Note 1: The Company and its Subsidiaries

WMI Holdings Corp.

WMI Holdings Corp. (“WMIHC”) is a holding company organized and existing under the laws of the State of Washington. WMIHC, formerly known as Washington Mutual, Inc. (“WMI”), is the direct parent of WM Mortgage Reinsurance Company, Inc. (“WMMRC”), a Hawaii corporation, and WMI Investment Corp. (“WMIIC”), a Delaware corporation. As of the Petition Date (defined below), WMIIC held a variety of securities and investments. Upon emergence from bankruptcy on March 19, 2012, we had no operations other than WMMRC’s legacy reinsurance business which is being operated in runoff and has not written any new business since September 26, 2008.

WMMRC

WMMRC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of WMIHC. Prior to August 2008 (at which time WMMRC became a direct subsidiary of WMI), WMMRC was a wholly-owned subsidiary of FA Out-of-State Holdings, Inc., a second-tier subsidiary of Washington Mutual Bank (“WMB”) and third-tier subsidiary of WMI. WMMRC is a pure captive insurance company domiciled in the State of Hawaii. WMMRC was incorporated on February 25, 2000, and received a Certificate of Authority, dated March 2, 2000, from the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Hawaii.

WMMRC was organized to reinsure private mortgage insurance risk for seven primary mortgage insurers then offering private mortgage insurance on loans originated or purchased by certain former subsidiaries of WMI. The seven primary mortgage insurers are United Guaranty Residential Insurance Company (“UGRIC”), Genworth Mortgage Insurance Corporation (“GMIC”), Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corporation (“MGIC”), PMI Mortgage Insurance Company (“PMI”), Radian Guaranty Incorporated (“Radian”), Republic Mortgage Insurance Company (“RMIC”) and Triad Guaranty Insurance Company (“Triad”).

Due to deteriorating performance in the mortgage guarantee markets and the closure and receivership of WMB, the reinsurance agreements with each of the primary mortgage insurers were terminated or placed into runoff during 2008. The agreements with UGRIC and Triad were terminated effective May 31, 2008. The agreements with all other primary mortgage insurers were placed into runoff effective September 26, 2008. As a result, effective September 26, 2008, WMMRC ceased assuming new mortgage risks from the primary carriers. Consequently, WMMRC’s continuing operations consist solely of the runoff of coverage associated with mortgages placed with the primary mortgage carriers prior to September 26, 2008. In runoff, an insurer generally writes no new business but continues to service its obligations under in force policies and otherwise continues as a licensed insurer. Management does not believe any additional adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities which have been recorded at fair market value as reported in these financial statements are required as a result of WMMRC’s runoff status.

The reinsurance agreements with Triad and PMI were commuted on August 31, 2009 and October 2, 2012, respectively. The PMI transaction resulted in a loss from contract termination of $6.2 million dollars in the current period. In accordance with the commutation agreement between WMMRC and PMI, the trust assets were distributed in a manner such that PMI received $49.0 million in cash and WMMRC received all remaining trust assets equal to approximately $30.7 million.

 

WMIIC

WMIIC does not currently have any operations and is fully eliminated upon consolidation. Prior to September 26, 2008, WMIIC held a variety of securities and investments; however, such securities and investments were liquidated and the value thereof distributed in connection with implementing the Plan as described in Note 2: Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, below.
