                           FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

    This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus include
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of
historical fact contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including statements regarding our
competitive strengths, business strategy, future financial position, budgets,
projected costs and plans and objectives of management are forward-looking
statements. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified
by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "could,"
"project," "potential," "plan," "forecasts," "expect," "should," "intend,"
"estimate," "anticipate," "believe," "continue" or similar terminology. The
expectations reflected in forward-looking statements may prove to be incorrect.
Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including but not
limited to:

    - risks associated with competition from established and emerging travel
      distribution channels and competitors, many of which are well funded and
      have major travel suppliers as significant shareholders;

    - risks associated with travel distribution industry consolidation and
      increased competition for travel agency subscribers, which may result in
      increased expenses, reduced revenue and market position, and, if we
      increase our borrowings to finance such increased expenses, greater
      financial leverage;

    - risks that airlines that are divesting their ownership of global
      distribution systems might limit their participation in our travel
      marketing and distribution services;

    - risks that regulatory developments could limit our ability to compete;

    - risks that rapid technological changes and new distribution channels may
      render our technology obsolete or decrease the attractiveness of our
      services to customers;

    - risks that our systems may suffer failures, capacity constraints and
      business interruptions, which could increase our operating costs and cause
      us to lose customers;

    - risks that our revenues are highly dependent on the travel and
      transportation industries and particularly on the airlines;

    - risks associated with the trade barriers outside of North America that
      limit our ability to compete;

    - risks inherent in international operations, such as risks of currency
      exchange rate fluctuations, local economic and political conditions,
      restrictive governmental actions, such as trade protection measures,
      including export duties and quotas and custom duties and tariffs, changes
      in legal or regulatory requirements, import or export licensing
      requirements, limitations on the repatriation of funds, difficulty in
      obtaining distribution and support services in foreign countries,
      nationalization, different accounting practices and potentially longer
      payment cycles, increased seasonal reductions in business activity, higher
      costs of doing business, more stringent consumer protection laws and
      restrictions on pricing or discounts, lack of or the failure to implement
      the appropriate infrastructure to support our technology, disruptions of
      capital and trading markets, laws and policies of the United States
      affecting trade, foreign investment, loans and taxes; and

    - risks associated with our ability to successfully integrate business
      combinations and strategic alliances, such as the GetThere acquisition,
      and to successfully migrate our information technology operations to EDS.

    All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are
expressly qualified in their entirety by factors that could cause our actual
results to differ materially from our expectations. We undertake no obligation
to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements.

                                    SUMMARY

    IN THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT AND THE ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS, THE WORDS
"SABRE," "COMPANY," "WE," "OUR," "OURS," AND "US" REFER TO SABRE HOLDINGS
CORPORATION AND ITS CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED OR THE
CONTEXT OTHERWISE REQUIRES. THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY CONTAINS BASIC INFORMATION
ABOUT THIS OFFERING. IT MAY NOT CONTAIN ALL THE INFORMATION THAT IS IMPORTANT TO
YOU. THE "DESCRIPTION OF NOTES" SECTION OF THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT AND THE
"DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES" SECTION IN THE ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS CONTAIN
MORE DETAILED INFORMATION REGARDING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES.

                                     SABRE

    We are a world leader in the electronic distribution of travel through our
SABRE computer reservations system. We also engage in business-to-consumer and
business-to-business travel services and distribution through our
Travelocity.com and GetThere subsidiaries. In addition, we are a leading
provider of software solutions to the travel and transportation industries.
Before we closed the Electronic Data Systems Corporation, or EDS, transaction
effective as of July 1, 2001, as described in "Recent Developments--EDS
Transaction," we were also a leading provider of information technology
outsourcing services to the travel and transportation industries.

    We are a holding company incorporated in Delaware on June 25, 1996. As the
result of a reorganization completed on July 2, 1996, we became the successor to
the businesses of The Sabre Group which were formerly operated as divisions or
subsidiaries of AMR Corporation, or AMR, or its operating subsidiary, American
Airlines, Inc., or American Airlines. On October 17, 1996, we completed an
initial public offering of 23,230,000 shares of our Class A common stock,
representing approximately 17.8% of the economic interest of our outstanding
common equity. On March 15, 2000, AMR distributed its entire remaining ownership
stake in our company to its stockholders and, as a result, AMR no longer has any
ownership interest in us.

    Our principal executive offices are located at 4255 Amon Carter Boulevard,
Fort Worth, Texas 76155, our telephone number is (817) 963-6400.

EDS TRANSACTION

    On March 14, 2001, we entered into agreements with EDS, which provide for:

    - the sale of our information technology outsourcing business and
      information technology infrastructure assets and associated real estate to
      EDS,

    - an information technology outsourcing agreement for EDS to manage our
      information technology systems for 10 years, and

    - marketing agreements for us and EDS to jointly market information
      technology services and software solutions to the travel and
      transportation industries.

    Effective on July 1, 2001, we completed the sale of our information
technology outsourcing business contracts, Web hosting contracts, and
information technology infrastructure assets and associated real estate to EDS
for approximately $661 million in cash. Up to approximately $31 million of this
amount is contingently refundable to EDS based, in part, upon the amount of
revenues received by EDS from US Airways under its outsourcing contract during
the 30 months following the closing of the EDS transaction. In addition, we may
receive aggregate additional payments from EDS for these assets ranging from
$6 million to $25 million on April 15, 2003 and 2004, depending on the amount of
revenues received by EDS under other airline outsourcing contracts. On July 2,
2001, we repaid $710 million of existing short-term borrowings using proceeds
from the EDS transaction and existing cash.

                                      S-1

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2001

    Our net earnings, including special items described below, for the second
quarter ended June 30, 2001, were $27.7 million ($0.20 per diluted share),
compared to $63.4 million ($0.46 per diluted share) for the same quarter of
2000.

    Special items in the second quarter of 2001 on a pre-tax basis include:

    - amortization expense of $4.1 million related to six million options issued
      to US Airways as part of the long-term technology agreement signed in
      1997;

    - expense of $72.3 million related to amortization of goodwill and other
      intangibles and the recognition of stock compensation expense arising from
      the merger of Travelocity.com, Inc. and Preview Travel, and the
      acquisitions of GetThere Inc., Gradient Solutions Limited, the Sabre
      Pacific Marketing Company and a 51% interest in Dillon Communication
      Systems GmbH; and

    - a net gain of $2.5 million related to Travelocity.com's ownership of
      warrants to acquire equity interests in Hotel Reservations Network.

    Our net earnings for the second quarter 2001, excluding the special items,
were $90.4 million, a growth of 19.2%, compared to $75.9 million for the same
quarter of 2000.

    Including the special items, our income from continuing operations in the
second quarter ended June 30, 2001 was $5.1 million ($0.04 per diluted share)
compared to $47.5 million ($0.37 per diluted share) for the second quarter of
2000.

    Our income from continuing operations, excluding the special items described
above, in the second quarter ended June 30, 2001, was $65.2 million ($0.48 per
diluted share), compared to $62.3 million ($0.48 per diluted share) for the same
quarter of 2000.

    Our income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes for
the second quarter of 2001, excluding such special items, was $100.1 million, a
growth of 1.7% compared to $98.3 million for the same quarter in 2000.

    Our total revenues from continuing operations for the second quarter ended
June 30, 2001 were $582.0 million, up 16.1% from $501.4 million for the same
quarter of 2000. Revenue growth was affected by the slowdown in business travel
as a result of the U.S. economic downturn.

    Our operating income from continuing operations for the second quarter,
excluding the special items discussed above, was $110.7 million, up 13.9% from
$97.2 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2000. Including special items
discussed above, our operating income from continuing operations for the second
quarter was $38.4 million, down 48.6% from $74.9 million for the same quarter of
2000.

    As of June 30, 2001, we had $396.1 million of cash and marketable
securities, of which $109.5 million were held on behalf of Travelocity.com and
to which we do not have ready access. Our total debt was $859 million as of
June 30, 2001, which was lowered to $149 million on July 2, 2001 as a result of
using the proceeds of the EDS transaction and existing cash to pay down debt. On
July 20, 2001, we further reduced our debt by $70 million using our existing
cash to repay borrowings made under our revolving credit facility. Capital
spending for the second quarter of 2001 was $57.7 million compared to
$51.8 million in the second quarter of 2000. We anticipate that capital spending
for 2001 will be in the range of $140 million to $160 million, compared to
$190.1 million in 2000.

    Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles relating to acquisitions
totaled $69.9 million for the second quarter of 2001. At June 30, 2001, goodwill
associated with the Preview Travel merger in 2000 totaled $252 million, which we
are amortizing over three years; goodwill in connection with the acquisitions in
2000 of Dillon Communication Systems and Gradient Solutions was $62 million,
which we are amortizing over a five-year period; goodwill and other intangibles
related to the GetThere

                                      S-2

acquisition in 2000 totaled approximately $683 million, which we are amortizing
over a four-year period; and goodwill associated with the acquisition of Sabre
Pacific in 2001 was $44 million, which we are amortizing over a seven-year
period.

Notes Offered..........................  $        in principal amount of % Notes due .

Maturity Date..........................

Issue Price............................  % of par plus accrued interest, if any, from the issue
                                             date of the notes.

Interest Rate..........................  % per year.

Interest Payment Dates.................  and         , beginning on         , 2002. Interest will
                                         accrue from the issue date of the notes.

Ranking................................  The notes are unsecured unsubordinated obligations and
                                         will rank equally with all of our other unsecured
                                         unsubordinated indebtedness. The notes will be
                                         effectively subordinated to all liabilities of our
                                         subsidiaries. At June 30, 2001 our subsidiaries had no
                                         indebtedness other than trade payables incurred in the
                                         ordinary course of business and approximately

                                         Limited. Additionally, the notes are effectively
                                         subordinated to any secured indebtedness to the extent
                                         of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.
                                         At June 30, 2001, we had no secured indebtedness. We
                                         will be permitted to incur secured indebtedness, subject
                                         to the limitations under the terms of the indenture.

Optional Redemption....................  We may redeem some or all of the notes at any time at
                                         the redemption price described in "Description of
                                         Notes--Optional Redemption" in this prospectus
                                         supplement, plus accrued interest to the date of
                                         redemption.

Certain Covenants......................  The indenture governing the notes will contain covenants
                                         that limit our ability and our subsidiaries' ability to:

                                         -  incur liens on our assets to secure debt;

                                         -  enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions;

                                         -  merge or consolidate with another company; and

                      SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

    The following table presents our historical consolidated financial data.
During 2000, we acquired Preview Travel, Gradient Solutions Limited, GetThere
and a 51% ownership interest in Dillon Communication Systems GmbH. Those
acquisitions affect the comparability of the data presented. Effective on
July 1, 2001, we completed the sale of our information technology outsourcing
business to EDS. The results of operations of the outsourcing business have been
reclassified and presented as income from discontinued operations, net, for
2000, 1999 and 1998 and the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. Balance
sheet and cash flow information for 2000, 1999 and 1998 and the three months
ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 have not been reclassified to present the
outsourcing business as a discontinued operation, as permitted by generally
accepted accounting principles. You should read the summary consolidated
financial data presented below in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements, accompanying notes and Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which are included in this
prospectus supplement and are incorporated by reference in the accompanying
prospectus. The financial data for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and
2000 is derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

------------------------

(1) 2001 and 2000 results of operations were impacted by our merger and
    acquisition activities and the related goodwill amortization expense
    associated with those transactions. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial
    Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
    and Results of Operations for additional information regarding mergers and
    acquisitions and the impact on our financial condition and results of
    operations. The results of operation also do not reflect the impact on
    continuing operations of some of the selling, general and administrative
    costs which historically have been allocated to the discontinued operations,
    but which may still be incurred as part of the continuing operations in the
    future. This amount is currently not estimable.

(2) We have had significant transactions with AMR and American Airlines. The
    terms of many of the agreements with AMR and its affiliates were revised in
    connection with AMR's divestiture of its entire ownership interest in us in
    the first quarter of 2000. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial
    Statements.

(3) Effective July 1, 2001, we completed the sale of our information technology
    outsourcing business and information technology infrastructure assets and
    associated real estate to EDS. We also entered into agreements with EDS for
    (i) EDS to manage our information technology systems for 10 years and
    (ii) EDS and us to jointly market certain information technology services
    and software solutions to the travel and transportation industries. See
    Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The results of operations
    of the outsourcing business have been reclassified and presented as income
    from discontinued operations, net, for 2000, 1999 and 1998 and the three
    months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. Balance sheet and cash flow
    information (including capital expenditures as presented in the accompanying
    table) for 2000, 1999 and 1998 and the three months ended March 31, 2001 and
    2000 have not been reclassified to present the outsourcing business as a
    discontinued operation, as permitted by generally accepted accounting
    principles.

(4) On January 1, 2001, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
    No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
    ("FAS 133") as amended by FAS 137 and FAS 138. Accordingly, the fair market
    value of our derivative instruments held as of January 1, 2001, including
    foreign currency forwards, interest rate/foreign currency swap contracts and
    warrants, which were not designated as hedges under FAS 133, was recorded,
    net of minority interest and applicable income taxes, as a cumulative effect
    of a change in accounting method.

(5) Computer reservation system reservations for which we collect a booking fee.

                                      S-6

(6) Includes direct reservations plus reservations processed by joint venture
    partners using the SABRE system.

(7) Represents depreciation and amortization expense included in income from
    continuing operations.

(8) Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization from
    continuing operations (known as EBITDA) consists of the sum of income from
    continuing operations before provision for income taxes, net interest
    expense, depreciation and amortization and other income (expense), net.
    EBITDA is not a measure of income or cash flows in accordance with generally
    accepted accounting principles, but is a supplemental financial indicator as
    to our ability to service or incur debt. EBITDA is not presented as an
    indicator of cash available for discretionary spending. EBITDA may not be
    comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA
    should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income,
    operating cash flow or any other measure of financial performance prepared
    in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure
    of our profitability or liquidity. EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing
    EBITDA by revenues from continuing operations for the applicable period.

(9) For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings
    consist of the sum of income from continuing operations before income taxes
    and the cumulative effect of change in accounting method, interest expense
    and the portion of rent expense deemed to represent interest. Fixed charges
    consist of interest incurred, whether expensed or capitalized, including
    amortization of debt issuance costs, if applicable, and the portion of rent
    expense deemed to represent interest. Pro forma ratios of earnings to fixed
    charges have been prepared as if the EDS transaction, the repayment of
    borrowings using proceeds from the EDS transaction, existing cash balances,
    and the offering of the notes had occurred at the beginning of the periods
    indicated below. The pro forma ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the
    three months ended March 31, 2001 was 3.13. Pro forma earnings for the year
    ended December 31, 2000 were inadequate to cover pro forma fixed charges by
    $12.7 million.

                                  RISK FACTORS

    Risks associated with an investment in the notes, and with achievement of
our forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement include, but are
not limited to, the risk factors described below. Any of the risk factors
described below could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition or results of operations. We may not succeed in addressing these
challenges and risks.

WE FACE COMPETITION FROM ESTABLISHED AND EMERGING TRAVEL DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS.
MANY OF OUR COMPETITORS IN THE TRAVEL MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION BUSINESS ARE
WELL-FUNDED AND HAVE MAJOR TRAVEL SUPPLIERS AS SIGNIFICANT SHAREHOLDERS.

    Our travel marketing and distribution business includes channels of
distribution that target the travel agency, business-to-business and
business-to-consumer segments of the global travel distribution market. In all
of these distribution channels, we face significant competitors in the travel
marketing and distribution business. In the travel agency channel, our SABRE
global distribution system competes primarily against other large and
well-established global distribution systems, including those operated by
Amadeus Global Travel Distribution SA, Galileo International Inc. and Worldspan,
L.P. Additionally, we may face increased competition as some of our competitors
consolidate with each other or with travel suppliers. For example, Cendant
Corporation, a hotel and rental car supplier, announced on June 18, 2001 that it
had entered into an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of
Galileo and is also reported to be in preliminary negotiations to acquire
Worldspan. In the event that airlines cease to own and market either of Galileo
or Worldspan, those entities would no longer be subject to computer reservation
system regulations and SABRE would no longer be the only global distribution
system in which no airline is a significant owner. In addition, we face
competition in the travel agency channel from travel suppliers that distribute
directly to travel agencies and from non-global distribution system companies.
In the business-to-business channel, our GetThere suite of products competes not
only against similar products offered by Amadeus, Galileo and Worldspan, but
also with products offered by new competitors, including Oracle and SAP. Some of
these competitors effectively market business travel systems that are bundled
with financial and other non-travel software systems that are not offered by us.
In the business-to-consumer channel, our Travelocity.com product offering
competes not only against similar products offered by Amadeus, Galileo and
Worldspan, but also with a large number of travel Web sites, including those
operated by travel suppliers and by Expedia.com and Priceline.com. Airlines and
other travel suppliers have significant ownership stakes in some of these
competitors. In addition, various airlines have recently established their own
travel distribution Web sites, and several have created or have announced plans
to create multi-airline travel distribution Web sites (such as Orbitz, which has
recently launched in the United States, and Opodo, which is scheduled for launch
in Europe). Although government authorities in some jurisdictions are examining
whether the content and features made available through multi-airline Web sites
by their owner airlines must also be made available to competitor Web sites, it
is uncertain whether the various governments will act to require carriers owning
multi-carrier sites to treat competing sites in a fair and non-discriminatory
way.

    Furthermore, many travel suppliers offer lower prices when their products
and services are purchased directly from the supplier, such as through its own
Web site, than when they are offered by us. Consolidation among travel
suppliers, including airline mergers and alliances, may increase competition
from these supplier distribution channels.

TRAVEL DISTRIBUTION INDUSTRY CONSOLIDATION AND INCREASED COMPETITION FOR TRAVEL
AGENCY SUBSCRIBERS MAY RESULT IN INCREASED EXPENSES, REDUCED REVENUE AND MARKET
POSITION, AND GREATER FINANCIAL LEVERAGE.

    The absolute and relative size of our travel agency subscriber base is
important to our success. Travel suppliers have reduced commissions paid to
travel agencies, which has forced some smaller

                                      S-8

travel agencies to close or to combine with larger agencies. Although we have a
leading share of the large travel agency subscriber base, competition is
particularly intense among global distribution systems for travel agency
subscribers. The potential for us to add new travel agency subscribers exists
primarily outside of North America. Some of our competitors aggressively pay
economic incentives to travel agencies to obtain business. New ownership or
potential consolidation of existing global distribution systems may result in
increased competition. For example, Cendant Corporation, a hotel and rental car
supplier, announced on June 18, 2001 that it had entered into an agreement to
acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Galileo. In order to compete
effectively, we may need to increase incentives, increase spending on marketing
or product development, or make significant investments to purchase strategic
assets. If we do not retain subscribers representing a significant percentage of
historic bookings through our global distribution system, our booking fee
revenues would decrease.

AIRLINES THAT ARE DIVESTING THEIR OWNERSHIP OF GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS MIGHT
LIMIT THEIR PARTICIPATION IN OUR TRAVEL MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION SERVICES.

    Rules in the U.S., Canada and the European Union govern "computer
reservation systems" such as our global distribution system. Airlines that
divest their ownership of computer reservation systems (such as American
Airlines, British Airways, US Airways and Continental Airlines) may not be
subject to the rules in these jurisdictions, which would otherwise require them
to participate in our global distribution system in a non-discriminatory manner.
We could be adversely affected by a decision by one or more large airlines to
discontinue or to lower their level of participation in our global distribution
system. Consolidation among travel suppliers, including airline mergers, may
increase competition from these supplier distribution channels.

REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS COULD LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE.

    The U.S. Department of Transportation is currently engaged in a
comprehensive review of its rules governing computer reservation systems such as
our global distribution system. It is unclear at this time when the Department
of Transportation will complete its review and what changes, if any, will be
made to the U.S. rules. We could be adversely affected if the U.S. rules are
retained as to traditional global distribution systems used by travel agencies
but are not applied to business-to-consumer travel distribution Web sites owned
by more than one airline. We could also be adversely affected if changes to the
U.S. rules increase our cost of doing business, weaken the non-discriminatory
participation rules to allow one or more large airlines to discontinue or to
lower its level of participation in our global distribution system, or cause us
to be subject to rules that do not apply to our travel marketing and
distribution competitors.

RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES AND NEW DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS MAY RENDER OUR
TECHNOLOGY OBSOLETE OR DECREASE THE ATTRACTIVENESS OF OUR SERVICES TO CUSTOMERS.

    New distribution channels and technology in the travel marketing and
distribution business and the airline solutions business, such as the Internet,
computer online services, private networks, cellular telephones and other
wireless communications devices, are rapidly emerging. Our ability to compete in
the travel marketing and distribution business and airline solutions business,
and our future results, depend in part on our ability to make timely and
cost-effective enhancements and additions to our technology and to introduce new
products and services that meet customer demands and rapid advancements in
technology. Maintaining flexibility to respond to technological and market
dynamics may require substantial expenditures and lead-time. There can be no
assurance that we will successfully identify and develop new products or
services in a timely manner, that products, technologies or services developed
by others will not render our offerings obsolete or noncompetitive, or that the
technologies in which we focus our research and development investments will
achieve acceptance in the marketplace.

                                      S-9

OUR SYSTEMS MAY SUFFER FAILURES, CAPACITY CONSTRAINTS AND BUSINESS
INTERRUPTIONS, WHICH COULD INCREASE OUR OPERATING COSTS AND CAUSE US TO LOSE
CUSTOMERS.

    Our travel marketing and distribution and airline solutions businesses are
largely dependent on the computer data centers and network systems operated by
EDS. We rely on several communications service suppliers to provide network
access between our computer data center and end-users of our travel marketing
and distribution and airline solutions services. We occasionally experience
system interruptions that make our global distribution system or other data
processing services unavailable. Much of our computer and communications
hardware is located in a single facility. Our systems might be damaged or
interrupted by fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, break-ins,
earthquakes and similar events. Computer viruses, physical or electronic
break-ins and similar disruptions might cause system interruptions, delays and
loss of critical data and could significantly diminish our reputation and brand
name and prevent us from providing services. Although we believe we have taken
adequate steps to address these risks, we could be harmed by outages in or
unreliability of the data center or network systems.

OUR REVENUES ARE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE TRAVEL AND TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRIES,
AND PARTICULARLY ON THE AIRLINES.

    Most of our revenue is derived from airlines, hotel operators, car rental
companies and other suppliers in the travel and transportation industries. Our
revenue increases and decreases with the level of travel and transportation
activity and is therefore highly subject to declines in or disruptions to travel
and transportation. Factors that may adversely affect travel and transportation
activity include price escalation in travel-related industries, airline or other
travel-related labor action, political instability and hostilities, inclement
weather, fuel price escalation, increased occurrence of travel-related
accidents, acts of terrorism, and economic downturns and recessions. The travel
industry is seasonal, and our revenue varies significantly from quarter to
quarter.

WE FACE TRADE BARRIERS OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA THAT LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO
  COMPETE.

    Trade barriers erected by non-U.S. travel suppliers--historically often
government-owned--have on occasion prevented us from offering our products and
services in their markets or have denied us content or features that they give
to our competitors. Those trade barriers make our products and services less
attractive to travel agencies in those countries than other global distribution
systems that have such capability and have restricted our ability to gain market
share outside of the U.S. Competition in those countries could require us to
increase incentives, reduce prices, increase spending on marketing or product
development, or otherwise to take actions adverse to us.

OUR INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO OTHER RISKS.

    We face risks inherent in international operations, such as risks of
currency exchange rate fluctuations, local economic and political conditions,
restrictive governmental actions (such as trade protection measures, including
export duties and quotas and custom duties and tariffs), changes in legal or
regulatory requirements, import or export licensing requirements, limitations on
the repatriation of funds, difficulty in obtaining distribution and support,
nationalization, different accounting practices and potentially longer payment
cycles, seasonal reductions in business activity, higher costs of doing
business, consumer protection laws and restrictions on pricing or discounts,
lack of or the failure to implement the appropriate infrastructure to support
our technology, disruptions of capital and trading markets, laws and policies of
the U.S. affecting trade, foreign investment and loans, and tax and other laws.
These risks may adversely affect our ability to conduct and grow business
internationally.

WE MAY NOT SUCCESSFULLY MAKE AND INTEGRATE BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND STRATEGIC
  ALLIANCES.

    We plan to continue to enter into business combinations, investments, joint
ventures or other strategic alliances with other companies in order to maintain
and grow revenue and market presence. Those transactions with other companies
create risks such as difficulty in assimilating the operations, technology and
personnel of the combined companies; disruption of our ongoing business,
including loss of management focus on existing businesses and other market
developments; problems retaining key technical and managerial personnel;
expenses associated with amortization of goodwill and other purchased intangible
assets; additional operating losses and expenses of acquired businesses;
impairment of relationships with existing employees, customers and business
partners; and fluctuations in value and losses that may arise from equity
investments. In addition, we may not be able to identify suitable candidates for
business combinations and strategic investments, obtain financing or acceptable
terms for such business combinations and strategic investments or otherwise make
such business combinations and strategic investments on acceptable terms.

THESE NOTES WILL BE EFFECTIVELY SUBORDINATED TO ALL EXISTING AND FUTURE
INDEBTEDNESS OF OUR SUBSIDIARIES.

    Our subsidiaries are not guaranteeing the notes. In the event of a
bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of our subsidiaries, creditors
of that subsidiary will generally be entitled to payment of their claims from
the assets of that subsidiary before any assets are made available to us, except
to the extent we may also have a claim as a creditor. As of June 30, 2001, our
subsidiaries had no indebtedness other than trade payables incurred in the
ordinary course of business and approximately $16 million included in long-term
"Other Liabilities" incurred in the acquisition of Gradient Solutions Limited.
Our subsidiaries may be permitted to borrow substantial additional indebtedness
in the future under the terms of the indenture for the notes.

    Additionally, the notes are unsecured and therefore will be effectively
subordinated to any secured indebtedness we may incur to the extent of the value
of the assets securing such indebtedness. As of June 30, 2001, we had no secured
indebtedness. We will be permitted to incur additional secured indebtedness,
subject to the limitations under the terms of the indenture. See "Description of
Debt Securities--Certain Covenants of Sabre--Restrictions on Secured Debt" in
the accompanying prospectus.

                              RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

EDS TRANSACTION

    On March 14, 2001, we entered into agreements with Electronic Data Systems
Corporation or EDS, which provide for:

    - the sale of our information technology outsourcing business and
      information technology infrastructure assets and associated real estate to
      EDS,

    - an information technology outsourcing agreement for EDS to manage our
      information technology systems for 10 years, and

    - marketing agreements for us and EDS to jointly market information
      technology services and software solutions to the travel and
      transportation industries.

