Restriction on Distribution of Net Assets from Subsidiary

Note 12: Restriction on Distribution of Net Assets from Subsidiary

WMMRC has net assets totaling $145.0 million and $167.0 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. These net assets are not immediately available for distribution to WMIHC due to restrictions imposed by trust agreements, and the requirement that the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Hawaii must approve dividends from WMMRC. Distributions from WMMRC to WMIHC are further restricted by the terms of the Runoff Notes described in Note 8: Notes Payable.
