Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
-------------------------------------------------
On February 13, 2007, SES, a societe anonyme organized and existing
under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, entered into a Share Redemption
Agreement (the "SRA") with GECFE, GECH and GECC. The SRA provides for a
transaction (the "Exchange Transaction") in which SES will contribute certain
assets (the "Transferred Assets") and cash to a newly formed subsidiary, SES
International Holdings, Inc. ("SIH"), and, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the SRA, SES will redeem the GE parties' holding of
103,149,900 shares in SES (the "SES Shares") for consideration in kind
consisting of all the outstanding shares of SIH. On March 29, 2007, the parties
to the SRA entered into a Letter Agreement (the "SRA Amendment") pursuant to
which the SRA was amended. This item is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the SRA and the SRA Amendment, which are filed as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3
hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
On March 29, 2007, the parties to the SRA completed the Exchange
Transaction, including the indirect transfer to the GE Entities of SES's
indirect ownership of 133,107,975 Y Ordinary Shares (the "Bowenvale Shares") of
Bowenvale Limited, a British Virgin Islands company ("Bowenvale"). The Bowenvale
Shares represent 50% of the total outstanding voting shares of Bowenvale and
49.5% of the total equity interest in Bowenvale. The sole asset of Bowenvale is
------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------
CUSIP No. 763991-02-3 13D Page 15 of 40 Pages
------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------
268,905,000 shares of the Common Stock. Upon the completion of the Exchange
Transaction, SIH changed its name to GE International Holdings Inc.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
----------------------
The responses of the Reporting Persons under Items 3 and 6 hereof
are incorporated herein by reference.
The Reporting Persons acquired their shares of the Common Stock upon
the completion of the Exchange Transaction on March 29, 2007, as a result of
which, among other things, the GE Entities acquired SES's 49.5% economic
interest and 50% voting interest in Bowenvale, which in turn currently owns
268,905,000 shares of the Common Stock or approximately 68.9% of the issued and
outstanding Common Stock. CITIC Group, an enterprise established and existing
under the laws of the People's Republic of China ("CITIC Group"), through its
wholly owned subsidiary Able Star Associates Limited ("Able Star"), owns the
remaining 50% voting interest in Bowenvale and 50.5% equity interest in
Bowenvale.
The Issuer and Asiaco Acquisition Ltd. (the "Offeror"), a company
jointly owned by Able Star and GE Capital Equity Investments, Inc. ("GE
Equity"), announced the proposed privatization of the Issuer through a scheme of
arrangement under Section 99 of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, as amended
(the "Scheme"), to cancel all of the shares not already held by Bowenvale in
exchange for HK$18.30 per share, resulting in a reduction of the issued share
capital of the Issuer, and to issue new shares to the Offeror (the "Share
Proposal"). Concurrently with the implementation of the Share Proposal, the
Offeror has proposed to acquire outstanding options to purchase the Issuer's
shares (the "Option Proposal" and, together with the Share Proposal, the
"Proposals"). The description of the proposed privatization, the Proposals, the
conditions thereto and related matters is set out in the Scheme Document, which
is filed as Exhibit 99.4 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
If the Scheme becomes effective, as soon as practicable thereafter,
CITIC Group and GECC intend to cause the Issuer to apply to the Stock Exchange
of Hong Kong Limited (the "SEHK") for the withdrawal of the listing of the
Issuer's shares on the SEHK and to apply for the de-listing of the American
Depositary Shares ("ADSs") from the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). In
addition, provided the relevant conditions are satisfied, CITIC Group and GECC
intend to file a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to request
that the Issuer's reporting obligations under the Act, as amended, be terminated
or suspended. CITIC Group and GECC also intend to seek to cause the Issuer to
terminate the Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement, dated as of 28 September
2001, among the Issuer, the Bank of New York and holders of ADSs.
It is the intention of CITIC Group and GECC to maintain the existing
businesses of the Issuer upon successful privatization of the Issuer. CITIC
Group and GECC do not intend to introduce any major changes to the existing
operating and management structure of the Issuer, or to discontinue the
employment of any employees of the Issuer. CITIC Group and GECC also expect that
there will be no material change to the existing business (such as business
focus and operating model) of the Issuer as a result of the completion of the
Proposals.

CITIC Group and GECC intend to retain the Issuer's existing senior
management team to manage the Issuer after completion of the Scheme, except that
the SES appointees to the Issuer's Board of Directors, namely Mr. Roman Bausch,
Ms. Cynthia Dickins and Mr. Mark Rigolle have resigned as directors upon
completion of the Exchange Transaction, and the Reporting Persons have appointed
four directors to the Issuer's Board of Directors. The four directors appointed
by the Reporting Persons are Mr. Ronald J. Herman, Jr., Ms. Nancy Ku and Mr.
