**CORECIVIC ANNOUNCES $200 MILLION INCREASE TO SHARE REPURCHASE AUTHORIZATION** 

**Brentwood, Tenn. – November 10, 2025 – CoreCivic, Inc. (NYSE: CXW)** ("CoreCivic") announced today that its Board of Directors authorized an increase to its existing share repurchase program pursuant to which CoreCivic may purchase up to an additional $200 million in shares of CoreCivic's outstanding common stock. As a result of the increase, the aggregate authorization under CoreCivic's repurchase program increased from up to $500.0 million shares of common stock to up to $700.0 million shares of common stock.

Since the share repurchase program was authorized in May 2022, through November 7, 2025, we have repurchased a total of 21.5 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $322.1 million, or $14.98 per share, excluding fees, commissions and other costs related to the repurchases. As of November 7, 2025, including the additional authorization, we have $377.9 million of repurchase authorization available under the share repurchase program.

Damon T. Hininger, CoreCivic's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to announce an increase to our stock repurchase authorization. We remain committed to deploying capital in ways that we believe will enhance long-term shareholder value. While our share price is influenced by many factors outside our control, we believe our current valuation does not fully reflect the progress and opportunities we see in our business."

Patrick D. Swindle, CoreCivic's President and Chief Operating Officer, added, "We believe our recently announced contract awards and the overall strength of our business position us well to execute on our capital allocation strategy. Given our earnings trajectory, alternative opportunities to deploy capital, and our current share price, we are prioritizing the allocation of our cash flows to our share repurchase program."
