Item 1.01 and 8.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement and Other Events

Ally Auto Assets LLC (“Ally Auto”) has registered an issuance of $24,098,660,000 in principal amount of asset backed notes on Form S-3 (Registration File No. 333-186227) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), filed on January 25, 2013, as amended by Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 on April 12, 2013 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”).

On June 10, 2014, Ally Auto and Ally Bank entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Barclays Capital Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), for the issuance and sale of certain asset backed notes of Ally Auto Receivables Trust 2014-1 (the “Issuing Entity”) in the following classes: (i) the Class A-2 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-2 Notes”), (ii) the Class A-3 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-3 Notes”) and (iii) the Class A-4 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-4 Notes” and collectively with the Class A-2 Notes and the Class A-3 Notes, the “Offered Notes”). The Offered Notes have an aggregate principal balance of $1,395,440,000. The Class A-1 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes (together with the Offered Notes, the Class A-1 Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes, the “Notes”) will be issued by the Issuing Entity. Only the Offered Notes have been registered pursuant to the Act under the Registration Statement. The Class A-1 Notes and the Certificates will initially be retained by the Depositor. The Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes will initially be held by an Affiliate of the Depositor. It is expected that the Notes will be issued on or about June 18, 2014 (the “Closing Date”).

This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to satisfy an undertaking to file copies of certain agreements executed in connection with the issuance of the Offered Notes, the forms of which were filed as Exhibits to the Registration Statement.

The Notes will be issued pursuant to an Indenture attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, to be dated as of the Closing Date between the Issuing Entity and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Indenture Trustee.

The Notes evidence indebtedness of the Issuing Entity, the assets of which will consist primarily of motor vehicle retail instalment sale contracts (the “Receivables”) secured by new and used automobiles and light duty trucks financed thereby.

On the Closing Date, the Receivables will have the characteristics described in the Prospectus Supplement, dated as of June 10, 2014, to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) of the Act on June 12, 2014.
