Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 12, 2014, Nelnet Servicing, LLC (“Nelnet Servicing”), a subsidiary of Nelnet, Inc. (the “Company”), received a Modification of Contract (the “Modification”) from the United States Department of Education (the “Department”), pursuant to which the Department exercised its optional ordering period under the previously reported student loan servicing contract between the Department and Nelnet Servicing (the “Servicing Contract”) to extend the Servicing Contract for an additional five years through June 16, 2019. As previously reported by the Company, Nelnet Servicing is one of four private sector companies awarded a student loan servicing contract by the Department in June 2009 to provide additional servicing capacity for loans owned by the Department, with new loan volume currently being allocated among the four servicers based on certain performance metrics established by the Department. The Servicing Contract was originally scheduled to expire in June 2014, with a five-year extension at the option of the Department. Loan servicing volume under the Servicing Contract, as extended by the Modification, will remain subject to task orders issued by the Department.
A copy of the Modification is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report, and the previously filed copy of the Servicing Contract is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 10.2 to this report.
