Bank Credit Facility. On October 11, 2023, CoreCivic entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (referred to herein as the "Bank Credit Facility") in an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million, consisting of a $125.0 million term loan (the "Initial Term Loan") and a revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $275.0 million (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The Bank Credit Facility has a maturity of October 2028. On December 1, 2025, the Company amended its Bank Credit Facility to, among other things, increase the size of the accordion feature that provides for uncommitted incremental extensions of credit from the greater of $200.0 million or 50% of Consolidated EBITDA for the period of four fiscal quarters most recently ended to the greater of $300.0 million or 50% of Consolidated EBITDA for the period of four fiscal quarters most recently ended, and to exercise the accordion feature by expanding the capacity under its revolving credit facility from $275.0 million to $575.0 million. At CoreCivic's option, interest on outstanding borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility is based on either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 3.5% based upon the Company’s then-current total leverage ratio, or at Term SOFR (as defined in the Bank Credit Facility), which is a forward-looking term rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a margin ranging from 2.75% to 4.5% based on the Company’s then-current total leverage ratio. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $25.0 million sublimit for swing line loans that enables CoreCivic to borrow at the base rate plus the applicable margin from the Administrative Agent (as defined in the Bank Credit Facility) on same-day notice. On April 10, 2026, the Company further amended its Bank Credit Facility to, among other things, obtain an Incremental Term Loan in the amount of $100.0 million from existing lenders under the Bank Credit Facility. The Company used the net proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan to pay down a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Incremental Term Loan was scheduled to mature on April 9, 2027, and bore interest at an applicable margin that is 0.25% in excess of the applicable margin in effect for the Initial Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility. The Incremental Term Loan was prepayable without penalty. As further described in Note 11, the Company repaid the Incremental Term Loan in full during July 2026.

Based on the Company's total leverage ratio, as of June 30, 2026, interest on the Revolving Credit Facility and the Initial Term Loan under the Bank Credit Facility was at a base rate plus a margin of 2.0% or at the Term SOFR plus a margin of 3.0%, and a commitment fee equal to 0.40% of the unfunded balance of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility also has a $100.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit. As of June 30, 2026, CoreCivic had $280.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2026, CoreCivic had $21.7 million in letters of credit outstanding resulting in $273.3 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility. As further described in Note 11, the Company repaid the outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility in July 2026, which can be reborrowed at any time. The Initial Term Loan, which had an outstanding principal balance of $107.8 million as of June 30, 2026, requires scheduled quarterly principal payments through October 2028, and is pre-payable without penalty.

The Bank Credit Facility requires CoreCivic to meet certain financial covenants, including, without limitation, a total leverage ratio of not more than 4.50 to 1.00, a secured leverage ratio of not more than 2.50 to 1.00, and a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.75 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2026, CoreCivic was in compliance with all such covenants. The Bank Credit Facility is secured by a pledge of all of the capital stock (or other ownership interests) of CoreCivic's domestic restricted subsidiaries, 65% of the capital stock (or other ownership interests) of CoreCivic's "first-tier" foreign subsidiaries, all of the accounts receivable of the Company and its domestic restricted subsidiaries, and substantially all of the deposit accounts of the Company and its domestic restricted subsidiaries. In the event that (a) the consolidated total leverage equals or exceeds 4.25 to 1.00 or (b) the Company incurs certain debt above a specified threshold, each known as a "springing lien" event, certain intangible assets and unencumbered real estate assets that meet a 50% loan-to-value requirement are required to be added as collateral. In addition, the Bank Credit Facility contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, payment of dividends and other customary restricted payments, permitted investments, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, mergers and consolidations, liquidations, prepayments and modifications of other indebtedness, liens and other encumbrances and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements, and in each case subject to customary carveouts. The Bank Credit Facility is subject to cross-default provisions with respect to the terms of certain of CoreCivic's other material indebtedness and is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of a change of control.

Senior Notes. Interest on the $238.5 million remaining aggregate principal amount of CoreCivic's 4.75% senior unsecured notes issued in October 2017 with an original principal amount of $250.0 million (the "4.75% Senior Notes") accrues at the stated rate and is payable in April and October of each year. The 4.75% Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on October 15, 2027. During 2024 and 2023, the Company purchased $11.5 million principal amount of the 4.75% Senior Notes through open market purchases, reducing the outstanding balance of the 4.75% Senior Notes to $238.5 million. Interest on the aggregate principal amount of CoreCivic's 8.25% senior unsecured notes issued in March 2024 with a principal amount of $500.0 million (the "8.25% Senior Notes") accrues at the stated rate and is payable in April and October of each year. The 8.25% Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on April 15, 2029. The 4.75% Senior Notes and the 8.25% Senior Notes (collectively, the "Senior Notes") are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed by all of the Company's existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee the Bank Credit Facility.

The Company was permitted to redeem all or part of the 4.75% Senior Notes at any time prior to three months before their maturity date at a "make-whole" redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. As further described in Note 11, on July 13, 2026, the Company delivered an irrevocable notice to the holders of the 4.75% Senior Notes that it elected to redeem in full the 4.75% Senior Notes that remain outstanding on August 12, 2026.

At any time prior to April 15, 2026, the Company could have redeemed the 8.25% Senior Notes in whole or in part, at a "make-whole" redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. Thereafter, the 8.25% Senior Notes are redeemable at CoreCivic's option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price expressed as a percentage of the principal amount thereof, which percentage is currently 104.125%, and will be 102.063% beginning on April 15, 2027, and 100% beginning on April 15, 2028, plus, in each such case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

The indentures governing the Senior Notes contain certain customary covenants that, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, restrict CoreCivic's ability to, among other things, create or permit to exist certain liens and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of CoreCivic's assets. In addition, if CoreCivic experiences specific kinds of changes in control, CoreCivic must offer to repurchase all or any portion of the Senior Notes. The offer price for the Senior Notes in connection with a change in control would be 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the notes repurchased to the date of purchase. The indenture related to the 8.25% Senior Notes additionally limits CoreCivic's ability to incur indebtedness, make restricted payments and investments and prepay certain indebtedness. The Senior Notes are also subject to cross-default provisions with certain of CoreCivic's other indebtedness, which includes the Bank Credit Facility.

Lansing Correctional Facility Non-Recourse Mortgage Note. On April 20, 2018, CoreCivic of Kansas, LLC (the "Issuer"), a wholly-owned unrestricted subsidiary of the Company, priced $159.5 million in aggregate principal amount of non-recourse senior secured notes of the Issuer (the "Kansas Notes"), in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Kansas Notes have a yield to maturity of 4.43% and are scheduled to mature in January 2040, 20 years following completion of the project, which occurred in January 2020. Principal and interest on the Kansas Notes are payable in quarterly payments, which began in July 2020 and continue until maturity. CoreCivic may redeem all or part of the Kansas Notes at any time upon written notice of not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment, with a "make-whole" amount, together with interest on the Kansas Notes accrued to, but not including, the redemption date. Because the Issuer has been designated as an unrestricted subsidiary of the Company under terms of the Bank Credit Facility, the issuance and service of the Kansas Notes, and the revenues and expenses associated with the facility lease, do not impact the financial covenants associated with the Bank Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2026, the outstanding balance of the Kansas Notes was $131.2 million.

Debt Maturities. Scheduled principal payments as of June 30, 2026 for the remainder of 2026, the next five years, and thereafter were as follows (in thousands):
