On June 28, 2018, Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc. (“SC” or the “Company”) and its parent company, Santander Holdings USA, Inc. (“SHUSA”) announced that the Federal Reserve Board did not object to SHUSA’s capital plan under the recently finalized results of the 2018 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review. The SC portion of the capital plan included a $0.20 per share distribution for the third and fourth quarters of 2018 and the first and second quarters of 2019 as well as an authorization to repurchase $200 million of outstanding common stock between July 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019.    While the Federal Reserve did not object to SHUSA’s capital plan, any SC capital distribution is subject to SHUSA maintaining a strong capital position, and approval by the Boards of Directors of SHUSA and SC.

A copy of the press release relating to this announcement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The information in Exhibit 99.1 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that section.
