Item 1.01 and 8.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement and Other Events

Ally Auto Assets LLC (“Ally Auto”) has registered an issuance of $22,523,500,297.91 in principal amount of asset backed notes on Form SF-3 (Registration File No. 333-204844) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), filed on June 9, 2015, as amended by Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 on August 14, 2015, by Pre-Effective Amendment No. 2 on September 24, 2015, by Pre-Effective Amendment No. 3 on October 22, 2015, by Pre-Effective Amendment No. 4 on October 30, 2015 and by Pre-Effective Amendment No. 5 on November 6, 2015 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”).

On January 24, 2017, Ally Auto and Ally Bank (the “Sponsor”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Agricole Securities (USA) and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), for the issuance and sale of an amount of certain asset backed notes of Ally Auto Receivables Trust 2017-1 (the “Issuing Entity”) in the following classes: (i) the Class A-1 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-1 Notes”), (ii) the Class A-2 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-2 Notes”), (iii) the Class A-3 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-3 Notes”), (iv) the Class A-4 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-4 Notes” and together with the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes and the Class A-3 Notes, the “Class A Notes”), (v) the Class B Asset Backed Notes (the “Class B Notes”), (vi) the Class C Asset Backed Notes (the “Class C Notes”) and (vii) the Class D Asset Backed Notes (the “Class D Notes” and together with the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes, the “Offered Notes”). The retained Class A-1 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-1 RR Notes”), the retained Class A-2 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-2 RR Notes”), the retained Class A-3 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-3 RR Notes”), the retained Class A-4 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-4 RR Notes” and together with the Class A-1 RR Notes, the Class A-2 RR Notes and the Class A-3 RR Notes, the “Class A RR Notes”), the retained Class B Asset Backed Notes (the “Class B RR Notes”), the retained Class C Asset Backed Notes (the “Class C RR Notes”) and the retained Class D Asset Backed Notes (the “Class D RR Notes” and collectively with the Class A RR Notes, the Class B RR Notes and the Class C RR Notes, the Retained Notes,” and the Retained Notes together with the Offered Notes, the “Notes”) will also be issued by the Issuing Entity. The Offered Notes have an aggregate principal balance of $1,055,980,000. Only the Offered Notes have been registered pursuant to the Act under the Registration Statement. The Retained Notes will be initially retained or held by the Depositor or a majority-owned affiliate of the Sponsor. The Certificates of the Issuing Entity will be initially retained or held by the Depositor or a majority-owned affiliate of the Sponsor or up to 95% of the Certificates will be sold in one or more separate transactions intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Act. It is expected that the Notes will be issued on or about January 31, 2017 (the “Closing Date”).

This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to satisfy an undertaking to file copies of certain agreements executed in connection with the issuance of the Notes, the forms of which were filed as Exhibits to the Registration Statement.

The Notes will be issued pursuant to an Indenture attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, to be dated as of the Closing Date between the Issuing Entity and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Indenture Trustee.


The Notes evidence indebtedness of the Issuing Entity, the assets of which will consist primarily of motor vehicle retail instalment sale contracts (the “Receivables”) secured by new and used automobiles and light duty trucks financed thereby.

On the Closing Date, the Receivables will have the characteristics described in the Prospectus, dated as of January 24, 2017, filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) of the Act on January 25, 2017.
