This new solution is designed to be offered by organizations that serve older populations, such as retirement communities, financial service providers, insurers, and Medicare plan administrators.

The package includes around-the-clock protection features that help prevent scams, monitor identity theft, and provide essential aid to beneficiaries navigating post-loss logistics. Key features include: Dedicated 24/7/365 multilingual fraud resolution experts; Continuous monitoring of identity and credit activity; Alerts for high-risk transactions and spoofed phone calls; Oversight of social media accounts and dark web exposure; ScamAssist®? for suspicious communication review; Beneficiary Companion®? services for posthumous fraud prevention and paperwork support; Real-time home title monitoring and alerts; Up to $2 million in identity theft-related expense reimbursement.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.9% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders.

While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings.

The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (0.7% operating cash flow to total debt). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.9% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risk Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Reported Earnings • Aug 13

Generali $22 Billion Portfolio Sale to Private Equity Reportedly Complicated by Rate Surge Assicurazioni Generali S.p.A. (BIT:G) plans to shed up to EUR 20 billion ($21.87 billion) of insurance liabilities are being hampered as a surge in interest rates has complicated talks with buyers, three people familiar with the matter said. The Italian insurer embarked on a process late last year to sell a large batch of domestic life insurance contracts to free up capital. It has been working with Goldman Sachs (GS.N) to sound out buyers for the portfolio, including Portugal-based GamaLife - Companhia de Seguros de Vida, S.A. (GamaLife), backed by Apax Partners, and Bermuda-based Athora Holding Ltd., backed by Apollo Global Management (APO.N), said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Spain-based Mediterraneo Vida, S.A. de Seguros y Reaseguros (MedVida), owned by U.S. billionaire Paul Singer's hedge fund Elliott Management, has also shown interest in the portfolio, which is made up of different clusters of policies, one of the people said. But interest rate rises have added to the deal's complexity, raising questions over the value of the portfolio and the regulatory appetite to authorise such a large transfer of risk to buyout groups. Generali may seek to revive discussions after agreeing to acquire Liberty Mutual's European operations earlier this month for EUR 2.3 billion, which had taken much of the group's attention, one person said. However, the insurer is open to alternative structures for outsourcing the risk, for example, through a reinsurance arrangement, another one added. Generali, Goldman Sachs, Apax Partners, Athora and Elliott declined to comment. Spokespeople for Apollo, GamaLife and MedVida did not respond to a request for comment. Back, closed or run-off insurance books consist of policies that are no longer sold to new customers but remain in force, requiring insurers to hold capital against future obligations.
