(1)	On July 2, 2015, Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc. ("SC"), Santander Holdings USA, Inc.'s ("SHUSA's") majority-owned subsidiary, announced the departure of Thomas G. Dundon from his roles as the Chairman of SC's Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of SC. In connection with his departure, on July 2, 2015, Mr. Dundon entered into a Separation Agreement with SC, DDFS LLC ("DDFS"), SHUSA, Santander Consumer USA Inc. (SC's wholly-owned subsidiary) and Banco Santander, S.A. ("Santander") (as subsequently amended, the "Separation Agreement"). In connection with, and pursuant to, the Separation Agreement, on July 2, 2015, SC, SHUSA, DDFS, Mr. Dundon and Santander agreed to the exercise of the call option provided for in the Shareholders Agreement dated as of January 28, 2014 among SC, SHUSA, DDFS, Mr. Dundon, Sponsor Auto Finance Holdings Series LP and, solely for certain sections set forth therein, Santander (as amended, the "Shareholders Agreement").
(2)	(Continued from footnote 1) Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, SHUSA was deemed to have delivered as of July 3, 2015 an irrevocable notice to exercise the call option with respect to the 34,598,506 shares of Common Stock owned by DDFS and to consummate the transactions contemplated by such call option notice, subject to required bank regulatory approvals and any other approvals required by law being obtained (the "Call Transaction"), at a price per share of Common Stock of $26.17. On August 31, 2016, in accordance with the Shareholders Agreement, Santander exercised its option to assume SHUSA's obligations to purchase the 34,598,506 shares of Common Stock in respect of the Call Transaction. On November 15, 2017, SC, DDFS, Mr. Dundon, SHUSA, Santander Consumer and Santander entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release, and thereafter Santander completed the purchase of the 34,598,506 shares of Common Stock in the Call Transaction and contributed those to SHUSA.
