Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On May 7, 2024, Navient Solutions, LLC (“Navient”), a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Navient Corporation (the “Company”), and Higher Education Loan Authority of the State of Missouri (“MOHELA”), a leading provider of student loan servicing for government and commercial enterprises and a body politic and corporate and public instrumentality of the State of Missouri, entered into a Master Terms Agreement (the “MTA”).  The effective date of the MTA is May 7, 2024 (the “Effective Date”).    

 

Pursuant to the MTA, Navient will outsource its student loan servicing operations to MOHELA.  MOHELA will act as sub-servicer for student loan portfolios that are currently serviced by Navient and for any new loans that Navient acquires or disburses after the Effective Date.  MOHELA is expected to begin servicing such loans in the third quarter of 2024, subject to the completion of the transfer of approximately 900 Navient employees to MOHELA and satisfaction of other conditions set out in the MTA.

 

The MTA includes customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements related to servicing and custody of loans; proprietary rights; transfer of personnel; performance and service requirements; change of control procedures and quality assurance; use of third parties; audit, regulatory and compliance, and confidentiality rights and obligations; data safeguards; and default and termination.  The MTA also includes provisions related to the transition services support that the Company may provide for a period of up to eighteen months following the Effective Date (or for such other period as agreed to by the parties).  Additionally, the MTA contains customary indemnification obligations of each party.

  

The MTA will continue in full force and effect for so long as any loans serviced under the MTA remain outstanding, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the termination provisions provided for in the MTA.

 

MOHELA will be entitled to fees based on the applicable services provided, in accordance with a schedule specified in the MTA.  

 

The foregoing description of the MTA is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms of the MTA, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
