FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
The forward-looking statements contained herein involve risks and uncertainties. Many of the statements appear, in particular, in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. Forward-looking statements identify prospective information. Important factors could cause actual results to differ, possibly materially, from those in the forward-looking statements. In some cases you can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “plan”, “predict”, “potential”, “should”, “will” and “would” or other similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss our future priorities, goals, strategies, actions to improve business performance, market growth assumptions and expectations, new products, product pricing, changes to our business processes, future business opportunities, capital expenditures, financing needs, financial position and other information that is not historical information. References within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we”, “our” or “us” means Travelport Limited, a Bermuda company, and its subsidiaries.
 
The following list represents some, but not necessarily all, of the factors that could cause actual results to differ from historical results of continuing operations or those anticipated or predicted by these forward-looking statements:
 
  •  factors affecting the level of travel activity, particularly air travel volume, including security concerns, general economic conditions, natural disasters and other disruptions;
 
  •  the impact outstanding indebtedness may have on the way we operate our business;
 
  •  our ability to obtain travel supplier inventory from travel suppliers, such as airlines, hotels, car rental companies, cruise lines and other travel suppliers;
 
  •  our ability to maintain existing relationships with travel agencies and tour operators and to enter into new relationships on acceptable financial and other terms;
 
  •  our ability to develop and deliver products and services that are valuable to travel agencies and travel suppliers and generate new revenue streams, including our new universal desktop product;
 
  •  the impact on supplier capacity and inventory resulting from consolidation of the airline industry;
 
  •  our ability to grow adjacencies, such as our acquisition of Sprice and our controlling interest in eNett;
 
  •  general economic and business conditions in the markets in which we operate, including fluctuations in currencies;
 
  •  pricing, regulatory and other trends in the travel industry, including the direct connect efforts of American Airlines and our litigation with American Airlines related thereto;
 
  •  risks associated with doing business in multiple countries and in multiple currencies;
 
  •  our ability to achieve expected cost savings from our efforts to improve operational efficiency;
 
  •  maintenance and protection of our information technology and intellectual property; and
 
  •  financing plans and access to adequate capital on favorable terms.
 
We caution you that the foregoing list of important factors may not contain all of the factors that are important to you. In addition, in light of these risks and uncertainties, the matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this report may not in fact occur.
 
Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking information is based on information available at the time and/or management’s good faith belief with respect to future events and is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements. The factors listed in the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2011, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, filed with the SEC on August 9, 2011, as well as any other cautionary language in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations described in the forward-looking statements. You should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in these risk factors and elsewhere in this report could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
 
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect thereto or with respect to other forward-looking statements.

TRAVELPORT LIMITED
 
 
 
1.  Basis of Presentation
 
Travelport Limited (the “Company” or “Travelport”) is a broad-based business services company and a leading provider of critical transaction processing solutions to companies operating in the global travel industry. Travelport is comprised of the global distribution system (“GDS”) business that includes the Worldspan and Galileo brands and the Airline IT Solutions business, which hosts mission critical applications and provides business and data analysis solutions for major airlines. The Company also owns approximately 48% of Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. (“Orbitz Worldwide”), a leading global online travel company. The Company has approximately 3,500 employees and operates in approximately 160 countries. Travelport is a closely held company.
 
These financial statements and other financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited. They have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim reporting. Certain disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
 
The December 31, 2010 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP. However, the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
 
On May 5, 2011, the Company completed the sale of the Gullivers Travel Associates (“GTA”) business to Kuoni Travel Holdings Limited (“Kuoni”). The Company realized a gain of $312 million, net of tax, on the transaction. Proceeds from the sale, together with existing cash, were used to make a $655 million early repayment of indebtedness outstanding under the Company’s senior secured credit agreement. The gain from the disposal of the GTA business and the results of operations of the GTA business are presented as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations and consolidated condensed statements of cash flows. The assets and liabilities of the GTA business are classified as discontinued operations on the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheet for periods presented prior to the sale.
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgments and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. In management’s opinion, the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these interim results. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or any subsequent interim period. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(unaudited)
 
2.  Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
Amendments to Goodwill Impairment Testing
 
In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended guidance to allow the use of a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment. There will no longer be a requirement to perform the two step goodwill impairment test if, based on a qualitative assessment, it is determined to be more likely than not (more than 50 percent) that the fair value of goodwill is greater than its carrying amount. This guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis for all annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The Company does not anticipate an impact on the consolidated financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.
 
Amendments to Presentation of Other Comprehensive Income
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of the statement of changes in equity and requires companies to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance also requires items reclassified from OCI to net income to be disclosed in both net income and OCI. This guidance is to be applied on a retrospective basis for all annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The Company does not anticipate an impact on the consolidated financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance, other than presentation.
 
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance on measuring fair value and on disclosing information about fair value measurements. This new guidance provides clarification on the application of certain valuation methods, clarification on measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in an entity’s own equity, new guidance related to measuring the fair value of financial instruments that are managed within a portfolio, and new guidance related to the use of premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement. This guidance also requires additional disclosures to be made for fair value measurements categorized as Level 3. This guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis for all annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is assessing the impact of this new guidance, but does not anticipate a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
Disclosure of Supplementary Pro-Forma Information for Business Combinations
 
In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance to clarify disclosure requirements for pro-forma information on revenues and earnings for business combinations. This guidance clarifies that where comparative financial statements are presented, revenue and earnings of the combined entity should be disclosed as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current reporting period had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. This guidance also expands disclosure requirements to include a description of the nature and amount of material, non-recurring pro-forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro-forma revenue and earnings. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2011, and there was no impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.
 
Goodwill Impairment Testing
 
In December 2010, the FASB issued amended goodwill impairment testing guidance for reporting units with an overall nil or negative carrying amount, but a positive goodwill balance. This amended guidance

(unaudited)
 
2.  Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
 
requires that for these reporting units, the second stage of goodwill impairment testing should be performed when it is considered more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists. This assessment should be made by considering whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating impairment of the goodwill. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2011, and there was no impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.
 
Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance related to new disclosures about fair value measurements and clarification on certain existing disclosure requirements. This guidance requires new disclosures on significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 categories of fair value measurements. This guidance also clarifies existing requirements on (i) the level of disaggregation in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities for fair value measurement disclosures, and (ii) disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance on January 1, 2010, except for the new disclosures around the activity in Level 3 categories of fair value measurements, which the Company adopted on January 1, 2011, as required. There was no impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.
 
Amendment to Revenue Recognition involving Multiple Deliverable Arrangements
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued amended revenue recognition guidance for arrangements with multiple deliverables. The new guidance eliminates the residual method of revenue recognition and allows the use of management’s best estimate of selling price for individual elements of an arrangement when vendor specific objective evidence of fair value or third-party evidence is unavailable. This guidance is effective for all new or materially modified arrangements entered into in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2011, as required. There was no material impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.
 
Amendment to Software Revenue Recognition
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance which amended the scope of existing software revenue recognition accounting. Tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality would be scoped out of the accounting guidance on software and accounted for based on other appropriate revenue recognition guidance. This guidance is effective for all new or materially modified arrangements entered into in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2011, as required. There was no material impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.

On September 30, 2011, the Company amended its existing senior secured credit agreement pursuant to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, among other things: (i) allows for new second lien term loans secured on a second priority basis as described further below; (ii) adds a minimum liquidity covenant to be effective under certain conditions; (iii) increases the restricted payment capacity; (iv) limits the general basket for investments to $20 million; (v) provides for the payment of a consent fee to various lenders; (vi) requires the Company to purchase and retire up to $20 million of its senior notes under certain conditions for each of the next two years; and (vii) amends the Company’s total leverage ratio test, which is initially set at 8.0 until June 30, 2013, and adds a first lien leverage ratio test, which is initially set at 4.0 until June 30, 2013.
 
