EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K of WMIH Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “WMIH”, “we”, “our” or “us”) for the year ended December 31, 2017, originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 2, 2018 (the “Original Filing”).

This Amendment is being filed for the purpose of providing the information required by Items 10 through 14 of Part III of Form 10-K. This information was previously omitted from the Original Filing in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which permits the above-referenced Items to be incorporated in an annual report on Form 10-K by reference from a definitive proxy statement, if such definitive proxy statement is filed no later than 120 days after the registrant’s fiscal year end.

On February 12, 2018, WMIH, Wand Merger Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of WMIH, and Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Nationstar”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth therein, Wand Merger Corporation will merge with and into Nationstar (the “Merger”), with Nationstar continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of WMIH. The Merger is expected to close in the second half of 2018, subject to approval by WMIH’s and Nationstar’s shareholders and other customary closing conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals. For further information, see the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed on March 23, 2018.

Given the expected timing for the closing of the Merger, we are filing this Amendment to include Part III information because WMIH no longer intends to file a definitive proxy statement within 120 days of December 31, 2017, the end of our fiscal year. Except as otherwise specifically defined herein, all defined terms used in this Amendment shall have the same meaning as in the Original Filing.

In accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Exchange Act, Items 10 through 14 of Part III of the Original Filing are hereby amended and restated in their entirety. Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Exchange Act, currently-dated certifications from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are filed as Exhibits to this Amendment, as required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. Except as otherwise indicated herein, this Amendment continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and WMIH has not updated the disclosures contained in the Original Filing to reflect any events that occurred subsequent to the date thereof. The disclosures contained in the Original Filing are provided as of the date of such disclosures.

Committees and Meetings of the WMIH Board of Directors

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, the board of directors (the “Board”) held 18 formal meetings. The Board has established four standing committees: an audit committee, compensation committee, corporate strategy and development committee and nominating and corporate governance committee. In 2017, the Board established a finance committee, which is described in more detail below. Each director attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings held by the Board and the committees of the Board on which he or she served during fiscal year 2017 (or such portion of the year during which such director served on the Board).

The Board, following a recommendation by the WMIH nominating and corporate governance committee, has adopted a policy with respect to board member attendance at annual stockholder meetings. In accordance with such policy, the Board encourages all directors to make attendance at the WMIH annual meeting a priority. Last year, all directors, other than those not seeking reelection and who were members of the Board at the time of the annual meeting, were in attendance in person or by telephone at the WMIH annual meeting of stockholders.

Audit Committee

WMIH has a standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. The WMIH audit committee is governed by a written charter, a current copy of which is available on WMIH’s website at www.wmih-corp.com. In 2017, the WMIH audit committee collaborated with the WMIH finance committee to evaluate and approve the amendment of the terms of WMIH Series B preferred stock and other WMIH acquisition and financing activities. The WMIH audit committee held 7 meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

Michael L. Willingham (Chair), Diane B. Glossman, Michael J. Renoff and Steven D. Scheiwe, each of whom meets the financial literacy and independence requirements for audit committee membership specified in the NASDAQ listing standards and rules adopted by the SEC, are the current members of the WMIH audit committee. The Board has determined that each member is qualified to be an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in the SEC’s rules.

The WMIH audit committee’s duties and responsibilities include: (a) selection, retention, compensation, evaluation, replacement and oversight of WMIH’s independent registered public accounting firm, including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditors regarding financial reporting; (b) establishment of policies and procedures for the review and pre-approval of all audit services and permissible non-audit services to be performed by WMIH’s independent registered public accounting firm; (c) review and discuss with management and the independent auditors the annual audited financial statements (including the report of the independent auditor thereon) or quarterly unaudited financial statements contained in WMIH’s periodic reports with the SEC; (d) obtain and review a report from the independent registered public accounting firm describing WMIH’s internal quality control procedures; (e) periodic assessment of WMIH’s accounting practices and policies and risk and risk management; (f) review policies and procedures with respect to transactions between WMIH and related-persons and review and approve those related-person transactions that would be disclosed pursuant to SEC Regulation S-K, Item 404; (g) establishment of procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and for the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters, in each case, pursuant to and to the extent required by laws, rules and regulations applicable to us; and (h) oversight of the code of ethics for senior financial officers and development and monitoring of compliance with the code of conduct applicable to WMIH’s directors, officers and employees, in each case, pursuant to and to the extent required by laws, rules and regulations applicable to WMIH.

In connection with the consideration of a possible transaction with Nationstar (which we refer to as the “possible transaction”), pursuant to delegation by the Board, the WMIH audit committee was authorized, among other things, (i) to review and evaluate the terms and conditions and determine the advisability of the possible transaction; (ii) to make or accept, reject, or seek to modify the terms and conditions of the possible transaction; (iii) to determine whether the possible transaction is fair to and in the best interests of WMIH and its stockholders; (iv) to recommend to the Board whether to approve the possible transaction, whether the Board should recommend the possible transaction to WMIH’s stockholders and what other action, if any, should be taken by WMIH with respect to the possible transaction; (v) if the WMIH audit committee deems it appropriate or advisable, to negotiate the price, structure, form, terms and conditions of the possible transaction and the form, terms and conditions of any definitive agreements; (vi) to obtain any necessary or desirable opinions from legal, financial and other advisors; (vii) to take such other actions related to or arising in connection with the possible transactions as the WMIH audit committee deems necessary, appropriate or advisable, including as relates to exploring and negotiating alternatives to such possible transaction; and (viii) to provide reports and/or recommendations to the Board in regard to such matters at such time as the WMIH audit committee deems appropriate and consistent with its activities.

During the month of December 2017, in addition to its other responsibilities, the WMIH audit committee evaluated the terms of and determined the advisability of the possible transaction.

Compensation Committee

The members of the WMIH compensation committee are Diane B. Glossman (Chair), Steven D. Scheiwe and Michael L. Willingham, each of whom is an “independent director” as defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ listing standards. The WMIH compensation committee is governed by a written charter, a current copy of which is available on WMIH’s website at www.wmih-corp.com. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, the WMIH compensation committee held one meeting and otherwise elected to act on other business via unanimous written consent, as contemplated by its charter.

The Board has delegated to the WMIH compensation committee responsibility for considering and approving the compensation programs and awards for all of WMIH’s executive officers, including the named executive officers identified below under “—Summary Compensation Table”. The WMIH compensation committee consists entirely of independent, non-employee directors. The WMIH compensation committee is responsible for: (a) reviewing WMIH’s overall compensation philosophy and related compensation and benefit policies, programs and practices; (b) reviewing and approving goals and objectives relevant to compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and other executive officers; (c) reviewing and recommending equity compensation plans; (d) overseeing and reviewing the non-employee director compensation program; (e) reviewing and discussing with WMIH’s management the compensation discussion and analysis, if required by the Exchange Act and recommending it to the Board, if appropriate, for inclusion in WMIH’s proxy statement; and (f) monitoring compliance with applicable laws governing executive compensation.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The members of the WMIH nominating and corporate governance committee are Steve D. Scheiwe (Chair), Diane B. Glossman and Michael L. Willingham, each of whom is an “independent director” as defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ listing standards. The WMIH nominating and corporate governance committee is governed by a written charter, a current copy of which is available on WMIH’s website at www.wmih-corp.com. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, the WMIH nominating and corporate governance committee held at least one (1) meeting and otherwise elected to act on other business via unanimous written consent as contemplated by its charter.

The functions of the WMIH nominating and corporate governance committee are to carry out the duties and responsibilities delegated by the Board relating to WMIH’s director nominations process, oversight of the evaluation of directors and development and maintenance of WMIH’s corporate governance principles and policies. The committee is authorized by its charter to engage its own advisors. WMIH’s board is responsible for nominating members for election to WMIH’s board and for filling vacancies on the Board that may occur between annual meetings of stockholders. The WMIH nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for identifying, screening and recommending to WMIH’s board candidates for board membership. The committee recommended the nomination of the candidates reflected in the director election.

Nominees for director are selected on the basis of, among other things, knowledge, experience, skills, expertise, integrity, diversity, ability to make independent analytical inquiries, and understanding of WMIH’s business environment, all in the context of an assessment of the perceived needs of the Board at the time. Nominees should also be willing to devote adequate time and effort to board responsibilities. The WMIH nominating and corporate governance committee does not set specific, minimum qualifications that nominees must meet in order for the WMIH nominating and corporate governance committee to recommend them to the Board, but rather believes that each nominee should be evaluated based on his or her individual merit, taking into account the needs of WMIH and the composition of the Board. The WMIH nominating and corporate governance committee will consider WMIH stockholder recommendations for candidates to serve on the Board. Candidates suggested by WMIH stockholders will be evaluated by the same criteria and process as candidates from other sources. Formal nomination of candidates by WMIH stockholders requires compliance with Section 2.13 of the Bylaws, including sending timely notice of the candidate’s name, biographical information, and qualifications, and certain information regarding the WMIH stockholder making the nomination, to the Secretary of WMIH at WMIH Corp., 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 4100, Seattle, Washington 98104. In order for a notice of WMIH stockholder nomination to be considered timely, a WMIH stockholder must deliver the notice to the Secretary at WMIH’s principal executive offices no later than 90 calendar days and no earlier than 120 calendar days prior to the one-year anniversary of the date on which WMIH’s proxy statement was released to WMIH stockholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting of WMIH stockholders; provided, however, if the annual meeting of WMIH stockholders is convened more than 30 days prior to the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting or delayed by more than 30 days after the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting or if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, the notice by the WMIH stockholder must be received not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th calendar day before such annual meeting and the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. There is otherwise no formal process prescribed for identifying and evaluating nominees, including no formal diversity policy.

