Section 8 — Other Events
     Item 8.01 Other Events.
     On June 22, 2011, a verdict for $6.5 million was entered against The GEO Group, Inc. (“GEO”) in a wrongful death action brought by the family of a former inmate at a GEO Oklahoma state correctional facility. GEO disagrees with the verdict and intends to pursue an appeal. GEO intends to vigorously defend its rights with respect to this matter. Under its insurance plan, GEO is responsible for the first $3.0 million of liability with respect to this matter. Aside from this amount which GEO would pay directly from general corporate funds, GEO believes it has insurance coverage for this matter.
