Item 2. Disposition of Assets.
On July 18, 1997, Corrections Corporation of America, a Tennessee
corporation (the "Company") and certain of its subsidiaries, sold the following
nine correctional and detention facilities to CCA Prison Realty Trust, a
Maryland real estate investment trust (the "REIT"), for an aggregate purchase
price of $308.1 million:
Houston Processing Center located in Houston, Texas;
Laredo Processing Center located in Laredo, Texas;
Bridgeport Pre-Parole Transfer Facility, located in Bridgeport, Texas;
Mineral Wells Pre-Parole Transfer Facility, located in Mineral Wells,
Texas;
West Tennessee Detention Facility, located in Mason, Tennessee;
Leavenworth Detention Center, located in Leavenworth, Kansas;
Eloy Detention Center, located in Eloy, Arizona; Central Arizona
Detention Center, located in Florence, Arizona; and
T. Don Hutto Correctional Center, located in Taylor, Texas.
Additionally, on July 28, 1997, the REIT exercised its option to purchase the
Northeast Ohio Correctional Center, located in Youngstown, Ohio. The Company
sold the Northeast Ohio Correctional Center to the REIT for a purchase price of
$70.1 million. The Company sold the real property and all tangible personal
property associated with each of the facilities to the REIT.
The purchase price of all of the facilities except for the T. Don Hutto
Correctional Center and the Northeast Ohio Correctional Center was based on an
evaluation of the current and anticipated cash flows and operating results of
the facilities. Because the T. Don Hutto Correctional Center and the Northeast
Ohio Correctional Center were completed in January and June of 1997,
respectively, the purchase prices were calculated as the Company's approximate
cost of developing, constructing and equipping the facility, plus 5% of such
costs.
Simultaneously with the sale of each of the facilities to the REIT, the
Company entered into agreements with the REIT to lease the facilities from the
REIT pursuant to long-term, non-cancelable triple net leases which require the
Company to pay all operating expenses, taxes, insurance and other costs. All of
the leases provide for base rent with certain annual escalations and have
primary terms ranging from 10-12 years which may be extended at the fair market
rates for three additional five-year periods upon the mutual agreement of the
Company and the REIT.
Doctor R. Crants is the chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company and the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of
the REIT. D. Robert Crants, III, President and a member of the Board of Trustees
of the REIT, is the son of Doctor R. Crants. Doctor R. Crants and D. Robert
Crants, III, as well as certain other trustees or officers of the REIT or
directors or officers of the Company, may also own, directly or indirectly,
shares in both companies.
