SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On October 11, 2023, CoreCivic entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("the New Bank Credit Facility") that, among other things, increased the available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility from $250.0 million to $275.0 million and increased the size of the Term Loan A from an initial balance of $100.0 million to $125.0 million, extended the maturity date to October 11, 2028 and made conforming changes to replace the BSBY index with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Financial covenants were modified to remove the $100.0 million limit of netting unrestricted cash and cash equivalents when calculating the consolidated total leverage ratio and the consolidated secured leverage ratio. Further, the consolidated total leverage ratio resulting in a "springing lien" event was increased from 4.00 to 1.00 to 4.25 to 1.00. At the closing of the New Bank Credit Facility, CoreCivic received approximately $33.8 million of net borrowings before transaction costs as a result of the increased size of the Term Loan A, and the Revolving Credit Facility remains undrawn, except for $17.4 million in outstanding letters of credit.