On September 30, 2011, the Company entered into a second lien credit agreement (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”) which: (i) allows for new term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $342.5 million; (ii) has a maturity date of December 1, 2016; (iii) carries an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 6%, payable in cash (only when permitted by the terms of the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) or payment-in-kind interest on a cumulative quarterly basis; (iv) is guaranteed, on a secured second priority basis, by the same entities that guarantee the obligations under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement; (v) has substantially the same covenants and events of default as under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with certain exceptions; and (vi) may, under certain conditions, be converted into newly issued private-for-life bonds to be governed by an indenture that contains substantially the same covenants, events of default and remedies as the Second Lien Credit Agreement.
 
On September 30, 2011, the Company issued and distributed $207.5 million of term loans under the Second Lien Credit Agreement to its direct parent company, Travelport Holdings Limited (“Holdings”). On

10.  Long-Term Debt (Continued)
 
October 3, 2011, Holdings exchanged its second lien term loans as consideration to purchase $207.6 million of its unsecured payment-in-kind (“PIK”) term loans at par.
 
In May 2011, proceeds from the sale of the GTA business, together with existing cash, were used to make a $655 million early repayment of term loans outstanding under the senior secured credit agreement, consisting of $19 million of euro denominated term loans due August 2013, $135 million of euro denominated term loans due August 2015, $51 million of dollar denominated term loans due August 2013 and $450 million of dollar denominated term loans due August 2015. Due to these early repayments, the Company is no longer required to repay quarterly installments equal to 1% per annum of the original funded principal amount.
 
Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company repaid approximately $3 million of its dollar denominated debt as quarterly installments under its senior secured credit agreement and approximately $11 million under its capital lease obligations. Furthermore, during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company entered into $16 million of capital leases for information technology assets.
 
The principal amount of euro denominated long-term debt increased by approximately $15 million as a result of foreign exchange fluctuations during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This foreign exchange loss was fully offset by gains on foreign exchange derivative instruments contracted by the Company.
 
As of September 30, 2011, the Company had a $270 million revolving credit facility with a consortium of banks under its senior secured credit agreement. The Company had no borrowings or letter of credit commitments outstanding under this revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2011. On October 6, 2011, the Company entered into a revolving credit loan modification agreement related to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, pursuant to which its revolving credit facility reduced to $181 million. Furthermore, as a result of this agreement, among other things, (i) the maturity date for $118 million of the revolving credit facility was extended to August 23, 2013; (ii) the interest rate on such extended revolving loans increased from LIBOR plus 2.75% to LIBOR plus 4.50%; and (iii) the commitment fee on such extended revolving loans increased from 50 basis points to 300 basis points.
 
The Company has a $133 million letter of credit facility collateralized by $137 million of restricted cash and a $13 million synthetic letter of credit facility. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $99 million of commitments outstanding under its cash collateralized letter of credit facility and $10 million of commitments outstanding under its synthetic letter of credit facility. The outstanding commitments under these two facilities included approximately $75 million in letters of credit issued by the Company on behalf of Orbitz Worldwide, pursuant to the Company’s separation agreement with Orbitz Worldwide. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had $37 million of remaining capacity under its letter of credit facilities.

Debt Issuance Costs
 
Debt issuance costs are capitalized within other non-current assets on the balance sheet and amortized over the term of the related debt into earnings as part of interest expenses on the consolidated condensed statement of operations. The movement in deferred financing costs is summarized below:
 
         
(in $ millions)

In September 2011, the Company also incurred $16 million of debt finance costs which were recorded directly in the consolidated condensed statement of operations in connection with the credit agreement amendments and the second lien debt. Of the total debt finance costs of $100 million incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, $84 million had been paid as of September 30, 2011.
 
11.  Financial Instruments
 
The Company uses derivative instruments as part of its overall strategy to manage its exposure to market risks primarily associated with fluctuations in foreign currency and interest rates. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
 
As of September 30, 2011, the Company had a net liability position of $29 million related to derivative instruments associated with its euro denominated and floating rate debt, its foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, and forecasted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries.
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
A portion of the Company’s long-term debt is exposed to interest rate fluctuations. The Company uses hedging strategies and derivative financial instruments to create an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate debt. The primary interest rate exposure as of September 30, 2011 was to interest rate fluctuations in the United States and Europe, specifically USLIBOR and EURIBOR interest rates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company used interest rate and cross currency swaps as the derivative instruments in

these hedging strategies. The Company does not designate these interest rate and cross currency swaps as accounting hedges; however, the fluctuations in the value of these contracts recorded within the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations largely offset the impact of the changes in the value of the underlying risk they are intended to economically hedge.
 
Foreign Currency Risk
 
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its euro denominated debt. The Company does not designate these forward contracts as cash flow hedges; however, the fluctuations in the value of these forward contracts recorded within the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations largely offset the impact of the changes in the value of the euro denominated debt they are intended to economically hedge.
 
The Company also uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its foreign currency denominated receivables and payables and forecasted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. The Company primarily enters into foreign currency forward contracts to manage its foreign currency exposure to the British pound, Euro and Australian dollar. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, none of the derivative contracts used to manage the Company’s foreign currency exposure was designated as cash flow hedges, although during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, certain contracts were designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The fluctuations in the value of these forward contracts do, however, largely offset the impact of changes in the value of the underlying risk they are intended to economically hedge.
 
The fair value of all the forward contracts and the impact of the changes in the fair value of these forward contracts are presented in the tables below.
 
Fair Value Disclosures for Derivative Instruments
 
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value consist primarily of derivative instruments. These amounts have been categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy and are categorized as Level 2 — Significant Other Observable Inputs as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
 
The fair value of interest rate and cross currency swap derivative instruments is determined using pricing models based on discounted cash flows that use inputs from actively quoted markets for similar instruments, adjusted for the Company’s own credit risk and counterparty credit risk. This adjustment is calculated based on the default probability of the banking counterparty and/or the Company and is obtained from active credit default swap markets. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is determined by comparing the contract rate to a published forward price of the underlying currency, which is based on market rates for comparable transactions.
 
Changes in fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments and the ineffective portion of derivatives designated as hedging instruments are recognized in earnings in the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations.
 
Presented below is a summary of the fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts, none of which have been designated as hedging instruments, recorded on the consolidated condensed balance sheets at fair value.

As of September 30, 2011, the Company had an aggregate outstanding notional $1,250 million of interest rate swaps, and $995 million of foreign currency forward contracts. Of these, $1,000 million of interest rate swaps expire in December 2011 and all other derivative contracts cover transactions for periods that do not exceed two years.
 
The table below presents the impact that changes in fair values of derivatives designated as hedges had on accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and income (loss) during the period and the impact derivatives not designated as hedges had on income (loss) during that period.

During 2010, the Company de-designated as hedges certain of its derivative contracts. The total loss in relation to these contracts of $2 million as of September 30, 2011 is included within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and is being recorded in income (loss) in the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations over the period to December 2011, in line with the previously hedged cash flows relating to these contracts. The total amount of loss recorded on these contracts in the consolidated condensed statements of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $2 million and

$7 million, respectively. The total amount of loss recorded on these contracts in the consolidated condensed statements of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $4 million and $6 million, respectively.
 
The total amount of gain (loss) reclassified into interest expense from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the interest rate swaps designated as hedges includes amounts for ineffectiveness of nil and less than $(1) million for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
The total amount of loss expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations within the next 12 months is expected to be $2 million.
 
Fair Value Disclosures for All Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate to their fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.
 
The fair values of the Company’s other financial instruments are as follows:

The fair value of the investment in Orbitz Worldwide has been determined based on quoted prices in active markets.
 
The fair value of the total debt has been determined by calculating the fair value of the senior notes and senior subordinated notes based on quoted prices in active markets for identical debt instruments and by calculating amounts outstanding under the senior secured credit agreement based on market observable inputs.
 
12.  Equity-Based Compensation
 
As detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011, the partnership that indirectly owns a majority shareholding in the Company (the “Partnership”) has an equity-based, long-term incentive program for the purpose of retaining certain key employees. Under several plans within this program, key employees have been granted restricted equity units and profit interests in the Partnership.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the board of directors of the Partnership authorized the grant of 0.8 million restricted equity units under the 2010 Travelport Long-Term Incentive Plan, but none of these restricted equity units have been recognized for accounting purposes as being granted.
 
