Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Service Agreements and Related Party Transactions | Note 6: Service Agreements and Related Party Transactions WMMRC has engaged a Hawaiian-based service provider, Marsh Management Services, Inc., to provide accounting and related management services for its operations. In exchange for performing these services, WMMRC pays such service provider a management fee. WMIHC entered into an Investment Management Agreement and an Administrative Services Agreement with WMMRC on March 19, 2012. Each of these agreements was approved by WMMRC’s primary regulator. Total amounts incurred under these agreements totaled $1.2 million and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The expense and related income eliminate on consolidation. These agreements are described below. Under the terms of such Investment Management Agreement, WMIHC receives from WMMRC a fee equal to the product of (x) the ending dollar amount of assets under management during the calendar month in question and (y) .002 divided by 12. WMIHC is responsible for investing the funds of WMMRC based on applicable investment criteria and subject to rules and regulations to which WMMRC is subject. Under the terms of such Administrative Services Agreement, WMIHC receives from WMMRC a fee of $110 thousand per month. WMIHC is responsible for providing administrative services to support, among other things, supervision, governance, financial administration and reporting, risk management and claims management as may be necessary, together with such other general or specific administrative services that may be reasonably required or requested by WMMRC in the ordinary course of its business. On March 23, 2012, WMIHC and the WMI Liquidating Trust (the “Trust”) entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the “TSA”). Pursuant to the TSA, each party makes available certain services and employees. The TSA provides the Company with office space for its current employees and basic infrastructure and administrative services to support the Company’s operations. The TSA provides the Trust with access to certain of the Company’s employees. The TSA was amended on September 18, 2012 and the term of the agreement was initially extended through June 30, 2013 with automatic renewals thereafter for successive additional three-month terms, subject to non-renewal at the end of any additional term upon written notice by either party at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the additional term. The agreement has automatically renewed per its terms and is currently in place through December 31, 2014, subject to additional renewals. Either party may terminate one or more of the services offered upon ten (10) days’ written notice to the other party. In connection with implementing the Plan, certain holders of specified “Allowed Claims” had the right to elect to receive such holder’s “Pro Rata Share of the Common Stock Allotment.” Essentially, the Plan defines the “Pro Rata Share of the Common Stock Allotment” as a pro rata share of ten million (10,000,000) shares of WMIHC’s common stock (i.e. five percent (5%)) issued and outstanding on the Effective Date. 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.
