Declaration Date |  | Record Date |  | Payable Date |  | Per Share |
February 21, 2019 |  | April 1, 2019 |  | April 15, 2019 |  | $ | 0.44 |

February 20, 2020 |  | April 1, 2020 |  | April 15, 2020 |  | $ | 0.44 |
Future dividends will depend on CoreCivic's distribution requirements as a REIT, future cash flows and earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, limitations under debt covenants, opportunities for alternative uses of capital, and on such other factors as the BOD of CoreCivic may consider relevant. As further discussed in Note 1, the Company announced on June 17, 2020 that the BOD suspended the Company's quarterly dividend while it evaluated corporate structure and capital allocation alternatives. On August 5, 2020, the BOD voted unanimously to approve a plan to revoke the Company’s REIT election and become a taxable C Corporation, effective January 1, 2021; the BOD also voted unanimously to discontinue the quarterly dividend and prioritize allocating the Company's free cash flow to reduce debt levels. Stock Options Since 2012, CoreCivic has elected not to issue stock options to its non-employee directors, officers, and executive officers as it had in prior years, and instead elected to issue all of its equity compensation in the form of restricted common stock units ("RSUs"), as described hereafter. All outstanding stock options were fully vested as of December 31, 2016. As of June 30, 2020, options to purchase 0.5 million shares of common stock were outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $22.13 per share. Restricted Stock Units During the first six months of 2020, CoreCivic issued approximately 1.2 million RSUs to certain of its employees and non-employee directors, with an aggregate value of $20.8 million, including 1.1 million RSUs to employees and non-employee directors whose compensation is charged to general and administrative expense and 0.1 million RSUs to employees whose compensation is charged to operating expense. During 2019, CoreCivic issued approximately 0.9 million RSUs to certain of its employees and non-employee directors, with an aggregate value of $20.1 million, including 0.8 million RSUs to employees and non-employee directors whose compensation is charged to general and administrative expense and 0.1 million RSUs to employees whose compensation is charged to operating expense. Since 2015, CoreCivic has established performance-based vesting conditions on the RSUs awarded to its officers and executive officers that, unless earlier vested under the terms of the agreements, were subject to vesting over a three-year period based upon the satisfaction of certain annual performance criteria, and no more than one-third of the RSUs could vest in any one performance period. The RSUs awarded to officers and executive officers in 2019 and 2020 consist of a combination of awards with performance-based conditions and time-based conditions. Unless earlier vested under the terms of the RSU agreements, the RSUs with time-based vesting conditions vest evenly generally on the first, second, and third anniversary of the award. The RSUs with performance-based vesting conditions are divided into one-third increments, each of which is subject to vesting based upon satisfaction of certain annual performance criteria established at the beginning of the fiscal years ending December 31, 2019, 2020, and 2021 for the 2019 awards, and December 31, 2020, 2021, and 2022 for the 2020 awards, and which can be increased by up to 150% or decreased to 0% based on performance relative to the annual performance criteria, and further increased or decreased using a modifier of 80% to 120% based on CoreCivic's total shareholder return relative to a peer group. Because the performance criteria for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2021 and 2022 have not yet been established, the values of the third RSU increment of the 2019 awards and of the second and third increments of the 2020 awards for financial reporting purposes will not be determined until such criteria are established. Time-based RSUs issued to other employees, unless earlier vested under the terms of the agreements, generally vest equally on the first, second, and third anniversary of the award. RSUs issued to non-employee directors vest one year from the date of award. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, CoreCivic expensed $4.3 million, net of forfeitures, relating to RSUs ($0.4 million of which was recorded in operating expenses and $3.9 million of which was recorded in general and administrative expenses). During the three months ended June 30, 2019, CoreCivic expensed $4.3 million, net of forfeitures, relating to RSUs ($0.5 million of which was recorded in operating expenses and $3.8 million of which was recorded in general and administrative expenses). During the six months ended June 30, 2020, CoreCivic expensed $8.9 million, net of forfeitures, relating to RSUs ($0.9 million of which was recorded in operating expenses and $8.0 million of which was recorded in general and administrative expenses). During the six months ended June 30, 2019, CoreCivic expensed $8.1 million, net of forfeitures, relating to RSUs ($1.0 million of which was recorded in operating expenses and $7.1 million of which was recorded in general and administrative expenses). As of June 30, 2020, approximately 2.0 million RSUs remained outstanding and subject to vesting.