As of September 30, 2011, there are 15.0 million restricted equity units authorized for grant under the 2009 Travelport Long-Term Incentive Plan, which will be recognized as granted for accounting purposes over the subsequent period through December 31, 2012, and 7.5 million restricted equity units authorized for grant

12.  Equity-Based Compensation (Continued)
 
under the 2010 Travelport Long-Term Incentive Plan, which will be recognized as granted for accounting purposes over the subsequent period through December 31, 2013. The level of award vesting each year is dependent upon continued service and performance measures of the business as established by the board of directors of the Partnership.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the board of directors of the Partnership authorized the grant of a further 0.5 million restricted equity units, which will be recognized as granted for accounting purposes over the period through August 1, 2015. The level of award vesting each year will be dependent upon continued service and performance measures of the business as established by the board of directors of the Partnership. In May 2011, there was an acceleration in the vesting of 1.7 million restricted equity units with a fair value of $0.47 per unit, previously awarded but not granted for accounting purposes, due to the sale of the GTA business. The fair value of the restricted equity units, recognized as grants for accounting purposes, is based on a valuation of the total equity of the Partnership at the time of each grant.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company completed net share settlements for 1.8 million restricted equity units. These net share settlements were in connection with taxes incurred on the conversion to Class A-2 units of restricted equity units during 2011, creating taxable income for employees of the Company. The Company agreed to pay these taxes on behalf of the employees in return for the employees returning an equivalent value of restricted equity units. The net settlements resulted in a decrease of approximately $1 million to equity on the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheet as the cash payment of the taxes was effectively a repurchase of previously granted restricted equity units. This decrease to equity was offset by an increase of approximately $1 million to equity due to the compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, 5.5 million restricted equity units were forfeited based upon performance and a further 0.5 million restricted equity units were forfeited due to departures, including 0.2 million due to the sale of the GTA business.

13.  Equity
 
Description of Capital Stock
 
The Company has authorized share capital of $12,000 and has issued 12,000 shares, with a par value of $1 per share. The share capital of the Company is divided into shares of a single class the holders of which, subject to the provisions of the bye-laws, are (i) entitled to one vote per share; (ii) entitled to such dividends as the Board may from time to time declare; (iii) in the event of a winding-up or dissolution of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or for the purpose of a reorganization or otherwise or upon any distribution of capital, entitled to the surplus assets of the Company; and (iv) generally entitled to enjoy all of the rights attaching to shares.
 
The Board may, subject to the bye-laws and in accordance with Bermudan legislation, declare a dividend to be paid to the shareholders, in proportion to the number of shares held by them. Such dividend may be paid in cash and/or in kind. No unpaid dividend bears interest.
 
The Board may elect any date as the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to receive any dividend. The Board may declare and make such other distributions to the members as may be lawfully made out of the assets of the Company. No unpaid distribution bears interest.
 
Shareholders’ Agreement
 
In connection with a restructuring (the “Restructuring”) with respect to the Company’s direct parent holding company, Holdings, senior unsecured PIK term loans, on October 3, 2011, the Company and its direct and indirect parent companies entered into a shareholders’ agreement (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”) with the PIK term loan lenders (the “New Shareholders”). Pursuant to the Shareholders’ Agreement, as partial consideration for the Restructuring, the New Shareholders received, among other things, their pro rata share of 40% of the fully diluted issued and outstanding equity of Travelport Worldwide Limited (“Worldwide”), the direct parent of Holdings.
 
Subject to certain conditions, additional equity securities may be issued to the New Shareholders, which would bring the total equity held by the New Shareholders to 44% of Worldwide.
 
The Shareholders’ Agreement, among other things: (i) allows the New Shareholders to appoint two directors to the Company’s board of directors as well as the boards of directors of Holdings and Worldwide, subject to certain conditions; (ii) restricts the Company’s ability to enter into certain affiliate transactions, authorize or issue new equity securities and amend the Company’s organizational documents without the consent of the New Shareholders; and (iii) allows holders of 2% or more of the outstanding equity of Worldwide to obtain additional information about the Company and certain of its parent companies.
 
Distributions to Parent
 
On September 30, 2011, the Company made distributions to Holdings of $297 million, comprising $89 million of cash and $208 million of second lien term loans.
 
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
Other comprehensive income (loss) represents certain components of revenues, expenses, gains and losses that are included in comprehensive income (loss), but are excluded from net (loss) income. Other

14.  Commitments and Contingencies
 
Purchase Commitments
 
In the ordinary course of business, the Company makes various commitments to purchase goods and services from specific suppliers, including those related to capital expenditures. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $128 million of outstanding purchase commitments, primarily relating to service contracts for information technology (of which $53 million relates to the twelve months ended September 30, 2012). These purchase obligations extend through 2015.
 
Company Litigation
 
The Company is involved in various claims, legal proceedings and governmental inquiries related to contract disputes, business practices, intellectual property and other commercial, employment and tax matters. The Company believes it has adequately accrued for such matters as appropriate or, for matters not requiring accrual, believes that they will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows based on information currently available. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable and although the Company believes that its accruals are adequate and/or that it has valid defenses in these matters, unfavorable resolutions could occur, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows in a particular reporting period.
 
The Company is currently in dispute with American Airlines regarding its GDS distribution agreement (as amended). American Airlines is also alleging, among other things, violations of US federal antitrust laws. The Company believes American Airlines’ claims are without merit and, while no assurance can be provided, the Company does not believe the outcome of these disputes will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or liquidity condition.
 
In connection with the Company’s former third-party national distribution companies (“NDC”) arrangements in the Middle East, the Company is involved in disputes with certain of its former NDC partners regarding the payment of certain disputed fees. The Company believes these disputes are without merit and does not believe the outcome of these disputes will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or its liquidity condition. During the fourth quarter of 2010, one such dispute was resolved in the Company’s favor.

14.  Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
 
Other Commitments
 
As part of the Restructuring, subject to a declaratory judgment ruling, the Company intends to invest $135 million of the second lien term loans into a newly-created unrestricted subsidiary, which will then issue a guarantee for $135 million of Holdings’ PIK term loans due September 30, 2012. The guarantee will be secured by the $135 million of second lien term loans. See Part II, Item 5 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
 
Standard Guarantees/Indemnifications
 
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into numerous agreements that contain standard guarantees and indemnities whereby the Company indemnifies another party for breaches of representations and warranties. In addition, many of these parties are also indemnified against any third-party claim resulting from the transaction that is contemplated in the underlying agreement. Such guarantees or indemnifications are granted under various agreements, including those governing (i) purchases, sales or outsourcing of assets or businesses, (ii) leases of real estate, (iii) licensing of trademarks, (iv) use of derivatives, and (v) issuances of debt securities. The guarantees or indemnifications issued are for the benefit of the (i) buyers in sale agreements and sellers in purchase agreements, (ii) landlords in lease contracts, (iii) licensees of the Company’s trademarks, (iv) financial institutions in derivative contracts, and (v) underwriters in debt security issuances. While some of these guarantees extend only for the duration of the underlying agreement, many survive the expiration of the term of the agreement or extend into perpetuity (unless subject to a legal statute of limitations). There are no specific limitations on the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these guarantees, nor is the Company able to develop an estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments to be made under these guarantees, as the triggering events are not subject to predictability and there is little or no history of claims against the Company under such arrangements. With respect to certain of the aforementioned guarantees, such as indemnifications of landlords against third-party claims for the use of real estate property leased by the Company, the Company maintains insurance coverage that mitigates any potential payments to be made.
 
15.  Segment Information
 
Due to the sale of the GTA business during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company now has one reportable segment.
 
16.  Subsequent Events
 
On October 3, 2011, the Company’s direct parent, Holdings, exchanged its second lien term loan as consideration to purchase its senior unsecured PIK term loans in connection with the Restructuring.
 
