Release Details

SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Nov. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabre Corporation (NASDAQ: SABR) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a share repurchase program to purchase up to an aggregate of $100 million of shares of Sabre's common stock. The program will expire on December 31, 2016.

"With leverage near the bottom of our targeted range and expectations for continued strong growth in free cash flow, we believe the return of capital through an opportunistic share repurchase program represents an attractive opportunity to enhance long-term shareholder value," said Rick Simonson, Sabre's chief financial officer.

Repurchases under the program may take place in the open market or privately negotiated transactions, including but not limited to accelerated share repurchase transactions, derivative transactions and under Rule 10b5-1 plans.