Corporate Strategy and Development Committee

The members of the WMIH CS&D committee are Tagar C. Olson (Chair), William C. Gallagher and Michael J. Renoff. In general, all directors are invited to attend meetings of the WMIH CS&D committee. The WMIH CS&D committee is governed by a written charter, a current copy of which is available on WMIH’s website at www.wmih-corp.com. Generally, the purpose of the WMIH CS&D committee has been to support the Board with the identification, review and assessment of potential acquisitions and strategic or business investment opportunities. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, the WMIH CS&D committee held at least four (4) formal and informal meetings and is actively engaged in pursuing acquisition opportunities for WMIH. Following the establishment of the WMIH finance committee (defined below) in 2017, the entire Board assumed the functions that were previously delegated to the CS&D Committee.

Finance Committee

The WMIH finance committee was established in 2017, the members were Diane B. Glossman, Michael J. Renoff, Steven J. Scheiwe and Michael L. Willingham, and the WMIH finance committee was authorized, among other things, to (i) review the long-term financial structure, objectives and policies of WMIH, and to make recommendations to the Board regarding such structure, objectives and policies, if appropriate, (ii) evaluate the financing requirements of WMIH and management’s proposed financing and refinancing plans and to recommend to the Board those actions, authorizations, filings and applications necessary and appropriate to enable management to execute such plans and (iii) consider and make recommendations to the Board regarding the terms, timing, amount and other material factors (e.g., potential dilution of existing stockholders and the impact of any financing or restructuring on WMIH’s tax attributes under Section 382 of the Code), related to the possible restructuring or amendment of WMIH stock, issuance of new equity securities in one or more private or public transactions, redemption of outstanding securities, or other transactions related to WMIH stock, capital structure or fundraising to meet WMIH’s future liquidity and capital resources needs, in each case as the WMIH finance committee deems appropriate.

During the second half of 2017, the WMIH finance committee focused its attention on restructuring and/or amending the terms of WMIH’s issued and outstanding Series B preferred stock. On December 8, 2017, WMIH amended the terms of the WMIH Series B preferred stock and such amendment became effective on January 5, 2018. For further information on the WMIH Series B preferred stock Financing, see Note 9: Capital Stock and Derivative Instruments and Note 15: Subsequent Events, to the consolidated financial information in Part II, Item 8 of the Original Filing.

Risk Management

WMIH has developed and maintains processes to manage risk in WMIH’s operations. The Board’s role in risk management is primarily one of oversight, with day-to-day responsibility for risk management implemented by the management team. The Board executes its oversight role directly and through its various committees. The WMIH audit committee has principal responsibility for implementing the Board’s risk management oversight role. The WMIH audit committee is also responsible for reviewing conflict of interest transactions and handling complaints about accounting and auditing matters and violations of WMIH’s code of conduct and code of ethics. Any waivers of the codes for executive officers and directors must be submitted to the Chair of the WMIH audit committee and may be made only by the Board. The WMIH audit committee monitors certain key risks, such as risk associated with internal control over financial reporting, liquidity risk and risks associated with potential business acquisitions, in addition to assessing the risks in WMIH’s proposed financing or investments. The WMIH compensation committee assesses risks created by the incentives inherent in WMIH’s compensation policies. Finally, the full Board reviews strategic and operational risk in the context of reports from the management team and the committees of the Board.

Leadership Structure

The positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer are held by two different individuals. The Board has determined that during his tenure, Mr. Scheiwe has been independent under the NASDAQ listing standards. The Board believes that this structure is appropriate for WMIH at this time. Except for the WMIH CS&D committee, on which Mr. Olson and Mr. Gallagher serve, each of WMIH’s board committees is made up solely of independent directors and sets its own agenda. The independent directors also meet in executive session on a regular basis without management present.

Code of Ethics

WMIH has adopted a code of ethics which is applicable to the Board and officers, including WMIH’s Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer and Controller. The WMIH code of ethics focuses on honest and ethical conduct, the adequacy of disclosure in WMIH’s financial reports, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. A current copy of the code of ethics is available on WMIH’s website at www.wmih-corp.com, and is administered by the WMIH audit committee.

Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors

Communications by WMIH stockholders to the Board should be sent to the attention of the Chairman of the Board, in care of Charles Edward Smith, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary, WMIH Corp., 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 4100, Seattle, Washington 98104. Such communications will be forwarded unopened to the individual serving as Chairman of the Board, who will be responsible for responding to or forwarding such communications as appropriate, including communications directed to individual directors or board committees. Communications will not be forwarded if the Chairman of the Board determines that they do not appear to be within the scope of the Board’s (or such other intended recipient’s) responsibilities or are otherwise inappropriate or frivolous.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires WMIH’s directors and officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the outstanding shares of WMIH Common Stock (“10% stockholders”) to file with the SEC initial reports of beneficial ownership (Form 3) and reports of changes in beneficial ownership (Forms 4 and 5) of such shares. To WMIH’s knowledge, based solely upon a review of the copies of Forms 3, 4 and 5 (and amendments thereto) furnished to WMIH or otherwise in its files or publicly available, all of WMIH’s officers, directors and 10% stockholders complied in a timely manner with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during the fiscal year ended 2017.

Item 11.

Executive Compensation.

Overview

This compensation discussion and analysis discusses the principles underlying WMIH’s executive compensation program and the important factors relevant to the analysis of the compensation of WMIH’s executive officers in 2017. WMIH’s Chief Executive Officer, Interim Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Legal Officer are referred to as WMIH’s “named executive officers”.

For 2017, WMIH’s named executive officers and their respective titles are as follows:

•

William C. Gallagher, Chief Executive Officer

•

Thomas L. Fairfield, President and Chief Operating Officer

•

Charles Edward Smith, Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary

•

Timothy F. Jaeger, Senior Vice President, Interim Chief Financial Officer and Interim Chief Accounting Officer

Compensation Objectives and Philosophy

The primary objectives of the 2017 executive compensation programs established by the WMIH compensation committee were to retain executive officers and employees capable of: (a) identifying and assessing potential acquisition opportunities; (b) ensuring WMIH’s compliance with debt-related agreements, to the extent applicable; (c) operating WMIH’s reinsurance subsidiary, WM Mortgage Reinsurance Company, Inc. (“WMMRC”), in runoff mode; and (d) complying with the periodic disclosure and other obligations of a publicly traded company. To achieve the objectives of attracting and retaining suitable executive officers, the 2017 executive compensation philosophy was comprised of the following key principles:

•

establish executive compensation appropriate for the varying degrees of executive responsibility, accountability and impact on WMIH’s business;

•

ensure compensation is reasonably competitive relative to similarly sized companies, taking into account that WMIH’s only operating business is WMMRC, which is being operated in runoff mode and to identify and assess possible acquisitions; and

•

ensure a flexible compensation structure to facilitate acquisitions or restructurings.

In 2015, William C. Gallagher and Thomas L. Fairfield were appointed as WMIH’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, respectively, with the expectation that Messrs. Gallagher and Fairfield would serve integral roles in assessing potential acquisitions on behalf of WMIH. As discussed further below, a significant portion of the compensation provided to Messrs. Gallagher and Fairfield is linked to WMIH’s successful completion of an acquisition.

At WMIH’s 2017 annual meeting of stockholders, 77% of the stockholders who voted on the advisory stockholder vote on executive compensation (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes) voted in favor of the proposal. Other than with respect to the compensation provided to Messrs. Gallagher and Fairfield in connection with their appointment as WMIH’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, respectively, during 2017, the WMIH compensation committee determined not to make any changes to the compensation programs after considering the vote.

Business Context for Compensation Decisions

The discussion that follows elaborates on the decision-making process governing the compensation of WMIH’s named executive officers, WMIH’s compensation philosophy, and the specific elements of compensation paid to WMIH’s named executive officers in 2017.

Role of the WMIH Compensation Committee

The WMIH compensation committee is responsible for the oversight of WMIH’s executive compensation program. Each director who served on the WMIH compensation committee in 2017 was, and each current member of the WMIH compensation committee is, a non-employee director within the meaning of SEC Rule 16b-3, an outside director within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and an independent director under NASDAQ listing standards. The WMIH compensation committee’s purpose is to discharge the Board’s responsibilities relating to compensation of WMIH’s executive officers and to adopt policies that govern WMIH’s compensation and benefit programs in a manner that supports both WMIH’s short and long term business strategies. The WMIH compensation committee has overall responsibility for approving and evaluating WMIH’s executive officer compensation plans, policies and programs. The WMIH compensation committee may delegate authority to subcommittees, retain or terminate compensation consultants and obtain advice and assistance from internal or external legal, accounting or other advisers.

Role of WMIH Compensation Committee Consultants in Compensation Decisions

Under its charter, the WMIH compensation committee may periodically engage independent compensation consultants to provide assistance and advice as it discharges its responsibilities under its written charter. The duties of compensation consultants engaged by the WMIH compensation committee may include periodically reviewing WMIH’s compensation programs to confirm that they are consistent with the executive compensation philosophy and objectives established by the WMIH compensation committee. Compensation consultants may also advise the WMIH compensation committee on emerging trends and issues related to the compensation of executive officers and directors and provide recommendations on the appropriate composition of peer group and market data sources to be used by the WMIH compensation committee as reference points for executive compensation decisions. In 2017, the WMIH compensation committee did not retain the services of an independent third party compensation consultant.

Elements of Compensation

The principal components of compensation for WMIH’s named executive officers are:

•

base salary;

•

discretionary cash bonuses; and

•

equity-based incentive compensation.

