Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On June 23, 1997, Transamerica Finance Corporation, a subsidiary of Transamerica
Corporation, sold substantially all of its real estate secured lending
operations to a subsidiary of Household International, Inc. for total proceeds
of $3.9 billion, or $1.1 billion after repayment of associated debt. A
definitive agreement for the sale was originally announced on May 21, 1997. The
amount of consideration received in the sale was determined through negotiations
with Household.
Proceeds from the transaction, net of expenses, will be used to pay down debt,
to purchase Transamerica Corporation's common stock and for other corporate
purposes. Transamerica previously announced that its board of directors has
authorized the purchase of up to 6 million of the company's common shares.
As a result of the sale, Transamerica's second-quarter results will include an
after-tax gain of $275 million ($4.01 per share) after taking into account
taxes, writedowns of intangibles and other items.
