I know we are all anxious to hear the first acquisition/merger news from WMIH. While there are several possible reasons to cause this merger to be delayed, my take is that the delay has no impact whatsoever with the growth of WMIH in the future, in particular for WMIH to grow to be large enough to be able to merge with a KKR subs. Why is that? It's because the company that WMIH will merge with already exists and it is growing its revenue as well as customers everyday. That company does not depend on WMIH in order to grow. At some point, the merger will happen and WMIH will reap the benefits from the business of the other company while the other company will gain the benefits of WMIH NOL. In the mean time, the other company continues to grow everyday and so the target date for WMIH to grow to certain size will not be affected. And so I think that KKR and WMIH are in no rush of finalizing and announcing the merger until certain things are completed.
Possible reasons for merger delay:
- The merger is waiting for some acquisitions/merger by KKR to complete
- The merger is awaiting the approval by the IRS to protect the NOL
- Negotiations with the merger company are still going on
