Summary
Navient Corporation announced a corporate reorganization that will create a new holding company, Navient Holdings, Inc., as the parent of Navient LLC and Earnest.

The transaction is structured under Delaware law to require no stockholder vote and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026. The company also plans to classify an additional $1.4 billion of legacy loans as held for sale in Q3 2026. For retail investors, the key takeaway is that economic ownership is unchanged—each share converts one-for-one—and the ticker and exchange remain the same. The reorganization is a structural change intended to separate the legacy and continuing businesses, with no immediate impact on share count or trading. The furnished investor presentation provides additional detail on the projected cash flows and growth metrics for each segment.