Mark Chen, each of whom is a GECH appointed director of the Offeror, and Mr.
John Connelly. These changes to the Issuer's Board of Directors are not
dependent on whether or not the Proposals are completed. CITIC Group and GECC
have agreed that, with effect from the completion of the Exchange Transaction,
the chairman of the Issuer is Mr. Mi Zeng Xin and the deputy chairman is Mr.
Ronald J. Herman, Jr., both of whom will hold office until December 2008. No
determination has yet been made as to whether, and if so, how, the composition
of the Issuer's Board of Directors may be changed upon completion of the
Proposals.
CITIC Group, Able Star, Bowenvale, GE and the GE Entities executed a
Shareholders' Agreement, dated March 29, 2007, in respect of Bowenvale (the
"Bowenvale Shareholders' Agreement"), which contains a provision prohibiting
CITIC Group or the GE Entities from transferring any Bowenvale shares for a
period of three years. After the successful privatization of the Issuer, CITIG
Group and the GE Entities may consider entering into a simpler shareholders'
agreement in respect of Bowenvale to reflect the Issuer's status as a private
company, as opposed to a publicly listed company, and CITIC Group and GECC
contemplate that they will assess whether to revise the Issuer's By-Laws to
reflect its change from a public to a private company. This item is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the Bowenvale Shareholders' Agreement, which is
filed as Exhibit 99.5 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
------------------------------------
(a) The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (11) through
(13) of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by
reference. The GE Entities hold a 49.5% equity interest and 50% voting interest
in Bowenvale, which currently owns 268,905,000 shares of the Common Stock,
representing approximately 68.9% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock.
The Reporting Persons hereby disclaim beneficial ownership of
135,797,025 of the Common Stock that are held by Bowenvale, as being
attributable to Able Star's beneficial ownership interest in Bowenvale.
(b) The responses of the Reporting Persons to (i) Rows (7) through
(10) of the cover pages of this statement on Schedule 13D and (ii) Item 5(a)
hereof are incorporated herein by reference.
(c) Other than the acquisition of a 49.5% equity interest and 50%
voting interest in Bowenvale, which currently owns 268,905,000 shares of Common
Stock, upon the closing of the Exchange Transaction, no Reporting Person has
effected any other transaction in the Common Stock during the past 60 days. To
the Reporting Persons' knowledge, none of their respective directors or officers
has effected any transactions in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect

to Securities of the Issuer.
-------------------------
The responses of the Reporting Persons under Items 3 and 4 hereof
are incorporated herein by reference.
On February 13, 2007, GECC, CITIC Group, Able Star, SES, SES Global
Holding AG and Bowenvale entered into a consent letter (the "Consent Letter")
pursuant to which, among other things, (i) CITIC Group consented to the transfer
of the Bowenvale Shares by SES to a newly incorporated company, subject to the
completion of the Exchange Transaction and (ii) CITIC Group and GECC agreed,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Consent Letter, to a
potential joint privatization of the Issuer to be implemented by way of a
general offer or a scheme of arrangement, to be announced at or around the same
time as the Exchange Transaction was announced. A copy of the Consent Letter is
attached hereto as Exhibit 99.6.
On February 13, 2007, CITIC Group, Able Star, GECC and GE Equity
entered into a Co-operation Agreement (the "Co-operation Agreement") pursuant to
which the parties agreed, among other things, on (i) how the conduct of the
proposed privatization of the Issuer would be regulated, including but not
limited to using reasonable endeavors to take all steps necessary or desirable
in connection with the implementation of and obtaining all necessary clearances
for the privatization and agreeing to discuss significant matters in respect of
the privatization in good faith, (ii) using reasonable endeavors to amalgamate
the Common Stock held by the Offeror and Bowenvale after the successful
privatization in a manner to be discussed in good faith, (iii) the sharing of
expenses in respect of the privatization, and (iv) the basis upon which the
parties will enter into a new shareholders' agreement in respect of Bowenvale. A
copy of the Co-operation Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.7.
On February 13, 2007, CITIC Group, GE Equity, the Offeror, Able Star
and GE entered into a Shareholders' Agreement (the "Offeror Shareholders'
Agreement") regulating the parties' respective rights and obligations (whether
direct or indirect) in respect of the Offeror and, upon completion of the
Scheme, the Common Stock acquired by the Offeror as a result of the
Privatization. The key provisions of the Offeror Shareholders' Agreement reflect
those of the Bowenvale Shareholders' Agreement, and will become effective only
upon the Offeror acquiring all of the issued and outstanding Common Stock not
already owned by Bowenvale ("Completion") and include, among other things, (i)
an agreement to transfer the Offerer's interest in the Issuer to Bowenvale as
soon as reasonably practicable after Completion, (ii) the reorganization of the
capital structure of the Offeror, (iii) provisions governing the composition of
the Board of Directors of the Offeror, (iv) provisions governing the
representation of the Offeror's directors on the Board of Directors of the
Issuer, (v) rules governing the operation of meetings of the Offeror's board of
directors and shareholders, (vi) the exercise of voting rights in the Offeror,
and (vii) restrictions on disposals of shares in the Offeror for a period of
three years subject to certain exceptions. A copy of the Offeror Shareholders'
Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.8.