On October 3, 2011, the Company and its direct and indirect parent companies entered into the Shareholders’ Agreement with the New Shareholders. Pursuant to the Shareholders’ Agreement, as partial consideration for the Restructuring, the New Shareholders received their pro rata share of 40% of the fully diluted issued and outstanding equity of Worldwide, the direct parent of Holdings. See Note 13 — Equity — Shareholders’ Agreement for additional information.
 
On October 6, 2011, the Company entered into a revolving credit loan modification agreement related to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, pursuant to which its revolving credit facility reduced

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements and involves numerous risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. See “Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 2 of this Form 10-Q. Unless otherwise noted, all amounts are in $  millions.
 
Overview
 
We are a broad-based business services company and a leading provider of critical transaction processing solutions and data to companies operating in the global travel industry. We believe we are one of the most diversified of such companies in the world, both geographically and in the scope of the services we provide.
 
Our business consists of our Global Distribution Systems (“GDSs”), which provide aggregation, search and transaction processing services to travel suppliers and travel agencies, allowing travel agencies to search, compare, process and book tens of thousands of itinerary and pricing options across multiple travel suppliers within seconds. Our business operates three systems, Galileo, Apollo and Worldspan, across approximately 160 countries to provide travel agencies with booking technology and access to considerable supplier inventory that we aggregate from airlines, hotels, car rental companies, rail networks, cruise and tour operators, and destination service providers. Our GDSs provide travel distribution services to approximately 800 active travel suppliers and approximately 67,000 online and offline travel agencies, which in turn serve millions of end consumers globally. In 2010, approximately 170 million tickets were issued through our GDSs, with approximately six billion stored fares normally available at any one time. Our GDSs executed an average of 77 million searches and processed up to 1.8 billion travel-related messages per day in 2010.
 
Our Airline IT Solutions business provides hosting solutions and IT subscription services to airlines to enable them to focus on their core business competencies and reduce costs, as well as business intelligence services. Our Airline IT Solutions business manages the mission critical reservations and related systems for United and Delta as well as seven other airlines. Our Airline IT Solutions business also provides an array of leading-edge IT software subscription services, directly and indirectly, to over 270 airlines and airline ground handlers globally.
 
Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”)
 
Management monitors the performance of our operations against our strategic objectives on a regular basis. Performance is assessed against the strategy, budget and forecasts using financial and non-financial measures. We use the following primary measures to assess our financial performance and the performance of our operating business.

Travelport Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as a measure comparable to net income as determined under US GAAP as it does not take into account certain expenses such as depreciation and amortization, interest, income tax, and other costs we believe are unrelated to our ongoing operations. In addition, Travelport Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. The presentation of Travelport Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and this measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Travelport’s results as reported under US GAAP.
 
We define Travelport Adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) from continuing operations before equity in earnings (losses) of investment in Orbitz Worldwide, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and adjusted to exclude items we believe potentially restrict our ability to assess the results of our underlying business.
 
We have included Travelport Adjusted EBITDA as it is the primary metric used by management across our Company to evaluate and understand the underlying operations and business trends, forecast future results and determine future capital investment allocations. In addition, it is used by the Board to determine incentive compensation.
 
We believe Travelport Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure as it allows management to monitor our ongoing core operations. The core operations represent the primary trading operations of the business. Since our formation, actual results have been significantly affected by events that are unrelated to our ongoing operations due to the number of changes to our business during that time. These events include, among other things, the acquisition of Worldspan and subsequent integration, the transfer of our finance and human resources functions from the United States to the United Kingdom and the associated restructuring costs. During the periods presented, these items primarily relate to the impact of purchase accounting, expenses incurred in conjunction with Travelport’s separation from Cendant, expenses incurred to acquire and integrate Travelport’s portfolio of businesses, costs associated with Travelport’s restructuring efforts and non-cash equity-based compensation.

(2) Restructuring charges represent the costs incurred to enhance our organizational efficiency and to consolidate and rationalize existing processes.
 
(3) Other includes amounts relating to purchase accounting impacts, including deferred revenue adjustments recorded at the time of the acquisition of the Travelport business from Cendant (totaling less than $1 million and $1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $2 million and $3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively) and a $4 million write-off of property and equipment for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. An $8 million adjustment relating to a revenue reserve was booked in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 due to an item occurring outside the normal course of operations.
 
Factors Affecting Results of Operations
 
Consolidations within the Airline Industry: As a result of recent consolidations within the airline industry, our annual revenue and EBITDA have been impacted. Delta’s acquisition of Northwest, both being customers of our Airline IT Solutions business, resulted in these airlines migrating to a common IT platform, with reduced needs from our IT services. Further, following the merger of United Airlines with Continental Airlines in 2010, we received a notice from United Airlines, terminating its agreement for the Apollo reservation system operated by us on their behalf, with a termination date of March 1, 2012.
 
Seasonality: Our businesses experience seasonal fluctuations, reflecting seasonal trends for the products and services we offer. These trends cause our revenue to be generally higher in the first and second calendar quarters of the year, with revenue peaking as travelers plan and purchase in advance their spring and summer travel. Revenue typically declines in the third and fourth quarters of the calendar year. Our results may also be affected by seasonal fluctuations in the inventory made available to us by our travel suppliers.
 
Foreign Exchange Movements: We transact business primarily in US dollars. While the majority of our revenue is denominated in US dollars, a portion of costs are denominated in other currencies (principally, the British pound, Euro and Australian dollar). We use foreign currency forward contracts to manage our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with our foreign currency denominated receivables and payables and forecasted earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The fluctuations in the value of these forward contracts largely offset the impact of changes in the value of the underlying risk they are intended to economically hedge. Nevertheless, our operating results are impacted to a certain extent by movements in the underlying exchange rates between those currencies listed above.
 
Restructuring: Historically, we have taken a number of actions to enhance organizational efficiency and consolidate and rationalize existing processes. These actions include, among others, the migration of the Galileo data center, formerly located in Denver, Colorado, into the Worldspan data center, located in Atlanta, Georgia; consolidating certain administrative and support functions of Galileo and Worldspan, including accounting, sales and marketing and human resources functions; and the renegotiation of several material vendor contracts. The most significant impact of these initiatives was the elimination of redundant staff positions and reduced technology costs associated with renegotiated vendor contracts. As a result, our results of operations have been impacted by these actions.

Cost of Revenue
 
Cost of revenue is comprised of:
 
                                 
    Three Months

Cost of revenue
    313       279       34       12  
                                 
 
Cost of revenue increased by $34 million (12%) as a result of a $24 million (11%) increase in commissions paid to travel agencies and NDCs and a $10 million (15%) increase in telecommunication and technology costs. The increase in commission costs is due to the 3% growth in segment volume and an increase in the average rate of agency commissions.
 
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A)
 
SG&A increased by $10 million (13%) to $89 million as a result of $9 million incremental salaries and wages due to the re-introduction of the management incentive plan and $9 million increase in costs as a result of unrealized losses on foreign exchange derivatives. These costs were partially offset by a $4 million reduction in corporate transaction costs and $4 million favorable impact from lower effective exchange rates for our costs incurred in foreign currency.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization increased by $1 million (2%) due to incremental depreciation on property and equipment additions.
 
Interest Expense, Net
 
Interest expense, net, increased by $1 million (1%) due to (i) higher interest rates arising from amendments made to our senior secured credit agreement in the fourth quarter of 2010; (ii) a reduction in interest expense resulting from the early repayment of $655 million of term loans in May 2011 following the sale of our GTA business; (iii) changes in the fair value of interest rate derivative instruments; and (iv) an increase in debt issuance costs due to the debt restructuring in September 2011.
 
Equity in Earnings of Investment in Orbitz Worldwide
 
Our share of equity in earnings of investment in Orbitz Worldwide was $5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010. These earnings reflect our 48% ownership interest in Orbitz Worldwide.

Our tax provision differs materially from the US Federal statutory rate primarily as a result of (i) being subject to income tax in numerous non-US jurisdictions with varying income tax rates; (ii) a valuation allowance established in the US due to the historical losses with a release of a portion of the valuation allowance in 2010 and 2011 in that jurisdiction; and (iii) certain expenses that are not deductible for tax in the relevant jurisdiction.

