Sabre Corporation Announces Early Tender Results of Previously Announced Cash Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation by Sabre Financial Borrower, LLC

Published

on

By

SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sabre Corporation (“Sabre”) (Nasdaq: SABR) today announced the early tender results of the previously announced cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) by Sabre Financial Borrower, LLC (“Sabre Financial”), its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, for any and all of Sabre Financial’s securities set forth in the table below (the “Securities”) and concurrent solicitation of consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) to certain proposed amendments to the Securities and the Indenture (as defined below). The Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 12, 2026 (unless extended or earlier terminated, the “Expiration Date”).

The Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation are being made pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase and consent solicitation statement, dated September 14, 2026 (the “Offer to Purchase”).

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 25, 2026 (such date and time, the “Early Tender Deadline” and “Withdrawal Deadline,” as applicable), according to information provided to D.F. King & Co., Inc., the tender and information agent for the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation, the aggregate principal amount of Securities listed in the table below has been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation. Withdrawal rights for the Securities expired at the Early Tender Deadline and, accordingly, any Securities that were validly tendered may no longer be withdrawn except where additional withdrawal rights are required by law.

Dollars per $1,000 principal amount of Securities validly tendered and accepted for purchase.

(2)

Includes Early Tender Premium (as defined below). Does not include accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities, which will also be payable as provided herein.

The Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation remain subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including the financing for the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation. Such conditions may be waived by Sabre Financial in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law. Any waiver of a condition by Sabre Financial will not constitute a waiver of any other condition. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions and as described in the Offer to Purchase, Sabre Financial is expected to make payment on September 28, 2026 (such date and time, as it may be extended, the “Early Settlement Date”) for the Securities and related consents that (i) were validly tendered and delivered, as applicable, and not validly withdrawn or revoked, as applicable, at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline and (ii) are accepted for purchase on the Early Settlement Date.

The consideration to be paid for the Securities accepted for purchase on the Early Settlement Date per $1,000 principal amount of Securities is the amount set forth in the table above under the heading “Total Consideration.” The amounts set forth in the table above under “Total Consideration” include an early tender premium of $50 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities accepted for purchase (the “Early Tender Premium”). All Holders of Securities accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest from the most recent interest payment date preceding the Early Settlement Date to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date.

Any Holder who tenders Securities in the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation will be deemed to automatically have provided consents, and Securities may not be tendered without delivering consents. Based on the consents received as of the Early Tender Deadline, Sabre Financial has obtained the required consents to effect all of the proposed amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) as described in the Offer to Purchase. Consequently, as previously announced, Sabre Financial expects to execute a supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) effecting the Proposed Amendments with respect to the indenture dated December 5, 2025 (the “Indenture”), entered into by and among Sabre Financial, the guarantors party thereto, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, under which the Securities were issued, and the Securities on or about the Early Settlement Date. The Supplemental Indenture will become effective upon (a) its execution and delivery by each of the parties thereto, and (b) the settlement of the Tender Offer with respect to accepted Securities tendered prior to the Early Tender Deadline on the Early Settlement Date.

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, because more than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities outstanding has been validly tendered in the Tender Offer, Sabre Financial intends, following its purchase of the tendered Securities, to deliver a notice of redemption to redeem all Securities that remain outstanding after giving effect to the purchase of the Securities on the Early Settlement Date. The redemption price for such Securities will be equal to the Total Consideration set forth in the table above, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date. The redemption date is expected to be October 13, 2026. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that any Securities will be redeemed. Nothing herein shall constitute a notice of redemption with respect to the Securities.

Sabre Financial reserves the right, subject to applicable law, in its sole discretion, to waive any of the conditions of the Tender Offer or the Consent Solicitation, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time. It also reserves the right, subject to applicable law, in its sole discretion, (1) to terminate or withdraw the Tender Offer or the Consent Solicitation at any time; (2) to extend the Early Tender Deadline, the Withdrawal Deadline or the Expiration Date; or (3) otherwise to amend the Tender Offer or Consent Solicitation in any respect. It may extend the Early Tender Deadline without extending the Withdrawal Deadline.

Holders must make their own decision as to whether to tender any of their Securities and deliver their Consents, and, if so, the principal amount of Securities to tender and Consents to deliver.
