Revolving Credit Facility. On April 17, 2018, CoreCivic entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (referred to herein as the "Bank Credit Facility") in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.0 billion. The Bank Credit Facility provides for a term loan of $200.0 million (the "Term Loan A") and a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $800.0 million (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The Bank Credit Facility has a maturity of April 2023. The Bank Credit Facility 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. At CoreCivic's option, interest on outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 1.00% or at the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 2.00% based on CoreCivic's then-current leverage ratio. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $30.0 million sublimit for swing line loans that enables CoreCivic to borrow at the base rate from the Administrative Agent on same-day notice.

Based on CoreCivic's total leverage ratio, loans under the Revolving Credit Facility currently bear interest at the base rate plus a margin of 0.50% or at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.25%, and a commitment fee equal to 0.35% of the unfunded balance. The Revolving Credit Facility also has a $50.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit. As of December 31, 2021, CoreCivic had no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and had $13.9 million in letters of credit outstanding, resulting in $786.1 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Bank Credit Facility is secured by a pledge of all of the capital stock of CoreCivic's domestic restricted subsidiaries, 65% of the capital stock of CoreCivic's foreign subsidiaries, all of CoreCivic's accounts receivable, and all of CoreCivic's deposit accounts. The Bank Credit Facility requires CoreCivic to meet certain financial covenants, including, without limitation, a maximum total leverage ratio, a maximum secured leverage ratio, and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. As of December 31, 2021, CoreCivic was in compliance with all such covenants. In addition, the Bank Credit Facility contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, payment of dividends and other customary restricted payments, permitted investments, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, mergers and consolidations, liquidations, prepayments and modifications of other indebtedness, liens and other encumbrances and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. In addition, the Bank Credit Facility is subject to certain cross-default provisions with terms of CoreCivic's other unsecured indebtedness, and is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of a change of control.

As a result of opposition to immigration, detention and incarceration policies and the association of private companies with the enforcement of such policies, some banks, including several that are currently parties to the Bank Credit Facility, have announced that they do not expect to continue providing credit or financial services to private entities that own or operate correctional and detention facilities, including CoreCivic, or to otherwise participate in the provision of credit or financial services in connection with the development or operation of correctional and detention facilities that are associated with private companies. The banks that are currently parties to the Bank Credit Facility are obligated to honor their commitments under the Bank Credit Facility until its maturity.

Incremental Term Loan A. Interest rate margins under the Term Loan A are the same as the interest rate margins under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Term Loan A also has the same collateral requirements, financial and certain other covenants, and cross-default provisions as the Revolving Credit Facility. The Term Loan A, which is pre-payable without penalty, also has a maturity concurrent with the Revolving Credit Facility due April 2023, with scheduled quarterly principal payments through April 2023. As of December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance of the Term Loan A was $170.0 million.

Senior Secured Term Loan B. On December 18, 2019, CoreCivic entered into a $250.0 million Senior Secured Term Loan B ("Term Loan B" and, together with the Bank Credit Facility, the "Credit Agreements"). The Term Loan B bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 4.50%, with a 1.00% LIBOR floor (or, at CoreCivic's option, a base rate plus 3.50%), and has a five-year maturity with scheduled quarterly principal payments through December 2024. The Term Loan B is secured by a first lien on certain specified real property assets, representing a loan-to-value of no greater than 80%. CoreCivic can prepay the Term Loan B at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty. The Term Loan B was issued at a price of 95% of the principal amount of the Term Loan B, resulting in a discount of $12.5 million, which is amortized into interest expense over the term of the Term Loan B. CoreCivic capitalized approximately $5.1 million of costs associated with the issuance of the Term Loan B. During October 2021 and in accordance with the terms of the Term Loan B, CoreCivic repaid $90.0 million of the outstanding balance of the Term Loan B using cash on hand. As a result, the Company reported a charge of $4.1 million for the pro rata write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and the original issue discount. As of December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance of the Term Loan B was $128.8 million.

Senior Notes. Interest on the $173.7 million remaining principal balance outstanding on CoreCivic's 4.625% senior notes issued in April 2013 with an original principal amount of $350.0 million (the "4.625% Senior Notes") accrues at the stated rate and is payable in May and November of each year. The 4.625% Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on May 1, 2023. Interest on the $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of CoreCivic's 4.75% senior notes issued in October 2017 (the "4.75% Senior Notes") accrues at the stated rate and is payable in April and October of each year. The 4.75% Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on October 15, 2027.