    Effective on July 1, 2001, we completed the sale of our information
technology outsourcing business contracts, Web hosting contracts, and
information technology infrastructure assets and associated real estate to EDS
for approximately $661 million in cash. Up to approximately $31 million of this
amount is contingently refundable to EDS based, in part, upon the amount of
revenues received by EDS from US Airways under its outsourcing contract during
the 30 months following the closing of the EDS transaction. In addition, we may
receive aggregate additional payments from EDS for these assets ranging from
$6 million to $25 million on April 15, 2003 and 2004, depending on the amount of
revenues received by EDS under other airline outsourcing contracts. On July 2,
2001, we repaid $710 million of existing short-term borrowings using proceeds
from the EDS transaction and existing cash.

    In the EDS transaction, we transferred, among other things, our outsourcing
contracts with American Airlines, US Airways, Gulf Air and Dollar/Thrifty
Rent-A-Car and our data centers, network and desktop and mid-range computer
systems. We used these assets in our outsourcing business and for transaction
processing in our travel marketing and distribution business, including the
operation of our SABRE global distribution system. EDS hired approximately 4,000
of our employees, located mostly in the United States, upon closing of the
transaction.

    We retained our core travel marketing and distribution business, including:

    - our line of business related to contracts with travel suppliers and travel
      agency subscribers for participation in the SABRE computer reservations
      system;

    - our investment in the Travelocity.com consumer on-line business and
      GetThere corporate on-line booking business; and

    - our software development and consulting solutions business.

    We plan to continue to focus our business on remaining a global leader in
all channels of travel distribution.

    We also retained contracts and assets that are directly related to our core
travel marketing and distribution business. These contracts and assets include:

    - our multihost business, which provides internal reservation systems for
      airline customers;

    - contracts to provide software applications development, maintenance and
      licensing;

    - our intellectual property assets, including our software applications
      portfolios;

    - our contracts with travel suppliers, travel agencies and online travel
      sites for Web site development and booking engine services; and

    - the eMergo suite of airline solutions we offer as an online application
      service provider.

                                      S-12

    Under the ten-year information technology outsourcing agreement, EDS will
provide, manage and operate our information technology infrastructure, including
data center management, applications hosting, selected applications development,
data assurance and network management services.

    Under the EDS marketing agreements, we and EDS will jointly market certain
information technology services and software solutions to the travel and
transportation industries. As part of the marketing relationship, EDS will
contribute $20 million toward enhancing and promoting our portfolio of airline
software solutions. EDS has also agreed to move its travel bookings to the SABRE
system and to implement our GetThere corporate booking platform in its
organization.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2001

    Our net earnings, including special items described below, for the second
quarter ended June 30, 2001, were $27.7 million ($0.20 per diluted share),
compared to $63.4 million ($0.46 per diluted share) for the same quarter of
2000.

    Special items in the second quarter of 2001 on a pre-tax basis include:

    - amortization expense of $4.1 million related to six million options issued
      to US Airways as part of the long-term technology agreement signed in
      1997;

    - expense of $72.3 million related to amortization of goodwill and other
      intangibles and the recognition of stock compensation expense arising from
      the merger of Travelocity.com, Inc. and Preview Travel, the acquisition of
      a 51% interest in Dillon Communication Systems GmbH and the acquisitions
      of Gradient Solutions Limited, GetThere Inc. and the Sabre Pacific
      Marketing Company; and

    - a net gain of $2.5 million related to Travelocity.com's ownership of
      warrants to acquire equity interests in Hotel Reservations Network.

growth of 1.7% compared to $98.3 million for the same quarter in 2000.

    Our total revenues from continuing operations for the second quarter ended
June 30, 2001 were $582.0 million, up 16.1% from $501.4 million for the same
quarter of 2000. Revenue growth was affected by the slowdown in business travel
as a result of the United States economic downturn in 2000.

    Our operating income from continuing operations for the second quarter,
excluding the special items discussed above, was $110.7 million, up 13.9% from

securities, of which $109.5 million were held on behalf of Travelocity.com and
to which we do not have ready access. Our

                                      S-13

total debt was $859 million, which was lowered to $149 million on July 2, 2001
as a result of using the proceeds of the EDS transaction and existing cash to
pay down debt. On July 20, 2001, we further reduced our debt by $70 million by
using our existing cash to repay borrowings made under our revolving credit
facility. Capital spending for the second quarter of 2001 was $57.7 million
compared to $51.8 million in the second quarter of 2000. We anticipate that
capital spending for 2001 will be in the range of $140 million to $160 million,
compared to $190.1 million in 2000.

CONTINUING OPERATIONS BUSINESS OVERVIEW

    TRAVEL MARKETING & DISTRIBUTION.  Revenues from the travel marketing and
distribution business were $467 million for the second quarter of 2001, up 10.2%
from the second quarter of 2000. Revenue growth was slower than expected, due to
an economic downturn and weak business travel market. Nonetheless, we gained
bookings share in three out of four geographic regions and overall. Our bookings
within the United States declined 4.8%, while international bookings grew 2.1%
over the second quarter of 2000. Overall, our travel bookings worldwide declined
2.0% as a result of business travel decline in the United States.

    TRAVELOCITY.COM (NASDAQ: TVLY).  Gross travel bookings for Travelocity.com
were $879 million for the second quarter of 2001, up 44% from $610 million in
the second quarter of 2000. Second quarter revenues were $82 million compared to
$47 million in the second quarter of 2000, a 76% increase. During the quarter,
Travelocity.com membership rose by 2 million members from the previous quarter
to 29 million. We maintain an approximate 70% economic ownership interest in
Travelocity.com. Gross travel bookings represent the total purchase price of all
travel services booked through Travelocity's Web sites. The amount of gross
travel bookings does not affect Travelocity's operating results, and gross
travel bookings are not included in revenues. Gross travel bookings is not a
financial measurement in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
other information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. Comparisons of gross travel bookings are not necessarily meaningful
as a measure of Travelocity's revenues due to, among other things, changes in
commission rates.

    GETTHERE.  Revenues from GetThere, our Web-based travel reservation offering
for corporations and travel providers, were $11 million for the second quarter
of 2001, an increase of 1,203% as compared to historical revenues in the second
quarter of 2000, which was prior to our acquisition of GetThere. On a pro forma
basis as if the acquisition of GetThere had occurred on January 1, 2000,
year-over-year revenue growth was 43.9%. GetThere's corporate adoption rates of
use by corporate customers' employees averaged 10.1% at June 30, 2001. This is a
10% sequential increase from the corporate adoption rate at March 31, 2001, and
a 100% increase from the corporate adoption rate at June 30, 2000. The corporate
adoption rate equals the aggregate value of gross travel bookings made by a
customer's employees using GetThere compared to the aggregate value of gross
travel bookings made by all employees of such customer during such period and is
an indication of the degree of employee acceptance of GetThere within the
customer's organization. For the top 20 accounts, the average corporate adoption
rate climbed to 31%. Major customers added during the quarter include Verizon,
First Data and the Gartner Group, and the total customer base now numbers more
than 900. Corporate transactions, or trips, grew more than 150% from the second
quarter of 2000. GetThere processed 1.5 million total transactions during the
quarter, a 90% increase from the second quarter of 2000, on a pro forma basis as
if the GetThere acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2000.

    AIRLINE SOLUTIONS & EMERGING BUSINESSES.  Second quarter 2001 revenues from
our airline solutions business unit and the emerging businesses unit remained
flat from the second quarter of 2000. During the quarter, the business units
signed a number of new products and services contracts, including contracts with
Malaysia Airlines and All Nippon Airways, for a total contract value of
approximately $20 million, with recognition of revenue to begin in the second
half of 2001. Additionally, renewals for the airline reservations business had a
total contract value of approximately $57 million.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.

    Discontinued operations refer to the information technology outsourcing
business that was sold to EDS. The discontinued operations recorded income of
$25 million for the second quarter 2001, compared to $14 million in the second
quarter of 2000, an 85% increase. Discontinued operations have been fully
allocated with selling, general and administrative expenses to be representative
of the business as it operated during the quarter. Some of the selling, general
and administrative expenses historically allocated to the information technology
outsourcing business may still be incurred as part of continuing operations in
the future. These amounts are not currently estimable.

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME

    Prior to the divestiture of our information technology outsourcing business
to EDS, we had four segments: Travel Marketing and Distribution,
Travelocity.com, GetThere, and Outsourcing and Software Solutions. Subsequent to
the divestiture, we have redefined our Outsourcing and Software Solutions
segment as the Airline Solutions and Emerging Businesses segment. The segment
information presented below is based on the new segment definition for all
periods presented and has been presented on a continuing operations basis.

    the first quarter of 2000. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial
    Statements.

(3) Effective July 1, 2001, we completed the sale of our information technology
    outsourcing business and information technology infrastructure assets and
    associated real estate to EDS. See "Recent Developments--EDS Transaction"
    and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The results of
    operations also do not reflect the impact on continuing operations of some
    of the selling, general and administrative costs which historically have
    been allocated to the discontinued operations, but may still be incurred as
    part of continuing operations in the future as this amount is currently not
    estimable.

(4) Percentage changes for these items are not meaningful.

(5) On January 1, 2001, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
    No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
    ("FAS 133"), as amended. Accordingly, the fair market value of our
    derivative instruments held as of January 1, 2001, including foreign
    currency forwards, interest rate/foreign currency swap contracts and
    warrants, which were not designated as hedges under FAS 133, was recorded,
    net of minority interest and applicable income taxes, as a cumulative effect
    of a change in accounting method.

(6) Represents depreciation and amortization expense included in income from
    continuing operations.

(7) Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization from
    continuing operations (known as EBITDA) consists of the sum of income from
    continuing operations before provision for income taxes, net interest
    expense, depreciation and amortization and other income (expense), net.
    EBITDA is not a measure of income or cash flows in accordance with generally
    accepted accounting principles, but is a supplemental financial indicator as
    to our ability to service or incur debt. EBITDA is not presented as an
    indicator of cash available for discretionary spending. EBITDA may not be
    comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA
    should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income,
    operating cash flow or any other measure of financial performance prepared
    in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure
    of our profitability or liquidity. EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing
    EBITDA by revenues from continuing operations for the applicable period.

                                     SABRE

    We are a world leader in the electronic distribution of travel through our
SABRE computer reservations system. We also engage in business-to-consumer and
business-to-business travel services and distribution through our
Travelocity.com and GetThere subsidiaries. In addition, we are a leading
provider of software solutions to the travel and transportation industries.
Before we completed the EDS transaction effective as of July 1, 2001, as
described in "Recent Developments--EDS Transaction," we were also a leading
provider of information technology outsourcing services to the travel and
transportation industries.

ELECTRONIC TRAVEL DISTRIBUTION

    The SABRE system and other global distribution systems are the principal
means of air travel distribution in the United States and a growing means of air
travel distribution internationally. Through the SABRE system, subscribers such
as travel agencies, corporate travel departments and individual consumers can
access information about and book reservations with our associates, who are
airlines, car rental companies, hotel companies, railroads, tour operators,
ferry companies and cruise lines. As of June 30, 2001, travel agencies with
approximately 59,000 locations in over 100 countries on six continents
subscribed to the SABRE system, which enabled these subscribers to make
reservations with approximately 450 airlines, 54 car rental companies, 228 tour
operators, 8 cruise lines, 33 railroads and 230 hotel companies covering
approximately 53,000 hotel properties worldwide. During 2000, more airline
bookings in North America were made through the SABRE system than through any
other global distribution system. Approximately 83.6%, 83.3% and 83.5% of our
revenue from continuing operations in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, was
generated by our travel marketing and distribution segment, primarily through
booking fees paid by our associates.

    In 2000, we estimate that air travel, as represented by the number of
airline bookings, was distributed as shown in the following table:



                                                                 PERCENT OF

  Total.....................................................         100%


    *   less than 1%

    In 2000, we estimate that our share of airline bookings made through the
four global distribution systems in each of these distribution channels was:



                                                                  SABRE SHARE

Traditional Travel Agency...................................           40%
Consumer Online (e.g. Travelocity)..........................           46%

Supplier Online (e.g. airline Web sites)....................           40%
Supplier Direct (e.g. airline reservation call centers).....           19%


    Our global share of all airline bookings made through the four global
distribution systems (Sabre, Galileo, Amadeus and Worldspan) in 2000 was
approximately 39% based on the marketing information data tapes provided by
these global distribution systems. This represents a five percentage point

                                      S-19

airline bookings by region in 2000 was:



                                                                  SABRE SHARE

THE SABRE GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

    The SABRE system, like other global distribution systems, creates an
electronic marketplace where travel providers display information about their
products and warehouse and manage inventory. Subscribers--principally travel
agencies but also individual consumers and corporate travel departments via
Travelocity.com and GetThere--access information or purchase travel products and
services using the SABRE system. In 2000, approximately 1,000 associates
displayed information about their products and services through the SABRE
system, and we estimate that more than $75 billion of travel-related products
and services were sold through the SABRE system.

    In addition to providing information to subscribers about airlines and
travel providers, the SABRE system reports to the travel providers transaction
data about subscriber-generated reservations, allowing travel providers to
better manage inventory and revenues. The SABRE system also allows travel agency
subscribers to print airline tickets, boarding passes and itineraries.
Additionally, the SABRE system provides subscribers with travel information on
matters such as currency, medical and visa requirements, weather and
sightseeing. By accessing the SABRE system, a subscriber can, from a single
source, obtain schedule, availability and pricing information from multiple
travel providers for complex travel itineraries.

ASSOCIATE PARTICIPATION

    We derive our electronic travel distribution revenues primarily from booking
fees paid by our associates for reservations made through the SABRE system for
their products and services. In addition to airlines, our associates include car
rental companies, hotel companies, railroads, tour operators, ferry companies
and cruise lines.

    Airlines and our other associates can display, warehouse, manage and sell
their inventory in the SABRE system. The booking fee paid by any of our
associates depends upon several factors, including the associate's level of
participation in the SABRE system and the type of products or services provided
by the associate. Airlines are offered a wide range of participation levels. The
lowest level of participation for airlines, the SABRE BASIC BOOKING REQUEST()
participation level, provides schedules and electronic booking functionality
only. Higher levels of participation for airlines, such as the SABRE DIRECT
CONNECT AVAILABILITY participation level, provide greater levels of
communication with the SABRE system, giving subscribers more detailed
information and associates improved inventory management. For an associate
selecting one of the higher levels of participation, the SABRE system provides
subscribers with a direct connection to the associate's internal reservation
system, allowing the SABRE system to provide real-time information and allowing
the associate to optimize revenue for each flight. Car rental companies and
hotel operators are provided with similar levels of participation from which to
select. We also provide to our associates, upon request, marketing data derived
from the SABRE system bookings for fees that vary depending on the amount and
type of information provided.

                                      S-20

SUBSCRIBER ACCESS

    Access to the SABRE system enables subscribers to electronically locate,
price, compare and purchase travel products and services provided by our
associates. We tailor the interface and functionality of the SABRE system to the
needs of our different types of subscribers. Marketing is targeted to travel
agencies, corporations and individual consumers.

    TRAVEL AGENTS.  We provide travel agents with the hardware, software,
technical support and other services needed to use the SABRE system in return
for fees that typically vary inversely with the travel agency's productivity, as
measured by the number of bookings generated. Such fees are payable over the
term of the travel agent's agreement with us, generally five years in the United
States and Latin America, three years in Canada, and one year in Europe.

    Because travel agencies have differing needs, we have modified the SABRE
system interface to meet the specific needs of different categories of travel
agents. Travel agents can choose interfaces that range from simple, text-based
systems to feature-laden graphical systems. For example, we developed TURBO
SABRE software, an advanced point-of-sale interface and application development
tool that offers advanced functionality such as customized screens, automated
quality control, database integration, and eliminates complex commands, reducing
keystrokes and training requirements.

    PLANET SABRE software transforms the SABRE system from a complex
command-oriented system to an all-graphic interface with continued access to the
SABRE system and its capabilities. This software, which we introduced in
February 1997, includes:

    - a graphical launch pad, which enables the user to move to any function
      with one or two clicks of a mouse;

    - a customizer feature, which allows travel agencies to tailor PLANET
      SABRE() software to meet their own specific needs;

    - a tutorial;

    - online help;

    - a place to store notes about clients, destinations or procedures; and

    - a suggestion system.

    SABRE NET PLATFORM is a low-cost, Internet browser based solution for
smaller agencies or professional travel agents working from a remote location.
The software provides Sabre quality and reliability at less than half the cost
of other connectivity solutions, while at the same time giving agents the
flexibility to stay connected virtually anywhere.

    We provide online bookings solutions for travel agencies and travel
providers, including Web site development, business logic middleware, and
backend processing. The end consumer accesses the agency and associate-specific
Web sites via the Internet to locate, price, compare and purchase travel
products and services. Because functionality requirements differ among
customers, we developed a suite of products to cater to specific online needs.
Travel agent and associate product offerings range from off the shelf
applications to fully customized solutions. License, consulting, and Web hosting
fees are recovered from the subscribers and vary with the level of customization
and volume generated by the site. We also provide Web hosting services for the
Web sites of many of our airline, travel agency and other travel industry
customers.

    The SABRE system interfaces are available in English, Spanish, Portuguese,
French, German, Italian and Japanese. In addition, we offer travel agencies
back-office accounting systems and further support travel agencies by offering a
simplified method to develop and place their own marketing presence on the Web.

    TRAVEL PROVIDERS AND CORPORATE ONLINE.  Through our October 17, 2000
acquisition of GetThere Inc., we significantly extended our leadership in
Web-based solutions for corporations and travel suppliers.

    GetThere DIRECTAIRLINE powers Web sites for 9 major airlines including All
Nippon Airways, America West and United Airlines. GetThere's system provides
supplier Web sites with features for travel reservations, bonus mile programs,
flight status alerts and Internet specials. In 2000, GetThere also announced its
first booking site for a leading lodging company--Hyatt Hotels and Resorts.

    Combining the former GetThere and SABRE Business Travel Solutions
organizations, GetThere provides Web-based travel booking systems designed for
corporate travelers, travel arrangers and travel managers. It is a comprehensive
offering that enables travel planning and reservations by corporate travelers,
while providing control and decision support to travel managers. GetThere
DIRECTCORPORATE provides corporations with tools to better manage travel costs,
use of negotiated rates and adherence to corporate travel policies, and to
obtain real-time information on all aspects of travel. Through agency and travel
providers, GetThere DIRECTMIDMARKET is delivering corporate travel features to
small and mid-sized companies.

    We receive fees for transactions booked through GetThere and also recognize
revenues for certain up-front fees, such as implementation, franchise and
license fees over the term of the related contract.

    CONSUMER ONLINE.  We own an approximate 70% economic interest in
Travelocity.com Inc., a leading provider of online travel services to consumers.
Travelocity.com Inc. operates Travelocity.com, which, according to its most
recent annual report filed with the SEC, is the most visited online travel Web
site and the third most visited electronic commerce retail site in the United
States.

    Through the Travelocity.com Web sites and co-branded sites operated in
conjunction with other Web sites, individual leisure and business travelers can
compare prices, make travel reservations online and obtain destination
information. This product is generally available to individual consumers free of
charge, although Travelocity.com began charging consumers a $10 service fee for
tickets booked through the Travelocity.com Web site for flights on Northwest
Airlines, Inc. and its alliance partner, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.
Travelocity.com implemented this service charge in response to Northwest
Airlines' and KLM's decision to cease paying commissions for tickets booked
through the Internet.

    The Travelocity.com Web sites are accessible through the Internet and
computer online services such as AOL. They feature booking and purchase
capability for airline, car rental agencies, hotel companies and cruise and
vacation providers, and offers access to a database of information regarding
specific destinations and other information of interest to travelers.

    In addition to Travelocity.com's main U.S. Web site, it operates multiple
Web sites tailored to customers in the United Kingdom, Canada and Germany.
Travelocity.com is the exclusive provider of travel booking services for various
America Online, Inc. services, including AOL, AOL.com, Netscape, CompuServe and
Digital City, in the United States and Canada. Travelocity.com is also an
exclusive provider of some of the travel booking services on Web sites operated
by Yahoo!, Inc. in the United States and Canada, Excite, Inc. and @Home
Corporation. According to Travelocity.com's most recent annual report filed with
the SEC, after giving effect to its merger with Preview Travel, Inc. on a pro
forma basis as if it had occurred on January 1, 2000, visitors booked
approximately $2.5 billion in travel services on Travelocity.com and its
affiliated Web sites in 2000, making it one of the top ten travel agents in the
United States in terms of travel services sold.

AIRLINE SOLUTIONS

    We are a leading provider of information technology solutions to airlines
and other travel suppliers. We offer our airline and other travel supplier
clients a comprehensive set of information technology solutions, including:

    - software development, sales and licensing,

    - reservations hosting, and

    - consulting services.

    SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT, SALES AND LICENSING.  We provide software solutions to
more than 150 airlines or airline associations. These solutions have many
applications for airlines. For example:

    - the SABRE AIRMAX() revenue management system allows airlines to seek to
      enhance revenue by using statistical and database sources that estimate
      the economic implications of fare actions before they are implemented,

    - the SABRE AIRPRICE fares management system enables airlines to analyze and
      manage fares and react to competitors' changes,

    - the SABRE AIRFLITE flight scheduling system allows airlines to determine
      superior flight schedules, and

    - the SABRE AIRCREWs crew management system allows airlines to improve crew
      member scheduling which can reduce the airline's staffing costs.

    We also develop off-the-shelf products as well as customized software for
some of our larger clients. Some of the most popular products support flight
scheduling, flight operations, revenue management and accounting, crew
scheduling, sales and marketing automation, cargo tracking, passenger systems
and maintenance and engineering scheduling.

    RESERVATIONS HOSTING.  We are a leading provider of airline reservations
hosting services. These services involve maintaining and storing an airline's
schedules, fares and inventory on our central computer system for the primary
purpose of creating reservations for the airline's customers. These services
also support airport check-in, ticketing, car and hotel reservations and the
airline's frequent flyer program. Our reservations hosting services allow our
airline clients to support and expand upon these fundamental airline functions.
In addition, we have designed our reservations hosting services to easily
integrate with many of our other information technology solutions so that
airline customers using our reservations hosting services can readily access the
benefits offered by these other solutions. Currently we provide reservations
hosting services to more than 60 airline customers worldwide.

    CONSULTING SERVICES.  Our consulting services assist businesses in the
travel and transportation industries to collect and analyze operational and
customer data in order to improve internal operations and product distribution
in the market place. These services enable airlines, airports and other travel-
related businesses to improve their operations and optimally distribute their
fares, schedules and inventories through all available channels with a special
emphasis on distribution through computer reservations and global distribution
systems. We offer consulting services covering several areas related to the
airline and travel industries, including:

    - revenue management,

    - distribution strategy,

    - maintenance and engineering,

    - electronic business solutions,

                                      S-23

    - crew contract negotiations,

    - network profitability, and

    - airline start-up assistance.

INTERNATIONAL MARKETING

    We are actively involved in marketing the SABRE system internationally
either directly or through joint venture or distributorship arrangements. Our
global marketing partners principally include foreign airlines that have strong
relationships with travel agents in those airlines' primary markets and entities
that operate smaller global distribution systems or other travel-related network
services.

    We have long-term agreements with ABACUS International Holdings Ltd. which
created ABACUS International Ltd., a Singapore-based joint venture company that
manages travel distribution in the Asia/Pacific region. We own 35% of the joint
venture and provide it with transaction processing and product development
services on the SABRE system.

COMPETITION

    We compete in travel marketing and distribution primarily against other
global distribution systems. Our principal competitors in marketing to travel
agents include Amadeus Global Travel Distribution SA, Galileo
International Inc. and Worldspan, L.P. Each of these competitors offers many
products and services substantially similar to ours.

    The global market to attract and retain travel agency subscribers is
intensely competitive. Factors affecting competitive success of global
distribution systems include:

    - depth and breadth of information,

    - ease of use,

    - reliability,

    - service and incentives to travel agents, and

    - range of products available to travel providers, travel agents and
      consumers.

    We potentially face many new competitors as new travel distribution channels
develop, including new Internet-based business-to-business and
business-to-consumer, channels. These new competitors face a number of
challenges, including:

    - significant capital investment,

    - development or acquisition of hardware and software systems with global
      scales and reach, and

    - ability to connect to disparate travel suppliers' and travel agents'
      systems.

    Although distribution through traditional travel agents continues to be the
primary method of travel distribution, new channels of direct online
distribution to businesses and consumers are growing. We believe that our
products and services offered through GetThere and Travelocity.com are well-
positioned to compete effectively in these emerging distribution channels.

    Many of these channels will continue to require services from a global
distribution system such as the SABRE system. We have offered and we plan to
continue to offer transaction processing and other services to parties that
compete directly with the Travelocity.com Web sites and GetThere as such parties
require access to our offerings. For example, we provide transaction processing
services to Cheap Tickets, Hotwire.com and Lowestfare.com although such
companies compete against the

                                      S-24

Travelocity.com Web sites. For the provision of these services, we receive
booking fees for bookings made through these and other travel-related Web sites.

    We market the SABRE system to corporations through GetThere. The market for
Internet-based travel procurement and supply services is new, highly competitive
and rapidly evolving. Our main competitors in the business-to-business channel
in marketing to corporations include providers of online travel products and
services, such as Amadeus, Oracle's E-Travel and Datalex PLC and online
providers of indirect goods and services including Ariba and Commerce One.

    We participate in the business-to-consumer channel primarily through the
Travelocity.com Web sites. The main competitors of the Travelocity.com Web sites
in marketing to consumers include Expedia.com and Priceline.com. Increasingly,
many travel suppliers are developing their own Web sites, some of which offer an
array of products and services, that directly target consumers. Various major
airlines have recently announced their intention to launch Internet Web sites in
the United States, Europe and Asia to provide booking services for airline
travel, hotel accommodations and other travel services offered by multiple
vendors. Several hotels have announced plans for similar multi-vendor Web sites.
Some of these sites appear to have the intention to make selected discounted
fares and prices available exclusively on their proprietary or multi-vendor Web
sites. To that end, the multi-airline owned Web site in the United States, named
"Orbitz," has included "most favored distributor" and exclusivity provisions in
its airline participation contracts. Similarly, the multi-airline owned Web site
in Europe, named "Opodo," has signaled that its airline participation contracts
will contain "most favored distributor" provisions. The U.S. Department of
Transportation has stated that it will monitor Orbitz's operations to ensure
that Orbitz is not behaving anti-competitively. Additionally, the U.S.
Department of Justice is currently investigating Orbitz. The Attorneys General
of 20 U.S. states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico also have expressed
concerns about the impact that Orbitz might have on competition.

COMPUTER RESERVATION SYSTEM INDUSTRY REGULATION

    Our travel marketing and distribution business is subject to regulation in
the United States, the European Union and Canada. These regulations generally
address the relationships among computer reservation systems, airline
associates, and travel agency subscribers. Generally, these regulations do not
address relationships with non-airline associates. The regulations in the
European Union, however, do include rail associates in certain circumstances. In
general, these regulations are directed at ensuring fair competition among
travel providers. Among the principles addressed in the current regulations are:

    - unbiased computer reservation system displays of airline information,

    - fair treatment of airline associates by computer reservation systems,

    - equal participation by airlines in non airline-owned computer reservation
      systems, and

    - fair competition for subscribers.

