As per the terms of the agreement, Brookfield acquired the majority stake in the Canadian mortgage insurance firm from Genworth Financial International Holdings (GFIH) and Genworth Mortgage Insurance Corporation (GMIC).

The divestiture of Genworth MI Canada is part of Genworth’s plan to move ahead of long pending acquisition by China Oceanwide.

Concurrently, Genworth concluded an internal reshuffle whereby Genworth contributed 100% of its ownership interest in GMHI to Genworth Holdings.

This resulted into Genworth Holdings owing the 100% of GMHI that holds 100% of the issued and outstanding voting securities of Genworth’s US mortgage insurance firms such as Genworth Mortgage Insurance Corporation.
