8, 2013, the Board of Directors of Corrections Corporation of America, a Maryland corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;) declared a Special Dividend (the &#147;Special Dividend&#148;) of $675 million, or approximately $6.63 per share of common stock
based on the number of shares currently outstanding, in connection with the Company&#146;s previously announced plan to qualify as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes effective as of January 1, 2013. The Special Dividend
will be paid in satisfaction of requirements that the Company distribute its previously undistributed accumulated earnings and profits attributable to tax periods ending prior to January 1, 2013. The Company expects to pay the Special Dividend on
May 20, 2013 to stockholders of record as of April 19, 2013. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Stockholders will have the option to elect to receive the
Special Dividend in cash or shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, with the total amount of cash payable to stockholders limited to a maximum of 20% of the total value of the Special Dividend, or $135 million. If
the total amount of cash elected by stockholders exceeds 20% of the total value of the Special Dividend, the available cash will be prorated among those stockholders who elect to receive cash, and the remaining portion of the Special Dividend will
be paid in shares of the Company&#146;s common stock. If the Company&#146;s common stock is elected, cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares so that stockholders will receive whole numbers of shares of common stock. Stockholders who do not
make a timely election will be deemed to have made an election to receive payment of the Special Dividend in shares of the Company&#146;s common stock. The total number of shares of the Company&#146;s common stock to be distributed pursuant to the
Special Dividend will be determined based on stockholder elections and the average closing price per share of the Company&#146;s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the three trading days after May 9, 2013, the date that election forms
are due. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A copy of the Company&#146;s press release announcing the Special Dividend is attached hereto as <U>Exhibit 99.1</U>

and CCA common stock, with the total amount of cash payable to shareholders limited to a maximum of 20% of the total value of the special dividend, or $135 million. If the total amount of cash elected by shareholders exceeds 20% of the total value
of the special dividend, the available cash will be prorated among those shareholders who elect to receive cash, and the remaining portion of the special dividend will be paid in shares of CCA common stock. Shareholders who do not make a timely
election will be deemed to have made an election to receive payment of the special dividend in shares of CCA common stock. The total number of shares of CCA common stock to be distributed pursuant to the special dividend will be determined based on
shareholder elections and the average closing price per share of CCA common stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the three trading days after May 9, 2013, the date that election forms are due. Election forms and materials will be mailed to
registered shareholders promptly after the record date. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>About CCA </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
