Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Background

On March 23, 2021, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo Bank”) and Wells Fargo Delaware Trust Company, N.A. (“WFDTC”, and collectively with Wells Fargo Bank, “Wells Fargo”) entered into a definitive agreement with Computershare Trust Company, National Association (“CTCNA”), Computershare Delaware Trust Company (“CDTC”, and collectively with CTCNA, “Computershare”) and Computershare Limited (“CPU Ltd”) to sell substantially all of their Corporate Trust Services (“CTS”) business. Effective as of November 1, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the sale closed, and virtually all CTS employees of Wells Fargo, along with most existing CTS systems, technology, and offices, transferred to Computershare. On the Closing Date, for some of the transactions in Wells Fargo’s CTS business, Wells Fargo transferred its roles and the duties, rights, and liabilities with such roles under the relevant transaction agreements to CTCNA or CDTC.

On March 23, 2021, Wells Fargo Bank, WFDTC, CTCNA, CDTC, and CPU Ltd entered into a Servicing Agreement, which was amended and restated as of October 31, 2021 (as amended, the “Servicing Agreement”). For those transactions in Wells Fargo’s CTS business where one or more of its roles did not transfer to CTCNA or CDTC on the Closing Date (the “Non-Transferred Role(s) Transactions”), CTCNA or CDTC is performing such roles and duties as set forth in the relevant transaction agreement on behalf of Wells Fargo as its agent pursuant to the Servicing Agreement.

On May 11, 2022, the transaction related to the GM Financial Automobile Leasing Trust 2022-2 (the “Issuer”) closed and it became a Non-Transferred Role(s) Transaction as CTCNA performed Wells Fargo Bank’s role of Collateral Agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) pursuant to (i) the 2022-2 Exchange Note Supplement, dated as of March 29, 2022 (as amended to date, the “Exchange Note Supplement”), among ACAR Leasing Ltd. (the “Titling Trust”), as borrower (in such capacity, the “Borrower”), AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc., d/b/a GM Financial (“GM Financial”), as lender (in such capacity, the “Lender”), as servicer, (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), CTCNA, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and the Collateral Agent to the Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of January 24, 2018 (the “Credit and Security Agreement”), among the Borrower, the Lender, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, (ii) the Indenture, dated as of March 29, 2022 (as amended to date, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Servicer and CTCNA, as Indenture Trustee (in such capacity, the “Indenture Trustee”), (iii) the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2022 (as amended to date, the “Trust Agreement”), among GMF Leasing LLC (the “Depositor”) and Wilmington Trust Company, as owner trustee and (iv) the Administration Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2022 (as amended to date, the “Administration Agreement” and collectively with the Exchange Note Supplement, the Indenture and the Trust Agreement, the “Transaction Documents,” and each, individually, a “Transaction Document”), among the Issuer, the Depositor, the Administrator, and the Indenture Trustee provided that pursuant to the Transaction Documents, the appointment of CTCNA as agent to Wells Fargo Bank did not relieve Wells Fargo Bank of responsibility for its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents.

Transfer of Collateral Agent Role for the Issuer

This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to disclose the amendment of certain definitive agreements of the Issuer.

On October 3, 2022, each of the Transaction Documents were amended by the amendment listed in Item 9.01(d) below by each of the parties to the Transaction Documents listed in Item 1.01 above. The amendments were completed in connection with the transfer of the role of Collateral Agent from Wells Fargo Bank to CTCNA and in accordance with the amendment provisions of each applicable Transaction Document.

 

Item 1.02

Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

Transfer of Collateral Agent Role for the Issuer

On or prior to October 3, 2022, (a) Wells Fargo Bank fully transferred, and CTCNA assumed, the duties, rights, and liabilities of the Collateral Agent under the Transaction Documents, and (b) CTCNA is therefore no longer performing the role of Collateral Agent as agent for Wells Fargo Bank pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. As of October 3, 2022, Wells Fargo Bank is no longer responsible for the duties, rights, and liabilities of the Collateral Agent under the Transaction Documents.

 

2

Therefore, as of October 3, 2022, with respect to the Issuer, the Servicing Agreement was terminated.

 

Item 6.02

Reg AB Item 1108 and Item 1109 Disclosure

As of October 3, 2022, CTCNA is acting in the role of Collateral Agent, pursuant to the Transaction Documents. CTCNA is a national banking association and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CPU Ltd, an Australian financial services company with approximately $6.093 billion (USD) in assets as of June 30, 2022. CPU Ltd and its affiliates have been engaging in financial service activities, including stock transfer related services, since 1997, and corporate trust related services since 2000. CTCNA provides corporate trust, custody, securities transfer, cash management, investment management and other financial and fiduciary services, and has been engaged in providing financial services, including corporate trust services, since 2000. The transaction parties may maintain commercial relationships with CTCNA and its affiliates. CTCNA maintains corporate trust offices at 9062 Old Annapolis Road, Columbia, Maryland 21045-1951 (among other locations), and its office for correspondence related to certificate transfer services is located at 600 South 4th Street, 7th Floor, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55415.

The Indenture Trustee maintains a corporate trust office for correspondence purposes at 600 South 4th Street, MAC: N9300-070, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55415, Attn: Asset-Backed Securities Department.

As a result of CTCNA not being a deposit-taking institution, any accounts that the Indenture Trustee is required to maintain pursuant to the Transaction Documents are currently maintained at Wells Fargo Bank. Any change in location of such accounts by CTCNA will be done so in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, including any applicable eligibility criteria set forth in the Transaction Documents.

As of October 3, 2022, CTCNA is acting as the Paying Agent pursuant to the Transaction Documents. The Paying Agent is responsible for securities administration, which includes making monthly distributions to noteholders.

As of June 30, 2022, CTCNA was acting in some cases as the securities administrator or paying agent, and in most cases as agent for the securities administrator or paying agent, for approximately 639 asset-backed securities transactions with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of approximately $123 billion (USD).
