On September 3, 2024, Sabre Corporation (“Sabre”) approved Ann Bruder’s ceasing to serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of Sabre, effective as of September 13, 2024. Ms. Bruder’s last day of employment with Sabre is expected to be October 31, 2024. The termination of Ms. Bruder’s employment is considered to be a qualifying termination (as defined under Sabre’s Executive Severance Plan), and in connection with the termination of her employment, Ms. Bruder is eligible to receive payments for a termination without “cause” (as defined under the Executive Severance Plan) under the terms of the Executive Severance Plan as a Level 2 employee. As a result, Ms. Bruder will be entitled to receive an amount equal to 150% of her current annual base salary and 110% of her target incentive opportunity, paid in installments over a period of 18 months following the date of termination. In addition, she will be entitled to continued medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage for her and her eligible dependents for the 18-month period following the date of termination, and senior executive level outplacement services for a period of one year; provided, however, that if she becomes re-employed and eligible to receive health insurance benefits under another employer-provided plan, the continued insurance coverage will terminate. The receipt of these items will be subject to Ms. Bruder’s execution of a general release of liability against Sabre and will be subject to compliance with applicable post-termination restrictive covenants and other obligations.
