DALLAS, Aug. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- WMIH Corp. (NASDAQ: WMIH) ("WMIH") today announced the final results of the elections made by Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. ("Nationstar") stockholders as to the form of merger consideration they desired to receive in the merger that closed on July 31, 2018.

• Nationstar stockholders who made a valid election for Cash Consideration will receive cash for approximately 94% of their shares and will retain stock for approximately 6% of their shares. More specifically, for each share of Nationstar common stock held, $16.917371 in cash (approximately 94% of $18.00) and 0.7686 shares of common stock of WMIH (approximately 6% of 12.7793) will be distributed; and
• Nationstar stockholders who made a valid election for Stock Consideration (including those deemed to have made an election to receive Stock Consideration) will receive 12.7793 shares of common stock of WMIH for each share of Nationstar common stock held.
