Item 1117 of Regulation AB: Legal Proceedings.

Litigation Regarding Chase Bank USA, National Association

A number of lawsuits seeking class action certification have been filed in both state and federal courts against Chase Bank USA, National Association (“Chase USA”). These lawsuits challenge certain policies and practices of Chase USA’s credit card business. A few of these lawsuits have been conditionally certified as class actions. Chase USA has defended itself against claims in the past and intends to continue to do so in the future. While it is impossible to predict the outcome of any of these lawsuits, Chase USA believes that any liability that might result from any of these lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the credit card receivables.

In July 2015, Chase USA and Chase BankCard Services, Inc. entered into a consent order with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) regarding practices involving credit card collections litigation, including with respect to sworn documents, and the sale of consumer credit card debt. Chase USA and Chase BankCard Services, Inc. have implemented the requirements of the CFPB consent order. Chase USA does not expect that the CFPB consent order has adversely affected the payment of principal or interest by the issuing entity on the offered notes.

Industry Litigation

On June 22, 2005, merchants filed a putative class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The complaint alleged that VISA, MasterCard and certain member banks including Bank of America, Chase USA, Capital One, Citibank and others, conspired to set the price of interchange in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act. The complaint further alleged tying/bundling and exclusive dealing. Since the filing of the Connecticut complaint, other complaints were filed in different U.S. District Courts challenging the setting of interchange, as well as the associations’ respective rules. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation consolidated the cases in the Eastern District of New York for pretrial proceedings. An amended consolidated complaint was filed on April 24, 2006 which added claims relating tooff-line debit transactions. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss all claims thatpre-date January 1, 2004. The District Court for the Eastern District of New York granted that motion and those claims were dismissed.

Plaintiffs filed a first supplemental complaint in May 2006 alleging that the MasterCard offering violated Section 7 of the Clayton Act and Section 1 of the Sherman Act and that the offering was a fraudulent conveyance.

In January 2009, the plaintiffs filed and served a Second Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint against all defendants and an amended supplemental complaint challenging the MasterCard initial public offering (“IPO”) making antitrust claims similar to those that were dismissed previously. With respect to the Visa IPO, the plaintiffs filed a supplemental complaint challenging the Visa IPO on antitrust theories parallel to those articulated in the MasterCard IPO pleading.

On March 31, 2009, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Second Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint. Separate motions to dismiss each of the supplemental complaints challenging the MasterCard and Visa IPOs were also filed. Plaintiffs and defendants also fully briefed and argued their motions for summary judgment. None of these motions have been decided.

In October 2012, Visa, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries Visa U.S.A. Inc. and Visa International Service Association, MasterCard Incorporated, MasterCard International Incorporated and various United States financial institution defendants, including Chase USA and several of its affiliates and certain predecessor institutions, entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) to resolve the United States merchant and retail industry association plaintiffs’ (the “Class Plaintiffs”) claims in the multi-district litigation. On November 27, 2012, the District Court for the Eastern District of New York entered an order preliminarily approving the Settlement Agreement, which provided, among other things, for a $6.05 billion cash payment to the Class Plaintiffs and an amount equal to ten basis points of interchange for a period of eight months to be measured from a date within sixty days of the end of theopt-out period. The Settlement Agreement also provided for modifications to each of the network’sno-surcharge rules, which were effective as of January 27, 2013.

On April 11, 2013, Class Plaintiffs moved for final approval of the settlement. On September 12, 2013, the District Court for the Eastern District of New York held the final approval hearing. On January 14, 2014, the District Court for the Eastern District of New York rendered its final order and judgment approving the settlement. A number of entities including retailers and objecting trade associations appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which, in June 2016, vacated the District Court for the Eastern District of New York’s certification of the class action and reversed the approval of the class settlement. In March 2017, the U.S. Supreme Court declined petitions seeking review of the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The case has been remanded to the District Court for the Eastern District of New York for further proceedings consistent with the appellate decision. The District Court for the Eastern District of New York has since appointed separate counsel for Class Plaintiffs and divided the class action into two separate actions, with one seeking

damages and one seeking injunctive relief. Class Plaintiffs, as well as other merchants, recently filed motions seeking to amend their complaints, which motions the defendants opposed. In September 2018, the parties to the class action seeking monetary relief finalized an agreement which amends and supersedes the prior settlement agreement. On January 24, 2019, the District Court for the Eastern District of New York granted preliminary approval of the amended settlement agreement. This settlement provides for the defendants to contribute an additional $900 million to the approximately $5.3 billion currently held in escrow from the original settlement. The class action seeking primarily injunctive relief continues separately.

Litigation Regarding Wells Fargo Bank, National Association

Since June 18, 2014, a group of institutional investors have filed civil complaints in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, and later the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo Bank”) in its capacity as trustee for certain residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts.

The complaints against Wells Fargo Bank alleged that the trustee caused losses to investors and asserted causes of action based upon, among other things, the trustee’s alleged failure to: (i) notify and enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers for purported breaches of representations and warranties, (ii) notify investors of alleged events of default, and (iii) abide by appropriate standards of care following alleged events of default. Relief sought included money damages in an unspecified amount, reimbursement of expenses, and equitable relief. Wells Fargo Bank has reached an agreement, in which it denies any wrongdoing, to resolve these claims on a classwide basis for the 271 RMBS trusts currently at issue. The settlement agreement is subject to court approval. Separate lawsuits against Wells Fargo Bank making similar allegations filed by certain other institutional investors concerning 57 RMBS trusts in New York federal and state court are not covered by the agreement.

With respect to the foregoing litigations, Wells Fargo Bank believes plaintiffs’ claims are without merit and intends to contest the claims vigorously, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome of the litigations or the possible impact of the litigations on Wells Fargo Bank or the RMBS trusts.