Net revenue increased by $26 million (2%) as a result of a $16 million (1%) increase in transaction processing revenue and a $10 million (7%) increase in Airline IT solutions revenue. Americas transaction processing revenue increased by $1 million due to a 2% decline in the average revenue per segment offset by a 2% increase in segment volume. Europe transaction processing revenue increased by $12 million (3%) due to a 2% increase in the average revenue per segment and a 1% increase in segment volume. APAC transaction processing revenue increased by $15 million (7%), due to a 4% increase in segment volume and a 3% increase in the average revenue per segment. MEA transaction processing revenue decreased by $12 million (6%), due to a 3% decrease in segment volume, a 1% increase in average revenue per segment and an $8 million adjustment related to revenue reserves booked in the first quarter of 2011.

Cost of revenue increased by $73 million (8%) as a result of a $61 million (9%) increase in commissions paid to travel agencies and NDCs and a $12 million (6%) increase in telecommunication and technology costs. The increase in commission costs is primarily due to an increase in the average rate of agency commissions.
 
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A)
 
SG&A costs decreased by $26 million (9%) including a $23 million reduction in corporate transaction costs incurred in relation to a proposed offering of securities in 2010. SG&A costs for 2011 include approximately $29 million of incremental salaries and wages, primarily due to the re-introduction of the management incentive plan, however these costs were offset by lower effective exchange rates for our costs incurred in foreign currency and the favorable impact of effective cost management.
 
Restructuring Charges
 
Restructuring charges remained flat at $4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, these costs relate to the strategic initiatives undertaken during the fourth quarter of 2010 to consolidate and rationalize certain of our centralized functions and existing processes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, restructuring charges primarily relate to exiting a lease arrangement in the US as a result of relocation.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization increased by $12 million (8%) primarily due to increased depreciation following a significant purchase of new software and equipment in March 2010 and increased depreciation on fixed assets additions.

Interest Expense, Net
 
Interest expense, net, increased by $21 million (10%) due to (i) higher interest rates, arising from amendments made to our senior secured credit agreement in the fourth quarter of 2010; (ii) accelerated amortization of debt finance costs partially offset by a reduction in interest expense, resulting from the early repayment of $655 million of term loans in May 2011 following the sale of our GTA business; (iii) changes in the fair value of interest rate derivative instruments; and (iv) an increase in debt issuance costs due to the debt restructuring in September 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our principal source of operating liquidity is cash flows generated from operations, including working capital. We maintain what we consider to be an appropriate level of liquidity through several sources, including maintaining appropriate levels of cash, access to funding sources, a committed credit facility and other committed and uncommitted lines of credit. As of September 30, 2011, our financing needs were supported by full availability under our $270 million revolving credit facility. On October 6, 2011, we entered into a revolving credit loan modification agreement related to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, pursuant to which the availability under our revolving credit facility reduced to $181 million. Furthermore, as a result of this agreement, among other things, (i) the maturity date for $118 million of the facility was extended to August 23, 2013; (ii) the interest rate on such extended revolving loans increased from LIBOR plus 2.75% to LIBOR plus 4.50%; and (iii) the commitment fee on such extended revolving loans increased from 50 basis points to 300 basis points. In the event additional funding is required, there can be no assurance that further funding will be available on terms favorable to us or at all for these incremental term loan facilities.
 
Our principal uses of cash are to fund planned operating expenditures, capital expenditures, interest payments on debt and any mandatory or discretionary principal payments or repurchases of debt. As a result our cash and cash equivalents at period end, our ability to generate cash from operations over the course of a year and through access to our revolving credit facility and other lending sources, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet our ongoing needs for at least the next twelve months. If our cash flows from operations are less than we expect or we require funds to consummate acquisitions of other businesses, assets,

products or technologies, we may need to sell or monetize certain existing assets or utilize our cash or cash equivalents. Alternatively, we may be able to offset any potential shortfall in cash flows from operations in 2011 by taking cost reduction measures or reducing capital expenditures from existing levels.
 
On September 30, 2011, we amended our existing senior secured credit agreement pursuant to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (further discussed below under Debt and Financing Arrangements), which among other things, (i) amended our total leverage ratio test; (ii) added a first lien leverage ratio test; and (iii) established a minimum liquidity covenant, requiring us to maintain a minimum cash balance of $75 million at the end of every fiscal quarter. As of September 30, 2011, our total leverage ratio was 6.86 compared to the maximum leverage ratio allowable of 8.0; our first lien leverage ratio was 3.60 compared to the maximum first lien leverage ratio allowable of 4.0; our cash balance was $90 million; and we were in compliance with all financial covenants related to long-term debt. Under the terms of our Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the maximum total leverage ratio with which we need to comply will remain at 8.0 until June 30, 2013, and the first lien leverage ratio with which we need to comply will remain at 4.0 until June 30, 2013. With respect to such leverage ratios and based on our current financial forecast, we believe we will continue to be in compliance with, or be able to avoid an event of default under, the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the indentures governing our notes and meet our cash flow needs during the next twelve months. In the event of an unanticipated significant adverse variance compared to the financial forecast, we have the opportunity to take certain mitigating actions, such as reducing or deferring certain discretionary expenditures or selling assets.
 
The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was entered into in connection with the successful completion of the restructuring (“the “Restructuring”) of our direct parent holding company’s, Travelport Holdings Limited (“Holdings”), senior unsecured PIK term loans. On October 3, 2011, Holdings exchanged its second lien term loans as consideration to purchase $207.6 million of its unsecured PIK term loans at par. We also distributed $89.5 million in cash to Holdings as part of the Restructuring, of which $85 million was used to repurchase Holdings unsecured PIK term loans with the remainder used to pay financing fees. In addition, as part of the Restructuring, the maturity date on the remaining outstanding PIK terms loans of Holdings was extended from March 2012 to December 2016.
 
On May 5, 2011, we completed the sale of our GTA business. Proceeds from the sale, together with existing cash, were used to make a $655 million early repayment of indebtedness outstanding under our credit agreement. As a result of these transactions, our net debt has reduced, and we expect a reduction in the cash required to fund interest payments during the remainder of 2011 and beyond. Additionally, the remaining capacity under our synthetic letter of credit facility has increased as a result of the release of letters of credit issued by us on behalf of the GTA business.
 
We believe an important measure of our liquidity is unlevered free cash flow. This measure is a useful indicator of our ability to generate cash to meet our liquidity demands. We believe unlevered free cash flow provides investors a better understanding of how assets are performing and measures management’s effectiveness in managing cash. We define unlevered free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations, adjusted to remove the impact of interest payments and to deduct capital expenditures on property and equipment additions. We believe this measure gives management and investors a better understanding of the cash flows generated by our underlying business, as our interest payments are primarily related to the debt assumed from previous business acquisitions while our capital expenditures are primarily related to the development of our operating platforms.
 
In addition, we present Travelport Adjusted EBITDA as a liquidity measure as we believe it is a useful measure to our investors to assess our ability to comply with certain debt covenants, including our maximum leverage ratios. Our total leverage ratio under our Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is computed by dividing the total debt (as defined under our Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) at the balance sheet date by a number which is broadly computed from the last twelve months of Travelport Adjusted EBITDA. Our first lien leverage ratio under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is computed by dividing the total first lien loans (as defined under our Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) as of the balance sheet date by a number which is broadly computed from the last twelve months of Travelport Adjusted EBITDA.

As of September 30, 2011, we had $90 million of cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $152 million compared to December 31, 2010. The following discussion summarizes changes to our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
Operating activities of continuing operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $86 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations of $103 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease of $17 million is primarily due to a $29 million decline in Travelport Adjusted EBITDA, $40 million of incremental interest payments and $13 million of defined benefit pension plan funding, partially offset by a $46 million improvement in operating working capital, an $8 million reduction in other non-operating and adjusting items and a $9 million reduction in tax payments.
 
Operating activities of discontinued operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, cash used in operating activities of the GTA business was $12 million, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $151 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The operating activities of the GTA business for 2011 reflect its activities through May 5, 2011, the date of disposal of the business.

