Part I

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Substitute information provided in accordance with General Instruction J to Form 10-K:

Item 1112(b) of Regulation AB. Significant Obligors of Pool Assets (Financial Information).
 
There are no significant obligors with respect to the pool assets held by Ally Master Owner Trust (the “Issuing Entity”).
 
Item 1114(b)(2) of Regulation AB. Credit Enhancement and Other Support, Except for Certain Derivatives Instruments (Financial Information).

No entity or group of affiliated entities provides any external credit enhancement or other support with respect to either payment of the pool assets held by the Issuing Entity or payments on the notes (the “Notes”) or certificates (the “Certificates”) issued by the Issuing Entity.

Item 1115(b) of Regulation AB. Certain Derivatives Instruments (Financial Information).

No entity or group of affiliated entities provides any derivative instruments that are used to alter the payment characteristics of the cashflows from the Issuing Entity..

Item 1117 of Regulation AB. Legal Proceedings.

There are no current legal proceedings pending, or to the best knowledge of management of such entity, threatened, against the Issuing Entity, the sponsor, the servicer or the depositor that, if determined adversely to such party, would be expected to have a material adverse effect on the performance of the notes.

The owner trustee has represented to the Issuing Entity that it is not a party to any current legal proceedings, nor is its management aware of any legal proceedings threatened against it that, if determined adversely to such party, would be expected to have a material adverse effect on the performance of the notes.

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.”), as Indenture Trustee, has provided the following information for inclusion in this report on Form 10-K:

On June 18, 2014, a group of institutional investors filed a civil complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in its capacity as trustee under 276 residential mortgage backed securities ("RMBS") trusts. The complaint is one of six similar complaints filed contemporaneously against RMBS trustees (Deutsche Bank, Citibank, HSBC, Bank of New York Mellon and US Bank) by certain of the institutional investor plaintiffs. The complaint against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. alleges the trustee caused losses to investors and asserts causes of action based upon, among other things, the trustee's purported failure to enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers for alleged breaches of representations and warranties concerning loan quality, failure to notify securityholders of purported events of default allegedly caused by breaches by mortgage loan servicers and purported failure to abide by appropriate standards of care following events of default. Relief sought includes money damages in an unspecified amount, reimbursement of certain expenses and equitable relief. Other cases alleging similar causes of action have previously been filed against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and other trustees by RMBS investors in other transactions.

There can be no assurances as to the outcome of the litigation, or the possible impact of the litigation on the trustee or the RMBS trusts. However, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. denies liability and believes that it has performed its obligations under the RMBS trusts in good faith, that its actions were not the cause of losses to investors and that it has meritorious defenses, and it intends to contest the plaintiffs’ claims vigorously.

Part II

Item 9B. Other Information
