This document supplements the prospectus dated September 4, 2001, relating to
the units. Each unit consists of:
o a preferred security issued by Washington Mutual Capital Trust 2001
(the "Trust"), having a stated liquidation amount of $50, representing
an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust, which
assets consist solely of subordinated debentures issued by Washington
Mutual, Inc. each of which has a principal amount at maturity of $50,
a stated maturity of July 1, 2041 and, at any time, an accreted value
as described in the prospectus; and
o a warrant to purchase at any time prior to the close of business on
May 3, 2041, 1.2081 shares of common stock of Washington Mutual. The
exercise price of each warrant on the initial date of issuance was
$32.33 and will accrete on a daily basis as described in the
prospectus to $50 on the expiration date.
At any time after issuance of the units, the preferred security and warrant
components of each unit may be separated by the holder and transferred
separately. Thereafter, a separated preferred security and warrant may be
combined to form a unit.
The information in this prospectus supplements the information set forth under
