SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE
2019 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
May 8, 2019
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
On May 2, 2019, Navient Corporation (Navient or the Company) and Canyon Capital Advisors LLC and certain of its affiliates (together, Canyon), entered into a cooperation agreement (the Agreement) regarding Canyons nomination of four (4) candidates for election to the Companys Board of Directors (the Board of Directors or the Board) at the Companys 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the Annual Meeting). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company agreed to appoint Marjorie Bowen and Larry Klane to the Board and to nominate each of Ms. Bowen and Mr. Klane for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. William M. Diefenderfer, III has notified the Board that he has chosen not to stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting. Canyon has withdrawn its slate of director nominees and has agreed to vote in favor of the Boards slate of eleven (11) director nominees named herein.
The Board recommends that you vote FOR the election of each of the Boards eleven (11) nominees on the enclosed revised WHITE proxy card, or if you own your shares in street name through a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee on the revised voting instruction form you receive from the holder of record. The revised WHITE proxy card or revised voting instruction form contains a total of eleven (11) director nominees and differs from the previous WHITE proxy card furnished by the Company in that it does not include Mr. Diefenderfer and includes Ms. Bowen and Mr. Klane as director nominees listed in Proposal 1. The election of Ms. Bowen will appear on your revised voting instruction form as Proposal 5 and the election of Mr. Klane will appear on your revised voting instruction form as Proposal 6.
Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, you are urged to sign, date and promptly return the revised WHITE proxy card or revised voting instruction form, or vote via the Internet or by telephone following the instructions on the revised WHITE proxy card or the revised voting instruction form. You may also vote in person at the Annual Meeting. If you have already submitted the previous WHITE proxy card or previous voting instruction form and you do not wish to change your vote, you do not have to take any further action; however, votes for Mr. Diefenderfer on any previously submitted WHITE proxy card or voting instruction form will be disregarded, since Mr. Diefenderfer is not standing for re-election, and voting on the previous WHITE proxy card or previous voting instruction form will not count as a vote for Ms. Bowen or Mr. Klane. For specific instructions on voting, please refer to the instructions on the enclosed revised WHITE proxy card or a revised voting instruction form.
If you have any questions, please contact MacKenzie Partners, Inc. (MacKenzie), our proxy solicitor assisting us in connection with the Annual Meeting. Shareholders may call toll-free at 800-322-2885 or collect at 212-929-5500. Shareholders may also contact MacKenzie via email at navient@mackenziepartners.com.
Sincerely,
John (Jack) F. Remondi

Supplement to the Proxy Statement for the 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
This Supplement supplements the Proxy Statement, furnished to holders of the Companys common stock in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors for use at the Annual Meeting, to be held on June 6, 2019, and any adjournment or postponement thereof. The Annual Meeting will be held at our headquarters at 123 Justison Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801, at 8:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time. The record date for determining shareholders who are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is April 8, 2019, which is the same record date specified in the Proxy Statement. The Notice of 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Navient Corporation, the Proxy Statement, the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2018 (the 2018 Annual Report), and the previous WHITE proxy card or previous voting instruction form were first made available on or about May 1, 2019, to all shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Except as described in this Supplement, the information provided in the Proxy Statement continues to apply and should be considered in voting your shares. To the extent that information in this Supplement differs from or updates information contained in the Proxy Statement, the information in this Supplement is more current and this Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement.
You are encouraged to sign, date and promptly return the revised WHITE proxy card or revised voting instruction form to ensure that your shares are voted for the Boards slate of eleven (11) nominees.
UPDATED SLATE OF NOMINEES FOR ELECTION; TERMINATION OF CANYON SOLICITATION
On May 2, 2019, the Company, entered into the Agreement with Canyon, for the purpose of, among other things, resolving the pending proxy contest.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company agreed to nominate Marjorie Bowen and Larry Klane for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. William M. Diefenderfer, III has also notified the Board of his decision not to stand for re-election to the Board at the Annual Meeting.
Accordingly, as of the Annual Meeting, the size of the Board will now be set at eleven (11) members and the Boards slate of director nominees submitted for election at the Annual Meeting is as follows:
Frederick Arnold
Marjorie Bowen
Anna Escobedo Cabral
Larry Klane
Katherine A. Lehman
Linda A. Mills
John (Jack) F. Remondi
Jane J. Thompson
Laura S. Unger

Canyon has withdrawn its slate of four (4) nominees for election as directors at the Annual Meeting, discontinued its proxy solicitation with respect to the Annual Meeting and agreed to vote in favor of the Boards slate of director nominees.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the election of each of the nominees named above on the revised WHITE proxy card or revised voting instruction form.
For further information regarding the Agreement, please see the summary set forth below under the section entitled Agreement with Canyon.