------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------
CUSIP No. 763991-02-3 13D Page 18 of 40 Pages
------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------
Pursuant to the Bowenvale Shareholders' Agreement, the GE Entities
and Able Star are entitled to instruct Bowenvale in the voting of the shares of
the Common Stock held by Bowenvale. If the instructions of Able Star and the GE
Entities are the same, Bowenvale will vote all of its shares of the Common Stock
according to their common instruction. If their instructions are different, the
Bowenvale Shareholders' Agreement provides for deadlock resolution mechanisms
which, if unsuccessful, would allow either CITIC Group or GE to terminate the
Bowenvale Shareholders' Agreement. Following a termination of the Bowenvale
Shareholders' Agreement, the parties must cause the transfer or distribution of
each shareholder's attributable share of the Common Stock held by Bowenvale.
Until such transfer or distribution, Bowenvale must vote according to each
shareholder's instructions the Common Stock held by Bowenvale attributable to
such shareholder. Notwithstanding such arrangements, certain material corporate
events may not occur unless each of the GE Entities and Able Star consents, and
each of them agrees to vote, or cause Bowenvale to vote, its shares of the
Common Stock accordingly.
Pursuant to the Bowenvale Shareholders' Agreement, the rights of
each of the GE Entities and Able Star to dispose of their Bowenvale shares, and
to require Bowenvale to dispose of their attributable shares of the Common
Stock, are subject to certain consent rights held by the other party. After the
third anniversary of the date of the completion of the Exchange Transaction,
each of the GE Entities and Able Star will be entitled to dispose of all or any
part of their holding of Bowenvale shares subject to the prior written consent
of the other party to the Bowenvale Shareholders' Agreement, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld.
Each of the GE Entities and Able Star have, under the Bowenvale
Shareholders' Agreement, the right to receive and the power to direct the
receipt of dividends received by Bowenvale in respect of, or the proceeds from
the sale by Bowenvale of, the Common Stock held by Bowenvale that are
attributable to the GE Entities and Able Star, as the case may be. Bowenvale may
not dispose of any of its shares of the Common Stocks or enter into any
agreement in respect of the votes attached to the Common Stock, except that
after the completion of the Exchange Transaction, each of the GE Entities or
Able Star may direct Bowenvale to dispose of all or a part of the Common Stock
attributable to them, subject to the prior written consent of the other party,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
The Bowenvale Shareholders' Agreement provides that the Board of
Directors of Bowenvale will consist of six to eight directors, with an equal
number appointed by Able Star and the GE Entities. The quorum for meetings of
the Board of Directors of Bowenvale will be two directors, one appointed by the
GE Entities and one appointed by Able Star. Decisions of the Board of Directors
of Bowenvale will be by unanimous vote of those directors present. The right to
nominate a chairman and a deputy chairman of the Board of Directors of Bowenvale
will rotate on a bi-annual basis between the GE Entities and Able Star, with
each nominee to hold office for two years. Neither the chairman nor deputy
chairman will have an additional vote at meetings of the Board of Directors of
Bowenvale.
The Board of Directors of the Issuer will consist of eight
directors, and for so long as Issuer remains listed on the SEHK, two executive
directors, being the Chief Executive Officer and the Deputy Chief Executive
Officer, and three independent non-executive directors. The GE Entities and Able
Star shall each be entitled to appoint four directors to the Board of Directors
of the Issuer. It is the intention of the GE Entities and Able Star that the
same individuals should be chairman and deputy chairman of the Boards of both
------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------
CUSIP No. 763991-02-3 13D Page 19 of 40 Pages
------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------
Bowenvale and the Issuer, subject to this being acceptable to the Board of
Directors of the Issuer.
Upon the successful privatization of the Issuer, Able Star and the
GE Entities may consider entering into a simpler shareholders' agreement in
respect of Bowenvale to reflect the Issuer's status as a private company, as
opposed to a publicly listed company. In addition, under the Bowenvale
Shareholders' Agreement, as soon as is reasonably practicable after the
completion of the proposed privatization of the Issuer, the Offeror will be
merged with Bowenvale and the Offeror's interest in the Issuer will be
transferred to Bowenvale.

agreements which are filed as Exhibits and incorporated herein by reference.
