The service cost and other components of net periodic benefit cost are included in General and Administrative Expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The long-term portion of the pension liability as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $26.9 million and $26.2 million, respectively, and is included in Other Non-Current Liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Amended and Restated Executive Retirement Agreement The Company has a non-qualified deferred compensation agreement with its Executive Chairman. The agreement provides for a lump sum cash payment upon retirement, no sooner than age 55. As of September 30, 2025, the Executive Chairman had reached age 55 and was eligible to receive the payment upon retirement. On May 27, 2021, the Company and its Executive Chairman entered into an Amended and Restated Executive Retirement Agreement which replaced the former CEO’s previous agreement, effective July 1, 2021. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Executive Retirement Agreement, upon the date that the Executive Chairman ceases to provide services to the Company, the Company will pay to the Executive Chairman an amount equal to $3.6 million which shall be paid in cash. The payment shall be credited with interest at a rate of 5% compounded quarterly. Additionally, at the end of each calendar year provided that the Executive Chairman is still providing services to GEO pursuant to the Executive Chairman Agreement, GEO will credit an amount equal to $1.0 million at the end of each calendar year (the “Employment Contributions Account”). The Employment Contributions Account will be credited with interest at the rate of 5% compounded quarterly. The balance of the Amended and Restated Executive Retirement Agreement was approximately $14.6 million at September 30, 2025 and is included in Other Non-Current Liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company has established several trusts for the purpose of paying the retirement benefit pursuant to the Amended and Restated Executive Retirement Agreement. The trusts are revocable “rabbi trusts” and the assets of the trusts are subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors in the event of the Company’s insolvency.
