SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application of GE Global Insurance 
Holding Corporation to Withdraw Its 7% Notes (due 2026) From Listing 
and Registration on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. File No. 1-14178

March 19, 2004.
    GE Global Insurance Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation 
(``Issuer''), has filed an application with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to section 12(d) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) 
thereunder,\2\ to withdraw its 7% Notes (due 2026) (``Security''), from 
listing and registration on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE'' 
or ``Exchange'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(d).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the 
requirements of the NYSE rules governing an issuer's voluntary 
withdrawal of a security from listing and registration.
    The Board of Directors (``Board'') of the Issuer approved a 
resolution on March 10, 2004 to withdraw the Issuer's Security from 
listing on the NYSE. The Board stated that following reasons factored 
into its decision to withdraw the Issuer's Security from the Exchange: 
(i) The limited number of holders of the Security (as of March 2, 2004, 
there were approximately 88 beneficial holders of the Security); (ii) 
the Issuer's Security trades infrequently on the NYSE and based on 
information provided in pricing history reports, there has been minimal 
trading of the Security during the three-month period prior to the date 
of this application; (iii) the Issuer believes that delisting the 
Security should not have a material impact on the holders of the 
Security; and (iv) the Issuer is not obligated under the indenture 
under which the Security was issued or any other documents to maintain 
a listing of the Security on the NYSE or any other exchange.
    The Issuer's application relates solely to the Security's 
withdrawal from listing on the NYSE and from registration under section 
12(b) of the Act \3\ and shall not affect its obligation to be 
registered under section 12(g) of the Act.\4\

    Any interested person may, on or before April 12, 2004, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon 
whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of 
the NYSE and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission 
for the protection of investors. All comment letters should refer to 
File No. 1-14178. The Commission, based on the information submitted to 
it, will issue an order granting the application after the date 
mentioned above, unless the Commission determines to order a hearing on 
the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.\5\
