This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on July 13, 2017 (the “Original Schedule 13D”) with respect to the Class A Common Stock of the Issuer. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D.  Unless specifically amended hereby, the disclosure set forth in the Original Schedule 13D remains unchanged.
 
Item 2.          Identity and Background.
 
Schedule I to Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth in Schedule I attached hereto.
 
Item 5.          Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 

(a)          Based on the most recent information available, the aggregate number and percentage of the Class A Common Stock (the securities identified pursuant to Item 1 of this Schedule 13D) that are beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons is set forth in boxes (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for each of the Reporting Persons, and such information is incorporated herein by reference.  The percentages reported herein are calculated based upon, as of March 29, 2018, 696,460,382 shares of Class B Common Stock and 416,299,761 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, assuming the exchange of all Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock (for a total of 1,112,760,143 shares of Class A Common Stock on a fully exchanged basis).
 
To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, the following persons beneficially own the shares of Class A Common Stock set forth below:

 
·
W. Geoffrey Beattie, Director, General Electric Company, holds 7,900 shares of Class A Common Stock.
 
·
James E. Rohr, Director, General Electric Company, holds 8,200 shares of Class A Common Stock.
 
·

(c)          In connection with a share repurchase program announced by the Issuer on November 6, 2017, pursuant to which BHGE LLC is authorized to repurchase Common Units up to an aggregate value of $3,000,000,000, on December 28 and 29, 2017, the Reporting Persons completed the sale of 10,126,468 Paired Interests to the Issuer and BHGE LLC for an aggregate purchase price of $313,802,773.66, and on March 29, 2018, the Reporting Persons completed the sale of an additional 10,523,873 Paired Interests to the Issuer and BHGE LLC for an aggregate purchase price of $312,650,921.05, equal to $29.71 per Paired Interest, in each case in order for the Reporting Persons to maintain their respective proportional ownership interests in the Issuer and BHGE LLC in light of repurchases of Class A Common Stock by the Issuer, pursuant to the BHGE LLC Agreement.  Other than as disclosed in this Schedule 13D, no transactions involving Paired Interests or shares of Class A Common Stock were effected during the past sixty days.
                     
(d)          No person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of Class A Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons other than each of the Reporting Persons.
