corporations will receive a statement from the Servicing Agent each year that states the full amount reported to the Internal Revenue Service as taxable income.

 

The U.S. Federal income tax discussion set forth above is included for general information only and may not be applicable depending upon a holder’s particular situation. Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences to them of the ownership and disposition of the Notes, including the tax consequences under state, local, foreign and other tax laws and the possible effects of changes in federal or other tax laws.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The Notes are offered in the United States only, on a continuing basis through GE Capital Markets, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of GE Capital, acting as agent. No commissions will be paid to such agent for any sales of the Notes. We will pay the agent’s expenses incurred in connection with the offering of the Notes. GE Capital Markets, Inc. may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

We also may from time to time designate other agents through whom Notes may be offered.

If at any time your registered address is outside of the United States, we may redeem all of your Notes. We reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify the offer to sell Notes at any time.
