Item 2.01    Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
Ally Financial Inc. (“Ally”) previously announced that it had reached an agreement to sell, among other things, its operations in Latin America (“Latin American Operations”) pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated November 21, 2012, between Ally and General Motors Financial Company, Inc. (“GMF”), a wholly owned subsidiary of General Motors Co., as subsequently amended and restated on February 22, 2013 (as amended and restated, the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”).
On October 1, 2013, Ally completed the sale of its remaining Latin American Operations, which included its operations in Brazil (the “Sold Business”). The disposition of the Sold Business under the Purchase and Sale Agreement took the form of the sale of equity interests directly and indirectly held by Ally in the entities comprising the Sold Business. Ally received approximately $611 million in total consideration for the Sold Business at closing, which is subject to certain post-closing adjustments based on the actual net asset value of the Sold Business and certain other items.
The Sold Business was classified by Ally as discontinued operations as of December 31, 2012, and its operating results were removed from Ally's continuing operations and were presented separately as discontinued operations, net of tax, in Ally's Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Ally's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as well as Ally's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013.
The Purchase and Sale Agreement related to the Sold Business was filed as Exhibit 10.21 to Ally's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 1, 2013.
