Item 5. Other Events.
Reference is hereby made to the Registrant's Registration Statement on
Form S-3 (File No. 333-92245) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") on December 7, 1999, Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the
Commission on January 18, 2000, and Amendment No. 2 thereto filed with the
Commission on February 10, 2000 (as amended, the "Registration Statement"),
pursuant to which the Registrant registered $2,000,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of its auto loan backed notes and auto loan backed certficates, issuable
in various series, for sale in accordance with the provisions of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. Reference is also hereby made to the Prospectus and the
related Prospectus Supplement (collectively, the "Prospectus"), which will be
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5), with respect to the
Registrant's Auto Loan Backed Notes, Series 2000-C (the "Offered Notes").
The Registrant is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide
prospective investors with certain materials which constitute "ABS Term Sheets"
as described in the no-action letter dated February 27, 1995 issued by the
Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission to the Public Securities
Association, the filing of which materials is a condition of the relief granted
in such letters (such materials being the "ABS Term Sheets"). The ABS Term
Sheets are set forth in Exhibit 99.3 hereto.
The assumptions used in preparing the ABS Term Sheets were based upon a
preliminary compilation of the underlying collateral and the estimated principal
amount and other features of the Offered Notes. The actual features of the
Offered Notes and a detailed description of the final constituency of the
underlying collateral will be set forth in the Prospectus and in a Current
Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Commission.
Due to the preliminary nature of the information regarding the
collateral and the structure of the Offered Notes used in preparing the ABS Term
Sheets, no assurance can be given as to either the ABS Term Sheets' or the
underlying assumptions' accuracy, appropriateness or completeness in any
particular context; nor can assurance be given as to whether the ABS Term Sheets
and/or the assumptions upon which they are based reflect present market
conditions or future market performance. These ABS Term Sheets should not be
construed as either projections or predictions or as legal, tax, financial or
accounting advice.
The specific characteristics of the Offered Notes may differ from those
shown in the ABS Term Sheets due to differences between the actual collateral
and the preliminary collateral used in preparing the ABS Term Sheets. As noted
above, the principal amount and designation of any security described in the ABS
Term Sheets are subject to change prior to issuance.
Please be advised that auto loan backed securities may not be
appropriate for all investors. Potential investors must be willing to assume,
among other things, market price volatility, prepayments, yield curve and
interest rate risks. Investors should make every effort to consider the risks of
these securities.
