The Purchase Price will be based on a yield to Nov. 2, 2026, the maturity date of the Notes, and assuming the Notes mature on such date, as described in the Offer to Purchase.<\/p>\n \nIn addition to the Purchase Price, holders whose Notes are purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer will also receive accrued and unpaid interest thereon from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the initial date on which the Company makes payment for such Notes, which date is currently expected to be May 15, 2026, assuming that the Tender Offer is not extended or earlier terminated.<\/p>\n \nThe Tender Offer is being made pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Offer to Purchase and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, copies of which may be obtained from D.F. King & Co., Inc., the tender agent and information agent for the Tender Offer, by calling (888) 626-0988 or, for banks and brokers, (212) 269-5550. Copies of the Offer to Purchase and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery are also available at the following web address: www.dfking.com\/slm; or by requesting via email at slm@dfking.com.<\/p>\n \nThe Tender Offer will expire at 5 p.m., New York City time, on May 12, 2026, unless extended or earlier terminated (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the \u201cExpiration Time<\/b>\u201d). Tendered Notes may be withdrawn at any time before the Expiration Time. Holders of Notes must validly tender and not validly withdraw their Notes (or comply with the procedures for guaranteed delivery) before the Expiration Time to be eligible to receive the consideration for their Notes.<\/p>\n \nSettlement for all Notes tendered prior to the Expiration Time or pursuant to a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery is expected to be May 15, 2026, assuming that the Tender Offer is not extended or earlier terminated.<\/p>\n \nThere can be no assurance that any Notes will be purchased. The Tender Offer is being made in connection with a contemporaneous offering of senior debt securities by the Company on terms and conditions (including, but not limited to, the amount of proceeds raised in such offering) satisfactory to the Company (the \u201cNew Notes Offering<\/b>\u201d). The Tender Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum amount of Notes being tendered. The Tender Offer may be amended, extended, terminated or withdrawn. Proceeds from the New Notes Offering will be used to repurchase Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, the completion of the New Notes Offering, and no assurance can be given that the New Notes Offering will be completed.<\/p>\n \nThe Company expects to repay any Notes not tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer at their maturity. Subject to the completion of the New Notes Offering and the consummation of the Tender Offer, the Company expects to deposit with Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee funds sufficient to repay at their maturity the Notes not tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer, and thereby satisfy and discharge the indenture governing the Notes, as it applies to the Notes, shortly after the Settlement Date. The Company has retained J.P. Morgan Securities LLC to serve as the exclusive Dealer Manager for the Tender Offer. Questions regarding the terms of the Tender Offer may be directed to J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Liability Management Desk, U.S. toll free at (866) 834-4666 or collect at (212) 834-7489.<\/p>\n \nThis press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any Notes in the Tender Offer and does not constitute a notice of redemption for the Notes.<\/p>\n Sallie Mae<\/b> (Nasdaq: SLM) believes education and life-long learning, in all forms, help people achieve great things.
