On January 2, 2020, CoreCivic completed the acquisition of a portfolio of 28 properties, 24 of which the counter-party contributed to Government Real Estate Solutions, LLC ("GRES"), an unrestricted subsidiary controlled by the Company, for total consideration of $83.2 million, excluding transaction-related expenses. All of the properties were leased to the federal government through the General Services Administration ("GSA"), an independent agency of the United States Government. CoreCivic financed the acquisition with $7.7 million of cash, assumed debt of $52.2 million, and the balance with the issuance of 1.3 million shares of Class A Common Interests in GRES that are convertible into cash or, at the Company's option, shares of the Company's common stock following a two-year holding period on a one-for-one basis (the "Operating Partnership Units"), using a partnership structure. In allocating the purchase price of the acquisition, CoreCivic recorded $77.4 million of net tangible assets, $7.5 million of identifiable intangible assets, and $4.9 million of tenant improvements.

On December 23, 2020, CoreCivic completed the sale of 42 government-leased properties, including the portfolio of 28 properties acquired in 2020 and the remaining properties acquired in 2017 and 2018, in a single transaction to a third party for an aggregate price of $106.5 million, generating net proceeds of $27.8 million after the repayment of the debt related to GRES, and other transaction-related costs. Net cash proceeds were used to pay-down a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility. In accordance with a Tax Protection Agreement, the Company agreed to provide certain tax protection payments to the contributing partners of GRES, limited to the cash and certain other resources held by GRES. After recognizing the tax protection payments in connection with this sale, the Company reported a net loss on sale of $17.9 million.

CoreCivic determined that its joint venture investment in GRES represents a variable interest entity ("VIE") in accordance with ASC 810, "Consolidation". CoreCivic has 100% voting control in GRES. Accordingly, CoreCivic concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of GRES and consolidates the VIE. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. Our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 includes property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, of $6.3 million related to GRES. During June 2021, CoreCivic provided notice to the partners of GRES of its intent to distribute the remaining assets and dissolve the partnership. CoreCivic currently expects GRES to be terminated during the third quarter of 2021, and to extinguish the Operating Partnership Units for no consideration, which will result in an increase to equity upon termination of the partnership of $15.0 million to $20.0 million.

On May 28, 2021, CoreCivic completed the sale of two leased properties, the Capital Commerce Center, primarily leased to an agency of the State of Florida in Tallahassee, Florida, and a warehouse property leased to the GSA in Dayton, Ohio, in a single transaction to a third party for an aggregate price of $73.0 million, generating net proceeds of $46.2 million after the repayment of the debt related to the Capital Commerce Center and other transaction-related costs. In addition, on June 29, 2021, the Company completed the sale of a property leased to the GSA in Baltimore, Maryland to a third party for a price of $253.0 million, generating net proceeds of $76.4 million after the repayment of the debt related to the Baltimore property and other transaction-related costs. After repayment of the non-recourse mortgage notes, remaining net cash proceeds from the sale of these three leased properties, which were previously classified as held for sale, were used to pay-down a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility. The Company recognized a total net gain on the sales of these three properties in the second quarter of 2021 of $38.9 million. Further, during the second quarter of 2021, the Company completed the sales of two additional idle properties, as further described hereafter.

As of June 30, 2021, CoreCivic had five idled CoreCivic Safety correctional facilities that are currently available and being actively marketed as solutions to meet the needs of potential customers. The following table summarizes each of the idled facilities and their respective carrying values, excluding equipment and other assets that could generally be transferred and used at other facilities CoreCivic owns without significant cost (dollars in thousands):

			Net Carrying Values
	Design		June 30,		December 31,
Facility	Capacity		2021		2020
Prairie Correctional Facility		1,600	$	14,231	$	14,646
Huerfano County Correctional Center		752		15,565		15,895
Diamondback Correctional Facility		2,160		37,492		38,346
Marion Adjustment Center		826		10,957		11,047
Kit Carson Correctional Center		1,488		51,860		52,757
		6,826	$	130,105	$	132,691

As of June 30, 2021, CoreCivic also had one idled non-core facility in its Safety segment containing 240 beds with a net book value of $3.0 million; four facilities in its Community segment, containing an aggregate of 740 beds with an aggregate net book value of $13.6 million; and one previously leased property in its Properties segment, containing 37,000 square feet with a net book value of $6.3 million.

CoreCivic incurred approximately $2.0 million and $1.9 million in operating expenses at all of these idled facilities for the period they were idle during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. CoreCivic incurred approximately $4.1 million and $3.7 million in operating expenses at all of these idled facilities for the period they were idle during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Two of the four idled facilities in the CoreCivic Community segment are located in Oklahoma. As a result of the lower resident populations from the state of Oklahoma because of COVID-19, CoreCivic transferred the remaining resident populations at its 390-bed Tulsa Transitional Center to Oklahoma's system, idling the Tulsa facility during the third quarter of 2020. Closure of the Tulsa facility followed the closure of the 200-bed Oklahoma City Transitional Center during the second quarter of 2020, and the 289-bed Turley Residential Center in Oklahoma in 2019. CoreCivic reactivated the Turley Residential Center during the first quarter of 2021 pursuant to a new contract awarded from the United States Federal Bureau of Prisons ("BOP") during the fourth quarter of 2020 for residential reentry and home confinement services to be provided in the state of Oklahoma, and provides the BOP additional reentry services at its owned and operated Oklahoma Reentry Opportunity Center, which supplements the existing utilization by the state of Oklahoma, pursuant to this new contract. During April 2021, as a result of lower resident populations from Denver County because of COVID-19, CoreCivic transferred the resident populations at its 90-bed Ulster Facility in Colorado to its Dahlia Facility in Colorado, idling the Ulster Facility. The fourth idle facility in the Community segment, the 60-bed Columbine Facility located in Colorado, was idled in the second quarter of 2020.

On May 24, 2021, CoreCivic completed the sale of an idled 12,000 square foot non-core property located in St. Louis, Missouri, with a net book value of $0.8 million at the time of the sale, for net proceeds of $0.6 million, resulting in a net loss on sale of $0.2 million. In addition, on June 25, 2021, CoreCivic completed the sale of an idled 18,000 square foot non-core property, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for a price of $2.0 million, generating net proceeds of $1.8 million. The carrying value of the Philadelphia property of $1.8 million was classified as held for sale at March 31, 2021. Pursuant to an agreement to sell the Philadelphia property, in the first quarter of 2021, CoreCivic recognized an impairment charge of $1.3 million associated with this facility, based on its estimated net realizable value less costs to sell. Both the St. Louis and Philadelphia properties were formerly leased to third party lessees in the CoreCivic Properties segment.

CoreCivic evaluates on a quarterly basis market developments for the potential utilization of each of these properties in order to identify events that may cause CoreCivic to reconsider its most recent assumptions, such as the agreement to sell a property at less than its carrying value. CoreCivic considers the cancellation of a contract in its Safety or Community segment or an expiration and non-renewal of a lease agreement in its CoreCivic Properties segment as indicators of impairment, and tested each of the idled properties for impairment when it was notified by the respective customers or tenants that they would no longer be utilizing such property.