The cash compensation in the form of base salaries compensates the named executive officers for services rendered in fulfilling day-to-day roles and responsibilities needed to run the business as it currently exists. The amount of cash compensation for named executive officers was determined for each based on position, responsibility, and experience (including, in the case of Mr. Smith, familiarity with WMIH’s past and current operations). The WMIH compensation committee did not conduct a specific analysis of compensation of executives at peer companies in setting the base salaries for the named executive officers; however, based on the experience and general industry knowledge of the Board members and the WMIH compensation committee members, the WMIH compensation committee determined that the cash compensation level was appropriate under WMIH’s circumstances.

In addition to their base salaries, each of WMIH’s named executive officers is eligible to receive discretionary cash bonuses from time to time as determined by the WMIH compensation committee in its sole discretion. The WMIH compensation committee did not elect to pay bonuses in respect of 2017.

Restricted stock awards were issued to Messrs. Gallagher and Fairfield in 2015 in order to incentivize them to assist WMIH in implementing its acquisition strategy.

Pursuant to their employment agreements, as described below, each of Messrs. Gallagher and Fairfield have been granted equity-based compensation in the form of restricted stock, as described below. No grants of equity-based compensation were made in 2017.

2018 Compensation Actions

On March 9, 2018, WMIH entered into the Amendment of the Gallagher employment agreement (as defined below) (which we refer to as the “Gallagher Amendment”) and the Amendment of the Fairfield employment agreement (as defined below) (which we refer to as the “Fairfield Amendment” and, together with the Gallagher Amendment, which we refer to as the “Amendments”). The Amendments, which were approved by the Board and its compensation committee, amend each of the Gallagher employment agreement and the Fairfield employment agreement, by extending the terms of each of Mr. Gallagher’s and Mr. Fairfield’s employment with WMIH until the earlier of (a) the closing date of the Merger or (b) the end date (as defined in the Amendments). Except as modified by the Amendments, all other terms and conditions of each of the Gallagher employment agreement and Fairfield employment agreement remain in full force and effect.

In addition, in connection with the Merger, WMIH may award cash compensation, not to exceed $4,250,000 in the aggregate, to certain of its officers and employees, including the named executive officers, which may be paid as bonuses, severance payments or other forms of retention or incentive payments. As of the date of this Amendment, no such cash compensation has been awarded to any of WMIH’s officers and employees.

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Code generally limits the federal corporate income tax deduction for compensation paid by a public company to its Chief Executive Officer and certain other executive officers to $1 million in the year the compensation becomes taxable to the executive, unless the compensation is “performance-based compensation” or qualifies under certain other exceptions. Pursuant to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, as of January 1, 2018, the exception under Section 162(m) of the Code for qualified performance-based compensation was eliminated and the definition of “covered employee” was expanded to include the chief financial officer of a Company. No executive was paid an amount in 2017 where this provision would have been applicable. The WMIH compensation committee intends to seek to qualify executive compensation for deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Code to the extent consistent with WMIH’s best interests. Since corporate objectives may not always be consistent with the requirements for full deductibility, it is conceivable that WMIH may enter into compensation arrangements in the future under which payments are not deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code. Deductibility will not be the sole factor used by the WMIH compensation committee in ascertaining appropriate levels or modes of compensation.

Compensation Recovery Policy

WMIH does not have any incentive based compensation tied to performance at this time. Therefore, WMIH has not implemented a policy regarding retroactive adjustments to any cash or incentive compensation paid to WMIH’s executive officers and other employees where the payments were predicated upon the achievement of financial results that were subsequently the subject of a financial restatement. WMIH’s compensation committee intends to adopt a general compensation recovery (or clawback) policy covering WMIH’s annual and long-term incentive award plans and arrangements after the SEC adopts final rules implementing the requirement of Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. In addition, if WMIH is required to restate WMIH’s financial results due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirements under the federal securities laws, WMIH’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer may be legally required to reimburse WMIH for any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation they receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Report of the WMIH Compensation Committee

The “Report of the WMIH Compensation Committee” shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating this Amendment into any filing under the Securities Act or under the Exchange Act, except to the extent that WMIH specifically incorporates this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

In accordance with the terms of its charter, the WMIH compensation committee on behalf of the Board oversees WMIH’s executive compensation programs, including payments and awards, if any, to its executive officers and directors. The WMIH compensation

committee has overall responsibility for approving and evaluating WMIH’s director and executive officer compensation plans, policies and programs and addressing other compensation issues facing WMIH that require board action. The WMIH compensation committee is also responsible for reviewing and discussing with management and recommending to the Board the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for inclusion in this Amendment, in accordance with applicable SEC regulations.

In discharging its responsibilities, the WMIH compensation committee:

•

reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis included in this Amendment; and

•

based upon its review and discussions, the WMIH compensation committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Amendment to the Original Filing in respect of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

2017 Grants of Plan-Based Awards

No shares of restricted stock or any other plan-based awards were granted by WMIH to any of its named executive officers during 2017.

Narrative to Summary Compensation Table and Discussion of Grants of Plan-Based Awards

On May 12, 2015, the Board approved an employment agreement with William Gallagher (which we refer to (as amended) as the “Gallagher employment agreement”) pursuant to which, effective as of May 15, 2015, Mr. Gallagher began serving as WMIH’s Chief Executive Officer. The initial term of the Gallagher employment agreement was three years. Under the Gallagher employment agreement, Mr. Gallagher receives an annual base salary equal to $500,000, subject to applicable withholding taxes. As described below under “—Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control”, in the event that Mr. Gallagher’s employment is terminated by WMIH without “Cause” or due to Mr. Gallagher’s resignation for “Good Reason” prior to the consummation of a “Qualifying Acquisition” (as such terms are defined in the Gallagher employment agreement and described below under —Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control), subject to Mr. Gallagher’s execution of a release of claims in favor of WMIH, WMIH will provide Mr. Gallagher with severance in an amount equal to $250,000. Mr. Gallagher will not receive any severance payment if such termination occurs following the consummation of a Qualifying Acquisition.

Upon the consummation of a Qualifying Acquisition, WMIH and Mr. Gallagher will enter into a restrictive covenant agreement containing customary terms and conditions, including twelve-month post-termination non-competition and non-solicitation covenants.

In addition, on May 12, 2015, the Board approved a restricted stock agreement with Mr. Gallagher (which we refer to as the “Gallagher Restricted Stock Agreement”), pursuant to which, on May 15, 2015, WMIH issued to Mr. Gallagher an award of 1,777,778 restricted shares of WMIH Common Stock. The number of shares of WMIH Common Stock granted in connection with this award was determined by dividing $4 million by $2.25 per share of WMIH Common Stock (i.e., the assumed conversion price specified in the Gallagher Restricted Stock Agreement executed on the grant date); however, pursuant to the terms of the Gallagher employment agreement, WMIH will be required to issue an additional 507,936 restricted shares to Mr. Gallagher if the Merger is consummated since the conversion price of the Series B preferred stock (the “Series B Conversion Price”) is less than such assumed conversion price. However, while the Series B Conversion Price is below the assumed conversion price, the Gallagher employment agreement provides for a floor conversion price of $1.75. Accordingly, such floor conversion price will be utilized to determine the number of additional restricted shares required to be issued. As described below under “—Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control”, such award will vest in full upon the consummation of a Qualifying Acquisition, subject to Mr. Gallagher’s continued employment with WMIH until such time. However, if WMIH consummates a Qualifying Acquisition within six months following a termination of Mr. Gallagher’s employment by WMIH without Cause, due to Mr. Gallagher’s resignation for Good Reason or as a result of Mr. Gallagher’s death or disability, then the restricted shares will vest at the time of the consummation of the Qualifying Acquisition.

In addition, on May 12, 2015, the Board approved an employment agreement with Thomas Fairfield (which we refer to (as amended) as the “Fairfield employment agreement”), pursuant to which, effective as of May 15, 2015, Mr. Fairfield began serving as WMIH’s Chief Operating Officer. The initial term of the Fairfield employment agreement is three years. Under the Fairfield employment agreement, Mr. Fairfield receives an annual base salary equal to $500,000, subject to applicable withholding taxes. As described below under “—Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control”, in the event that Mr. Fairfield’s employment is terminated by WMIH without “Cause” or due to Mr. Fairfield’s resignation for “Good Reason” prior to the consummation of a “Qualifying Acquisition” (as such terms are defined in the Fairfield employment agreement and described below under “—Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control” ), subject to Mr. Fairfield’s execution of a release of claims in favor of WMIH, WMIH will provide Mr. Fairfield with severance in an amount equal to $250,000. Mr. Fairfield will not receive any severance payment if such termination occurs following the consummation of a Qualifying Acquisition.

Upon the consummation of a Qualifying Acquisition, WMIH and Mr. Fairfield will enter into a restrictive covenant agreement containing customary terms and conditions, including twelve-month post-termination non-competition and non-solicitation covenants.

