 Exhibit 10.6 

RESTRICTIVE COVENANT AGREEMENT 

As provided for under that certain employment agreement by and between WMIH Corp. (the “Company”) and Thomas Fairfield
(“Executive”), made as of May 15, 2015 (as amended, the “Employment Agreement”), upon the consummation of a Qualifying Acquisition (as defined in the Employment Agreement), and in consideration for the rights
and benefits provided to Executive under the Employment Agreement, Executive agrees to abide by all of the terms and conditions of this restrictive covenant agreement (the “Agreement”). Executive acknowledges and agrees that this
Agreement, and the terms and conditions herein, are material terms of Executive’s employment relationship with the Company, and that the Company would not have hired Executive and entered into the Employment Agreement but for Executive’s
execution of, and compliance with, this Agreement. 
 1.    Confidential Information. 

(a)    Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive is bound by certain covenants not to disclose or
use Confidential Information (as defined in the Employment Agreement) as provided for in the Employment Agreement. 

(b)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Employment Agreement to the contrary, in
accordance with the Defend Trade Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), and other applicable law, nothing in this Agreement, the Employment Agreement, or any other agreement or policy shall prevent Executive from, or expose Executive to criminal or
civil liability under federal or state trade secret law for, (i) directly or indirectly sharing any Company Entity’s (as defined below) trade secrets or other Confidential Information (except information protected by any Company
Entity’s attorney-client or work product privilege) with an attorney or with any federal, state, or local government agencies, regulators, or officials, for the purpose of investigating or reporting a suspected violation of law, whether in
response to a subpoena or otherwise, without notice to the Company Entities, or (ii) disclosing trade secrets in a complaint or other document filed in connection with a legal claim, provided that the filing is made under seal. Further, nothing
herein shall prevent Executive from discussing or disclosing information related to Executive’s general job duties or responsibilities and/or regarding employee compensation. Executive also may disclose Confidential Information as required in
response to a subpoena or other legal process, in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in Paragraph 2, below. 

(c)    For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person,
all Persons controlling, controlled by, or under common control with such Person; (ii) “Company Entities” means, collectively, the Company and each and all of its Affiliates; (iii) “Company Parties” means,
collectively, each and all of the Company Entities and each and all of their respective principals, members, officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, partners, consultants, contractors, fiduciaries, representatives, and agents; and
(iv) “Person” means any individual, partnership, joint venture, association, corporation, trust, estate, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, or any other legal entity. 

 2.    Legal Process. Except as provided in Paragraph 1, above,
Executive agrees that in the event Executive is served with a subpoena, document request, interrogatory, or any other legal process that will or may require Executive to disclose any Confidential Information, whether during Executive’s
employment or thereafter (regardless of whether Executive resigns or is terminated, or the reason for such resignation or termination), Executive will immediately notify an officer of the Company of such fact, in writing, and provide a copy of such
subpoena, document request, interrogatory, or other legal process, unless such subpoena, document request, interrogatory, or other legal process (i) is from a court or governmental agency, and (ii) explicitly prohibits Executive from doing
so. 
 3.    Non-Competition. As a further material inducement for the
Company to employ Executive under the Employment Agreement, Executive agrees that during the period commencing on the Effective Date (as defined in the Employment Agreement) and ending on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Date of
Termination (as defined in the Employment Agreement) (such period, the “Restricted Period”), Executive shall not, without the express written consent of a duly authorized officer of the Company (which consent may be granted or
withheld in any such officer’s sole and absolute discretion), directly or indirectly: (a) advise or participate in the management of any Competing Business (as defined below); (b) act as a partner, member, or employee of any Competing
Business; (c) act as a manager, advisor, or consultant to any Competing Business; (d) establish or organize (whether alone or with others) any Competing Business; or (e) be associated in any way with any Competing Business in any
other relationship or capacity; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Executive from investing Executive’s personal assets in the securities of any Competing Business if such securities are (i) traded on a
national stock exchange or on the over-the-counter market and if such investment does not result in Executive beneficially owning, at any time, more than five percent
(5%) of the publicly-traded equity securities of such Competing Business, or (ii) not traded on a national stock exchange or on the over-the-counter market if such
investment is as a passive investor and such investment does not result in Executive beneficially owning, at any time, more than five percent (5%) of any class of equity securities of such Competing Business. As used in this Agreement,
“Competing Business” means the business of reinsuring mortgage insurance policies. 
 4.    Non-Solicitation. Executive agrees that during the Restricted Period, Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of a duly authorized officer of the Company (which may be granted or withheld in any
such officer’s sole and absolute discretion), directly or indirectly, whether on behalf of or for the benefit of Executive or any other Person, whether as an employee, principal, partner, owner, officer, director, individual, member,
consultant, contractor, volunteer, representative, agent, or in any other capacity whatsoever, and whether or not for compensation: 

