Subsequent Events	15. Subsequent Events Initial Public Offering On April 23, 2014, we closed our initial public offering of our common stock in which we sold 39,200,000 shares and on April 25, 2014, the underwriters exercised in full their overallotment option which resulted in the sale of an additional 5,880,000 shares of our common stock. Our shares of common stock were sold at an initial public offering price of $16.00 per share, which generated $677 million of net proceeds from the offering after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We used the net proceeds from this offering to repay (i) $296 million aggregate principal amount of our Term Loan C and (ii) $320 million aggregate principal amount of our 2019 Notes at a redemption price of 108.5% of the principal amount, which represents the maximum amount of the contingent call option exercisable in the event of an equity offering (see Note 7, Debt). The Term Loan C prepayment occurred in two installments, the first prepayment of $207 million occurred on April 24, 2014 and the second prepayment of $90 million occurred on April 29, 2014. The redemption of $320 million of our 2019 Notes occurred on May 7, 2014. We also used the net proceeds from our offering to pay the $27 million redemption premium and $13 million in accrued but unpaid interest on the 2019 Notes. We used the remaining portion of the net proceeds from our offering to pay a $21 million fee, in the aggregate, to TPG and Silver Lake pursuant to a management services agreement, which was thereafter terminated. Redemption of Preferred Stock Prior to the closing of our initial public offering, we amended our Certificate of Incorporation and exercised our right to redeem all of our Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock. The amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation modified the redemption feature of the Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock to allow for settlement using cash, shares of our common stock or a mix of cash and shares of our common stock. On April 23, 2014, we redeemed all of our outstanding shares of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock in exchange for 40,343,529 shares of our common stock, which were delivered pro rata to the holders thereof concurrently with the closing of our initial public offering. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan On March 20, 2014, our board of directors adopted the Sabre Corporation 2014 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2014 Omnibus Plan”), which permits the grant of cash and equity and equity-based incentive awards. Our employees and the non-employee members of our board of directors and those of our subsidiaries are eligible to receive awards under the 2014 Omnibus Plan. On the effective date of our initial public offering, under the 2014 Omnibus Plan, we granted time-based options to purchase 1,541,627 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $16.68 per share and a total of 2,298,478 shares of performance-based and time-based restricted stock units. Cancellation of Stock-Based Awards In April 2014, we cancelled all outstanding stock-based awards issued under the Travelocity.com LLC Stock Option Grant Agreements, the Travelocity Equity 2012 plan and the Sovereign Holdings, Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan for Travelocity’s CEO—Stock Settled SARs with Respect to Travelocity Equity, terminated all related plans and award agreements, and recorded stock compensation expense of $7 million, representing the remaining unrecognized compensation expense of the awards at the cancellation date. Tax Receivable Agreement Immediately prior to the closing of our initial public offering, we entered into an income tax receivable agreement (“TRA”) that provides those stockholders and equity award holders that were our stockholders and equity award holders, respectively, immediately prior to the closing of our initial public offering (collectively, the “Existing Stockholders”) the right to receive future payments from us of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal income tax that we and our subsidiaries realize as a result of the utilization of certain tax assets attributable to periods prior to our initial public offering, including federal net operating losses, capital losses and the ability to realize tax amortization of certain intangible assets (collectively, the “Pre-IPO Tax Assets”). Upon the effective date of the TRA, we expect to recognize a liability of between $310 million and $350 million after considering the valuation allowance of approximately $72 million recorded against the Pre-IPO Tax Assets. The TRA will be accounted for as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and an increase to other noncurrent liabilities.
