DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

 

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-33575) (the “Registration Statement”) of SLM Corporation (formerly USA Education, Inc. and formerly SLM Holding Corporation) (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and became effective on August 14, 1997. The Registration Statement registered 13,125,000 shares (taking into account subsequent stock splits) of the Company’s Common Stock for offering under the SLM Corporation Employees’ Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”).

 

In accordance with the undertakings contained in Part II of the Registration Statement, the Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to remove from registration 5,500,000 shares that were registered to be offered under the Plan. This action is necessary because the Plan was amended on November 16, 2002, and on May 19, 2005, to decrease by 4,500,000 shares and 1,000,000 shares, respectively (taking into account all relevant stock splits), the shares authorized to be issued under the Plan.