(a)    (i) solicit, induce, or encourage the resignation or termination of, or attempt to solicit, induce,
or encourage the resignation or termination of, any employee, contractor or consultant of the Company; (ii) interfere, or attempt to interfere, in any way with the relationship between the Company, on the one hand, and any of its employees,
contractors or consultants on the other hand; or (iii) solicit, hire, recruit, employ, engage, or retain; or allow Executive’s name to be used in connection with the solicitation, hiring, recruiting,

  
 2 

 
employing, engaging, or retention of, any Person who as of such date, or at any time during the twelve (12) months preceding such date, is or was an employee, contractor or consultant of the
Company; or 
 (b)     (i) (A) solicit any Person that is a customer or supplier of the Company or
was a customer or supplier of the Company at any time during the twelve (12) months preceding such date (collectively, a “Protected Client”), or (B) accept, participate in accepting, or aid, assist, or direct anyone in
procuring or accepting, any business from any Protected Client; or (ii) interfere with, diminish, appropriate, seize, solicit, divert, or usurp any business, commercial, investment, financial, strategic, or other opportunity of, or relating to,
the Company, or any opportunity or project of which Executive became aware or on which Executive worked while employed by the Company or while affiliated with the Company (including as an employee, officer, director, manager, adviser, consultant,
contractor, representative, agent or otherwise). 
 (c)    Notwithstanding anything in clause
(a) above to the contrary, Executive shall be permitted to solicit employees, consultants and contractors of the Company (i) with whom Executive had pre-existing business relationships as of the
Effective Date or (ii) that regularly provide services to multiple clients. 
 5.    Acknowledgement.
Executive hereby acknowledges that the limitations set forth in Paragraphs 1 through 4 of this Agreement are fair and reasonable, and will not prevent Executive from earning a livelihood after Executive leaves the Company’s employ. Executive
recognizes that these restrictions are appropriate based on the special and unique nature of the services Executive has rendered and will continue to render, the access to Confidential Information that Executive has enjoyed and will continue to
enjoy, the access to Company clients that Executive has had and will continue to have as a result of Executive’s employment and position with the Company, and the risks that the Company will face absent such restrictions. Executive agrees that
should Executive breach any of the provisions of Paragraph 3 or Paragraph 4, above, the running of the Restricted Period shall be tolled during the period of such breach. 

6.    Remedy for Breach. Executive agrees that Executive’s breach or threatened breach of any of the
restrictions set forth in Paragraphs 1 through 4 of this Agreement will result in irreparable and continuing damage to the Company Parties for which there is no adequate remedy at law. Thus, in addition to the Company’s right to arbitrate
disputes hereunder, the Company Parties shall be entitled to obtain emergency equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order and/or preliminary injunction, in aid of arbitration, from any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction,
without first posting a bond, to restrain any such breach or threatened breach. Such relief shall be in addition to any and all other remedies, including the recovery of monetary damages, attorneys’ fees, and costs, available to the Company
Parties against Executive for such breaches or threatened breaches. Upon the issuance (or denial) of an injunction, the underlying merits of any dispute will be resolved in accordance with the arbitration provisions of Section 10(e) of the
Employment Agreement. 

  
 3 

 7.    Arbitration.
Except as provided in Paragraph 6 of this Agreement, the parties irrevocably and unconditionally agree that any past, present, or future dispute, controversy, or claim arising under or relating to this Agreement or the Employment Agreement;
arising under any federal, state, local, or foreign statute, regulation, constitution, law, ordinance, or the common law (including any law prohibiting discrimination, harassment or retaliation); or arising in connection with Executive’s
employment or affiliation or the termination thereof; involving Executive, on the one hand, and any of the Company Parties, on the other hand, including both claims brought by Executive and claims brought against Executive, shall be submitted for
resolution to binding arbitration as provided in Section 10(e) of the Employment Agreement. 
 8.    Entire
Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Employment Agreement, replaces and supersedes any and all previous or existing agreements, arrangements, or understandings, whether oral or written, between Executive and any Company Entity relating
to the terms and conditions of Executive’s relationship with the Company Entities. Executive specifically acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any discussions or negotiations Executive may have had with any of the Company Parties prior
to the execution of this Agreement, Executive is not relying on any promises or assurances other than those explicitly contained in this Agreement and the Employment Agreement. This Agreement and the Employment Agreement contain the entire agreement
and understanding of the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein, and the terms and conditions of Executive’s employment. 

