BACKGROUND / DISCLAIMER

This Quarterly Summary Report of WMI Liquidating Trust (the “Trust”), as successor-in-interest to Washington Mutual, Inc. (“WMI”) and WMI Investment Corp. (together referred to as the “Debtors”), to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (“Bankruptcy Court”) covering the period from July 1, 2019 through September 30, 2019, was prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the quarterly operating guidelines as described in the Chapter 11 Trustee Handbook, United States Department of Justice, May 2004 in accordance with 28 U.S.C. §1746(2). This Quarterly Summary Report is limited in scope, covers only a limited time period, and is not intended to serve as a basis for investment in any security of any issuer. This Quarterly Summary Report was prepared in accordance with liquidation basis accounting. The financial data reflected in this document is not audited or reviewed by an independent registered public accounting firm and is subject to future adjustment and reconciliation. Given its special purpose and limited scope, this report does not include all adjustments and notes that would be required to be reported in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as adopted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Results set forth in the Quarterly Summary Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results. This disclaimer applies to all information contained herein.

On September 26, 2008 (the “Petition Date”), the Debtors commenced voluntary cases under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code with the Bankruptcy Court. Prior to the Petition Date, on September 25, 2008, the Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) as receiver for Washington Mutual Bank (“WMB”), a subsidiary of WMI, and advised WMI that the receiver was immediately taking possession of WMB’s assets. Immediately after its appointment as receiver, the FDIC sold substantially all the assets of WMB, including the stock of Washington Mutual Bank fsb, to JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPMC”), pursuant to that certain Purchase and Assumption Agreement, Whole Bank, dated September 25, 2008.

The Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Seventh Amended Joint Plan of Affiliated Debtors Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code that the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court on December 12, 2011 (and as subsequently amended and modified from time to time, the “Plan”), by order, dated February 23, 2012 (the “Confirmation Order”) [D.I. 9759]. After the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described in the Plan, the transactions contemplated by the Plan were consummated on March 19, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), and, on March 23, 2012, the Debtors made initial distributions to creditors pursuant to the Plan (the “Initial Distribution”). WMI emerged on the Effective Date as a newly reorganized company, WMIH Corp. (formerly known as WMI Holdings Corp, “Reorganized WMI”).¹

In addition, the Plan provided for the creation of the Trust, which was formed on March 6, 2012, pursuant to the execution of a liquidating trust agreement, dated March 6, 2012, by and among the Debtors, William C. Kosturos, as the liquidating trustee (the “Liquidating Trustee”), and Delaware Trust Company (formerly known as CSC Trust Company of Delaware) as the Delaware resident trustee (the “Resident Trustee”) (as amended, the “Liquidating Trust Agreement”). On or shortly after the Effective Date, certain of the Debtors’ assets were transferred to the Trust for the benefit of those stakeholders who were not paid in full in the Initial Distribution or whose claims remain disputed. The Trust is a successor-in-interest to the Debtors pursuant to the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement. The Trust had an initial term of three years from the Effective Date, subject to extension for up to an additional three (3) years (subject to certain limited exceptions) with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court. On January 5, 2015, the Trust filed a motion for an order authorizing a three-year extension of the term of the Trust (the “Extension Motion”). On January 23, 2015, the Extension Motion was approved by the Bankruptcy Court, extending the Trust’s term for a period up to March 19, 2018. Administration of the Trust is not complete, with claims remaining to be reconciled and certain assets remaining to be collected. Accordingly, the Trust filed a request with the Internal Revenue Service and on November 21, 2017, the IRS notified the Trust that extension of the Trust’s term will not adversely affect the determination that the Trust is a liquidating trust and ruled that the term of the Trust may be extended up to an additional three years (i.e. through March 19, 2021). Thereupon, the Trust filed a corresponding motion with the Bankruptcy Court to extend the term of the Trust to such date. On December 20, 2017, and without objection of any party, the Bankruptcy Court approved the motion to extend the term of the Trust.

