Each Stock Option unit was acquired at a price of $34.47 pursuant to the terms
of the GE 2003 Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan. Each unit is equal in
value to one share of GE stock.

The RSUs convert on a 1 for 1 basis with the following vesting schedule: 50%
will vest on the 3rd anniversary of the grant; 50% on the 5th anniversary.

Forms 4 disclosing the grants described above were filed with the SEC on
September 20, 2005.

Effective September 16, 2005, Jeffrey R. Immelt, General Electric's Chairman of
the Board and Chief Executive Officer, was granted 250,000 performance share
units (PSUs). This is the only equity-based compensation awarded to Mr. Immelt
in 2005.

These PSUs have the same terms as the PSUs granted to Mr. Immelt in 2003 and
2004, except for the performance period. Half of these PSUs will convert into
shares of GE stock only if GE's cash flow from operating activities, adjusted to
exclude the effect of unusual events, has grown an average of 10% or more per
year over the five-year performance period from 2005 through 2009. Otherwise,
they will be cancelled. The remaining 125,000 PSUs will convert into shares of
GE stock only if GE's total shareowner return meets or exceeds that of the S&P
500 over the five-year performance period. Otherwise, they will be cancelled.
For this purpose, total shareowner return means the cumulative total return on
GE stock and the S&P 500 index, respectively, from December 31, 2004 to December
31, 2009, calculated in the same manner as the five-year performance graph
included in GE's proxy statement. During the performance period, Mr. Immelt will
receive quarterly payments on each PSU equal to GE's quarterly per share
dividends.

A report on a Form 8-K disclosing the grant discussed above was filed with the
SEC on September 20, 2005.
