Thanks Silly, I believe it may be something that my bank thankfully did for me, as the new share amount of wmih (long since sold) was exactly a computation of .03 for each common held (and still held at zero value, since there is nothing we can do with them that I'm aware of other than wait it out). I tried once to shift them from my IRA account with the bank to another trading-brokerage account (with the same bank), since due to the great depression I had ample capital losses in the other account, and in any case if we did receive something for them at some time, I could have sold them tax free due to offsetting capital losses. However, the bank would not let me move them-even though I argued that there was no value associated with them. The bank acted like that most likely there would be value at some time.

Silly, fwiw, it's always been my understanding that if you didn't release, you would not have been granted WMIH shares when they were initially introduced.

sillyinvestor and Black Hills, if you signed releases by 3/2012 you would have received NewCo/WMIH shares along with Escrow ShareMarkers with your timely signed releases. The following are numbers from SG Edgar Sargent who is the attorney that worked on the WaMu deal.

You should have CUSSIP that align with former WaMu common shares which is 939ESC968 and former WaMu Preferred which is 939ESC992 and this means you signed timely releases.
