SLM closes $500 million 6.500% senior notes offering due 2030, to redeem 2025 notes

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 financing Written later

SLM Corporation closed a $500 million offering of 6.500% senior notes due January 31, 2030, and said it will use the proceeds, with cash on hand, to redeem in full its $500 million 4.200% senior notes due 2025. The filing also sets a February 18, 2025 redemption date for those older notes, which refinances existing debt rather than adding a stated amount of new borrowing beyond the offering itself.

Key points

  • Offering: $500 million of 6.500% senior notes due January 31, 2030, closed January 31, 2025
  • Interest payable January 31 and July 31 each year, beginning July 31, 2025
  • Proceeds plus cash on hand to redeem all $500 million of 4.200% notes due 2025 on February 18, 2025
  • Underwriters J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Barclays Capital Inc. under an agreement dated January 29, 2025

Written later: this filing was briefed after the fact, when past filings were added to the site, so the brief may be read with hindsight; the filing itself is the record of what was known on January 31, 2025.