¹	The Trust understands that Reorganized WMI changed its name to Mr. Cooper Group Inc. on or about October 9, 2018.

As successor-in-interest to WMI, the Trust bears the responsibility for reporting to the Bankruptcy Court. The Trust reports in accordance with liquidation basis accounting, which requires the reporting entity to report its assets and liabilities based on net realizable values, or the cash the Trust expects to receive for its assets. For purposes of the Quarterly Summary Reports, management has used the fair market values assigned to the assets for tax reporting purposes. Valuation of assets requires management to make difficult estimates and judgments. Estimates necessarily require assumptions, and changes in such assumptions over time could materially affect the results. Due to the inherently uncertain nature of estimates and underlying assumptions, the actual cash to be received by the Trust from liquidation of assets and liabilities will likely be different than reported. Ongoing adjustments and reconciliations will be reflected in future Quarterly Summary Reports filed with the Bankruptcy Court (which the Trust files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or “SEC,” under cover of Form 8-K), and in the Trust’s modified annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for each fiscal year ending December 31.

However, the information is not complete and should be read in conjunction with the Plan and Disclosure Statement.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms have the same meaning as defined in the Plan)

Note 1: Establishing the Trust

The Plan provides for the creation of the Trust. On or shortly after the Effective Date, certain of the Debtors’ assets were transferred to the Trust for the benefit of those stakeholders who were not paid in full as part of the Initial Distribution made on or about March 23, 2012, or whose claim was disputed or otherwise unresolved. The Trust is and will continue to be responsible for liquidating, converting to cash, and distributing the Trust’s assets to the Trust’s beneficiaries. The beneficiaries have received, and will continue to receive, under certain circumstances as specified by the Plan, beneficial interests in the Trust in exchange for their unpaid claims against or equity interests in the Debtors (“Liquidating Trust Interests” or “LTIs”). The LTIs are not transferable except by will, intestate succession or operation of law. The outstanding balance for LTIs as of September 30, 2019 is zero. See also the “Rollforward of Liquidating Trust Interest” included in this report. See also Note 5.

Creditors who held unpaid claims as of the Effective Date and who were projected to receive recoveries under the Plan as of such date have received or will receive LTIs for their unpaid Allowed Claims entitling them to distributions from or by the Trust in accordance with the subordination provisions of the Plan. If distributions from the Trust become available to creditors and former holders of equity securities issued by WMI who provided timely releases in accordance with the plan, and have not received LTIs, additional LTIs will be issued to effectuate future distributions.

In addition, the Liquidating Trustee administers the Disputed Claims Reserve (“DCR”). Holders of claims that have not been allowed did not receive cash or LTIs as part of the Initial Distribution, and such assets were transferred to the DCR pending resolution of claims. Since the Effective Date, the DCR balances have changed due to the disallowance or allowance of disputed claims as well as payment on behalf of LTIs held by the DCR.

The Trust, as a liquidating trust, is intended to qualify as a grantor trust for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. A grantor trust is generally not treated as a separate taxpaying entity (i.e., it is treated as a pass-thru entity); as such, we do not anticipate that the Trust will be subject to U.S. federal or state income taxation. See Note 4.

Note 2: Liquidation Basis Accounting

Given the liquidating nature of the Trust, management is reporting its financial statements using liquidation basis accounting, consistent with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-30 (“ASC 205-30”). Liquidation basis accounting may be considered GAAP for entities that do not intend to continue as a going concern.

Key elements of liquidation basis accounting as set forth in ASC 205-30 include:

•

Presentation of an entity’s expected resources in liquidation by measuring and presenting assets at the amount of the expected cash proceeds from liquidation.

•

An entity should recognize and measure its liabilities in accordance with U.S. GAAP that otherwise applies to those liabilities.

