Note 10: Pending Litigation

As of June 30, 2018, the Company was not a party to, or aware of, any material pending legal proceedings or investigations requiring disclosure at this time.

On May 8, 2018 a purported class action lawsuit, styled as Franchi v. Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc., et al., Case No. 3:18-cv-01170-B, was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas naming Nationstar, WMIH, Wand Merger Corporation and the individual members of the Nationstar board of directors as defendants.  The complaint alleges that the defendants violated the Exchange Act by disseminating a false and misleading registration statement. The lawsuit seeks a variety of equitable and injunctive relief including, among other things, enjoining the consummation of the Merger, rescinding the Merger to the extent already implemented, directing the defendants to disseminate a registration statement that does not contain any untrue statement of material fact, declaring the defendants violated the Exchange Act, and awarding plaintiffs costs and attorneys’ fees.  

On June 26, 2018, the plaintiff and the defendants (together, the “Parties”) entered into a memorandum of understanding (the “MOU”) to resolve the claims asserted by the plaintiff. Pursuant to the MOU, the Parties agreed that the defendants would cause to be made the supplemental disclosures set forth in the Form 8-K filed by the defendants on June 26, 2018. The MOU further specifies that, within five (5) business days of the closing of Merger, the Parties will file a stipulation of dismissal of the action pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a). That stipulation will dismiss plaintiff’s individual claims with prejudice, and dismiss the claims purportedly asserted on behalf of a putative class of Nationstar shareholders without prejudice. The MOU will not affect the timing of the Merger or the amount or form of consideration to be paid in the Merger. The defendants believe that the action is without merit.
