Page references in the below disclosures are to the Definitive Proxy Statement, and defined terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement. Without admitting in any way that the disclosures below are material or otherwise required by law, Genworth makes the following amended and supplemental disclosures.

The section of the Definitive Proxy Statement entitled: “Summary—Litigation Related to the Merger (see page 102)” on page 13 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is amended and restated as follows:

On January 12, 2017, two putative Genworth stockholders filed a complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Salberg v. Genworth Financial, Inc., C.A. No. 2017-0018-JRS, seeking an inspection of Genworth books and records, pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 220, relating to the Board’s consideration of derivative claims belonging to Genworth in the context of the merger. Genworth previously provided the stockholders with certain books and records in response to a demand for inspection pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 220. On February 6, 2017, Genworth filed an answer to that complaint.

On January 23, 2017, a putative stockholder class action lawsuit, captioned Rice v. Genworth Financial Incorporated et al, Case No. 3:17-cv-00059-REP, was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (Richmond Division), against Genworth and the members of the Board. On January 25, 2017, two putative stockholder class action lawsuits, captioned James v. Genworth Financial, Inc. et al, Case No. 3:17-cv-00078-REP, and Rosenfeld Family Trust v. Genworth Financial, Inc. et al, Case No. 1:17-cv-00073-GMS, were filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (Richmond Division) and the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, respectively, against Genworth and the members of the Board. On February 6, 2017, a putative stockholder class action lawsuit, captioned Chopp v. Genworth Financial, Inc. et al, Case No. 1:17-cv-00125-GMS, was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, against Genworth and the members of the Board. On February 10, 2017, a putative stockholder class action lawsuit, captioned Ratliff v. Genworth Financial, Inc. et al, Case No. 3:17-cv-00132-REP, was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (Richmond Division), against Genworth and the members of the Board. The complaints in all five actions allege, among other things, that the preliminary proxy statement filed by Genworth with the SEC on December 21, 2016 contains false and/or materially misleading statements and/or omits material information. The complaints in all five actions assert claims under Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and seek equitable relief, including declaratory and injunctive relief, and an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses. On February 2, 2017, the plaintiff in the Rice action filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the March 7, 2017 stockholder vote on the merger pending additional disclosure to Genworth’s stockholders concerning the merger. On February 10, 2017, the defendants filed an opposition to the preliminary injunction motion in the Rice action. Also on February 10, 2017, the plaintiff in the Rosenfeld Family Trust action filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the March 7, 2017 stockholder vote on the merger pending additional disclosure to Genworth’s stockholders concerning the merger. On February 14, 2017, the defendants filed a motion to transfer the Rosenfeld Family Trust action to the Eastern District of Virginia. On February 15, 2017, the defendants filed a motion to transfer the Chopp action to the Eastern District of Virginia. On February 21, 2017, the parties to the Eastern District of Virginia actions (Rice, James and Ratliff) reached an agreement in principle to resolve the pending preliminary injunction motion in the Rice action through additional disclosure prior to the March 7, 2017 stockholder vote on the merger. On February 22, 2017, the court in the Eastern District of Virginia consolidated the Rice, James and Ratliff actions, and the plaintiffs withdrew the preliminary injunction motion in the Rice action in consideration of agreed disclosures to be filed in this Form 8-K. Also on February 22, 2017, the court in the District of Delaware suspended briefing on the motion for preliminary injunction in the Rosenfeld Family Trust action and entered an order transferring the Rosenfeld Family Trust and Chopp actions to the Eastern District of Virginia. On February 23, 2017, the court in the Eastern District of Virginia received the transferred Rosenfeld Family Trust and Chopp actions, assigned the actions case numbers 3:17-cv-000156-REP and 3:17-cv-000157-REP, respectively, consolidated the Rosenfeld Trust and Chopp actions, and set the motion for preliminary injunction filed in the Rosenfeld Family Trust action for hearing on March 1, 2017.

