This Statement is filed on behalf of Mallory Walker, whose residence is 3414 Lowell Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20016.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Concurrently with the closing of the Company’s initial public offering on December 20, 2010, the Company completed certain formation transactions through which Walker & Dunlop, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Formation Transactions”).  In connection with the Formation Transactions, Mr. Walker and certain other individuals and entities who owned direct and indirect equity interests in Walker & Dunlop, LLC contributed their respective interests in such entities to the Company in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock.   Mr. Walker received 5,022,640 shares of common stock in the Formation Transactions and sold 2,833,333 of such shares as a selling stockholder in the Company’s initial public offering, resulting in 2,189,307 shares currently owned by Mr. Walker.

 

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

The purpose of the Formation Transactions was to reorganize Walker & Dunlop, LLC into a corporate form of ownership in connection with the Company’s initial public offering.

Currently, all securities of the Company held by Mr. Walker are subject to a lock-up agreement entered into with the underwriters of the initial public offering that prohibits the sale of and other similar transactions related to such securities for a period of 365 days following the date of the prospectus relating to the Company’s initial public offering.

 

Mr. Walker has no present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in Items 4(a) though (j) of Schedule 13D.
