ITEM 2.01 COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
On July 20, 2005, Sabre Holdings Corporation filed a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that it, through its wholly owned indirect subsidiary, Travelocity Europe Limited, completed its acquisition of lastminute.com plc, pursuant to the terms of the Scheme of Arrangement that was filed with the Registrar of Companies in England and Wales on July 20, 2005.
The registrant hereby amends its July 20, 2005 Current Report on Form 8-K to include the items required by Item 9.01 (a) and (b) of Form 8-K.
This acquisition is subject to various risks,
including the risks set forth in Sabre Holdings most recent Quarterly Report
on Form
10-Q. As the registrant stated in its
most recent Form 10-Q, Sabre Holdings has initiated its efforts to assess the
internal controls over financial reporting related to lastminute.coms business
but that assessment is not complete, and it does not expect to report on the
assessment until 2006. Sabre Holdings
will attempt to promptly resolve any identified deficiencies and
weaknesses. As with any system of
controls and procedures, Sabre Holdings cannot, and will not be able to,
provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if
any, within lastminute.com have been detected.
Furthermore, the design of any system of controls and procedures is
based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events,
and there can be no assurance that lastminute.coms current design, or any
additional controls imposed by Sabre Holdings as a result of its assessment,
will succeed in achieving the stated goals under all potential future
conditions, regardless of how unlikely.
Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective system of
controls and procedures, misstatmenets or omissions due to error or fraud may
occur and not be detected. Sabre
Holdings may incur significant additional costs to resolve deficiencies in
internal controls and disclosure controls.