•

Instead of a balance sheet and income statement, the Trust provides a Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation and Statement of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation. The Statement of Net Assets should report assets and liabilities at the amount of cash expected to be received or paid in liquidation. Such a report is inherently uncertain, as it is based on estimates and assumptions. The cash amounts actually received and paid could be materially different than the reported balances.

•

The entity is required to accrue and separately present the costs that it expects to incur, and the income that it expects to earn, during the expected duration of liquidation, including any costs associated with the sale or settlement of those assets and liabilities.

On the Effective Date, the Trust recorded a liability (the “Operating Reserve”)² of $40.0 million to operate the Trust. Due to the passage of time and the complex nature of certain litigation and claims reconciliation, the actual and expected operating costs have increased over time. As part of the Trust’s annual budgeting process for the 2019 fiscal year (and consistent with its prior practice), management reevaluated the ongoing operations of the Trust, including costs and expenses that management expects will be needed to litigate the Trust’s objections to remaining unliquidated disputed claims, defend remaining appeals associated with prior claims settlements, monetize the Trust’s remaining assets and administer the Trust’s tax and reporting requirements. During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, the Trust incurred operating expenses of $1.7 million. Based on the approved budget and current operating conditions, management estimates total expenses for the remainder of the Trust’s term to be approximately $10.2 million. The Trust currently estimates total costs, from the Effective Date through the end of the Trust, to be $110.6 million.

Note 3: Motion to Close Chapter 11 Cases

The chapter 11 cases of the Debtors are substantially complete with all assets having been marshalled and all claims resolved. The only material pending action includes collecting the B&O Tax Receivable (See Note 6) and initiating final distributions to relevant beneficiaries of the Trust. The Trust intends to file an application with the Bankruptcy Court to close the chapter 11 cases of the Debtors in November 2019, with a hearing date scheduled for December 19, 2019, which date may be subject to change.

Shortly after the Court enters the order to close the chapter 11 cases, the Trust intends to make one final cash distribution to holders of Class 18 Allowed Claims (See Note 5), and redistribute shares in the Disputed Equity Escrow (See Note 7). Any outstanding LTIs and escrow markers will be canceled.

Subsequent to the Bankruptcy Court approving the closure of the chapter 11 cases, the Trust will remain open for a period of time in order to wind-up its operations. Following a final distribution of cash to relevant beneficiaries of the Trust, no additional distributions (of cash or equity in Reorganized WMI) will be made. As provided for in the Plan and Liquidating Trust Agreement, any funds remaining on hand immediately prior to the dissolution of the Trust will be donated to one or more charitable organizations.

It should be noted that the actual timing associated with all of the foregoing actions may be subject to change due to many factors, including, but not limited to a delay by the Bankruptcy Court approving the closure of the chapter 11 cases, tax audits, delays in collecting the B&O tax refund (See Note 6), and/or the refiling of a prior disputed claim.

Note 4: Distributions to LTI Holders

The Plan and Liquidating Trust Agreement contemplate that the Trust will make distributions on at least a quarterly basis, subject to the availability of distributable cash and certain exceptions.

The Trust intends to make one final distribution after the Bankruptcy Court enters an order to close the chapter 11 cases of the Debtors (See Note 3). As of September 30, 2019, Allowed Subordinated Claims total $38.2 million, plus $9.0 million in post-petition interest. Therefore, in accordance with the Plan, the final distribution, when paid, will be to holders of Allowed Class 18 Claims.

Because the aforementioned final distribution will be made after the closure of the chapter 11 cases, no distribution will be made on November 1, 2019, the next regularly scheduled Distribution Date.

²	On the balance sheet, the item titled “Estimated cost to operate trust” is herein referred to as “the Operating Reserve.”

