Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Represents dividend equivalent units accrued on November 15, 2024 as dividends that were paid on the common shares underlying restricted stock units and deferred stock units previously granted to the Reporting Person under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plans and Non-Employee Director Deferred Compensation Plan (the "NED Deferred Compensation Plan"). The dividend equivalent units vest proportionately with and are subject to settlement and expiration upon the same terms as the restricted stock units or deferred stock units to which they relate. Under the NED Deferred Compensation Plan, deferred stock units settle in shares of common stock according to the Reporting Person's election, in a single lump sum, in five installments or in ten installments, commencing in the July of the year following the year in which the Reporting Person terminates service with the Company. Each dividend equivalent unit is the economic equivalent of one share of Synchrony Financial common stock.
(2)	Includes approximately 2,262 dividend equivalent units accrued from regular quarterly dividends that were paid from May 4, 2018 through August 15, 2024 on the common shares underlying deferred stock units previously granted to the Reporting Person under the NED Deferred Compensation Plan. These dividend equivalent units were inadvertently not reported previously due to an administrative error and not any error of the Reporting Person.
(3)	Mr. Guthrie is the Investment Manager of Guthrie 2012 Investments LP, which owns 10,000 shares of common stock. Mr. Guthrie disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock held by Guthrie 2012 Investments LP, except to the extent of his direct pecuniary interest therein.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure. Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB number.
