BUSINESS

General

With a history dating back to 1889, Washington Mutual, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, "Washington Mutual," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") is a consumer and small business banking company with operations in major U.S. markets. Based on its consolidated assets at December 31, 2007 the Company was the seventh largest among all U.S.-based bank and thrift holding companies.

Since the early 1990s, the Company has expanded its retail banking and lending operations organically and through a series of acquisitions of retail banking institutions and mortgage companies. On October 1, 2005, the Company acquired Providian Financial Corporation, a credit card lender, thereby entering the credit card lending business.

The Company's earnings are primarily driven by lending to consumers and small businesses and by deposit taking activities which generate net interest income, and by activities that generate noninterest income, including the sale and servicing of loans and the provision of fee-based services to its customer


It would most certainly want to retain that ability as its old share holders are still representative of that.