    The computer reservation system regulations in the United States are
currently under review. In addition, the Transportation Ministry of Peru is
considering the adoption of computer reservation system regulations. Likewise,
the Department of Civil Aviation in Brazil recently considered such regulations
but, for the time being, has decided such regulations are not necessary. We do
not believe that the possible revisions to the United States regulations, or
possible adoption of regulations in Peru and Brazil will materially adversely
affect our operations.

OTHER REGULATION

    We may be impacted by regulations affecting issues such as: exports of
technology, telecommunications, data privacy and electronic commerce. Some
portions of our business, such as our Internet-based travel marketing and
distribution, may be affected if regulations are adopted in these areas. Any
such regulations may vary among jurisdictions. We believe that we are capable of
addressing these regulatory issues as they arise.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

    We anticipate our net proceeds from the sale of the notes will be $
million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated
offering expenses of $    million. We intend to use the net proceeds to reduce
outstanding indebtedness under our revolving credit facility and for general
corporate purposes.

    Our revolving credit facility consists of a $300 million senior unsecured
line of credit which expires on September 14, 2004. As of June 30, 2001, the
interest rate under the revolving credit facility was 4.48% per annum, and the
borrowings under our revolving credit facility were $149 million. On July 20,
2001 we repaid $70 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility,
using existing cash. The remaining balance will be repaid with the proceeds from
the sale of the notes.

                                 CAPITALIZATION

    The following table sets forth our debt and equity capitalization as of
March 31, 2001 (i) on a historical basis, (ii) to give effect to the use of
$661 million of the cash proceeds from the EDS transaction, $49 million of
existing cash on July 2, 2001 and $70 million of existing cash on July 20, 2001
to retire $780 million of the Company's outstanding debt, and (iii) adjusted to
give effect to the transactions described in clause (ii) and the application of
the estimated net proceeds of this offering of notes as described under "Use of
Proceeds." You should read this table in conjunction with our selected
consolidated financial data presented elsewhere in this prospectus supplement
along with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in
this prospectus supplement and incorporated by reference in the accompanying

                       RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

    The ratio of earnings to fixed charges for each of our last five fiscal
years and the three months ended March 31, 2001 is presented in the table below.
The ratio of earnings to fixed charges on a pro forma basis for the year ended
December 31, 2000 and the three months ended March 31, 2001 as if the EDS
transaction, the repayment of borrowings using proceeds from the EDS transaction
and existing cash balances and the offering of the notes had occurred at the
beginning of the periods indicated is also presented in the table below. For
purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist
of the sum of income from continuing operations before income taxes and the
cumulative effect of change in accounting method, interest expense and the
portion of rent expense deemed to represent interest. Fixed charges consist of
interest incurred, whether expensed or capitalized, including amortization of
debt issuance costs, if applicable, and the portion of rent expense deemed to
represent interest. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges for 1997 and 1996 has
not been revised for the effects of presenting the results of operations of the
information technology outsourcing business as a discontinued operation. Pro
forma earnings for the year ended December 31, 2000 were inadequate to cover pro
forma fixed charges by $12.7 million.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein.

SUMMARY

    The Company generates its revenue from continuing operations by providing
travel marketing and distribution services to travel agencies, corporate travel
departments and travel suppliers using the SABRE system, to consumers using the
Travelocity.com Web sites and to businesses using GetThere products, from the
development and marketing of airline solutions and from products and services
offered by our emerging businesses unit, which identifies and evaluates new
business concepts, potential partnerships, and mergers and acquisition
opportunities. During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company
generated approximately 80.3% of its revenue from Travel Marketing and
Distribution services, approximately 9.6% from Travelocity.com, 1.9% from
GetThere and 8.2% from Airline Solutions and Emerging Businesses. The Company's
consolidated operating margins were 7.8% and 15.9% for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. During 2000, the Company generated
approximately 82.8% of its revenue from Travel Marketing and Distribution
services, approximately 7.4% from Travelocity.com, 0.6% from GetThere and 9.2%
from Airline Solutions and Emerging Businesses. The Company's consolidated
operating margins for continuing operations were 8.9%, 18.0% and 19.0% for the
years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

    For the three years ended December 31, 2000, total operating expenses have
increased $503 million, or 39.8% from $1,265 million at December 31, 1998 to
$1,768 million at December 31, 2000 due to the Company's growth, business
acquisitions, and incremental costs of the Company's Y2K efforts. The Company's
primary expenses consist of salaries, benefits, other employee-related costs,
depreciation and amortization, communication costs and customer incentives.

EDS TRANSACTION

    Effective on July 1, 2001, the Company and EDS completed the sale of the
Company's information technology outsourcing business contracts, Web hosting
contracts, and information technology infrastructure assets and associated real
estate to EDS for approximately $661 million in cash. See "Recent
Developments--EDS Transaction" and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information regarding this transaction.

    The assets transferred included the Company's outsourcing contracts with
American Airlines, US Airways, Gulf Air, and Dollar/Thrifty Rent-A-Car, and data
centers, network and desktop and mid-range computer systems. Those assets were
used for the Company's outsourcing business and for transaction processing in
its travel marketing and distribution segment, including the operation of the
SABRE global distribution system. Approximately 4,000 of the Company's
employees, located mostly in the United States, were transitioned to employment
with EDS upon closing of the transaction.

    The Company retained its core travel marketing and distribution business,
including the line of business related to contracts with travel suppliers and
travel agency subscribers for participation in the Sabre system; the Company's
investment in the Travelocity.com consumer on-line business and GetThere
corporate on-line booking business; and contracts with travel suppliers, travel
agencies and online travel sites for Web site development and booking engine
services. The Company plans to continue to focus its business on remaining a
global leader in all significant channels of travel distribution.

                                      S-28

    The Company also retained contracts and assets that are directly related to
its core travel marketing and distribution business. Those include its multihost
business, which provides internal reservation systems for airline customers;
contracts to provide software applications development, maintenance and
licensing; the Company's intellectual property assets, including its software
applications portfolios; and the eMergo suite of airline solutions offered by
the Company as an online application service provider.

    Under the information technology outsourcing agreement, EDS will provide,
manage and operate the Company's information technology infrastructure,
including data center management, applications hosting, selected applications
development, data assurance, and network management services. The term of the
information technology outsourcing agreement is ten years. The information
technology outsourcing agreement is expected to generate future cost savings for
the Company.

    Under the Marketing Agreements, the Company and EDS will jointly market
certain information technology services and software solutions to the travel and
transportation industries. As part of the marketing relationship, EDS will
contribute $20 million toward enhancing and promoting the Company's portfolio of
airline software solutions. EDS has also agreed to move its travel bookings to
the Company's SABRE system and to implement the Company's GetThere corporate
booking platform in its organization. For further information about the
transaction with EDS and the financial statement presentation of discontinued
operations, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

SEASONALITY

    The travel industry is seasonal in nature. Bookings, and thus fees charged
for the use of the SABRE system, decrease significantly each year in the fourth
quarter, primarily in December, due to early bookings by customers for travel
during the holiday season and a decline in business travel during the holiday
season. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information on quarterly financial results. The following table sets forth
quarterly financial data for the Company (in millions, except per share data and
percentages):

(1) Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization from
    continuing operations (known as EBITDA) consists of the sum of income from
    continuing operations before provision for income taxes; net interest
    expense; depreciation and amortization and other income (expense), net.
    EBITDA is not a measure of income or cash flows in accordance with generally
    accepted accounting principles, but is a supplemental financial indicator as
    to our ability to service or incur debt. EBITDA is not presented as an
    indicator of cash available for discretionary spending. EBITDA may not be
    comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA
    should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income,
    operating cash flow or any other measure of financial performance prepared
    in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure
    of our profitability or liquidity. EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing
    EBITDA by revenues for the applicable period.

AGREEMENTS WITH AMR AND AMERICAN AIRLINES

    The Company, AMR and American Airlines have various agreements, collectively
referred to as the "AMR Agreements". These agreements include an agreement for
the provision of marketing support by American Airlines for certain of the
Company's products, an agreement for the provision of management services by
American Airlines to the Company, agreements for the provision of travel
services by American Airlines to the Company and its employees. The rates under
the agreements are adjusted or renegotiated from time to time, and current rates
may represent an increase or decrease over previous rates. The financial terms
of the AMR Agreements were applied to the Company's operations commencing
January 1, 1996.

    The Company entered into an information technology services agreement with
American Airlines (the "Technology Services Agreement") to provide American
Airlines with certain information technology services. The base term of the
Technology Services Agreement expires June 30, 2006. The Technology Services
Agreement and related information technology assets and personnel have been
transferred to EDS as part of the EDS Transaction (see Note 2 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements). Substantially all of the services under the
Technology Services Agreement will now be provided by EDS. The Company may
receive additional payments from EDS for those assets, depending on the amount
of revenues received by EDS under the Technology Services Agreement. The terms
of the services to be provided to American Airlines by EDS, however, vary.
Certain software applications development and maintenance services were retained
by the Company under a new agreement with American Airlines. The Company also
transferred to American Airlines approximately 200 employees who had been
providing dedicated support services.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
  2000

    REVENUES.  Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2001
increased approximately $94 million, 19.6%, compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2000, from $479 million to $573 million. Travel Marketing and
Distribution revenue from external customers increased $45 million, 10.8%. This
increase was primarily due to a $37 million increase from booking and other fees
from associates while revenues from other products grew $8 million.
Travelocity.com increased revenues from external customers approximately
$36 million, 189.5%. Transaction revenues from associates increased $26 million
due to growth in booking volumes, and advertising and license fee revenues grew
by $10 million. GetThere revenues from external customers increased
$10 million, 650%, resulting from the combination of GetThere with the Company's
existing Business Travel Solutions business in October 2000. Supplier revenue,
which consists of services provided to airlines, such as United and TWA, for
hosting their consumer Web sites, increased $5 million. GetThere also increased
corporate and other revenue $5 million, due to increases in trip fees and
revenues from partnerships with agencies such as American Express and other
on-line customers. Airline Solutions and Emerging Businesses increased revenues
from external customers approximately $3 million, 6.8%, due to increases in
license fee revenues.

    COST OF REVENUES.  Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31,
2001 increased approximately $39 million, 12.0%, compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2000, from $324 million to $363 million. Approximately
$20 million of this increase was driven by higher Travel Marketing and
Distribution expenses for data processing, software development labor and
subscriber incentives. The additional $19 million of the increase was primarily
due to increased salaries, benefits and employee related expenses resulting from
growth in Travelocity.com and the acquisition of GetThere.

    SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2001 increased
$28 million, 38.4%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2000, from
$73 million to $101 million. The increase is primarily due to the amortization
of payments made by Travelocity.com to strategic distribution partners such as
America Online, Inc., Yahoo! Inc. and others. The increase was also partially
due to higher advertising and promotion costs to support the growth of
Travelocity.com and other selling and administrative expenses to support the
Company's growth.

    AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS.  Amortization of goodwill
and intangible assets was $65 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001
compared to $6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Goodwill and
intangible assets of approximately $1 billion were recorded in connection with
the merger in 2000 of Travelocity.com and Preview Travel; the acquisitions in
2000 of GetThere, Gradient Solutions Limited and a 51% interest in Dillon
Communications Systems and the acquisition of Sabre Pacific in March 2001. The
acquired goodwill and intangible assets are being amortized over periods ranging
from one to seven years.

    OPERATING INCOME.  Operating income decreased $31 million, 40.8%, from
$76 million to $45 million. Operating margins decreased from 15.9% in 2000 to
7.8% in 2001 as the 19.6% increase in revenues was more than offset by a 31.2%
increase in operating expenses.

    INTEREST INCOME.  Interest income decreased $3 million due to lower average
balances maintained in the Company's investment accounts.

                                      S-31

    INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense increased $13 million due to interest
expense on the $859 million of debt incurred during 2000 related to the payment
of the $675 million cash dividend in February 2000 and the acquisition of
GetThere in October 2000.

    OTHER, NET.  Other, net, in 2001 is primarily composed of unrealized losses
on warrants to purchase shares of Hotel Reservation Network common stock held by
the Company.

    MINORITY INTEREST.  The minority interest includes minority owners'
interests in the results of operations of consolidated subsidiaries of the
Company, primarily Travelocity.com. The increase in losses attributable to
minority interest is due to an increase in the net loss of Travelocity.com
combined with minority interests participating in the loss of Travelocity.com
for the entire period during 2001.

    INCOME TAXES.  The provision for income taxes was $30 million and
$34 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
The decrease in the provision for income taxes corresponds with the decrease in
net income before the provision for income taxes combined with the benefit of an
estimated research and experimentation credit partially offset by the impact of
nondeductible goodwill amortization expense of $65 million.

    DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.  Revenues from discontinued operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2001 increased approximately $15 million, 9.0%,
compared to the three months ended March 31, 2000, from $166 million to
$181 million. The increase in revenues was primarily due to higher applications
development revenues from American. Net earnings from discontinued operations
for the three months ended March 31, 2001 decreased approximately $2 million,
12.5%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2000, from $16 million to
$14 million due to higher US Airways option amortization expense. Discontinued
operations have been fully allocated with selling, general and administrative
expenses to be representative of the business as it operated during the relevant
period. Some of the selling, general and administrative expenses historically
allocated to the information technology outsourcing business may still be
incurred as part of continuing operations in the future. The amount of such
costs is not currently estimable.

                                      S-32

2000 COMPARED TO 1999

    REVENUES.  Total revenues from continuing operations for the year ended
December 31, 2000 increased approximately $242 million, 14.2%, compared to the
year ended December 31, 1999, from $1,699 million to $1,941 million. Travel
Marketing and Distribution revenue increased $168 million, 11.7%. This increase
was primarily due to a $154 million increase from booking and other fees from
associates while revenues from other products grew $14 million. Travelocity.com
increased revenues approximately $104 million, 257.9% due to increases in
transaction revenue from growth in booking volumes, and advertising and license
fee revenues. GetThere revenues increased approximately $10 million, 453.9%,
resulting primarily from the combination of GetThere with the Company's existing
Business Travel Solutions business in October 2000. Supplier revenue, which
consists of services provided to air travel providers, such as United and TWA,
for hosting their consumer Web sites, increased $5 million. GetThere also
increased corporate and other revenue approximately $5 million, due to increases
in trip fees and revenues from partnerships with agencies such as American
Express and other on-line customers. Airline Solutions and Emerging Businesses
revenues decreased approximately $40 million, 18.3%, due primarily to decreases
in applications development performed on behalf of various work travel
providers.

    COST OF REVENUES.  Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000
increased approximately $106 million, 8.8%, compared to the year ended
December 31, 1999, from $1,211 million to $1,317 million. Approximately
$32 million of this increase was driven by higher Travel Marketing and
Distribution expenses for data processing, development labor and subscriber
incentives. This increase was due to increased transactions resulting in
increases in costs associated with Travelocity.com's customer service
operations, including the addition of personnel and other costs associated with
a new customer service center. The remaining increase of $61 million was
primarily due to increased salaries, benefits and employee-related expenses
resulting from growth in Travelocity.com and the acquisition of GetThere.

    SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $159 million, 86.9%, from $183 million to
$342 million. General and administrative expenses for the year include
approximately $19 million of non-recurring charges associated with the spin-off
of the Company from AMR. Additionally, approximately $100 million of the
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses relates to the
Travelocity.com business and includes approximately $46 million of payments made
to strategic distribution partners, approximately $36 million in increased
advertising and promotion activities and approximately $18 million for higher
salaries, benefits and other administrative expenses necessary to support the
growth of that business. The remaining $40 million increase in selling, general
and administrative expenses is due to the Company's growth initiatives including
strategic acquisitions consummated during 2000.

    AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS.  Amortization of goodwill
and intangible assets was $109 million in 2000. The Company recorded
approximately $1 billion of goodwill and intangible assets associated with the
merger of Preview and Travelocity.com and the acquisitions of GetThere, Gradient
and an interest in Dillon in 2000. The acquired goodwill and intangible assets
are being amortized over periods ranging from one to five years.

    OPERATING INCOME.  Operating income decreased $132 million, 43.3%, from
$305 million to $173 million. Operating margins decreased from 18.0% in 1999 to
8.9% in 2000, due to an increase in operating expenses of 26.9% partially offset
by a 14.2% increase in revenues. Travel Marketing and Distribution operating
income increased $32 million, 8.8%, due to higher booking fees from associates.
Travelocity.com had a $91 million decrease in operating income due primarily to
increased goodwill amortization and higher selling, general and administrative
expenses. GetThere had a $55 million decrease in operating income due primarily
to higher goodwill amortization.

                                      S-33

    INTEREST INCOME.  Interest income decreased by $12 million, 42.9%, from
$28 million to $16 million, due primarily to lower average balances maintained
in the Company's cash and marketable securities accounts as a result of the
payment of a $675 million dividend to shareholders in February 2000 and
strategic acquisitions during 2000.

    INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense increased $22 million, 220.0%, from
$10 million to $32 million as a result of the debt assumed during 2000 in
connection with the payment of a $675 million dividend to shareholders in
February 2000 and the acquisition of GetThere in October 2000.

    OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET.  Other income (expense) decreased
$136 million, primarily due to a $138 million non-recurring gain recognized in
1999 on the liquidation of Equant N.V. ("Equant") depository certificates.

    MINORITY INTERESTS.  Minority interests include minority owners' interests
in consolidated subsidiaries of the Company, primarily Travelocity.com.

    INCOME TAXES.  The provision for income taxes was $93 million and
$170 million for 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease in the provision for
income taxes primarily corresponds with the change in income before the
provision for income taxes. The decrease is also due to a lower effective tax
rate resulting from the research and experimentation credit, partially offset by
a higher effective tax rate resulting from non-deductible goodwill amortization.
See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information
regarding income taxes.

    INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS.  Income from continuing operations
decreased $194 million, 66.9%, from $290 million in 1999 to $96 million in 2000
notwithstanding an increase in revenues of 14.2% because of an increase of
operating expenses of 26.9% coupled with the non-recurring 1999 gain recognized
on the liquidation of the Equant depository certificates. The increase in
operating expenses was mainly driven by increases in expenses related to
acquisition activity in 2000 including amortization of goodwill and intangible
assets.

    INCOME FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.  Income from discontinued operations
increased $7 million, 17.1%, from $41 million to $48 million for 1999 and 2000,
respectively. Revenues decreased due to reduced conversion and migration work
for US Airways and for Canadian Airlines applications work. The revenue decrease
was more than offset by decreased operating expenses as a result of lower
employee and contractor headcount. Discontinued operations have been fully
allocated with selling, general and administrative expenses to be representative
of the business as it operated during the quarter. Some of the selling, general
and administrative expenses historically allocated to the information technology
outsourcing business may still be incurred as part of continuing operations in
the future. The amount of such costs is not currently estimable.

    NET EARNINGS.  Net earnings decreased $188 million, 56.6%, from
$332 million to $144 million, attributable to decreases in other income,
operating income and interest income and increases in interest expense in 2000
compared to 1999.

1999 COMPARED TO 1998

    REVENUES.  Total revenues from continuing operations for the year ended
December 31, 1999 increased approximately $138 million, 8.8%, compared to the
year ended December 31, 1998, from $1,561 million to $1,699 million. Travel
Marketing and Distribution revenue from external customers increased
$128 million, 9.7%. This increase was primarily due to a $100 million increase
from booking and other fees from associates while revenues from other products
grew $28 million. Travelocity.com revenues from external customers increased
approximately $27 million, 197.1%. Transaction revenues from associates
increased $19 million due to growth in booking volumes, and advertising and
license fee revenues grew by $8 million. GetThere revenues from external
customers increased $2 million, due

                                      S-34

to growth in transactions booked through Business Travel Solutions. Airline
Solutions and Emerging Businesses revenues from external customers decreased
approximately $18 million, 7.8%, due to decreases in certain project activities
and US Airways outsourcing contract activity, partially offset by increases in
Aerolineas Argentinas conversion migration.

    COST OF REVENUES.  Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999
increased approximately $89 million, 7.9%, compared to the year ended
December 31, 1998, from $1,122 million to $1,211 million. Approximately
$78 million of this increase was driven by higher Travel Marketing and
Distribution expenses for communications, development labor and subscriber
incentives. The remaining increase of $11 million was primarily due to increased
salaries, benefits and employee related expenses resulting from growth of the
business, partially offset by reversal of an accrual for a cost savings
guarantee under the Marketing Cooperation Agreement. See Note 7 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on this agreement.

    SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $40 million, 28.0%, from $143 million to
$183 million, primarily due to salaries, benefits and employee-related costs,
advertising and other selling expenses. Salaries, benefits and employee-related
costs increased as a result of sales growth initiatives and increased
administrative requirements to support the Company's growth.

    OPERATING INCOME.  Operating income increased $9 million, 3.0%, from
$296 million to $305 million. Operating margins decreased from 19.0% in 1998 to
18.0% in 1999, due to an increase in revenues of 8.8% and an increase in
operating expenses of 10.2%. Travel Marketing and Distribution operating income
increased $61 million, 20.0%, due to higher booking fees from associates.
GetThere operating income decreased $22 million due primarily to higher
operating expenses. Airline Solutions and Emerging Businesses operating income
decreased $24 million due primarily to lower application development revenues.

    INTEREST INCOME.  Interest income increased by $2 million, due primarily to
higher average balances maintained in the Company's cash and marketable
securities accounts.

    INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense decreased $9 million as a result of the
settlement in June 1999 of the $318 million debenture payable to AMR.

    OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET.  Other income (expense) increased
$123 million, primarily due to a $138 million gain recognized on the liquidation
in 1999 of Equant depository certificates held by American for the economic
benefit of the Company, partially offset by the one-time gain of $14 million
recognized in 1998 as a result of the favorable court judgment relating to
Ticketnet Corporation, an inactive subsidiary of the Company.

    INCOME TAXES.  The provision for income taxes was $170 million and
$115 million for 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase in the provision for
income taxes corresponds with the increase in net income before the provision
for income taxes, partially offset by a lower effective tax rate due primarily
to increased foreign tax benefits. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information regarding income taxes.

    INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS.  Income from continuing operations
increased $88 million, 43.9% from $202 million in 1998 to $290 million in 1999
due to an increase in revenues of 8.8% partially offset by an increase of
operating expenses of 10.2%.

    INCOME FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.  Income from discontinued operations
increased $11 million, 37.7%, from $30 million to $41 million for 1998 and 1999,
respectively. Revenues decreased due to lower US Airways conversion and
migration work, partially offset by increases in other applications work,
primarily for Gulf Air. The revenue decrease was more than offset by

                                      S-35

decreased expenses as a result of lower employee and contractor headcount and
lower services purchased relating to US Airways. Discontinued operations have
been fully allocated with selling, general and administrative expenses to be
representative of the business as it operated during the quarter. Some of the
selling, general and administrative expenses historically allocated to the
information technology outsourcing business may still be incurred as part of
continuing operations in the future. The amount of such costs is not currently
estimable.

    NET EARNINGS.  Net earnings increased $100 million, 43.1%, from
$232 million to $332 million, primarily due to the increases in other income,
primarily due to the gain recognized on the liquidation of Equant depository
certificates, and operating income and the reduction in interest expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    At March 31, 2001, the Company had approximately $228 million in cash and
short-term investments and a working capital deficit of $387 million. At
December 31, 2000, the Company had $145 million in cash and marketable
securities and $47 million of long-term securities, and a working capital
deficit of $573 million. The Company invests cash in short-term marketable
securities, consisting primarily of certificates of deposit, bankers'
acceptances, commercial paper, corporate notes and government notes.

    The Company generated $76 million of cash from operating activities during
the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $19 million of cash used for
the three months ended March 31, 2000. The Company generated $311 million,
$495 million and $451 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, in cash flow
from operating activities. The Company anticipates that cash flows from
operating activities will not be significantly affected as a result of the EDS
transaction. Historically, the Company has funded its operations through cash
generated from operations.

    On January 5, 2000, pursuant to the terms of the stock option agreement with
US Airways, the Company settled the first tranche of options to acquire
3 million shares of the Company's class A common stock with a cash payment of
$81 million in lieu of issuing stock. The second tranche of options to acquire
3,406,914 shares of the Company's class A common stock remained outstanding at
December 31, 2000. Effective January 1, 2001, US Airways' ability to select
alternative value in place of receiving stock for the second tranche of options
expired. The Company may, at its discretion, choose to settle the remaining
stock options with alternative value in place of issuing shares of its common
stock. Such payment may result in the payment of cash by the Company to US
Airways.

    Net cash used for investing activities for 2000, 1999 and 1998 was
$473 million, $438 million and $422 million, respectively. Investing activities
in 2000 primarily included $711 million for strategic acquisitions including
GetThere, Preview, Gradient and an interest in Dillon as well as $190 million of
expenditures for property and equipment. Investing activities in 1999 primarily
included a $300 million loan to American and $167 million of expenditures for
property and equipment. Net cash used for investing activities was $104 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2001.

    The Company obtained $163 million in cash from financing activities in 2000
compared to cash used for financing activities in 1999 of $59 million and
$31 million in 1998. Cash provided by financing activities in 2000 includes
$859 million from the issuance of notes payable which was partially offset by
the payment of $675 million in dividends to shareholders in February and
$34 million used to repurchase approximately 1 million shares of the Company's
class A common stock. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a
further discussion of the 2000 dividend. In the future, the Company intends to
retain its earnings to finance future growth and, therefore, does not anticipate
paying any additional cash dividends on its common stock. Any determination as
to the future payment of dividends will depend upon the future results of
operations, capital requirements and financial condition of the Company and its
subsidiaries and such other factors as the Board of Directors of the Company may
consider, including any contractual or statutory restrictions on the Company's
ability to

                                      S-36

pay dividends. Cash used for financing activities in 1999 included $60 million
to repurchase approximately 1 million shares of the Company's stock and the
payment of $18 million to AMR in settlement of an outstanding debt obligation.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $33 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2001.

    On February 4, 2000, the Company entered into a $300 million, senior
unsecured, revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Facility"), which expires on
September 14, 2004. At March 31, 2001, there was $149 million outstanding under
the Credit Facility. On July 20, 2001, the Company repaid $70 million of
borrowings under the Credit Facility by using existing cash, bringing the
outstanding borrowings to $79 million.

    On October 10, 2000, the Company entered into a $865 million bridge credit
agreement (the "Bridge Credit Agreement"). Proceeds of the Bridge Credit
Agreement were used to fund the acquisition of GetThere and to repay the entire
$200 million outstanding under a short-term $200 million, senior unsecured, term
loan agreement dated February 4, 2000. At March 31, 2001, the outstanding
balance of borrowings under the Bridge Credit Agreement was $710 million. On
July 2, 2001, the Company repaid $710 million of existing short-term borrowings
using proceeds from the EDS transaction and existing cash.