9.    Amendments and Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be amended modified, waived, or discharged except
as agreed to in a writing signed by both Executive and a duly authorized officer of the Company. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be considered a waiver thereof or deprive
that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement. 

10.    Headings/Drafting. The headings in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall
not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be interpreted strictly in accordance with its terms, to the maximum extent permissible under governing law, and shall not be construed against or in favor of any party,
regardless of which party drafted this Agreement or any provision hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, the connectives “and,” “or,” and “and/or” shall be construed either disjunctively or conjunctively as necessary
to bring within the scope of a sentence or clause all subject matter that might otherwise be construed to be outside of its scope, and “including” shall be construed as “including without limitation.” 

11.    Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
DELAWARE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICTING PROVISION OR RULE THAT WOULD CAUSE THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF DELAWARE TO BE APPLIED. IN FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF
DELAWARE WILL CONTROL THE INTERPRETATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF UNDER SUCH JURISDICTION’S CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAW ANALYSIS, THE SUBSTANTIVE LAW OR SOME OTHER JURISDICTION WOULD ORDINARILY APPLY. 

  
 4 

 12.    Severability/Modification. If any provision of this
Agreement is determined to be unenforceable as a matter of governing law, an arbitrator or reviewing court shall have the authority to “blue pencil” or otherwise modify such provision so as to render it enforceable while maintaining the
parties’ original intent to the maximum extent possible. Each provision of this Agreement is severable from the other provisions hereof, and if one or more provisions hereof are declared invalid, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless
remain in full force and effect. 
 13.    Survival. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive’s
confidentiality, non-disparagement, and other post-employment covenants set forth in the Employment Agreement, remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and that Executive will comply
with such covenants. Executive also acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Agreement shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company. 

14.    Third Party Beneficiaries. Each and all of the Company Parties are intended to be, and are, third party
beneficiaries of this Agreement and shall be entitled to enforce this Agreement in accordance with its terms. 

15.    Assignment. This Agreement may be assigned by the Company. Upon such assignment, the rights and obligations
of the Company hereunder shall become the rights and obligations of such assigned party. Executive may not assign Executive’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 

16.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and
both of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile, PDF, and other true and accurate copies of this Agreement shall have the same force and effect as originals hereof.

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND 
RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS

This Separation Agreement and Release of All Claims (“Agreement”) is made by and between Lisa M. Wesolek (“Employee”), and Diamond Hill Capital Management, Inc. (“Employer” or “Company”).

WHEREAS, Employee’s employment with Employer will terminate effective December 31, 2018 (the “Separation Date”);

WHEREAS, Employee and Employer wish to enter into an agreement providing for an orderly separation of Employee’s employment and providing consideration for Employee to which Employee is not or may not be otherwise entitled;

NOW THEREFORE, in exchange for and in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, along with other good and valuable consideration, Employer and Employee hereby agree as follows:

1.Employment Terms.  Through the Separation Date, Employee agrees to conduct herself at all times in a professional and appropriate manner, to diligently complete any work, and only such work, as assigned to Employee by the Company's Board or Chief Executive Officer, to make herself reasonably available to the executive leadership team during the transition period leading up to the Separation Date, and to abide by all Company policies and practices governing Employee’s employment.  

2.Separation Benefits.  Employer shall provide Employee with the following benefits (the “Separation Benefits”) in connection with Employee’s separation of employment with Employer: 

(a)Salary at Employee’s current base salary of Twenty Thousand Eight Hundred Thirty-Three Dollars and Thirty-Three Cents ($20,833.33) per month including continuation of Employee’s 401K match, through December 31, 2018 (the “Salary Continuation Payments”), paid in accordance with existing Employer policy and payroll procedures; 

(b)A payment in the gross amount of One Million Five Hundred Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($1,515,000.00) (the “Supplemental Payment”), contingent on Employee signing a Supplemental Release following and valid through the Separation Date, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.  The Supplemental Payment will be paid on the first regularly scheduled payroll date following the effective date of the Supplemental Release; and 

(c)In the event that Employee elects continuation of health and/or dental benefits pursuant to COBRA at any time following the Effective Date hereof, Employer will pay 

Page 1 of 1

100% of the premiums for such coverage as long as such COBRA coverage is legally available to Employee.  Information regarding Employee’s COBRA rights and how to elect continuation coverage shall be provided under separate cover as required by law. 

