Under the terms of the definitive merger agreement approved by the Company, Cornell Companies stockholders will have the option to elect to receive either 1.3 shares of GEO common stock for each share of Cornell Companies common stock, or cash consideration equal to the greater of (i) the fair market value of one share of GEO common stock plus $6.00 or (ii) the fair market value of 1.3 shares of GEO common stock.
