As discussed in note 1, on March 3, 2021, we completed the sale of Genworth Australia through an underwriting agreement and received approximately AUD483 million ($370 million) of net cash proceeds.

Amount consists of $160 million of cumulative losses on foreign currency translation adjustments, partially offset by cumulative unrealized investment gains of $29 million and deferred tax gains of $22 million.
 
In addition, we recorded an

Lifestyle protection insurance
On December 1, 2015, Genworth Financial, through its subsidiaries, completed the sale of its lifestyle protection insurance business to AXA. In 2017, AXA sued us for damages on an indemnity in the 2015 agreement related to alleged remediation it paid to customers who purchased payment protection insurance (“PPI”). On July 20, 2020, we reached a settlement agreement related to losses incurred from mis-selling complaints on policies sold from 1970 through 2004. As part of the settlement agreement, Genworth Holdings agreed to make payments for certain PPI mis-selling claims, along with a significant portion of future claims that are still being processed. Under the settlement agreement, Genworth Holdings issued a secured promissory note to AXA, in which it agreed to make deferred cash payments in two installments in June 2022 and September 2022.
 
In connection with the Genworth Australia sale, Genworth Holdings made a mandatory principal payment to AXA of approximately £176 million ($245 million) in March 2021. The mandatory payment fully repaid the first installment obligation originally due in June 2022 and partially prepaid the September 2022 installment payment.
On September 21, 2021, Genworth Holdings used a portion of the net proceeds from the minority IPO of Enact Holdings to repay the remaining outstanding balance of the secured promissory note of approximately £215 million ($296 million), excluding future claims still being processed. As of December 31, 2021, we accrued approximately £22 million ($30 million) of estimated future claims still in process of being invoiced. In February 2022, Genworth Holdings paid AXA the majority of the remaining unprocessed claims of approximately $30 million. We have established our current best estimates for claims still being processed by AXA, as well as other expenses; however, there may be future adjustments to this estimate. If amounts are different from our estimate, it could result in an adjustment to our liability and an additional amount reflected in income (loss) from discontinued operations.
The following table presents the amounts owed to AXA under the settlement agreement reflected as liabilities related to discontinued operations in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31:

On March 3, 2021, we completed the sale of Genworth Australia and received net proceeds of approximately AUD483 million ($370 million). The sale of Genworth Australia resulted in a mandatory principal payment of approximately £176 million ($245 million) related to our outstanding secured promissory note issued to AXA, dated as of July 20, 2020, as amended by the parties in connection with the Genworth Australia sale. On September 21, 2021, Genworth Holdings used a portion of the net proceeds from the minority IPO of Enact Holdings to repay the remaining outstanding balance of the secured promissory note of approximately £215 million ($296 million).
 
 
For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, we recorded
after-tax
income (loss) from discontinued operations of $4 million, $(572) million and $(110) million, respectively, related to the settlement agreement with AXA. To secure our obligation under the amended promissory note, Genworth Financial granted a 19.9% security interest in the outstanding common stock of Enact Holdings to AXA. AXA did not have the right to sell or repledge the collateral and was not entitled to any voting rights. Following the full repayment of the secured promissory note, AXA released its 19.9% security interest in the outstanding common shares of Enact Holdings. Accordingly, the collateral arrangement had no impact on our consolidated financial statements. Prior to the full repayment, the promissory note was also subject to certain mandatory prepayments, negative and affirmative covenants, restrictions imposed on the collateral, representations and warranties and customary events of default.
In the event AXA recovers amounts from third parties related to the mis-selling losses, including from the distributor responsible for the sale of the policies, we have certain rights to share in those recoveries to recoup payments for the underlying mis-selling losses. As of December 31, 2021, we have not recorded any amounts associated with recoveries from third parties.
In addition to the future claims still being processed under the settlement agreement, we also have an unrelated liability that is owed to AXA associated with underwriting losses on a product sold by a distributor in our former lifestyle protection insurance business. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, we recorded
after-tax
income (loss) of $(4) million, $23 million and $, respectively, associated with adjustments to the underwriting loss liability. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the balance of the liability is $4 million and $16 million, respectively, and is included as liabilities related to discontinued operations in our consolidated balance sheets. During the second quarter of 2021, we reached a settlement with AXA and made a cash payment of approximately €15 million ($18 million) for the amounts owed related to the underwriting loss liability. The remaining amount accrued as of December 31, 2021 represents our best estimate of amounts owed for a tax gross up associated with the underwriting losses.
Canada mortgage insurance business
On December 12, 2019, we completed the sale of Genworth Canada to Brookfield Business Partners L.P. (“Brookfield”) and received approximately $1.7 billion in net cash proceeds. In the fourth quarter of 2019 and prior to sale closing, we also received a special dividend of approximately $54 million from Genworth Canada. This special dividend reduced the sales price on a per purchased share basis by CAD$1.45 per common share. During 2019, we recognized an
after-tax
loss on sale of $121 million principally driven by cumulative losses on foreign currency translation adjustments and deferred tax losses, partially offset by unrealized investment gains. These amounts, which were previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, were recognized as part of the loss on sale.
