Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On May 18, 2026, Sabre GLBL Inc. (“Sabre GLBL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sabre Corporation (“Sabre”), issued $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2031 (the “New Exchangeable Notes”) under an indenture, dated May 18, 2026 (the “New Exchangeable Notes Indenture”), among Sabre GLBL, as issuer, and Sabre and Sabre Holdings Corporation (“Sabre Holdings”), as guarantors, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee.

The New Exchangeable Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of Sabre GLBL and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Sabre and Sabre Holdings. The New Exchangeable Notes will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2026, at a rate of 7.00% per year, and will mature on May 15, 2031, unless earlier repurchased or exchanged. Before November 15, 2030, holders have the right to exchange their New Exchangeable Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. From and after November 15, 2030, holders may exchange their New Exchangeable Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before May 15, 2031. Sabre GLBL will have the right to elect to settle exchanges in cash, shares of Sabre’s common stock or in a combination of cash and Sabre’s common stock at Sabre GLBL’s election. The initial exchange rate per $1,000 principal amount of New Exchangeable Notes is 447.2272 shares of Sabre’s common stock, which represents an initial exchange price of approximately $2.24 per share of Sabre’s common stock. The exchange rate and exchange price are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. The New Exchangeable Notes will not be redeemable prior to May 21, 2029. On or after May 21, 2029, Sabre GLBL may redeem for cash all or any portion of the New Exchangeable Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the New Exchangeable Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, if the last reported sale price of Sabre’s common stock exceeds 130% of the exchange price then in effect for a specified period of time ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date Sabre GLBL provides the notice of redemption, and subject to the other limitations and conditions set forth in the New Exchangeable Note Indenture.

Holders of New Exchangeable Notes may require Sabre GLBL to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their New Exchangeable Notes on May 15, 2029, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the New Exchangeable Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. In addition, upon any future occurrence of a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the New Exchangeable Notes Indenture), holders may require Sabre GLBL to repurchase their New Exchangeable Notes at a price equal to principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. If a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the New Exchangeable Notes Indenture) occurs with respect to any New Exchangeable Note and the exchange date for the exchange of such New Exchangeable Note occurs during the related “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Exchange Period” (as defined in the New Exchangeable Notes Indenture), then, subject to the provisions set forth in the New Exchangeable Notes Indenture, the exchange rate applicable to such exchange will be increased by a number of shares set forth in the table contained in the New Exchangeable Notes Indenture.

This description of the New Exchangeable Notes Indenture and the New Exchangeable Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the New Exchangeable Notes Indenture and the form of the New Exchangeable Notes, which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The disclosure set forth under Item 1.01 above is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information set forth in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

The New Exchangeable Notes were issued by Sabre GLBL in a private placement in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Sabre relied on this exemption from registration based in part on representations made by the investors purchasing the New Exchangeable Notes in the Purchase Agreements (as defined below) governing the issuance. At the initial

exchange rate, if all New Exchangeable Notes were exchanged and settled solely through delivery of shares of common stock, this would result in the issuance of 67,084,080 shares of Sabre’s common stock (or 87,209,295 shares if the exchange rate were increased by the maximum potential amount upon the occurrence of a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the New Exchangeable Notes Indenture)). Additional information pertaining to the New Exchangeable Notes and the shares of Sabre’s common stock issuable upon exchange of the New Exchangeable Notes is contained in Item 1.01 above and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On May 13, 2026, Sabre, Sabre Holdings and Sabre GLBL entered into privately-negotiated purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with certain investors who are institutional “accredited investors” (within the meaning of Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act) and “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act). Certain of these investors are existing stockholders of Sabre.

Sabre used a portion of the net proceeds of the issuance of the New Exchangeable Notes to fund the repurchase of $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Sabre GLBL’s outstanding 7.32% exchangeable senior notes due 2026 (the “Existing Exchangeable Notes”), at par plus accrued and unpaid interest. Sabre intends to use the remaining net proceeds to repay, repurchase or otherwise retire from time to time the remaining $50.0 million of Existing Exchangeable Notes outstanding.

On May 14, 2026, Sabre issued a press release announcing entry into the Purchase Agreements (as defined below). A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01.
