On the Closing Date, Santander Consumer or another wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of Santander Consumer retained a portion of the aggregate Percentage Interests of the Certificates (a) in order to satisfy the obligations of Santander Consumer under the requirements of the SEC’s credit risk retention rules 17 C.F.R. Part 246 (“Regulation RR”), and (b) in order to enable compliance by affected institutional investors with certain provisions of Articles 5 and 6 of Regulation (EU) 2017/2402 of December 12, 2017, together with any guidance published and regulatory technical and implementing standards adopted in relation thereto (collectively, the “EU Retention Rules”), each as in effect and applicable on the Closing Date. The portion of the Certificates being retained to satisfy the requirements of Regulation RR and the EU Retention Rules is referred to herein as the “Retained Interest.” As of the last day of the period covered by this report the depositor or another wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of Santander Consumer continues to retain the Retained Interest in accordance with Regulation RR and Santander Consumer continues to hold indirectly the Retained Interest for purposes of the EU Retention Rules.

However, Santander Consumer has not transferred or hedged the Retained Interest except as permitted under Regulation RR and those EU Retention Rules.

Santander Consumer has not changed the manner in which it retains the Retained Interest, except in accordance with Regulation RR and those EU Retention Rules.

There was no material change in Santander Consumer’s, or an affiliate of Santander Consumer’s, interest in any securities issued by the issuer resulting from the purchase, sale or other acquisition or disposition of securities between the Closing Date and the last day of the period covered by this report.
