•
GE Capital enabled GE industrial orders, including related GE guarantees to GE Capital, and
•
Aircraft engines, power equipment, renewable energy equipment and healthcare equipment manufactured by GE that are installed on GE Capital investments, including leased equipment.

In addition to the above transactions that primarily enable growth for the GE businesses, there are routine related party transactions, which include, but are not limited to, the following:

•
Expenses related to parent-subsidiary pension plans,
•
Buildings and equipment leased between GE and GE Capital, including sale-leaseback transactions,
