|---|---|
| GENERAL STATEMENT 1 | FORM 990, PART III, MISSION STATEMENT "Our vision is that people receive trusted guidance to make informed decisions and improve their lives." TG administers the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP). |
| GENERAL STATEMENT 2 | FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A - Guarantor Operations: TG's Guarantor Operation encompasses the administration of the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) on behalf of the U.S. Department of Education. As of Fiscal year end, TG's outstanding loan portfolio balance exceeds $10 billion. Program Service Accomplishments: Promoting borrower success is a long-term endeavor, starting before a student borrower enrolls in college and lasting through repayment. TG has a set of specialized teams - Customer Assistance, Default Prevention, Claims and Default Recovery - that serve borrowers throughout the student loan lifecycle. These teams educate student borrowers about loans and their repayment options and help them return to repayment in the case of delinquency or default. Customer Assistance - With extensive knowledge of both federal and Texas-based financial aid, TG provides services to assist students and families at all stages in the higher education experience whether considering the higher education path, attending college, or managing loan repayment. To accomplish this, TG has partnered with state agencies to promote the value of higher education and to inform students and families of available financial aid options. TG is an active player in the higher education community's efforts to close the gaps in student awareness, participation and success. Default Prevention - TG works with student loan borrowers, lenders and servicers to help prevent default on student loans. Counselors work with borrowers who have entered delinquency, educating them on student loan repayment options, deferments and forbearances in order for borrowers to successfully repay their federal student loans and avoid default. In FY16, the team received 168,065 Default Aversion Assistance Requests from lenders and successfully averted approximately $3.1 billion from default. As a result, more borrowers return to and make progress in repayment, which allows the borrowers to avoid the negative consequences of default, including damaged credit, the loss of eligibility for federal student aid and the high cost of collection fees. Claims - TG processes default claims submitted by lenders that have been unsuccessful in transitioning borrowers with delinquent loans back into repayment. When lenders make claims on TG-guaranteed loans, TG verifies the lender's compliance with FFEL program requirements, and, if valid, manages the purchase of the loan from the lender. It is at that time that the loan enters TG's portfolio for collection. In FY16, TG processed claims totaling approximately $523 million. Collections - Upon default claim payment, TG is statutorily required to pursue collection efforts on behalf of the federal government on all TG-guaranteed student loans. While the team's core responsibility is to recover taxpayer assets, TG works with borrowers to find the best option for them in resolving their default. The goal is to help the borrower return to repayment in a way that repairs their credit. In FY16, TG's Default recovery team helped 34,484 borrowers return to repayment. Of those, 47.21 percent returned through such beneficial programs as reasonable and affordable repayment and rehabilitation, the best solution for borrowers with defaulted loans. In FY16, TG collected approximately $680 million in defaulted student loans. |
| GENERAL STATEMENT 3 | FORM 990, PART III, Line 4b - Non-Guarantor Operations: TG's non-guarantor operations include various endeavors related to promoting access to higher education, including TG's philanthropic activities. |

| GENERAL STATEMENT 5 | PROCESS OF REVIEWING THE 990 FORM 990, PART VI, Section B, Line 11b: TG's Accounting Department works with its CPA firm to prepare the 990. Once a final draft is available, it is submitted to executive management (including the CFO) for review. Once all questions have been resolved, the return, in its final form, is provided to the TG board of directors prior to filing. |
| ENFORCEMENT OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY | Form 990, PART VI, Section B, Line 12c: TG's Code of Business Conduct is a policy which all employees, officers, and directors must agree to. Within the Code of Business Conduct, managers, keys employees, officers and directors are required to disclose any business interests outside of TG. TG's legal counsel proactively reviews and acts on potential conflicts. Actual conflicts, should they occur, may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination and possible criminal prosecution. TG team members are required to complete periodic training as it relates to TG's Code of Business Conduct. |
| COMPENSATION DETERMINATION | Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15a and 15b: TG contracts with a third party consultant to provide benchmark data for TG employees and officers, including annual compensation studies which are presented to the TG Board of Directors for their review. The third party consultants use compensation data for similarly qualified persons in the comparable positions for both officers and key employees in similar organizations. Documentation to support benchmark decisions regarding compensation arrangements for all employees is retained. The officer and employee positions for which the benchmarking process is used to establish compensation occurs annually. The Board of Directors specifically reviews executive management compensation benchmarks and approves annual adjustments and/or merit increases as recommended by the President/CEO. Annually, the Board makes specific decisions on the President/CEO's salary. |
| DISCLOSURE OF DOCUMENTS | Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19: TG's Code of Business Conduct is available to all employees and the general public via TG's website: www.tgslc.org. TG's audited financial statements are available upon request. |

| GENERAL STATEMENT 7 | FORM 990, PART VIII, LINE 2C - PROGRAM SERVICE REVENUE: Beginning in FY2016, claims paid were eligible for reinsurance from the Department of Education (ED) equal to 100% of the claim paid amount. Previously, claims paid were eligible for reinsurance from ED, typically at 95 percent of the claim paid amount, and as a result, TGs Restricted Fund maintained an Allowance for Non-reinsured Loan Defaults equal to the net present value of the unreinsured portion of all estimated future claims on its existing guaranteed student loan portfolio. The allowance was eliminated with the reinsurance rate change to 100 percent. |
