On May 20, 2025, Sabre Corporation (“Sabre,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) issued a press release announcing that its wholly-owned subsidiary Sabre GLBL Inc. (“Sabre GLBL”) has upsized and priced an offering of $1,325,000,000 aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2030 (the “Secured Notes”), an upsize of $350,000,000 over the amount previously announced. A copy of the press release announcing the offering is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein. We intend to use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Secured Notes to prepay Sabre GLBL’s outstanding borrowings under an intercompany loan agreement with Sabre Financial Borrower, LLC (which would apply them toward full prepayment of Sabre Financial Borrower, LLC’s senior secured term loan due 2028), and remaining amounts will be used to prepay, redeem or repurchase other indebtedness in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through tender or exchange offers, or otherwise, including pursuant to the terms of the agreements governing such indebtedness. The offering of the Secured Notes is expected to close on June 4, 2025.
The Secured Notes and the related note guarantees have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities laws.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the press release dated May 20, 2025, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, the Secured Notes. No offer, solicitation or sale will be made in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Exhibit 99.1
Sabre Corporation Announces Upsize and Pricing of Senior Secured Notes Offering
SOUTHLAKE, Texas, May 20, 2025 — Sabre Corporation (“Sabre”) (Nasdaq: SABR) today priced an upsized offering by its wholly-owned subsidiary Sabre GLBL Inc. (“Sabre GLBL”) of $1,325,000,000 (upsized from $975,000,000) aggregate principal amount of 11.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 (the “Secured Notes”). The offering of the Secured Notes is expected to close on June 4, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
The Secured Notes will pay interest semi-annually in arrears, at a rate of 11.125% per year, and will mature on July 15, 2030. The Secured Notes will be guaranteed by Sabre Holdings Corporation and each subsidiary that borrows under, or guarantees, Sabre GLBL’s senior secured credit facilities (subject to certain exceptions). The Secured Notes and the related note guarantees will be secured, subject to permitted liens, by a first-priority security interest in substantially all property and assets of Sabre GLBL and the guarantors, subject to customary exclusions.
Sabre expects to use a portion of the net proceeds from the sales of the Secured Notes to prepay Sabre GLBL’s outstanding borrowings under an intercompany loan agreement with Sabre Financial Borrower, LLC (which would apply them toward full prepayment of Sabre Financial Borrower, LLC’s senior secured term loan due 2028), and remaining amounts will be used to prepay, redeem or repurchase other indebtedness in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through tender or exchange offers, or otherwise, including pursuant to the terms of the agreements governing such indebtedness. In connection with the upsize of the offering, Sabre GLBL intends to launch tender offers (the “Tender Offers”) for certain of its existing senior secured notes, subject to a maximum aggregate purchase amount of $336,375,000 (as such amount may be subsequently amended in Sabre GLBL’s sole discretion).
The Secured Notes and the related note guarantees have been offered in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Secured Notes and the related note guarantees have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. The Secured Notes and the related note guarantees may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration under, or an applicable exemption from, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Secured Notes or any other security, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which, or to any persons to whom, such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any offers of the Secured Notes were made only by means of a private offering circular.
The Tender Offers referenced in this press release do not constitute offers to buy or the solicitation of offers to sell securities in any jurisdiction or in any circumstances in which such offers are unlawful. The full details of the Tender Offers, including complete instructions on how to tender securities, are included in the offers to purchase, dated May 20, 2025 (as they may be amended or supplemented, collectively, the “Offer to Purchase”). Holders are strongly encouraged to read carefully the Offer to Purchase because it will contain important information.
