| (a) | Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
As previously disclosed by WMI Holdings Corp. (“the Company”) on its Form 8-K filed April 16, 2012, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company on April 10, 2012 approved the dismissal of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately.
This Form 8-K/A amends the Form 8-K filed by the Company on April 16, 2012 to confirm that Deloitte has acknowledged that the client-auditor relationship has ceased and to file Deloitte’s letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
On April 12, 2012, the Company provided Deloitte with a copy of the disclosures it is making in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K in this Form 8-K and requested that Deloitte provide the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Deloitte agrees with the disclosures. A copy of such letter, dated April 20, 2012 is attached as Exhibit 16.1.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 8-K and the exhibits contain certain statements that may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current plans, expectations, estimates and management’s beliefs about the Company’s future performance. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and which may cause the Company’s actual results and performance to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in any such forward-looking statements. These risks include, among other factors, changes in business, economic and market conditions, changes in government regulation, and changes in the competitive environment in which the Company operates. Some of the specific risks that are associated with the Company include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) the Company does not currently intend to have any of its securities listed on an exchange or a national market and, therefore, its common stock may have less liquidity than exchange-traded securities; (ii) transfers of the common stock of the Company are and will continue to be subject to certain transfer restrictions as set forth in the Articles and Bylaws; (iii) there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to successfully utilize the net operating losses that will be retained by the Company; and (iv) the Company may need to seek regulatory approval from the Hawaii State Insurance Commissioner from time to time with respect to certain aspects of WM Mortgage Reinsurance Company, Inc.’s operations. Unless required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements. However, readers should carefully review the statements set forth in the reports, which the Company has filed or will file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
