(a)
In addition to the minimum risk-based capital requirements for common equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital, and total capital ratios, Ally and Ally Bank were required to maintain a minimum capital conservation buffer of 1.25% and 0.625% at December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively, which ultimately increases to 2.5% on January 1, 2019.
(b)
Currently, there is no ratio component for determining whether a BHC is “well-capitalized.”
(c)
Federal regulatory reporting guidelines require the calculation of adjusted quarterly average assets using a daily average methodology.
(d)
On August 22, 2017, banking agencies lifted the capital, liquidity, and business plan commitments that Ally Bank had made in connection with its application for membership in the Federal Reserve System, including the commitment to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 15%. Ally Bank now manages its capital and liquidity subject to applicable regulatory requirements.
