SUBSTITUTE INFORMATION INCLUDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERAL INSTRUCTION J TO FORM 10-K:

ITEM 1112(b) OF REGULATION AB. (SIGNIFICANT OBLIGORS OF POOL ASSETS)

ITEM 1114(b)(2) OF REGULATION AB. (CREDIT ENHANCEMENT AND OTHER SUPPORT, EXCEPT FOR CERTAIN DERIVATIVES INSTRUMENTS (FINANCIAL INFORMATION))

ITEM 1115(b) OF REGULATION AB. (CERTAIN DERIVATIVE INFORMATION (FINANCIAL INFORMATION))

No entity provides any derivative instruments that are used to alter the payment characteristics of the cash flows from the Issuing Entity.

ITEM 1117 OF REGULATION AB. (LEGAL PROCEEDINGS)

As a consumer finance company, the sponsor is subject to various consumer claims and litigation seeking damages and statutory penalties, based upon, among other things, usury, disclosure inaccuracies, wrongful repossession, violations of bankruptcy stay provisions, certificate of title disputes, fraud, breach of contract and discriminatory treatment of credit applicants. Some litigation against the sponsor could take the form of class action complaints by consumers and certain legal actions include claims for substantial compensatory and/or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages.

In July 2014, in connection with an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice in contemplation of a civil proceeding for potential violations of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989, General Motors Financial Company, Inc. (“General Motors Financial”), immediate parent of the sponsor, was served with a subpoena by the U.S. Department of Justice directing it to produce certain documents relating to its and its subsidiaries’ and affiliates’ origination and securitization of subprime automobile loans since 2007. Among other matters, the subpoena requests information relating to the underwriting criteria used to originate these automobile loans and the representations and warranties relating to those underwriting criteria that were made in connection with the securitization of the automobile loans. General Motors Financial has subsequently been served with additional investigative subpoenas to produce documents from state attorneys general and other governmental offices relating to its consumer auto loan business and securitization of auto loans. General Motors Financial is investigating these matters internally and believes it is cooperating with all requests. Such investigations could in the future result in the imposition of damages, fines or civil or criminal claims and/or penalties.

No assurance can be given that the ultimate outcome of the investigations or any resulting proceedings would not materially and adversely affect General Motors Financial or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates, including the servicer, or the interests of the noteholders or the servicer’s ability to perform its duties under the transaction documents.

On June 18, 2014, a civil action was filed against Citibank in the Supreme Court of the State of New York by a group of investors in 48 private-label RMBS trusts for which Citibank allegedly serves or did serve as trustee, asserting claims for purported violations of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and negligence based on Citibank’s alleged failure to perform its duties as trustee for the 48 RMBS trusts. On November 24, 2014, plaintiffs sought leave to withdraw this action. On the same day, a smaller subset of similar plaintiff investors in 27 private-label RMBS trusts for which Citibank allegedly serves or did serve as trustee, filed a new civil action against Citibank in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York asserting similar claims as the prior action filed in state court. In January 2015, the court closed plaintiffs’ original state court action. Citibank’s motion to dismiss the federal complaint was fully briefed as of May 13, 2015. On September 8, 2015, the federal court dismissed all claims as to 24 of the 27 trusts and allowed certain of the claims to proceed as to the other three trusts. Subsequently, plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed all claims with respect to two of the three trusts. This case is still pending as to the remaining trust at issue.


On November 24, 2015, the same investors that brought the federal case brought a new civil action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York related to 25 private-label RMBS trusts for which Citibank allegedly serves or did serve as trustee. This case includes the 24 trusts previously dismissed in the federal action, and one additional trust. The investors assert claims for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of duty to avoid conflicts of interest, and violation of New York’s Streit Act (“the Streit Act”). Citibank’s motion to dismiss was fully briefed as of April 15th, 2016. Following oral argument on Citibank’s motion to dismiss, Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on August 5th, 2016. Citibank’s motion to dismiss the amended complaint was fully briefed as of October 21, 2016. We await a decision.

On August 19, 2015, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as Receiver for a financial institution filed a civil action against Citibank in the Southern District of New York. This action relates to one private-label RMBS trust for which Citibank formerly served as trustee. FDIC asserts claims for breach of contract, violation of the Streit Act, and violation of the Trust Indenture Act. Citibank jointly briefed a motion to dismiss with The Bank of New York Mellon and U.S. Bank, entities that have also been sued by FDIC in their capacity as trustee, and whose cases are also in front of Judge Carter. Defendants’ joint motion to dismiss was fully briefed as of March 22, 2016. On September 30, 2016, the Court granted Citibank’s motion to dismiss the complaint without prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. On October 14, 2016, FDIC filed a motion for reargument or relief from judgment from the Court’s dismissal order. On October 25, 2016 the court granted leave for defendants to file an opposition brief. Defendants filed their opposition on November 15, 2016 and Plaintiff filed its reply brief on November 22, 2016. We await a decision from the Court on plaintiff’s motion.

There can be no assurances as to the outcome of litigation or the possible impact of litigation on the trustee or the RMBS trusts. However, Citibank denies liability and continues to vigorously defend against these litigations. Furthermore, neither the above-disclosed litigations nor any other pending legal proceeding involving Citibank will materially affect Citibank’s ability to perform its duties as Trustee under the Indenture for this ABS transaction.

