General Electric Prices Genworth Secondary
General Electric priced a secondary offering of its former Genworth unit and affirmed earnings guidance for the current quarter and year.
GE, which spun off Genworth last year, said it sold 71 million Class A shares of the insurance outfit for $32.75 apiece through underwriters led by Merrill Lynch. Including another 15 million Class B shares GE sold back to Genworth, the company raised $2.8 billion, which it will use for "industrial acquisitions" and buybacks.
