Item 8.01  Other Events

Quarterly Summary Report
 
On July 30, 2014, WMI Liquidating Trust (the “Trust”), as successor-in-interest to Washington Mutual, Inc. (“WMI”) and WMI’s wholly-owned subsidiary, WMI Investment Corp. (collectively with WMI, the “Debtors”), filed the Trust’s Quarterly Summary Report for the period April 1, 2014 through June 30, 2014 (the “Quarterly Summary Report”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”) (Case Number 08-12229 (MFW)).  The Quarterly Summary Report is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.  The Quarterly Summary Report will be made available electronically on the internet website of the Trust at wmitrust.com.
 
Press Release
 
On July 30, 2014, the Trust issued a press release regarding a distribution of approximately $78 million to be made to certain beneficiaries.  The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Cautionary Statement Regarding Financial and Operating Data
 
The financial and operating data set forth in the Quarterly Summary Report was prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the quarterly operating guidelines as described in the Chapter 11 Trustee Handbook, United States Department of Justice, May 2004 in accordance with 28 U.S.C §1746(2).  The Quarterly Summary Report is limited in scope, covers only a limited time period, and is not intended to serve as a basis for investment in any security of any issuer.  The Quarterly Summary Report was prepared in accordance with liquidation basis accounting but was not audited or reviewed by an independent accountant, and is subject to future adjustment and reconciliation.  Given its limited scope, the Quarterly Summary Report does not include all adjustments and notes that would be required to report in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Results set forth in the Quarterly Summary Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results.
 
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
Exhibits hereto may contain certain estimates, statements of belief and assumptions that may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and/or covered by the “Bespeaks Caution” doctrine applied by the courts under the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws.  Such forward-looking statements are based on current plans, expectations, estimates and beliefs about the value of the assets of the Trust.  Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.  These statements are not guarantees of future payments to holders of beneficial interests in the Trust (“Liquidating Trust Interests”) and are subject to risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict.  These risks include, among other factors: (i) the Trust’s ability to obtain Court approval with respect to motions in the Debtors’ chapter 11 proceedings prosecuted by the Trust from time to time; (ii) the Trust’s ability to resolve disputed claims; (iii) risks associated with any litigation and other claims that might be brought against the Debtors or by or against the Trust in the future during the anticipated initial three year term of the Trust (which term may be extended for up to three more years or a maximum of six years, subject to certain limited exceptions, with the approval of the Court); and (iv) there is no liquidity for the Liquidating Trust Interests issued by the Trust, which are non-certificated and non-transferable other than by will, intestate succession or operation of law.