The 4.625% Senior Notes, the 4.75% Senior Notes, and the 8.25% Senior Notes, described hereafter, collectively referred to herein as the "Senior Notes", are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed by all of the Company's subsidiaries that guarantee the Bank Credit Facility. CoreCivic may redeem all or part of the 4.625% Senior Notes and the 4.75% Senior Notes at any time prior to three months before their respective maturity date at a "make-whole" redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. Thereafter, the 4.625% Senior Notes and the 4.75% Senior Notes are redeemable at CoreCivic's option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

On April 14, 2021, the Company completed an underwritten registered offering of $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the "Original 8.25% Senior Notes"), which are guaranteed by the Company's existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee the Bank Credit Facility. The Original 8.25% Senior Notes were priced at 99.0% of face value and as a result have an effective yield to maturity of 8.50%. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Original 8.25% Senior Notes totaled approximately $435.1 million, after deducting the original issuance and underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses. The Company used a significant amount of the net proceeds from the offering of the Original 8.25% Senior Notes (i) to redeem all of the $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of CoreCivic's 5.0% senior notes issued in September 2015 (the "5.0% Senior Notes"), including the payment of the applicable "make-whole" redemption amount of $15.5 million and accrued interest, and (ii) to otherwise repay or reduce its other indebtedness, including repurchasing $149.0 million of its 4.625% Senior Notes at an aggregate purchase price of $151.2 million in privately negotiated transactions, reducing the outstanding balance of the 4.625% Senior Notes to $201.0 million. In the second and fourth quarters of 2021, the Company purchased an additional $27.3 million of its 4.625% Senior Notes at par in open market purchases, further reducing the outstanding balance of the 4.625% Senior Notes to $173.7 million.

The "make-whole" redemption amount paid in connection with the redemption of the 5.0% Senior Notes, originally scheduled to mature on October 15, 2022, and the aggregate price paid for the 4.625% Senior Notes in excess of the principal amount of the notes repurchased resulted in charges of $19.2 million during the second quarter of 2021, including costs associated with the repurchases and the proportionate write-off of existing debt issuance costs. The remaining net proceeds were used to pay down a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes.

On September 29, 2021, CoreCivic completed an underwritten registered tack-on offering of $225.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.25% Senior Notes due 2026 (the "Additional 8.25% Senior Notes") at an issue price of 102.25% of their aggregate principal amount, plus accrued interest from the April 14, 2021 issue date for the Original 8.25% Senior Notes, resulting in an effective yield to maturity of 7.65% for the Additional 8.25% Senior Notes. The Additional 8.25% Senior Notes and the Original 8.25% Senior Notes (together, the "8.25% Senior Notes") constitute a single class of securities and have identical terms, other than issue date and issue price. The issuance of the Additional 8.25% Senior Notes increased the total aggregate principal amount of 8.25% Senior Notes outstanding to $675.0 million. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Additional 8.25% Senior Notes totaled approximately $225.5 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses and including the original issuance premium.

Interest on the 8.25% Senior Notes accrues at the stated rate and is payable in April and October of each year. The 8.25% Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on April 15, 2026.

The Company may redeem all or part of the 8.25% Senior Notes at any time prior to April 15, 2024, in whole or in part, at a "make-whole" redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. Thereafter, the 8.25% Senior Notes are redeemable at CoreCivic's option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price expressed as a percentage of the principal amount thereof, which percentage is 104.125% beginning on April 15, 2024 and 100% beginning on April 15, 2025, plus, in each such case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

The indentures governing the Senior Notes contain certain customary covenants that, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, restrict CoreCivic's ability to, among other things, create or permit to exist certain liens and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of CoreCivic's assets. In addition, if CoreCivic experiences specific kinds of changes in control, CoreCivic must offer to repurchase all or any portion of the Senior Notes. The offer price for the Senior Notes in connection with a change in control would be 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the notes repurchased to the date of purchase. The indenture related to our 8.25% senior notes due 2026 additionally limits our ability to incur indebtedness, make restricted payments and investments and prepay certain indebtedness. The Senior Notes are also subject to certain cross-default provisions with the terms of CoreCivic's Bank Credit Facility, as well as the credit agreement governing the Term Loan B.

Capital Commerce Center. 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. The acquisition was partially financed with a $24.5 million non-recourse mortgage note (the "Capital Commerce Note"), which was fully-secured by the Capital Commerce Center property, with an interest rate of 4.5%, maturing in January 2033. Principal and interest on the Capital Commerce Note were payable in equal monthly payments over the 15-year term of the note. The Capital Commerce Note was pre-payable at any time with a prepayment charge, if any, equal to an amount so as to maintain the same yield on the Capital Commerce Note as if it had been carried through to its full term using Treasury instruments having a term equal to the remaining term of the Capital Commerce Note as of the prepayment date. CoreCivic capitalized approximately $0.4 million of costs associated with the Capital Commerce Note. On May 28, 2021, CoreCivic completed the sale of the Capital Commerce Center, along with 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 Capital Commerce Note and other transaction-related costs. In connection with the sale, CoreCivic incurred charges of $3.7 million associated with the prepayment of the Capital Commerce Note recognized in the consolidated statement of operations as expenses associated with debt repayments and refinancing transactions.

