Item 8.01 Other Events.
On July 22, 2010, Nelnet, Inc. (the “Company”), issued a press release announcing it will issue an earnings release for the second quarter of 2010 before market open on August 9, 2010 and host a conference call to discuss the results at 11:00 a.m. (Eastern) on August 10, 2010. A copy of the earnings release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
We expect that affiliates of the Company will from time to time engage in financing transactions that may result in the disclosure of current information about the Company to participants in the financing transactions. In order to provide corresponding disclosure under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in appropriate cases the Company will include in a report on Form 8-K any such current information.
The Company has previously reported on a complaint filed against it in a Federal False Claims Act proceeding (the “Oberg Complaint”). Exhibit 99.2 to this report provides additional information concerning recent developments in that matter, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Information other than historical facts contained in this report may be considered forward looking in nature and is subject to various risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, or expected. Among the key factors that may have a direct bearing on the Company’s operating results, performance, or financial condition expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements herein are the pending nature of the legal proceeding reported herein and its initial stage as to the Company, and other matters discussed in the Risk Factors section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC. Although the Company may from time to time voluntarily update its prior forward-looking statements, it disclaims any commitment to do so except as required by securities laws.