In addition, on May 12, 2015, the Board approved a restricted stock agreement with Mr. Fairfield (which we refer to as the “Fairfield Restricted Stock Agreement”) pursuant to which, on May 15, 2015, WMIH issued to Mr. Fairfield an award of 1,777,778 restricted shares of WMIH Common Stock. The number of shares of WMIH Common Stock granted in connection with this award was determined by dividing $4 million by $2.25 per share of WMIH Common Stock (i.e., the assumed conversion price specified in the Fairfield Restricted Stock Agreement executed on the grant date); however, pursuant to the terms of the Fairfield employment agreement, WMIH will be required to issue an additional 507,936 restricted shares to Mr. Fairfield if the Merger is consummated since the Series B Conversion Price is less than such assumed conversion price. However, while the Series B Conversion Price is below the assumed conversion price, the Fairfield employment agreement provides for a floor conversion price of $1.75. Accordingly, such floor conversion price will be utilized to determine the number of additional restricted shares required to be issued. As described below under “—Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control”, such award will vest in full upon the consummation of a Qualifying Acquisition, subject to Mr. Fairfield’s continued employment with WMIH until such time. However, if WMIH consummates a Qualifying Acquisition within six months following a termination of Mr. Fairfield’s employment by WMIH without Cause, due to Mr. Fairfield’s resignation for Good Reason or as a result of Mr. Fairfield’s death or disability, then the restricted shares will vest at the time of the consummation of the Qualifying Acquisition.

Mr. Smith provides services to WMIH as Chief Legal Officer pursuant to the transition services agreement with the Trust, Mr. Smith’s employer. WMIH currently pays the Trust an hourly rate of approximately $478 (inclusive of overhead charges) for Mr. Smith’s services. Mr. Smith provides a maximum of 40 hours per month pursuant to the transition services agreement (unless otherwise consented to by the parties). Mr. Smith has regularly worked more than 40 hours per month, for which the Trust has been compensated accordingly pursuant to the transition services agreement.

Mr. Jaeger has provided services as Interim Chief Accounting Officer since May 28, 2012 and Interim Chief Financial Officer since June 25, 2012 pursuant to the engagement agreement with CXOC, which is owned by Mr. Jaeger. The rate of compensation under the engagement agreement was initially $15,000 per month and subsequently increased to $22,000 per month effective April 1, 2015. WMIH also reimburses CXOC for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, which are not reflected in the Summary Compensation Table. The engagement agreement renews for successive three-month terms, unless either party terminates with 30 days’ notice prior to the termination of the applicable term.

2012 Plan

The Board approved WMIH’s 2012 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2012 Plan”) on May 22, 2012, to award WMIH restricted stock to its non-employee directors and to have a plan in place for awards to executives and others in connection with WMIH’s operations and future strategic plans. The 2012 Plan provides for the granting of restricted shares and other cash and share based awards. The value of WMIH restricted stock is determined using the fair market value of the shares on the issuance date.

A total of 2,000,000 shares of WMIH Common Stock were initially reserved for future issuance under the 2012 Plan, which became effective upon board approval on May 22, 2012. On February 10, 2014, the Board approved and adopted an amendment to the 2012 Plan, pursuant to which the number of shares of WMIH Common Stock reserved and available for grants under the 2012 Plan was increased from 2,000,000 shares to 3,000,000 shares, and that modified the terms under which the 2012 Plan may be amended to permit such an increase through action of the Board except when shareholder approval is necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation or rule of any stock exchange on which WMIH’s shares are listed, quoted or traded. On February 25, 2015, the Board approved and adopted a Second Amendment to the 2012 Plan, pursuant to which the number of shares of WMIH Common Stock authorized and available for grants under the 2012 Plan was increased from 3,000,000 shares to 12,000,000 shares, subject to approval of stockholders of WMIH, which approval was subsequently received on April 28, 2015 at our annual meeting.

The principal features of the 2012 Plan, as currently in effect, are summarized below.

Available Shares

Subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, or other changes in corporate capitalization, the 2012 Plan provides that the aggregate number of shares of WMIH Common Stock authorized and available for grant under the 2012 Plan (or to be used to determine the value of an award payable in cash) is 12,000,000 shares. Shares delivered pursuant to an award under the 2012 Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or reacquired shares.

If any award is forfeited, terminates, is cancelled or expires without being exercised, or if an award is settled in cash, the shares of WMIH Common Stock subject to that award will again be available for issuance in connection with awards under the 2012 Plan. Shares used to pay the exercise price or withholding taxes related to an award, or that are unissued in connection with the net settlement of outstanding stock appreciation rights or that are used to satisfy the payment of dividend equivalent awards will not become available for issuance as future awards under the 2012 Plan.

Administration

The 2012 Plan is administered by the WMIH compensation committee. The 2012 Plan authorizes the WMIH compensation committee to designate participants to receive awards, to determine the type of awards and the times when awards are to be granted to participants, to determine the number of awards to be granted and the number of shares of WMIH Common Stock to which an award will relate, to determine the terms and conditions of any award, to determine to what extent an award may be settled or its exercise paid in cash, shares of WMIH Common Stock, other awards or other property, or whether an award may be canceled, forfeited, exchanged or surrendered, to prescribe the form of each award agreement, to decide all other matters in connection with an award, and to interpret the 2012 Plan and establish rules and regulations relating to the 2012 Plan. The 2012 Plan authorizes the WMIH compensation committee to delegate its authority as permitted by law and the rules of any established securities market on which WMIH Common Stock is traded, except that only the Board or the WMIH compensation committee may approve awards to individuals who are subject to section 16 of the Exchange Act or who are a “covered employee” under Section 162(m) of the Code.

Eligibility

Directors, employees, officers and consultants of WMIH, its affiliates or any entity of which WMIH is an affiliate are eligible to receive grants of awards under the 2012 Plan. Prospective participants may be granted awards in connection with written offers of employment or service agreements with WMIH or an affiliate, provided that the award must specifically provide that no portion will vest, become exercisable or be issued before the individual begins employment or providing services to WMIH or any affiliate. Only employees of WMIH or its subsidiaries may be granted incentive stock options.

Types of Awards

Awards under the 2012 Plan may consist of WMIH restricted stock, WMIH restricted stock units, WMIH performance stock, WMIH performance stock units, WMIH performance cash awards, WMIH stock grants, WMIH stock units, WMIH dividend equivalents, WMIH stock options, WMIH stock appreciation rights or WMIH performance-based awards. All awards are evidenced by an award agreement and may be granted alone or in tandem with other awards. Each award agreement will include recapture or clawback provisions to the extent the WMIH compensation committee believes desirable or necessary to comply with applicable law in effect on the date of the award agreement, or as it otherwise determines to be appropriate.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards

A WMIH restricted stock award consists of shares of WMIH Common Stock that generally are non-transferable and subject to other restrictions imposed by the WMIH compensation committee, including, for example, restrictions on the right to receive dividends or vote the shares. Restrictions on WMIH restricted stock may lapse separately or in combination, at such times, in such circumstances, in installments or otherwise as determined by the WMIH compensation committee at the time of grant or thereafter. Participants may not exercise voting rights with respect to WMIH restricted stock unless otherwise provided in the award agreement. If a participant terminates employment or service during the restricted period, then any unvested WMIH restricted stock will be forfeited except as otherwise provided in the award agreement. The WMIH compensation committee may waive any restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to a WMIH restricted stock award. Any certificates representing shares of WMIH restricted stock that are registered in a participant’s name will bear an appropriate legend referring to the applicable terms, conditions and restrictions, and may be retained in WMIH’s possession until all applicable restrictions have lapsed.

A WMIH restricted stock unit award represents the right to receive a specified number of shares of WMIH Common Stock, or a cash payment equal to the fair market value as of a specified date of a specified number of shares of WMIH Common Stock, subject to any vesting or other restrictions deemed appropriate by the WMIH compensation committee. Restrictions on WMIH restricted stock units may lapse separately or in combination, at such times, in such circumstances, in installments or otherwise as determined by the WMIH compensation committee at the time of grant or thereafter. If a participant terminates employment or services during the restricted period, then any units that are at that time subject to restrictions will be forfeited except as otherwise provided in the award agreement. The WMIH compensation committee may waive any restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to a WMIH restricted stock award. Payment for WMIH restricted stock units will be made at the time designated by the WMIH compensation committee in the award agreement, and may be in the form of cash or shares of WMIH Common Stock, or in a combination of both, as provided by the WMIH compensation committee in the applicable award agreement.

Stock Grant and Stock Unit Awards

The 2012 Plan permits the WMIH compensation committee to grant WMIH stock grant awards and WMIH stock unit awards. A WMIH stock grant award is the right to receive or purchase at a price determined by the WMIH compensation committee a specified number of shares of WMIH Common Stock free of any vesting restrictions. The purchase price, if any, for a WMIH stock grant award is payable in cash or other form of consideration acceptable to the WMIH compensation committee. A WMIH stock unit award represents the right to receive in the future a specified number of shares of WMIH Common Stock, or a cash payment equal to the fair market value as of a specified date of a specified number of shares of WMIH Common Stock, free of any vesting restrictions. WMIH stock grant awards and WMIH stock unit awards may be granted in respect of past services or other valid consideration, or in lieu of any cash compensation due to a participant.

Performance Share, Performance Share Unit and Performance Cash Awards

Under the 2012 Plan, the WMIH compensation committee may grant WMIH performance share awards, WMIH performance share unit awards and WMIH performance cash awards. A WMIH performance share award grants a participant the right to receive a specified number of shares of WMIH Common Stock depending on the satisfaction of any one or more performance goals. A WMIH performance share unit award grants a participant the right to receive a specified number of shares of WMIH Common Stock, a cash payment equal to the fair market value as of a specified date of a specified number of shares, or a combination of shares and cash, depending on the satisfaction of any one or more performance goals. A WMIH performance cash award grants a participant the right to receive an amount of cash depending on the satisfaction of any one or more performance goals. Performance in each case may be measured on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the WMIH compensation committee.

The WMIH compensation committee will establish the performance goals for each award of WMIH performance shares, WMIH performance share units or WMIH performance cash, which will be based on performance criteria designated in the award agreement. Such performance goals may be expressed in terms of overall company performance or the performance of a division, business unit, plant or an individual. Performance goals may be stated in terms of absolute levels or relative to another company or companies or to an index or indices.

