The Company and its Subsidiaries | 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 described below, WMIHC is a successor to WMI, as and to the extent described in the Plan (defined below). Prior to September 26, 2008 (the “Petition Date”), WMI was a multiple savings and loan holding company that owned Washington Mutual Bank (“WMB”) and, indirectly, WMB’s subsidiaries, including Washington Mutual Bank fsb (“FSB”). As of the Petition Date, WMI also owned, directly or indirectly, several non-banking, non-debtor subsidiaries. Prior to the Petition Date, WMI was subject to regulation and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”). WMB and FSB, in turn, as depository institutions with federal thrift charters, were subject to regulation and examination by the OTS. In addition, WMI’s banking and non-banking subsidiaries were overseen by various federal and state authorities, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). On September 25, 2008, the OTS, by order number 2008-36, closed WMB, appointed the FDIC as receiver for WMB (the “FDIC Receiver”) and advised that the FDIC Receiver was immediately taking possession of WMB’s assets. Immediately after its appointment as receiver, the FDIC Receiver sold substantially all the assets of WMB, including the stock of FSB, to JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPMC”), pursuant to that certain Purchase and Assumption Agreement, Whole Bank, effective September 25, 2008, in exchange for payment of $1.88 billion and the assumption of all of WMB’s deposit liabilities. As a result of this transaction, substantially all of the business and accounting records of WMI became the property of JPMC and WMIHC had extremely limited access to such records. The foregoing notwithstanding, over time, limited access to such records was obtained through information sharing arrangements. Access to WMMRC’s historical records was not significantly affected by WMB’s closure and receivership. On the Petition Date, WMI and WMIIC (together, referred to herein as the “Debtors”) each filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”) (Case No.08-12229 (MFW)). On December 12, 2011, the Debtors filed with the Court the Seventh Amended Joint Plan of Affiliated Debtors Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Filed Plan”) and a related disclosure statement. The Filed Plan was subsequently modified and, on February 24, 2012, the Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Filed Plan as modified by such modifications (the “Plan”). On March 19, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), the Plan became effective and we emerged from bankruptcy with a new Board of Directors and certain new officers. In connection with the Plan becoming effective, among other things:
— | approximately $6.5 billion was distributed to parties-in-interest on account of their allowed claims;
— | WMIHC received $75.0 million in cash from certain creditors;
— | WMIHC obtained access to a $125.0 million senior credit facility, approximately $25.0 million of which can be used for working capital and $100.0 million of which can be utilized in addition to the amount available for working capital for certain acquisitions and originations, subject to certain criteria and conditions set forth in the Financing Agreement (see Note 9: Financing Arrangements);
— | WMIHC issued: (a) $110.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 13% Senior First Lien Notes due 2030 (the “First Lien Notes”) under an indenture, dated as of March 19, 2012 (the “First Lien Indenture”), between WMIHC and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee; and (b) $20.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 13% Senior Second Lien Notes due 2030 (the “Second Lien Notes” and, together with the First Lien Notes, the “Runoff Notes”) under an indenture, dated as of March 19, 2012 (the “Second Lien Indenture” and, together with the First Lien Indenture, the “Indentures”), between WMIHC and Law Debenture Trust Company of New York, as Trustee; and with limited exceptions the Runoff Notes are solely payable from Runoff Proceeds Distributions (as defined in the Indentures) received by WMIHC from WMMRC, and therefore are generally nonrecourse to WMIHC (see Note 8: Notes Payable);
— | WMIHC issued 200,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 194,670,501 shares were issued to new WMIHC shareholders and 5,329,499 shares of common stock were issued and deposited into a Disputed Equity Escrow (as defined in the Plan); and
— | based on our analysis, we believe WMIHC experienced an ownership change under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). Prior to emergence, WMI abandoned the stock of WMB, thereby generating a worthless stock deduction of approximately $8.37 billion, which gives rise to a net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forward for the year ended December 31, 2012. We believe that the total available and utilizable NOL carry forward at December 31, 2014 was approximately $6.00 billion and at December 31, 2014 we believe that there was no limit under Section 382 of the Code on the use of these NOLs (see Note 6: Income Taxes).
Upon emergence from bankruptcy on March 19, 2012, we had limited 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. WMIHC is authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock, and up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock (in one or more series), in each case with a par value of $0.00001 per share. On the Effective Date of the Plan and pursuant to its terms, WMIHC issued 200,000,000 shares of common stock, with 194,670,501 shares issued to WMIHC’s new shareholders and 5,329,499 shares issued and deposited into the Disputed Equity Escrow. As of December 31, 2014, 2,921,555 shares of common stock remain on deposit in the Disputed Equity Escrow. As of December 31, 2014, 202,343,245 shares of WMIHC’s common stock were issued and outstanding. On January 30, 2014, 1,000,000 shares of WMIHC’s preferred stock were issued in conjunction with the KKR Transaction, described in Note 8: Financing Arrangements, and remain outstanding as of December 31, 2014. 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 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 originally organized to reinsure private mortgage insurance risk for seven primary mortgage insurers then offering private mortgage insurance on loans originated or purchased by 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 the then 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 placed into runoff 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 were recorded at fair market value as a result of fresh start accounting as of March 19, 2012 are required as a result of WMMRC’s runoff status. The reinsurance agreements with Triad, PMI, and UGRIC were commuted on August 31, 2009, October 2, 2012 and April 3, 2014, respectively. 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.
