Dallas, TX - May 18, 2020 - PRESS RELEASE
Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc. (NYSE: SC) (“SC”, “we” or the “Company”) today announced that due to the public health concerns relating to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and to protect the health and safety of its shareholders, employees and other stakeholders, the Company’s 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) will be a virtual meeting, which will be held as a live audio webcast, instead of an in-person meeting as previously announced. The Annual Meeting will be held Wednesday, June 10, 2020 at 11:00 A.M. Central Time, as previously scheduled. The business items to be considered at the Annual Meeting also remain the same. Shareholders will not be able to attend the meeting in person.
As described in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting, the Company’s shareholders as of April 13, 2020, the record date, are entitled to participate in the Annual Meeting.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, it is important that your shares be represented at the Annual Meeting. We encourage you to vote and submit your proxy in advance of the meeting by one of the methods described in the proxy materials. You may continue to use the proxy card or voting instruction form you previously received to vote your shares in connection with the Annual Meeting. If you have already voted, you do not need to vote again.
Additional information regarding the agenda and the rules and procedures for participating in the Annual Meeting will be set forth in the Company’s Rules and Procedures for the Conduct of the Annual Meeting, which shareholders can view at the Annual Meeting website.
In the event of a technical malfunction or other situation that the meeting chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President or the Chief Legal Officer determines may affect the ability of the Annual Meeting to satisfy the requirements for a meeting of shareholders to be held by means of remote communication under the Delaware General Corporation Law, or that otherwise makes it advisable to adjourn the Annual Meeting, he will convene the meeting at 12:00 P.M. Central Time on the date specified above and at SC Headquarters, 1601 Elm Street, Suite 800, Dallas, Texas 75201 solely for the purpose of adjourning the meeting to reconvene at
