"In late 2019 Plaintiff received information from another Legacy Holder in communication with an employee of a major securities broker (the “Source”). The Source stated that when Plaintiff’s federal appeals are finally adjudicated and the Trust dissolved,3 Mr. Cooper will distribute Mr. Cooper Stock to Legacy Holders. The Source stated that defendant Mr. Cooper is in possession of approximately $550 billion in mortgage-backed securities and/or mortgages owned by WMI or the Trust (the “MBS”) which assets are subject to interests of Plaintiff and other Legacy Holders. 22. In early April 2021 the Source stated that all the MBS would be given to Mr. Cooper by June 30, 2021 and that the Mr. Cooper Stock disbursed by various brokers. The Source further said that Mr. Cooper was obligated to report receipt of the MBS in its ’34 Act filings in the same quarter as the date of receipt but did not do so while Plaintiff’s Third Circuit litigation with the Trust survived and is planning to disburse the Mr. Cooper Stock regardless of the Final Decree. The Source was told that: “Griffin will be surprised.” The Source indicated that Mr. Cooper’s management was very anxious about fulfilling its ‘34 Act regulatory reporting requirement with respect to the MBS. The Source also indicated that the value of the MBS had increased to about $600 billion.4 (The current value is unsurprising given the total MBS retained by WMI in its securitizations through 2008 totaled approximately $135 billion according to archived WMI ’34 Act filings.) 5 Further, the Source stated that in addition to the Mr. Cooper Stock, Legacy Holders will contemporaneously receive a cash payout of 2.5x par. 23. The Source further revealed that circulating within his/her enterprise was an internal memorandum listing the names of Legacy Holders, their holdings, and indicating these persons would be treated as private wealth clients rather than retail clients once they received the Mr. Cooper Stock."
