China Oceanwide — a Beijing-based real estate developer and financial services company — first announced plans to acquire Genworth in October 2016.

Genworth is a Richmond, Virginia-based company that’s still a significant mortgage insurance issuer and is still selling long-term care insurance (LTCI). It has large blocks of life insurance, annuities and LTCI still in force.

Genworth has said that it will report on its first-quarter earnings later today and hold a conference call with securities analysts at 8 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time Wednesday.

The companies have received approvals for the deal from U.S. insurance regulators, but they still need approvals from U.S. mortgage guarantee agencies and from financial services regulators and other regulators outside the United States.

China Oceanwide has also has had to cope with abrupt changes in China’s views on its companies’ development projects and overseas investments. The company has been working on efforts to free up cash by selling two large real estate development projects in China.

“The closing of the transaction remains subject to the receipt of regulatory approval in Canada,” the companies said in the new deal deadline extension announcement. “In addition, Oceanwide will need to receive clearance in China for currency conversion and the transfer of funds. ”
