<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On August&nbsp;12, 2010, The GEO Group, Inc. (&#147;GEO&#148;) completed its previously announced
acquisition of Cornell Companies, Inc. (&#147;Cornell&#148;), a Delaware corporation, pursuant to an
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April&nbsp;18, 2010 as amended on July&nbsp;22, 2010 (the &#147;Merger
Agreement&#148;), by and among GEO, GEO Acquisition III, Inc., a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of GEO
(&#147;Merger Sub&#148;), and Cornell. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and
into Cornell (the &#147;Merger&#148;), with Cornell being the surviving corporation of the Merger.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a result of the Merger, for each share of Cornell common stock, Cornell stockholders had
the option to elect to receive: (i)&nbsp;1.3 shares of common stock of GEO, par value $.01 per share,
for each share of Cornell common stock; or (ii)&nbsp;the right to receive cash consideration equal to
the greater of (x)&nbsp;the fair market value, as defined in the Merger Agreement, of one share of GEO
common stock plus $6.00 or (y)&nbsp;the fair market value, as defined in the Merger Agreement, of 1.3
shares of GEO common stock. The fair market value of GEO common stock for determining the cash
consideration to be received in the merger for each share of Cornell common stock is $21.58, which
was calculated based upon the average closing price of GEO common stock on the ten trading days
between July&nbsp;15, 2010 and July&nbsp;28, 2010. Therefore, the cash consideration is $28.054 for each
share of Cornell common stock. In order to preserve the tax-deferred treatment of the transaction,
no more than 20% of the outstanding shares of Cornell common stock may be exchanged for the cash
consideration. If cash elections are made with respect to more than 20% of Cornell&#146;s shares, the
excess is treated as a stock election and will be exchanged for shares of GEO common stock.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The total purchase price payable to Cornell stockholders is: (i)&nbsp;approximately 15.8&nbsp;million
shares of GEO common stock; and (ii)&nbsp;approximately $85&nbsp;million in cash. Additionally, GEO assumed
approximately $112&nbsp;million in Cornell debt and repaid
approximately $175.4&nbsp;million in Cornell debt. GEO financed the
cash consideration, the assumption of
Cornell debt and the repayment of Cornell debt through borrowings under the Term Loan A, Term Loan B and Revolving Credit
Facility components of the new credit agreement by and among GEO, as Borrower, BNP Paribas, as
Administrative Agent, and the lenders who are, or may from time to time become, a party thereto and
cash on hand.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and Merger is not complete and is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was attached as Exhibit&nbsp;2.1 to
Cornell&#146;s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;)
on April&nbsp;19, 2010 as amended by the amendment which was attached as Exhibit&nbsp;2.1 to Cornell&#146;s
Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July&nbsp;22, 2010, and is incorporated herein by
reference.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In connection with the completion of the Merger, Cornell has notified the New York Stock
Exchange (the &#147;NYSE&#148;) that each outstanding share of Cornell common stock was converted in the
Merger into the right to receive GEO common stock or cash consideration as described above under
Item&nbsp;2.01 and has requested that the NYSE file a notification of removal from listing on Form&nbsp;25
with the SEC with respect to Cornell common stock. The NYSE filed the Form&nbsp;25 with the SEC on
August&nbsp;13, 2010. Trading of Cornell&#146;s common stock on the NYSE was suspended before the opening of
trading on August&nbsp;13, 2010.

subject to the limitation discussed under Item&nbsp;2.01 above that no more than 20% of the outstanding
shares of Cornell common stock may be exchanged for the cash consideration, of either: (i)&nbsp;1.3
shares of common stock of GEO, par value $.01 per share, for each share of Cornell common stock; or
(ii)&nbsp;the right to receive cash consideration equal to the greater of (x)&nbsp;the fair market value, as

each share of Cornell common stock is $21.58, which was calculated based upon the average closing

Therefore, the cash consideration is $28.054 for each share of Cornell common stock.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At the effective time of the merger, each outstanding option issued by Cornell to purchase
shares of Cornell common stock granted under any stock option or other equity incentive plan, which
is outstanding and unexercised immediately following the effective time and which does not, by its
terms, terminate on the effective time, whether vested or unvested, which is referred to as a
Cornell option, will vest and be assumed by GEO, and these options will entitle the holder to receive GEO
common stock as adjusted to account for the exchange ratio. At the effective time of the merger,
each outstanding share of Cornell restricted stock will vest and be automatically converted into
GEO common stock as adjusted to account for the exchange ratio.
