Effective January 1, 2018, CoreCivic closed on the acquisition of Rocky Mountain Offender Management Systems, LLC, which provides non-residential correctional alternatives, including electronic monitoring and case management services, to municipal, county, and state governments in eight states. The aggregate purchase price was $7.0 million, excluding transaction-related expenses.

On January 19, 2018, CoreCivic acquired the 261,000 square-foot Capital Commerce Center, located in Tallahassee, Florida for a purchase price of $44.7 million, excluding transaction-related costs and certain closing credits. Capital Commerce Center is 98% leased, and 87% leased to the state of Florida on behalf of the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The acquisition was financed with a $24.5 million non-recourse mortgage note, which is fully-secured by the Capital Commerce Center property, with an interest rate of 4.5%, maturing in 2033, and cash from CoreCivic's $900.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility.

On January 24, 2018, CoreCivic entered into a 20-year lease agreement with the Kansas Department of Corrections for a 2,432-bed correctional facility the Company will construct in Lansing, Kansas. The new facility will replace the Lansing Correctional Facility, the State's largest correctional complex for adult male inmates, originally constructed in 1863. CoreCivic will be responsible for facility maintenance throughout the 20-year term of the lease, at which time ownership will revert to the State. Construction of the new facility is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2018 with a timeline for completion of approximately 24 months.

During February 2018, CoreCivic issued approximately 0.9 million RSUs to certain of CoreCivic's employees and non-employee directors, with an aggregate value of $19.8 million. Unless earlier vested under the terms of the RSU agreement, approximately 0.6 million RSUs were issued to officers and executive officers and are subject to vesting over a three-year period based upon satisfaction of certain annual performance criteria for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2018, 2019, and 2020. Approximately 0.3 million RSUs issued to other employees vest evenly on the first, second, and third anniversary of the award. Shares of RSUs issued to non-employee directors vest on the first anniversary of the award. Any RSUs that become vested will be settled in shares of CoreCivic's common stock.

On February 22, 2018, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.43 per common share payable April 16, 2018 to stockholders of record on April 2, 2018.
