In January 2017, the Consumer Financial Protection
      Bureau (the “CFPB”)and the Attorneys General for the State of Illinois and the State of Washington initiated civil actions naming Navient and several of its subsidiaries (including Navient Solutions) as defendants
        alleging violations of certain federal and state consumer protection statutes, including the CFPA, the FCRA, the FDCPA and various state consumer protection laws. In October 2017, the Attorney General for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania initiated
        a civil action against Navient and Navient Solutions, containing similar alleged violations of the CFPA and the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law. The Attorneys General for the States of California, Mississippi and, in
        October 2020, New Jersey have also initiated actions against Navient and certain subsidiaries alleging violations of various state and federal consumer protection laws based on similar alleged acts or failures to act. We refer to the Washington,
        Illinois, Pennsylvania, California, Mississippi and New Jersey Attorneys General collectively as the “State Attorneys General.” In addition to these matters, a number of lawsuits have been filed by nongovernmental parties or, in the future, may be
        filed by additional governmental or nongovernmental parties seeking damages or other remedies related to similar issues raised by the CFPB and the State Attorneys General. In January 2022, Navient entered
        into a series of Consent Judgment and Orders (the “Agreements”) with 40 state attorneys general to resolve all matters in dispute related to the State Attorneys General cases as well as the related investigations, subpoenas, civil investigative
        demands and inquiries from various other state regulators. These Agreements do not resolve the litigation involving Navient and the CFPB. Navient will cancel loan balances of approximately 66,000 borrowers with qualifying private education loans
        that were originated largely between 2002 and 2010 and later defaulted and charged off.  The loans to be cancelled have aggregate outstanding balances of approximately $1.7 billion. The expense to Navient to cancel these loans is approximately $50
        million which represents the amount of expected future recoveries of these charged-off loans on the balance sheet. In addition, Navient agreed to make a one-time payment of approximately $145 million to the states.
