Note 1: Establishing the Trust
The Plan provides for the creation of the Trust. On or shortly after the Effective Date, certain of the Debtors’ assets were transferred to the Trust for the benefit of those stakeholders who were not paid in full as part of the Initial Distribution made on or about March 23, 2012, or whose claim was disputed or otherwise unresolved. The Trust is and will continue to be responsible for liquidating, converting to cash, and distributing the Trust’s assets to the Trust’s beneficiaries. The beneficiaries have received, and will continue to receive, under certain circumstances as specified by the Plan, beneficial interests in the Trust in exchange for their unpaid claims against or equity interests in the Debtors (“Liquidating Trust Interests” or “LTIs”). The LTIs are not transferable except by will, intestate succession or operation of law. The outstanding balance for LTIs as of March 31, 2018 is reported on the “Rollforward of Liquidating Trust Interests” included in this report. Creditors who held unpaid claims as of the Effective Date and who were projected to receive recoveries under the Plan as of such date have received or will receive LTIs for their unpaid Allowed Claims entitling them to distributions from or by the Trust in accordance with the subordination provisions of the Plan. If distributions from the Trust become available to creditors and former holders of equity securities issued by WMI who provided timely releases in accordance with the plan, and have not received LTIs, additional LTIs will be issued to effectuate future distributions. In addition, the Liquidating Trustee administers the Disputed Claims Reserve (“DCR”). Holders of claims that have not been allowed did not receive cash or LTIs as part of the Initial Distribution, and such assets were transferred to the DCR pending resolution of claims. Since the Effective Date, the DCR balances have changed due to the disallowance or allowance of disputed claims as well as payment on behalf of LTIs held by the DCR. The Trust, as a liquidating trust, is intended to qualify as a grantor trust for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. A grantor trust is generally not treated as a separate taxpaying entity (i.e., it is treated as a pass-thru entity); as such, we do not anticipate that the Trust will be subject to U.S. federal or state income taxation. See Note 4.
