Sabre (SABR) EVP Andrew Finkelstein Receives RSU Award, Surrenders Shares

What Happened

  • Andrew Finkelstein, Sabre Corp’s EVP & Chief Commercial Officer, had restricted stock units (RSUs) vest and received awards on May 15, 2026. He was issued 15,087 vested shares and a new grant of 242,424 RSUs (total 257,511 awarded). To satisfy tax withholding on vested awards, he automatically surrendered 38,092 shares at $1.59 per share, with the surrendered shares valued at about $60,757. The awards include performance-based and time-based RSUs; part of the activity reflects non‑discretionary tax withholding, not open-market selling.

Context

  • These transactions are primarily awards and tax-withholding surrenders (transaction code A for awards/grants; F for shares surrendered to satisfy tax withholding). Automatic surrenders to cover taxes are routine and do not necessarily signal a personal liquidity-driven open-market sale.
  • The new 242,424 RSU grant vests in future installments (50/50 over 2027–2028) and is not immediately liquid.