Investing activities. The cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $578 million. This was primarily due to $628 million of net cash received from the sale of the GTA business, less $55 million of cash used for capital expenditures. The use of cash in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $220 million, primarily due to $159 million of cash outflow for capital expenditures, including amounts related to the software license from IBM, $50 million of additional investment in Orbitz Worldwide and $16 million for business acquisitions. Capital expenditures include $5 million and $6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, related to our disposed GTA business.
 
Financing activities. Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 comprised $655 million term loan repayments primarily from sale proceeds of the GTA business, $3 million mandatory term loan repayments, $11 million capital lease payments, $84 million of debt finance costs associated with the Restructuring and $89 million of capital distribution to our parent, offset by $33 million cash received on settlement of derivative contracts. The cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $13 million and primarily consisted of $380 million proceeds from new borrowings, offset by $295 million of repayments, $64 million of cash paid on settlement of derivative contracts and $5 million of debt finance costs.

On September 30, 2011, we amended our existing credit facility pursuant to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, among other things: (i) allows for new second lien term loans secured on a second priority basis as described further below; (ii) adds a minimum liquidity covenant to be effective under certain conditions; (iii) increases our restricted payment capacity; (iv) limits the general basket for investments to $20 million; (v) provides for our payment of a consent fee to various lenders; (vi) requires us to purchase and retire up to $20 million of our senior notes under certain conditions for each of the next two years; and (vii) amends our total leverage ratio test, which is initially set at 8.0 until June 30, 2013, and adds a first lien leverage ratio test, which is initially set at 4.0 until June 30, 2013.
 
On October 6, 2011, we entered into a revolving credit loan modification agreement relating to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, pursuant to which the availability under our revolving credit facility reduced from $270 million to $181 million. Furthermore, as a result of this agreement, among other things: (i) the maturity date for $118 million of the revolving credit facility was extended to August 23, 2013; (ii) the interest rate on such extended revolving loans increased from LIBOR plus 2.75% to LIBOR plus 4.50%; and (iii) the commitment fee on such extended revolving loans increased from 50 basis points to 300 basis points.
 
On September 30, 2011, we entered into the Second Lien Credit Agreement which, among other things: (i) allows for new term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $342.5 million; (ii) has a maturity date of December 1, 2016; (iii) carries an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 6%, payable in cash (only when permitted by the terms of the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) or payment-in-kind interest on a

cumulative quarterly basis; (iv) is guaranteed, on a secured second priority basis, by the same entities that guarantee the obligations under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement; (v) has substantially the same covenants and events of default as under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement; and (vi) may, under certain conditions, be converted into newly issued private-for-life bonds to be governed by an indenture that contains substantially the same covenants, events of default and remedies as the Second Lien Credit Agreement.
 
On September 30, 2011, we issued $207.5 million of term loans under the Second Lien Credit Agreement, which we then distributed to Holdings. On October 3, 2011, Holdings exchanged its second lien term loan as consideration to purchase $207.6 million of its unsecured PIK term loans at par.
 
In May 2011, proceeds from the sale of the GTA business, together with existing cash, were used to make a $655 million early repayment of term loans under our senior secured credit agreement, consisting of $19 million of euro denominated term loans due August 2013, $135 million of euro denominated term loans due August 2015, $51 million of dollar denominated term loans due August 2013 and $450 million of dollar denominated term loans due August 2015. Due to these early repayments, we are no longer required to repay quarterly installments equal to 1% per annum of the original funded principal amount.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we repaid approximately $3 million of our dollar denominated debt as quarterly installments under our senior secured credit agreement and approximately $11 million under our capital lease obligations. Furthermore, during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we entered into $16 million of capital leases for information technology assets.
 
The principal amount of our euro denominated long-term debt increased by approximately $15 million as a result of foreign exchange fluctuations during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This foreign exchange loss was fully offset by gains on foreign exchange hedge instruments contracted by us.
 
As of September 30, 2011, we had approximately $10 million of commitments outstanding under our synthetic letter of credit facility and $99 million of commitments outstanding under our cash collateralized letter of credit facility. The commitments under these two facilities included approximately $75 million in letters of credit issued by us on behalf of Orbitz Worldwide. As of September 30, 2011, the cash collateralized letter of credit facility was collateralized by $137 million of restricted cash, providing a letter of credit commitment capacity of $133 million. As of September 30, 2011, there was $3 million of remaining capacity under our synthetic letter of credit facility and $34 million of remaining capacity under our cash collateralized facility.
 
Travelport LLC, our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, is the borrower (the “Borrower”) under our Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. All obligations under our Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and senior notes and senior subordinated notes are unconditionally guaranteed by us, as parent guarantor, Waltonville Limited and TDS Investor (Luxembourg) S.à.r.l., as intermediate parent guarantors, and, subject to certain exceptions, each of our existing and future domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries. All obligations under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all the following assets of the Borrower and each guarantor, subject to certain exceptions: (i) a pledge of 100% of the capital stock of the Borrower, 100% of the capital stock of each guarantor and 65% of the capital stock of each of our wholly-owned non-US subsidiaries that are directly owned by us or one of the guarantors; and (ii) a security interest in, and mortgages on, substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the Borrower and each guarantor.
 
Borrowings under the credit facilities are subject to amortization and prepayment requirements, and the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains various covenants, including leverage ratios, events of default and other provisions.
 
Total debt per our Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is broadly defined as total debt excluding the collateralized portion of the “Tranche S” term loans, less cash and cash equivalents. Travelport Adjusted EBITDA is defined under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as EBTIDA adjusted to exclude the impact of purchase accounting, impairment of goodwill and intangibles assets, expenses incurred in conjunction with Travelport’s separation from Cendant, expenses incurred to acquire and integrate

Foreign Currency and Interest Rate Risk
 
A portion of the debt used to finance much of our operations is exposed to interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We use various hedging strategies and derivative financial instruments to create an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate debt and to manage our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with our euro denominated debt. The primary interest rate exposure during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was to interest rate fluctuations in the United States and Europe, specifically USLIBOR and EURIBOR interest rates. We currently use interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contacts as the derivative instruments in these hedging strategies.
 
We also use foreign currency forward contracts to manage our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with our foreign currency denominated receivables and payables and forecasted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. We primarily enter into foreign currency forward contracts to manage our foreign currency exposure to the British pound, Euro and Australian dollar.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, none of the derivative financial instruments used to manage our interest rate and foreign currency exposures were designated as cash flow hedges, although during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, certain of our derivative financial instruments were designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The fluctuations in the fair value of foreign currency derivative financial instruments not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, along with the ineffective portion of fluctuations in the fair value of such instruments designated as hedges, are recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated condensed statements of operations. (Losses) gains on these foreign currency derivative financial instruments amounted to $(64) million and $95 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $17 million and $(34) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The fluctuations in the fair value of interest rate derivative financial instruments not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, along with the ineffective portion of fluctuations in the fair value of such instruments designated as hedges, are recorded as a component of interest expense, net, in our consolidated condensed statements of operations. Gains (losses) on these interest rate derivative financial instruments amounted to $2 million and $(10) million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively and $(9) million and $(26) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The fluctuations in the fair values of our derivative financial instruments which have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes largely offset the impact of the changes in the value of the underlying risks they are intended to economically hedge. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded the effective portion of designated cash flow hedges in other comprehensive income (loss).
 
As of September 30, 2011, our interest rate and foreign currency hedges cover transactions for periods that do not exceed three years. As of September 30, 2011, we had a net liability position of $29 million related to derivative instruments associated with our euro denominated and floating rate debt, our foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, and forecasted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
We assess our market risk based on changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis that measures the potential impact in earnings, fair values, and cash flows based on a hypothetical 10% change (increase and decrease) in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We used September 30, 2011 market rates to perform a sensitivity analysis separately for each of our market risk exposures. The estimates assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate yield curves and exchange rates. We have determined, through such analyses, that the impact of a 10% change in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates on our earnings, fair values and cash flows would not be material. There have been no material changes in our exposure to market risks from what was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011.
 
