EXPLANATORY NOTE
WMIH Corp. (WMIH or the Registrant) hereby amends its Registration Statement on Form
S-4
(Registration
No. 333-223862)
filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the Commission) on March 23, 2018, as amended by
Pre-Effective
Amendment No. 1 filed on May 18, 2018, as further amended by
Pre-Effective
Amendment No. 2 filed on May 29, 2018 (the Form
S-4),
by filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on Form
S-8
relating to shares of common
stock of WMIH, par value $0.00001 per share (WMIH common stock), issuable upon the vesting of outstanding restricted stock awards or the settlement of outstanding restricted stock unit awards granted pursuant to terms of the Nationstar
Mortgage Holdings Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan (the Nationstar Plan; each such restricted stock award or restricted stock unit award, a Nationstar award). All such shares were previously
registered on the Form
S-4
but will be subject to issuance pursuant to this Post-Effective Amendment.
On July 31, 2018, WMIH and Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (Nationstar), consummated the merger
(the merger) of Wand Merger Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of WMIH (Merger Sub), with and into Nationstar, with Nationstar surviving the merger as provided by the Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated as of February 12, 2018 (the merger agreement) by and among WMIH, Merger Sub and Nationstar. Nationstars common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Nationstar common stock), is no longer publicly
outstanding, and shares of Nationstar common stock currently represent the right to receive the consideration described in the merger agreement (the merger consideration).
Effective as of immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, (i) each outstanding share of Nationstar restricted stock
automatically vested in full and converted into the right to receive the merger consideration, as elected by the holder thereof in accordance with the procedures set out in the merger agreement and (ii) each outstanding Nationstar restricted
stock unit, whether vested or unvested, automatically vested in full, was assumed by WMIH and converted into a WMIH restricted stock unit entitling the holder thereof to receive upon settlement the merger consideration, as elected by the holder of
the Nationstar restricted stock unit award in accordance with the procedures set out in the merger agreement, based on the number of shares of Nationstar common stock underlying or represented by the number of Nationstar restricted stock unit awards
as of immediately prior to the effective time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Nationstar restricted stock unit awards and Nationstar restricted stock awards that were granted between signing and closing did not automatically vest solely as a result
of the merger, but instead were automatically assumed by WMIH and converted into a WMIH restricted stock unit award or restricted stock award, as applicable, with respect to a number of WMIH shares equal to the number of shares of Nationstar common
stock underlying the award multiplied by the exchange ratio (12.7793). Such converted awards have the same vesting schedule as the underlying Nationstar awards, and will automatically vest upon a termination of the grantees service without
cause (as defined in the applicable award agreement) within 12 months after the effective time of the merger. Nationstar did not grant any restricted stock awards between signing and closing, and thus, no Nationstar restricted stock
awards were converted into WMIH restricted stock awards.
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on Form
S-8
to Form
S-4
(this Registration Statement) has been filed for the purpose of issuing up to 18,667,116 shares of WMIH common stock upon the vesting or
settlement of Nationstar awards. All such shares were previously registered on the Form
S-4
but will be subject to issuance pursuant to this Post-Effective Amendment.

|
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
|
The Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL)
permits a corporation to include a provision in its certificate of incorporation eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for damages for certain breaches of the directors fiduciary
duty. However, no such provision may eliminate or limit the liability of a director: (i) for any breach of the directors duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) for declaration of unlawful dividends or illegal redemptions or stock repurchases; or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the Certificate of Incorporation) of WMIH provides that a
director will not be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the directors duty of loyalty to the corporation or
its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, which concerns unlawful payments of dividends, stock purchases or redemptions, or (iv) for any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit. While these provisions provide directors with protection from awards for monetary damages for breaches of their duty of care, they do not eliminate such duty. Accordingly, these provisions
will have no effect on the availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or rescission based on a directors breach of his or her duty of care.
The DGCL permits a corporation to indemnify officers, directors, employees and agents for actions taken in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed
to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action, which they had no reasonable cause to believe was unlawful. Delawares laws provide that a corporation may advance expenses of defense
in certain circumstances, and permit a corporation to purchase and maintain liability insurance for its directors and officers.
The DGCL provides that
indemnification may not be made for any matter as to which a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent a court determines that the person is entitled to indemnity for
such expenses as the court deems proper.
The bylaws of WMIH provide that WMIH shall indemnify each person whom it may indemnify to the extent permitted
by the DGCL and that WMIH may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of WMIH, or of another entity at the request of WMIH. The Certificate of Incorporation provides
that WMIH shall indemnify its present and former directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL and that such indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under
any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
In connection with its January 2015 $600.0 million offering of
600,000 shares of 3.00% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share, liquidation preference $1,000 per share (such offering, the Series B Preferred Stock financing), WMIH entered into an indemnification agreement
with KKR Fund Holdings L.P. and Tagar Olson, pursuant to which WMIH will indemnify KKR Fund Holdings L.P. and Mr. Olson for liabilities arising out of the Series B Preferred Stock financing.
In addition, WMIH has entered into separate indemnification agreements with its directors and officers. Each indemnification agreement provides, among other
things, for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law against any and all expenses, losses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid or payable in settlement of any claim, including expenses for indemnification under WMIHs
Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws and/or recovery under any directors and officers liability insurance policies maintained by WMIH. The indemnification agreements provide for the advancement or payment of all expenses to the
indemnitee and for reimbursement to WMIH if it is found that such indemnitee is not entitled to such indemnification under applicable law and WMIHs Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws or to such recovery under WMIHs insurance
policies.
The foregoing is only a general summary of certain aspects of Delaware law and WMIHs Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws and
indemnification agreements dealing with indemnification of directors and officers, and does not purport to be complete. It is qualified in its entirety by reference to (i) the relevant provisions of the DGCL and (ii) WMIHs
Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws, and form of indemnification agreement, each of which is on file with the Commission.

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration
Fee table in the effective Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
Provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrants annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

the requirements for filing on Form
