Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 1, 2005, The GEO Group, Inc. (GEO) received written notice from the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (BICE) that BICE will not exercise its option to renew GEOs management contract to operate the immigration detention facility located in Queens, New York (the Queens Contract), which is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2005. During the year ended January 2, 2005 and the three months ended April 3, 2005, the Queens Contract represented 2.1% and 2.0%, respectively, of GEOs consolidated revenues.
GEO is currently in active discussions with another agency of the federal government which has expressed an interest in utilizing the Queens facility, and GEO has begun to make security enhancements to the facility for the purpose of meeting the security requirements of that agency. In the event that the agency commits to the use of the Queens facility prior to June 30, 2005, the Queens Contract could be novated to that agency and re-newed, in which case GEO would continue to manage the Queens Facility on behalf of the agency pursuant to the Queens Contract. In the event that the agency does not commit to the use of Queens facility prior to June 30, 2005, the Queens Contract will expire and GEO will continue to market the facility with the objective of having the facility re-populated at the earliest practicable time.