Lansing Correctional Facility. On April 20, 2018, CoreCivic of Kansas, LLC (the "Issuer"), a wholly-owned unrestricted subsidiary of the Company, priced $159.5 million in aggregate principal amount of non-recourse senior secured notes of the Issuer (the "Kansas Notes"), in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The private placement closed on June 1, 2018. The Company used the proceeds of the private placement, which were drawn on quarterly funding dates beginning in the second quarter of 2018, to fund construction of the Lansing Correctional Facility, along with costs and expenses of the project. The Kansas Notes have a yield to maturity of 4.43% and are scheduled to mature in January 2040, 20 years following completion of the project, which occurred in January 2020. Principal and interest on the Kansas Notes are payable in quarterly payments, which began in July 2020 and continue until maturity. CoreCivic may redeem all or part of the Kansas Notes at any time upon written notice of not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment, with a "make-whole" amount, together with interest on the Kansas Notes accrued to, but not including, the redemption date. CoreCivic capitalized approximately $3.4 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 Credit Agreements, the issuance and service of the Kansas Notes, and the revenues and expenses associated with the facility lease, do not impact the financial covenants associated with the Company's Credit Agreements. As of December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance of the Kansas Notes was $154.5 million.

SSA-Baltimore. On August 23, 2018, CoreCivic acquired the 541,000 square-foot SSA-Baltimore office building for a purchase price of $242.0 million. In connection with the acquisition, a wholly-owned unrestricted subsidiary of the Company assumed $157.3 million of in-place financing that was used to fund the initial construction of the property in 2014. The assumed non-recourse mortgage note (the "SSA-Baltimore Note") carried a fixed interest rate of 4.5% and required monthly principal and interest payments, with a balloon payment of $40.0 million due at maturity in February 2034. The SSA-Baltimore Note was fully-secured by the SSA-Baltimore property. CoreCivic could pre-pay the SSA-Baltimore Note in whole or in part upon not less than 30 days' and not more than 60 days' prior written notice and such pre-payment would include a "make-whole" amount. During the last 90 days of the permanent loan term and upon 30 days' prior written notice, CoreCivic could pre-pay the note in full, including any accrued and outstanding interest on any permanent loan payment date, without the payment of the "make-whole" amount. CoreCivic capitalized approximately $0.2 million of costs associated with the assumption of the SSA-Baltimore Note. On June 29, 2021, CoreCivic completed the sale of the SSA-Baltimore property to a third party for an aggregate price of $253.0 million, generating net proceeds of $76.4 million after the repayment of the SSA-Baltimore Note and other transaction-related costs. In connection with the sale, CoreCivic incurred charges of $29.3 million associated with the prepayment of the SSA-Baltimore Note recognized in the consolidated statement of operations as expenses associated with debt repayments and refinancing transactions.

Guarantees and Covenants. All of the restricted domestic subsidiaries of CoreCivic (as the parent corporation) have provided full and unconditional guarantees of the Senior Notes. All of CoreCivic's subsidiaries guaranteeing the Senior Notes are 100% owned subsidiaries of CoreCivic; and the subsidiary guarantees are full and unconditional and are joint and several obligations of the guarantors.

As of December 31, 2021, neither CoreCivic nor any of its subsidiary guarantors had any material or significant restrictions on CoreCivic's ability to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan or to transfer assets from such subsidiaries.

Letters of Credit. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, CoreCivic had $13.9 million and $14.8 million, respectively, in outstanding letters of credit. The letters of credit were issued to secure CoreCivic's workers' compensation and general liability insurance policies, performance bonds, utility deposits, and for a debt service reserve requirement under terms of the Kansas Notes.

Scheduled principal payments as of December 31, 2021 for the next five years and thereafter were as follows (in thousands):

The provisions of CoreCivic's debt agreements relating to the Credit Agreements and the Senior Notes contain certain cross-default provisions. Any events of default under the Credit Agreements that result in the lenders' actual acceleration of amounts outstanding thereunder also result in an event of default under the Senior Notes. Additionally, any events of default under the Senior Notes that give rise to the ability of the holders of such indebtedness to exercise their acceleration rights also result in an event of default under the Credit Agreements.

If CoreCivic were to be in default under the Credit Agreements, and if the lenders under the Credit Agreements elected to exercise their rights to accelerate CoreCivic's obligations under the Credit Agreements, such events could result in the acceleration of all or a portion of CoreCivic's Senior Notes, which would have a material impact on CoreCivic's liquidity and financial position. CoreCivic does not have sufficient working capital to satisfy its debt obligations in the event of an acceleration of all or a substantial portion of CoreCivic's outstanding indebtedness.