Dividend Equivalent Awards

A WMIH dividend equivalent award represents the right to receive a payment based on the dividends declared on the shares of WMIH Common Stock that are subject to any WMIH restricted stock unit, WMIH stock unit, WMIH performance share unit or WMIH performance share award, to be credited on dividend payment dates during the period between the grant date and the date the award is settled, vests or expires, as determined by the WMIH compensation committee. A WMIH dividend equivalent award is expressed in terms of cash or shares of WMIH Common Stock depending on the way in which the dividends to which it relates are declared. The award will be converted to cash or additional shares of WMIH Common Stock, as the case may be, by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as determined by the WMIH compensation committee, and may be paid with interest if so provided in the award agreement.

Stock Options

The 2012 Plan provides for awards of options to purchase shares of WMIH Common Stock that are either “incentive stock options”, meaning they are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, or “non-qualified stock options”, which are not intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code.

Stock Appreciation Rights

The 2012 Plan provides for awards of WMIH stock appreciation rights, which generally would entitle the holder to receive, upon settlement, the excess of the fair market value of a share of WMIH Common Stock on the exercise date over the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares for which the right is exercised.

Performance-Based Awards

A WMIH performance-based award is an award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. The 2012 Plan is designed to permit the WMIH compensation committee to qualify any award granted to an employee who is or may be a covered employee under Code Section 162(m) as a WMIH performance-based award.

Change of Control

Unless otherwise provided in an award agreement by the WMIH compensation committee, with the approval of the Board, if there is a change of control of WMIH (as defined in the 2012 Plan), restrictions on any WMIH restricted stock or WMIH restricted stock unit awards will lapse, any WMIH performance share or WMIH performance share unit awards that are payable in WMIH Common Stock will be converted to fully vested WMIH stock grants, WMIH performance share unit awards that are payable in cash will be fully vested and WMIH performance cash awards will be deemed satisfied and earned at the target performance level.

Adjustments

The 2012 Plan provides that in the event of certain corporate events or changes in WMIH Common Stock, the WMIH compensation committee will proportionally adjust awards and the number of shares under the 2012 Plan as it determines to be appropriate. Any adjustment to awards will be made in a manner consistent with Code Section 409A.

Amendments and Termination

The 2012 Plan will terminate on May 22, 2022, unless it is terminated sooner by the WMIH compensation committee with the approval of the Board. The WMIH compensation committee may terminate or amend the 2012 Plan in any respect at any time, except that no amendment may be made without shareholder approval if such approval is required by applicable law, regulation or rule of any stock exchange on which WMIH Common Stock is listed, quoted or traded. Except as otherwise provided in the 2012 Plan with respect to adjustments in connection with certain corporate events or changes in WMIH Common Stock, no amendment may be made that would adversely affect the rights of a holder of any outstanding award without the holder’s written consent. However, holder consent is not needed for any change required by law or regulation, required to cause awards to qualify as performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m) or to comply with Code Section 409A, or that in the WMIH compensation committee’s good faith discretion does not adversely affect in any material way the rights of the holder.

2017 Outstanding Equity Awards

The following table summarizes information regarding the holdings of restricted shares by named executive officers as of December 31, 2017. This table includes unvested restricted shares, with the corresponding vesting information for each award in the footnotes following this table.

Timothy F. Jaeger		—			—

(1)

This award of 1,777,778 was made pursuant to the Gallagher Restricted Stock Agreement, which such award vests in full upon the consummation of a Qualifying Acquisition, subject to Mr. Gallagher’s continued employment. Because the shares of restricted stock granted to Mr. Gallagher are subject to a minimum conversion price of $1.75 per share, the maximum number of additional shares to which Mr. Gallagher would be entitled upon the consummation by WMIH of a Qualifying Acquisition is 507,936 shares of stock (or an aggregate of 2,285,714 shares of stock).

(2)

This award of 1,777,778 was made pursuant to the Fairfield Restricted Stock Agreement, which such award vests in full upon the consummation of a Qualifying Acquisition, subject to Mr. Fairfield’s continued employment. Because the shares of restricted stock granted to Mr. Fairfield are subject to a minimum conversion price of $1.75 per share, the maximum number of additional shares to which Mr. Fairfield would be entitled upon the consummation by WMIH of a Qualifying Acquisition is 507,936 shares of stock (or an aggregate of 2,285,714 shares of stock).

(3)

Market values of the WMIH restricted stock awards shown in this table are based on the closing market price of WMIH Common Stock as of December 29, 2017, the last trading day of 2017, which was $0.85, and assumes the satisfaction of the applicable vesting conditions. The foregoing notwithstanding, the shares of restricted stock granted to Messrs. Fairfield and Gallagher are subject to a minimum conversion price of $1.75 per share.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control

William C. Gallagher (Chief Executive Officer)

Pursuant to the Gallagher employment agreement, in the event that Mr. Gallagher’s employment is terminated by WMIH without “Cause” or due to Mr. Gallagher’s resignation for “Good Reason” prior to the consummation of a Qualifying Acquisition, subject to Mr. Gallagher’s execution of a release of claims in favor of WMIH, WMIH will provide Mr. Gallagher with a lump sum severance payment in an amount equal to $250,000. Mr. Gallagher will not receive any severance payment if such termination occurs following the consummation of a Qualifying Acquisition. For purposes of the Gallagher employment agreement, a Qualifying Acquisition is an acquisition by WMIH that, taken together with prior acquisitions (if any), collectively utilizes $450.0 million of the aggregate net proceeds of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock offering, which was consummated on January 5, 2015. The completion of the Merger will constitute a Qualifying Acquisition for purposes of Mr. Gallagher’s employment agreement.

For purposes of the Gallagher employment agreement, “Cause” means (i) the commission of, conviction for, plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude, or other material act or omission involving dishonesty or fraud, (ii) engaging in conduct that constitutes fraud or embezzlement, (iii) engaging in conduct that constitutes gross negligence or willful gross misconduct that results or could reasonably be expected to result in material harm to the WMIH’s business or reputation, (iv) breach of any material terms of employment, including the Gallagher employment agreement, which results or could reasonably be expected to result in material harm to WMIH’s business or reputation or (v) continued willful failure to substantially perform the duties of Chief Executive Officer. However, Mr. Gallagher’s employment may not be terminated for “Cause” within the meaning of clauses (iv) and (v) above unless WMIH has given him written notice stating the basis for such termination and Mr. Gallagher is given fifteen (15) days to cure, to the extent curable, the neglect or conduct that is the basis of any such claim.

For purposes of the Gallagher employment agreement, “Good Reason” means Mr. Gallagher’s voluntary resignation after WMIH takes any of the following actions taken without Mr. Gallagher’s written consent: (i) any material failure by WMIH to fulfill WMIH’s obligations under the Gallagher employment agreement, (ii) a material and adverse change to, or a material reduction of, Mr. Gallagher’s duties and responsibilities to WMIH, (iii) a reduction in Mr. Gallagher’s then current annual base salary, or (iv) the failure of any successor to all or substantially all of WMIH’s assets to assume the Gallagher employment agreement, whether in writing or by operation of law; provided, that any such event will not constitute Good Reason unless and until Mr. Gallagher has provided WMIH with written notice.

Pursuant to the Gallagher Restricted Stock Agreement, the 1,777,778 restricted shares awarded to Mr. Gallagher will only vest in full upon the consummation of a Qualifying Acquisition, if Mr. Gallagher continues to be employed by WMIH until such time. However, if WMIH consummates a Qualifying Acquisition within six months following a termination of Mr. Gallagher’s employment by WMIH without Cause, due to Mr. Gallagher’s resignation for Good Reason, as a result of Mr. Gallagher’s death or disability or due to the expiration of the employment term, then the 1,777,778 restricted shares will vest at the time of the consummation of the Qualifying Acquisition. The completion of the Merger will constitute a Qualifying Acquisition for purposes of the Gallagher Restricted Stock Agreement. The value of the accelerated vesting of the 1,777,778 restricted shares under either circumstance, assuming such event occurred on December 31, 2017, would have been $1,511,111 (based on the closing price of WMIH Common Stock as of December 29, 2017, the last trading day of 2017, which was $0.85). Assuming Mr. Gallagher was entitled to receive an additional grant of restricted stock pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, the value of the accelerated vesting of the maximum number of shares (an aggregate of 2,285,714 restricted shares), assuming such event occurred on December 31, 2017, would have been $1,942,857 (based on the closing price of WMIH Common Stock as of December 29, 2017, the last trading day of 2017, which was $0.85).

Thomas L. Fairfield (Chief Operating Officer)

Pursuant to the Fairfield employment agreement, in the event that Mr. Fairfield’s employment is terminated by WMIH without “Cause” or due to Mr. Fairfield’s resignation for “Good Reason” prior to the consummation of a Qualifying Acquisition, subject to Mr. Fairfield’s execution of a release of claims in favor of WMIH, WMIH will provide Mr. Fairfield with a lump sum severance payment in an amount equal to $250,000. Mr. Fairfield will not receive any severance payment if such termination occurs following the consummation of a Qualifying Acquisition. For purposes of the Fairfield employment agreement, a Qualifying Acquisition is an acquisition by WMIH that, taken together with prior acquisitions (if any), collectively utilizes $450.0 million of the aggregate net proceeds of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock offering, which was consummated on January 5, 2015. The completion of the Merger will constitute a Qualifying Acquisition for purposes of Mr. Fairfield’s employment agreement.

