Item 8.01. Other Events. On December 19, 2024, Navient Corporation, a Delaware Corporation (the " Company "), entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the " Purchase Agreement ") with Gallant GAPS Holdings, LLC (" Gallant "), a subsidiary of Gallant Capital Partners, LLC, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell its government services business (Navient Business Processing Group and its subsidiaries) to Gallant (the " Transaction "). The Company's government services business includes Navient Business Processing Group, Duncan Solutions, Gila, Municipal Services Bureau, Pioneer Credit Recovery and Navient BPO. Approximately 1,200 Company employees will be included in the Transaction, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. We expect to recognize a loss related to this transaction between $25 and $35 million in our fourth quarter 2024 results. This estimated loss is based on several significant estimates, including the consideration that will be recognized as part of the sale as well as the book value of the government services business that is being sold. The final financial statement impact of the sale has not yet been determined and will depend on, among other things, net sale proceeds and the book value at the time of closing. As previously disclosed in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the book value of the government services business was approximately $50 million. Due to a change in the deal structure, the book value being sold will now include approximately $20 million of deferred tax assets transferring to the buyer. This change in deal structure leads to an increase in net cash proceeds to the Company. As previously disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 20, 2024, the Company previously completed the sale of its equity interests in its healthcare services business for $369 million, resulting in a $219
