Following the addition of the Risk Committee, the Company’s five standing Board committees include the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Executive Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee, and the Risk Committee.

The Risk Committee will assist the Board in coordinating the Board’s oversight of the Company’s risk assessment and risk management practices and the Company’s legal, regulatory and contract compliance. The Risk Committee will also review issues and trends facing the Company that could impact the Company’s business operations and public reputation. The initial members of the Risk Committee will be Thurgood Marshall, Jr. (Chair), Donna Alvarado, Anne Mariucci and Charles Overby.

The charters for each of the five standing Board committees are available on the Company’s website at: http://www.cca.com/investors/corporate-governance.
