Event Summary

A class action lawsuit has been filed against Sallie Mae (Sallie Mae) by Berger Montague on behalf of investors who purchased securities between July 25, 2025, and August 14, 2025. The lawsuit alleges that Sallie Mae misled investors regarding a significant rise in private education loan delinquencies, falsely attributing them to seasonal patterns and touting ineffective loss mitigation efforts. The truth was revealed by a Toronto-Dominion Bank===TD Cowen report on August 14, 2025, showing a 49-basis-point month-over-month increase in July delinquencies, exceeding seasonal norms. Following this disclosure, Sallie Mae's stock dropped 8.09%, closing at $30.32 on August 15, 2025.
