Item 5.07
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
 
The consent of 100% of the holders of the Class A-3 Notes and Class B Notes of the SLM Student Loan Trust 2012-1 (the “2012-1 Trust”) was solicited beginning September 26, 2016, in an effort to extend the Class A-3 Maturity Date to the May 2055 Distribution Date and to extend the Class B Maturity Date to the May 2055 Distribution Date, pursuant to a Supplemental Indenture No. 1A (“Supplemental Indenture 1A”) proposed to be entered into among the 2012-1 Trust, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company Americas, not in its individual capacity but solely as Eligible Lender Trustee, and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, not in its individual capacity but solely as Indenture Trustee.
 
As of December 27, 2016, consents had been obtained from (and not subsequently revoked by) holders of Class A-3 Notes representing 99.92% of the issued and outstanding Class A-3 Notes, and consents had not yet been received from holders of Class A-3 Notes representing 00.08% of the issued and outstanding Class A-3 Notes (the “Non-Consenting Noteholders”). As of December 27, 2016, consents had been obtained from (and not subsequently revoked by) holders of Class B Notes representing 100.00% of the issued and outstanding Class B Notes.
 
While consents ceased being actively solicited on December 20, 2016, the final expiration date of the solicitations, the only effect of that date was to make revocable all consents previously obtained.  No revocation of any consent previously obtained has been received.
 
As of December 27, 2016, it was determined that it was unlikely that any consents would be obtained from the Non-Consenting Noteholders, and that it was unlikely that the Class A-3 and Class B solicitation would result in Supplemental Indenture 1A being entered into, the Class A-3 Maturity Date being extended to May 2055 or the Class B Maturity Date being extended to May 2055.  However, to the extent that in the future consents are received from all Non-Consenting Noteholders, no Class A-3 and Class B consents have been revoked, and the received consents together represent 100% of the then-current holders of each of the Class A-3 Notes and the Class B Notes, Supplemental Indenture 1A may still be entered into and the Class A-3 Maturity date may still be extended to the May 2055 Distribution Date and the Class B Maturity date may still be extended to the May 2055 Distribution Date.
