This Free Writing Prospectus (FWP) finalizes the pricing and terms for the preferred stock offering previously announced today in an 8-K filing. The $1 billion capital raise significantly strengthens Ally's capital structure, which is crucial for a financial institution. While preferred stock provides a stable funding source, the 7.100% fixed-rate reset dividend introduces a substantial ongoing cost of capital and is senior to common stock, which could impact common shareholder returns. Investors should monitor the company's use of these proceeds and future capital management strategies.
