Santander Consumer USA Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc. (“SC Holdings”). On May 5, 2017, SC Holdings filed its Quarterly Report on form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2017 and disclosed that in August and September 2014, civil subpoenas and/or CIDs from the Attorney General of Massachusetts (the Massachusetts AG) and Delaware Department of Justice (the Delaware DOJ) were received under the authority of each state’s consumer protection statutes requesting information and the production of documents related to Santander Consumer’s underwriting and securitizations of nonprime auto loans. On March 29, 2017, Santander Consumer entered into an Assurance of Discontinuance (AOD) with the Massachusetts AG and a Cease and Desist by Agreement (C&D) with the Delaware DOJ to settle allegations that it facilitated the origination of certain Massachusetts and Delaware loans that it knew - or should have known - were in violation of applicable state consumer protection laws. In the AOD, filed in the Superior Court of Suffolk County, State of Massachusetts, captioned In the Matter of Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc., C.A. # 17-946E, Santander Consumer agreed to pay $16,300,000 to an independent trust for the benefit of eligible customers and $5,800,000 to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In the C&D, filed before the Consumer Protection Director of the Delaware Department of Justice, captioned In the Matter of Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc., C.P.U. # 17-17-17001637, Santander Consumer agreed to pay $2,875,000 to an independent trust for the benefit of eligible customers and $1,025,000 to the State of Delaware. Santander Consumer also agreed to make certain changes to its business practices. Among other things, Santander Consumer agreed to enhance certain aspects of its dealer oversight and monitoring processes.
