Item 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

In a presentation at the Barclays Industrial Select Conference held February 21, 2018, GE Chief Financial Officer Jamie Miller, in a response to a question regarding BHGE and the scheme of GE’s divestment program, stated “at this point in time, we have no intent to change anything or execute prior to the expiration of any of the lockup periods.”

Subsequent to the filing of our Form 8-K with the SEC on January 24, 2018 announcing the results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2017, in the performance of our financial reporting control procedures, the Company identified an error relating to the calculation of the loss attributable to noncontrolling interest (NCI). The NCI calculation reflects the sharing of net income, taxes, and the impact of U.S. tax reform with our noncontrolling shareholders and, in this case, impacts only the BHGE financial statements. This resulted in an understatement of the net income attributable to BHGE of $59 million in the Form 8-K for the fourth quarter and full year of 2017. Net income attributable to BHGE for the fourth quarter of 2017, which was previously reported as a loss of $29 million (loss of $0.07 per share) in the Form 8-K, is $30 million (income of $0.07 per share). Net loss attributable to BHGE for the full year of 2017, which was previously reported as a loss of $132 million (loss of $0.31 per share) in the Form 8-K, is $73 million (loss of $0.17 per share). We have reflected this change within our consolidated and combined financial statements in this Form 10-K including updated quarterly data in Note 20 to the consolidated and combined financial statements in Item 8 herein.
