Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain
Officers.
On July 27, 2022, the Board of Directors of Sabre Corporation ("Sabre")
appointed Mike Randolfi, age 50, as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer of Sabre, effective August 22, 2022.
Mr. Randolfi has served as Chief Financial Officer of BFA Industries, a beauty
subscription business, since April 2021. From August 2019 through April 2021, he
served as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Adtalem Global
Education Inc., a workforce solutions provider. Prior to joining Adtalem,
Mr. Randolfi served as the Chief Financial Officer of Groupon, Inc. from April
2016 to August 2019. Prior to Groupon, Mr. Randolfi served as Chief Financial
Officer of Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. from March 2013 until November 2015 (when he
departed following its acquisition by Expedia, Inc.). Prior to Orbitz,
Mr. Randolfi spent fourteen years with Delta Airlines in a variety of executive
financial roles culminating in Senior Vice President and Controller.
Mr. Randolfi received a Master of Business Administration from Emory University
and his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of South Florida. There are
no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Randolfi and any other persons
pursuant to which Mr. Randolfi has been appointed as Sabre's Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer. There is no family relationship between
Mr. Randolfi and any director, executive officer, or person nominated or chosen
by Sabre to become a director or executive officer of Sabre. Sabre has not
entered into any transactions with Mr. Randolfi that would require disclosure
pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act.
The terms of Mr. Randolfi's employment are set forth in his offer letter (the
"Offer Letter"), a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.1. Under the terms of
the Offer Letter, Mr. Randolfi's initial base salary is $650,000 per year, and
he will receive a one-time sign-on bonus of $250,000, subject to repayment in
certain circumstances. As a participant in Sabre's annual incentive plan,
Mr. Randolfi will be eligible for an annual incentive payment, and his target
bonus under the plan has been set at 90% of his base salary (prorated for 2022).
He will receive an initial equity grant valued at $1,500,000, delivered in 50%
restricted stock units and 50% in performance-based restricted stock units. The
restricted stock unit award will vest as to one-third of the shares of Sabre
common stock subject to such award on the anniversary of the grant date in each
of calendar years 2023, 2024 and 2025, subject to his continued employment
through each vesting date. The performance-based restricted stock units are to
be earned on March 15, 2025, subject to his continued employment through such
date, with the potential to earn up to a maximum of 200% of the target number of
performance-based restricted stock units based on Sabre's actual performance
against the Adjusted Free Cash Flow metric during the three-year performance
period, with a TSR modifier that will increase or decrease the number of PSUs
earned. Subject to approval of Sabre's Board of Directors or Compensation
Committee, he will also be eligible to receive an equity award on or about
March 15, 2023, based on his position's target award value of up to $1,500,000.
Mr. Randolfi will be eligible to participate in Sabre's employee benefit plans,
policies and other compensation and perquisite programs, as well as in Sabre's
Executive Severance Plan as a Level 2 employee. He is also subject to the terms
of an Executive Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenants Agreement. The
foregoing is only a brief description of the material terms of the Offer Letter,
does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of
the parties, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Offer Letter
included as Exhibit 10.1.
On July 27, 2022, the Board of Directors of Sabre also approved Doug Barnett's
stepping down as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Sabre,
effective August 22, 2022, and Wade Jones' stepping down as Executive Vice
President and Chief Product Officer, effective July 31, 2022. Messrs. Barnett's
and Jones' last days of employment with Sabre are expected to be October 31,
2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively. In connection with the termination of
their employment, Messrs. Barnett and Jones will each be eligible to receive
payments for a termination without cause under the terms of the Sabre
Corporation Executive Severance Plan as Level 2 employees. As a result, each of
Messrs. Barnett and Jones will be entitled to receive an amount equal to 150% of
his current annual base salary and 110% of his target incentive opportunity for
2021, paid in installments over a period of 18 months following the date of
termination. In addition, each of them will be entitled to continued medical,
dental, and vision insurance coverage for the participant and his or her
eligible dependents for the 18-month period following the date of termination,
and senior executive level outplacement services for a period of one year;
provided, however, that if he becomes re-employed and eligible to receive health
insurance benefits under another employer-provided plan, the continued insurance
coverage will terminate. The receipt of these items will be subject to Messrs.
Barnett's and Jones' execution of a general release of liability against Sabre
and will be subject to compliance with applicable post-termination restrictive
covenants and other obligations.
Copies of press releases announcing these items are included as Exhibit 99.1 and
Exhibit 99.2, respectively.
