style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;">On May 24, 2017, Sabre Corporation (&#8220;Sabre&#8221;) concluded that, as required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, it expects to record a charge of approximately $80 million to $100 million, before taxes, for impairment of Sabre&#8217;s previously capitalized net costs and other assets, net of expected estimated recoverable fees and deferred revenue, associated with its contract with Air Berlin Plc &amp; Co Luftverkehrs KG (&#8220;Air Berlin&#8221;). This impairment charge represents a non-cash expense in the second quarter of 2017. Sabre has notified Air Berlin that, given the substantial amount of uncertainty of reaching an agreement regarding the implementation of SaaS services pursuant to the contract, Sabre is commencing a formal resolution process, resulting in the charge. The contract provides for recoverability of at least a portion of capitalized net costs, which has been considered in the impairment assessment. Further, Sabre believes that its rights under the contract would entitle it to a termination fee that is substantially higher than the amount of this impairment charge. The impairment charge will result in a material impact on Sabre&#8217;s financial results, and related matters are expected to further adversely impact Sabre's future results of operations and cash flow.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;">Forward-Looking Statements</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;">Any statements herein regarding Sabre that are not historical or current facts are forward-looking statements.

Item 2.06
Material Impairments
On May 24, 2017, Sabre Corporation ("Sabre") concluded that, as required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, it expects to record a charge of approximately $80 million to $100 million, before taxes, for impairment of Sabre's previously capitalized net costs and other assets, net of expected estimated recoverable fees and deferred revenue, associated with its contract with Air Berlin Plc & Co Luftverkehrs KG ("Air Berlin"). This impairment charge represents a non-cash expense in the second quarter of 2017. Sabre has notified Air Berlin that, given the substantial amount of uncertainty of reaching an agreement regarding the implementation of SaaS services pursuant to the contract, Sabre is commencing a formal resolution process, resulting in the charge. The contract provides for recoverability of at least a portion of capitalized net costs, which has been considered in the impairment assessment. Further, Sabre believes that its rights under the contract would entitle it to a termination fee that is substantially higher than the amount of this impairment charge. The impairment charge will result in a material impact on Sabre's financial results, and related matters are expected to further adversely impact Sabre's future results of operations and cash flow.
