On February 15, 2010, James H. Van Horn notified Nelnet, Inc. (the "Company") that, in order to avoid potential conflicts of interest between he and the Company that could result from pursuit of his business interests, he did not intend to stand for re-election as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in May 2010.  Upon further discussion, and in order to allow the Company the ability to evaluate potential replacement candidates and the overall needs of its Board, Mr. Van Horn submitted his resignation from the Board effectively immediately. Mr. Van Horn did not have any disagreement with the Company's management relating to the Company’s business operations, policies, or practices.