The Separation Benefits described in this paragraph shall be the only payments and other benefits provided to or on behalf of Employee by Employer hereunder, and no interest on such amounts shall be paid.  Employer shall withhold all federal, state, and local taxes from the Salary Continuation Payments and the Supplemental Payment as required by law, and will report all payments required hereby on IRS Form W-2.  Employee acknowledges and agrees that no additional amounts are owed or will be paid to Employee for unused vacation, bonuses, commissions, sales-based incentive compensation, stock grants, or otherwise.  Except as otherwise required herein, by law, and/or by the applicable plan documents, all benefits provided to Employee by Employer will cease on the Separation Date.  Employee further acknowledges the receipt of all wages and other compensation or benefits to which Employee is entitled as a result of Employee’s employment with Employer through the Effective Date of this Agreement. 

3.Unvested Restricted Stock Grants.  All unvested restricted stock grants of shares of Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. shall be forfeited in their entirety upon the Effective Date of this Agreement.  

4.Fully Vested Sale-Restricted Stock Grants.  Employee owns 21,336 shares of fully vested common stock of Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc.  Of these, 10,926 shares have sale restrictions that extend to various dates past the Separation Date.  The Company agrees to remove the sale restrictions on these shares effective January 1, 2019. 

5.Release in Full of All Claims.  Employee, on her own behalf and on behalf of Employee’s heirs, administrators, executors, agents, and assigns, does hereby forever release and discharge Employer and its agents, servants, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions, members, trustees, partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, successors, predecessors, administrators, and assigns (hereinafter “the Released Parties”), from any and all charges, claims, demands, judgments, causes of action, damages, expenses, costs, and liabilities of any kind whatsoever.  Employee expressly acknowledges that the claims released by this paragraph include all rights and claims relating to Employee’s employment with Employer and the termination thereof, including without limitation any claims Employee may have under the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Equal Pay Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended by the Older Worker Benefit Protection Act, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, the Ohio Securities Act, Ohio R.C. Chapter 4112, any claims against Diamond Hill’s 401k Plan, and any other federal, state, or local laws or regulations governing employment relationships.  This Release specifically and without limitation includes a release of any claims for employment discrimination, wrongful discharge, breach of contract, or promissory estoppel, and extends to all claims of every nature and kind, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, presently existing or resulting from or attributable to any act or omission of Employer or the other Released Parties occurring prior to the execution of this Agreement.  The Release contained 

Page 2 of 2

herein does not apply to rights or claims first arising after the Effective Date of this Agreement.  Employee is cautioned and encouraged to seek the advice of counsel of Employee’s own choosing before signing this Agreement. 

6.Knowing and Voluntary Act.  Employee acknowledges and agrees that the release set forth above is a general release.  Employee, having been encouraged to and having had the opportunity to be advised by counsel, expressly waives all claims for damages which exist as of this date, but of which Employee does not now know or suspect to exist, whether through ignorance, oversight, error, negligence, or otherwise, and which, if known, would materially affect Employee’s decision to enter into this Agreement.  Employee further agrees that Employee accepts the Separation Benefits as a complete compromise of matters involving disputed issues of law and fact and assumes the risk that the facts and law may be other than Employee believes.  Employee further acknowledges and agrees that all the terms of this Agreement shall be in all respects effective and not subject to termination or rescission by reason of any such differences in the facts or law, and that Employee provides this release voluntarily and with full knowledge and understanding of the terms hereof.

7.No Claims, Charges, or Damages.  Employee represents that Employee knows of no facts or circumstances that would give rise to a claim of, by, or for Employee against Employer under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, or any state workers’ compensation law.  Employee further represents that Employee knows of no actions at law or in equity, or of any administrative proceedings or complaints, that are currently pending or filed that relate to Employee’s employment with, or separation from employment with, Employer.  If any such actions, complaints, or proceedings are currently pending, Employee expressly agrees to dismiss them with prejudice.  

8.Compliance With Older Worker Benefit Protection Act.  Employee specifically acknowledges and understands that this Agreement is intended to release and discharge any claims Employee may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended by the Older Worker Benefit Protection Act.

To accept, Employee must deliver an original signed copy of this Agreement to Jill Williams, Director of Human Resources, Diamond Hill Capital Management, Inc., 325 John H.

