ITEM 9. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.
On December 6, 2001, Registrant will distribute "The Edge" to the
public and the investment community. The Edge is a periodic newsletter for
the investment community that is designed to provide updates regarding events

revenue and earnings outlook. The current edition of The Edge will be
available on the "Investor Relations" section of Registrant's Web site at
WWW.SABRE.COM beginning on December 6, 2001.
This issue of The Edge addresses Sabre's recently announced

announced agreements with Rosenbluth International and Navigant
International. The Edge also highlights new Airline Solutions agreements
with Southwest Airlines and El Al Airlines. In addition, The Edge also
provides new contact information for the Company's Investor Relations group.
This issue of The Edge also summarizes financial highlights and

bookings share. This issue also gives management's financial outlook for
fourth quarter of 2001.
