EXPLANATORY NOTE
This
Amendment No. 6 (this “Amendment No. 6”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer
Statement on Schedule TO (the “Schedule TO”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) on May 14, 2010, as amended on May 17,
2010, May 18, 2010, May 26, 2010, June 10, 2010 and
June 16, 2010,
relating to an offer by SLM Corporation (the “Company”), to exchange certain outstanding options to
purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (“Eligible Options”) for replacement options
(“Replacement Options”), filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) to the Schedule TO.
This
Amendment No. 6 is filed to amend the report of the results of the exchange offer by amending only the
item of the Schedule TO included below, and unaffected items are not included herein. Except as
specifically provided in this Amendment No. 6, the information contained in the Schedule TO remains
unchanged. This Amendment No. 6 should be read in conjunction with the Schedule TO. All defined
terms used in this Amendment No. 6 have the same meaning as in the Offer to Exchange.
Item 4. Terms of the Transaction.
Item 4 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:
The exchange offer expired at 11:59 p.m., U.S. Eastern Time, on June 14, 2010. Pursuant to the
exchange offer, 15,115,747 Eligible Options were tendered and accepted by the Company, representing
approximately 89% of the total shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Eligible
Options. On June 14, 2010, the Company granted the Replacement Options, consisting of an aggregate of
7,967,709 new stock options, in exchange for the Eligible Options surrendered in the exchange offer. The
exercise (or base) price of the Replacement Options is $11.39, which was the closing price
of the Company’s common stock on June 14, 2010, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange. The
Replacement Options have a new vesting condition of six months, twelve months or two annual
installments following the grant date, depending on the original vesting terms of the Eligible
Options.
