On October 7, 2022, 5,550 shares of such RSUs were settled and an additional 486 shares were issued to the reporting person upon the vesting of the related dividend equivalent rights.  In connection with this settlement, 1,818 shares were withheld by Navient, as approved by the Committee, to satisfy the reporting person's tax withholding obligations.</footnote>
