Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 7, 2024 (the “Signing Date”), Navient Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Coding Solutions Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CorroHealth” or the “Buyer”).

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions therein, the Company agreed to sell to the Buyer the Company’s equity interests in Xtend Healthcare, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (“Xtend”), for cash consideration of $365 million, subject to certain customary adjustments (the “Transaction”).  The Transaction covers and is intended to sell the healthcare services business of the Company’s Business Processing Segment. 

The Purchase Agreement provides that the closing of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including, among other things, (i) the accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties (subject to customary materiality standards), (ii) each party’s compliance in all material respects with its pre-closing covenants, (iii) the expiration or termination of the waiting period (and any extension thereof) applicable to the consummation of the Transaction under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), (iv) the absence of any law or governmental order preventing, making illegal or prohibiting the consummation of the Transaction, (v) the absence of a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) that has occurred since August 7, 2024 and (vi) the delivery of customary closing deliverables, including entry into a transition services agreement, pursuant to which a subsidiary of the Company will agree to provide certain services to the Buyer for a period of time to be determined following the closing.

The Buyer has access to debt financing from certain lenders that will be used to fund the Transaction. However, the closing of the Transaction is not conditioned upon the Buyer obtaining any financing.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary termination provisions, including the right of either the Company or the Buyer to terminate if the closing of the Transaction has not occurred by October 6, 2024, subject to automatic extension to December 5, 2024 if the only then-outstanding closing conditions relate to the termination or expiration of the waiting period (and any extension thereof) applicable to the consummation of the Transaction under the HSR Act or any governmental order related to the HSR Act preventing, making illegal or prohibiting the consummation of the Transaction.

The Purchase Agreement provides that, for a period of two years following the closing of the Transaction, the Company, together with its subsidiaries, will not engage in a business that is competitive with Xtend’s revenue cycle management business (or any other business of Xtend) as conducted as of, or during the 12 months prior to, the Signing Date, subject to certain exceptions.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

The Purchase Agreement has been attached as an exhibit to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company or the Buyer. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for the purposes of such agreement and as of specified dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. The representations and warranties may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Purchase Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Purchase Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or the Buyer or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. In addition, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement are qualified by information in a confidential disclosure schedule that the parties have exchanged. Accordingly, investors should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts, since (i) they were made only as of the date of such agreement or a prior, specified date, (ii) in some cases they are subject to qualifications with respect to materiality, knowledge and/or other matters, and (iii) they may be modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedule. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

On August 13, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the Transaction. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information furnished under this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
