Genworth Mortgage Insurance Completes Mortgage Insurance-Linked Note Transaction

RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Genworth Mortgage Insurance ("Genworth MI"), an operating segment of Genworth Financial, Inc. (NYSE: GNW), today announced that its flagship legal entity, Genworth Mortgage Insurance Corporation, has obtained $349.6 million of fully collateralized excess of loss reinsurance coverage from Triangle Re 2020-1 Ltd. ("Triangle Re") on a portfolio of existing mortgage insurance policies written from January 2020 through August 2020. Triangle Re is a special purpose insurer domiciled in Bermuda and is not a subsidiary or affiliate of Genworth Financial, Inc.

Triangle Re funded its reinsurance obligations by issuing five classes of mortgage insurance-linked notes (ILNs), which have a 10-year legal final maturity with a 7-year call option, to qualified institutional investors in an unregistered private offering. The ILNs are non-recourse to Genworth Financial, Inc. or its subsidiaries and affiliates.

The ILNs consist of the following five classes:

• $ 134,854,000 Class M-1A Notes with a coupon equal to one-month LIBOR plus 300 basis points
• $ 54,940,000 Class M-1B Notes with a coupon equal to one-month LIBOR plus 390 basis points
• $ 59,935,000 Class M-1C Notes with a coupon equal to one-month LIBOR plus 450 basis points
• $ 74,919,000 Class M-2 Notes with a coupon equal to one-month LIBOR plus 560 basis points
• $ 24,973,000 Class B-1 Notes with a coupon equal to one-month LIBOR plus 775 basis points

This transaction marks the second ILN issuance for Genworth MI, representing its third credit risk transfer transaction since the COVID-19 pandemic began, and is a continuation of the company's robust credit risk transfer program, which has generated more than $2.4 billion of excess of loss reinsurance coverage over the past five years.

"I'm proud of the work we continue to do to strengthen our portfolio and balance sheet," said Genworth MI's Chief Executive Officer Rohit Gupta. "In the best of times, these actions help us effectively manage our capital—and in uncertain times, they help us weather the impact of market volatility on our portfolio and protect our balance sheet."
