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."
