Holders exercising the foregoing election did so in lieu of receiving (i) 50% of such holder’s interest in and to certain litigation proceeds that could be realized by the Trust on account of certain claims and causes of action asserted by the Trust as contemplated by the Plan (“Litigation Proceeds”), and (ii) some or all of the Runoff Notes to which such holder may be entitled (if such holder elected to receive Runoff Notes in accordance with the terms of the Plan). If a holder exercised the election described above and, as a result of such election, received shares of WMIHC’s common stock, then such holder’s share of Runoff Notes to which the election was effective (i.e., One Dollar ($1.00) of original principal amount of Runoff Notes for each share of WMIHC’s common stock) were not issued. In addition, as a result of making the aforementioned election, such holders conveyed to WMIHC, and WMIHC retains an economic interest in, the Litigation Proceeds equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Litigation Proceeds to which the electing holder otherwise would have been entitled and such holder’s rights in respect of distributions from the Trust will be adjusted to the extent Litigation Proceeds are received by WMIHC). Distributions, if any, to WMIHC on account of the foregoing will be effected in accordance with the Plan and Confirmation Order. In connection with the foregoing, in its Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2013, the Trust’s Litigation Subcommittee disclosed that it has investigated potential claims against various third parties, including breach of contract claims, breach of fiduciary duty claims, professional malpractice claims and business tort and antitrust claims. In such disclosure, the Trust indicated that, based on its investigation, the Litigation Subcommittee had determined not to assert claims against such third parties, other than those which are currently pending and being litigated. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company is aware that on or about October 14, 2014, the Trust filed a lawsuit in King County Superior Court in the State of Washington against 16 former directors and officers of WMI (the “WMI D&O Litigation”). The Trust’s complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants named therein breached their fiduciary duties to WMI and committed corporate waste and fraud by squandering WMI’s financial resources. This litigation is managed and controlled by the Trust. The Company is not involved in the WMI D&O Litigation and expresses no view with respect to the merits of the claims asserted therein or the likelihood of any recovery. As of September 30, 2014, WMIHC had not received any Litigation Proceeds in connection with the foregoing and, there can be no assurance that WMIHC will receive any value or distributions on account of Litigation Proceeds.
