Nonstrategic assets Major restructuring of Conseco Finance underway "rounded up"
   and - 5 business activities to be sold/closed; sales underway - 15 branches
   in MH being closed;
                                  - 31 branches in home equity being closed;
                                  - 2000 total employees laid off;
                                  - $150 million expense reductions
                                  - Plus: Slow the Growth



Actions would provide $2 billion for debt repayment over the next five quarters
