Senior Notes Offering On April 18, 2024, GEO announced the closing of its previously announced private offering of $1.275 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes (the “Senior Notes Offering”), comprised of $650.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior secured notes due 2029 (the “Secured Notes”), issued under the Indenture, dated as of April 18, 2024 (the “2029 Indenture”), among GEO, the Guarantors (defined below) and Ankura Trust Company, LLC, as trustee and collateral agent (the “Trustee and Collateral Agent”) and $625.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.25% senior notes due 2031 (the “Unsecured Notes” and, together with the Secured Notes, the “Notes”), issued under the Indenture, dated as of April 18, 2024 (the “2031 Indenture” and, together with the 2029 Indenture, the “Indentures”), among GEO, the Guarantors and Ankura Trust Company, LLC as Trustee. The Notes are guaranteed (the “Secured Note Guarantees” and the “Unsecured Note Guarantees” and collectively, the “Guarantees”) by GEO’s domestic subsidiaries that are guarantors under a new senior secured credit facility and outstanding senior notes (the “Guarantors”). GEO used the net proceeds of the Senior Notes Offering, borrowings under the new Term Loan (defined below), and cash on hand to refinance approximately $1.5 billion of existing indebtedness, including to fund the repurchase, redemption or other discharge of the Company’s existing Tranche 1 Term Loan and Tranche 2 Term Loan under its prior senior credit facility, the 9.500% Private Second Lien Notes due 2028, the 10.500% Public Second Lien Notes due 2028, and the 6.00% Senior Notes due 2026, to pay related premiums, transaction fees and expenses, and for general corporate purposes of the Company. The Notes were offered and sold in the United States only to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States only to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. As discussed below, GEO filed a registration statement on Form S-4 and conducted a registered exchange offer under the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement to issue and deliver in exchange for the Notes and Guarantees that were issued on April 18, 2024 an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes and Guarantees that were registered pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-4.

The Secured Notes accrue interest at a rate of 8.625% per year. Interest on the Secured Notes is payable semi-annually on each April 15 and October 15, commencing October 15, 2024. Issue Price. The Secured Notes were issued at par. Guarantees. The Secured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Initial Guarantors (as defined in the 2029 Indenture) and may be guaranteed by additional s ubsidiaries of the Company when a subsidiary guarantees debt under the credit facilities (other than debt securities) and debt securities in an aggregate principal amount of at least $100.0 million. Ranking. The Secured Notes and the Secured Note Guarantees are GEO and the Guarantors’ respective senior, secured obligations, and the indebtedness evidenced by the Secured Notes and the Secured Note Guarantees will rank equal in right of payment to all of GEO’s and the Guarantors’ other existing and future senior obligations, including the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and the guarantees thereof; effectively senior in right of payment to all of GEO’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future unsecured indebtedness, including the Unsecured Notes, the 2026 Exchangeable Senior Notes and, in each case, the guarantees thereof, to the extent of the value of the Collateral (as defined below); senior in right of payment to any of GEO’s and the Guarantors’ future subordinated indebtedness; effectively junior in right of payment to any of GEO’s and the Guarantors’ future secured indebtedness that is secured by a lien on any assets not constituting Collateral, to the extent of the value of such assets; and structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of Subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Secured Notes and joint ventures, including trade payables. Security. The Secured Notes and the Secured Note Guarantees are secured on a first-priority basis by the same collateral (the “Collateral”) that secures the obligations under the Credit Agreement in accordance with the terms of the 2029 Indenture and security agreements relating to the Collateral and instruments filed and recorded in appropriate jurisdictions to preserve and protect the liens on the Collateral (including, without limitation, mortgages, deeds of trust or deed to secure debt and financing statements under the Uniform Commercial Code of the relevant states applicable to the Collateral), each for the benefit of the Trustee, Collateral Agent and the holders of the Secured Notes.

