Item 8.01. Other Events.
On May 1, 2017, CIT Group Inc. (CIT) filed an amendment
(Amendment No. 1) to its Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO,
originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
April 27, 2017 (as amended, the Schedule TO). The Schedule TO
relates to the offer by CIT to purchase, upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase,
dated April 27, 2017 (the Offer to Purchase), and the related

Amendment No. 1 amends the Offer to Purchase, which was filed as
Exhibit(a)(1)(A) to the Schedule TO, as follows:
The paragraph immediately following the capitalization table on
page 31 of the Offer to Purchase is amended to read in its
entirety as set forth below. The information in the
capitalization table and in the paragraph preceding it has not
changed and is set forth below solely for ease of reference.
Selected Balance Sheet Data and Earnings
Information. The following table sets forth our
consolidated cash and capitalization, as of December 31, 2016,
and on an as-adjusted basis to give effect, as of such date, to
(i) the Commercial Air Sale for a sale price of $10.4 billion,
(ii) the redemption (the Redemption) of $1,725,785,000 principal

Notes due March 2018, $695,000,000 principal amount of our 6.625%
Series C Unsecured Notes due April 2018, and $955,925,000
principal amount of our 5.000% Senior Unsecured Notes due May

tender offer (the Debt Tender) of $969 million principal amount
of our 5.500% Series C Unsecured Notes due 2019 (the 2019 Notes)
and (iv) the purchase of 60,439,560 shares of our common stock
for an aggregate purchase price of $2,750,000,000 to the Offer
(which assumes that the Offer is fully subscribed and that the
purchase price per share is determined to be $45.50 (the
mid-point between the lowest and highest per-share purchase
prices under the terms of the Offer)). The Commercial Air Sale
was completed on April 4, 2017 and payment for the 2019 Notes
accepted for purchase in the Debt Tender as of its early
participation date was made on April 18, 2017. CIT has called the

continuing operations and loss from continuing operations per
common share, should each be read in conjunction with the
consolidated historical financial statements and notes thereto
that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2016, and the Unaudited Pro Forma Balance
Sheet that gives effect to the Commercial Air Sale, which is
included as Exhibit 99.5 to our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed
with the SEC on April 7, 2017, each of which are incorporated by

Reduction of Cash and Borrowings assumes a weighted average redemption price of 102.76%, calculated using the applicable yields published in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) (the H.15 Average) on December 30, 2016. The total redemption price actually paid will depend on the H.15 Average calculated on May 1, 2017. |
| (2) | Amounts are expressed net of unamortized debt issuance costs. |
If the Air Sale, the Redemption, the Debt Tender and the Offer
(collectively, the Transactions) had been completed on the terms
described above as of January 1, 2016, for the year ended
December 31, 2016 our pro forma interest expense and loss from
continuing operations would have been substantially the same as
the actual amounts for that period because the interest expense
allocated to discontinued operations included amounts
representative of interest expense associated with the repaid
borrowings. On such pro forma basis for that period, our loss
from continuing operations per common share would have been $1.29
on both a basic and fully diluted basis (compared to actual loss
from continuing operations per common share, on both a basic and
fully diluted basis, of $0.90), reflecting the reduction in share
count relating to the Offer. These amounts are not intended to
represent and may not necessarily be indicative of the
corresponding amounts that would have been reported had the
Transactions been completed on the terms and dates described
above and should not be taken as representative of and are not
necessarily indicative of our future interest expense and
earnings from continuing operations.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of applicable federal securities laws that are based upon
our current expectations and assumptions concerning future
events, which are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
anticipated. The words expect, anticipate, estimate, forecast,
initiative, objective, plan, goal, project, outlook, priorities,
target, intend, evaluate, pursue, commence, seek, may, would,
could, should, believe, potential, continue, or the negative of
any of those words or similar expressions is intended to identify
forward-looking statements. All statements contained in this Form
8-K, other than statements of historical fact, including without
limitation, statements about our plans, strategies, prospects and
expectations regarding future events and our financial
performance, are forward-looking statements that involve certain
risks and uncertainties. While these statements represent our
current judgment on what the future may hold, and we believe
these judgments are reasonable, these statements are not
guarantees of any events or financial results, and our actual
results may differ materially. Important factors that could cause
our actual results to be materially different from our
expectations include, among others, the risk that CIT is
unsuccessful in implementing its strategy and business plan, the
risk that CIT is unable to react to and address key business and
regulatory issues, the risk that CIT is unable to achieve the
projected revenue growth from its new business initiatives or the
projected expense reductions from efficiency improvements, and
the risk that CIT becomes subject to liquidity constraints and
higher funding costs. We describe these and other risks that
could affect our results in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our latest
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,
which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on the
forward-looking statements contained in this Form 8-K. These
forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which the
statements were made. CIT undertakes no obligation to update
publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements,
except where expressly required by law.
