AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · SLM (SLM)

SLM Corp says Chief Commercial Officer Donna Vieira will retire April 3, 2026

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 leadership Written later

SLM Corporation entered a retention agreement with Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer Donna F. Vieira, who will resign as Chief Commercial Officer by December 31, 2025 and retire as an employee by April 3, 2026. She will receive a $750,000 cash retention bonus if she meets the agreement's conditions, which matters to shareholders because it sets the timeline for a senior commercial leadership change.

Key points

  • Vieira resigns as Chief Commercial Officer on the Transition Date, no later than December 31, 2025, unless the company sets an earlier date to hire a successor
  • Retention Bonus of $750,000, payable subject to continued performance and transition assistance through the Separation Date
  • Retirement as an employee on April 3, 2026; she is not entitled to severance under the Severance Plan