Voluntary prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans may be made by the Credit Facility Borrowers at any time without premium or penalty (subject to reimbursement for customary breakage expenses). Voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans and any prepayments of Term Loans required in connection with any acceleration of the maturity thereof (or in connection with a foreclosure or other disposition of or realization upon any Collateral or other satisfaction or compromise of any obligations thereunder in any insolvency or other similar proceeding) will require payment of a premium equal to (i) 2.00% of the principal amount prepaid or required to be prepaid if made prior to the first anniversary of the effective date of the Term Loan Facility and (ii) 1.00% of the principal amount prepaid or required to be prepaid if made on or after the first anniversary of the effective date of the Term Loan Facility but prior to the second anniversary of the effective date of the Term Loan Facility.

The Term Loans will mature on the earliest of (i) April 15, 2029 and (ii) in the event that an aggregate principal amount equal to or greater than $100,000,000 of any series or class of Senior Notes remains outstanding on the Senior Notes Springing Maturity Date, such Senior Notes Springing Maturity Date, unless the Maturity Reserve Condition is satisfied with respect to such Senior Notes (such earliest date, the “Term Loan Maturity Date”).

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) is subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $110.0 million in borrowings under its revolver, and approximately $62.9 million in letters of credit which left approximately $137.1 million in additional borrowing capacity under the revolver. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2024 was 9.17%. Loss on Extinguishment of Debt and Debt Issuance Fees In connection with the above transactions, as well as mandatory quarterly payments on its Term Loan, the Company incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $86.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 which consisted of the write-off of existing deferred financing costs and net discount/premiums and the payment of call premiums. In addition, the Company incurred a total of approximately $35.6 million of debt issuance fees which were allocated to the new Secured Notes, new Unsecured Notes and the new Credit Agreement based on their relative fair values on the date of issuance. These debt issuance fees are being amortized into interest expense over the terms of the respective agreements using the effective interest method. 6.50% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2026 On February 24, 2021, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, GEOCH, completed a private offering of $230 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes were scheduled to mature on February 23, 2026, unless earlier repurchased or exchanged. The Convertible Notes bore interest at the rate of 6.50% per year plus an additional amount based on the dividends paid by the Company on its common stock, $0.01 par value per share. Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2021. Subject to certain restrictions on share ownership and transfer, holders were able to exchange the Convertible Notes at their option prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding November 25, 2025, but only under the following circumstances: (1) during the five consecutive business day period after any five consecutive trading day period, or the measurement period, in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes for each trading day of such measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the exchange rate for the Convertible Notes on each such trading day; or (2) upon the occurrence of certain specified corporate events. On or after November 25, 2025, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the Convertible Notes, holders were able to exchange their Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon exchange of a Convertible Note, GEO would pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. Upon conversion, the Company would pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash or a combination of cash and shares of common stock. The initial conversion rate was 108.4011 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $9.225 per share of common stock). The conversion rate was subject to adjustment in certain events. If the Company or GEOCH had undergone a fundamental change, holders could have required GEOCH to purchase the Convertible Notes in whole or in part for cash at a fundamental change purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date. During 2024, the Company retired $229.9 million in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6.50% Exchangeable Senior Notes as a result of private exchange transactions with an exchange value of approximately $415 million. The consideration consisted of cash of $229.9 million, using a combination of the net proceeds from the Senior Notes Offering and cash on hand, and approximately 12.4 million shares of GEO common stock. Of the total amount of shares issued, the Company issued 4,209,847 shares that were in treasury. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company entered into the last repurchase transaction that resulted in the retirement of the remaining principal balance. Other In August of 2019, the Company entered into two identical Notes in the aggregate amount of $44.3 million which are secured by loan agreements and mortgage and security agreements on certain real property and improvements. The terms of the Notes are through September 1, 2034 and bear interest at SOFR plus 205 basis points and are payable in monthly installments plus interest. The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate to 4.22%. Included in the balance at December 31, 2024 is $0.5 million of deferred loan costs incurred in the transaction. Refer to Note 6 - Derivative Financial Instruments for further information. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under all of our outstanding debt balances as of December 31, 2024 was 9.24%.
