SECTION 5 – CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
     To facilitate the declassification of the board of directors of Washington Mutual, Inc. (the “Company”) approved by the Company’s shareholders in 2006, the following directors submitted resignations from the Company’s Board of Directors as of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 17, 2007 (the “2007 Annual Meeting”) in order to shorten their existing director terms: Kerry Killinger, Thomas Leppert, Charles Lillis, Michael Murphy, Orin Smith, Phillip Matthews, Mary Pugh, William Reed, Jr. and James Stever.
     The resignations were necessary simply to facilitate the transition to a declassified Board of Directors by shortening the existing terms of these directors and allowing them and all other Company directors to stand for re-election every year, rather than once every three years. At the 2007 Annual Meeting, all Company directors, including those listed above, were re-elected by shareholders for one-year terms.