Note 5: Disputed Claims Reserve

From and after the Effective Date, the Trust retains, for the benefit of each holder of a disputed claim, cash, LTIs, as well as any dividends, gains or income attributable in respect of any of the foregoing. The amounts retained are calculated as if each of the claims were an Allowed Claim in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the liquidated amount set forth in the filed proof of Claim relating to such Disputed Claim, (ii) the amount in which the Disputed Claim shall be estimated by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code and constitutes and represents the maximum amount in which such Claim may ultimately become an Allowed Claim, and (iii) such other amount as may be agreed upon by the holder of such Disputed Claim and the Liquidating Trustee; provided, however, that the recovery by any holder of a Disputed Claim shall not exceed the lesser of (i), (ii), and (iii) above.

Pursuant to the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the Liquidating Trustee (A) treats the DCR as a “disputed ownership fund” governed by Treasury Regulation section 1.468B-9 (and will make any appropriate elections) and (B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, reports consistently with the foregoing for state and local income tax purposes. Accordingly, the DCR is a separate taxable entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and all distributions from such reserve are taxable to the reserve as if sold at fair market value. Any distributions from the DCR will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if received directly by the recipient from the Debtors on the original claim or equity interest of such recipient.

As of September 30, 2019, there are no filed disputed claims. Therefore, the Statement of Net Assets reflects a balance of $0 for DCR assets.

As discussed in Note 4, value is available to Class 18 Subordinated Claims, subject to the final treatment of a claim that was removed from the registry due to a stipulation executed in May 2012. Per such stipulation, the claimants could refile their claim once value is available to Class 18 Subordinated Claims. It is unknown whether such claim will be refiled. Funds held at the Trust may be placed in the DCR in accordance with the distribution mechanics set forth in the Plan, if such claim is refiled prior to the closure of the cases.

Note 6: Global Settlement Agreement / Other Taxes Receivable

Pursuant to the Plan and the Global Settlement Agreement with JPMC and the FDIC, the Trust and JPMC share in all future net tax refunds payable on account of consolidated federal income tax returns and on account of consolidated, combined, or unitary state returns filed by WMI and its subsidiaries (the “WMI Group”) for all tax years prior to 2009 on a 20% / 80% pro rata basis, respectively. On the Effective Date, there were two litigation actions pending with respect to claimed federal income tax refunds and there were several state tax refunds pending from certain states. An escrow account (the “Tax Refund Escrow”) was established to accumulate net tax refunds in accordance with the terms of the Global Settlement Agreement (“GSA”). The value of these tax litigations is now $0 and no further action is anticipated. Taking into account the results of tax litigation, and various other items including the close out of the Tax Refund Escrow account, the balance of $7.4 million represents management’s estimate of the activities remaining regarding other taxes receivable.

On October 9, 2019, the remaining balance in the Tax Refund Escrow account was distributed to the participants. The Trust received $3.2 million. No further activity, other than a small amount of interest to be received, is anticipated relative to the Tax Refund Escrow.

The State of Washington owes the Trust approximately $4.3 million of Business & Occupancy (“B&O”) tax refunds, which includes interest, for the 2004 and 2005 tax years. Such taxes were paid by WMI individually and not paid by the WMI Group; therefore, such refunds are not subject to the allocation formula set forth in the GSA.

As of September 30, 2019, the aggregate estimated value of the tax receivable asset is $7.4 million which reflects the October 9, 2019 distribution from the Tax Refund Escrow and the principal and interest calculated for the B&O tax refund.

Note 7: Disputed Equity Escrow

In addition to the DCR, the Plan established a Disputed Equity Escrow (“DEE”) to hold shares of Reorganized WMI common stock for distribution based on the resolution of disputed equity interests. The shares and any cash that may be distributed on behalf of the shares are held in a separate escrow account that is not recorded as an asset of the Trust. The Liquidating Trustee is the escrow agent for the DEE. The DEE is taxed in a similar manner to the DCR (see description above). All expenses of administering the DEE (other than taxes) are borne by the Trust. Costs incurred cumulative-to-date total $7,500.

