To the Genworth and China Oceanwide Deal 
Genworth Logo


After approximately two years of review, China Oceanwide Holdings Group Co. agreed to buy Genworth Financial Inc. for $2.7 billion, creating a greater and more certain value to stockholders than the company's current business plan. 

China Oceanwide is a privately held, family owned international financial holding group with a well-established and diversified business portfolio that includes financial services and insurance products in China, as well as real estate assets globally. China Oceanwide has also committed to contribute $1.1 billion in additional cash to support Genworth's efforts to restructure their business. 

Genworth will be a private company, better positioned to continue to focus on key operational priorities. These include executing our multi-year LTC rate action plan, which is essential to stabilizing the financial position of the legacy LTC business, supporting the financial foundation, and building mortgage insurance (MI) and LTC businesses.
