Sabre Corp prices $1.35B 9.875% notes due 2032
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Sabre Corp (SABR) disclosed that wholly owned subsidiary Sabre Financial Borrower, LLC has priced an upsized private offering of $1.35 billion aggregate principal amount of 9.875% Senior Secured Notes due October 15, 2032, increased from a previously announced $1.1 billion. The notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a secured basis by Sabre Financing Holdings LLC and certain foreign subsidiaries, with foreign guarantees limited to $400 million.
Sabre Financial plans to use the gross proceeds to fund a new intercompany loan to Sabre GLBL Inc., which is expected to be used to prepay an existing intercompany loan at 100% of principal plus a make‑whole premium and accrued interest, and to prepay, redeem or repurchase existing indebtedness, including 11.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2029. Concurrently, Sabre Financial has launched a cash tender offer and consent solicitation for $1.0 billion of its 11.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2029, offering Total Consideration of $1,092.50 per $1,000 (including a $50 Early Tender Premium) for notes tendered by the Early Tender Deadline.
Separately, Sabre GLBL has commenced additional cash tender offers for three series of senior secured notes, subject to an Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount of $250 million, with differing acceptance priority levels and purchase prices. All tender offers and the consent solicitation are subject to customary conditions, including consummation of the new Secured Notes financing.
Positive
- $1.35 billion of new 9.875% senior secured notes due 2032 extend Sabre’s debt maturity profile and are structured to refinance existing secured notes, including 11.125% notes due 2029, which may improve its long-term capital structure.
- Linked cash tender offers and consent solicitation targeting up to $1.0 billion of 11.125% notes and up to $250 million of other secured notes could simplify Sabre’s debt stack and give holders liquidity at a premium to par.
Negative
- The new $1.35 billion senior secured notes carry a relatively high 9.875% coupon and are secured by substantially all assets of key subsidiaries, indicating a meaningful ongoing interest burden and heavy reliance on secured borrowing.
