Sabre said Tuesday in a regulatory filing that it plans to raise up to $100M in an initial public offering.
In a filing with the US SEC, Sabre said the $100M IPO is for the purpose of calculating the registration fees and that the size of the final offering may vary.
Sabre did not disclose either the number of shares it plans to offer or the expected price range. The funds from the IPO will be used to repay debts and for general corp purposes.
Morgan Stanley, GS, BofA Merrill Lynch and DB Securities are acting as underwriters for the offering.
The announcement is part of efforts by Sabre to become a public company again. Sabre, which provides technology solutions to the travel and tourism industry, was spun off from AMR Corp in an IPO in 2000, and in 2007, was taken private by private equity firms TPG Funds and Silver Lake Funds.
Sabre said its portfolio of technology solutions has enabled it to become a leading provider in the travel industry and is optimistic about its prospects, given the economic recovery and the trend toward travel-technology outsourcing.