Item 4.   Controls and Procedures
 
  (a)      Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods and accumulated and communicated to management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Our management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Act, for the period ended September 30, 2011. Based on the evaluation performed, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
 
  (b)      Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.   Legal Proceedings.
 
On April 12, 2011, American Airlines filed suit against the Company and Orbitz Worldwide in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. American Airlines subsequently amended its complaint and added Sabre as a defendant on June 9, 2011. American Airlines is alleging violations of US federal antitrust laws and Texas state law based on the ways in which Travelport operates its GDS and the terms of Travelport’s contracts with suppliers and subscribers, including Orbitz Worldwide. The suit seeks injunctive relief and damages in an unspecified amount. On October 20, 2011, American Airlines requested leave of the court to amend its complaint a second time to add additional antitrust claims against Travelport and the other defendants and to drop the Texas state law claims. We believe American Airlines’ claims in both the existing and proposed complaints are without merit, and we intend to defend the claims vigorously. While no assurance can be provided, we do not believe the outcome of this dispute will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or liquidity condition.
 
On May 19, 2011, the Company received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”), which seeks Travelport documents and data in connection with an investigation into whether there have been “horizontal and vertical restraints of trade by global distribution systems.” The investigation is ongoing, and Travelport is in the process of complying with the CID and cooperating with the DOJ in its investigation.
 
Other than as set forth above, there are no material changes from the description of our legal proceedings disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011.
 
Item 1A.   Risk Factors.
 
Trends in pricing and other terms of agreements among airlines and travel agencies have become less favorable to us, and a further deterioration may occur in the future which could reduce our revenue and margins.
 
A significant portion of our revenue is derived from fees paid by airlines for bookings made through our GDS. Airlines have sought to reduce or eliminate these fees in an effort to reduce distribution costs. One manner in which they have done so is to differentiate the content, in this case, the fares and inventory, that they provide to us and to our GDS competitors from the content that they distribute directly themselves. In these cases, airlines provide some of their content to GDS, while withholding other content, such as lower cost web fares, for distribution via their own supplier.com websites unless the GDS agree to participate in a cost reduction program. Certain airlines have also threatened to withdraw content, in whole or in part, from individual GDS as a means of obtaining lower booking fees or, alternatively, to charge GDS to access their lower cost web fares. Airlines also have aggressively expanded their use of the direct online distribution model for tickets in the United States and in Europe in the last ten years, with such ticket sales generating more than 30% of revenue for airlines in the United States in 2008, compared to less than 3% of revenue in 1999. There also has been an increase in the number of airlines which have introduced unbundled, “à la carte” sales and optional services, such as fees for checked baggage or premium seats, which threaten to further fragment content and disadvantage GDS by making it more difficult to deliver a platform that allows travel agencies to shop for a single, “all-inclusive” price for travel.
 
We have entered into full-content agreements with most major carriers in the Americas and Europe, and a growing number of carriers in the Middle East and Africa, which provides us with access to the full scope of fares and inventory which the carriers make available through direct channels, such as their own supplier.com websites, with a contract duration usually ranging from three to seven years. In addition, we have entered into agreements with most major carriers in the Asia Pacific Region which provide us with access to varying levels of their content. We may not be able to renew these agreements on a commercially reasonable basis or at all. If we are unable to renew these agreements, we may be disadvantaged compared to our competitors, and our financial results could be adversely impacted. The full-content agreements have required us to make


48


Table of Contents

significant price concessions to the participating airlines. If we are required to make additional concessions to renew or extend the agreements, it could result in an increase in our distribution expenses and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Moreover, as existing full-content agreements come up for renewal, there is no guarantee that the participating airlines will continue to provide their content to us to the same extent or on the same terms as they do now. For example, our contracts with two of the largest U.S. travel suppliers, US Airways and American Airlines, representing approximately 8% of transaction processing revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010, were up for renewal in 2011. On July 29, 2011, we and American Airlines announced that the existing full content agreements between American and our GDS, Apollo, Galileo and Worldspan, have been extended concurrently and are no longer due to expire in 2011. On August 28, 2011, we announced that our existing content agreement with US Airways will continue well into 2012. In addition, certain full-content agreements may be terminated earlier pursuant to the specific terms of each agreement. A substantial reduction in the amount of content received from the participating airlines or changes in pricing options could also negatively affect our revenue and financial condition. Equally, the removal of the discounts presently provided to these carriers under these agreements could also positively affect our revenue and financial condition.
 
In addition, GDSs have implemented, in some countries, an alternative business and financial model, generally referred to as the “opt-in” model, for travel agencies. Under the “opt-in” model, travel agencies are offered the opportunity to pay a fee to the GDS or to agree to a reduction in the financial incentives to be paid to them by the GDS in order to be assured of having access to full content from participating airlines or to avoid an airline-imposed surcharge on GDS-based bookings. There is pressure on GDS to provide highly competitive terms for such “opt-in” models as many travel agencies are dual automated, subscribing to more than one GDS at any given time. The “opt-in” model has been introduced in a number of situations in parallel with full-content agreements between us and certain airlines to recoup certain fees from travel agencies and to offset some of the discounts provided to airlines in return for guaranteed access to full content. The rate of adoption by travel agencies, where “opt-in” has been implemented, has been very high. If airlines require further discounts in connection with guaranteeing access to full content and in response thereto the “opt-in” model becomes widely adopted, Travelport could receive lower fees from the airlines. These lower fees are likely to be only partially offset by new fees paid by travel agencies and/or reduced inducement payments to travel agencies, which would adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, if travel agencies choose not to opt in, such travel agencies would not receive access to full content without making further payment, which could have an adverse effect on the number of segments booked through our GDS.
 
The level of fees and commissions we pay to travel agencies is subject to continuous competitive pressure as we renew our agreements with them. If we are required to pay higher rates of commissions, it will adversely affect our margins.
 
Travel suppliers are seeking alternative distribution models, including those involving direct access to travelers, which may adversely affect our results of operations.
 
Travel suppliers are seeking to decrease their reliance on third-party distributors, including GDS, for distribution of their content. For example, some travel suppliers have created or expanded efforts to establish commercial relationships with online and traditional travel agencies to book travel with those suppliers directly, rather than through a GDS. Many airlines, hotels, car rental companies and cruise operators have also established or improved their own supplier.com websites, and may offer incentives such as bonus miles or loyalty points, lower or no transaction or processing fees, priority waitlist clearance or e-ticketing for sales through these channels. In addition, metasearch travel websites facilitate access to supplier.com websites by aggregating the content of those websites. Due to the combined impact of direct bookings with the airlines, supplier.com websites and other non-GDS distribution channels, the percentage of bookings made without the use of a GDS at any stage in the chain between suppliers and end-customers, which we estimate was approximately 58% in 2010, may continue to increase. In this regard, American Airlines terminated certain agreements with Orbitz Worldwide in November 2010, in pursuit of a direct connect relationship with American Airlines rather than Orbitz Worldwide making bookings through our GDS. Although the agreements were subsequently extended and are no longer due to expire in 2011, legal action on the matter continues. In

addition, efforts by other major airlines to encourage our subscribers to book directly rather than through our GDS will adversely affect our results of operations.
 
Furthermore, recent trends towards disintermediation in the global travel industry could adversely affect our GDS business. For example, airlines have made some of their offerings unavailable to unrelated distributors, or made them available only in exchange for lower distribution fees. Some low cost carriers distribute exclusively through direct channels, bypassing GDS and other third-party distributors completely and, as a whole, have increased their share of bookings in recent years, particularly in short-haul travel. In addition, several travel suppliers have formed joint ventures or alliances that offer multi-supplier travel distribution websites. Finally, some airlines are exploring alternative global distribution methods developed by new entrants to the global distribution marketplace. Such new entrants propose technology that is purported to be less complex than traditional GDS, which they claim enables the distribution of airline tickets in a manner that is more cost-effective to the airline suppliers because no or lower inducement payments are paid to travel agencies. If these trends lead to lower participation by airlines and other travel suppliers in our GDS, then our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
 
In addition, given the diverse and growing number of alternative travel distribution channels, such as supplier.com websites and direct connect channels between travel suppliers and travel agencies, as well as new technologies that allow travel agencies and consumers to bypass a GDS, increases in travel volumes, particularly air travel, may not translate in the same proportion to increases in volume passing through our GDS, and we may therefore not benefit from a cyclical recovery in the travel industry to a similar extent as other industry participants.
 
