<u>Use of Proceeds — Class A(2026-1) Notes</u>. The public offering of the SynchronySeries Class A(2026-1) Notes was made under the registration statement on Form SF-3 (File Nos. 333-280854, 333-280854-01) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 17, 2024 (as declared effective on September 12, 2024) (the "<u>Registration Statement</u>").

The public offering of the SynchronySeries Class A(2026-1) Notes was terminated on March 20, 2026 upon the sale of all of the SynchronySeries Class A(2026-1) Notes. The underwriters of the SynchronySeries Class A(2026-1) Notes were Barclays Capital Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, TD Securities (USA) LLC, Blaylock Van, LLC, Mischler Financial Group, Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Siebert Williams Shank & Co., LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC.

During the period from the effective date of the Registration Statement through the current reporting period, the amount of expenses incurred in connection with the issuance and distribution of the SynchronySeries Class A(2026-1) Notes with respect to underwriting commissions and discounts was $1,250,000. After deducting the underwriting commission and discount described in the preceding sentence, the net offering proceeds of the Trust before expenses for the SynchronySeries Class A(2026-1) Notes are $498,730,750.

The net proceeds to Funding, after deducting the underwriting commissions and discounts, and expenses above, were used to purchase credit card receivables from the Bank, an affiliate of Funding, and to repay intercompany indebtedness owed by Funding to the Bank, which indebtedness was incurred primarily to finance prior purchases of credit card receivables from the Bank. Except as provided in the previous sentence, none of the proceeds were used for payments to (a) directors or officers of the Trust or (b) owners of 10 percent or more of any class of securities of the Trust.

Except for the applicable states listed below, no state accounted for more than 5% of the number of accounts or 5% of the total receivables balances, as applicable, as of January 31, 2026 for each of the program partners included in the trust portfolio. Since the largest number of cardholders (based on billing addresses) whose accounts are designated for the trust portfolio were in the five states listed below, adverse economic conditions affecting cardholders residing in those areas could affect timely payment by the related cardholders of amounts due on the accounts and, accordingly, the rate of delinquencies and losses for the trust portfolio.

**Composition by VantageScore Credit Score**

In determining whether to grant credit to a potential account holder, the bank scores each application based on the applicant's credit bureau report using industry (such as a VantageScore credit score or other credit scores), proprietary credit and fraud models and bankruptcy scorecards. VantageScore credit scores or equivalent are obtained at origination of the account and are refreshed, at a minimum quarterly, to assist in predicting customer behavior. The bank may use alternative data sources to assess applicants for whom a credit score is not available.

A VantageScore credit score is a measurement derived from a proprietary credit scoring method owned by VantageScore Solutions, LLC to determine the likelihood that credit users will pay their credit obligations in accordance with the terms of their accounts. Although VantageScore Solutions, LLC discloses only limited information about the variables it uses to assess credit risk, those variables likely include, but are not limited to, debt level, credit history, payment patterns (including delinquency experience) and level of utilization of available credit. VantageScore credit scores range from 300 to 850, and a borrower with a higher score is statistically expected to be less likely to default in payment than a borrower with a lower score. VantageScore credit scores for any one individual may be determined by up to three independent credit bureaus and may vary by credit bureau.

VantageScore credit scores are based on independent, third-party information, the accuracy of which we cannot verify. VantageScore credit scores were not developed specifically for use in connection with credit card accounts, but for consumer credit products in general.

VantageScore credit scores of an individual may change over time, depending on the conduct of the individual, including the individual's usage of his or her available credit, and changes in credit score technology used by VantageScore Solutions, LLC. Because the composition of the accounts designated for the trust may change over time, this table is not necessarily indicative of credit scores at origination of the accounts or the composition of the accounts in the trust at any specific time thereafter.

The following table reflects receivables as of January 31, 2026, and the composition of accounts by VantageScore credit score as most recently refreshed:

\*Balances related to accounts without a VantageScore are estimated to be less than 1% of the total receivables outstanding.

**Payment Rates**

The payment rate on the receivables is the most important factor that will determine the size of principal payments after an early amortization event has occurred and whether the trust has funds available to repay the notes on the scheduled principal payment date. The following Cardholder Monthly Payment Rates table sets forth the highest and lowest cardholder monthly payment rates on the credit card accounts in the trust portfolio in the included calendar years or in the portion thereof, as applicable, in each case calculated as a percentage of the Receivables Outstanding as of the first day of each calendar month during the included calendar years or portion thereof, as applicable. Payment rates shown in the tables are based on amounts that would be deemed payments of receivables with respect to the accounts. For purposes of these calculations, Receivables Outstanding are receivables included in the trust portfolio, in the period indicated.

The Payment Status table in this section shows the average for all billing cycles in the period indicated of the payments made on the receivables that fall within each of the following categories: (1) less than minimum payment, (2) minimum payment, (3) greater than minimum payment, but less than full payment and (4) full payment or greater than full payment. For any billing cycle, the percentage of payments in each category is calculated by dividing the number of accounts with payments in that category by the total amount of all accounts that were required to make payments on the receivables.

Although we have provided historical data concerning the payment rates on the receivables and the percentage of the receivables falling in each payment category, because of the factors described in "*Risk Factors*" in the prospectus, dated March 13, 2026, related to the Synchrony Card Issuance Trust SynchronySeries Class A(2026-1) Notes, we cannot provide you with any assurance that the levels and timing of payments on receivables in the trust portfolio from time to time in the future will be similar to the historical experience described in the following tables for the trust portfolio or that deposits into the principal funding account will equal the applicable controlled amortization amount.

\*The percentages set forth for Twelve Billing Cycles Ended in December, 2025 do not reflect the designation to the trust of approximately 893,603 accounts with approximately $1,013,743,095.78 in principal receivables that occurred on December 22, 2025.

We cannot assure you that the cardholder monthly payment rates or the payment experience for the trust portfolio in the future will be similar to the historical experience set forth in the tables above. In addition, the amount of collections of receivables may vary from month to month due to seasonal variations, general economic conditions, payment habits of individual cardholders and changes in minimum payment formulas.
