Analysis · SABR · Technology
A major debt refinancing is underway at Sabre: a $1.35 billion senior secured notes offering (upsized from $1.1 billion) at 9.875% due 2032, paired with tender offers to buy back up to $1.25 billion of higher-coupon existing notes (11.125% due 2029, 10.750% due 2029/2030, 11.125% due 2030). The consent solicitation seeks to strip restrictive covenants from the 2029 notes. This extends Sabre's maturity runway and locks in a lower coupon than the notes being retired, but the $250 million upsize and covenant-stripping signal that the company is aggressively managing a heavy debt load. The transaction is expected to close September 28, 2026.
