On December 19, 2024, Navient Corporation, a Delaware Corporation (the “Company”),
entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Gallant GAPS Holdings, LLC (“Gallant”), a subsidiary
of Gallant Capital Partners, LLC, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell its government services business (Navient Business Processing Group and its subsidiaries) to Gallant (the “Transaction”).
The Company’s government services business includes Navient Business Processing Group, Duncan Solutions, Gila, Municipal Services Bureau, Pioneer Credit Recovery and Navient BPO. Approximately 1,200 Company employees will be included in the
Transaction, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
We expect to recognize a loss related to this transaction between $25 and $35 million in our fourth quarter 2024 results. This estimated loss is based on several
significant estimates, including the consideration that will be recognized as part of the sale as well as the book value of the government services business that is being sold. The final financial statement impact of the sale has not yet been
determined and will depend on, among other things, net sale proceeds and the book value at the time of closing. As previously disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the book value of the
government services business was approximately $50 million. Due to a change in the deal structure, the book value being sold will now include approximately $20 million of deferred tax assets transferring to the buyer. This change in deal
structure leads to an increase in net cash proceeds to the Company.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 20, 2024, the Company previously completed the sale of its equity interests in its
healthcare services business for $369 million, resulting in a $219 million gain on sale. Together, these transactions represent the entirety of Navient’s Business Processing segment. Please refer to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended September 30, 2024 for more information.
On December 23, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the Transaction. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated
herein by reference.
