This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on Form S-8 to Registration Statement No. 333-87675 shall become effective automatically upon the date of filing in accordance with Rules 456 and 464 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

EXPLANATORY NOTE: DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

On September 23, 1999, Washington Mutual, Inc., a Washington corporation (the “Registrant” and “WMI”), filed a registration statement on Form S-8 (Registration Statement No. 333-87675) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to $24,316,429 of unsecured obligations of WMI to pay deferred compensation in the future in accordance with the terms of the Washington Mutual Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors and Certain Highly Compensated Employees (the “Deferred Plan”). Under the Deferred Plan, WMI provided directors and eligible employees the opportunity to defer up to 100% of their cash compensation in exchange for equity shares under the Washington Mutual, Inc. Restricted Stock Plan.

As previously disclosed, on September 26, 2008, WMI and WMI Investment Corp. (“WMI Investment”, and collectively with WMI, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) (Case No. 08-12229 (MFW)). On February 23, 2012, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Debtors’ Seventh Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Plan”). As contemplated by the Plan, all existing securities and agreements evidencing an equity interest of the Debtors shall be cancelled as of the effective date of the Plan. Therefore, this Amendment is being filed to deregister, as of the date hereof, all securities registered but not sold under the Registration Statement and all amendments thereto.
