Plan Description

Note 1 - Plan Description

The GEO Save 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) is a defined contribution plan sponsored by GEO Group, Inc. (the “Company”). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).

The following is a summary of major plan provisions. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information.

Participation

An employee age 18 or older and not considered to be a highly compensated employee (as defined in the Plan) is eligible to participate in the Plan on the first day of the payroll period following the date of employment. Highly compensated employees are excluded from participation in the Plan.

Contributions and Allocations

The Plan permits tax-deferred contributions from 1% to 75% of a participant’s eligible compensation, subject to certain Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) limitations. The Plan also allows participants to make after-tax Roth 401(k) contributions. Participants are vested immediately in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. The Plan allows for rollovers of vested balances from previous employers’ qualified plans. Participants who have attained age 50 before the end of the Plan year are eligible to make catch-up contributions. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan.

The Company may contribute to the Plan either annual or bi-weekly matching contributions on behalf of participants who made elective deferrals during such period in an amount determined annually by the Company’s management. The Company may, at its discretion, designate a different matching contribution formula for participants at each separate work site, and/or participants with different job classifications. In order to be entitled to an allocation of the Company’s discretionary annual matching contribution, participants, as defined under the Plan, must be employed on the last day of the Plan year. Also, the Company, at its discretion, may make a non-elective contribution to the Plan each year. There were no such discretionary non-elective contributions made during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is adjusted with the participant’s contributions and the participant’s withdrawals, and allocations of the Company’s contributions, Plan earnings, losses and expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings and losses or account balances, or specific participant transactions, as defined, as of the date of the allocation. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account.

Notes Receivable from Participants

Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum not to exceed the lesser of $50,000, or 50% of their vested account balance. Loans are repayable through payroll deductions over a period not to exceed five years, unless used to acquire a principal residence, in which case the repayment period may not exceed ten years. Loans are secured by balances in participants’ vested accounts, and a participant may only have one outstanding loan at a time. The interest rates on loans outstanding are based on the prime rate plus 1%. Generally, principal and interest is paid ratably through monthly payroll deductions.

Vesting

Participants fully vest in the Company’s contributions upon completion of three years of vesting service, as defined in the Plan. Additionally, Company contributions become fully vested upon normal retirement age, as defined by the Plan, death, or termination of employment as a result of a total or permanent disability. See vesting schedule below:


Years of Vesting Service		Vested Interest
Less than 3		0%
3 or more		100%

Forfeited Accounts

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, forfeited non-vested amounts totaled approximately $776,000 and $949,000, respectively. Any non-vested portion of matching contributions credited to the accounts of participants who withdraw prior to becoming fully vested is forfeited and used by the Company to reduce future matching contributions and/or payment of eligible administrative expenses. The Company utilized approximately $841,000 of forfeitures for the payment of employer matching contributions and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Payment of Benefits

Eligible participants may elect to receive benefits in a lump-sum payment, a series of payments within one calendar year, a series of annual installments of approximately equal amounts to be paid over a period of five to ten years, or the employee’s vested benefit may be used to purchase an immediate or deferred annuity. The amount of benefits paid will be determined by the vested balance in the participant’s Plan account at the date of retirement, termination, death or disability.

Voting Rights

Each participant who has an interest in The GEO Group, Inc. Common Stock is entitled to exercise voting rights attributable to the shares allocated to his or her Stock Fund account and is notified by the Trustee, as defined by the Plan, prior to the time that such rights are to be exercised. If the Trustee does not receive timely instructions, the Trustee itself or by proxy shall vote all such shares in the same ratio as the shares with respect to which instructions were received from participants.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) - EBP 001	Dec. 31, 2025
EBP, Accounting Policy [Line Items]
Basis of Accounting	Basis of Accounting The accompanying financial statements of the Plan are prepared on an accrual basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition	Investment Valuation and Income Recognition The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value with the exception of fully benefit-responsive investment contracts, which are stated at contract value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. See below for discussion of Fair Value Measurements. Contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. The contract value is the relevant measurement since it represents the amount that the participant would receive if they were to initiate permitted withdrawal transactions under the terms of the Plan. Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation in fair value of investments includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held, during the year.
Notes Receivable from Participants	Notes Receivable from Participants Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Related fees are recorded as administrative expenses when they are incurred. Delinquent participant loans are reclassified as distributions based upon the terms of the Plan document.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions to and deductions from net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Payments of Benefits	Payment of Benefits Benefits are recorded when paid.
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events The Plan has evaluated subsequent events through June 25, 2026, the date the financial statements were issued. The Plan was amended to permit In-Plan Roth Rollover Contributions effective January 1, 2026.

Disclosure of accounting policy for use of estimate in preparation of financial statement of employee stock purchase, saving, or similar plan (employee benefit plan (EBP)).

Fair Value of Investments

Note 3 - Fair Value of Investments

Accounting standards provide a framework for measuring investments at fair value. The framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements).

Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access;

Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or (iv) inputs that are derived from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Mutual Funds - These investments are public investment vehicles valued using the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) provided by the administrator of the fund. Mutual funds held by the Plan are open-end mutual funds that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The NAV is a quoted price in an active market and classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The mutual funds held by the Plan are deemed to be actively traded.

The GEO Group, Inc. Common Stock Fund - The GEO Group, Inc. common stock fund is based on the ending quoted closing price of the common stock of the Company that is held by the account on the last day of the Plan year plus any cash held in the account, and is classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

Collective Trust Fund - This investment consists of pools of investments used by institutional investors to obtain exposure to equity and fixed income markets. The collective trust fund held by the Plan seeks long-term growth of capital from a high conviction concentrated portfolio of large U.S. stocks. Shares held in the collective trust fund are reported at the NAV as determined by the issuer based on the underlying fair value of its net assets.

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a

different fair value measurement at the reporting date. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Below are the Plan’s investments carried at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2025 and 2024 by the fair value hierarchy levels described above:
