Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (DBTCA), as the indenture trustee, has
provided the following information: DBTCA has been named as a defendant in civil litigation concerning its role as trustee of certain residential mortgage backed securities (RMBS) trusts. On June 18, 2014, a group of
investors (Plaintiff Investors) filed a civil action against DBTCA and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (DBNTC) in New York State Supreme Court purportedly on behalf of and for the benefit of 544 private-label
RMBS trusts asserting claims for alleged violations of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and negligence based on DBTCAs and DBNTCs alleged failure to perform their obligations as trustees for
the trusts (the NY Derivative Action). An amended complaint was filed on July 16, 2014, adding Plaintiff Investors and RMBS trusts to the NY Derivative Action. On November 24, 2014, the Plaintiff Investors moved to voluntarily
dismiss the NY Derivative Action without prejudice. Also on November 24, 2014, substantially the same group of Plaintiff Investors filed a civil action against DBTCA and DBNTC in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York (the SDNY Action), making substantially the same allegations as the New York Derivative Action with respect to 564 RMBS trusts (542 of which were at issue in the NY Derivative Action). The SDNY Action is styled both as a
derivative action on behalf of the named RMBS Trusts and, in the alternative, as a putative class action on behalf of holders of RMBS representing interests in those RMBS trusts. DBTCA is reviewing these newly-filed pleadings. DBTCA has no
pending legal proceedings (including, based on DBTCAs preliminary evaluation, the litigation disclosed in this paragraph) that would materially affect its ability to perform its duties as Trustee on behalf of the Certificate-holders.

Item 9B. Other Information.

Santander Consumer USA Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (SC Holdings). SC Holdings
filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (the 2015 Form 10-K) after the extended filing deadline. SC Holdings identified certain material weaknesses in internal control over financial
reporting in Item 9A of the 2015 Form 10-K. Certain of these material weaknesses involve the failure of controls to operate effectively, resulting in misstatements in SC Holdings filed financial statements as of for the years ended
December 31, 2014 and 2013, and interim periods in 2015 and 2014. The errors and resulting corrections to annual financial statements are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the 2015 Form
10-K, with corrections to interim periods shown in Item 9B of the 2015 Form 10-K. Additional information about SC Holdings, including information contained in required annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current
reports on Form 8-K, is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the name Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc. and file number 001-36270.