For purposes of the Fairfield employment agreement, “Cause” means (i) the commission of, conviction for, plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude, or other material act or omission involving dishonesty or fraud, (ii) engaging in conduct that constitutes fraud or embezzlement, (iii) engaging in conduct that constitutes gross negligence or willful gross misconduct that results or could reasonably be expected to result in material harm to the WMIH’s business or reputation, (iv) breach of any material terms of employment, including the Fairfield employment agreement, which results or could reasonably be expected to result in material harm to WMIH’s business or reputation or (v) continued willful failure to substantially perform the duties of Chief Operating Officer. However, Mr. Fairfield’s employment may not be terminated for “Cause” within the meaning of clauses (iv) and (v) above unless WMIH has given him written notice stating the basis for such termination and Mr. Fairfield is given fifteen (15) days to cure, to the extent curable, the neglect or conduct that is the basis of any such claim.

For purposes of the Fairfield employment agreement, “Good Reason” means Mr. Fairfield’s voluntary resignation after WMIH takes any of the following actions taken without Mr. Fairfield’s written consent: (i) any material failure by WMIH to fulfill WMIH’s obligations under the Fairfield employment agreement, (ii) a material and adverse change to, or a material reduction of, Mr. Fairfield’s duties and responsibilities to WMIH, (iii) a reduction in Mr. Fairfield’s then current annual base salary, or (iv) the failure of any successor to all or substantially all of WMIH’s assets to assume the Fairfield employment agreement, whether in writing or by operation of law; provided, that any such event will not constitute Good Reason unless and until Mr. Fairfield has provided WMIH with written notice.

Pursuant to the Fairfield Restricted Stock Agreement, the 1,777,778 restricted shares awarded to Mr. Fairfield will only vest in full upon the consummation of a Qualifying Acquisition if Mr. Fairfield continues to be employed by WMIH until such time. However, if WMIH consummates a Qualifying Acquisition within six months following a termination of Mr. Fairfield’s employment by WMIH without Cause, due to Mr. Fairfield’s resignation for Good Reason, as a result of Mr. Fairfield’s death or disability or due to the expiration of the employment term, then the 1,777,778 restricted shares will vest at the time of the consummation of the Qualifying Acquisition. The completion of the Merger will constitute a Qualifying Acquisition for purposes of the Fairfield Restricted Stock Agreement. The value of the accelerated vesting of the 1,777,778 restricted shares under either circumstance, assuming such event occurred on December 31, 2017, would have been $1,511,111 (based on the closing price of WMIH Common Stock as of December 29, 2017, the last trading day of 2017, which was $0.85). Assuming Mr. Fairfield was entitled to receive an additional grant of restricted stock pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, the value of the accelerated vesting of the maximum number of shares (an aggregate of 2,285,714 restricted shares), assuming such event occurred on December 31, 2017, would have been $1,942,857 (based on the closing price of WMIH Common Stock as of December 29, 2017, the last trading day of 2017, which was $0.85).

Charles Edward Smith (Chief Legal Officer) and Timothy F. Jaeger (Interim Chief Financial Officer)

WMIH has no obligation for severance or any other benefits payable to Mr. Smith or Mr. Jaeger following termination of employment or a change-in-control of WMIH.

Pay Ratio

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, WMIH is providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of WMIH’s employees and the annual total compensation of Mr. Gallagher, WMIH’s Chief Executive Officer (who we refer to as “WMIH’s CEO”), as of December 31, 2017:

For 2017, WMIH’s last completed fiscal year:

•

the median of the annual total compensation of all WMIH’s employees (other than WMIH’s CEO) was $217,000; and

•

the annual total compensation of WMIH’s CEO was $500,000.

Based on this information, for 2017, the ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Gallagher, WMIH’s CEO, to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was 2.3 to 1.

WMIH has selected December 31, 2017 (the “determination date”), which is within the last three months of 2017, as the date upon which WMIH would identify the “median employee”.

WMIH identified the median employee by examining the annual total compensation calculated in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K of each individual other than WMIH’s CEO who was employed by WMIH on the determination date (i.e., WMIH’s other 3 employees). WMIH included all employees, whether employed on a full-time, part-time, or seasonal basis and all employees were employed by WMIH for all of 2017.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The WMIH compensation committee is comprised of Diane B. Glossman, Steve D. Scheiwe, and Michael L. Willingham. During 2017, no member of the WMIH compensation committee was or had been an officer or former employee of WMIH or any of its subsidiaries or had any relationship requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K. In addition, no executive officer of WMIH served on the Board or as a member of the WMIH compensation committee of any entity whose executive officers included a director of WMIH. WMIH’s former Chairman of the Board, Eugene I. Davis, whose term ended on June 1, 2017, serves as the executive chairman of Bluestem Group, Inc., on whose board Thomas L. Fairfield also served as a director until June 21, 2017.

Risks Related to Compensation Policies and Practices

The WMIH compensation committee reviewed our compensation programs for employees and concluded that these programs do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the company.

As of December 31, 2017, Messrs. Renoff, Scheiwe and Willingham and Ms. Glossman each held 124,521 shares of restricted stock.

(2)	Employees of KKR do not receive any compensation from WMIH for their services on the Board.

Narrative to Director Compensation Table

WMIH director compensation has three components: (1) annual cash retainer for board service; (2) annual cash retainers based on committee chair positions and committee membership; and (3) annual and/or special restricted stock grants. The annual cash retainer for board service is $100,000. Annual retainers for committee or chair service include: (i) $10,000 for each non-chair member of the WMIH audit committee; (ii) $10,000 for each non-Chair member of the WMIH CS&D committee; (iii) $5,000 for each non-chair member of the WMIH compensation committee; (iv) $5,000 for each non-chair member of the WMIH nominating and corporate governance committee; (v) $50,000 for being Chairman of the Board; (vi) $25,000 for the WMIH audit committee chair; (vii) $25,000 for the WMIH CS&D committee chair; (viii) $12,500 for the WMIH compensation committee chair and (ix) $12,500 for the WMIH nominating and corporate governance committee chair. Members of the WMIH finance committee do not receive any additional compensation for serving on that committee. All retainers were paid in quarterly installments, in advance, on the last day of the prior quarter. WMIH also reimburses directors for their travel expenses for each meeting attended in person; however, reimbursement amounts are not included in the totals above.

In 2013, the Board, upon recommendation of the WMIH compensation committee, adopted a policy that the annual restricted stock grant to directors will, subject to availability of sufficient shares reserved under the 2012 Plan, be automatically granted without any further action by the WMIH compensation committee or Board to each outside director elected by the stockholders to serve another term on the day of WMIH’s annual meeting of stockholders, at a stock price equal to the closing price of WMIH Common Stock as quoted on the exchange on which shares of WMIH Common Stock trade on the grant date. Generally, grants of restricted stock to WMIH’s directors vest in three equal installments over a three year period, subject to continued service as a director through the vesting dates. On June 1, 2017, Messrs. Renoff, Scheiwe and Willingham and Ms. Glossman each received a grant of 83,333 shares of restricted stock, with each such grant having a fair market value of $1.20 per share as of the grant date. The shares of restricted stock vest over a period of three years, with one-third of each grant vesting on each of March 19, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively, generally subject to continued service on each applicable vesting date. The shares also immediately vest in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the 2012 Plan).

WMIH directors are subject to stock ownership guidelines that require each director to, at all times during service on the Board, hold shares of WMIH Common Stock equal to 50% of the aggregate number of shares awarded to the director as director compensation and that have vested. To monitor the guidelines, board members are not permitted to sell WMIH’s shares without WMIH compensation committee approval.

Item 12.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.

The following table contains information as of December 31, 2017, about equity securities authorized for issuance under our 2012 Plan as amended:


Plan category ⁽¹⁾	Number of securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights (a)		Weighted-average exercise price of outstanding options, warrants and rights (b)		Number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans (excluding securities reflected in column (a)) (c)
Equity compensation plans approved by security holders		—		—		5,285,868
Equity compensation plans not approved by security holders		—		—		—

Total		—		—		5,285,868

⁽¹⁾

On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan and related confirmation order, all equity interests in WMI, including common stock and any options, warrants, calls, subscriptions or other similar rights or other agreements, commitments or outstanding securities obligations, were cancelled and extinguished.

The 2012 Plan took effect on May 22, 2012, and will terminate on May 22, 2022, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the 2012 Plan. Upon termination, we will stop issuing awards under the 2012 Plan; however, the termination of the plan will not affect any outstanding awards. The adoption of the 2012 Plan did not require stockholder approval. The 2012 Plan is administered by our compensation committee and Board, and awards under the 2012 Plan may consist of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, performance stock units, performance cash awards, stock grants, stock units, dividend equivalents, stock options,

stock appreciation rights or performance-based awards. Effective February 10, 2014, the number of shares of WMIH’s Common Stock available for awards pursuant to the 2012 Plan and reserved for issuance was increased from 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 shares. Effective February 25, 2015, we increased the number of shares authorized and available for awards under the 2012 Plan from 3,000,000 to 12,000,000 shares of WMIH’s Common Stock, subject to approval of stockholders of WMIH, which approval was subsequently received on April 28, 2015 at our annual meeting. On June 1, 2017, 333,332 restricted shares of WMIH’s Common Stock were issued under the 2012 Plan to outside directors. As of December 31, 2017, 5,285,868 shares of WMIH’s Common Stock remain available for future issuance under the 2012 Plan.

