The Student Loan Corporation also announced that at a hearing on December 1, 2010, the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware entertained a motion for a preliminary injunction and a motion for partial summary judgment made by the plaintiffs in the consolidated putative class action challenging the Company's previously announced transactions with Discover, an affiliate of Sallie Mae and Citigroup Inc. Following the hearing, the court declined to grant either of the plaintiffs’ motions, thus permitting the special meeting of stockholders and eventual closing of the transactions to move forward.