The disclosure in the last paragraph on page 74 of the Definitive Proxy Statement titled “Present Value of Future Share Price Analysis” is amended and supplemented as follows:

Present Value of Future Share Price Analysis. Goldman Sachs performed analyses of the implied present value of the future share price of Genworth common stock, which is designed to indicate the present value of a theoretical future value of Genworth’s equity as a function of its estimated future book value per share and an assumed range of price to book value multiples. For these analyses, Goldman Sachs used the Base Forecast for the one year periods ending December 31 of each of the years 2018 through 2021 and the estimated number of fully diluted outstanding shares of Genworth as of December 31 of each of the years 2017 through 2020 as provided by Genworth’s management. Goldman Sachs performed a regression analysis because, based on its experience and professional judgment, it was relevant to compare the implied relationship between reported price as a multiple of book value per share (excluding accumulated other comprehensive income, which we refer to as “ex. AOCI”, and, collectively, as the “P/BV (ex. AOCI)”) and the estimated return on average equity for 2017 (which we refer to as the “2017E ROAE”) for selected companies in the U.S. life insurance industry. To perform this regression analysis, Goldman Sachs first compared the implied relationship between the P/BV (ex. AOCI) as of June 30, 2016 for the selected companies in the U.S. life insurance industry and the estimated 2017E ROAE for the selected companies using estimates published by Institutional Brokers’ Estimate System (which we refer to as “IBES”) as of October 18, 2016. The names of the selected companies included in the regression analysis and the P/BV (ex. AOCI) calculated by Goldman Sachs are listed below:

The disclosure in the first sentence of the third full paragraph on page 75 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is amended and supplemented as follows:

The estimated P/BV multiples for each of the years 2017 through 2020 implied by applying the current discount were then applied to estimated book value per share of Genworth as set forth in the Base Forecast for each of the years 2017 through 2020 to derive a range of implied future stock prices for Genworth for each of 2017 through 2020, which Goldman Sachs then discounted back to present value, using an illustrative discount rate of 20.1%, reflecting an estimate of Genworth’s cost of equity and derived by the application of the capital asset pricing model, which requires certain company-specific inputs, including a beta for Genworth, as well as certain financial metrics for the United States financial markets generally.

The disclosure on page 76 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is amended and supplemented by adding the following sentence after the first sentence of the second full paragraph on such page:

Goldman Sachs then discounted the estimated dividend streams from Genworth’s assumed 80.1% ownership in US MI for the period 2017 through 2020 as set forth in the Base Forecast and range of illustrative terminal values to derive illustrative present values, as of January 1, 2017, of Genworth’s assumed 80.1% ownership stake in US MI. Goldman Sachs used a range of discount rates from 11.0% to 13.0%, representing estimates of Genworth’s weighted average cost of capital and derived by the application of the capital asset pricing model, which requires certain company-specific inputs, including Genworth’s capital structure weightings, the cost of long-term debt, future applicable marginal cash tax rate and a beta for Genworth, as well as certain financial metrics for the United States financial markets generally.

Based on this analysis and assuming the current discount at which Genworth trades to the regression line (28.4% discount), Lazard noted that (i) the 2017 return on average equity set forth in the Base Forecast implied a ratio of P/BV per share for Genworth of 0.32x and (ii) the 2018 return on average equity set forth in the Base Forecast implied a ratio of P/BV per share for Genworth of 0.31x.

Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements and factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties related to: (i) the risk that the transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect Genworth’s business and the price of Genworth’s common stock; (ii) the ability of the parties to obtain stockholder and regulatory approvals, or the possibility that they may delay the transaction or that materially burdensome or adverse regulatory conditions may be imposed in connection with any such regulatory approvals; (iii) the risk that a condition to closing of the transaction may not be satisfied; (iv) potential legal proceedings that may be instituted against Genworth following announcement of the transaction; (v) the risk that the proposed transaction disrupts Genworth’s current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the transaction; (vi) potential adverse reactions or changes to Genworth’s business relationships with clients, employees, suppliers or other parties or other business uncertainties resulting from the announcement of the transaction or during the pendency of the transaction, including but not limited to such changes that could affect Genworth’s financial performance; (vii) certain restrictions during the pendency of the transaction that may impact Genworth’s ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; (viii) continued availability of capital and financing to Genworth before the consummation of the transaction; (ix) further rating agency actions and downgrades in Genworth’s financial strength ratings; (x) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (xi) Genworth’s ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the transaction; (xii) the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and other charges related to the transaction; (xiii) the risks related to diverting management’s attention from Genworth’s ongoing business operations; (xiv) the impact of changes in interest rates and political instability; and (xv) other risks and uncertainties described in the Proxy Statement, Genworth’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2016 and as updated in Genworth’s Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 8, 2016. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Genworth’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, credit rating or liquidity. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Genworth’s views as of any subsequent date, and Genworth does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