In the event any award granted under the 2012 Plan is forfeited, terminates or is canceled or expires, the number of shares of WMIH’s Common Stock subject to such award, to the extent of any such forfeiture, termination, cancellation or expiration, will thereafter be available for grant under the plan. At the discretion of the Compensation Committee or the Board, awards may be granted to WMIH’s (or WMIH’s affiliates’) employees, officers, directors, consultants and other service providers of WMIH or its affiliates. Each award must be evidenced by a written agreement between WMIH and the grantee. Restricted stock grants are subject to such restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as the Compensation Committee or the Board may impose. These restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, in such circumstances, in such installments, or otherwise, as the Compensation Committee or the Board determines; however, no more than 5% in the aggregate of the shares available for award may be subject to restricted stock grants with respect to which the restrictions lapse solely based on the passage of time and which vest in less than three years. Restricted stock may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of, except in limited circumstances. Subject to override by the Board, in the event of a change in control of WMIH, any time based or other restrictions imposed on restricted stock grants will lapse. For further information on our 2012 Plan, see Note 9: Capital Stock and Derivative Instruments to the consolidated financial information in Part II, Item 8 of the Original Filing.

(1)

Percentages have been calculated based on 206,714,132 shares of WMIH Common Stock, except the percentage Wand Holdings with respect to WMIH Common Stock has been calculated assuming the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and exercise of the WMIH warrants owned by Wand Holdings. Percentages do not reflect the mandatory conversion of the WMIH Series B preferred stock because the WMIH Series B preferred stock is not convertible at the option of the holders.

(2)	Percentages have been calculated based on 600,000 shares of the WMIH Series B preferred stock issued and outstanding as of April 20, 2018.

(3)

Based on the total amount of shares of WMIH Common Stock issued and outstanding as of April 20, 2018, calculated (i) assuming the conversion of the WMIH Series A preferred stock, and (ii) assuming the conversion of the WMIH Series B preferred stock using the conversion price of $1.35. However, this calculation does not assume the exercise of the outstanding WMIH warrants, which are not entitled to any voting rights prior to the exercise thereof.

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

Relationship with KKR

Investment Agreement

On January 30, 2014, WMIH entered into an Investment Agreement with KKR Fund (which we refer to as the “investment agreement”). Pursuant to the investment agreement, WMIH sold to KKR Fund 1,000,000 shares of WMIH Series A preferred stock having the terms, rights, obligations and preferences contained in the WMIH charter for a purchase price equal to $11,072,192 and issued to KKR Fund warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, 61,400,000 shares of WMIH Common Stock, 30,700,000 of which have an exercise price of $1.32 per share and 30,700,000 of which have an exercise price of $1.43 per share (collectively, the “WMIH warrants”). On February 12, 2018, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, WMIH and KKR Fund entered into a letter amendment to the KKR Letter Agreement (as defined below under “—KKR Letter Agreement”) (which we refer to as the “KKR letter amendment”) and immediately thereafter KKR Fund contributed the WMIH Series A preferred stock and WMIH warrants it held to Wand Holdings. Additionally, on February 12, 2018, WMIH and Wand Holdings entered into a Warrant Exchange Agreement (which we refer to as the “warrant exchange agreement”). See “—KKR Letter Agreement”, “—Amendment to the KKR Letter Agreement” and “—Warrant Exchange Agreement” below.

The WMIH Series A preferred stock has rights substantially similar to those associated with WMIH Common Stock, with the exception of a liquidation preference, conversion rights and customary anti-dilution protections. The WMIH Series A preferred stock has a liquidation preference equal to the greater of (i) $10.00 per 1,000,000 shares of WMIH Series A preferred stock plus declared but unpaid dividends on any such shares and (ii) the amount that the holder of the WMIH Series A preferred stock would be entitled to if such holder participated with the holders of shares of WMIH Common Stock then outstanding, pro rata as a single class based on the number of outstanding shares of WMIH Common Stock on an as-converted basis held by each holder as of immediately prior to a liquidation, in the distribution of all WMIH’s remaining assets and funds available for distribution to WMIH’s stockholders. The WMIH Series A preferred stock is convertible at a conversion price of $1.10 per share (subject to anti-dilution adjustment) into shares of WMIH Common Stock either at the option of the holder or automatically upon transfer by Wand Holdings to a non-affiliated party. Further, Wand Holdings, as the holder of the WMIH Series A preferred stock and the WMIH warrants, has received other rights pursuant to the investor rights agreement (as defined below).

The WMIH warrants have a five-year term from the date of issuance and are subject to customary structural adjustment provisions for stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations and other similar transactions.

Investor Rights Agreement

On January 30, 2014, WMIH entered into the investor rights agreement with KKR Fund. On February 12, 2018, KKR Fund assigned its rights under the investor rights agreement to Wand Holdings. Wand Holdings’ rights as a holder of the WMIH Series A preferred stock and the WMIH warrants, and the rights of any subsequent holder that is an affiliate of Wand Holdings are governed by the

investor rights agreement. Pursuant to the investor rights agreement, for so long as Wand Holdings owns, in the aggregate, at least 50% of the WMIH Series A preferred stock issued as of January 30, 2014 (or the underlying common stock), Wand Holdings will have the right to appoint one of the seven directors that currently comprise WMIH’s board. If the WMIH Board consists of eight or more directors, Wand Holdings has the right to appoint two directors.

Additionally, until January 30, 2017, KKR Fund (which has since assigned its rights under the investor rights agreement to Wand Holdings) had the right to purchase up to 50% of any future equity rights offerings or other equity issuance by WMIH on the same terms as the equity issued to other investors in such transactions, in an aggregate amount of such offerings and issuances by WMIH of up to $1 billion (which we refer to as the “participation rights”). The participation rights did not include any issuances of securities by WMIH constituting any part of the consideration payable by it in connection with any acquisitions or investments (including any rollover equity) or in respect of any employee options or other income compensation. KKR Fund’s aggregate beneficial ownership of WMIH’s equity securities after giving effect to any equity issuances (and on a pro forma basis after taking into account any acquisitions) shall at no time exceed 42.5% of WMIH’s equity securities without WMIH’s prior written consent. Except for the participation rights and the issuance of WMIH Common Stock in respect of the WMIH warrants and the WMIH Series A preferred stock, Wand Holdings and its affiliates shall not purchase or acquire any of WMIH’s or its subsidiaries’ equity securities without WMIH’s prior written consent, subject to certain exceptions.

In connection with the issuance of the WMIH Series A preferred stock and the WMIH warrants, KKR Fund (which has since assigned its rights under the investor rights agreement to Wand Holdings) and its affiliates agreed that, until December 31, 2016, they would not:

•

request the call of a special meeting of WMIH’s stockholders; seek to make, or make, a stockholder proposal at any meeting of WMIH’s stockholders; seek the removal of any director from the Board; or make any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are used in the proxy rules of the SEC) or solicit any written consents of stockholders with respect to any matter;

•

form or join or participate in a “partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, with respect to any of WMIH’s voting securities;

•

make or issue, or cause to be made or issued, any public disclosure, statement or announcement (including filing reports with the SEC) (x) in support of any solicitation described in the first bullet above, or (y) negatively commenting upon us;

•

except pursuant to any exercise of any WMIH warrant, the conversion of the WMIH Series A preferred stock, or the exercise of the Participation Rights, acquire, agree or seek to acquire, beneficially or otherwise, any of WMIH’s voting securities (other than securities issued pursuant to a plan established by the Board for members of the Board, a stock split, stock dividend distribution, spin-off, combination, reclassification or recapitalization of WMIH and WMIH Common Stock or other similar corporate action initiated by us);

•

enter into any discussions, negotiations, agreements or undertakings with any person with respect to the foregoing or advise, assist, encourage or seek to persuade others to take any action with respect to the foregoing, except pursuant to mandates WMIH grants to KKR Capital Markets LLC (“KCM”) and its affiliates for the purpose of WMIH raising capital; or

•

short any of WMIH Common Stock or acquire any derivative or hedging instrument or contract relating to WMIH Common Stock.

The foregoing provisions expired, by their terms, on December 31, 2016.

In the event that any stockholder or group of stockholders other than Wand Holdings calls a stockholder meeting or seeks to nominate nominees to the Board, then Wand Holdings shall not be restricted from calling a stockholder meeting in order to nominate directors as an alternative to the nominees nominated by such stockholder or group, provided that Wand Holdings shall not nominate or propose a number of directors to the Board that is greater than the number of directors nominated or proposed by such stockholder or group.

The investor rights agreement also provides Wand Holdings with registration rights, including three long form demand registration rights, unlimited short form demand registration rights and customary piggyback registration rights with respect to common stock (and common stock underlying the WMIH Series A preferred stock and the WMIH warrants), subject to certain minimum thresholds, customary blackout periods and lockups of 180 days. WMIH filed a resale registration statement on Form S-3, as amended that was declared effective on November 25, 2015, which, among other things, registered for resale the common stock underlying the WMIH Series A preferred stock. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, WMIH, Wand Holdings, Wand Investors and Fortress executed a Letter Agreement on February 12, 2018 (which we refer to as the “Fortress letter agreement”) pursuant to which Wand Holdings agreed to modify certain of its registration rights..

The investor rights agreement also provides that to the extent that WMIH undertakes any capital markets issuances, WMIH shall engage KKR Capital Markets LLC to assist the WMIH in such issuances on customary commercial terms reasonably acceptable to WMIH.

For as long as Wand Holdings beneficially owns any shares of WMIH Common Stock or WMIH Series A preferred stock or any of the WMIH warrants, WMIH has agreed to provide customary Rule 144A information rights, to provide Wand Holdings with regular audited and unaudited financial statements and to allow Wand Holdings or its representatives to inspect WMIH’s books and records.