    During 1999, the Company entered into a syndicated lease financing facility
of approximately $310 million for the use of land and an existing office
building and the construction of a new corporate headquarters facility in
Southlake, Texas, as well as the development of new data center facilities in
Tulsa, Oklahoma. The financing facility will be accounted for as an operating
lease. The initial term of the lease extends through September 14, 2004, with
two optional one-year renewal periods thereafter. At the end of each renewal
period, the Company is required to either renew the lease, purchase the property
for its original cost, or arrange for the sale of the property to a third party,
with the Company guaranteeing to the lessor proceeds on such sale of
approximately 85% of the original fair value of the leased facility, or
approximately $264 million. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for further information regarding future minimum lease payments.

    The Company has an agreement with America Online, Inc. ("AOL") that
provides, among other things, that the Travelocity.com Web site will be the
exclusive reservations engine for AOL's Internet properties. Payments of up to
$200 million will be made to AOL and Travelocity.com and AOL will share
advertising revenues and commissions over the five-year term of the agreement.
Travelocity.com paid $10 million and $40 million to AOL during the first quarter
of 2001 and 2000, respectively, in connection with the agreement.

    Capital investments for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were
$51 million and $50 million, respectively. The Company has estimated capital
investments of approximately $140 to $160 million for 2001. This estimated
reduction from 2000 is due to anticipated decreases of IT asset acquisitions
resulting from the EDS transaction.

    On January 16, 2001 the Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to
$25 million of Travelocity.com common stock at management's discretion. During
the first quarter of 2001, the Company purchased 857,500 shares of common stock
of Travelocity.com in the open market at a cost of $17.9 million. The purchases
were made to offset the potentially dilutive effect on Sabre's equity ownership
percentage of Travelocity.com from employee stock options granted by
Travelocity.com. As of March 31, 2001 Sabre and its affiliates held a total of
2,033,970 shares of common stock and 33 million shares of Class A common stock
in Travelocity.com. Accordingly, the Company now holds an approximate 70%
economic interest in the Travelocity.com business. The Company may, from time to
time, effect future purchases for the same reason. These and any such future
purchases do not reflect any change in Sabre's publicly disclosed plans with
respect to Travelocity.com.

                                      S-37

    On March 10, 2000, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3
with the Securities and Exchange Commission through which the Company intends to
sell certain securities from time to time after the effective date of the
registration statement, which was April 17, 2000. The Company intends to use the
proceeds from the sale of any securities for general corporate purposes, which
might include the retirement of debt, additions to working capital, new product
capital and acquisitions.

    The Company believes available balances of cash and short-term investments,
cash flows from operations and funds available under the various credit
facilities, combined with the ability to raise funds from the sale of securities
in connection with the registration statement on Form S-3, will be sufficient to
meet the Company's cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

INTEREST IN EQUANT

    At December 31, 2000, American Airlines held 2.3 million depository
certificates representing beneficial ownership of common stock of Equant N.V., a
telecommunications company affiliated with the SITA Foundation for the economic
benefit of the Company. The depository certificates are issued by the SITA
Foundation, which holds the underlying Equant shares. On June 29, 2001, the SITA
Foundation completed a transaction whereby all of the SITA Foundation's Equant
shares were exchanged for shares of France Telecom. On July 3, 2001, the SITA
Foundation sold all of the Company's portion of the France Telecom shares, and
the Company received proceeds of approximately $47.7 million shortly thereafter.

MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

    During 2000, the Company completed the merger of Travelocity.com and
Preview. Additionally, the Company completed the acquisitions of Gradient and
GetThere, as well as acquired a 51% ownership interest in Dillon. For further
information regarding these transactions, see Note 5 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

INFLATION

    The Company believes that inflation has not had a material effect on its
results of operations.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

    The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
("FAS 133") effective January 1, 2001. FAS 133 requires the Company to recognize
all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not
hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a
hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of
derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged
assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other
comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The
ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately
recognized in earnings.

    At December 31, 2000, the Company was a party to certain derivative
instruments, including foreign currency forwards designated as a hedge related
to anticipated foreign currency expenditures, an interest rate/foreign currency
swap contract entered into in connection with Euro denominated debt related to
the Gradient acquisition (see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements)
and warrants received from Hotel Reservations Network in connection with an
affiliation agreement. The Company recorded a gain of approximately $7 million,
before minority interest and related income taxes, related to the adoption of
FAS 133 in the first quarter of 2001.

    In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations," and No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible

                                      S-38

Assets," effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the
new rules, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will
no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in
accordance with such Statements of Financial Accounting Standards. Other
intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

    The Company will apply the new rules for the accounting for goodwill and
other intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of 2002. The Company has
not yet determined what the effect of adoption of these Statements of Financial
Accounting Standards will be on the earnings and financial position of the
Company.

                                      S-39

                              DESCRIPTION OF NOTES

    The following description of the particular terms of the notes offered
hereby (referred to in the accompanying prospectus as the "debt securities")
supplements, and to the extent inconsistent therewith replaces, the description
of the general terms and provisions of the debt securities set forth in the
accompanying prospectus. The following summary of the notes is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the indenture referred to in the accompanying
prospectus. Certain capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in the
following discussion are defined below under "Certain Definitions" or under
"Description of Debt Securities" in the accompanying prospectus.

GENERAL

    The notes will constitute a separate series of debt securities under the
indenture, initially limited to $           million aggregate principal amount.
The notes will mature on       ,   , referred to as the "Maturity Date." We will
issue the notes in fully registered book-entry form only, without coupons, in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. Each note will bear
interest at the rate of   % from       , 2001 or from the most recent interest
payment date to which interest has been paid or provided for, payable
semiannually on       and       of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"),
commencing       , 2002, to the persons in whose names such notes are registered
at the close of business on the date fifteen days prior to such Interest Payment
Date.

    If any Interest Payment Date, date of redemption (the "Redemption Date") or
Maturity Date of any of the notes is not a business day, then payment of
principal, premium, if any, and interest will be made on the next succeeding
business day. No interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period
from such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Maturity Date, as the case
may be, to the date payment is made. Interest on the notes will be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

    The notes will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

    The notes will be unsecured unsubordinated obligations that will rank on a
parity with all of our other unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness from time to
time outstanding.

    We may, without the consent of the holders of the notes, issue additional
notes having the same ranking and same interest rate, maturity and other terms
as the notes. Any additional notes having such similar terms, together with the
notes will constitute a single series of notes under the indenture.

OPTIONAL REDEMPTION

    The notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time, and at our
option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

    - 100% of the principal amount of notes then outstanding, or

    - the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of
      principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments
      of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date) discounted to the
      Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting
      of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus       basis
      points, as calculated by an Independent Investment Banker.

plus, in either of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the
Redemption Date.

    "Adjusted Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any Redemption Date:

    - the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the
      immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published
      statistical release designated "H.15(519)" or any successor publication
      which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal

                                      S-40

      Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United
      States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption
      "Treasury Constant Maturities," for the maturity corresponding to the
      Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or
      after the Remaining Life, yields for the two published maturities most
      closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined
      and the adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from
      such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or

    - if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the
      week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the
      rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of
      the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable
      Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal
      to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.

    The Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third business day
preceding the Redemption Date.

    "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security
selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to
the remaining term of the securities to be redeemed that would be utilized, at
the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in
pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the
remaining term of the notes ("Remaining Life").

    "Comparable Treasury Price" means (1) the average of five Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and
lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent
Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

    "Independent Investment Banker" means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers
appointed by us.

    "Reference Treasury Dealer" means:

    - each of Banc of America Securities LLC, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Morgan
      Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. and Salomon Smith
      Barney Inc. and their respective successors; provided that, if any of the
      foregoing ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New
      York City (a "Primary Treasury Dealer"), we will substitute another
      Primary Treasury Dealer; and

    - any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by us.

    "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to each Reference
Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the
Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable
Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount)
quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the third business day preceding such Redemption Date.

    We will mail a notice of redemption at least 30 days but not more than
60 days before the Redemption Date to each holder of notes to be redeemed. If we
elect to partially redeem the notes, the trustee will select in a fair and
appropriate manner the notes to be redeemed.

    Unless we default in payment of the redemption price, on and after the
Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the notes or portions thereof
called for redemption.

BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM, FORM AND DELIVERY

    The notes will be represented by one or more global securities registered in
the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the Depository Trust Company, which is
the "Depositary," and the provisions set

                                      S-41

forth under "Description of Debt Securities--Book-Entry Debt Securities" in the
accompanying prospectus will apply to the notes.

    The Depositary is a limited-purpose trust company organized under New York
banking law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of New York banking
law, a member of the United States Federal Reserve System, a "clearing
corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a
"clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Depositary holds securities
that its participants deposit with the Depositary. The Depositary also
facilitates the settlement among its participants of securities transactions,
such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic
computerized book-entry changes in participants' accounts, thereby eliminating
the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct participants
include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing
corporations and certain other organizations. The Depositary is owned by a
number of its direct participants and by The New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the
American Stock Exchange, Inc., and the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. Access to the Depositary's system is also available to indirect
participants in the Depositary such as securities brokers and dealers, banks and
trust companies that clear through, or maintain a custodial relationship with, a
direct participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to the
Depositary and its participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

    According to the Depositary, the foregoing information with respect to the
Depositary has been provided to the financial community for informational
purposes only and is not intended to serve as a representation, warranty or
contract modification of any kind.

    Purchases of the notes under the Depositary's system must be made by or
through direct participants, which will receive a credit for the notes on the
Depositary's records. The beneficial ownership interest of each actual purchaser
of each note is in turn to be recorded on the direct and indirect participants'
respective records. Beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from
the Depositary of their purchase, but beneficial owners are expected to receive
written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic
statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participant through
which the beneficial owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership
interest in the notes are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of
participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not
receive certificates representing their ownership interest in the notes except
in the event that use of the book-entry system for the notes is discontinued.

    To facilitate subsequent transfers, all notes deposited with the Depositary
by participants in the Depositary will be registered in the name of Cede & Co.
The deposit of the notes with the Depositary and their registration in the name
of Cede & Co. effect no change in beneficial ownership. The Depositary has no
knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the notes; the Depositary's records
reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts such
notes are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The
participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on
behalf of their customers.

    Conveyance of notices and other communications by the Depositary to direct
participants, by direct participants to indirect participants, and by direct
participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by
arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as
may be in effect from time to time.

    Neither the Depositary nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with respect to
the notes. Under its usual procedures, the Depositary mails an omnibus proxy to
us as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede &
Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those direct participants to whose accounts
the notes are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to
the omnibus proxy).

                                      S-42

    Payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, on the notes will be
made to Cede & Co. The Depositary's practice is to credit direct participants'
accounts on the relevant payment date in accordance with their respective
holdings shown on the Depositary's records unless the Depositary has reason to
believe that it will not receive payment on such payment date. Payments by
participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and
customary practices, as is the case with securities for the accounts of
customers in bearer form or registered in "street-name," and will be the
responsibility of each participant and not of the Depositary, the underwriters,
or our company, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in
effect from time to time. Payment of principal, interest and premium, if any, to
Cede & Co. is our responsibility or the responsibility of the trustee.
Disbursement of such payments to direct participants is the responsibility of
the Depositary, and disbursement of such payments to the beneficial owners of
the notes is the responsibility of direct and indirect participants in the
Depositary.

    The Depositary may discontinue providing its services as securities
depository with respect to the notes at any time by giving reasonable notice to
us. Under such circumstances and in the event that a successor securities
depository is not obtained, certificates for the notes are required to be
printed and delivered. In addition, we may decide to discontinue use of the
system of book-entry transfers through the Depositary (or a successor securities
depository). In that event, certificates will be printed and delivered.

    We will not have any responsibility or obligation to participants in the
Depositary or the persons for whom they act as nominees with respect to the
accuracy of the records of the Depositary, its nominee or any direct or indirect
participant with respect to any ownership interest in the notes, or with respect
to payments to or providing of notice for the direct participants, the indirect
participants or the beneficial owners of the notes.

    The information contained herein under the caption "Description of
Notes--Book-Entry System, Form and Delivery" concerning the Depositary and the
Depositary's book-entry system has been obtained from sources that we believe to
be reliable. Neither we, the trustee nor the underwriters, dealers or agents
take responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof.

THE TRUSTEE

    The trustee under the indenture is SunTrust Bank. In the ordinary course of
its business, SunTrust Bank and its affiliates have performed, and may in the
future perform, commercial banking and related services for us and have received
customary compensation therefor. For example, SunTrust Bank is a co-agent in our
$300 million senior unsecured line of credit and is a lender and equity holder
under our $310 million syndicated lease financing facility.

    The trustee, upon an event of default under the indenture must use the same
degree of care as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct of his
or her own affairs. Subject to this provision, the trustee is under no
obligation to exercise any of the powers given it by the indenture at the
request of any holder of debt securities unless it is offered reasonable
security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that it might
incur. The trustee is not required to spend or risk its own money or otherwise
become financially liable while performing its duties unless it reasonable
believes that it will receive indemnify satisfactory to it.

    The indenture contains certain limitations on the rights of the trustee,
should it become a creditor of us, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases
or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as
security or otherwise. The trustee will be permitted to engage in other
transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest within the
meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, it must either eliminate such conflict or
resign.

                                      S-43

    The trustee may resign with respect to the notes by giving a written notice
to us. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes
may remove the trustee by notifying us and the trustee. We may remove the
trustee if:

    - the trustee acquires a "conflicting interest," as such term is defined in
      the Trust Indenture Act, and fails to comply with the Trust Indenture Act;

    - the trustee fails to comply with the eligibility requirements provided in
      the Indenture;

    - the trustee:

       - is incapable of acting

       - is adjudged to be bankrupt or insolvent, or

       - commences a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding; or

    - a receiver is appointed for the trustee, its property or its affairs for
      the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation.

    If the trustee resigns or is removed or if the office of the trustee is
otherwise vacant, we will appoint a successor trustee in accordance with the
provisions of the indenture.

    A resignation or removal of the trustee and appointment of a successor
trustee shall become effective only upon the successor trustee's acceptance of
the appointment as provided in the indenture.

                                  UNDERWRITERS

    Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in an underwriting
agreement, dated       , 2001 (the "Underwriting Agreement"), the underwriters
named below (the "Underwriters") have severally agreed to purchase, and we have
agreed to sell to them, severally, the respective principal amount of the notes
set forth opposite their respective names below:

    The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the several
Underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the notes is subject to, among
other things, the approval of certain legal matters by their counsel and certain
other conditions. The Underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all of the
notes if any are taken.

    The Underwriters initially propose to offer part of the notes directly to
the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page hereof and
part to certain dealers at a price that represents a concession not in excess of
  % of the principal amount of the notes. Any Underwriter may allow, and any
such dealers may reallow, a concession to certain other dealers not to exceed
% of the principal amount of the notes. After the initial offering of the notes,
the offering price and other selling terms may from time to time be varied by
the Underwriters.

    SABRE has agreed to indemnify the several Underwriters against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

    We do not intend to apply for listing of the notes on a national securities
exchange, but have been advised by the Underwriters that they intend to make a
market in the notes. The Underwriters are not obligated, however, to do so and
may discontinue their market making at any time without notice. No assurance can
be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the notes.

    In order to facilitate the offering of the notes, the Underwriters may
engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of
the notes. Specifically, the Underwriters may overallot in connection with the
offering, creating a short position in the notes for their own account. In
addition, to cover overallotments or to stabilize the price of the notes, the
Underwriters may bid for, and purchase, the notes in the open market. Finally,
the Underwriters may reclaim selling concessions allowed to an Underwriter or a
dealer for distributing the notes in the offering, if they repurchase previously
distributed notes in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in
stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize
or maintain the market price for the notes above independent market levels. The
Underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of
these activities at any time.

    Certain of the Underwriters and their respective affiliates have, from time
to time, performed various investment or commercial banking and financial
advisory services for us in the ordinary course of business.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

subsidiary is Sabre Inc., which is the successor to certain businesses that were
previously operated as subsidiaries or divisions of American Airlines, Inc.
("American Airlines") or AMR Corporation ("AMR"). AMR spun-off Sabre on

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    BASIS OF PRESENTATION--The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all
of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
these financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results
of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. The preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates are
forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from these
estimates. The Company's quarterly financial data should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended
December 31, 2000 (including the notes thereto), set forth in Sabre's Annual
Report on Form 10-K.

    RECLASSIFICATIONS--Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2000
financial statements to conform to the 2001 presentation.

3. DERIVATIVES

    The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 133")
effective January 1, 2001. FAS 133 requires the Company to recognize all
derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges
must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge,
depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives
will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets,
liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other
comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The
ineffective portion of the change in fair value of a derivative designated as a
hedge will be immediately recognized in earnings. For derivative instruments not
designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss is recognized in current
earnings during the period of change.

    At January 1, 2001, the Company was a party to certain derivative
instruments, including foreign currency forwards related to anticipated foreign
currency expenditures over the next twelve months, an interest rate/foreign
currency swap contract entered into in connection with Euro-denominated debt

                           SABRE HOLDINGS CORPORATION

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                                  (UNAUDITED)

3. DERIVATIVES (CONTINUED)
related to the acquisition of Gradient Solutions Limited during 2000 and
warrants received from Hotel Reservations Network ("HRN Warrants") by
Travelocity.com in connection with an affiliation agreement.

    The Company has designated its foreign currency forwards as a cash flow
hedge. As such, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the forwards is
reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into
earnings as a component of cost of revenues in the same period or periods during
which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Effectiveness is measured by
comparing the changes in the present value of the anticipated foreign currency
denominated expenses, measured using forward rates, arising from the hedged
forecasted expenses with the changes in the fair value of the forward contract
using forward exchange rates. Any gain or loss on the forwards in excess of the
cumulative change in the present value of the anticipated foreign currency
denominated expenses, if any, is recognized in other income during the period of
change. Cumulative effect of adoption of FAS 133 related to foreign currency
forwards was insignificant. During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the
Company recorded a loss of approximately $2 million, net of deferred income
taxes of $1 million in other comprehensive income, relating to changes in the
fair value of the foreign currency forwards. Amounts reclassified from other
comprehensive income to earnings during the three months ended March 31, 2001
relating to the forwards were not significant. There was no hedging
ineffectiveness recorded in earnings relating to the forwards during the three
months ended March 31, 2001.

    The Company also recognized a cumulative gain in earnings upon adoption of
FAS 133 of approximately $3 million, net of minority interest of approximately
$2 million and deferred income taxes of approximately $2 million, relating to
the HRN Warrants. During March 2001, the Company extended its affiliation
agreement with HRN through July 31, 2005 and expanded the scope of the HRN
relationship. In connection with the expanded and extended agreement, the
Company received additional vested HRN Warrants with a fair value of
approximately $30 million on the date of receipt. The Company will recognize
this amount as revenue over the extended term of the agreement. The Company may
also vest in additional warrants in the future based upon the achievement of
certain performance metrics. The Company recorded a loss of approximately
$6 million in other income during the three months ended March 31, 2001 relating
to changes in the fair value of the HRN Warrants as a result of the adoption of
FAS 133 mentioned above, including a $3 million loss related to the completion
of two cashless exercises of warrants to receive HRN common stock.

    The estimated fair values of the Company's derivatives as of March 31, 2001
are provided below (in thousands):

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

    On March 14, 2001, the Company entered into agreements with Electronic Data
Systems Corporation ("EDS") which provide for (i) the sale of the Company's
infrastructure outsourcing business and information technology ("IT")
infrastructure assets and associated real estate to EDS (the "Asset Purchase
Agreement"), (ii) a 10-year contract with EDS to manage the Company's IT systems
(the "IT Outsourcing Agreement"), and (iii) agreements between the Company and
EDS to jointly market IT services and software solutions to the travel and
transportation industries (the "Marketing Agreements"). The transaction was
effective July 1, 2001.

    This disposition of the infrastructure outsourcing business represents the
disposal of a business segment under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion
No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations--Reporting the Effects of Disposal
of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently
Occurring Events and Transactions" ("APB 30"). The accompanying consolidated
statements have been reclassified to present the results of discontinued
operations separately for all periods presented. Summarized financial
information for the discontinued operations is as follows (in thousands):

    The Company currently anticipates recording a gain upon closing of the
transaction of approximately $20 million, net of related income taxes.

    Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company sold its infrastructure
outsourcing contracts, Web hosting contracts and IT infrastructure assets to EDS
for approximately $661 million in cash. Up to approximately $31 million of this
amount is contingently refundable to EDS based, in part, upon the amount of
revenues received by EDS from US Airways under its outsourcing contract during
the 30 months following the close of the transaction. In addition, the Company
may receive aggregate additional payments from EDS for these assets ranging from
$6 million to $25 million on April 15, 2003 and 2004, depending on the amount of
revenues received by EDS under certain other airline outsourcing contracts.

    The assets transferred include the Company's outsourcing contracts with
American Airlines, US Airways, Gulf Air, and Dollar/Thrifty Rent-A-Car, and data
centers, network and desktop and mid-range computer systems. Those assets are
used for the Company's outsourcing business and for transaction processing in
its travel marketing and distribution segment, including the operation of the
Sabre global distribution system ("SABRE system"). Approximately 4,000 of the
Company's employees, located mostly in the United States, transitioned to
employment with EDS upon closing of the transaction. The Company used the cash
proceeds from the sale to reduce existing debt.

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
    The Company retained its core travel marketing and distribution business,
including the line of business related to contracts with travel suppliers and
travel agency subscribers for participation in the SABRE system; the Company's
investment in the Travelocity.com-SM- consumer on-line business and GetThere-TM-
corporate on-line booking business; and contracts with travel suppliers, travel
agencies and online travel sites for Web site development and booking engine
services. The Company plans to continue to focus its business on remaining the
global leader in all channels of travel distribution.

    The Company retained contracts and assets that are directly related to its
core travel marketing and distribution business. Those include its multihost
business, which provides internal reservation systems for airline customers;
contracts to provide software applications development, maintenance and
licensing; the Company's intellectual property assets, including its software
applications portfolios; and the eMergo-TM- suite of airline solutions offered
by the Company as an online application service provider.

    Under the IT Outsourcing Agreement, EDS will provide, manage and operate the
Company's IT infrastructure, including data center management, applications
hosting, selected applications development, data assurance, and network
management services. The term of the outsourcing agreement is 10 years. The
Outsourcing Agreement is expected to generate future cost savings for the
Company.

    Under the Marketing Agreements, the Company and EDS will jointly market IT
services and software solutions to the travel and transportation industries. As
part of the marketing relationship, EDS will contribute $20 million toward
enhancing and promoting the Company's portfolio of airline software solutions.
EDS has also agreed to move its travel bookings to the Company's SABRE system
and to implement the Company's GetThere corporate booking platform in its
organization.

other providers of travel and travel-related products and services. The
Travelocity.com segment distributes travel services to individual consumers.
Through the Travelocity.com Web sites, individual consumers can compare prices,
make travel reservations and obtain destination information online. GetThere
distributes travel services on-line directly to businesses. GetThere operates
one of the world's largest Internet marketplaces focused on business-to-business
travel services and powers online travel sites for leading airlines. The Airline
Solutions and Emerging Businesses segment primarily provides software
development and consulting solutions and other products and services to airlines
and other travel providers. The Company's reportable segments are strategic
business units that offer different products and services and are managed
separately because each business requires different market strategies.

    The segment information for 2001 is presented on a basis that excludes
certain special items that are summarized below. The 2000 data has been
reclassified to conform with this presentation. This presentation is consistent
with the manner in which the Company's management assesses the operating
performance of its business segments.

7. STOCK OPTIONS--US AIRWAYS, INC.

    In December 1999, US Airways, Inc. ("US Airways") exercised one of its two
tranches of options to acquire 3 million shares of the Company's Class A Common
Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the exercised options, the Company paid
approximately $81 million to US Airways on January 5, 2000 instead of issuing
shares to US Airways.

    After the Company's payment of the $675 million dividend to shareholders on
February 18, 2000 the Company adjusted the terms of the second tranche of stock
options held by US Airways so that the aggregate intrinsic value of those
options remained the same as before the payment of the dividend, taking into
consideration the effect of the dividend on the Company's stock price.

    On December 31, 2000, the opportunity of US Airways to select an alternative
vehicle in place of receiving shares of the Company's stock upon exercise of the
second tranche of options expired. As a result, beginning January 1, 2001, those
options held by US Airways began to be carried as an equity instrument instead
of a liability instrument. The fair market value of the options on January 1,
2001 of $100 million is included in Additional Paid in Capital on the balance
sheet.

8. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS

    In March 2001, the Company purchased for approximately $46 million the Sabre
Pacific travel distribution business from TIAS, a travel distribution alliance
among three airlines in Australia and New Zealand. The acquisition has been
accounted for as a purchase. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been
recorded at their fair values and the excess of cost over the estimated fair
value of the net tangible assets has been recorded as goodwill. The purchase
will give travel suppliers, travel agents and travelers in the South Pacific
region greater access to Sabre's global resources and technology, potentially
boosting Sabre's market share in that region. The following table summarizes the
allocation of the purchase price and amounts allocated to goodwill (in
thousands):

               REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Sabre Holdings Corporation

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sabre
Holdings Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

    In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Sabre Holdings Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and
the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

                           SABRE HOLDINGS CORPORATION

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

    Sabre Holdings Corporation ("Sabre") is a holding company. Its sole direct
subsidiary is Sabre Inc., which is the successor to the businesses of The Sabre
Group which were previously operated as subsidiaries or divisions of American
Airlines, Inc. ("American") or AMR Corporation ("AMR"). The Sabre Group was
formed by AMR to capitalize on synergies of combining AMR's information
technology businesses under common management. On March 15, 2000, AMR exchanged
all of its 107,374,000 shares of the Company's Class B common stock for an equal
number of shares of the Company's Class A common stock and distributed all those
shares to AMR shareholders as a stock dividend ("the Spin-off"). AMR no longer
has any ownership interest in the Company. Unless otherwise indicated,
references herein to the "Company" include Sabre Holdings Corporation and its
consolidated subsidiaries.

    The Company is the world leader in the electronic distribution of travel
through its SABRE computer reservations system ("the SABRE system"). The Company
also engages in business-to-consumer and business-to-business travel services
and distribution through its Travelocity.com and GetThere subsidiaries. In
addition, the Company is a leading provider of software solutions to the travel
and transportation industries. Prior to the agreement discussed in Note 2, the
Company was also a leading provider of information technology infrastructure
outsourcing services to the travel and transportation industries.

2. SALE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE OUTSOURCING BUSINESS

    On March 14, 2001, the Company entered into agreements with Electronic Data
Systems Corporation ("EDS") which provide for (i) the sale of the Company's
information technology outsourcing business (the "Outsourcing Business") and
information technology ("IT") infrastructure assets and associated real estate
to EDS (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"), (ii) a 10-year contract with EDS to
manage the Company's IT systems (the "IT Outsourcing Agreement"), and
(iii) agreements between the Company and EDS to jointly market IT services and
software solutions to the travel and transportation industries (the "Marketing
Agreements").

