On December 7, 2017, the Board of Directors (the Board) of CoreCivic, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the Company), in accordance
with the Eighth Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, approved, effective January 1, 2018, the expansion of the size of the Board from nine members to ten members (the Expansion). Additionally, in connection with the approval
of the Expansion and effective January 1, 2018, the Board approved the appointment of Harley G. Lappin to fill the vacancy created by the Expansion, to serve as a director of the Company until the Companys 2018 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders, at which time Mr. Lappin will be considered for election by the Companys stockholders for a one year term expiring in 2019. Mr. Lappin has not been named to any committee of the Board in connection with the foregoing.
Since 2011, Mr. Lappin, age 61, has served as the Companys Executive Vice President and Chief Corrections Officer. On October 30, 2017,
the Company announced Mr. Lappins intention to retire from his position as the Companys Executive Vice President and Chief Corrections Officer, effective January 1, 2018. Following January 1, 2018, Mr. Lappin
will continue as an at will employee of the Company in a non-executive officer position. There are no other arrangements or understandings between Mr. Lappin and any other person pursuant to which he was appointed as
a director, and Mr. Lappin is not a party to any transaction with the Company that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of
Regulation S-K.
A copy of the press release announcing Mr. Lappins appointment to the Board is attached as
Exhibit 99.1
to this Current
Report on
Form 8-K and
is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.03.
|
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
|
On December 7, 2017, the
Board amended the Companys Eighth Amended and Restated Bylaws (the Bylaws), effective immediately (the Amendment).
The
Amendment replaces Article XII of the Bylaws in its entirety with a revised Article XII, pursuant to which the Board grants to stockholders of the Company the power to amend the Bylaws by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of the Companys common stock, par value $0.01 (Common Stock), pursuant to a proposal submitted by any stockholder (or group of up to five stockholders) holding not less than one percent of the outstanding shares
of the Common Stock for not less than one year (the Ownership Threshold). Absent the approval of the Board, a stockholder proposal submitted under the amended Article XII may not (i) alter or repeal Article X of the Bylaws, which
provides for indemnification of directors and officers of the Company, (ii) alter or repeal Article XII of the Bylaws or (iii) adopt, alter or repeal any provision of the Bylaws in a manner that would be inconsistent with Article X or
Article XII of the Bylaws.
The Board believes the Ownership Threshold enables stockholders who hold a meaningful stake in the Company for more than a
brief period of time to propose binding amendments to the Bylaws. In that regard, the Board considered that, based on the most recently available public filings made by stockholders, as of September 30, 2017 (i) 18 stockholders held at least
one percent (representing approximately 54.01% of the outstanding shares in the aggregate) of the Common Stock, (ii) an additional 50 stockholders held at least 0.2% (representing approximately 20.53% of the outstanding shares in the aggregate)
of the Common Stock, and (iii) these 68 stockholders together owned approximately 74.54% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock.
The
foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to a copy of the Amendment filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Form
8-K,
which is incorporated by reference herein.