Indemnification Agreements

In connection with the offering of the WMIH Series B preferred stock (which we refer to as the “WMIH Series B preferred stock offering”), on December 19, 2014, WMIH entered into an indemnification agreement with KKR Fund and Mr. Olson (who at the time was an observer on the Board), pursuant to which WMIH will indemnify KKR Fund and Mr. Olson for liabilities arising out of the WMIH Series B preferred stock offering. Additionally, WMIH has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its current directors and executive officers.

Voting Agreement

In connection with the WMIH Series B preferred stock offering, on December 19, 2014, WMIH entered into a voting agreement with the KKR Entities, pursuant to which the KKR Entities agreed to vote and provided a proxy to vote all shares of its WMIH Series A preferred stock, WMIH Series B preferred stock and WMIH Common Stock that it held on the record date for such vote in favor of WMIH’s reincorporation to the State of Delaware from the State of Washington (which we refer to as the “reincorporation”), which occurred on May 11, 2015. The voting agreement is no longer in effect.

Also in connection with the WMIH Series B preferred stock offering, on December 19, 2014, WMIH entered into additional voting agreements with certain then-existing significant holders of WMIH Common Stock (each of whom we refer to as an “Other Holder”) that purchased shares of WMIH Series B preferred stock in the WMIH Series B preferred stock offering. Pursuant to the additional voting agreements, each Other Holder agreed to vote and provided a proxy to vote all shares of its WMIH Series B preferred stock and WMIH Common Stock that it held on the record date for such vote in favor of the reincorporation. The additional voting agreements are no longer in effect.

WMIH Series B Preferred Stock Offering

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2014, among the WMIH, as issuer, and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and KCM as the initial purchasers, in connection with the WMIH Series B preferred stock offering, KCM, as an initial purchaser, (1) was paid a fee of $8,250,000 upon the reincorporation and (2) will be paid a fee of $8,250,000 upon a Qualified Acquisition (as defined in the Certificate of Designation for the WMIH Series B preferred stock, dated January 5, 2015). On December 11, 2017, the requisite holders of WMIH Series B preferred stock, including KKR Wand Investors L.P. (“KKR Wand”), which is an affiliate of KKR Fund and KCM, approved an amendment to the WMIH charter, which was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on December 7, 2017. The amendment to the WMIH charter, which became effective on January 5, 2018, amended the terms of the WMIH Series B preferred stock as described elsewhere in this Amendment and the Original Filing. see Note 9: Capital Stock and Derivative Instruments and Note 15: Subsequent Events, to the consolidated financial information in Part II, Item 8 of the Original Filing. On February 12, 2018, KKR Wand contributed the shares of WMIH Series B preferred stock it held to Wand Investors.

Series B Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the WMIH Series B preferred stock offering, WMIH entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and KCM, an affiliate of KKR Fund, Wand Holdings and Wand Investors, on January 5, 2015, which provided for registration rights with respect to the WMIH Series B preferred stock and the underlying common stock. On January 5, 2018, WMIH entered into an amendment to such Registration Rights Agreement (which we refer to, as amended, as the “Series B registration rights agreement”), pursuant to which WMIH agreed to use reasonable efforts to file a shelf registration statement (or, as permitted, an amendment to any existing shelf registration statement) with the SEC as promptly as practicable after January 5, 2018, but no later than June 15, 2018, with respect to (i) resales of the shares of the WMIH Series B preferred stock that are Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in the Series B registration rights agreement) and (ii) resales of the shares common stock that are Transfer Restricted Securities and (a) issuable upon the conversion of shares of the WMIH Series B preferred stock, (b) issuable as a Regular Dividend (as defined in the WMIH charter) and (c) issuable as a Special Distribution (as defined in the WMIH charter). As a result of KKR Wand contributing its 200,000 shares of WMIH Series B preferred stock to Wand Investors, Wand Investors have registration rights with respect to the WMIH Series B preferred stock held by such entities in accordance with the terms of the Series B registration rights agreement.

Additionally, pursuant to the engagement letter with KCM, upon consummation of a “Qualified Acquisition” (as such term is defined in the WMIH charter), WMIH is obligated to pay KCM an additional fee of $8.25 million (also as described above), which WMIH has recorded in “other liabilities” on its consolidated balance sheet, and this amount is included in “accrued fees relating to WMIH Series B preferred stock issuance” on WMIH’s consolidated statement of cash flows.

Pursuant to the transition services agreement, the Trust previously provided WMIH with office space for its employees and other basic infrastructural and support services to facilitate WMIH’s operations. In June 2015, WMIH moved into new office space and now pays for such office space directly at an average rate of approximately $5,700 per month. WMIH pays the Trust a monthly overhead charge of approximately $6,122 relating to general support services, technology services and the use of supplies and equipment. For fees relating to the general support services, technology services and the use of supplies and equipment, WMIH paid the Trust approximately $55,164, $55,164 and $60,714 during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

Potential Participation by WMIH in Proceeds Received with Respect to Recovery Claims

To the extent any electing creditor of the Debtors (as defined in the Bankruptcy Plan) received Common Stock of WMIH pursuant to a Reorganized Common Stock Election (as defined in the Disclosure Statement filed in connection with the Bankruptcy Plan), such

creditor’s share of the 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 WMIH Common Stock) was not issued. As a result, each creditor making such an election conveyed to WMIH, and WMIH retained an economic interest in, the Litigation Proceeds (as defined below, and such proceeds do not constitute part of the Liquidating Trust Assets) equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Litigation Proceeds such creditor otherwise would have received. “Litigation Proceeds” is defined in the Bankruptcy Plan, in relevant part, as the recoveries, net of related legal fees and other expenses, of the Trust on account of causes of action against third parties and includes Recovery Claims (as defined in the Bankruptcy Plan).

WMIH 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 “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.

On December 1, 2014, the Trust filed its Motion of WMI Liquidating Trust for an Order, Pursuant to Sections 105(a) and 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and Rule 9019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, (A) Approving Settlement Agreement Between WMI Liquidating Trust, Certain Directors and Officers and Insurers and (B) Authorizing and Directing the Consummation Thereof (as amended, modified or supplemented prior to the date hereof, the “D&O Settlement Motion”). Among other things, the D&O Settlement Motion sought approval of a settlement among the Trust, certain former directors and officers of WMI and certain insurance carriers that underwrote director and officer liability insurance policies for the benefit of WMI and its affiliates (including such former directors and officers). At a hearing held on December 23, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Trust’s D&O Settlement Motion. On January 5, 2015, certain non-settling officers appealed the Bankruptcy Court’s order granting the D&O Settlement Motion. In connection with the settlement of the D&O Litigation, including the appeal thereof by such non-settling officers, in May 2015, the Trust, such non-settling officers and certain insurance carriers entered into a Reserve Settlement Agreement (“RSA”) to settle the D&O Litigation, including the appeal thereof. Pursuant to the terms of the RSA, the parties agreed, among other things, that $3.0 million of the $37.0 million that had been required to be paid to the Trust pursuant to the settlement, would be placed into a segregated reserve account (the “RSA Reserve”) to be administered by a third party. Under the RSA, funds are released from the RSA Reserve to the Trust if and when certain designated conditions are satisfied. If and when these funds are released to the Trust, and to the extent WMIH is entitled to receive such funds in accordance with the Plan, it is anticipated that the Trust will make payments to WMIH in an amount equal to WMIH’s share of Litigation Proceeds as provided under the Plan.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, WMIH received approximately $7.8 million representing its share of the net Litigation Proceeds related to the settlement of the D&O Litigation. In September 2016 and September 2017, WMIH was informed that approximately $0.5 million of Litigation Proceeds was released from the RSA Reserve pursuant to the terms of the RSA, and that WMIH would receive approximately $123,000, for each year, of the released Litigation Proceeds, representing WMIH’s portion of the second and third distributions of $0.5 million from the initial $3.0 million of Litigation Proceeds held in the RSA Reserve. As of March 31, 2018, approximately $1.5 million remains on deposit in the RSA Reserve.

Due to the contingent nature of future distributions from the RSA Reserve, there can be no assurance that WMIH will receive any distributions from the remaining balance in the segregated reserve account in the future. As of December 31, 2017, WMIH had not received any Litigation Proceeds, other than as described above, and there can be no assurance that WMIH will receive any distributions on account of Litigation Proceeds in the future.

Relationship with CXO Consulting Group, LLC

CXOC, an entity owned by Mr. Jaeger, received approximately $264,000, $264,000 and approximately $305,000 for services performed as Interim Chief Financial Officer and Accounting Officer from WMIH during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Policies and Procedures for Approving Related Party Transactions

WMIH has adopted and maintains a Related Person Transaction Policy. The Related Person Transaction Policy is intended to ensure fairness in any transaction with WMIH that may occur when WMIH’s directors, executive officers and/or certain stockholders are involved (“related person”). When a related person becomes involved in a transaction or when the Chief Legal Officer of WMIH becomes aware of a potential transaction, several steps of analysis are to be undertaken to review, approve and/or ratify any such transaction. The Chief Legal Officer of WMIH is responsible for determining whether the transaction in question rises to the level of a related person transaction as defined by the Related Person Transaction Policy. If it is, then the Chief Legal Officer of WMIH also is required to determine whether such transaction requires disclosure in WMIH’s annual proxy statement or annual report on Form 10-K, as the case may be. The transaction in question is then either reported to the WMIH audit committee as approved or provided to the WMIH audit committee (or directly to the Chair if time is of essence) for further examination, and if appropriate, approval or ratification.

Director Independence

The Board has determined that each of the following members is an “independent director” under Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ listing standards: Diane B. Glossman, Michael J. Renoff, Steven D. Scheiwe and Michael L. Willingham.
