Certain United States Tax Considerations.
The following discussion supplements the discussion contained in the Issuer’s Prospectus Supplement dated November 21, 2014 under the heading “United States Tax Considerations.” Prospective purchasers of Notes are advised to consult their own tax advisors with respect to tax matters relating to the Notes.
Notes Used as Qualified Replacement Property.
Prospective investors seeking to treat the Notes as “qualified replacement property” for purposes of section 1042 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), should be aware that, in order for the Notes to constitute such qualified replacement property, the Notes themselves and the issuer must meet certain requirements. In general, qualified replacement property is a “security” issued by a domestic corporation that did not, for the taxable year preceding the taxable year in which such security was purchased, have “passive investment income” in excess of twenty-five percent of such corporation’s total gross receipts for such preceding taxable year (the “Passive Income Test”) and which meets the other relevant requirements of section 1042. The term “securities” is defined pursuant to section 1042 of the Code to include bonds, debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness of a corporation in registered form. The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has in some cases expressed the view that the definition of “security” in section 354 of the Code (which generally does not include short-term debt instruments) may also be relevant in applying section 1042. The Issuer does not express any conclusion on whether the Notes constitute “securities” for purposes of section 1042 of the Code and potential investors should consult their own tax advisors as to the appropriate characterization of the Notes as qualified replacement property for this purpose. In regards to the Passive Income Test, where the issuing corporation is in control of one or more corporations or such issuing corporation is controlled by one or more other corporations, all such corporations are treated as one corporation (the “Affiliated Group”) for purposes of computing the amount of passive investment income for purposes of section 1042. The Issuer believes that the Affiliated Group (which includes the General Electric Company and its controlled subsidiaries) did not, for the taxable year ending December 31, 2013, have passive investment income in excess of twenty-five percent of the Affiliated Group’s gross receipts for the year then ended. In making this determination, the Issuer has made certain assumptions and used procedures that it believes are reasonable. No assurance can be given as to whether the Issuer will continue to meet the Passive Income Test. In addition, it is possible that the IRS may disagree with the manner in which the Issuer has calculated the Affiliated Group’s gross receipts (including the characterization thereof) and passive investment income and the conclusions reached.