During the quarter, the Trust resolved all remaining disputed equity claim. Therefore, the DEE will be in a position to redistribute the remaining shares, net of any shares that are sold to pay tax obligations. The shares currently held are held on behalf of former common shareholder interests (Class 22). Therefore, any redistribution will only be made to Class 22. Furthermore, consistent with prior distributions and pursuant to the Plan, no fractional shares (nor any cash-in-lieu of fractional shares) will be distributed. Due to the minimal number shares in the DEE, and the fact that the DEE Agreement does not contemplate the issuance of fractional shares or the payment of cash-in-lieu of fractional shares, substantially fewer legacy common shareholders will receive shares in the redistribution.

Holders of equity interests who timely returned required releases and documentation were given “escrow markers” to effectuate a redistribution, if any, of shares of Reorganized WMI common stock. Such escrow markers will be canceled after the final redistribution described above.

In conjunction with the final distribution from the DEE and the pending close of the cases, the Trust performed an internal tax review of the DEE. In this review, it was determined that the DEE owed federal income taxes due to the increased value of the shares of common stock that were redistributed in August 2015. In October 2019, the DEE monetized approximately 38,000 shares of Reorganized WMI common stock in order to satisfy the related tax liability. After giving effect to the foregoing, approximately 91,000 shares of Reorganized WMI common stock remained on deposit in the escrow. The Trust has filed returns for the DEE and awaits a response as to any additional assessment and whether related share monetization is required. The Trust will then make its final redistribution, close the escrow and cancel the “escrow markers”.

Note 8: Former Claimant Appeal

On March 22, 2019, a purported legacy shareholder of Washington Mutual, Inc., filed that certain First Omnibus Objection (Substantive) of Alice Griffin, Class 19 Interest Holder, to Claims (Nos. 3935 and 4045) Allowed Pursuant to a Stipulation Dated March 28, 2013 Between WMI Liquidating Trust and Morgan Stanley & Co., Incorporated, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, and Goldman Sachs & Co. on Behalf of Themselves and Certain Underwriters (the “Griffin Objection”). By way of background, in February 2011, the Bankruptcy Court approved a stipulation among the Trust and the underwriters of certain debt and preferred equity securities issued by WMI. Pursuant to such stipulation, the underwriter’s claims were subordinated and classified as a claim or equity interest against the estate, as the case may be. Subsequently, in 2013, the Trust entered into a settlement (the “UW Settlement”) with such underwriters, which, among other things, removed a $24 million claim which otherwise would have been senior in right of recovery to holders in Classes 19, 20 and 21 and designated such underwriters’ remaining claims as “allowed” claims. Consistent with powers granted to the Liquidating Trustee in the Liquidating Trust Agreement and Plan, the UW Settlement with the underwriters was not submitted to the Bankruptcy Court for approval. Relatedly, management, in consultation with counsel, determined that the terms of the UW Settlement were immaterial and did not trigger a Form 8-K disclosure; however, the UW Settlement and the principal terms thereof were disclosed by the Trust three days after the consummation thereof in the Trust’s Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2012.

Among other things, the Griffin Objection asked the Bankruptcy Court to disallow the underwriters’ Class 19 Claim in its [sic] entirety; and to declare the UW Settlement “invalid, null, and void”. On April 22, 2019, Bankruptcy Judge Walrath heard oral argument regarding the Griffin Objection and following such argument, the Bankruptcy Court denied the Griffin Objection, finding that the UW Settlement was entered into by the parties in good faith, constituted a valid and appropriate exercise by the Liquidating Trustee of his powers and was (and continues to be) a settlement that was in the best interests of the Trust and its beneficiaries. Relatedly, Bankruptcy Judge Walrath also ruled that in entering into the UW Settlement, none of the Trust, the Liquidating Trustee, the Trust’s management or the TAB had breached any fiduciary duties to the Trust’s beneficiaries, despite allegations by Ms. Griffin to the contrary. Ms. Griffin has appealed from the Bankruptcy Court decision to the Delaware District Court and the matter is currently being briefed by the parties. The merits of the appeal have been fully briefed and the matter is sub judice.