Exhibit 33.1

Management’s Assertion Regarding Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria

 

1. AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc.

The transactions covered by this report include publicly issued auto loan asset-backed securities transactions for which we acted as servicer involving auto loans (the “Platform”). The individual asset-backed transactions that we have defined as constituting the Platform are included in Appendix B.

 

2. AFSI has engaged vendors, which are not servicers as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, to perform specific, limited or scripted activities (the “Vendors”), and AFSI elects to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria or portion of the servicing criteria applicable to each such Vendor’s activities as set forth in Appendix A hereto. AFSI has policies and procedures in place to provide reasonable assurance that each such Vendor’s activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criteria or portion of the servicing criteria applicable to each such Vendor.

 

3. Except as set forth in paragraph 4 below, AFSI used the criteria set forth in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB to access compliance with the applicable servicing criteria.

 

4. The criteria listed in the column titled “Inapplicable Servicing Criteria” in Appendix A hereto are inapplicable to AFSI based on the activities it performs, directly or through its Vendors, with respect to the Platform

 

5. AFSI has complied, in all material respects, with the Applicable Servicing Criteria as of December 31, 2016 and for the Reporting Period with respect to the Platform taken as a whole.

 

6. AFSI has not identified and is not aware of any material instance of noncompliance by the Vendors with regard to the Applicable Servicing Criteria, as of December 31, 2016, and for the Reporting Period with respect to the Platform taken as a whole.

 

7. AFSI has not identified any material deficiencies in our policies and procedures to monitor the compliance by the Vendors with the Applicable Servicing Criteria, as of December 31, 2016, and for the Reporting Period with respect to the Platform taken as a whole.

 

8. Deloitte & Touche LLP, a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report with respect to our foregoing assessment of compliance as of and for the Reporting Period.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors of AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc.

AmeriCredit Financial Services Inc.

Fort Worth, Texas

We have examined management’s assertion, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Assessment of Compliance with SEC Regulation AB Servicing Criteria, that AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company”) complied with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation AB for publicly issued auto loan asset-backed securities transactions issued from September 20, 2011 to December 31, 2016 for which the Company acted as servicer involving auto loans (the “Platform”) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016, excluding criteria 1122(d)(1)(iv), 1122(d)(2)(iii), 1122(d)(2)(vi), 1122(d)(4)(ix), 1122(d)(4)(x), 1122(d)(4)(xi), 1122(d)(4)(xii) and 1122(d)(4)(xiii), which management has determined are not applicable to the activities performed by the Company with respect to the Platform. Appendix A to management’s assertion identifies the individual asset-backed transactions defined by management as constituting the Platform. Management is responsible for the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion about the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company’s compliance with the applicable servicing criteria, including tests on a sample basis of the servicing activities related to the Platform, determining whether the Company performed those selected activities in compliance with the servicing criteria during the specified period, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Our procedures were limited to selected servicing activities performed by the Company during the period covered by this report and, accordingly, such samples may not have included servicing activities related to each asset-backed transaction included in the Platform. Further, an examination is not designed to detect noncompliance arising from errors that may have occurred prior to the period specified above that may have affected the balances or amounts calculated or reported by the Company during the period covered by this report. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria.

As described in management’s assertion, for servicing criteria 1122(d)(2)(i) and 1122(d)(4)(ii), the Company has engaged vendors to perform certain activities required by this servicing criteria. The Company has determined that this vendor is not considered a “servicer” as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, and the Company has elected to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to this vendor as permitted by the SEC’s Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 200.06, Vendors Engaged by Servicers (“C&DI 200.06”) (formerly SEC Manual Telephone Interpretation 17.06). As permitted by C&DI 200.06, the Company has asserted that it has policies and procedures in place designed to provide reasonable assurance that the vendor’s activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criteria applicable to this vendor. The Company is solely responsible for determining that it meets the SEC requirements to apply C&DI 200.06 for the vendor and related criteria as described in its assertion, and we performed no procedures with respect to the Company’s determination of its eligibility to apply C&DI 200.06.

In our opinion, management’s assertion that the Company complied with the aforementioned applicable servicing criteria as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 for the Platform is fairly stated, in all material respects.

The Board of Directors

Citibank, N.A.:

We have examined management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Assessment of Compliance, that the Agency and Trust division of Citibank, N.A.

With respect to the Platform, servicing criterion 1122(d)(3)(ii) is applicable only as it relates to remittances. Management is responsible for the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment about the Company’s compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria specified above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Our examination included testing selected asset-backed transactions and securities that comprise the Platform, testing selected servicing activities related to the Platform, and determining whether the Company processed those selected transactions and performed those selected activities in compliance with the servicing criteria. Furthermore, our procedures were limited to the selected transactions and servicing activities performed by the Company during the period covered by this report. Our procedures were not designed to determine whether errors may have occurred either prior to or subsequent to our tests that may have affected the balances or amounts calculated or reported by the Company during the period covered by this report for the selected transactions or any other transactions. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria.

In our opinion, management’s assessment that the Company complied with the aforementioned servicing criteria as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 is fairly stated, in all material respects.
