Item 8.01. Other Events.

On August 2, 2022, the Board of Directors of CoreCivic (the "Board") authorized an increase (the "Additional Authorization") in its share repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to an additional $75.0 million in shares of the Company's outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"). As a result of the Additional Authorization, the aggregate authorization under the Company's repurchase program increased from the original authorization of up to $150.0 million shares of Common Stock to up to $225.0 million shares of Common Stock. The share repurchase program has no time limit and does not obligate CoreCivic to purchase any particular amount of Common Stock. The authorization for the share repurchase program may be terminated, suspended, increased or decreased by the Board in its discretion at any time. Repurchases of Common Stock by the Company will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws and may be made at management's discretion within parameters set by the Board from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise.

Since May 16, 2022 through August 1, 2022, CoreCivic has repurchased 4.2 million shares of Common Stock at an average price of approximately $12.13 per share, representing an aggregate purchase price of $50.6 million, excluding fees, commissions or other expenses related to repurchases. There is approximately $174.4 million remaining under the current Board authorized share repurchase plan.

This Current Report includes forward-looking statements regarding CoreCivic's share repurchase program. These forward-looking statements may be affected by risks and uncertainties in CoreCivic's business and market conditions. This information is qualified in its entirety by cautionary statements and risk factor disclosures contained in CoreCivic's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including CoreCivic's annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K.
