Sabre Corporation Announces Early Tender Results and Upsize of Previously Announced Cash Tender Offers by Sabre GLBL Inc.

SOUTHLAKE, Texas, June 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Sabre Corporation (“Sabre”) (NASDAQ: SABR) announced today the early tender results of the company’s previously announced cash tender offers (the “Tender Offers”) by Sabre GLBL Inc. (“Sabre GLBL”), its wholly owned subsidiary, for Sabre GLBL’s securities set forth in the table below (collectively, the “Securities”). Sabre further announced that it is amending its Tender Offers to (i) increase the maximum Aggregate Purchase Price (as defined below) from the previously announced amount of $615 million to $650 million and (ii) extend the Tender Offers so that the Tender Offers will now expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 27, 2023, unless further extended or earlier terminated. As the Aggregate Purchase Price of all Securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Tender Offers at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline (as defined below) exceeds $650 million, no Securities tendered after the Early Tender Deadline will be accepted for purchase.

The Tender Offers are being made pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the offers to purchase, dated May 25, 2023, as amended by this press release (as so amended, the “Offer to Purchase”). Except for the increase in the maximum Aggregate Purchase Price and the extension of the Tender Offers as described in this press release, no other terms of the Tender Offers have changed.

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 9, 2023 (such date and time, the “Early Tender Deadline”), according to information provided to D.F. King & Co., Inc., the tender and information agent for the Tender Offers, the aggregate principal amount of each series of Securities listed in the table below has been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Tender Offers. 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expired at the Early Tender Deadline and, accordingly, any Securities that were validly tendered may no longer be withdrawn except where additional withdrawal rights are required by law.

(1) Subject to the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount and proration, the principal amount of Securities expected to be accepted for purchase in the
Tender Offers has been determined in accordance with the applicable acceptance priority level (in numerical priority order) specified in this
column.

(2) Includes Early Tender Premium (as defined below).

(3) Does not include accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities, which will also be payable as provided herein.

The Tender Offers remain subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including the financing for the Tender Offers. Such conditions may be waived by Sabre GLBL in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law. Any waiver of a condition by Sabre GLBL 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 GLBL is expected to make payment on June 13, 2022 (such date and time, as it may be extended, the “Early Settlement Date”) for the Securities that (i) were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline and (ii) are accepted for purchase on the Early Settlement Date.

As the Aggregate Purchase Price of all validly tendered and not validly withdrawn 9.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “9.250% Notes”) exceeds $650 million, no validly tendered 7.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 or 11.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 will be accepted for purchase, and the 9.250% Notes will be accepted on a pro rata basis and will be subject to a proration factor of approximately 87.87%. Securities tendered and not purchased on the Early Settlement Date will be returned to holders of Securities (the “Holders”) promptly after the Early Settlement Date. The consideration to be paid for the 9.250% Notes accepted for purchase on the Early Settlement Date per $1,000 principal amount of such 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 9.250% Notes accepted for purchase (the “Early Tender Premium”). All Holders of 9.250% Notes accepted for purchase will also receive accrued interest from, and including, the most recent interest payment date preceding the Early Settlement Date to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date.

Sabre GLBL expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law, to: (i) terminate any or all of the Tender Offers and not accept for purchase any of the Securities not theretofore accepted for purchase in the terminated Tender Offer or Tender Offers, (ii) waive any and all of the conditions to the Tender Offers on or prior to the time the Securities are accepted for purchase in any or all of the Tender Offers, (iii) extend the Early Tender Deadline or the time at which the Tender Offers are scheduled to expire to a later date and time, (iv) increase or decrease the maximum Aggregate Purchase Price, or (v) otherwise amend the terms and conditions of the Tender Offers.

The aggregate amount that all Holders are entitled to receive for their Securities that are accepted for purchase by Sabre GLBL in the Tender Offers, excluding accrued interest, is referred to as the “Aggregate Purchase Price.”  “Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount” refers to the maximum principal amount of Securities that can be purchased for cash in the Tender Offers without resulting in the Aggregate Purchase Price exceeding $650 million.
