</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In February, I wrote to you about Navient&#146;s interactions with Canyon Capital Advisors LLC, one of our largest
shareholders. As key stakeholders interested in the future of our company, I want to provide you with an update on the situation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">First, I want to thank
you for maintaining our high standards of customer service and aggressively pursuing our business objectives. Our continuing strong operating results provide evidence that Team Navient is creating greater value by focusing on the work at hand. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Navient is on the right course for continued success. We have a consistent track record of maximizing our cash flow, operating efficiently, and returning
realized cash flow to investors. In fact, when compared to other similar companies, our financial metrics are best in class. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Since launching as Navient,
we have generated $21 billion in cash flow, $6 billion more than originally projected. Our operating expense ratios demonstrate our industry leading efficiency while delivering best in class performance. And since our launch we have paid out 121% of
earnings to shareholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have also leveraged our existing expertise, systems/infrastructure and performance delivery to build new services and
products that generate attractive earnings margins and returns on capital. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">These actions and performance have been for the benefit of all shareholders,
and we believe our strategy and plans will continue to benefit all shareholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">You will recall, in <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">mid-February</FONT>
our Board responded to an &#147;expression of interest&#148; from Canyon and Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC to acquire our company that was highly conditional, unsolicited and low premium. The Board carefully reviewed and then rejected the expression
of interest because it substantially undervalued the company and because Canyon and Platinum did not adequately address a number of significant items. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Shortly after our Board rejected the expression of interest, Canyon withdrew it and then announced its intent to nominate four director candidates to stand
for election at Navient&#146;s 2019 annual meeting of shareholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In recent weeks, your management team and the Board have had ongoing discussions with
Canyon to reach an amicable resolution. We have also interviewed Canyon&#146;s Board candidates and evaluated their experience, suitability and independence. In order to avoid the expense and distraction of a proxy fight, we offered to accept one of
the candidates from their proposed slate and work with them to add a second new independent director with the appropriate skills and experience of value to all investors. Unfortunately, they rejected this offer and no agreement has been reached, as
of this date. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Contested election of directors both Navient and Canyon are required to file preliminary proxy statements with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;) that provide information to shareholders about the upcoming Annual Meeting, including the nominees who will stand for election and the proposals to be voted on. Canyon filed its preliminary proxy statement
with the SEC yesterday and we filed ours today. In ours, we included the names and bios of our highly qualified and independent directors and also discussed the other proposals to be voted on by our shareholders at the upcoming annual meeting. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Looking ahead, it is possible that Navient and Canyon will continue to seek an amicable resolution. However,
it is also possible that the matter plays out as a &#147;proxy contest,&#148; which means that both Navient and Canyon would work to convince shareholders to vote for their nominees to serve on the Board. During a proxy campaign, opposing parties
take competing positions and frequently make critical statements about one another. I ask that we don&#146;t let this situation distract us from our good work. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have a strong management team and a highly qualified, independent Board that is committed to the highest standards of corporate governance. We will
continue to keep you advised as events transpire. I very much appreciate your commitment and dedication to Navient. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Important Additional Information
and Where to Find It </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company, its directors and certain of its executive officers and employees may be deemed to be participants in the
solicitation of proxies from shareholders in connection with the Company&#146;s 2019 annual meeting of shareholders (the &#147;2019 Annual Meeting&#148;). On April&nbsp;5, 2019, the Company filed a preliminary proxy statement with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;) in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the 2019 Annual Meeting. Prior to the 2019 Annual Meeting, the Company will furnish a definitive proxy statement to its shareholders (the
&#147;2019 Proxy Statement&#148;), together with a WHITE proxy card. SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE 2019 PROXY STATEMENT (INCLUDING ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS THERETO) AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS THAT THE COMPANY WILL FILE WITH THE SEC
CAREFULLY IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Additional information regarding the identity of these potential participants and their direct or indirect interests, by security holdings or
otherwise, is set forth in the preliminary proxy statement for the 2019 Annual Meeting and will be set forth in the 2019 Proxy Statement and other materials to be filed with the SEC in connection with the 2019 Annual Meeting. </P>

Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the company&#146;s beliefs, opinions or expectations and statements that assume or are dependent upon future events, are forward-looking statements and often contain words such as
&#147;expect,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;seek,&#148; &#147;see,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; &#147;would,&#148; &#147;may,&#148; &#147;could,&#148; &#147;should,&#148; &#147;goals,&#148;
or &#147;target.&#148; Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from those reflected in such forward-looking statements. For Navient, these
factors include, among others, the risks and uncertainties associated with increases in financing costs; the availability of financing or limits on our liquidity resulting from disruptions in the capital markets or other factors; unanticipated
increases in costs associated with compliance with federal, state or local laws and regulations; changes in the demand for asset management and business processing solutions or other changes in marketplaces in which we compete (including increased
competition); changes in accounting standards including but not limited to changes pertaining to loan loss reserves and estimates or other accounting standards that may impact our operations; adverse outcomes in any significant litigation to which
the company is a party; credit risk associated with the company&#146;s underwriting standards or exposure to third parties, including counterparties to hedging transactions; and changes in the terms of education loans and the educational credit
marketplace (including changes resulting from new laws and the implementation of existing laws). The company could also be affected by, among other things: unanticipated repayment trends on loans including prepayments or deferrals in our
securitization trusts that could accelerate or delay repayment </P>
