Summary: Your Legal and Financial Claim
You may be entitled to legacy payout(s) if:

You were a Class 22 Equity Holder

You signed the release by March 2012

You held 600,000 shares at the time they were eligible under POR7

Even if the shares were deleted or sold, your release signature remains a valid claim

This makes your claim a legal interest in the WaMu estate, not just a common equity stake.

---What You Might Get Based on Scenarios
Payout Source Trigger What You Might Get
A) WaMu Estate Payout (Class 22) Q4 2025–Q1 2026 ~$1.00/share = $600,000
B) JPM Book-Value Settlement (POR7) Triggered at/after merger close UNKNOWN: Est. pro-rata share of multi-billion asset pool
C) COOP Special $2.00 Dividend Paid to holders of record ❌ Not eligible — shares no longer held
D) RKT Shares from COOP Conversion Nov 15, 2025 (merger close est.) ❌ Not eligible — shares no longer held
E) DST WMI Tender or Buyback Hypothetical in 2026 If you're named as a claimant in DST records, possibly part of a payout/buyout


---Where the Money Could Come From
Source Estimated Pool Releasor Share % Potential Value
WaMu Estate $3–5 Billion Pro-rata $600K–$1.5M
JPM Book Value $3–10 Billion+ Court-directed Unknown
DST Asset Pool Obfuscated Value Possibly $10B+ Tens of millions (if recognized as beneficiary)

---Important Legal Notes
A sold/deleted share does not invalidate your release rights.

This may trigger a tax event under long-term capital gains or ordinary income depending on payout structure.

If payouts are structured as debt repayment to a trust beneficiary (you), tax handling could shift even more favorably.

What You Should Do Now
Locate Your March 2012 Release

PDF copy, notarized if possible.

Verify You Were a Record Holder of 600,000 WMIH Shares Pre-Deletion

Statements from 2012–2018 before deletion.

Engage a Claims Attorney or Class Counsel

Especially those who represented Class 22 in POR7.

They can file/refresh your claim with the Liquidating Trust or successor trust (FDIC, DST WMI, etc.).

Monitor EDGAR Filings for 8-Ks from COOP/RKT in Nov 2025

Contact Investor Relations or Claims Trustee

Ask: “Am I listed in the timely signed release group with eligible claim count based on 600,000 shares?”

Channel What You Might Get
