Credit Agreement

On July 14, 2025, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) which amended its Credit Agreement dated as of April 18, 2024. The First Amendment increases the Company's Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolver”) commitments from $310 million to $450 million and extends the Revolver’s maturity from April 15, 2029 to July 14, 2030. The First Amendment also lowered the applicable interest rates based on the total leverage ratio for loans using the Alternate Base Rate and loans using the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) by 0.50%. Currently, revolving credit loans accruing interest at a SOFR based rate would accrue interest at the term SOFR reference rate for the applicable interest period plus 2.75% per annum, which is lower by 0.50% from the applicable rate prior to the First Amendment. The First Amendment also increases the Company's capacity to make restricted payments over the next five years and makes certain additional modifications to the Credit Agreement. Prior to the closing of the First Amendment, GEO repaid $132 million of the Term Loan B outstanding under the Credit

Agreement. Subsequently, as a result of an asset sale of one of the Company's owned facilities, the Company repaid the remaining balance of the Term Loans under the Credit Agreement.

On November 13, 2025, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), by and among each of GEO and GEO Corrections Holdings, Inc., as the Borrowers, the guarantors named therein, Citizens Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Second Amendment effectively removes the 3.00 to 1.00 total leverage ratio hurdle from one-half of the $150.0 million general carve-out to the Credit Agreement’s restricted payments negative covenant.

On January 20, 2026, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”), by and among each of GEO and GEO Corrections Holdings, Inc., as the Borrowers, the other loan parties named therein, Citizens Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Third Amendment increased the revolving credit facility commitments from $450 million to $550 million. The Third Amendment decreased the Incremental Amount (as defined in the Third Amendment) from $250 million to $150 million that the Company may request in the future in additional term loans, incremental equivalent debt or an increase to the revolving credit facility commitments, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions in the Third Amendment and the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and negative covenants, including restrictions on the ability of GEO and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) create, incur or assume any indebtedness, (ii) create, incur, assume or permit liens, (iii) make loans and investments, (iv) engage in mergers, acquisitions and asset sales, (v) make certain restricted payments, (vi) engage in transactions with affiliates, (vii) cancel, forgive, make any voluntary or optional payment or prepayment on, or redeem or acquire for value any subordinated indebtedness, except as permitted under applicable subordination terms, (viii) engage in other businesses, except as permitted, and (ix) materially impair the security interests securing the obligations under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains certain financial covenants, including a maximum total leverage ratio covenant, a maximum first lien leverage ratio covenant and a minimum interest coverage ratio covenant. In addition, the Credit Agreement restricts GEO from electing to be taxed as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code. The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary events of default.

The Credit Facility guarantors will guarantee the obligations in respect of the commitments and loans under the Credit Agreement. The obligations of the Credit Facility Borrowers and the Credit Facility guarantors in respect of the Credit Agreement will be secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of their assets, including real property interests with respect to which the Credit Agreement requires the execution and delivery of a mortgage. The rights of the holders of the Secured Notes in the Collateral (including the right to exercise remedies) are subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $248.9 million in borrowings under its revolver, and approximately $56.9 million in letters of credit which left approximately $244.1 million in additional borrowing capacity under the revolver. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2026 was 6.20%.
