Sabre Announces Exchange of $150 Million of Existing 4.000% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2025 for Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2026
Upon completion of the Exchange, the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Exchangeable Notes outstanding will be
The New Exchangeable Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Sabre GLBL, which will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Sabre and Sabre Holdings Corporation, the sole direct subsidiary of Sabre and direct parent of Sabre GLBL. The New Exchangeable Notes will accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on August 1, 2024. The interest rate for the New Exchangeable Notes will be determined based on the volume-weighted average price of Sabre's common stock,
If a "Fundamental Change" (as will be defined in the indenture for the New Exchangeable Notes) occurs, then, subject to a limited exception, holders of the New Exchangeable Notes may require Sabre GLBL to repurchase their New Exchangeable Notes for cash. The repurchase price will be equal to the principal amount of the New Exchangeable Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date.
In connection with the Exchange, Sabre expects that holders of Existing Exchangeable Notes that participate in the Exchange will seek to sell shares of Common Stock and/or enter into various derivative positions with respect to shares of Common Stock to establish hedge positions with respect to the New Exchangeable Notes. This activity could decrease (or reduce the size of any increase in) the market price of shares of Common Stock, the Existing Exchangeable Notes or the New Exchangeable Notes at that time.
The Exchange and any shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exchange of the New Exchangeable Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any other securities laws, and the New Exchangeable Notes and any such shares of Common Stock cannot be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, the New Exchangeable Notes or any shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exchange of the New Exchangeable Notes, nor will there be any sale of the New Exchangeable Notes or any such shares of Common Stock, in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or solicitation would be unlawful.
