Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
A copy of a press release announcing an increase to the share-repurchase authorization and dividend declaration described under Item 8.01 below is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
The information included within Exhibit 99.1 is being furnished and is not deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On July 12, 2021, the Ally Financial Inc. (Ally) board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2.0 billion of Ally's common stock for 2021. This share repurchase program replaces the $1.6 billion authorization previously announced on January 12, 2021.
The repurchase program enables Ally to acquire shares through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, including through a Rule 10b5-1 plan, at the discretion of management and on terms (including quantity, timing, and price) that management determines to be advisable. Actions in connection with the repurchase program will be subject to various factors, including Ally's capital and liquidity positions, accounting and regulatory considerations (including any restrictions that may be imposed by the Federal Reserve), Ally's financial and operational performance, alternative uses of capital, the trading price of Ally's common stock, and general market conditions. The repurchase program does not obligate Ally to acquire a specific dollar amount or number of shares and may be extended, modified, or discontinued at any time.
Additionally, the Ally board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share of the company's common stock, payable on August 16, 2021 to stockholders of record on August 2, 2021.
