As of June 30, 2018, there was $591,600,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes and $205,955,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes outstanding. The 2021 Notes Indenture and the 2022 Notes Indenture were each filed as Exhibit 4.10 and Exhibit 4.12 to Nationstar’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2018.

On July 31, 2018, upon the consummation of the Merger, Nationstar, certain subsidiaries of Nationstar (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and the Trustee entered into a supplemental indenture (the “Completion Date Supplemental Indenture”) to the Indenture, dated as of July 13, 2018 (as supplemented, the “New Notes Indenture”), among Merger Sub, WMIH and the Trustee, governing the 8.125% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”) and 9.125% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes” and, together with the 2023 Notes, the “New Notes”), initially issued by Merger Sub, pursuant to which Nationstar assumed Merger Sub’s obligations under the New Notes and the New Notes Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantors agreed to guarantee, jointly and severally with WMIH, on a senior unsecured basis, all of Nationstar’s obligations under the New Notes and the New Notes Indenture.

The New Notes Indenture was previously filed as Exhibit 4.1 to WMIH’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on July 13, 2018.

The foregoing description of each of the 2021 Notes Supplemental Indenture, the 2022 Notes Supplemental Indenture and the Completion Date Supplemental Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2021 Notes Supplemental Indenture, the 2022 Notes Supplemental Indenture and the Completion Date Supplemental Indenture, as the case may be, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1, Exhibit 4.2 and Exhibit 4.3 to WMIH’s Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

In addition, upon the consummation of the Merger, on the Closing Date, WMIH assumed and adopted the Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan (“2012 Plan”).

In connection with such assumption of the 2012 Plan, Nationstar’s Board of Directors took certain actions and made certain amendments to the 2012 Plan (the “2012 Plan Amendments”), among other things, to reflect that awards under the 2012 Plan relate to WMIH Common Stock (as defined below) and to adjust the number of shares that may be issued under the 2012 Plan and the number of shares subject to individual awards, in each case, by the exchange ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The 2012 Plan and the 2012 Plan Amendment are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to WMIH’s Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.


Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On July 31, 2018, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Nationstar, with Nationstar as the surviving corporation. As a result of the Merger, Nationstar became a wholly-owned subsidiary of WMIH.

As a result of the Merger, each share of common stock of Nationstar, par value of $0.01 per share (“Nationstar Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) (other than shares held by WMIH or Nationstar and shares held by any holder of Nationstar common stock who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares under Delaware law (all such shares described in this parenthetical, “Excluded Shares”)) was converted into, subject to automatic proration and adjustment, either (i) if the holder of such share made a valid cash election, $18.00 in cash (the consideration described in this clause (i), the “Cash Election Consideration”), or (ii) if the holder of such share made a valid stock election (or failed to make a valid election), 12.7793 shares of common stock of WMIH, par value $0.00001 per share (“WMIH Common Stock”) (the consideration described in this clause (ii), the “Stock Election Consideration”). Based on the preliminary election results previously announced by WMIH and Nationstar on July 27, 2018, the Cash Election Consideration will be subject to automatic proration and adjustment, as described in the Merger Agreement and in the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus dated May 31, 2018, filed by WMIH with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 1, 2018, as amended and supplemented from time to time (the “Prospectus”), to ensure that the total amount of cash paid (excluding cash paid in lieu of fractional shares) equals exactly $1,225,885,248.00. The Stock Election Consideration will not be prorated. After the final Merger Consideration election results are determined, the final allocation and proration of Merger Consideration will be calculated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

For payments to holders of Nationstar Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) in connection with the Merger, WMIH deposited with Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the exchange agent for the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”), a total of approximately 397 million shares of WMIH Common Stock and a total of $1,225,885,248.00 in cash to be issued and paid to Nationstar stockholders, in the aggregate. No fractional shares of WMIH Common Stock were issued in the Merger. Accordingly, Nationstar stockholders became entitled to receive cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any, of WMIH Common Stock. WMIH will deposit with the Exchange Agent, from time to time, an additional amount in cash sufficient to pay cash in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, (i) each outstanding share of Nationstar restricted stock automatically vested in full effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and was converted into the right to receive either the Cash Election Consideration or the Stock Election Consideration, as elected by the holder thereof in accordance with the procedures set out in the Merger Agreement and (ii) each outstanding Nationstar restricted stock unit, whether vested or unvested, automatically vested in full effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and, at the Effective Time, was assumed by WMIH and was converted into a WMIH restricted stock unit entitling the holder thereof to receive upon settlement either the Cash Election Consideration or the Stock Election Consideration, as elected by the holder of the Nationstar restricted stock unit award in accordance with the procedures set out in the Merger Agreement, based on the number of shares of Nationstar Common Stock underlying or represented by the number of Nationstar restricted stock unit awards as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Nationstar restricted stock unit awards and Nationstar restricted stock awards that were granted between the signing of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time did not automatically vest solely as a result of the Merger, but instead were automatically assumed by WMIH at the Effective Time and converted into a WMIH restricted stock unit award or restricted stock award, as applicable, with respect to a number of WMIH shares equal to the number of shares of Nationstar Common Stock underlying the award multiplied by the exchange ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement (12.7793). Such converted awards have the same vesting schedule as the underlying Nationstar awards and will automatically vest upon a termination of the grantee’s service without “cause” (as defined in the applicable award agreement) within 12 months after the Effective Time.

The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to WMIH’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 14, 2018, and is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.


Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report relating to the 2021 Notes Indenture and the 2022 Notes Indenture is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On February 12, 2018, WMIH and KKR Wand Holdings Corporation (“Wand Holdings”) entered into a Warrant Exchange Agreement (the “Warrant Exchange Agreement”). At the Effective Time, pursuant to the Warrant Exchange Agreement, Wand Holdings surrendered to WMIH the warrants it held (which were exercisable for an aggregate of 61,400,000 shares of WMIH Common Stock) in exchange for WMIH issuing 21,197,619 shares of WMIH Common Stock to Wand Holdings (the “Warrant Exchange”).

The Warrant Exchange was made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the offer and sale of WMIH Common Stock in the Warrant Exchange did not involve a public offering of WMIH Common Stock. Wand Holdings has represented that it is acquiring the shares pursuant to the Warrant Exchange for its own account, for investment only, and not with a view to any resale or public distribution thereof.

The foregoing description of the Warrant Exchange Agreement and the Warrant Exchange does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 10.4 to WMIH’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 14, 2018, and is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.
