BUSINESS Overview Sabre Corporation is a Delaware corporation formed in December 2006. On March 30, 2007, Sabre Corporation acquired Sabre Holdings Corporation ("Sabre Holdings"), which is the sole subsidiary of Sabre Corporation. Sabre GLBL Inc. ("Sabre GLBL") is the principal operating subsidiary and sole direct subsidiary of Sabre Holdings. Sabre GI..BL or its direct or indirect subsidiaries conduct all of our businesses. Our principal executive offices are located at 3150 Sabre Drive, Southlake, Texas 76092. We are a leading technology solutions provider to the global travel and tourism industry. We span the breadth of the global travel ecosystem, providing key software and services to a broad range of travel suppliers and travel buyers. We connect the world's leading travel suppliers, including airlines, hotels, car rental brands, rail carriers, cruise lines and tour operators, with travel buyers in a comprehensive travel marketplace. We also offer travel suppliers an extensive suite of leading software solutions, ranging from airline and hotel reservations systems to high-value marketing and operations solutions, such as planning airline crew schedules, re-accommodating passengers during irregular flight operations and managing day-to-day hotel operatio,ns. These solutions allow our customers to market, distribute and sell their products more efficiently, manage their core operations, and deliver enhanced travel experiences. Business Segments Effective the first quarter of 2018, we operate through three business segments: Travel Network, Airline Solutions and Hospitality Solutions. In conjunction with this change, we have modified the methodology we have historically used to allocate shared corporate technology costs. Each segment now reflects a portion of our shared corporate costs that historically were not allocated to a business unit, based on relative consumption of shared technology infrastructure costs and defined revenue metrics. These changes have no impact on our consolidated results of operations, but result in a decrease of individual segment profitability only. Financial information about our business segments and geographic areas is provided in Note 16. Segment Information, to

  • Answer of Defendants Sabre Corporation and Sabre Glbl Inc
    Case 1:19-cv-01548-LPS Document 22 Filed 09/10/19 Page 1 of 35 PageID #: 61 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE ) UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ) ) Plaintiff, ) ) v. ) Civil Action No. 19-cv-01548-LPS ) SABRE CORPORATION, ) SABRE GLBL INC., ) FARELOGIX, INC., and ) SANDLER CAPITAL PARTNERS V, L.P., ) ) Defendants. ) ) ANSWER OF DEFENDANTS SABRE CORPORATION AND SABRE GLBL INC. Defendants Sabre Corporation and Sabre GLBL Inc. (together, “Sabre”) by and through their undersigned counsel, answer as follows the allegations of the Complaint filed on August 20, 2019 (the “Complaint”), by the United States (“Plaintiff”). Except for those allegations expressly admitted herein, Sabre denies each and every allegation in the Complaint. Except as noted herein, Sabre lacks knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the allegations regarding statements made in internal documents by Farelogix, Inc. (“Farelogix”), or any other allegations regarding non-public statements, commercial plans, or intentions of companies other than Sabre’s. Sabre expressly denies that Plaintiff is entitled to the relief requested or any other relief. Sabre reserves the right to amend this Answer. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT Plaintiff claims that Sabre’s acquisition of Farelogix (the “Acquisition”) is “a dominant firm’s attempt to eliminate a disruptive competitor.” Nothing could be further from the truth. Case 1:19-cv-01548-LPS Document 22 Filed 09/10/19 Page 2 of 35 PageID #: 62 First, Sabre is not dominant. It is one of three major global distribution systems (“GDSs”) in the world. In fact, it is not even the largest GDS in the world—Amadeus is the leading global GDS, and Sabre competes against it, Travelport and others to serve both airline and travel agency customers.
