Swenson Daren 4

What Happened

• Daren Swenson, Chief Corrections Officer of CoreCivic, was granted 28,090 restricted stock units (RSUs) on February 17, 2026. The Form 4 reports the award as an "A" (award/grant) at an acquisition price of $0.00, meaning no cash was exchanged at grant; the economic value will depend on CoreCivic's future share price when/if the RSUs convert to shares.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-17; Form 4 filed: 2026-02-18 (timely).
• Grant: 28,090 RSUs reported as acquired at $0.00 (total shown = $0).
• Vesting: RSUs vest in three equal annual installments (1/3 each) on the later of (i) the first, second, and third anniversary of the grant or (ii) the date the company files its annual Form 10-K in each respective year (per footnote).
• Tax withholding / 10b5-1: Not indicated in the provided filing excerpt.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided excerpt of the Form 4.

Context

• RSUs are a form of equity compensation that convert to ordinary shares if and when they vest; they are not an immediate cash purchase or sale and do not necessarily signal buying or selling intent.
• Because this is a grant (not a sale), it’s compensation rather than a direct bullish/bearish signal. The eventual value received by Swenson will depend on CoreCivic’s stock price at vesting.
