On October 1, 2010, the Company was acquired by General Motors Holdings LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of General Motors Company. The merger was accounted for under purchase accounting whereby the purchase price of the transaction was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon fair market values. As a result of the purchase price allocation, the carrying value of GM Financial’s net finance receivables, deferred tax assets, credit facilities, securitization notes payable and uncertain tax positions increased. Additionally, goodwill of approximately $1.1 billion was established on October 1, 2010. The consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, and the year ended December 31, 2011, reflect the change in basis from the application of purchase accounting.
