Forward Looking Statements
This investor presentation contains “forward-looking statements” and information based on management’s current expectations as of the date of
this release, including the planned separation of Sallie Mae’s portfolios holding federally guaranteed and private education loans, as well as most
related servicing and collections activities, from the private education loan origination and servicing business, including Sallie Mae Bank and the
private loans it currently holds, and the expected financial results of the two companies after the separation. Statements that are not historical
facts, including statements about Sallie Mae’s beliefs or expectations and statements that assume or are dependent upon future events, are
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause actual
results to be materially different from those reflected in such forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, the risks and
uncertainties set forth in Item 1A “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in Sallie Mae’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012;
increases in financing costs; limits on liquidity; increases in costs associated with compliance with laws and regulations; changes in accounting
standards and the impact of related changes in significant accounting estimates; any adverse outcomes in any significant litigation to which Sallie
Mae is a party; credit risk associated with Sallie Mae’s exposure to third parties, including counterparties to Sallie Mae’s derivative transactions;
and changes in the terms of student loans and the educational credit marketplace (including changes resulting from new laws and the
implementation of existing laws). Sallie Mae could also be affected by, among other things: changes in its funding costs and availability; reductions
to its credit ratings or the credit ratings of the United States of America; failures of its operating systems or infrastructure, including those of third-
party vendors; damage to its reputation; failures to successfully implement cost-cutting and restructuring initiatives and adverse effects of such
initiatives on its business; changes in the demand for educational financing or in financing preferences of lenders, educational institutions,
students and their families; changes in law and regulations with respect to the student lending business and financial institutions generally;
increased competition from banks and other consumer lenders; the creditworthiness of its customers; changes in the general interest rate
environment, including the rate relationships among relevant money-market instruments and those of its earning assets vs. its funding
arrangements; changes in general economic conditions; and changes in the demand for debt management services. The preparation of Sallie
Mae’s consolidated financial statements also requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions including estimates and
assumptions about future events. These estimates or assumptions may prove to be incorrect. All forward-looking statements contained in this
investor presentation are qualified by these cautionary statements and are made only as of the date of this presentation. Sallie Mae does not
undertake any obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements to conform the statement to actual results or changes in its
expectations except as required by law. In addition, the planned separation transaction and the terms, details, asset allocations, timing and
implementation are all subject to change as Sallie Mae continues to consider, analyze and work on the implementation of the foregoing.

Proposed Transaction Details
Proposed
Transaction
Structure
Financial
Details
Timing &
Approvals
The separation would be effected via a tax-free spin-off to Sallie Mae shareholders
Upon completion of the transaction, Sallie Mae’s then current shareholders would own 100% of the
common stock of both NewCo and Sallie Mae Bank, each of which would be independent, publicly
traded companies
Distribution ratio for the spin-off has not been determined
All existing secured and unsecured debt will remain at NewCo
NewCo expects to follow a capital return policy that is consistent with current policy (dividend and
share repurchase)
Sallie Mae Bank is not expected to pay a common dividend initially in order to retain capital to
support growth
Expect the separation of the business and spin-off distribution to be completed within 12 months
Subject to certain customary conditions including Board of Director approval, receipt of a favorable
IRS ruling and tax opinion, SEC effectiveness of Form 10
The contemplated separation and distribution will not require a shareholder vote
