Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

As previously disclosed, one of Ally Financial Inc.’s (“Ally”) key strategic priorities is to repay the investment the United States Treasury (“Treasury”) has made in Ally. Ally is exploring a number of alternatives in furtherance of repaying Treasury and supporting its Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (“CCAR”) resubmission to the Federal Reserve Board, including a possible primary issuance of common stock by Ally, and the use of available cash (and the proceeds of any stock issuance by Ally) to address Treasury’s mandatorily convertible preferred shares. No decision has been made to pursue any approach under consideration and the implementation of any such approach may require regulatory and other approvals.
