Nelnet, Inc. filed an 8-K on January 15, 2026 (Item 5.02) announcing that Tim Tewes, President of Nelnet, Inc. and Chief Executive Officer of Nelnet Business Services, Inc., notified the company of his intention to retire effective June 30, 2026. The company furnished a press release dated January 15, 2026 announcing his planned retirement.

Key Details

• Tim Tewes notified the company on January 15, 2026 that he will retire effective June 30, 2026.
• Mr. Tewes currently serves as President of Nelnet, Inc. and CEO of Nelnet Business Services, Inc.
• After retiring from the company, Mr. Tewes will continue to serve on the Nelnet Bank Board of Directors.
• The 8-K furnishes a press release (Exhibit 99.1) announcing the planned retirement.

Why It Matters
This is a leadership change at the company level that investors should note: it signals a planned, non-immediate transition rather than an abrupt departure. The filing does not include financial results, replacement plans, or other material operational changes, and Mr. Tewes’ continued role on the Nelnet Bank board may help preserve continuity for that business line. Investors may watch for subsequent communications from Nelnet about succession plans or any changes to management responsibilities.
