LONDON -- July 30, 2012

GE, a worldwide partner of the Olympic Games, today announced it has exceeded
$1 billion in infrastructure sales over the past four Olympic Games. Since
2006, GE has worked closely with host countries, cities and organizing
committees to provide infrastructure solutions for Olympic Games venues,
health centers and surrounding commercial buildings. The technology provided
aims to support the organizing committees’ goals of building sustainable
Olympic Games that improve the host city and provide state-of-the-art
healthcare for Olympic athletes.

“GE partners closely with host cities to deliver a variety of critical
healthcare, energy, power, water, lighting and transportation solutions for
the Olympic Games,” said Jeff Immelt, chairman & CEO, GE. “Hosting the Games
is a transformational opportunity for every city and we are committed to work
with the IOC and local Organizing Committees in Russia, Brazil and Korea to
deliver advanced infrastructure solutions to help create a sustainable Olympic
legacy for future generations.”

GE Olympic Games projects in London include:

  * Polyclinic: Designed to provide quality care to athletes, the London 2012
    Olympic Village Polyclinic is equipped with GE imaging technology
    including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) – including the first wide-bore
    3T MRI deployed for use at the Games, Computerized Tomography (CT)
    scanner, ultrasound, digital X-ray, electrocardiogram (ECG), I.T. and
    monitoring systems to aid in early diagnosis and treatment of competing
    Olympic athletes.
  * Electric Vehicle Charging: 120 GE electric vehicle charging stations will
    support a fleet of zero-emission electric vehicles set to be used during
    the London 2012 Olympic Games and onward.
  * Olympic Stadium: GE Lighting has supplied 14,000 lamps for the 80,000 seat
    stadium and GE Energy’s Uninterruptible Power Supplies and large,
    containerized switch gear will support the ceremonies and track and field
    events. Along with the Stadium, GE’s temporary switchgear solution is
    being supplied to 17 other Olympic venues.
  * Olympic Village: During the Olympic and Paralympic Games, a total of
    23,000 athletes and officials will reside in the Olympic Village. GE
    Digital Energy is supplying smart meters to the residents with information
    about their energy use to help control energy consumption and lower the
    village’s carbon footprint. GE Power Controls are supplying some of the
    power distribution equipment to the residential apartments helping to
    power the Games. GE Water & Process Technologies are providing monitoring
    systems for storm run-off water at the Village.
  * London’s Tower Bridge: GE, in partnership with EDF, the Mayor of London,
    and the City of London Corporation, refitted London’s iconic Tower Bridge
    with a state-of-the-art energy-efficient LED lighting system. London will
    enjoy benefits from the deal long after the Games, as the new lighting
    system will be in place for 25 years.
  * Velodrome: The 6,000 capacity Velodrome will host cycling events. GE has
    provided low-voltage switchgear for power distribution within the stadium,
    as well as Uninterruptible Power Supplies to protect the power for use
    during competition.
  * Aquatics Centre: The Zaha Hadid designed Aquatics Centre will host a
    number of the most popular events during the Games. GE’s Uninterruptible
    Power Supplies are installed in the complex. The technology provides
    critical power protection for a number of applications.
  * Olympic Park: GE Lighting supplied 25,000 Tetra PowerMAX LED modules and
    the requisite number of Tetra LED Drivers to light the Olympic Park at
    night. Over 200 GE Healthcare AED defibrillators will be available on the
    Park and other venues to protect athletes and the public.
  * Energy Centre: The Energy Centre will provide power, heating and a cooling
    system across the Park for the Games and for the new buildings and
    communities that will develop after. GE Jenbacher co-generation technology
    (three J620 Jenbacher combined heat and power engines) will power the
    Games and the 10 MW project is a cornerstone of London 2012’s goals to
    increase the use of alternative energy, water conservation and recycling
    strategies.
  * Field Hockey Centre: GE Lighting is supplying the architectural lighting
    scheme for the Olympic Hockey Centre which will have a capacity of 15,000
    fans during the Games.

2006-2010 GE Olympic Games infrastructure projects included:

Torino, 2006 Olympic Winter Games

GE provided a wide range of products and technology to support the major
venues in Torino including:

  * Lighting for Torino Esposizioni, the Olympic hockey venue, the slalom
    skiing venue in Sestriere, and throughout the Stadio Comunale di Torino
  * 300 electronic reactors to reduce energy consumption by over 235,000KWh
    per year; Uninterruptible power supply for the city venues during the
    Games

Beijing, 2008 Olympic Summer Games

GE managed more than 400 infrastructure projects, touching all 37 official
Beijing Games competition venues and 168 commercial buildings in and around
Beijing including:

  * Filtration technology for safe drinking water and rainwater recycling at
    the National Stadium (“Bird’s Nest”)
  * 73 electrical substations to provide power at more than 50 Olympic Games
    venues
  * 120 wind turbines to the Zhangbei and Shangyi wind farms north of Beijing,
    which supply energy to the Olympic Central Area

Vancouver, 2010 Olympic Winter Games

GE managed more than 120 infrastructure and healthcare technology projects in
Vancouver including:

  * Two high-tech Polyclinics (Vancouver and Whistler) that offered
    comprehensive healthcare for all Olympic and Paralympic athletes and
    officials during the Games
  * A 64-slice CT Scanner for Whistler Health Centre, a first for the region
    that remained in place after the Games; digital imaging technology at
    competition venues to assist in more accurate return-to-play decisions by
    doctors and trainers
  * Delivering more efficient transportation for CP Rail, the Official Freight
    Provider for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games, with GE Evolution
    Locomotive Engines which reduce emissions by 40% and reduce fuel use by 5%
    compared to previous locomotive engines.

GE & Future Olympic Games

GE is currently working with the organizing committees for the Sochi 2014
Winter Olympic Games and Rio 2016 Summer Olympic Games to provide technologies
for the infrastructure build for the Games.

For example, to help power the Games in Sochi, GE is providing advanced
technology gas turbines. The two LMS100 PB aeroderivative units, featuring
GE’s latest emissions technology will provide both base load and peak load
power for the Olympics. A key benefit of the new technology is that the units
can start up in less than 10 minutes, about the time it takes to brew a pot of
coffee. The project underscores a strong global demand for flexible,
cost-effective and efficient electricity generation.