Voting of Proxies
In light of the developments described in this Supplement, this Supplement supplements and amends the Proxy Statement and includes additional information you should read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement. In accordance with the procedures described in the Proxy Statement, since William M. Diefenderfer, III has informed the Company of his decision not to stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting, votes for him on any previous WHITE proxy card or previous voting instruction form submitted by shareholders will be disregarded. Voting on the previous WHITE proxy card or previous voting instruction form will also not count as a vote for Ms. Bowen or Mr. Klane. If you have voted on the previous WHITE proxy card or previous voting instruction form, the persons named as proxies on the proxy card will vote as you previously instructed with respect to the remaining nominees listed, as well as with respect to the other proposals listed. If you have already submitted the previous WHITE proxy card or previous voting instruction form and you do not wish to change your vote, you do not have to take any further action.
However, in order to vote for the Boards full slate of eleven (11) nominees, the Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the election of each of the nominees listed on the revised WHITE proxy card or revised voting instruction form.
If your shares are held in street name through a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank, trustee or other nominee how to vote your shares. Without your voting instructions your broker, bank, trustee or other nominee may only vote your shares on proposals considered to be routine matters. The only routine matter being considered at the meeting is Proposal 2 (relating to the ratification of the independent registered public accounting firm). Proposals 1, 3 and 4 are considered non-routine matters. For non-routine matters, your shares will not be voted without your specific voting instructions. If your shares are held in street name through a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee, the election of Ms. Bowen will appear on your revised voting instruction form as Proposal 5 and the election of Mr. Klane will appear on your revised voting instruction form as Proposal 6. We encourage you to instruct your broker, bank, trustee or other nominee to vote your shares by filling out and returning the revised voting instruction form.
This Supplement, the Companys Revised Notice of 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Proxy Statement and the Companys 2018 Annual Report are also available free of charge at https://www.navient.com/about/investors/stockholderinfo and http://www.ViewOurMaterial.com/NAVI.
If you have any questions, please contact MacKenzie toll-free at 800-322-2885, collect at 212-929-5500 or via email at navient@mackenziepartners.com.
Election of Directors
The Companys Second Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that an election of directors will be by a plurality of the votes cast in a contested election, where the number of nominees for director exceeds the number of directors to be elected ten (10) days in advance of the date that the Company files its definitive proxy statement (regardless of whether or not such definitive proxy statement is thereafter revised or supplemented) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) for a meeting at which directors are to be elected. As previously disclosed in the Proxy Statement, Canyon nominated a slate of four (4) director candidates for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting in opposition to the ten (10) nominees previously recommended by the Board and had not withdrawn such nomination when the Company filed the Proxy Statement. As a result, the election is considered to be contested, and the eleven (11) candidates for election as directors receiving the highest number of shares voted FOR the nominees election will be elected to the Board at the Annual Meeting, notwithstanding the fact that following the filing of the Companys Proxy Statement, Canyon agreed to withdraw its four (4) nominees. Shares that are not voted in the election of directors, including abstentions and broker non-votes, will have no direct effect on the election of directors. Those shares, however, are taken into account in determining whether a sufficient number of shares are present to establish a quorum.

Agreement with Canyon
On May 2, 2019, Navient entered into a cooperation agreement (the Agreement) with Canyon. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Board agreed, among other things, to appoint Marjorie Bowen and Larry Klane as directors of the Company, subject to satisfaction of customary conditions, and to nominate and recommend Ms. Bowen and Mr. Klane for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. The Agreement also provides for customary director replacement rights in the event Canyon beneficially owns at least seven and one half percent (7.5%) of the Companys then-outstanding shares. In connection with the Agreement, Canyon will withdraw its nomination notice and agreed to vote in favor of the slate of directors nominated by the Board for election at the Annual Meeting. Canyon also agreed to vote in accordance with the Boards recommendation with respect to each proposal specified in the Proxy Statement if presented at the Annual Meeting, unless either Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (ISS) or Glass, Lewis & Co. (Glass Lewis) issues a recommendation against the Boards position, in which case Canyon will have the right to vote in accordance with such ISS or Glass Lewis recommendation.
Under the terms of the Agreement, Canyon has agreed to abide by customary standstill restrictions until the earlier of (i) ten (10) business days prior to the deadline for submission of a notice of shareholder nomination of individuals for election as directors of the Company at the Companys 2020 annual meeting of shareholders (the 2020 Annual Meeting) and (ii) December 31, 2019 (the Standstill Period). Pursuant to the Agreement, Ms. Bowen, Mr. Klane and Frederick Arnold, a director of the Company, have each delivered to the Company an irrevocable advance resignation letter tendering their respective resignations from the Board in the event Canyon nominates one or more directors in connection with the 2020 Annual Meeting, which resignations may be accepted by the Board in its sole discretion. Canyon has also agreed not to nominate Ms. Bowen, Mr. Klane or Mr. Arnold for election to the Board at the 2020 Annual Meeting.
Pursuant to the Agreement, Barry L. Williams has agreed to retire from the Board prior to August 31, 2019. After Mr. Diefenderfer and Mr. Williams are no longer directors and during the Standstill Period, the Board has agreed that its size will be no more than ten (10) directors. The Company has agreed that the Board will select from among the independent directors a new Chairperson, effective as of the Annual Meeting.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Board appointed Mr. Arnold as a member of the Finance and Operations Committee of the Board and the Board agreed that such committee will retain, in its discretion, one or more financial advisors and/or consultants to assist with its oversight and review of the Companys policies and practices. The Company also agreed that the Board will appoint at least one of Ms. Bowen and Mr. Klane to each of the Nominations and Governance Committee of the Board and the Compensation and Personnel Committee of the Board, respectively. The specific committee appointments of each of Ms. Bowen and Mr. Klane will be determined by the Board.
The parties also agreed to customary mutual non-disparagement provisions, and the Company agreed to reimburse Canyon for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses related to preparing for, engaging in and settling the proxy contest up to a cap of $2,750,000.
The Company filed the Agreement as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 3, 2019. The description of the Agreement in this Supplement is qualified by the full text of the Agreement.
