(1) On February 4, 2014, Mr. Lutz was granted 54,556 restricted stock units ("RSUs") representing rights to receive shares of SLM Corporation (the "Company") common stock in the future. Pursuant to the terms of the grant, shares will vest, and will be converted into shares of common stock, in one-third increments on February 4, 2015, 2016 and 2017. As previously reported, on April 30, 2014, the award was adjusted as a result of the spin-off of Navient Corporation by the Company to reflect 152,131 RSUs outstanding. On February 4, 2015, 50,710 shares of such RSUs vested and 296 additional shares were issued to Mr. Lutz pursuant to the related dividend equivalent rights, of which 18,148 shares were withheld by the Company to satisfy Mr. Lutz's tax withholding obligations.
(2) On February 04, 2014, a portion of Mr. Lutz's 2013 Management Incentive Plan Award was deferred in the form of vested RSUs that carry transfer restrictions that lapse in one-third increments on February 04, 2015, February 04, 2016 and February 04, 2017. On February 4, 2015, the restrictions lapsed on 5,252 RSUs, and 30 additional shares issued to Mr. Lutz pursuant to the related divided equivalent rights, and 1,736 shares of the Company common stock were withheld to satisfy Mr. Lutz's tax obligations in connection with the lapsing of such restrictions.
