| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On August 19, 2021, Sabre Corporation, (“Sabre”) established an at the market equity distribution program (the “ATM Program”) by entering into a sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., and Mizuho Securities USA LLC, each acting as a sales agent for Sabre (each, a “Sales Agent” and, collectively, the “Sales Agents”), pursuant to which Sabre may issue and sell, from time to time, shares (“Shares”) of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), in “at the market” offerings having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $300,000,000. Sabre is not obligated to sell any Shares under the Sales Agreement, and may at any time suspend offers under the Sales Agreement or terminate the Sales Agreement. The applicable Sales Agent will be entitled to compensation as provided under the terms of the Sales Agreement.
Sabre made certain customary representations, warranties and covenants concerning Sabre and the Common Stock in the Sales Agreement and agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to the Sales Agents against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Sabre currently intends to use the net proceeds, after deducting the Sales Agents’ commissions and Sabre’s offering expenses, that it receives upon the issuance and sale of Shares to or through the Sales Agents for general corporate purposes.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Sales Agents will use their commercially reasonable efforts to sell, on Sabre’s behalf, the Shares that may be offered by Sabre from time to time under the Sales Agreement. The sales, if any, of the Shares made under the Sales Agreement will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, Sabre may also sell Shares to any Sales Agent as principal for its own account. If Sabre sells Shares to any Sales Agent as principal, it will enter into a separate terms agreement setting forth the terms of such transaction with the applicable Sales Agent. Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by Sabre from time to time.
The Shares will be sold pursuant to Sabre’s prospectus supplement, dated August 19, 2021 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on such date and Sabre’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-255669). The above description of the Sales Agreement does not purport to be a complete statement of the parties’ rights and obligations under the Sales Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the form of Sales Agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sales would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
