On August 7, 2018, the Company and Ally Bank entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Barclays Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), for the issuance and sale of $400,000,000 Class A Fixed Rate Asset Backed Notes, Series 2018-4 (the “Class A Notes”) of Ally Master Owner Trust (the “Issuing Entity”).

It is expected that the Notes will be issued on or about August 15, 2018 (the “Closing Date”).

This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to satisfy an undertaking to file copies of certain agreements executed in connection with the issuance of the Class A Notes, the forms of which were filed as Exhibits to the Registration Statement.

The Notes evidence indebtedness of the Issuing Entity, the assets of which consist primarily of a revolving pool of receivables arising under floorplan financing agreements between Ally Bank and a group of retail automotive dealers (such revolving pool the “Pool of Accounts”).

As of July 17, 2018, the Pool of Accounts had the characteristics described in the Prospectus dated as of August 7, 2018, to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) of the Act.
