On December 20, 2017, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”) entered an order granting a motion filed by WMI Liquidating Trust (the “Trust”), as successor-in-interest to Washington Mutual, Inc. and WMI Investment Corp., to extend the term of the Trust until March 19, 2021. The motion was filed by the Trust on December 4, 2017, following receipt of a private letter ruling, dated November 21, 2017, from the Internal Revenue Service, confirming that an extension of time of the Trust’s term to March 19, 2021 will not adversely affect the determination that the Trust is a liquidating trust under Rev. Proc. 94-45, 1994-2 C.B. 684, and Treas. Reg. § 301.7701-4(d).
On January 5, 2018, the Trust issued a press release announcing the Court order, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