    Effective on July 1, 2001, the Company and EDS completed the sale of the
Company's infrastructure Outsourcing Business contracts, Web hosting contracts,
and IT infrastructure assets and associated real estate to EDS for approximately
$661 million in cash, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. Up to
approximately $31 million of this amount is contingently refundable to EDS
based, in part, upon the amount of revenues received by EDS from US Airways
under its outsourcing contract during the 30 months following the close of the
transaction. In addition, the Company may receive aggregate additional payments
from EDS for these assets ranging from $6 million to $25 million on April 15,
2003 and 2004, depending on the amount of revenues received by EDS under certain
other airline outsourcing contracts. On July 2, 2001, the company repaid
$710 million of existing short-term borrowings using proceeds from the EDS sale
and existing cash balances. Terms of the debt required a payment to be made with
the proceeds of the sale of a significant portion of the Company's assets.

    The assets transferred included, among other things, the Company's
outsourcing contracts with American, US Airways, Gulf Air, and Dollar/Thrifty
Rent-A-Car, and its data centers, network and desktop and mid range computer
systems. These assets were used for the Company's outsourcing business and for
transaction processing in its travel marketing and distribution segment,
including the operation of the Sabre global distribution system ("SABRE
system"). Approximately 4,000 of the

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

2. SALE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE OUTSOURCING BUSINESS
(CONTINUED)
Company's employees, located mostly in the United States, were transitioned to
employment with EDS upon closing of the transaction.

    The Company retained its travel marketing and distribution business,
Travelocity.com, the Company's consumer on-line travel services business,
GetThere, the Company's corporate on-line travel services business, and its
software development and consulting solutions business. The Company plans to
continue to focus its business on remaining the global leader in all channels of
travel distribution.

    The Company also retained contracts and assets that are directly related to
its core travel marketing and distribution business. Those include its multihost
business, which provides internal reservation systems for airline customers,
contracts to provide software applications development, maintenance and
licensing, the Company's intellectual property assets, including its software
applications portfolios, and the eMergo suite of airline solutions offered by
the Company as an online application service provider.

    Under the IT Outsourcing Agreement, EDS will provide, manage and operate the
Company's IT infrastructure, including data center management, applications
hosting, selected applications development, data assurance, and network
management services. The term of the IT Outsourcing Agreement is 10 years and is
expected to generate future cost savings for the Company.

    Under the Marketing Agreements, the Company and EDS will jointly market
certain IT services and software solutions to the travel and transportation
industries. As part of the marketing relationship, EDS will contribute
$20 million toward enhancing and promoting the Company's portfolio of airline
software solutions. EDS has also agreed to move its travel bookings to the
Company's SABRE system and to implement the Company's GetThere corporate booking
platform in its organization.

    This disposition of the infrastructure outsourcing business represents the
disposal of a business segment under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion
No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations--Reporting the Effects of Disposal
of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently
Occurring Events and Transactions" ("APB 30"). As a result of this transaction,
the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2000,
1999 and 1998 and the related notes thereto have been reclassified to present
the infrastructure outsourcing business as a discontinued operation. The balance
sheets as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the related statements of cash flows
for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, have not been reclassified
as permitted by APB 30.

    Summarized financial information for the discontinued operations is as
follows (in thousands):

    No interest expense has been allocated to the discontinued operations.

    The Company currently anticipates recording a gain during the third quarter
of 2001 of approximately $20 million to $30 million, net of related income
taxes, as a result of the transaction.

                           SABRE HOLDINGS CORPORATION

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    BASIS OF PRESENTATION--The Company consolidates all of its majority-owned
subsidiaries and companies over which the Company exercises control through
operating or financing agreements. The Company accounts for interests in joint
ventures which it does not control using the equity method. The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company after elimination of
all significant intercompany balances and transactions.

    The consolidated financial statements reflect the results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows of the Company as a majority-owned subsidiary
of AMR through March 15, 2000 and may not be indicative of actual results of
operations and financial position of the Company under other ownership.
Management believes the consolidated income statements include a reasonable
allocation of administrative costs, which are described in Note 7, incurred by
AMR on behalf of the Company. Certain reclassifications have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 presentation.

    STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS--Marketable securities, without regard to remaining
maturity at acquisition, are not considered cash equivalents for purposes of the
statement of cash flows.

    DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION--The Company's depreciation and amortization
policies are as follows:


                                                           
Property and Equipment:
  Buildings.................................................  30 years
  Service contract equipment................................  3 to 5 years
  Computer equipment........................................  3 to 5 years
  Furniture and fixtures....................................  5 to 15 years
                                                              Lesser of lease term or useful
  Leasehold improvements....................................  life
  Capitalized software......................................  3 to 7 years
Other Assets:
  Internally developed software.............................  3 to 7 years
  Intangible assets.........................................  3 to 20 years


    Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization, which is calculated on the straight-line basis. Service contract
equipment consists of hardware provided primarily to subscribers of the SABRE
system. Depreciation of property and equipment included in continuing operations
totaled approximately $146 million, $161 million and $146 million in 2000, 1999
and 1998, respectively. Amortization of other assets included in continuing
operations was $126 million in 2000, $14 million in 1999 and $14 million in
1998. Other assets are amortized on the straight-line basis over the periods
indicated. Accumulated amortization of other assets approximated $210 million
and $80 million at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

    REVENUE RECOGNITION--The Company provides various travel marketing and
distribution services using the SABRE system. As compensation for services
provided, fees are collected from airline, car rental, and hotel vendors and
other providers of travel-related products and services ("associates") for
reservations booked through the SABRE system. The fee per booking charged to
associates is dependent upon the level of functionality within the SABRE system
at which the associate participates. Revenue for airline travel reservations is
recognized at the time of the booking of the reservation, net of estimated
future cancellations. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company had recorded
booking fee cancellation reserves of approximately $21 million and $20 million,
respectively. Revenue for car rental,

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
hotel bookings and other travel providers is recognized at the time the
reservation is used by the customer. The Company also enters into service
contracts with subscribers (primarily travel agencies) to provide access to the
SABRE system, hardware, software, hardware maintenance and other support
services. Fees billed on service contracts are recognized as revenue in the
month earned.

    The Company, through its ownership interest in the Travelocity.com
partnership, also receives commissions from travel suppliers for air travel,
hotel rooms, car rentals, vacation packages and cruises booked through the
Travelocity.com Web site and advertising revenues from the delivery of
advertising impressions on the Travelocity.com Web site. Commissions from air
travel providers are recognized upon confirmation of pending payment of the
commission. Commissions from other travel providers are recognized upon receipt.
Advertising revenues are recognized in the period that advertising impressions
are delivered.

    The Company receives fees from travel suppliers and corporate customers for
transactions booked through GetThere's Web-based travel booking systems and
recognizes the associated revenues in the month of the transaction. In addition,
GetThere also charges certain up-front fees, such as implementation, franchise,
and license fees. The revenues for those fees are deferred and generally
recognized over the term of the related contract.

    Additionally, the Company provides other services to companies in the travel
industry and other industries worldwide. Revenue from software license fees for
standard software products is recognized when the software is delivered, fees
are fixed and determinable, no undelivered elements are essential to the
functionality of delivered software and collection is probable. Fees for
software maintenance are recognized ratably over the life of the contract.
Services on long-term software development and consulting contracts are provided
under both a time-and-materials basis and a fixed fee basis. Revenues with
respect to time-and-materials contracts are recognized as services are
performed. Revenues from services provided under fixed fee contracts are
recognized using the percentage of completion method of accounting, based on
hours completed in comparison to total hours projected at completion. Losses, if
any, on long-term contracts are recognized when the current estimate of total
contract costs indicates a loss on a contract is probable. As a result of
contractual billing terms, at December 31, 2000 and 1999 the Company had
recorded accounts receivable of approximately $25 million and $10 million,
respectively, that had not been billed to customers and deferred revenues of
approximately $35 million and $19 million, respectively, related to advance
payments from customers. Approximately $9 million of deferred revenues were
noncurrent as of each balance sheet date.

    ADVERTISING COSTS--Advertising costs are generally expensed as incurred.
Internet advertising expenses are recognized based on the terms of individual
agreements, but generally over the greater of the ratio of the number of
impressions delivered over the total number of contracted impressions, or on a
straight-line basis over the term of the contract. Advertising costs related to
continuing operations expensed in 2000, 1999 and 1998, including amounts paid to
American under the terms of the Marketing Cooperation Agreement (see Note 7),
totaled approximately $90 million, $49 million and $37 million, respectively.

    INCOME TAXES--The entities comprising the Company have been included in the
consolidated federal income tax return of AMR through March 15, 2000. The
Company and AMR entered into a tax sharing agreement effective July 1, 1996 (the
"Tax Sharing Agreement"), which provides for the allocation of tax liabilities
during the tax periods the Company is included in the consolidated federal,
state and local income tax returns filed by AMR. The Tax Sharing Agreement
generally requires the

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Company to pay to AMR the amount of federal, state and local income taxes that
the Company would have paid had it ceased to be a member of the AMR consolidated
tax group. The Company is jointly and severally liable for the federal income
tax of AMR and the other companies included in the consolidated return for all
periods in which the Company is included in the AMR consolidated group. AMR has
agreed, however, to indemnify the Company for any liability for taxes reported
or required to be reported on a consolidated return arising from operations of
subsidiaries of AMR other than the Company.

    Except for certain items specified in the Tax Sharing Agreement, AMR
generally retains any potential tax benefit carryforwards, and remains obligated
to pay all taxes attributable to periods before July 2, 1996. The Tax Sharing
Agreement also grants the Company certain limited participation rights in any
disputes with tax authorities.

    As a result of the Spin-off, the Company is no longer consolidated with AMR
for tax purposes (see Note 7). Therefore, the Company will separately report and
file federal, state, and local income tax returns for the taxable periods
beginning March 16, 2000.

    The results of operations of consolidated subsidiaries of the Company are
included in the Company's federal income tax return, with the exception of
Travelocity.com Inc., which files a separate federal income tax return. The
Company does include its proportionate share of the results of operations of the
Travelocity.com partnership in its federal income tax return (see Note 10).

    The provision for deferred income taxes has been computed using the
liability method as if the Company and Travelocity.com Inc. were separate
taxpayers during all periods presented. Under the liability method, deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between
financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and are
measured using the enacted tax rates and laws. The measurement of deferred tax
assets is adjusted by a valuation allowance, if necessary, to recognize the
extent to which, based on available evidence, the future tax benefits more
likely than not will be realized.

    SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS--All costs incurred in the development of
software which is licensed to third parties that have the option to take
possession of the software are classified as research and development costs and
are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established.
Once technological feasibility has been established, such costs are capitalized
until the product is ready for service. The Company defines technological
feasibility in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or
Otherwise Marketed." Technological feasibility is achieved upon completion of
all planning, designing, coding and testing activities that are necessary to
establish that a product can be produced according to its design specifications.

    Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement
of Position 98-1, "Accounting for Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1"). SOP 98-1 requires the capitalization of certain
costs incurred during internal-use software development projects. Capitalizable
costs consist of (a) certain external direct costs of materials and services
incurred in developing or obtaining internal-use computer software, (b) payroll
and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who
devote time to the project and (c) interest costs incurred. Research and
development costs incurred during the preliminary project stage or incurred for
data conversion activities, and training, maintenance and general and
administrative or overhead costs

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
are expensed as incurred. Costs that cannot be separated between maintenance of,
and relatively minor upgrades and enhancements are also expensed as incurred.

    The Company amortizes capitalized development costs using the straight-line
method over the estimated economic life of the software. At December 31, 2000
and 1999, unamortized software development costs approximated $33 million and
$24 million, respectively. Research and development costs incurred in software
development and included in continuing operations approximated $57 million,
$46 million and $39 million for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

    CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK--The Company's customers are primarily located
in the United States, Europe, Canada, Asia and Latin America, and are
concentrated in the travel industry. Approximately 12%, 12% and 12% of revenues
from continuing operations in 2000, 1999 and 1998 were related to American and
other subsidiaries of AMR. Approximately 9%, 12% and 9% of revenues from
continuing operations in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, were related to
US Airways, Inc. ("US Airways"). Each of the Company's segments recognizes
revenues from transactions with American and US Airways. The Company generally
does not require security or collateral from its customers as a condition of
sale. The Company maintained an allowance for losses of approximately
$21 million and $12 million at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, based
upon the amount of accounts receivable expected to prove uncollectible.

    USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of these financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires that certain
amounts be recorded based on estimates and assumptions made by management.
Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.

    CUSTOMER INCENTIVES--Certain service contracts with significant subscribers
contain booking fee productivity clauses and other provisions which allow
subscribers to receive cash payments, and/or various amounts of additional
equipment and other services from the Company at no cost. The Company
establishes liabilities for these commitments and recognizes the related expense
as the subscribers earn incentives based on the applicable contractual terms.
Accrued incentives at December 31, 2000 and 1999 were approximately $80 million
and $70 million, respectively. Periodically, the Company makes cash payments to
subscribers at inception or modification of a service contract, which are
deferred and amortized over the expected life of the service contract, generally
three years. The service contracts are priced so that the additional airline and
other booking fees generated over the life of the contract will exceed the cost
of the incentives provided.

    STOCK AWARDS AND OPTIONS--The Company accounts for stock awards and options
(including awards of AMR stock and stock options granted to employees prior to
July 2, 1996 which were converted to Sabre Holdings stock and stock options) in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). No compensation expense is recognized for
stock option grants if the exercise price is at or above the fair market value
of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense relating to
other stock awards is recognized over the period during which the employee
renders service to the Company necessary to earn the award.

    In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensation" ("FIN 44"), an interpretation of APB 25. FIN 44, which was adopted
by the Company prospectively as of July 1, 2000, requires certain changes to
previous practice regarding accounting for certain stock compensation
arrangements. FIN 44

does not change APB 25's intrinsic value method, under which compensation
expense is generally not recognized for grants of stock options to employees
with an exercise price equal to the market price of the stock at the date of
grant, but it has narrowed its application. The primary effect of the adoption
of FIN 44 was the requirement to record deferred compensation of approximately
$22 million related to unvested employee stock options issued in connection with
the acquisition of GetThere (see Note 5).

    COMPREHENSIVE INCOME--Comprehensive income is defined as the change in
equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other
events and circumstances from non-owner sources. For the years ended
December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, the differences between net earnings and total
comprehensive income were not significant and consisted primarily of unrealized
gains and losses on marketable securities.

    FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS--The carrying value of the Company's financial
instruments (excluding the depository certificates discussed below), including
cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable, and short and long-term debt
instruments approximate their respective fair values at December 31, 2000 and
1999.

    At December 31, 2000, American held 2.3 million depository certificates
representing beneficial ownership of common stock of Equant N.V. ("Equant"), a
telecommunications company affiliated with Societe Internationale de
Telecommunications Aeronautiques ("SITA"), for the economic benefit of the
Company. The depository certificates are issued by the SITA Foundation, which
holds the underlying Equant shares. Based upon the market value of the Equant's
publicly-traded common stock, the estimated value of the depository certificates
held on behalf of the Company by American was approximately $60 million and
$258 million at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

    In November 2000, an agreement was announced in which the SITA Foundation
will exchange approximately 68 million Equant shares for France Telecom shares.
The SITA Foundation will receive one France Telecom share for every 2.2 Equant
shares. The agreement is conditional upon certain regulatory approvals from the
European Union and the United States authorities. It is also subject to certain
customary termination provisions. Completion is expected to take place in the
first half of 2001. Based upon the terms of the SITA Foundation exchange
agreement with France Telecom, the depository certificates have an estimated
value of approximately $90 million at December 31, 2000.

    The Company's carrying value of these certificates was nominal at
December 31, 2000 and 1999 as certain restrictions limit the Company's ability
to freely dispose of the certificates. Any future disposal of such depository
certificates, or shares of France Telecom received in exchange for the
depository certificates, may result in additional gains to the Company.

    TREASURY STOCK--The Company accounts for the purchase of treasury stock at
cost. Upon reissuance of shares of treasury stock, the Company records any
difference between the weighted-average cost of such shares and any proceeds
received as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital.

    RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT--The Company has adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 133") effective January 1, 2001. FAS 133 requires
the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.
Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income.
If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in
the fair value of derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair
value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or
recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is

recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair
value will be immediately recognized in earnings.

    At December 31, 2000, the Company was a party to certain derivative
instruments, including foreign currency forwards designated as a hedge related
to anticipated foreign currency expenditures, an interest rate/foreign currency
swap contract entered into in connection with Euro denominated debt related to
the Gradient acquisition (see Note 5) and warrants received from Hotel
Reservations Network in connection with an affiliation agreement. These
instruments were not significant to the Company's financial position or results
of operations as of or for the year ending December 31, 2000. The Company
recorded a gain of approximately $7 million, before minority interest and
related income taxes, related to the adoption of FAS 133 in the first quarter of
2001.

    The Company expects that the majority of marketable securities will be sold
within one year, regardless of maturity date. The Company primarily invests in
high credit quality debt instruments with an active resale market and money
market funds to ensure liquidity and the ability to readily convert its
investments into cash to fund current operations, or satisfy other cash
requirements as needed. Accordingly, the Company has classified all marketable
securities as current assets in the accompanying balance sheets.

5. MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

    During 2000, the Company completed the following mergers and acquisitions.
Each of these transactions was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting for business combinations.

    MERGER OF TRAVELOCITY.COM INC. AND PREVIEW TRAVEL, INC.--On March 7, 2000,
the Company completed the merger of Travelocity.com Inc. ("Travelocity.com"), a
newly created subsidiary of the Company, and Preview Travel, Inc. ("Preview"),
an independent publicly-traded company engaged in consumer direct travel
distribution over the Internet. Under the terms of the merger agreement,
shareholders of Preview received one common share of Travelocity.com Inc., for
each share of Preview held, and Preview was merged into Travelocity.com Inc.,
the surviving entity. Shares of Travelocity.com Inc. stock now trade under the
symbol "TVLY" on the NASDAQ National Market. In connection with the merger, the
Company contributed its Travelocity.com division and approximately $100 million
in cash to Travelocity.com LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership"). Immediately following the merger, Travelocity.com Inc.
contributed the assets and businesses obtained from the acquisition of Preview
to the Partnership. As a result of the merger, the Company owns an economic
interest of approximately 70% in the combined businesses, composed of an
approximate 61% direct interest in the Partnership and an approximate 22%
interest in Travelocity.com Inc., which holds an approximate 39% interest in the
Partnership.

    The cost of the acquisition of Preview was approximately $287 million, which
has been allocated to the respective assets and liabilities acquired based on
estimated fair values, with the remainder recorded as goodwill. Fair values were
determined by the Company's management based on information furnished by
Preview's management and independent valuations of the net assets acquired,
including intangible assets. The Company recorded goodwill and other intangibles
related to this acquisition of approximately $252 million, which are being
amortized over one to three years.

    ACQUIRED INTEREST IN DILLON COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS GMBH ("DILLON")--On
June 26, 2000, the Company acquired a 51% ownership interest in Dillon, a
supplier of electronic travel distribution services in Germany. In accordance
with the purchase agreement, the Company paid approximately $20 million in cash
and will make additional payments of approximately $1 million in each of the
next three years. The cost of the acquisition of approximately $24 million was
allocated to the respective assets and liabilities acquired based on estimated
fair values, with the remainder recorded as goodwill. The Company recorded
goodwill and other intangible assets related to this acquisition of
approximately $24 million, which are being amortized over approximately five
years.

    ACQUISITION OF GRADIENT SOLUTIONS LIMITED ("GRADIENT")--On August 15, 2000,
the Company acquired Gradient, resulting in Gradient becoming a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. Gradient is a Dublin, Ireland-based technology
company that provides e-commerce solutions to the global travel marketplace. The
cost of the acquisition was approximately $39 million, of which approximately
$13 million was paid in cash with the balance in Euro-denominated notes payable.
This cost was allocated to the respective assets and liabilities acquired based
on estimated fair values based on information furnished by Gradient's management
and independent valuations, with the remainder recorded as goodwill. The Company
recorded goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately $38 million
related to this acquisition, which are being amortized over approximately five
years.

    ACQUISITION OF GETTHERE, INC. ("GETTHERE")--On October 17, 2000, the Company
acquired GetThere, a Delaware corporation, resulting in GetThere becoming a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. GetThere operates one of the world's
largest Internet marketplaces focused on business-to-business travel services
and powers online travel sites for leading airlines. The cost of the

acquisition of GetThere was approximately $781 million. The cost of the
acquisition has been allocated to the respective assets and liabilities acquired
based on estimated fair values, with the remainder recorded as goodwill. The
fair values were determined by the Company's management based on information
furnished by GetThere's management and independent valuations of the net assets
acquired, including intangible assets. The Company recorded goodwill and other
intangible assets of approximately $688 million related to this acquisition,
which are being amortized over two to four years.

    The following unaudited pro forma information presents the Company's results
of continuing operations as if the mergers and acquisitions in 2000 had occurred
as of January 1, 1999. The pro forma information has been prepared by combining
the results of continuing operations of the Company and the acquired businesses
for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. This pro forma information does

6. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS

    US AIRWAYS AGREEMENT--In January 1998, the Company completed the execution
of a 25-year information technology services agreement with US Airways. Under
the terms of the agreement, the Company provided substantially all of US
Airways' information technology services. In connection with the IT services
agreement, the Company purchased substantially all of US Airways' information
technology assets for approximately $47 million, and hired more than 600 former
employees of US Airways. The IT services agreement and those IT assets and
personnel have been transferred to EDS as part of the asset sale (see Note 2).
Substantially all of those IT services will be performed by EDS. Certain
software applications development and maintenance services were retained by the
Company under a new agreement with US Airways.

    In January 1998 the Company granted to US Airways two tranches of stock
options, each to acquire 3 million shares of the Company's Class A common stock.
On December 14, 1999, US Airways exercised the first tranche of stock options.
Pursuant to the terms of the exercised options, the Company settled the options
in cash in lieu of issuing common stock and paid approximately $81 million to US
Airways on January 5, 2000.

    The second tranche of options is exercisable during the ten-year period
beginning on the fifth anniversary of the asset transfer date. In connection
with the Company's payment of the $675 million dividend on February 18, 2000,
the Company adjusted the terms of the second tranche of US Airways options to
provide for the same aggregate intrinsic value of the US Airways' holdings of
the Company's common stock before and after the effect of the dividend on the
Company's stock price. Additionally, the terms of the second tranche of options
provided US Airways the opportunity to select an alternative vehicle of
substantially equivalent value in place of receiving shares of the Company's
stock during the six-month period ended December 31, 2000. No such election was
made during that time. The Company may, at its discretion, choose to settle the
remaining stock options with alternative value in place of issuing shares of its
common stock. Such payment may result in the payment of cash by the Company to
US Airways.

    The Company has recorded a liability and related deferred costs equal to the
number of options outstanding, multiplied by the difference between the exercise
price of the options and the market price of the Company's Class A common stock.
The deferred costs and liability are adjusted for changes in the market price of
the Company's stock at each month-end until such time as the options are settled
or US Airways' ability to select an alternative vehicle in place of receiving
stock expires. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company had a liability
relating to these options of $147 million and $154 million, respectively, and
net deferred costs of approximately $107 million and $126 million, respectively.
During 2000, 1999, and 1998, the Company recorded amortization expense of
approximately $12 million, $18 million and $10 million, respectively, related to
the options, which is recorded in income from discontinued operations. The
deferred costs were being amortized over the eleven-year non-cancelable portion
of the agreement.

    ABACUS JOINT VENTURE--In February 1998, the Company signed long-term
agreements with ABACUS International Holdings Ltd., which created a
Singapore-based joint venture company called ABACUS to manage travel
distribution in the Asia/Pacific region. The Company paid $139 million in cash
and contributed its assets related to the Company's ongoing travel distribution
activities in the Asia/Pacific region and other consideration. In exchange, the
Company received 35% of the shares of the joint venture company. The Company
accounts for its investment in the joint venture using the equity method of
accounting and records revenue for the Company's share of the net income of

ABACUS. The Company provides ABACUS with transaction processing on the SABRE
system. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company's net investment in ABACUS
totaled approximately $144 million. The Company's initial investment in ABACUS
differed from its proportional share of the net equity in the underlying assets
of ABACUS by approximately $116 million. This amount is being amortized over
20 years.

    TICKETNET JUDGMENT--In August 1998, the Company received a favorable court
judgment related to Ticketnet Corporation, an inactive subsidiary of the
Company, and recognized approximately $14 million of other income.

    EQUANT DEPOSITORY CERTIFICATES--At December 31, 1998, American owned
approximately 1.7 million depository certificates representing beneficial
ownership of common stock of Equant for the economic benefit of the Company. In
connection with a secondary offering of Equant common stock, in February 1999,
American liquidated 490,000 of these certificates for the Company's benefit. The
Company received proceeds of approximately $35 million from the transaction,
resulting in a gain of approximately $35 million.

    In December 1999, in connection with an additional secondary offering of
Equant common stock, approximately 1.2 million certificates were liquidated for
the Company's benefit. The Company received proceeds of approximately
$103 million from the transaction, resulting in an additional gain of
approximately $103 million.

7. CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS WITH AMR AND AMERICAN

    AMR AGREEMENTS--The Company entered into certain agreements with AMR and its
affiliates (the "AMR Agreements"), which are discussed below.

    INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES AGREEMENT--On July 1, 1996, the Company
entered into the Information Technology Services Agreement with American (the
"Technology Services Agreement"), to provide American with certain information
technology services. The base term of the Technology Services Agreement expires
June 30, 2006. The Technology Services Agreement and related IT assets and
personnel have been transferred to EDS as part of the sale of the Outsourcing
Business (see Note 2). Substantially all of the services under the Technology
Services Agreement will now be provided by EDS. The Company may receive
additional payments from EDS for those assets, depending on the amount of
revenues received by EDS under the Technology Services Agreement. The terms of
the services to be provided to American by EDS, however, vary. Certain software
applications development and maintenance services were retained by the Company
under a new agreement with American. The Company also transferred to American
approximately 250 employees who had previously been providing dedicated support
services for American.

    MANAGEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT--The Company and American were parties to a
Management Services Agreement dated July 1, 1996 (the "Management Services
Agreement"), pursuant to which American performed certain management services
for the Company that American had historically provided to the Company. In
connection with the Spin-off, the Company and American agreed to the early
termination of certain services, effective March 2000, and the continuation of
certain services with termination dates through June 30, 2001.

    MARKETING COOPERATION AGREEMENT--The Company and American are parties to the
Marketing Cooperation Agreement dated July 1, 1996 (the "Marketing Cooperation
Agreement"), pursuant to

                                      F-31

7. CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS WITH AMR AND AMERICAN (CONTINUED)
which American agreed to provide marketing support for 10 years for certain of
the Company's products. Under the terms of the Marketing Cooperation Agreement,
the Company pays American a fee for its marketing support, the amount of which
may increase or decrease, generally based on booking volumes. The total fee was
approximately $20 million, $18 million and $17 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, which has been included in income from continuing operations.
Additionally, the Company had guaranteed to American certain cost savings in the
fifth year of the Marketing Cooperation Agreement. At December 31, 1998, the
Company had recorded a liability of approximately $7 million for this guarantee.
This liability was reversed during the fourth quarter of 1999 based on
projections of cost savings. In connection with the Spin-off, the Company and
American agreed to terminate the Company's obligation to guarantee those cost
savings.

    NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT--The Company, AMR and American entered into a
Non-Competition Agreement dated July 1, 1996 (the "Non-Competition Agreement"),
pursuant to which AMR and American, on behalf of themselves and certain of their
subsidiaries, have agreed to limit their competition with the Company's
businesses. The Non-Competition Agreement expires on December 31, 2001. American
may terminate the Non-Competition Agreement, however, if the Technology Services
Agreement is terminated as a result of an egregious breach by EDS.

    TRAVEL AGREEMENTS--The Company and American are parties to a Travel
Privileges Agreement dated July 1, 1996 (the "Travel Privileges Agreement"),
pursuant to which the Company is entitled to purchase personal travel for its
employees and retirees at reduced fares. The Travel Privileges Agreement will
expire on June 30, 2008. To pay for the provision of flight privileges to
certain of its future retired employees, the Company makes a lump sum payment to
American each year for each employee retiring in that year. The payment per
retiree is based on the number of years of service with the Company and AMR over
the prior ten years of service. The cost of providing this privilege is accrued
over the estimated service lives of the employees eligible for the privilege
(see Note 9).

    The Company and American agreed to certain amendments to the Travel
Privileges Agreement in connection with the Spin-off and the EDS transaction.
These amendments allow American to provide certain employees with additional
limited travel privileges and require the Company to indemnify American for
costs related to the Company's continued use of the travel privileges.

    The Company and American are also parties to a Corporate Travel Agreement
(the "Corporate Travel Agreement") pursuant to which the Company received
discounts for certain flights purchased on American. In exchange, the Company
agreed to fly a certain percentage of its travel on American as compared to all
other air carriers combined.

    CREDIT AGREEMENT--On July 1, 1996, the Company and American entered into a
Credit Agreement pursuant to which the Company was required to borrow from
American, and American was required to lend to the Company, amounts required by
the Company to fund its daily cash requirements. In addition, American could,
but was not required to, borrow from the Company to fund its daily cash
requirements. The maximum amount the Company could borrow at any time from
American under the Credit Agreement was $300 million. The maximum amount that
American could borrow at any time from the Company under the Credit Agreement
was $100 million. No borrowings occurred by either the Company or American under
this agreement. In connection with the Spin-off, the Credit Agreement was
terminated on April 14, 2000.

7. CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS WITH AMR AND AMERICAN (CONTINUED)
    DEBENTURE PAYABLE TO AMR--In 1996, the Company issued to AMR a floating
rate, subordinated debenture due September 30, 2004 (the "Debenture"). The
principal balance was approximately $318 million at December 31, 1998. During
1999, in connection with the Omnibus Financing Agreement discussed below, the
Company prepaid the remaining principal balance and all outstanding accrued
interest under the Debenture. The average interest rate on the Debenture was
5.6% and 6.1% for 1999 and 1998, respectively.

    OMNIBUS FINANCING AGREEMENT--On March 17, 1999, the Company and American
entered into a short-term credit agreement pursuant to which American could
borrow from the Company up to a maximum of $300 million. During the first half
of 1999, American borrowed $300 million under the short-term credit agreement.
Subsequently, in June 1999, the Company, AMR and American entered into an
Omnibus Financing Agreement pursuant to which (a) the $300 million outstanding
from American under the short-term credit agreement was applied against the
$318 million remaining under the Debenture payable from the Company to AMR and
(b) the Company paid the remaining principal balance of approximately
$18 million and all outstanding accrued interest under the Debenture.

    INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT--In July 1996, the Company and American entered
into an intercompany agreement (the "Indemnification Agreement") pursuant to
which each party indemnified the other for certain obligations relating to the
Reorganization. Pursuant to the Indemnification Agreement, the Company
indemnified American for liabilities assumed against third party claims asserted
against American as a result of American's prior ownership of assets or
operation of businesses contributed to the Company and for losses arising from
or in connection with the Company's lease of property from American. In
exchange, American indemnified the Company for specified liabilities retained by
it against third party claims against the Company relating to American's
businesses and asserted against the Company as a result of the ownership or
possession by American prior to July 2, 1996 of any asset contributed to the
Company in July 1996 and for losses arising from or in connection with
American's lease of property from the Company.

    In connection with the Spin-off, the Company and American agreed to
terminate the Indemnification Agreement as of July 1, 2003.

    AGREEMENT ON SPIN-OFF TAXES--In connection with the Spin-off, the Company
and AMR entered into an indemnity agreement (the "Agreement on Spin-off Taxes")
pursuant to which the Company will be responsible for Spin-off related taxes, in
certain circumstances, if the Spin-off is deemed to be taxable as a result of
certain factual representations and assumptions relating to the Company being
inaccurate or as a result of the Company's subsequent actions. The Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS") has issued a Tax Ruling to the effect that the Spin-off
will be tax-free to the Company, AMR and AMR shareholders under Section 355 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (except to the extent that cash is
received in lieu of fractional shares). Under the terms of the Agreement on
Spin-off Taxes, the Company has also agreed to comply with certain restrictions
on its future operations to assure that the Spin-off will be tax free, including
restrictions with respect to a third party's acquisition of shares of the
Company's stock and the Company's issuance of stock.

    REVENUES FROM AMR--Revenues from American and other subsidiaries of AMR
included in continuing operations were $226 million, $209 million and
$195 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

7. CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS WITH AMR AND AMERICAN (CONTINUED)
    OPERATING EXPENSES--Prior to the Spin-off, operating expenses were charged
to the Company by American and other subsidiaries of AMR to cover certain
employee benefits, facilities rental, marketing services, management services,
legal fees and certain other administrative costs based on employee headcount or
actual usage of facilities and services. The Company believes amounts charged to
the Company for these expenses approximate the cost of such services provided by
third parties. Travel service costs for travel by the Company's employees for
personal and business travel are charged to the Company based on rates
negotiated with American. If the Company had not been affiliated with American,
the personal travel flight privilege would most likely not have been available
to employees. The rates negotiated with American for 2000, 1999 and 1998 under
the Corporate Travel Agreement approximate corporate travel rates offered by
American to similar companies. Expenses charged to the Company by AMR and its
affiliates approximated $19 million for the two months prior to the Spin-off in
March 2000. Expenses charged to the Company by AMR and its affiliates,
unadjusted for discontinued operations, for the years ended December 31, 1999
and 1998 are as follows (in thousands):

    Of these total amounts, approximately $66 million and $88 million was
included in continuing operations in 1999 and 1998, respectively.

8. DEBT

    On February 4, 2000, the Company entered into a $300 million, senior
unsecured, revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Facility"), which expires on
September 14, 2004. Concurrently, the Company entered into a short-term
$200 million, senior unsecured, term loan agreement (the "Interim Loan"), with
an original maturity of August 4, 2000 which was subsequently extended to
February 4, 2001. On February 18, 2000, the Company utilized a portion of its
available cash balance and marketable securities, as well as proceeds from both
the Credit Facility and Interim Loan to fund a $675 million dividend to
shareholders. In connection with the bridge credit facility discussed below, the
entire $200 million balance outstanding under the Interim Loan was repaid and
the Interim Loan agreement was terminated. At December 31, 2000, there were no
outstanding borrowings under the Interim Loan and $149 million outstanding under
the Credit Facility at an average annual interest rate of 6.7%.

    On October 10, 2000, the Company entered into a $865 million bridge credit
agreement (the "Bridge Credit Agreement") which expires on July 10, 2001.
Proceeds of the Bridge Credit Agreement were used to fund the acquisition of
GetThere and to repay the $200 million outstanding under the Interim Loan.
Interest on the Bridge Credit Agreement is variable, based upon the London
Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), the prime rate or the federal funds rate plus
a margin, at the Company's option. At December 31, 2000, the outstanding balance
of borrowings under the Bridge Credit Agreement was $710 million at an average
interest rate of 7.1%. Borrowings under the Bridge Credit Agreement were retired
on July 2, 2001 using proceeds from the sale of the Outsourcing Business
(Note 2) and existing cash balances.

9. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

    The Company sponsors The Sabre Group Retirement Plan (the "SGRP"), a defined
contribution plan qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986. The Company makes a defined contribution and matches a defined portion of
employee contributions to the plan and has recorded expenses related to the SGRP
of approximately $21 million, $20 million and $16 million in 2000, 1999 and
1998, respectively.

    Additionally, the Company sponsors The Sabre Group Legacy Pension Plan (the
"LPP"), a tax-qualified defined benefit plan for employees meeting certain
eligibility requirements.

    As a result of the Spin-off, the Company amended its retiree medical and
life insurance plan effective January 1, 2001. The Company changed the plan to
offer subsidized retiree medical coverage only to employees hired prior to
October 1, 2000. Employees hired after that date will be offered access to the
Company-sponsored plan but with no subsidy and therefore no liability to the
Company. In addition, active employees will no longer pre-fund their share of
the retiree medical benefit costs but will make post-retirement contributions
averaging 20% of the cost of retiree medical coverage. Previously established
employee pre-funding account balances will continue to accrue interest and will
be used to offset future retiree contributions; however, new pre-funding
contributions were discontinued. The lifetime maximums for the retiree medical
plan were increased due to the consolidation of supplemental medical plan
benefits into the basic retiree medical plan.

    Officers and certain employees of the Company are eligible for additional
retirement benefits, to be paid by the Company, under the Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan (the "SERP") as an operating expense. The SERP provides pension
benefits (calculated upon the basis of final average base salary, incentive
compensation payments and performance returns) to which officers and certain
employees of the Company would be entitled, but for the limit on the maximum
annual benefit payable

under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") and the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ($135,000 for 2000), and the limit on the maximum
amount of compensation which may be taken into account under the Company's
retirement program ($170,000 for 2000).

    Pursuant to the Travel Privileges Agreement, the Company is entitled to
purchase personal travel for certain retirees. To pay for the provision of
flight privileges to certain of its future retired employees, the Company makes
a lump sum payment to American for each employee retiring in that year. The
payment per retiree is based on the number of years of service with the Company
and AMR over the prior ten years of service. The cost of providing this
privilege is accrued over the estimated service lives of the employees eligible
for the privilege.

    Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the
amounts reported for the postretirement medical benefit plans. A one percentage
point decrease in the assumed health care cost trend rates would decrease the
total service and interest cost components of total net periodic benefit cost
for 2000 and the postretirement benefit obligations at December 31, 2000 by
approximately $2 million and $10 million, respectively. A one percentage point
increase in the assumed health care cost trend rates would increase the total
service and interest cost components of total net periodic benefit cost for 2000
and the postretirement benefit obligations at December 31, 2000 by approximately
$2 million and $12 million, respectively.

    Plan assets for the LPP and for the post-retirement health care and life
insurance benefits consist primarily of mutual fund shares managed by a
subsidiary of AMR invested in debt and equity securities.

    Expenses included in income from continuing operations related to employee
benefit plans totaled approximately $24 million, $27 million, and $23 million in
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The company anticipates recording a
curtailment gain as a component of the gain on the sale of the Outsourcing
Business relating to the cessation of benefits under the plans described above
for the employees transferred to EDS.

    The increase in the deferred tax liability for amortization of computer
software and intangible assets resulted from a deferred tax liability recorded
for the intangible assets, other than goodwill, recorded in connection with the
acquisition of GetThere.

    As a result of the merger of Travelocity.com and Preview, Travelocity.com
acquired net operating losses ("NOL's") of approximately $105 million previously
incurred by Preview, which begin expiring in 2009. Additionally, as a result of
the acquisition of GetThere, the Company acquired NOL's of approximately
$100 million previously incurred by GetThere, which begin expiring in 2011.
Preview and GetThere NOL's are subject to limitation under Section 382 of the
Internal Revenue Code, but such limitation is not expected to have a significant
impact on the Company's ability to utilize the NOL's.

    The results of operations of Travelocity.com Inc. are not included in the
federal income tax return of the Company (see Note 3). Accordingly, only
Travelocity.com Inc. can utilize the NOL's acquired from Preview.
Travelocity.com Inc. has additional NOL's totaling approximately $18 million
relating to its proportionate share of the losses of the Travelocity.com
partnership during 2000 (see Note 5). At December 31, 2000, a valuation
allowance has been recorded to fully reserve the deferred tax assets resulting
from Travelocity.com Inc.'s NOL's, as the Company has been unable to conclude
that it is more likely than not that Travelocity.com Inc. will be able to
utilize these NOL's. To the extent that the NOL's acquired from Preview are
utilized to offset Travelocity.com Inc.'s future taxable income, goodwill and
non-current intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisition will
be reduced. If goodwill and non-current intangible assets have been fully
amortized or reduced to zero, income tax

expense will be reduced. To the extent that Travelocity.com Inc. is able to
realize the benefit of the NOL's, either acquired from Preview or arising
subsequent to the acquisition of Preview, the Company will recognize a benefit
equal to its ownership interest in Travelocity.com Inc. of approximately 22%.

    The Company believes that, more likely than not, it will be able to utilize
the NOL's acquired from GetThere. Accordingly, no valuation allowance has been
established related to these NOL's.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    On July 1, 1996, the Company entered into an operating lease agreement with
AMR for certain facilities and AMR assigned its rights and obligations under
certain leases to the Company. Also on July 1, 1996, the Company entered into an
operating lease agreement with a third party for the lease of other facilities.

    In October 1998, the Company sold data center mainframe equipment to an
unrelated party for approximately $34 million. The Company then entered into an
agreement to lease back the equipment from the unrelated party. The Company
recognized a deferred gain of approximately $1 million on the transaction. The
agreement has a term of seven years; however, the Company has the option, at its
discretion, to terminate the contract as of December 31, 2001. Under the
agreement, the Company may lease additional equipment at rates specified in the
agreement. This agreement was transferred to EDS as part of its purchase of the
Company's IT infrastructure assets (see Note 2).

    In 1999, the Company entered into a syndicated lease financing facility of
approximately $310 million for the use of land, an existing office building and
the construction of a new corporate headquarters facility in Southlake, Texas,
as well as the development of new data center facilities in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The
financing facility will be accounted for as an operating lease. The initial term
of the lease extends through September 2004, with two optional one-year renewal
periods thereafter. At the end of each renewal period, the Company is required
to either renew the lease, purchase the property for its original cost, or
arrange for the sale of the property to a third party, with the Company
guaranteeing to the lessor proceeds on such sale of approximately 85% of the
original fair value of the leased facility, or approximately $264 million. EDS
purchased the new Tulsa data center facilities as part of its purchase of the
Company's IT infrastructure assets (see Note 2).

    Additionally, in 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with AOL that
provides, among other things, that the Travelocity.com Web site will be the
exclusive reservations engine for AOL's Internet properties. Travelocity.com is
obligated for payments of up to $200 million and AOL and Travelocity.com will
share advertising revenues and commissions over the five-year term of the
agreement. Under certain circumstances, Travelocity.com may elect to alter the
terms of this agreement such that guaranteed payments to AOL would no longer be
required. The Company is amortizing the payments due under the AOL agreement as
a selling and marketing expense based upon the noncancellable period of the
contract. Payments are recorded as prepaid assets, which are reduced by
amortization. Approximately $16 million is recorded in prepaid assets at
December 31, 2000. Commissions are due to AOL as travel reservations are made by
AOL users through Travelocity's co-branded AOL web site. Such amounts are
recorded as revenues are recognized by Travelocity. Amounts received from AOL
under the advertising revenue sharing arrangement are recognized in the month
earned.

    Rental expense included in continuing operations was approximately

1999 and 1998, respectively.

    The Company is involved in certain disputes and other matters arising in the
normal course of business. Additionally, the Company is subject to review and
assessment by various taxing authorities. Although the ultimate resolution of
these matters cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, management does not
believe that they will have a material, adverse effect on the financial
condition or results of operations of the Company.

12. CAPITAL STOCK

    On February 7, 2000, the Company declared a one-time cash dividend on all
outstanding shares of the Company's Class A and Class B common stock. The
aggregate amount of the dividend was $675 million, or approximately $5.20 per
share, and was paid to shareholders on February 18, 2000. In the future, the
Company intends to retain its earnings to finance future growth and, therefore,
does not anticipate paying any additional cash dividends on its common stock.
Any determination as to the future payment of dividends will depend upon the
future results of operations, capital requirements and financial condition of
the Company and its subsidiaries and such other factors as the Board of
Directors of the Company may consider, including any contractual or statutory
restrictions on the Company's ability to pay dividends.

    On March 15, 2000, AMR exchanged all of its 107,374,000 shares of the
Company's Class B common stock for an equal number of shares of the Company's
Class A common stock and distributed such shares to AMR shareholders as a stock
dividend. The distribution consisted of AMR's entire ownership interest in the
Company. The Company now has only Class A common stock outstanding. The Company
is authorized by its certificate of incorporation to issue up to 250 million
shares of Class A common stock, and up to 20 million shares of Preferred Stock.

    In 1997, the Company's Board of Directors authorized, subject to certain
business and market conditions, the purchase of up to 1.5 million shares of the
Company's Class A common stock. On March 16, 1999, the Company's Board of
Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 1 million shares of
the Company's Class A common stock. On September 15, 1999, the Company's Board
of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $100 million of
the Company's Class A common stock during the next two years. The Company
repurchased 1,004,193, 1,029,890 and 1,428,200 shares of Class A common stock in
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company uses Treasury Stock to settle
exercised stock options.

13. OPTIONS AND OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS

    Under the Company's 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "1996 Plan") officers
and other key employees of the Company may be granted restricted stock, deferred
stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock purchase rights, other
stock-based awards and/or performance-related awards. The 1996 Plan will
terminate no later than October 2006. In 1999, the Company amended the 1996 Plan
(the "Amended Plan"). Under the Amended Plan, the Company expanded the employees
eligible for awards to include non-employee directors and managers of the
Company in addition to officers and key employees. The total number of shares of
Class A common stock authorized to be issued under the Amended Plan is
approximately 14 million shares, provided that no more than 1 million shares of
stock shall be granted to any employee in a one-year period. At December 31,
2000, approximately 3 million shares remained available for future grants of
stock-based awards under the Amended Plan.

    In 2000, the Company established the Sabre Holdings Corporation Stock Option
Plan (the "2000 Plan") to attract, retain, and reward employees of the Company,
by offering stock incentives in the Company. Under the 2000 Plan, employees may
be granted stock options, stock appreciation rights or other stock-based awards.
The total number of shares of Class A common stock authorized for distribution
under the 2000 Plan is 7 million shares. At December 31, 2000 approximately
3 million shares remained available for future grants.

    The total charge for stock compensation expense included in income from
continuing operations was $10 million, $9 million and $7 million for 2000, 1999
and 1998, respectively. No compensation expense was recognized for stock option
grants under the 1996 Plan, the Amended Plan or the 2000 Plan since the exercise
price of the Company's stock option grants was equal to the fair market value of
the underlying stock on the date of grant.

    Shares of restricted stock are awarded at no cost to employees. Restricted
shares generally vest three years following the date of grant. Unadjusted for
discontinued operations, restricted stock activity follows:

    Stock appreciation rights ("SARS") may be granted in conjunction with all or
part of any stock option granted. All appreciation rights will terminate upon
termination or exercise of the related option and will be exercisable only
during the time that the related option is exercisable. If a SAR is exercised,
the related stock option will be deemed to have been exercised.

    The Company has a Directors' Stock Incentive Plan, which provides for an
annual award of options to purchase 3,000 shares of the Company's Class A common
stock to each non-employee director. The plan also provides for a one-time award
of options to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company's Class A common stock to a
new non-employee director upon his or her initial election to the Board of
Directors. The options have an exercise price equal to the market price of the
Class A common stock on the date of grant and vest pro rata over a five-year
period. Each option expires on the earlier of (i) the date the non-employee
director ceases to be a director of the Company, if for any reason other than
due to death, disability or retirement, or (ii) three years from the date the
non-employee director ceases to be a director of the Company due to death,
disability or retirement. 350,000 shares of Class A common stock are reserved
for issuance under the Directors' Stock Incentive Plan. As of December 31, 2000,
109,026 options had been granted to directors at a weighted-average exercise
price of $25.20. None of the options granted to the directors have been
exercised. At December 31, 2000, approximately 241,000 shares were available for
future grants under the Directors' Stock Incentive Plan.

    Beginning in 1999, stock options granted to non-employee directors were
granted under the Amended Plan. In 2000 and 1999, 54,543 and 24,000 options were
granted to directors at weighted-average exercise prices of $30.79 and $62.59,
respectively. These amounts are included in the previous stock options
outstanding table. None of these options have been exercised.

    Certain officers and key employees of the Company have been awarded deferred
shares of the Company's Class A common stock ("Company Career Equity Shares").
The Company Career Equity Shares are issued upon the individual's retirement
from the Company. During 2000, 1,066 of these shares were issued and 5,057 were
canceled. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, 3,609 and 7,600 shares of the Company
Career Equity Shares were outstanding, respectively.

    In connection with the payment of the $675 million dividend on February 18,
2000, the Company adjusted the terms of its outstanding employee stock option
plans such that the exercise price per share of each option was reduced, and the
number of options held by each employee was increased, such that

13. OPTIONS AND OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS (CONTINUED)
the aggregate intrinsic value of each employee's option holdings was the same
before and after the effect of the payment of the dividend on the Company's
stock price. Because the adjustment to the option terms was done in accordance
with Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus No. 90-9, "Changes to Fixed Employee
Stock Option Plans as a Result of Equity Restructuring," no compensation expense
was recorded by the Company. The weighted-average exercise prices included in
the schedules above, for stock options granted prior to the payment of the
dividend have not been adjusted for the effects of the dividend.

    The Company sponsors an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"). The ESPP
allows eligible employees to purchase Class A common stock at a discount from
the market price of such stock. From January 1997 through June 2000,
participating employees could purchase the stock on a monthly basis at 85% of
the market price at the beginning or the end of each monthly offering period,
whichever was lower. Participating employees were limited to an aggregate
maximum purchase price of either 1% or 2% of the employee's annual compensation,
subject to certain limitations. The ESPP was amended July 1, 2000 to allow
participating employees to purchase stock on a semiannual basis at 85% of the
lower of the market price of the stock at the beginning or the end of a six
month period. In addition, the amended ESPP allows participating employees to
purchase stock up to an aggregate maximum purchase price of 10% of the
employee's annual compensation, subject to certain limitations. 2,000,000 shares
of Class A common stock have been reserved for issuance under the ESPP.
Approximately 57,000, 59,000 and 54,000 shares were issued under the ESPP during
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and approximately 1,800,000 shares remain
available for future purchases at December 31, 2000.

    For other stock-based awards, a committee established by the Board of
Directors determines the eligible persons to whom awards will be made, the times
at which the awards will be made, the number of shares to be awarded, the price,
if any, to be paid by the recipient and all other terms and conditions of the
award.

    As required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," pro forma information regarding net
income and earnings per share has been determined as if the Company had
accounted for its employee stock options and stock-based awards under the fair
value method set forth in Statement No. 123. The fair value for the stock
options granted by the Company to officers and key employees of the Company
after January 1, 1995 was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free
interest rate of 5.65% to 6.51% for 2000, 4.65% to 6.22% for 1999 and 5.45% to
5.67% for 1998, a dividend yield of 0%, a volatility factor of the expected
market price of the Company's Class A common stock of 0.40 for 2000, 0.39 for
1999 and 0.32 for 1998; and a weighted-average expected life of the options
granted of 4.5 years.

    The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating
the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are
fully transferable and requires the input of highly subjective assumptions
including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee
stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded
options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially
affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do
not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its
employee stock options.

    Options to purchase approximately 8,280,000; 3,130,000 and 2,470,000
weighted-average shares of common stock were outstanding during 2000, 1999 and

15. SEGMENT REPORTING

    Prior to the divestiture of its outsourcing business (Note 2), the Company
had four reportable segments: Travel Marketing and Distribution,
Travelocity.com, GetThere, and Outsourcing and Software Solutions. Subsequent to
the divestiture, the Company has redefined its Outsourcing and Software
Solutions segment as the Airlines and Emerging Businesses segment. The segment
information presented below is based on the new segment definition for all
periods presented.

    The Travel Marketing and Distribution segment distributes travel services to
travel agencies ("subscribers"). Through the Company's global distribution
system, subscribers can access information about and book reservations with
airlines and other providers of travel and travel-related products and services.
The Travelocity.com segment distributes travel services to individual consumers.
Through the Travelocity.com Web site, individual consumers can compare prices,
make travel reservations and obtain destination information online. GetThere
distributes travel services on-line directly to businesses. GetThere operates
one of the world's largest Internet marketplaces focused on business-to-business
travel services and powers online travel sites for leading airlines. The Airline
Solutions and Emerging Businesses segment primarily provides software
development and consulting solutions and other products and services to airlines
and other travel providers.

    The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer
different products and services and are managed separately because each business
requires different market strategies. The accounting policies of the segments
are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting
policies. The company accounts for intersegment transactions as if the
transactions were to third parties, that is, at estimated current market prices.
Intersegment transactions are recorded as expense offsets and are not included
in segment revenues.

15. SEGMENT REPORTING (CONTINUED)
    Personnel and related costs for the corporate headquarters, certain legal
and professional fees and other corporate charges are allocated to the segments
through a management fee based primarily on usage. Depreciation expense on the
corporate headquarters buildings and related facilities costs are allocated to
the segments through a facility fee based on headcount. The related assets are
not allocated to the segments. Other assets not allocated to the segments
include cash, marketable securities and deferred tax assets. Benefits expense,
including pension expense, postretirement benefits, medical insurance and
workers' compensation, are allocated to the segments based on headcount.
Unallocated corporate expenses include depreciation expense and other costs
associated with the corporate headquarters buildings, net of facility fees
allocated to the reportable segments and affiliated companies, expenses related
to the Spin-off and certain other corporate charges maintained at the corporate
level.

EDS TRANSACTION AND REPAYMENT OF BORROWINGS

    On March 14, 2001 Sabre Holdings Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary
Sabre Inc. (collectively, the "Company") entered into agreements with Electronic
Data Systems Corporation ("EDS") which provide for (i) the sale of the Company's
information technology outsourcing business and information technology ("IT")
infrastructure assets and associated real estate to EDS (the "Asset Purchase
Agreement"), (ii) a 10-year contract with EDS to manage the Company's IT systems
(the "IT Outsourcing Agreement"), and (iii) agreements between the Company and
EDS to jointly market IT services and software solutions to the travel and
transportation industries (the "Marketing Agreements"). The Company filed a
Form 8-K dated April 19, 2001, reporting the transaction.

