Analysis · GEO · Real Estate & Construction
GEO amended and restated its credit agreement, extending the $550 million revolving facility maturity to July 14, 2031 and increasing the incremental borrowing amount to $750 million. More importantly, the amendment removes the restricted payments cap, permitting unlimited share repurchases as long as total leverage stays at or below 2.25x. This directly supports the recently expanded $1.25 billion buyback authorization and follows the $950 million Adelanto asset sale that funded the redemption of the 8.625% senior secured notes due 2029.
