Sabre Corp 8-K

What Happened

• Sabre Corporation (SABR) announced in an 8-K (filed May 1, 2026) that its stockholders approved two equity compensation plans at the 2026 Annual Meeting: the 2026 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan and the 2026 Director Equity Compensation Plan. Both plans were adopted by the Board in March 2026, and each became effective April 29, 2026.
• The 2026 Omnibus Plan allows eligible employees and other participants to receive awards such as cash incentive awards, incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock awards, and restricted stock units (RSUs). The 2026 Director Plan allows eligible directors to receive cash awards, non-qualified stock options, SARs, restricted stock awards, and RSUs.
• Material terms of each plan are described in Sabre’s Proxy Statement filed March 19, 2026, and the full plan texts are included as exhibits to the 8-K.