    Effective on July 1, 2001, the Company and EDS completed the sale of the
Company's infrastructure outsourcing contracts, Web hosting contracts, and IT
infrastructure assets and related real estate to EDS for approximately
$661 million in cash, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Company also
retains net working capital of approximately $112 million. Up to approximately
$31 million of the sale proceeds is contingently refundable to EDS based, in
part, upon the amount of revenues received by EDS from US Airways under an
outsourcing contract during the 30 months following the close of the EDS
transaction. In addition, the Company may receive aggregate additional payments
from EDS for these assets ranging from $6 million to $25 million on April 15,
2003 and 2004, depending on the amount of revenues received by EDS under certain
other airline outsourcing contracts. On July 2, 2001, the Company repaid
$710 million of existing short-term borrowings using proceeds from the EDS
transaction and existing cash. On July 20, 2001, the Company repaid $70 million
of borrowings under its revolving credit facility using existing cash.

ACQUISITION OF GETTHERE INC.

    On October 17, 2000, the Company completed its acquisition of GetThere Inc.
("GetThere"), pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Merger Agreement") dated August 28, 2000. Each outstanding share of GetThere
common stock was purchased or converted into the right to receive $17.75 per
share pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The Company accounted for the
acquisition using the purchase method of accounting.

    The Company purchased GetThere for a total purchase price of approximately
$781 million, consisting of $683 million in cash, $89 million related to the
assumption of GetThere stock options, restricted stock and warrants and
$9 million in transaction costs.

    The acquisition was funded by borrowings by the Company under a Bridge
Credit Agreement dated as of October 10, 2000 with Banc of America Securities
LLC, as Co-Lead Arranger, Joint Book Manager and Administrative Agent, Goldman
Sachs Credit Partners L.P., as Co-Lead Arranger, Joint Book Manager and
Syndication Agent, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as Documentation and the
lenders party thereto (the "Bridge Lenders"). Pursuant to the terms of the
Bridge Credit Agreement, the Bridge Lenders made available to the Company an
$865 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Bridge Facility").
Proceeds of the Bridge Facility were used for funding the purchase of GetThere
Common Stock and repayment of the Company's existing $200 million Bridge Loan
Promissory Note dated August 4, 2000. Borrowings of $710 million under the
Bridge Facility were repaid on July 2, 2001 using proceeds from the sale of the
Company's infrastructure outsourcing business to EDS and existing cash.

                                      F-55

ISSUANCE OF NOTES

    The Company is planning to issue approximately $300 million of notes.
$79 million of the proceeds would be used to retire borrowings under the
Company's revolving credit facility, with the remainder to be used for general
corporate purposes.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives
effect to (i) the sale of the information technology outsourcing business and
information technology infrastructure assets and associated real estate to EDS,
(ii) the use of $661 million of the cash proceeds from the EDS transaction,
$49 million of existing cash on July 2, 2001 and $70 million of existing cash on
July 20, 2001 to retire $780 million of the Company's outstanding debt, and
(iii) the expected issuance of $300 million principal amount of the notes
pursuant to the offering described elsewhere in this prospectus supplement, and
the use of $79 million of the proceeds of such issuance to repay borrowings
under the revolving credit facility, as if all of the foregoing transactions had
occurred on March 31, 2001. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 reflect these
transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2001.

    The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
operations for the year ending December 31, 2000 gives effect to (i) the
acquisition of GetThere, (ii) the sale of the information technology outsourcing
business and IT infrastructure assets and associated real estate to EDS,
(iii) the use of the cash proceeds from the EDS transaction, $49 million of
existing cash on July 2, 2001 and $70 million of existing cash on July 20, 2001
to retire $780 million of the Company's outstanding debt, and (iv) the expected
issuance of $300 million principal amount of notes, and the use of $79 million
of the proceeds of such issuance to repay borrowings under the revolving credit
facility, as if all of the foregoing transactions had occurred on January 1,
2000. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for
the year ended December 31, 2000 is based on the statement of operations of the
Company for the year ended December 31, 2000, and the results of operations of
GetThere for the pro forma nine month period ended July 31, 2000. The results of
operations of GetThere for the pro forma nine month period ended July 31, 2000
were derived from the results of operations of GetThere for the year ended
January 31, 2000, the nine months ended October 31, 1999 and the six months
ended July 31, 2000. Differences resulting from the combination of different
fiscal periods would not have a significant impact on the pro forma combined
results of operations.

    The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not
reflect anticipated future savings from the IT Outsourcing Agreement and revenue
the Company expects to earn under the Marketing Agreements with EDS. The
statements also do not reflect the impact on continuing operations of general
and administrative costs which historically have been allocated to the
discontinued operations, but which will not be eliminated as a result of the
transaction.

    For purposes of this presentation, unaudited pro forma adjustments have been
made to the historical financial statements to provide information as to how
these transactions might have affected the results of the Company. The pro forma
information does not purport to be indicative of the results that would have
occurred had the transactions actually been in effect for these periods, or of
results that may occur in the future. The unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company
included elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and the historical financial
statements of GetThere Inc. as included in the Company's Current Report on
Form 8-K filed on July 27, 2001.

    NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

    The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet
assumes the proposed sale of the Company's information technology outsourcing
business and information technology infrastructure assets and associated real
estate occurred on March 31, 2001 and reflects the following pro forma
adjustments:

a.  To record the proposed sale of the infrastructure outsourcing business to
    EDS as follows:


                                                           
Cash proceeds from the sale.................................  $ 660,772
Less contingent note........................................    (31,000)
Book value of the net assets of the discontinued
  operations................................................   (521,372)
Liabilities assumed by EDS..................................      2,011
Estimated transaction costs.................................    (74,696)
Income taxes................................................    (13,661)
                                                              ---------
Pro forma gain as of March 31, 2001, net of income taxes....  $  22,054
                                                              =========


    Estimated transaction costs include approximately $35 million in
    professional fees, $16 million for lease obligations for facilities that
    will no longer be utilized, $16 million in adjustments to employee related
    liabilities resulting from the transaction and $8 million in other costs.

    The amount of the gain to be recorded upon closing of the transaction with
    EDS will differ from the pro forma gain above due to changes in the net book
    value of assets and refinement of estimated costs associated with the
    transaction.

b.  To record the retirement of existing debt of the Company with the proceeds
    from the sale to EDS and existing cash. Terms of the Bridge Credit Agreement
    require a payment to be made with the proceeds of the sale of a significant
    portion of the Company's assets. Accordingly, the debt was fully repaid on
    July 2, 2001.

c.  To record the retirement of $70 million of borrowings under the Company's
    revolving credit facility.

d.  To reclassify deferred income tax liabilities to current income taxes
    payable and deferred tax assets resulting principally from the sale of
    certain assets to EDS which will not be deductible for income tax purposes
    in the current year.

e.  To record the expected issuance of $300 million in debt resulting from the
    offering of the notes and the application of $79 million of the proceeds to
    repay borrowings under the Company's credit facility, with the remainder
    retained as cash.

2. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS FOR THE
   THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001

    The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 gives effect to the use of
the cash proceeds from the sale of the Company's information technology
outsourcing business and information technology infrastructure assets and
associated real estate, proceeds from the expected issuance of $300 million
principal amount

                                      F-60

                           SABRE HOLDINGS CORPORATION
    NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (CONTINUED)

2. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS FOR THE
   THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 (CONTINUED)
of the notes and existing cash to repay the Company's outstanding debt as if all
such transactions had occurred on January 1, 2001, and reflects the following
pro forma adjustments:

a.  To record the reduction in interest expense from the application of proceeds
    from the EDS transaction and existing cash to retire outstanding debt.

b.  To record an additional $6 million of interest expense resulting from the
    expected issuance of the $300 million principal amount of notes pursuant to
    the offering, partially offset by a $2.4 million reduction in interest
    expense resulting from the retirement of the $149 million of borrowings
    under the Company's revolving credit facility. Interest on the $300 million
    principal amount of the notes issued has been calculated using an interest
    rate of 8%. For each 1/8 of 1% increase in the interest rate, the impact
    would be an increase in annual interest expense of approximately $375,000.

c.  To adjust the provision for income taxes related to continuing operations to
    reflect the impact of the adjustments a. and b. above.

    The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not
reflect anticipated future savings from the IT Outsourcing Agreement and revenue
the Company will earn under the Marketing Agreement with EDS as these amounts
are not estimable. The statements also do not reflect the impact on continuing

been allocated to the discontinued operations, but which may still be incurred
as part of continuing operations in the future. This amount is currently not
estimable.

3. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS FOR THE
   YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000

    The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
operations for the year ended December 31, 2000 gives effect to (i) the
acquisition of GetThere Inc., (ii) the sale of the information technology
outsourcing business and information technology infrastructure assets and
associated real estate to EDS, (iii) the use of the cash proceeds from the EDS
transaction and existing cash to retire $780 million of outstanding debt, and
(iv) the expected issuance of $300 million principal amount of the notes
pursuant to the offering and the use of $79 million of the proceeds of such
issuance to retire the outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility
as if all of the foregoing transactions had occurred on January 1, 2000, and
reflects the following pro forma adjustments:

a.  To record amortization of unearned stock compensation expense as a result of
    the assumption of unvested restricted stock and stock options in connection
    with the acquisition of GetThere.

b.  To reverse amortization of goodwill and intangible assets recorded by
    GetThere and to record amortization of goodwill and intangible assets
    resulting from the acquisition over lives ranging from two to four years.

c.  To record interest expense on the additional debt incurred to fund the
    acquisition of GetThere.

d.  To adjust the provision for income taxes related to continuing operations to
    reflect the impact of adjustments a., b. and c.

e.  To record $24.0 million of interest expense resulting from the expected
    issuance of $300 million principal amount of the notes pursuant to the
    offering, offset by a $59.0 million reduction in

    interest expense resulting from the retirement of the Company's existing
    borrowings. Interest on the $300 million principal amount of notes issued
    has been calculated using an interest rate of 8%. For each 1/8 of 1%
    increase in the interest rate, the impact would be an increase in annual
    interest expense of approximately $375,000.

f.  To adjust the provision for income taxes related to continuing operations to
    reflect the impact of adjustment e. above.

    The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not
reflect anticipated future savings from the IT Outsourcing Agreement and revenue
the Company will earn under the Marketing Agreement with EDS as these amounts
are not estimable. The statements also do not reflect the impact on continuing
operations of selling, general and administrative costs which historically have
been allocated to the discontinued operations, but may still be incurred as part
of continuing operations in the future. This amount is currently not estimable.

                                     SABRE

GENERAL

    We are a global leader in information technology for the travel and
transportation industries. Through our Sabre-TM- computer reservations system,
we are a leader in the electronic distribution of travel. The Sabre system
allows travel agencies, corporate travel departments and individual consumers to
access information about and book reservations with airlines and other providers
of travel and travel-related products and services. In addition, we are a
leading provider of information technology solutions to the travel and
transportation industries and fulfill substantially all of the data processing,
network and distributed systems needs of American Airlines, Inc. and AMR
Corporation's other subsidiaries, Canadian Airlines International, Ltd., US
Airways, Inc. and other customers.

    We are a holding company incorporated in Delaware on June 25, 1996. As the
result of a reorganization completed on July 2, 1996, we became the successor to
the businesses of The Sabre Group which were formerly operated as divisions or
subsidiaries of American Airlines or AMR. On October 17, 1996, we completed an
initial public offering of 23,230,000 shares of our Class A common stock,
representing approximately 17.8% of the economic interest of our outstanding
common equity. As of December 31, 1999, AMR owned all 107,374,000 shares of our
Class B Common Stock, representing approximately 82.7% of the economic interest
and 98.0% of the combined voting power of all classes of our voting stock.

    On July 30, 1999, we changed our name from The Sabre Group Holdings, Inc. to
our current name, Sabre Holdings Corporation.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

    On December 14, 1999, AMR announced its intention to distribute its entire
ownership interest in us to its stockholders in a spin-off. On March 15, 2000,
AMR exchanged all of its shares of our Class B common stock for an equal number
of shares of our Class A common stock and then distributed those Class A shares
to its stockholders in the form of a stock dividend. The IRS has ruled that the
spin-off will be tax-free to us, AMR and AMR's stockholders. In connection with
the spin-off, on February 18, 2000 we paid a one-time cash dividend of
$675 million, or approximately $5.20 per share, to all stockholders of record as
of the opening of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on
February 15, 2000.

    On March 7, 2000, Travelocity.com, one of our operating units, completed its
merger with Preview Travel, Inc., a publicly-traded company engaged in consumer
direct travel distribution over the Internet. In connection with the merger, we
contributed our Travelocity.com business and Preview Travel contributed its
business to a partnership that will operate the combined businesses. We
directly, and indirectly through our ownership interest in Travelocity.com, own
approximately 70% of this partnership. Public stockholders own the remainder of
the partnership through their interests in Travelocity.com. As a result of these
transactions, Travelocity.com is now one of the leading online travel services.

                            ------------------------

    Our principal executive offices are located at 4255 Amon Carter Boulevard,
Fort Worth, Texas 76155, and our telephone number is (817) 963-6400.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

    Except as we may otherwise state in any prospectus supplement, we intend to
use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities described in this
prospectus for general corporate purposes, including the retirement of debt,
additions to working capital, capital expenditures and for acquisitions.

                       RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

    The following table sets forth our consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed
charges for the periods indicated. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is
computed by dividing fixed charges into net earnings before income taxes and
earnings from equity investees, plus fixed charges and the distributed income
from equity investees. Fixed charges include interest costs and the estimated
interest component of rent expense (one-third of rent expense under operating
leases).

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

    The following description of our capital stock is not complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to our certificate of incorporation and
bylaws and to any certificate of designations that we file with the SEC if we
offer preferred stock under this prospectus. We have filed a copy of our
certificate of incorporation as an exhibit to the registration statement of
which this prospectus is part.

GENERAL

    Our authorized capital stock consists of

    - 250,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $.01 per share,

    - 107,374,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $.01 per share, and

    - 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share.

As of March 31, 2000, 129,777,118 shares of our Class A common stock, no shares
of our Class B common stock and no shares of our preferred stock were issued and
outstanding. We have proposed to our stockholders that our certificate of
incorporation be amended to remove the provisions that relate to our Class B
common stock and the provisions governing the allocation of corporate
opportunities and resolution of conflicts of interest among our company, AMR and
our respective affiliates. We are also considering amending corresponding
provisions in our bylaws. Accordingly, portions of the description of our common
stock and charter and bylaw provisions below will no longer apply following the
approval by our stockholders of the proposed charter amendments and the adoption
of the proposed bylaw amendments. The charter amendments are described in detail
in our preliminary proxy statement filed with the SEC in connection with our
annual meeting of stockholders.

COMMON STOCK

    VOTING RIGHTS

    The holders of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock generally
have identical rights except that holders of our Class A common stock are
entitled to one vote per share while holders of our Class B common stock are
entitled to 10 votes per share on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.
Holders of shares of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock are not
entitled to cumulate their votes in the election of directors.

    Generally, all matters to be voted on by our stockholders must be approved
by a majority (or, in the case of the election of directors, by a plurality) of
the votes entitled to be cast by all of our common stockholders, voting together
as a single class, subject to any voting rights granted to any of the holders of
our preferred stock. Except as the law may otherwise provide, and subject to any
voting rights granted to holders of our preferred stock, amendments to our
certificate of incorporation generally must be approved by a majority of the
combined voting power of all of our common

                                       4

stockholders, voting together as a single class. However, amendments to our
certificate of incorporation that would alter or change the powers, preferences
or special rights of our Class A common stock or our Class B common stock in an
adverse way also requires the approval of a majority of the votes entitled to be
cast by that class, voting as a separate class. Nevertheless, any amendment to
our certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized shares of any class
or authorize the creation, authorization or issuance of any securities
convertible into, or warrants or options to acquire, shares of that class
requires the approval of the holders of a majority of our common stock, voting
together as a single class.

    DIVIDENDS

    Holders of our common stock will share in an equal amount per share in any
dividend declared by our board of directors, subject to any preferential rights
of any of our outstanding preferred stock. Dividends consisting of shares of
Class A common stock and Class B common stock may be paid only as follows:

    - shares of our Class A common stock may be paid only to holders of our
      Class A common stock and shares of our Class B common stock may be paid
      only to holders of our Class B common stock and

    - shares will be paid proportionally with respect to each outstanding share
      of our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock.

    OTHER RIGHTS

    On our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, after payment in full of any
amounts we must pay to any creditors and any holders of our preferred stock, all
of our common stockholders, regardless of class, are entitled to share ratably
in any assets available for distribution to our common stockholders.

    No shares of either class of our common stock are subject to redemption or
have preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of our common stock.

PREFERRED STOCK

    As of the date of this prospectus, no shares of preferred stock are
outstanding. Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred
stock in one or more series and may determine, with respect to any series, the
designations, powers, preferences and rights of that series, and the
qualifications, limitations and restrictions of that series, including:

    - the designation of the series;

    - the number of shares of the series, which number may thereafter be
      increased or decreased by our board of directors (but not below the number
      of shares of that series then outstanding);

    - whether dividends, if any, will be cumulative or noncumulative and the
      dividend rate of the series;

    - the conditions under which and the dates upon which dividends will be
      payable, and the relation which those dividends will bear to the dividends
      payable on any other class or classes of stock;

    - the redemption rights and price or prices, if any, for shares of the
      series;

    - the terms and amounts of any sinking fund provided for the purchase or
      redemption of shares of the series;

    - the amounts payable on and the preferences of shares of the series, in the
      event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding
      up of the affairs of our company;

                                       5

    - whether the shares of the series will be convertible into shares of any
      other class or series, or any other security, of our company or any other
      corporation, and, if so, the specification of that other class or series
      or that other security, the conversion price or prices or rate or rates,
      any adjustments to that price or those prices or that rate or those rates,
      the date or dates as of which those shares will be convertible and all
      other terms and conditions upon which the conversion may be made;

    - restrictions on the issuance of shares of the same series or of any other
      class or series; and

    - the voting rights, if any, of the holders of shares of that series.

    We believe that the ability of our board of directors to issue one or more
series of preferred stock will provide us with flexibility in structuring
possible future financings and acquisitions and in meeting other corporate needs
that might arise. Our authorized shares of preferred stock will be available for
issuance without further action by our stockholders, unless that action is
required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or automated
quotation system on which our securities may be listed or traded. The New York
Stock Exchange currently requires stockholder approval as a prerequisite to
listing shares in several instances, including where the present or potential
issuance of shares could result in an increase in the number of shares of common
stock outstanding, or in the amount of voting securities outstanding, of at
least 20%.

    Although our board of directors has no intention at the present time of
doing so, it could issue a series of preferred stock that could, depending on
the terms of that series, impede the completion of a merger, tender offer or
other takeover attempt. Our board of directors may decide to issue those shares
based on its judgment as to the best interests of our company and our
stockholders. Our board of directors, in so acting, could issue preferred stock
having terms that could discourage a potential acquiror from making an
unsolicited and unwanted acquisition attempt through which that acquiror may be
able to change the composition of our board of directors, including a tender
offer or other transaction that some, or a majority, of our stockholders might
believe to be in their best interests or in which stockholders might receive a
premium for their stock over the then current market price of that stock.

BUSINESS COMBINATION STATUTE

    We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
(referred to as the DGCL) which restricts certain business combinations between
our company and an "interested stockholder" or its affiliates or associates for
three years after the stockholder becomes an "interested stockholder." An
"interested stockholder" is, in general, a stockholder that owns 15% or more of
a corporation's outstanding voting stock. The restrictions do not apply if our
board of directors approved the transaction that caused an interested
stockholder to become an interested stockholder, our board of directors approves
the transaction and stockholders holding at least 66 2/3% of our outstanding
voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder approves the transaction at
a stockholders' meeting or upon consummation of the transaction, the interested
stockholder owns at least 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the
transaction commenced (excluding certain shares). Because AMR became an
interested stockholder at a time when the restrictions did not apply, the
restrictions will not apply to any business combination with AMR. Although our
stockholders may elect to exclude our company from the restrictions imposed by
Section 203 of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation does not currently
exclude us from those restrictions.

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAW PROVISIONS

    The summary set forth below describes certain provisions of our certificate
of incorporation and bylaws. The summary is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the provisions of our certificate of

                                       6

incorporation and bylaws, copies of which we have filed as exhibits to the
registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

    Some of the provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws
discussed below may have the effect, either alone or in combination with the
provisions of Section 203 discussed above, of making more difficult or
discouraging a tender offer, proxy contest or other takeover attempt that is
opposed by our board of directors but that a stockholder might consider to be in
its best interest.

    CLASSIFIED BOARD OF DIRECTORS

    Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide for a classified board
of directors. Except for directors that may be elected by the holders of our
preferred stock or any other series or class of our stock, our board is divided
into three classes, with the directors of each class as nearly equal in number
as possible. The directors of each class serve a term that expires at the third
succeeding annual meeting of our stockholders after their election, and each
director holds office until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified.
At each annual meeting of our stockholders, the term of a different class of our
directors expires. Our board of directors may not consist of more than 12 or
less than three directors. Our bylaws also provide generally that any vacancies
will be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of our remaining
directors, even if less than a quorum. Therefore, without an amendment to our
bylaws, our board of directors could prevent any stockholder from enlarging our
board of directors and filling the new directorships with that stockholder's own
nominees.

    Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws generally provide that our
directors may be removed only for cause and only upon the affirmative vote of
holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares
of our stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors ("Voting
Stock"), voting together as a single class.

    The classification of our directors will have the effect of making it more
difficult to change the composition of our board of directors. It could also
have the effect of discouraging a third party from initiating a proxy contest,
making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company,
even though such an attempt might be beneficial to our company and our
stockholders.

    NO STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT; SPECIAL MEETINGS

    Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws generally provide
thatstockholder action can be taken only at an annual or special meeting of our
stockholders and may not be taken by written consent in place of a meeting. Our
bylaws generally provide that special meetings of our stockholders can be called
only by our board of directors. Our stockholders may not call a special meeting
or require that our board of directors call such a meeting. The business
conducted at any special meeting of our stockholders is limited to the business
set forth in our notice of meeting provided to stockholders.

    ADVANCE NOTICE PROVISIONS FOR STOCKHOLDER NOMINATIONS AND STOCKHOLDER
     PROPOSALS

    Our bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for our stockholders to
make nominations of candidates for election as directors or bring other business
before an annual meeting of our stockholders. This stockholder notice procedure
provides that only persons who are nominated by, or at the direction of, our
board of directors, or by a stockholder who has given timely written notice,
will be eligible for election as directors of our company. In addition, the
business that may be conducted at an annual meeting is limited to business that
has been brought before the meeting by, or at the direction of, our chairman of
the board or our board of directors or by a stockholder who has given timely
written notice of that stockholder's intention to bring that business before the
meeting.

    The stockholder notice procedure may have the effect of precluding a contest
for the election of directors or the consideration of stockholder proposals if
the proper procedures are not followed, and

                                       7

of discouraging or deterring a third party from conducting a solicitation of
proxies to elect its own slate of directors or to approve its own proposal,
without regard to whether consideration of those nominees or proposals might be
harmful or beneficial to our company and our stockholders.

AMENDMENTS

    Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws require that any amendment to
the provisions of our bylaws or to certain provisions of our certificate of
incorporation, including those provisions discussed above, must be approved by
the holders of at least 80% of the Voting Stock. Our certificate of
incorporation further provides that our board of directors may amend our bylaws.

CORPORATE OPPORTUNITY AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICIES

    Our certificate of incorporation contains provisions to address some
potential conflicts of interest between our company and AMR. In general, these
provisions recognize that we and AMR and our and their subsidiaries may engage
in the same or similar business activities and lines of business and may have an
interest in the same corporate opportunities. These provisions recognize that we
and AMR and our and their subsidiaries will continue to have contractual and
business relations with each other even after the tax-free spin-off.

    CORPORATE OPPORTUNITY POLICY

    Our certificate of incorporation provides that, except as AMR may otherwise
agree in writing, AMR will have the right to

    - engage in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as
      our company,

    - do business with any potential or actual client, customer or supplier of
      our company and

    - employ or engage any of our officers or employees.

    Neither AMR nor any of its officers or directors will be liable to us or our
stockholders for any breach of fiduciary duty by reason of these activities. In
addition, if AMR learns of a potential transaction or matter that may be a
corporate opportunity for both AMR and our company, AMR will have no duty to
communicate that opportunity to us. AMR will not be liable to us or our
stockholders because AMR pursues or acquires that corporate opportunity for
itself, directs that corporate opportunity to another person or entity or does
not present that corporate opportunity to us.

    If one of our directors or officers who is also a director or officer of AMR
learns of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity
for both our company and AMR, our certificate of incorporation requires that our
director or officer act in good faith under the following three-part policy:

    - a corporate opportunity offered to any person who is a director but not an
      officer of our company and who is also an officer (whether or not a
      director) of AMR will belong to AMR, unless the opportunity is expressly
      offered to that person primarily in his or her capacity as a director of
      our company; in that case, the opportunity will belong to us.

    - a corporate opportunity offered to any person who is an officer (whether
      or not a director) of our company and who is also a director but not an
      officer of AMR will belong to us, unless the opportunity is expressly
      offered to that person primarily in his or her capacity as a director of
      AMR; in that case the opportunity will belong to AMR.

    - a corporate opportunity offered to any other person who is either an
      officer of both our company and AMR or a director of both our company and
      AMR will belong to AMR or to us, as applicable, if the opportunity is
      expressly offered to the person primarily in his or her capacity

                                       8

      as an officer or director of AMR or of our company, respectively.
      Otherwise, the opportunity will belong to AMR.

    Under our certificate of incorporation, neither we nor AMR can pursue (or
direct to another person or entity) any corporate opportunity that belongs to
the other until the party to whom the opportunity determines not to pursue the
opportunity. However, if the party to whom the corporate opportunity belongs
does not within a reasonable period of time begin to pursue, or thereafter
continue to pursue, the opportunity diligently and in good faith, the other
party may pursue the opportunity (or direct it to another person or entity).

    A director or officer of our company who follows the three-part policy above
will be considered to have acted reasonably and in good faith and fully to have
satisfied his or her duties of loyalty and fiduciary duties to our company and
our stockholders with respect to that opportunity.

    Under our certificate of incorporation, "corporate opportunities"
potentially allocable to our company consist of business opportunities which

    - we are financially able to undertake;

    - are, from their nature, in our line or lines of business and are of
      practical advantage to us; and

    - are ones in which we have an interest or reasonable expectancy.

In addition, "corporate opportunities" do not include transactions that we or
AMR may participate in under any agreement between our company and AMR when any
of our equity is held of record by any person other than AMR or subsequently
entered into with the approval of our disinterested directors. For purposes of
these corporate opportunity provisions, our chairman of the board or chief
executive officer will not be considered an officer of our company by reason of
holding that position, unless that person is one of our full-time employees.

