Kerry Killinger, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Washington Mutual, Inc. (the “Company”), gave a presentation to investors at the Lehman Brothers Financial Services Conference in New York City on September 10, 2007. Copies of Mr. Killinger’s script and the electronic slides he presented are furnished by the Company as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
When presenting slide 15, Mr. Killinger stated that:
“Through the end of August, we have reduced our loans held for sale balance to $9 billion from $19 billion at the end of June, primarily through the transfer of nonperforming loans to our held for investment portfolio.”
The reduction in the Company’s loans held for sale balance to $9 billion at the end of August from $19 billion at the end of June was actually primarily through the transfer of nonconforming loans to the Company's held for investment portfolio. Of the transferred nonconforming loans, less than 1% were nonperforming loans.
The information in the preceding paragraphs, as well as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, is considered to be “furnished” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
