Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 22, 2015, Corrections Corporation of America, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 6, 2012, by and among the Company, as Borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company, certain lenders and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the lenders, as amended (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”).

The Amendment provides for, among other things, an extension of the maturity date from December 2017 to July 2020.

The Amendment also increases the aggregate principal amount of the “accordion” feature that provides for uncommitted incremental extensions of credit in the form of increases in the revolving commitments or incremental term loans from $100 million to $350 million.