    CONFLICT OF INTERESTS POLICY

    Our certificate of incorporation provides that no contract, agreement,
arrangement or transaction between

    - our company and AMR,

    - our company and any customer or supplier or any entity in which one of our
      directors has a financial interest (a "Related Entity"), or

    - our company and one or more of the directors or officers of our company,
      AMR or any Related Entity,

or any amendment, modification or termination of that contract, agreement,
arrangement or transaction, will be voidable solely because

    - AMR or that customer or supplier, any Related Entity, or any one or more
      of the officers or directors of our company, AMR or any Related Entity are
      parties to it, or

    - any of those directors or officers are present at or participate in the
      meeting of our board of directors or committee of the board which
      authorizes the contract, agreement, arrangement, transaction, amendment,
      modification or termination (each, a "Transaction") or

    - solely because their votes are counted for that purpose,

if one of the following four requirements is met:

    - the material facts as to the Transaction are disclosed or known to our
      board of directors or the committee of our board that authorizes the
      Transaction, and our board of directors or that

                                       9

      committee in good faith approves the Transaction by a majority of the
      disinterested directors on our board or that committee, even if the
      disinterested directors are less than a quorum;

    - the material facts as to the Transaction are disclosed or known to the
      holders of the Voting Stock entitled to vote on the Transaction, and the
      Transaction is specifically approved by vote of the holders of a majority
      of the then outstanding Voting Stock not owned by AMR or the Related
      Entity, voting together as a single class;

    - the Transaction is effected under guidelines which are in good faith
      approved by a majority of the disinterested directors on our board of
      directors or the applicable committee of the board or by vote of the
      holders of a majority of the then outstanding Voting Stock not owned by
      AMR or the Related Entity, voting together as a single class; or

    - the Transaction is fair to our company as of the time it is approved by
      our board of directors, a committee of our board or our stockholders.

    Our certificate of incorporation also provides that any Transaction
authorized, approved or effected, and each of the guidelines so authorized or
approved, as described in the first three items of the immediately preceding
list, will be deemed to be entirely fair to our company and our stockholders;
provided that, if that authorization or approval is not obtained, or the
Transaction is not so effected, no presumption shall arise that the Transaction
or guideline is not fair to our company and our stockholders.

    The affirmative vote of the holders of more than 80 percent of the
outstanding Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, will be required to
alter, amend or repeal any of these conflict of interest or corporate
opportunity provisions in a manner adverse to the interests of AMR.

RIGHTS TO PURCHASE SECURITIES AND OTHER PROPERTY

    Our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors to create
and issue rights entitling their holders to purchase shares of capital stock or
other securities or property from us. Our board of directors will determine the
times at which and terms upon which those rights are to be issued. Our board of
directors has authority to determine, among other things:

    - the purchase price of the capital stock to be purchased upon exercise of
      those rights;

    - provisions relating to the times at which and the circumstances under
      which those rights may be exercised or sold or otherwise transferred,
      either together with or separately from, any other stock or other
      securities of our company;

    - provisions which adjust the number or exercise price of such rights or
      amount or nature of the stock receivable upon exercise of those rights if
      there is a combination, split or recapitalization of any of our stock, a
      change in ownership of our stock or other securities or a reorganization,
      merger, consolidation, sale of assets or other event relating to our
      company or our stock, and provisions restricting our ability to enter into
      any such transaction absent an assumption by the other party or parties to
      the transaction of our obligations under those rights;

    - provisions which deny the holder of a specified percentage of our
      outstanding securities the right to exercise those rights and cause those
      rights held by that holder to become void;

    - provisions which permit us to redeem or exchange those rights; and

    - the appointment of the rights agent with respect to those rights.

                                       10

        DESCRIPTION OF STOCK PURCHASE CONTRACTS AND STOCK PURCHASE UNITS

    We may issue stock purchase contracts, including contracts that would
require holders to purchase from us and for us to sell to them, a specified
number of shares of our Class A common stock or preferred stock at a future date

debt securities, preferred stock or U.S. Treasury securities, that secure the
holders' obligations to purchase our Class A common stock or preferred stock
under the stock purchase contracts. The stock purchase contracts may require us
to make periodic payments to the holders of the stock purchase units or vice
versa, and those payments may be unsecured or prefunded on some basis. The stock
purchase contracts may require holders to secure their obligations under the
stock purchase contracts in a specified manner.

    We will describe the terms of any stock purchase contracts or stock purchase
units that we offer under this prospectus in a prospectus supplement. The
description in the prospectus supplement will not necessarily be complete and
will be qualified in its entirety by reference to the stock purchase contracts
or stock purchase units.

                         DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

    The following description summarizes some of the general terms and
conditions of the debt securities that we may issue under this prospectus. We
will describe the particular terms of any debt securities that we offer and the
extent to which the general provisions below will apply to those debt securities
in a prospectus supplement relating to those debt securities.

    We will issue these debt securities under an indenture. SunTrust Bank will
serve as the trustee under the indenture. The terms of the debt securities will
include those stated in the indenture and those made part of the indenture by
reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The debt securities
will be subject to all those terms, and we refer the holders of the debt
securities to the indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of those
terms. Unless we otherwise indicate, capitalized terms have the meanings given
them in the indenture.

    The applicable prospectus supplement will specify whether the debt
securities we issue will be senior, senior subordinated or subordinated
(including, if applicable, junior subordinated) debt. The debt securities may be
convertible into shares of our preferred stock or Class A common stock or other
securities or may be issued as part of units of debt securities and other
securities that we may offer under this prospectus. If we issue debt securities
as part of units consisting of debt securities and other securities we may issue
under this prospectus or in exchange for shares of our preferred stock, we will
describe any applicable material federal income tax consequences to holders in
the applicable prospectus supplement.

    The following summary of various provisions of the indenture and the debt
securities is not complete.

                                       11

PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM AND INTEREST

    Unless otherwise indicated in an applicable prospectus supplement, principal
of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the debt securities will be
payable, and the debt securities will be exchangeable and transfers of debt
securities will be registrable, at the office of the trustee at 25 Park Place,
N.E., 24th Floor, Atlanta, Georgia 30303-2900. At our option, however, payment
of interest may be made by:

    - wire transfer on the date of payment in immediately available federal
      funds or next day funds to an account specified by written notice to the
      trustee from any holder of debt securities;

    - any similar manner that the holder may designate in writing to the
      trustee; or

    - check mailed to the address of the holder as it appears in the security
      register.

    Any payment of principal and premium, if any, and interest, if any, required
to be made on a day that is not a business day need not be made on that day, but
may be made on the next succeeding business day with the same force and effect
as if made on the non-business day. No interest will accrue for the period from
and after the non-business day.

    Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement relating to the
particular series of debt securities, we will issue the debt securities only in
fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 or any
multiple of $1,000. We will not require a service charge for any transfer or
exchange of the debt securities, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with any
transfer or exchange.

ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT SECURITIES

    Debt securities may be issued under the indenture as original issue discount
securities to be offered and sold at a substantial discount from their stated
principal amount. An original issue discount security under the indenture
includes any security which provides for an amount less than its principal
amount to be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration upon the
occurrence of an event of default. In addition, under regulations of the U.S.
Treasury Department it is possible that debt securities which are offered and
sold at their stated principal amount would, under certain circumstances, be
treated as issued at an original issue discount for federal income tax purposes,
and special rules may apply to debt securities and warrants which are considered
to be issued as "investment units". Federal income tax consequences and other
special considerations applicable to any such original issue discount
securities, or other debt securities treated as issued at an original issue
discount, and to "investment units" will be described in the applicable
prospectus supplement.

                                       13

BOOK-ENTRY DEBT SECURITIES

    The debt securities of a series may be issued in the form of one or more
global securities that will be deposited with a depository or its nominee
identified in the prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities. In this
case, one or more global securities will be issued in a denomination or total
denominations equal to the portion of the total principal amount of outstanding
debt securities to be represented by the global security or securities. Unless
and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities in definitive
registered form, a global security may not be registered for transfer or
exchange except as a whole by the depository for the global security to a
nominee of the depository and except in the circumstances described in the
prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities. We will describe in the
applicable prospectus supplement the terms of any depository arrangement and the
rights and limitations of owners of beneficial interests in any global debt
security.

CERTAIN COVENANTS OF SABRE

    RESTRICTIONS ON SECURED DEBT

    Unless otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement with respect to any
series of the debt securities, if Sabre or any domestic subsidiary incurs,
issues, assumes or guarantees any indebtedness for borrowed money represented by
notes, bonds, debentures or other similar evidences of indebtedness, secured by
a mortgage, pledge or other lien on any principal domestic property or on any
shares of stock or debt of any domestic subsidiary, Sabre will secure, or cause
its domestic subsidiary to secure, the debt securities equally and ratably with,
or prior to, that indebtedness, so long as that indebtedness is to be secured,
unless after giving effect to it the aggregate amount of all secured
indebtedness, together with all attributable debt in respect of sale and
leaseback transactions involving principal domestic properties, would not exceed
15% of Sabre's consolidated net assets. This restriction will not apply to, and
there shall be excluded in computing secured indebtedness for the purpose of
this restriction, indebtedness secured by:

    - mortgages on property of, or on any shares of stock or debt of, any
      corporation existing at the time that corporation becomes a domestic
      subsidiary; provided that such mortgages or liens are not incurred in
      anticipation of such corporation becoming a domestic subsidiary;

    - mortgages in favor of Sabre or any domestic subsidiary;

    - mortgages in favor of U.S. or foreign governmental bodies to secure
      partial, progress, advance or other payments;

    - mortgages on property, shares of stock or debt existing at the time of
      acquisition, including acquisition through merger or consolidation,
      purchase money mortgages and construction cost mortgages existing at or
      incurred within 120 days of the time of acquisition;

    - mortgages existing on the first date on which the debt security is
      authenticated by the trustee;

    - mortgages incurred in connection with pollution control, industrial
      revenue or similar financings; and

    - any extension, renewal or replacement of any debt secured by any mortgage
      referred to in the foregoing list, inclusive; provided that the principal
      amount of debt secured by such mortgage shall not be increased.

    RESTRICTIONS ON SALES AND LEASEBACKS

    Unless otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement with respect to any
series of the debt securities, neither Sabre nor any domestic subsidiary may
enter into any sale and leaseback transaction

                                       14

involving any principal domestic property, the acquisition or completion of
construction and commencement of full operation of which has occurred more than
120 days prior thereto, unless:

    - Sabre or the domestic subsidiary could incur a mortgage on the property
      under the restrictions described above under "Restrictions on Secured
      Debt" in an amount equal to the attributable debt with respect to the sale
      and leaseback transaction without equally and ratably securing the debt
      securities; or

    - Sabre, within 120 days after the sale or transfer by Sabre or any domestic
      subsidiary, applies to the purchase of other property that constitutes a
      principal domestic property or the retirement of Sabre's or any domestic
      subsidiary's funded debt, which is defined as indebtedness for borrowed
      money having a maturity of, or by its terms extendible or renewable for, a
      period of more than 12 months after the date of determination of the
      amount, an amount equal to the greater of:

    (1) the net proceeds of the sale of the principal domestic property sold and
       leased under such arrangement; or

    (2) the attributable debt with respect to such sale and leaseback
       transaction.

    The following are the meanings of terms that are important in understanding
the restrictive covenants previously described:

    - "attributable debt" means, in connection with a sale and leaseback
      transaction involving a lease with an original term of more than
      12 months, (1) the present value of the total net amount of rent required
      to be paid under such lease during the remaining term of the lease
      (including any renewal term or period for which such lease has been
      extended), discounted at the rate of interest set forth or implicit in the
      terms of such lease or, if not practicable to determine such a rate, the
      weighted average interest rate per year borne by the debt securities of
      each series outstanding under the indenture compounded semi-annually, or
      (2) if the obligation with respect to such sale and leaseback transaction
      is required to be classified and accounted for as a capitalized lease for
      financial reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted
      accounting principles, the amount equal to the capitalized amount of such
      obligation determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
      principles and included in the financial statements of the lessee.

    - "consolidated net assets" means the aggregate amount of assets, less
      reserves and other deductible items, after deducting current liabilities,
      as shown on Sabre's most recent consolidated balance sheet and prepared in
      accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

    - "domestic subsidiary" means a subsidiary of Sabre which owns a principal
      domestic property and transacts substantially all of its business or
      maintains substantially all of its property within the United States,
      excluding its territories, possessions and Puerto Rico. The term does not
      include any subsidiary which is engaged primarily in financing operations
      outside of the United States or in leasing personal property or financing
      inventory, receivables or other property.

    - "principal domestic property" means any building, structure or other
      facility, together with the land on which it is erected and fixtures
      comprising a part of it, used primarily for information processing,
      research or housing hardware or software required for information
      processing, located in the United States, excluding its territories,
      possessions and Puerto Rico, owned or leased by Sabre or one of Sabre's
      subsidiaries and having a net book value in excess of 1% of Sabre's
      consolidated net assets, other than any such building, structure or other
      facility or a portion which Sabre's principal executive officer, president
      and principal financial officer

                                       15

      determine in good faith is not of material importance to the total
      business conducted or assets owned by Sabre and its subsidiaries as an
      entirety.

    - "subsidiary" means any corporation, association or other business entity
      of which more than 50% of the outstanding Voting Interests is owned
      directly or indirectly by Sabre or by one or more other subsidiaries or by
      Sabre and one or more subsidiaries.

    - "Voting Interests" means, with respect to any corporation, association or
      other business entity (each, a "person"), any and all shares, interests,
      participations or other equivalents in equity of such person, ordinarily
      having the power to vote for the election of directors, managers or other
      voting members of the governing body of such person.

REDEMPTION

    If and to the extent we provide in the applicable prospectus supplement, we
will have the right to redeem the debt securities, in whole or from time to time
in part, after the date and at the redemption prices set forth in the applicable
prospectus supplement.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT

    The indenture defines an event of default for the debt securities of any
series as:

    - failure to pay principal (or premium) on any debt security of that series
      when due;

    - failure to pay interest on any debt security of that series within
      30 days of the date when due;

    - failure to deposit any sinking fund payment when due for that series;

    - failure to perform for 90 days after notice any of the other covenants in
      the indenture;

    - a default with respect to any of our publicly traded indebtedness in an
      amount in excess of $50 million, which default results in the acceleration
      of that indebtedness and the indebtedness is not discharged, the default
      is not cured or waived or the acceleration is not rescinded within ten
      days of the acceleration;

    - certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization; and

    - any other event of default provided for debt securities of that series.

    The indenture provides that if any event of default affecting outstanding
debt securities of any series occurs and is continuing, either the trustee or
the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt
securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if the debt
securities of that series are original issue discount securities or indexed
securities, the portion of the principal amount of those debt securities as
specified by their terms) of all debt securities of that series to be due and
payable immediately. However, under certain circumstances the holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series
on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series may annul a
declaration and waive past defaults (except, unless previously cured, a default
in payment of principal of or any premium or any interest on the debt securities
of that series and other specified defaults).

    We refer you to the prospectus supplement relating to each series of debt
securities that are original issue discount securities for the particular
provisions regarding acceleration of the maturity of a portion of the principal
amount of those original issue discount securities if an event of default occurs
and continues.

    The indenture contains a provision entitling the trustee, subject to its
duty to act with the required standard of care during a default under any series
of debt securities, to be indemnified by the holders

                                       16

of debt securities of that series before exercising any right or power under the
indenture at the request of the holders of the debt securities of that series.

    The indenture provides that no holder of debt securities of any series may
institute proceedings, judicial or otherwise, to enforce the indenture except if
the trustee fails to act for 60 days after it receives a written request to
enforce the indenture by the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding debt securities of that series and an offer of
reasonable indemnity. This provision will not prevent any holder of debt
securities from enforcing payment of the principal of and any premium and
interest on those debt securities when due. The holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of any series outstanding may
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it with
respect to those debt securities. However, the trustee may refuse to follow any
direction that it determines would be illegal or would conflict with the
indenture or involve it in personal liability or which would unjustly prejudice
holders of the debt securities of that series not joining the proceeding.

    The indenture provides that the trustee will, within 90 days after a default
occurs that affects the outstanding debt securities of any series, give to the
holders of those debt securities notice of that default, unless that default has
been cured or waived. Except in the case of a default in the payment of
principal of, or any premium or interest on, any debt securities or payment of
any sinking fund installment, the trustee will be protected in withholding of
that notice if it determines in good faith that the withholding of that notice
is in the interest of the holders of the debt securities of that series.

    We will be required to file with the trustee annually an officers'
certificate as to the absence of certain defaults under the terms of the
indenture.

DEFEASANCE OF DEBT SECURITIES OR SELECTED COVENANTS

    DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE.  Unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable
prospectus supplement, the debt securities of any series will provide that we
will be discharged from all obligations under the debt securities of that series
(except for obligations to register the transfer or exchange of debt securities
of that series, to replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of that
series, to maintain paying agencies and to hold moneys for payment in trust)
once we deposit with the trustee, in trust, money and/or U.S. government
obligations, which through the payment of interest and principal, will provide a
sufficient amount of money to pay and discharge the principal of (and any
premium) and any interest on, and any mandatory sinking fund payments that apply
to, the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments.
This discharge may occur only if, among other things, we deliver to the trustee
an opinion of counsel stating that we have received from, or there has been
published by, the IRS a ruling, or there has been a change in tax law, that
would cause the discharge not to be deemed, or result in, a taxable event for
the holders of the debt securities of that series.

    DEFEASANCE OF SELECTED COVENANTS.  Unless we otherwise provide in the
applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities of any series will permit
us not to comply with some restrictive covenants, including those relating to
consolidation and merger in the indenture, if we satisfy certain conditions. We
will be able to defease those covenants if, among other things:

    - we deposit with the trustee money and/or U.S. government obligations,
      which, through the payment of interest and principal, will provide a
      sufficient amount of money to pay the principal of (and any premium) and
      any interest on, and any mandatory sinking fund payments applicable to,
      the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those
      payments; and

    - we deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel stating that the deposit
      and related covenant defeasance will not cause the holders of the debt
      securities of that series to recognize income, gain or loss for federal
      income tax purposes.

                                       17

    If we elect to defease the covenants of a series of debt securities and
subsequently those debt securities are declared due and payable because an event
of default has occurred, the amount of money and/or U.S. government obligations
on deposit with the trustee will be sufficient to pay amounts due on those debt
securities at their stated maturity but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due
on those debt securities at the time of the acceleration. However, we will
remain liable for those payments.

    We will state in the prospectus supplement for any particular series of debt
securities if any defeasance provisions will apply to those debt securities.

MODIFICATION OF THE INDENTURE AND WAIVER OF COVENANTS

    The indenture permits us and the trustee, with the consent of the holders of
at least a majority in principal amount of outstanding debt securities of each
series affected, to execute supplemental indentures adding provisions to or
changing or eliminating provisions of the indenture or modifying the rights of
the holders of outstanding debt securities of that series, except that no
supplemental indenture may, without the consent of the holder of each
outstanding debt security affected:

    - change the stated maturity, or reduce the principal amount, any premium on
      or the rate of payment of any interest on, of any debt security of any
      series;

    - reduce the principal amount of, or the premium, if any, or, except as
      otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement, interest on, any debt
      security, including in the case of an original issue discount security the
      amount payable upon acceleration of the maturity;

    - change the place or currency of payment of principal of, premium, if any,
      or interest on any debt security;

    - impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on
      any debt security on or at the stated maturity thereof, or in the case of
      redemption, on or after the redemption date; or

    - reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding debt securities
      of any series, the consent of whose holders is required for modification
      or amendment of the indenture or for waiver of compliance with certain
      provisions of the indenture or for waiver of certain defaults.

    The indenture also allows us not to comply with certain covenants in the
indenture upon waiver by the holders of a majority in principal amount of
outstanding debt securities of the series affected.

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER AND SALE OF ASSETS

    The indenture allows us, without the consent of the holders of any of the
outstanding debt securities, to consolidate with or merge into any other person
or transfer or lease our assets substantially as an entirety to any person if:

    - the successor is a corporation organized under the laws of any domestic
      jurisdiction;

    - the successor corporation assumes our obligations on the debt securities
      and under the indenture; and

    - after giving effect to the transaction no event of default, and no event
      which, after notice or lapse of time, would become an event of default,
      shall have happened and be continuing.

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

    SunTrust Bank is the trustee under the indenture. We maintain banking
relationships in the ordinary course of business with the trustee. The trustee
is also a lender under our revolving credit agreement and a party to certain
other financing transactions with us.

GOVERNING LAW

    Unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, the
indenture for the debt securities and the debt securities will be governed by
New York law.

                                       18

                            DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

    We may issue debt warrants for the purchase of debt securities or Class A
common stock warrants for the purchase of our Class A common stock. Debt
warrants and Class A common stock warrants are referred to in this prospectus
collectively as "Securities Warrants." Securities Warrants may be issued
independently or together with any debt securities or Class A common stock
offered by any prospectus supplement and may be attached to or separate from
those debt securities or Class A common stock.

    Each series of Securities Warrants will be issued under a separate warrant
agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant
agent. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with warrant
certificates evidencing the Securities Warrants. The warrant agent will not
assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders
of warrant certificates or beneficial owners of Securities Warrants.

    The following description summarizes the general terms of the form of
warrant agreements and warrant certificates which have been filed as exhibits to
the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. You should
read the warrant agreement and warrant certificates for provisions summarized
below and others that may be important to you.

GENERAL

    The prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of warrants will
include the specific forms of the series, including, where applicable, the
following:

    - the title of the Securities Warrants;

    - the offering price;

    - the currency or currency units in which the purchase price for offered
      Securities Warrants may be payable;

    - the title, total principal amount, currency or currency units and other
      terms of debt securities purchasable upon exercise of debt warrants;

    - the number of shares of Class A common stock purchasable upon the exercise
      of a common stock warrant;

    - the redemption or call provisions, if any, applicable to the Securities
      Warrants;

    - the designation and terms of the debt securities with which the offered
      debt warrants are issued and the number of debt warrants issued with each
      such debt security;

    - the date on and after which the Securities Warrants and the related debt
      securities or shares of Class A common stock will be separately
      transferable;

    - the price and currency or currency units at which the amount of debt
      securities or shares of Class A common stock, as the case may be, may be
      purchased upon exercise;

    - the date on which the right to exercise the Securities Warrants begins and
      the date on which the right to exercise expires (the "expiration date");

    - the minimum and maximum amount of Securities Warrants that may be
      exercised at any one time;

    - the antidilution provisions of the Securities Warrants, if any;

    - United States federal income tax consequences applicable to that
      Securities Warrant;

    - whether the Securities Warrants represented by the warrant certificates
      will be issued in registered or bearer form; and

                                       19

    - any other terms of the Securities Warrants, including terms, procedures
      and limitations relating to exchange and exercise of the Securities
      Warrants.

TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGE

    Warrant certificates may be exchanged for new warrant certificates of
different denominations, may, if in registered form, be presented for
registration of transfer, and may be exercised at the corporate trust office of
the warrant agent. We may specify other offices where these activities may be
conducted in an applicable prospectus supplement. Before the exercise of any
Securities Warrants, holders of the Securities Warrants will not have any of the
rights of holders of the debt securities or Class A common stock, as applicable,
purchasable upon exercise. This means holders of debt warrants will not have the
right to receive payments of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on
the debt securities purchasable upon exercise or to enforce covenants in the
indenture governing the underlying debt securities. Holders of Class A common
stock warrants will not have the right to receive payments of dividends, if any,
on the Class A common stock purchasable upon such exercise or to exercise any
applicable right to vote.

EXERCISE

    Each Securities Warrant will entitle its holder to purchase the principal
amount of debt securities or the number of shares of Class A common stock at the
exercise price that is set forth in, or calculable from, the applicable
prospectus supplement. Holders will be able to exercise Securities Warrants at
any time up to the time on the expiration date set forth in the applicable
prospectus supplement. After that time, or a later date to which such expiration
date may be extended by us, unexercised Securities Warrants will become void.

    Holders will be able to exercise Securities Warrants by delivering to the
warrant agent at its corporate trust office warrant certificates properly
completed and paying the exercise price. As soon as practicable after such
delivery, we will issue and deliver to the indicated holder the debt securities
or shares of Class A common stock issuable upon that exercise. If fewer than all
of the Securities Warrants represented by a warrant certificate are exercised,
we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining number of Securities
Warrants.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

    We may sell securities issuable under this prospectus to or through one or
more underwriters or dealers and also may sell those securities directly to
institutional investors or other purchasers, or through agents.

    We may distribute the securities periodically in one or more transactions at
a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at market prices prevailing at
the time of sale, at prices related to those prevailing market prices or at
negotiated prices.

    In connection with the sale of any securities under this prospectus,
underwriters or agents may receive compensation from us or from purchasers of
securities for whom they may act as agents in the form of discounts, concessions
or commissions. Underwriters may sell the securities to or through dealers, and
those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or
commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for
whom they may act as agents. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate
in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and any
discounts or commissions received by them from us and any profit on the resale
of those securities by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions under the Securities Act. Any of those underwriters or agents will
be identified, and any compensation received from us will be described, in the
related prospectus supplement.

                                       20

    Under agreements that we may enter into, underwriters and agents who
participate in the distribution of securities issuable under this prospectus may
be entitled to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.

    If we so indicate in the related prospectus supplement, we will authorize
underwriters or other persons acting as our agents to solicit offers by some
institutions to purchase securities from us under contracts providing for
payment and delivery on a future date. Institutions with whom we would enter
into those contracts include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies,
pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and
others, but in all cases those institutions must be approved by us. The
obligations of any purchaser under a contract will be subject to the condition
that the purchase of the securities will not at the time of delivery be
prohibited under the laws of the jurisdiction to which that purchaser is
subject. The underwriters and those other agents will not have any
responsibility as to the validity or performance of those contracts.

    If underwriters or dealers are used in the sale, until the distribution of
the securities is completed, rules of the SEC may limit the ability of
underwriters and some selling group members to bid for and purchase the
securities. As an exception to these rules, underwriters may engage in some
transactions that stabilize the price of the securities. Those transactions
consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining
the price of the securities.

    If any underwriters create a short position in the securities in connection
with any offering, that is, if they sell more securities than are set forth on
the cover page of any prospectus supplement accompanying this prospectus, the
underwriters may reduce that short position by purchasing securities in the open
market.

    Underwriters may also impose a penalty bid on some selling group members.
This means that if the underwriters purchase securities in the open market to
reduce the underwriters' short position or to stabilize the price of the
securities, they may reclaim the amount of the selling concession from the
selling group members that sold those securities as part of that offering. In
general, purchases of a security for the purpose of stabilization or to reduce a
short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than it might
be in the absence of such purchases. The imposition of a penalty bid may also
affect the price of the securities to the extent that it discourages resales of
the securities.

    Some of the underwriters or agents and their associates may engage in
transactions with and perform services for us or our affiliates in the ordinary
course of business.

    The securities we sell under this prospectus may or may not be listed on a
national securities exchange (other than our Class A common stock, which is
listed on the New York Stock Exchange). We will list on the New York Stock
Exchange any shares of our Class A common stock sold under a prospectus
supplement to this prospectus, subject to official notice of issuance. We can
not assure you that there will be an active trading market for any of the
securities sold under this prospectus.

                                 LEGAL MATTERS

    The validity of the securities issuable under this prospectus will be passed
upon for us by Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, a partnership including
professional corporations, New York, New York.
