This Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) amends the Schedule 13D originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Banco Santander, S.A., a Spanish bank organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain (“Santander”), and Santander Holdings USA, Inc., a Virginia corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Santander (“SHUSA,” and together with Santander, the “Reporting Persons”), on November 17, 2017 as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC by Santander and SHUSA on January 3, 2019, Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC by Santander and SHUSA on May 24, 2019 and Amendment No. 3 filed with the SEC by Santander and SHUSA on June 28, 2019 (collectively, the “Initial Statement”).

The Reporting Persons have not engaged in any transactions in the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc.
