FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 including, but not limited to, WMIH’s and Nationstar’s expectations or predictions of future financial or business performance or conditions. All statements other than statements of historical or current fact included in this press release that address activities, events, conditions or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business and these statements are not guarantees of future performance. Forward-looking statements may include the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events, results or performance to differ materially from those indicated by such statements. Certain of these risks are identified and discussed in WMIH’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 under Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A and Nationstar’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 under Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A and any subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q . These risk factors will be important to consider in determining future results and should be reviewed in their entirety. These forward-looking statements are expressed in good faith, and WMIH and Nationstar believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that the events, results or trends identified in these forward-looking statements will occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and neither WMIH nor Nationstar is under any obligation, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update, alter or otherwise revise any forward-looking statement, except as required by law. Readers should carefully review the statements set forth in the reports, which WMIH and Nationstar have filed or will file from time to time with the SEC.

In addition to factors previously disclosed in WMIH’s and Nationstar’s reports filed with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this press release, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: ability to meet the closing conditions to the Merger, the risk that regulatory approvals required for the Merger are not obtained or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; delay in closing the Merger; failure to realize the benefits expected from the proposed Merger; the effects of pending and future legislation; risks associated with investing in mortgage loans and mortgage servicing rights and changes in interest rates; risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed transaction; business disruption following the transaction; macroeconomic factors beyond WMIH’s or Nationstar’s control; risks related to WMIH’s or Nationstar’s indebtedness and other consequences associated with mergers, acquisitions and divestitures and legislative and regulatory actions and reforms.

Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purpose only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results.

WMIH Corp. Announces Pricing of Offering of $1.7 Billion of Senior Notes

Seattle, June 29, 2018 – WMIH Corp. (NASDAQ: WMIH) (“WMIH”) today announced the pricing of the offering by Wand Merger Corporation, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of WMIH (“Merger Sub”), of $950,000,000 8.125% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”) and $750,000,000 9.125% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes” and, together with the 2023 Notes, the “Notes”). The 2023 Notes will bear interest at 8.125% per annum and will mature on July 15, 2023. The 2026 Notes will bear interest at 9.125% per annum and will mature on July 15, 2026.

Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2019.

On February 12, 2018, WMIH entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Merger Sub and Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. (“Nationstar”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge (the “Merger”) with and into Nationstar with Nationstar surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of WMIH. WMIH intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes as part of its financing for the Merger.

The offering is expected to close on or around July 13, 2018, subject to customary closing conditions. The proceeds of the offering will be deposited in escrow, with such proceeds to be released to finance the consummation of the Merger subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions. Upon consummation of the Merger, Nationstar will assume all of Merger Sub’s obligations under the Notes. The Notes will be guaranteed on a joint and several basis by WMIH and wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of Nationstar (other than certain excluded subsidiaries).

The offering of the Notes was made in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in the United States only to investors who are “qualified institutional buyers,” as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, or outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of any of the Notes in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

Any such forward-looking statements may involve risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from any future results encompassed within the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those matters disclosed in WMIH’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
