Risk Change Over Time
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1The market price of our common stock could be adversely impacted by anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents and Delaware law that could delay or prevent a takeover attempt or change in control CIC of Ally or by other banking, antitrust, or corporate laws that have or are perceived as having an anti-takeover effect.
Our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws, and Delaware law contain provisions that could have the effect of discouraging, hindering, or preventing an acquisition that the Board does not find to be in the best interests of us and our shareholders. For example, our organizational documents include provisions that limit the liability of our directors, provide indemnification to our directors and officers, and limit the ability of our shareholders to call and bring business before special meetings of shareholders by requiring any requesting shareholders to hold at least 25% of our common stock in the aggregate. These provisions, alone or together, could delay hostile takeovers and CIC of Ally or changes in management. In addition, we are subject to Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which generally prohibits a corporation from engaging in various business combination transactions with any interested shareholder (generally defined as a shareholder who owns 15% or more of a corporation's voting stock) for a period of three years following the time that the shareholder became an interested shareholder, except under specified circumstances such as the receipt of prior board approval. Banking and antitrust laws, including associated regulatory-approval requirements, also impose significant restrictions on the acquisition of direct or indirect control over any BHC, like Ally, or any IDI, like Ally Bank. Any provision of our organizational documents or applicable law that deters, hinders, or prevents a non-negotiated takeover or CIC of Ally could limit the opportunity for our shareholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our common stock.

- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Our failure to meet stakeholder expectations on sustainability-related issues could result in reputational harm, a loss of customer and investor confidence, and adverse business and financial results.
A wide range of stakeholders, including governments, investors, customers, and the general public are increasingly focused on sustainability-related topics. Stakeholder views and expectations on sustainability-related issues are diverse, dynamic, and rapidly changing. We may not be able to meet the full range of expectations and demands for all of our stakeholders, including as a result of factors outside of our control. Due to divergent stakeholder views on these matters, we are at increased risk that any action, or lack thereof, concerning these matters will be perceived negatively by some stakeholders. See the risk factors above, titled Our business and financial results could be adversely affected by the political environment and governmental fiscal and monetary policies and Our business and financial results may be negatively affected by governmental actions related to climate and other sustainability issues. For example, our sustainability practices, oversight, and disclosures may be perceived to be inadequate or inappropriate by governmental officials, supervisory authorities, investors, customers, or other constituencies with the ability to affect our business and financial results, including because of the practices of and information received from third parties with whom we do business. Any failure to meet our stakeholders' full range of expectations and demands could result in reputational damage, a loss of customer and investor confidence, increased legal and operational risks, and other adverse effects on our results of operations and prospects.
