SECURITY AND ISSUER This Amendment No. 4 (this "Amendment") amends the Schedule 13D filed by General Electric Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("GE Capital"), for and on behalf of itself, GECFS, Inc. ("GECFS"), General Electric Capital Services, Inc. ("GECS") and General Electric Company ("GE") on April 21, 2000 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on June 2, 2000, Amendment No. 2 filed on January 3, 2001 and Amendment No. 3 filed on March 1, 2001), relating to the shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Class A Common Stock" and together with the Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, the "Common Stock"), of Neff Corporation (the "Company"). ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION Item 4 (a-j) is amended to add the following: On April 30, 2003, GE Capital entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement (the "Settlement and Release Agreement") with Santos Fund I, L.P., a Texas limited partnership ("Santos"), pursuant which GE Capital agreed to (i) to accept from Santos 900,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company (the "Santos Shares") and (ii) release Santos from any and all obligations and liabilities under that certain Promissory Note, dated as of May 20, 1998 (the "Promissory Note"), issued by Santos to GE Capital as successor in interest to GECFS, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of GE Capital that has been merged with and into GE Capital. The obligations of Santos under the Promissory Note were secured by a pledge of the Santos Shares. The Santos Shares that are being acquired by GE Capital pursuant to the Settlement and Release Agreement were previously sold by GECFS to Santos on March 25, 1998 and May 20, 1998. A copy of the Settlement and Release Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1 hereto. In connection with the Settlement and Release Agreement, GE Capital entered into a Voting Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2003, with the Company (the "Voting Agreement"). Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, GE has agreed that it will not exercise any voting rights with respect to any shares of Common Stock in excess of the number of shares that equals 15% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the time a matter is presented to the Company's stockholders for action at a stockholders' meeting or for action by written consent, subject to the following exceptions: (i) if GE Capital sells any shares of Common Stock to an unaffiliated third party, such third party could exercise voting rights with respect to such shares; (ii) GE may exercise voting rights 5 with respect to such shares if GE Capital is no longer a lender under the Company's senior credit facility; (iii) GE Capital may exercise voting rights with respect to such shares if certain amendments are made to the indentures with respect to the Company's 10-1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008; or (iv) GE may elect to exercise voting rights with respect to such shares if any Person or group (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) (other than GE Capital, Jorge Mas, Juan Carlos Mas and Jose Ramon Mas or a transferee of GE Capital) shall acquire beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of twenty percent (20%) of the Company's voting securities. In addition, GE Capital waived its right to appoint a member to the Board until the earlier of (i) neither GE Capital nor any affiliate of GE Capital is a lender under the Company's senior credit facility or (ii) certain amendments are made to the indentures with respect to the Company's 10-1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008. A copy of the Voting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2 hereto. GE Capital does not presently intend to direct, cause the direction of, influence or participate in the management and policies of the Company. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUER (a) and (b) As of April 30, 2003, after giving effect to the Settlement and Release Agreement, GE Capital owns 900,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company and 5,100,000 shares of the Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company ("Class B Common Stock"), representing approximately 28.4% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (assuming for purposes of this calculation that the Class B Common Stock held by GE Capital has been converted to Class A Common Stock), as reported in Neff's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2002. GE Capital is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GECS which, in turn, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GE. Through its ownership of GE Capital, each of GECS and GE may be deemed the beneficial owner of such shares. Except as disclosed herein, none of GE Capital, GECS, GE, nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of their executive officers and directors, beneficially owns any Class A Common Stock or Class B Common of the Company or presently has a right to acquire any Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock of the Company.
