Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 30, 2015, a conditional notice of redemption of the 8.50% senior secured notes due 2019 (the "2019 Notes") issued by Sabre GLBL Inc. ("Sabre GLBL"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sabre Corporation ("Sabre," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our"), was delivered to the holders thereof, notifying those holders of the redemption of the entire outstanding $480 million aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes on April 29, 2015 (the "Redemption Date") pursuant to the terms of the indenture dated as of May 9, 2012 (the "2019 Notes Indenture"), as supplemented and amended from time to time, among Sabre GLBL, the guarantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. The redemption price for the 2019 Notes (the "Redemption Price") is equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to but excluding the Redemption Date, plus the Applicable Premium (as defined in the 2019 Notes Indenture). The 2019 Notes Indenture is filed as Exhibit 4.5 to our Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 21, 2014.
Sabre GLBL’s obligation to pay the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date is conditioned upon the consummation, on or prior to the Redemption Date, of an offering of Sabre GLBL’s senior secured notes that generates sufficient net cash proceeds to permit Sabre GLBL to redeem all of the outstanding 2019 Notes (the "Offering"), in accordance with the terms of the 2019 Notes Indenture (the "Redemption Condition"). If the Redemption Condition has not been satisfied on or prior to April 29, 2015, the notice of redemption shall be automatically revoked and of no further effect. On the date of the closing of the Offering, Sabre GLBL will deposit an amount greater than or equal to the Redemption Price, which we currently anticipate to be a maximum of approximately $531 million, with the trustee for the 2019 Notes. Sabre GLBL has provided the trustee with instructions to apply the deposit to redeem the 2019 Notes on the Redemption Date, subject to the Redemption Condition. Pursuant to those actions, we anticipate that the 2019 Notes Indenture will be satisfied and discharged in accordance with its terms and that Sabre GLBL and the guarantors party thereto will be released from their obligations with respect to the 2019 Notes Indenture and the 2019 Notes, except with respect to those provisions of the 2019 Notes Indenture that by their terms survive the satisfaction and discharge.
