This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to supply certain information regarding the composition of the receivables pool to investors.

The Receivables Pool

The following tables describe the pool of receivables for the issuing entity as of October 31, 2015 (the “pool date”).

Each of the percentages and averages in the tables is computed on the basis of the amount financed of each receivable as of the pool date. The “Weighted Average Annual Percentage Rate of all Receivables in Pool” and “Weighted Average Annual Percentage Rate of Non-Subvented Receivables in Pool” in the following tables are based on weighting by amount financed and remaining term of each receivable, each as of the pool date. The “Weighted Average Original Maturity” in the following tables is based on weighting by original undiscounted principal balance of each receivable as of its date of origination. “Loan-to-Value Ratio” with respect to a receivable means the original undiscounted principal balance divided by the estimated vehicle value, multiplied by 100. The estimated vehicle value for a new vehicle is the dealer invoice cost of the vehicle. The estimated vehicle value for a used vehicle is the value received by Ally Financial from the dealer, independently validated by Ally Financial, based on a market guide, such as Blackbook, indicating the value of the vehicle and the source from which that value was determined. “Weighted Average Loan-to-Value Ratio” is based on a weighting by original undiscounted principal balance of each receivable as of its date of origination. A FICO score is a measurement designed by Fair, Isaac & Company and calculated by the major credit bureaus using collected information to assess credit risk. “Weighted Average FICO Score” is based on a weighting by original undiscounted principal balance of each receivable as of the pool date and excludes receivables with respect to which the obligor is a business account and receivables for which no FICO score is available. Of the 5,920 FICO Scores excluded from the Weighted Average FICO Score, 4,099 or 69.24%, are business accounts and the remaining 1,821 or 30.76%, are accounts for which FICO Scores are unavailable. In the table “Distribution of the Final Receivables Pool by FICO Score,” those excluded accounts make up the “Business Accounts and Unavailable” category. Percentages may not equal 100.00% due to rounding.

Distribution of the Receivables Pool by State as of October 31, 2015

The pool of receivables includes receivables originated in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The following table sets forth the percentage of the Aggregate Amount Financed in the states with the largest concentration of receivables. No other state accounts for more than 4.55% of the Aggregate Amount Financed. Management believes that there are no factors unique


to any state or region in which 10% or more of the receivables are located that may materially impact the trust’s ability to pay principal and interest on the notes. The following breakdown by state is based on the billing addresses of the obligors on the receivables:

Depositor Review of the Receivables Pool

In addition to the pool review set forth in the prospectus supplement under “The Receivables Pool—Depositor Review of the Initial Receivables Pool,” the depositor performed a review of 20 additional receivables, of which 3 are included in the pool of receivables as of October 31, 2015. The depositor found no errors in connection with its review of the additional receivables.


Exceptions to Underwriting Guidelines

A number of receivables in the pool of receivables as of October 31, 2015 constitute exceptions to the underwriting criteria of Ally Financial, as described in “Acquisition and Underwriting—Underwriting Exceptions” in the prospectus. The depositor elected to include these receivables in the pool of receivables as of October 31, 2015. These receivables were included in the pool on the basis that the depositor has historically securitized receivables with these characteristics and these exceptions are immaterial.

The following table explains the nature of the exceptions. All but 169 of these receivables exceeded only a single underwriting criterion; 161 receivables have two “layered” exceptions, seven receivables have three “layered” exceptions and one receivable has four “layered” exceptions. As used in the table below, a “collateral characteristic” is an underwriting criterion primarily related to the financed vehicle, such as loan-to-value ratio or, for used vehicles, a limit on the maximum mileage or age of the vehicle, and a “credit characteristic” is an underwriting criterion primarily related to the creditworthiness of the obligor, such as the payment-to-income ratio or debt-to-income ratio. The aggregate amount financed of these exception receivables in the pool of receivables is $87,889,272.56 as of October 31, 2015.
