For the avoidance of doubt, Eligible Holders (as defined below) who validly tender Existing Notes of a series after the Early Exchange Date but on or before the Expiration Date, will not receive accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Existing Notes from the Early Settlement Date through the Final Settlement Date. In addition, Eligible Holders of the December 2027 Notes whose tenders are settled after December 1, 2025 and before December 15, 2025 will be deemed to have consented to giving up any claim to the interest payment due on December 15 in respect of the December 2027 Notes that they might otherwise have as a result of the related interest payment record date of December 1, 2025, and will receive only the accrued interest described above.

For avoidance of doubt, the Exchange Offer in respect of one series of Existing Notes is not conditioned on the Exchange Offer in respect of another series of Existing Notes, or vice versa. Sabre GLBL reserves the right to extend, amend or terminate any Exchange Offer for any reason or for no reason.

Sabre GLBL currently anticipates, subject to execution of definitive documentation and certain customary closing conditions, that the proceeds from the SPV Notes Private Offering will result in Sabre GLBL's receipt of gross proceeds which, together with cash on hand, will be sufficient to fund the cash portion of the Exchange Offers, including accrued interest for all Existing Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offers and accepted for purchase by Sabre GLBL, subject to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offers, as well as the cash consideration to be provided in the Term Loan Refinancing.
