** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(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) 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, subject to certain adjustments. 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.
(3) On November 15, 2017, SC, DDFS, Mr. Dundon, SHUSA, Santander Consumer and Santander entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release (the "Settlement Agreement"), and thereafter Santander completed the purchase of the 34,598,506 shares of Common Stock in the Call Transaction and contributed those to SHUSA.
(4) Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Dundon's stock options that were outstanding as of July 2, 2015, remained exercisable until the third anniversary of his resignation and, prior to September 30, 2015, Mr. Dundon was permitted to exercise such option in whole, but not in part, and settle such options for a cash payment equal to the difference between the closing trading price of a share of SC Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange as of the date immediately preceding such exercise and the exercise price of such option. Mr. Dundon exercised this cash settlement option as of July 2, 2015, subject to the receipt of all required regulatory approvals (the "Exercise Notice").
(5) On July 2, 2015, Mr. Dundon had three separate sets of stock options: (a) the option to acquire 4,628,169 shares for $9.21 per share; (b) the option to acquire 1,459,438 shares for $12.10 per share, and (c) the option to acquire 759,773 shares for $24.00 per share. The closing trading price for a share of SC's stock on July 1, 2015, the day immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice, was $26.48, such that all three sets of options were "in-the-money" on July 2, 2015.
(6) Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, a payment of $52,799,417 was made in respect of the Exercise Notice.
(7) The shares were withheld in connection with the consummation of the Separation Agreement and the Settlement Agreement on November 15, 2017.
(8) Under the Separation Agreement, all options became fully vested and remained exercisable through July 2, 2018.
(9) Under the Separation Agreement and the Settlement Agreement, the call price was $26.17, as adjusted in accordance with Section 5(f) of the Separation Agreement, resulting in the Call Transaction being consummated for a total of $941,945,420.
