As a result of the bankruptcy filing, ResCap was deconsolidated from our financial statements; and beginning in the second quarter of 2012, we are presenting our mortgage business activities under one reportable operating segment, Mortgage operations. Previously our Mortgage operations were presented as two reportable operating segments, Origination and Servicing operations and Legacy Portfolio and Other operations. The new presentation is consistent with the organizational alignment of the business and management's current view of the mortgage business.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:10px;text-indent:24px;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;">Under SEC regulations, the same reportable segment presentation is also required for previously issued financial statements for each of the years presented in our 2011 Form 10-K, even though the financial statements relate to periods prior to the reportable segment change. This change in reportable segment has no effect on our reported net income for any reporting period.</font></div><br><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><a name="s3E5C57F4F8EAB1C28A72DD4E6168AE62"></a><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;">Ally Financial Inc.&#160;&#8226;&#160;Form 8-K</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:2px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Item 9.01.

Item 8.01. Other Events
Ally Financial Inc. (Ally) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to update the historical consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Historical information was updated for a change in reportable segments. Exhibit 99.1 contains the revised and updated financial information.
Change in Reportable Segment Information
On May 14, 2012, Residential Capital, LLC (ResCap) and certain of its wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States. As a result of the bankruptcy filing, ResCap was deconsolidated from our financial statements; and beginning in the second quarter of 2012, we are presenting our mortgage business activities under one reportable operating segment, Mortgage operations. Previously our Mortgage operations were presented as two reportable operating segments, Origination and Servicing operations and Legacy Portfolio and Other operations. The new presentation is consistent with the organizational alignment of the business and management's current view of the mortgage business.
Under SEC regulations, the same reportable segment presentation is also required for previously issued financial statements for each of the years presented in our 2011 Form 10-K, even though the financial statements relate to periods prior to the reportable segment change. This change in reportable segment has no effect on our reported net income for any reporting period.
