On April 17, 2018, CoreCivic entered into the New Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.0 billion, replacing the $900.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan. The New Credit Agreement provides for a term loan of $200.0 million and a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $800.0 million. The New Credit Agreement, among other things, extends the maturity from July 2020 to April 2023, and increases the total leverage covenant from 5.0x to 5.5x. The New Credit Agreement also contains an "accordion" feature that provides for uncommitted incremental extensions of credit in the form of increases in the revolving commitments or incremental term loans of up to $350.0 million, as requested by CoreCivic, and provides additional flexibility by increasing certain permitted investment, disposition, and borrowing thresholds. Interest rate margins, unused facility fees, and commitment fees for letters of credit remain the same under the New Credit Agreement, except for the addition of a new interest rate margin and fee tier to accommodate the increase in the covenant for total leverage from 5.0x to 5.5x. All other terms remain substantially the same. In the second quarter of 2018, CoreCivic expects to capitalize approximately $2.1 million of new costs associated with the New Credit Agreement. CoreCivic also expects to report a charge of approximately $1.0 million during the second quarter of 2018 for the write-off of a portion of the existing loan costs and other costs associated with the New Credit Agreement.

On April 20, 2018, CoreCivic of Kansas, LLC (the "Issuer"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, priced $159.5 million in aggregate principal amount of non-recourse senior secured notes of the Issuer (the "Notes"), in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company will use the proceeds of the private placement, which will be drawn on quarterly funding dates beginning in the second quarter of 2018, to fund construction of the new Lansing Correctional Facility, along with costs and expenses of the project. The Notes will have a yield to maturity of 4.43% and will be scheduled to mature approximately 20 years following completion of the project, expected to occur during the first quarter of 2020. The private placement is expected to close during the second quarter of 2018. CoreCivic expects to capitalize approximately $3.5 million of costs associated with the private placement.

Because the Issuer has been designated as an unrestricted subsidiary of the Company under terms of the Company's New Credit Agreement, the issuance and service of the Notes, and the revenues and expenses associated with the facility lease, will not impact the financial covenants associated with the Company's New Credit Agreement.
