Sabre sells $150.0 million of 7.00% exchangeable notes due 2031
Sabre GLBL Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sabre Corporation, issued $150.0 million of 7.00% Exchangeable Senior Notes due May 15, 2031 on May 18, 2026, in a private placement guaranteed by Sabre and Sabre Holdings. Sabre used part of the proceeds to repurchase $100.0 million of its 7.32% exchangeable notes due 2026 and intends to use the remaining proceeds to retire the other $50.0 million, which the company says results in no incremental indebtedness. Shareholders could face dilution if the notes are exchanged for stock, and the company expects hedging activity by initial holders could weigh on the share price.
