Summary
Sabre Corp completed a major refinancing on September 28, 2026. Its indirect subsidiary Sabre Financial issued $1.35 billion of 9.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2032. The proceeds were used to repurchase $930.7 million of Sabre Financial's 11.125% notes due 2029 and $251.9 million of Sabre GLBL's 10.750% notes due 2029, replacing higher-coupon debt with lower-rate obligations and extending maturities to 2032.
The new notes are secured by first-priority liens on substantially all assets of Sabre Financial and the guarantors, with guarantees from certain foreign subsidiaries capped at $400 million.
The refinancing reduces Sabre's interest burden and pushes out near-term maturities, but it also introduces new covenants that restrict Sabre Financial's ability to pay dividends, which could indirectly limit dividends available to Sabre Corp common stockholders. The filing does not quantify the restrictions or state whether any dividend is currently planned. The transaction was completed through tender offers and consent solicitations, with Sabre Financial obtaining consents to eliminate substantially all restrictive covenants in the 2029 notes indenture and redeeming the remaining untendered 2029 notes at 109.250% of principal.
