GEO GROUP INC

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires that GEO’s directors, executive officers and persons who beneficially own 10% or more of GEO’s common stock file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our stock and our other equity securities. To GEO’s knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to GEO and written representations that no other reports were required, during the year ended December 31, 2024, all such filing requirements applicable to GEO’s directors, executive officers and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with except for Mr. Kernan, who inadvertently filed one late report regarding one transaction.
