Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Service Agreements and Related Party Transactions	Note 6: Service Agreements and Related Party Transactions WMMRC has engaged a Hawaiian-based service provider, Marsh Management Services, Inc., to provide accounting and related management services for its operations. In exchange for performing these services, WMMRC pays such service provider a management fee. WMIH entered into an Investment Management Agreement and an Administrative Services Agreement with WMMRC on March 19, 2012. Each of these agreements was approved by WMMRC’s primary regulator, the Insurance Commission of the State of Hawaii. Total amounts incurred under these agreements totaled $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The expense and related income eliminate on consolidation. These agreements are described below. Under the terms of such Investment Management Agreement, WMIH receives from WMMRC a fee equal to the product of (x) the ending dollar amount of assets under management during the calendar month in question and (y) .002 divided by 12. WMIH is responsible for investing the funds of WMMRC based on applicable investment criteria and subject to rules and regulations to which WMMRC is subject. Under the terms of such Administrative Services Agreement, WMIH receives from WMMRC a fee of $110 thousand per month. WMIH is responsible for providing administrative services to support, among other things, supervision, governance, financial administration and reporting, risk management and claims management as may be necessary, together with such other general or specific administrative services that may be reasonably required or requested by WMMRC in the ordinary course of its business. On March 22, 2012, WMIH and the WMI Liquidating Trust (the “Trust”) entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the “TSA”). Pursuant to the TSA, the Trust makes available certain services and employees. The TSA provides the Company with basic infrastructure and support services to facilitate the Company’s operations. The TSA, as amended, extends the term of the agreement through July 31, 2016, with automatic renewals thereafter for successive additional three-month terms, subject to non-renewal at the end of any additional term upon written notice by either party at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the additional term. In connection with implementing the Plan, certain holders of specified “Allowed Claims” had the right to elect to receive such holder’s “Pro Rata Share of the Common Stock Allotment.” Essentially, the Plan defines the “Pro Rata Share of the Common Stock Allotment” as a pro rata share of ten million (10,000,000) shares of WMIH’s common stock (i.e. five percent (5%)) issued and outstanding on the Effective Date. Holders exercising the foregoing election did so in lieu of receiving (i) 50% of such holder’s interest in and to certain litigation proceeds that could be realized by the Trust on account of certain claims and causes of action asserted by the Trust as contemplated by the Plan (“Litigation Proceeds”), and (ii) some or all of the Runoff Notes to which such holder may be entitled (if such holder elected to receive Runoff Notes in accordance with the terms of the Plan). If a holder exercised the election described above and, as a result of such election, received shares of WMIH’s common stock, then such holder’s share of Runoff Notes to which the election was effective (i.e., One Dollar ($1.00) of original principal amount of Runoff Notes for each share of WMIH’s common stock) were not issued. In addition, as a result of making the aforementioned election, such holders conveyed to WMIH, and WMIH retained an economic interest in Litigation Proceeds, if any, recovered by the Trust in connection with certain litigation brought by the Trust as contemplated by the Plan. Distributions, if any, to WMIH on account of the foregoing will be effected in accordance with the Plan and the court order confirming the Plan. On or about October 14, 2014, the Trust filed a lawsuit in King County Superior Court in the State of Washington against 16 former directors and officers of WMI (the “D&O Litigation”). The Trust’s complaint alleged, among other things, that the defendants named therein breached their fiduciary duties to WMI and committed corporate waste and fraud by squandering WMI’s financial resources. In connection with the settlement of the D&O Litigation, during the year ended December 31, 2015, among the Trust, certain former directors and officers of WMI and certain insurance carriers that underwrote director and officer liability insurance policies for the benefit of WMI and its affiliates (including such former directors and officers), such insurance carriers agreed to pay the Trust $37.0 million, of which $3.0 million would be placed into a segregated reserve account (the “RSA Reserve”) to be administered by a third party pursuant to the terms of a Reserve Settlement Agreement (the “RSA”). During the year ended December 31, 2015, WMIH had other income of $7.8 million as a result of its receipt of net Litigation Proceeds related to the D&O Litigation. As of March 31, 2016, $2.5 million remains in the RSA Reserve. Under the RSA, funds are released from the RSA Reserve to the Trust if and when certain designated conditions are satisfied. If and when these funds are released to the Trust, and to the extent the WMIH is entitled to receive such funds in accordance with the Plan, it is anticipated the Trust will make payments to WMIH in an amount equal to WMIH’s share of Litigation Proceeds as provided under the Plan. Due to the contingent nature of future distributions from the RSA Reserve, there can be no assurance that WMIH will receive any distributions from the remaining balance in the RSA Reserve in the future. As of March 31, 2016, WMIH has not received any Litigation Proceeds, other than as described above, and there can be no assurance that WMIH will receive any distributions on account of Litigation Proceeds in the future. In preparation for the offering of the Series B Preferred Stock, WMIH engaged KKR Capital Markets LLC (“KCM”), an affiliate of KKR & Co. L.P., to act as a joint book-running manager for the Series B Preferred Stock offering. KCM also acted as an initial purchaser of the Series B Preferred Stock. During the year ended December 31, 2015, as a result of satisfying a post-closing covenant to reincorporate in the State of Delaware within 180 days following the closing of the Series B Preferred Stock offering, we paid $8.25 million to KCM. Upon consummation of a “Qualified Acquisition” (as such term is defined in the Series B Preferred Stock), we will pay KCM an additional fee (the “KCM Deferred Fee”) of $8.25 million.

WMMRC has engaged a Hawaiian-based service provider, Marsh Management Services, Inc., to provide accounting and related management services for its operations. In exchange for performing these services, WMMRC pays such service provider a management fee.

WMIH entered into an Investment Management Agreement and an Administrative Services Agreement with WMMRC on March 19, 2012. Each of these agreements was approved by WMMRC’s primary regulator, the Insurance Commission of the State of Hawaii. Total amounts incurred under these agreements totaled $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The expense and related income eliminate on consolidation. These agreements are described below.

Under the terms of such Investment Management Agreement, WMIH receives from WMMRC a fee equal to the product of (x) the ending dollar amount of assets under management during the calendar month in question and (y) .002 divided by 12. WMIH is responsible for investing the funds of WMMRC based on applicable investment criteria and subject to rules and regulations to which WMMRC is subject.

Under the terms of such Administrative Services Agreement, WMIH receives from WMMRC a fee of $110 thousand per month. WMIH is responsible for providing administrative services to support, among other things, supervision, governance, financial administration and reporting, risk management and claims management as may be necessary, together with such other general or specific administrative services that may be reasonably required or requested by WMMRC in the ordinary course of its business.
