A Catalyst For WMI Holdings To Finally Begin Utilizing Their NOLs
| Apr. 22, 2015 3:42 PM ET | About: WMI Holdings Corp (WMIH), Includes: KKR
Disclosure: The author is long WMIH, ALJJ, SWKH. (More...)
Summary
WMIH's annual meeting on April 28 will set up the company to finally make an acquisition.
Nearly $6 billion of Net Operating Losses are a massive asset and will soon be put to use.
Incentives are in place for a large, levered transaction.
WMI Holdings (OTCQB:WMIH) has been a fascinating company ever since JP Morgan (NYSE:JPM) picked up the remains of WMI's predecessor, Washington Mutual. April 28 may finally be the day when the new company can move forward towards its promising future. That's the day when the company will be holding its 2015 annual meeting and shareholders will vote on several measures that will set it up to make a major acquisition.
Followers of the company know that KKR committed to making a significant investment in WMI in early 2014. KKR (NYSE:KKR) subsequently amended and added to that investment in January 2015, effectively taking control of the company. These transactions were structured as convertible preferred stock to allow the company to retain its valuable net operating losses (NOLs). These NOLs will shield $5.97 billion of earnings from federal income tax, a massive asset. These NOLs won't begin to expire until 2031, which gives WMI and KKR plenty of time to use them up.