To revoke, Employee must deliver written notice of revocation to Jill Williams such that the notice is received on or before 5:00 P.M. on the seventh day following Employee’s execution of this Agreement.  This Agreement will not be effective or enforceable until the revocation period has expired, provided that during such time Employee does not revoke Employee’s acceptance (the “Effective Date”).   

9.Return of Property.  Employee agrees to return all Company property remaining in Employee’s possession or control, including without limitation any and all equipment, documents, credit cards, hardware, software, source code, data, keys, or access cards, on or

10.Confidentiality; Non-Disparagement.  (i)  Employee agrees to keep the terms and conditions of this Agreement confidential.  Except as specifically set forth below or to the extent that such information has to be made publicly available by virtue of any required regulatory filing,  Employee agrees not to, at any time, disclose the terms of this Agreement, in whole or in part, or any fact concerning the negotiation, execution, or implementation of this Agreement, including the existence and amount of the Separation Benefits; provided, however, that Employee may discuss the terms of this Agreement with:  (a) Employee’s attorney, tax advisor, and immediate family, on condition that any such persons agree in advance to keep such terms confidential and not disclose them to others; (b) any court of competent jurisdiction, the Internal Revenue Service, or other governmental agency, upon proper lawful request by such court or agency enforceable by law compelling such disclosure; and (c) upon written consent of Employer.  Employee further agrees not to reveal to any person, unless authorized by Employer in writing, any information relating to or concerning the confidential business, financial, or personal affairs of Employer, the other Released Parties, or any Clients of Employer or the other Released Parties, and agrees not to do or say anything to disparage Employer or any other Released Party or harm the business reputation enjoyed by Employer or any other Released Party with its clients or in the community at large.   

(ii) Likewise, Employer’s Executive Leadership Team shall keep the terms and conditions of this Agreement confidential and shall not, at any time, disclose the terms of this Agreement, in whole or in part, or any fact concerning the negotiation, execution, or implementation of this Agreement, including the existence and amount of the Separation Benefits, except to the extent that such information has to be made publicly available by virtue of any required regulatory filing; provided, however, that Employer may disclose such information as required by law or to persons Employer reasonably deems have a need to know such information in connection with the operation of Employer’s business, on condition that all such persons agree in advance to keep such terms confidential and not to disclose them to others.  Employer also agrees that its Executive Leadership Team shall not make any statements disparaging Employee’s reputation or her tenure with Employer.   

The provisions of this paragraph are expressly acknowledged by both parties to constitute material consideration for the obligations under this Agreement.

Page 4 of 4

13.Non-Admission.  This Agreement is not to be construed as an admission of liability or wrongdoing on the part of any party.  Employee and Employer further understand and agree that this Agreement shall not be admissible as evidence in any federal, state, county, municipal, or administrative proceeding, except that Employee and Employer may submit this Agreement to the appropriate court or agency in the event the other party breaches the same.

14.Right to Damages; Return of Separation Benefits.  In the event it is determined by an appropriate court that either party to this Agreement has not acted in accordance with  their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement, the aggrieved party may recover any applicable damages, including without limitation, for Employer, the value of the Separation Benefits provided in accordance with this Agreement together with the legal rate of interest for judgments under Ohio law, and for Employee, any unpaid Separation Benefits together with the then legal rate of interest for judgments under Ohio law.  In the event that Employee files any legal action asserting any claim released in accordance with this Agreement, then Employee agrees that Employee shall immediately repay to Employer the value of the Separation Benefits and shall also pay Employer the then legal rate of interest for judgments under Ohio law, computed on the value of the Separation Benefits beginning from the date that said Separation Benefits were provided, as a condition precedent to the maintenance of such a lawsuit; provided, however, that the terms of this paragraph shall not permit the setting aside of this Agreement by repayment of the value of the Separation Benefits without adjudication by a court that this Agreement is otherwise invalid.

15.Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio.

16.Choice of Forum.  The parties to this Agreement agree that jurisdiction for any action filed to enforce this Agreement or any provision hereof, or any action which involves interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof, shall be proper only in state court located in Franklin County, Ohio, or in federal court located in Columbus, Ohio.

17.No Waiver of Terms.  Failure to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any such term, covenant, or condition, nor shall any failure at any one time or more times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment at any other time or times of any right under the terms, covenants, or conditions hereof.

18.Enforceability.  This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted so as to be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be unlawful, improper, or unenforceable for any reason in any jurisdiction, such unenforceability shall not affect its validity or enforceability in any other jurisdiction, nor shall it affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.

19.Modifications.  No modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same be in a writing duly executed by all the parties hereto.