We have a substantial level of indebtedness which may have an adverse impact on us.
 
We are highly leveraged. As of September 30, 2011, our total indebtedness was $3,384 million. We currently have an additional $181 million available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility and the ability to increase commitments under our revolving credit facility or to add incremental term loans by up to an additional $350 million. In addition, we currently maintain a $133 million letter of credit facility collateralized by $137 million of restricted cash, and a $13 million synthetic letter of credit facility. As of September 30, 2011, we had approximately $10 million of commitments outstanding under our synthetic letter of credit facility and $99 million of commitments outstanding under our cash collateralized letter of credit facility. Pursuant to our separation agreement with Orbitz Worldwide, we maintain letters of credit under our letter of credit facilities on behalf of Orbitz Worldwide. As of September 30, 2011, we had commitments of approximately $37 million in letters of credit outstanding on behalf of Orbitz Worldwide.
 
Our substantial level of indebtedness could have important consequences for us, including the following:
 
  •  requiring a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, therefore reducing our ability to use our cash flow to fund our capital expenditure and future business opportunities;
 
  •  exposing us to the risk of higher interest rates because certain of our borrowings, including borrowings under our senior secured credit agreement and our senior notes due 2014, are at variable rates of interest;
 
  •  restricting us from making strategic acquisitions or causing us to make non-strategic divestitures;
 
  •  limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for acquisitions or other strategic purposes;
 
  •  limiting our ability to adjust to changing market conditions and placing us at a competitive disadvantage to our less highly leveraged competitors; and
 
  •  making us more vulnerable to general economic downturns and adverse developments in our businesses.
 
In addition to our substantial level of indebtedness discussed above, on October 3, 2011, in connection with the completion of the Restructuring with respect to our direct parent holding company, Travelport

Holdings Limited (“Holdings”), senior unsecured payment-in-kind (“PIK”) term loans due March 27, 2012, Holdings entered into an amended and restated credit agreement in respect of the PIK term loans (the “Holding Company Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, UBS Securities LLC and Lehman Commercial Paper Inc., as co-syndication agents, and certain lenders from time to time party thereto. As of September 30, 2011, approximately $715 million of the PIK term loans remained outstanding. As of October 3, 2011, after giving effect to the transactions in connection with the Restructuring, approximately $422.9 million of the PIK term loans remained outstanding under the Holding Company Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Holding Company Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the maturity date of a $135 million tranche (the “Tranche A Extended PIK Loans”) of the $422.9 million outstanding amount of the PIK term loans was extended to September 30, 2012; however, if certain conditions and events do not occur by such date, the maturity date of the Tranche A Extended PIK Loans will be automatically extended to December 1, 2016, as set forth in Holding Company Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The remaining $287.9 million tranche (the “Tranche B Extended PIK Loans”) was extended to December 1, 2016. Interest on the Tranche A Extended PIK Loans and Tranche B Extended PIK Loans is capitalized quarterly in arrears at a rate currently at LIBOR plus 6% and LIBOR plus 13.5%, respectively. Interest is paid-in-kind unless Holdings elects to pay the interest in cash, provided that any such cash payment is permitted under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
 
Holdings is a holding company with no direct operations. Its principal assets are the direct and indirect equity interests it holds in its subsidiaries, including us, and all of its operations are conducted through us and our subsidiaries. As a result, Holdings may be dependent upon dividends or distributions and other payments from us to generate the funds necessary to meet its outstanding debt service and other obligations under the Holding Company Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. If Holdings is unable to repay amounts outstanding under the Holding Company Amended and Restated Credit Agreement when they become due, Holdings’ failure to pay such amounts would not be a default under our existing credit agreements or the indentures governing our notes. However, if Holdings were to restructure or refinance its obligations under the Holding Company Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in a manner that would result in a change of control under the terms of our existing credit agreements and the indentures governing our notes or any future credit facilities and agreements governing our indebtedness as a result of restructuring or refinancing any of our existing indebtedness, or were to take other actions that result in such a change of control, we may be required to repay all amounts outstanding under such agreements governing our indebtedness or make an offer to purchase all outstanding notes at a price and under the terms and conditions specified under indentures governing such notes. We may not have the ability to repay such amounts and make such note purchases, which would result in a default under our credit facilities or any agreements governing our indebtedness
 
The above factors could limit our financial and operational flexibility, and as a result could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We are effectively controlled by The Blackstone Group L.P., our Sponsor, and certain actions by us require the approval of our New Shareholders, each of which may result in conflicts of interest with us or the holders of our bonds in the future.
 
Investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsor together are the largest beneficial owner of the outstanding voting shares of our ultimate parent company. As a result of this ownership, the Sponsor is entitled to elect the majority of our directors, to appoint new management and to approve actions requiring the approval of the holders of its outstanding voting shares as a single class, subject to the approval of the New Shareholders for certain actions, including adopting most amendments to our bye-laws and approving or rejecting proposed mergers or sales of all or substantially all of our assets, regardless of whether noteholders believe that any such transactions are in their own best interests. Through its effective control of our ultimate parent company, the Sponsor will effectively control us and all of our subsidiaries.
 
The Shareholders’ Agreement, dated as of October 3, 2011, among us, the New Shareholders, certain investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsor and others, also provides the New Shareholders with certain rights with respect to our governance. The Shareholders’ Agreement entitles the New


51


Table of Contents

Shareholders to designate two of our directors and also requires the approval of the New Shareholders before we can undertake certain actions, including certain issuances of equity securities, change of control transactions and certain amendments to our bye-laws.
 
The interests of the Sponsor and the New Shareholders may differ from those of our noteholders in material respects. For example, if we encounter financial difficulties or are unable to pay our debts as they mature, the interests of the Sponsor and its affiliates and the New Shareholders, as equity holders, might conflict with the interests of our noteholders. The Sponsor and its affiliates or some of the New Shareholders may also have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, financings or other transactions that, in their judgment, could enhance their equity investments, even though such transactions might involve risks to our noteholders. Additionally, the indentures governing the notes permit us to pay advisory fees, dividends or make other restricted payments under certain circumstances, and the Sponsor or a New Shareholder may have an interest in our doing so.
 
The Sponsor and its affiliates and many of the New Shareholders are in the business of making investments in companies, and may from time to time in the future, acquire interests in businesses that directly or indirectly compete with certain portions of our business or are suppliers or customers of ours. The Sponsor or one or more of the New Shareholders may also pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us. So long as investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsor continue to indirectly own a significant amount of the outstanding shares of our common stock, even if such amount is less than 50%, the Sponsor will continue to be able to strongly influence or effectively control our decisions.
 
See Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, filed with the SEC on August 9, 2011, for a detailed discussion of the risk factors affecting our Company. Other than as set forth above, there are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.
 
Item 2.   Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
 
Not Applicable.
 
Item 3.   Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
 
Not Applicable.
 
Item 4.   Removed and Reserved.
 
Item 5.   Other Information.
 
In September 2011, we received letters from Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP as counsel to certain holders of our outstanding senior notes making certain assertions alleging potential events of default under the Indentures related to the Restructuring. We disagree with the assertions in the letters, and we believe that we are in full compliance with the provisions of the Indentures for the senior notes.
 
On October 28, 2011, pursuant to the terms of the Restructuring, we filed a complaint for declaratory judgment against The Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Company of New York, as trustee under the Indentures governing our notes, in United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and we filed an amended complaint on November 3, 2011. In this declaratory judgment action, we are seeking a ruling from the court that the investment of $135 million in a newly-created unrestricted subsidiary is permissible under the terms of the Indentures and, therefore, not an event of default under the Indentures as alleged in the letters referenced above. In the event we do not receive a declaratory judgment ruling that the investment in the unrestricted subsidiary is permitted, the investment will not be made.
