ACQUISITION OF B.I. INCORPORATED
| Further Diversifies $1.6 Billion Global Provider of Essential Government Services | |
| GEO Uniquely Positioned to Deliver Full Continuum of Care Solutions for Correctional, Detention and Treatment Services |
Boca Raton, Fla. February 11, 2011 The GEO Group (NYSE: GEO) (GEO) a leading provider of
correctional, detention, and treatment services to federal, state and local government agencies
around the globe announced today the successful closing of its previously announced acquisition of
B.I. Incorporated (BI), a private provider of innovative compliance technologies,
industry-leading monitoring services, and evidence-based supervision and treatment programs for
community-based parolees, probationers, and pretrial defendants. GEO has acquired BI for $415
million in an all cash transaction, excluding transaction related expenses. BI will be integrated
into GEOs wholly-owned subsidiary, GEO Care.
George C. Zoley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GEO, said: This important milestone
further diversifies GEO and positions our company to meet the demand for increasingly diversified
correctional, detention and treatment services in every state and for every federal detention and
corrections agency in the United States. GEO is now uniquely positioned to provide full continuum
of care solutions for correctional, detention, and treatment services worldwide. From the
management of correctional and detention facilities to the reintegration of offenders into the
community, there is a growing need in our industry for comprehensive continuum of care services
that address the entire corrections, detention, and residential treatment spectrum, providing a
better basis for meaningful measurement of program outcomes.
B.I. Incorporated
Founded in 1978, BI is the largest provider of comprehensive electronic monitoring services, tracking more than 60,000 offenders on behalf of approximately 900 federal, state and local correctional agencies located in all 50 states. BI applies a full continuum of technologies including radio frequency and global positioning system equipment, voice identification, and remote alcohol detection systems. BI also provides community-based reentry services for approximately 1,700 parolees on behalf of state and local correctional agencies at 26 non-residential day reporting centers across the United States. BI is the sole provider of monitoring and supervision services for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) through the Intensive Supervision and Appearance Program (ISAP), which is a core component of ICEs Alternatives to Detention program. BI supervises non-criminal aliens who are required to comply with ICEs Executive Office of Immigration Review court process.
