Exhibit A

During the year ended December 31, 2012, Servicer discovered a servicing issue with respect to the servicing of certain consolidation loans made under
Section 428C(a)(3) of the Higher Education Act (repealed effective July 1, 2006). Some of such spousal consolidation loans apparently were incorrectly deferred. As a result, some borrowers have received the benefit of deferment of
repayment for which they may not have been eligible. Servicer has notified the Department of Education of the issue and is working with the Department on resolution.
