THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO PURCHASE OR A SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO SELL ANY SECURITIES

15 March 2004

ACQUISITION OF AMERSHAM PLC

CALCULATION OF FINAL STERLING GE PRICE

Recommended share exchange acquisition of Amersham plc (“Amersham”) by General Electric Company and GE Investments, Inc. (together “GE”) by means of a scheme of arrangement (the “Scheme”) under section 425 of the Companies Act 1985 (the “Acquisition”)

Following enquiries from certain investors, GE and Amersham confirm that the daily volume weighted average price of a GE Share on the NYSE to be used in calculating the Final Sterling GE Price will be as displayed on Bloomberg page “GE UN Equity AQR” (or any replacement service or other page as may replace such page) using prices representing all trading information for the relevant 24 hour period (Eastern Standard Time). The Final Sterling GE Price will be rounded to four decimal places.

The Final Sterling GE Price will be used to determine the number of New GE Shares to be delivered as consideration for each Amersham Share under the terms of the Scheme on the basis described in part 9 section 4 of the Scheme document.

Terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as set out in the Scheme document dated 17 February 2004.
