Item 5.07

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

The information set forth under Item 8.01 below is incorporated by reference.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On March 19, 2015, our Board of Directors resolved to (i) set June 11, 2015 as the date for the Company’s 2015 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) at a time and location to be determined and specified in the Company’s proxy statement related to the Annual Meeting and (ii) set the record date for the Annual Meeting to be the close of business on Friday, April 17, 2015.

 

Because the date of the Annual Meeting is more than 30 days before the anniversary date of last year’s annual general meeting of shareholders (which took place by written resolution in lieu of such annual general meeting prior to the Company’s initial public offering), pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules, including Rule 14a-5(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company has set the deadline for submission of proposals to be included in its proxy materials for the Annual Meeting as of the close of business on April 10, 2015. Therefore, in order for a shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the Annual Meeting, the proposal must be received by the Company at its principal executive office (Travelport Worldwide Limited, Attention: General Counsel or Secretary, Axis One, Axis Park, Langley, Berkshire, United Kingdom SL3 8AG) by the close of business on April 10, 2015 and must comply with the procedures and requirements as set forth in Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

 

In accordance with the advance notice requirements contained in the Company’s amended and restated bye-laws applicable for an annual general meeting of shareholders that is more than 30 days before the anniversary date of the prior year’s annual general meeting of shareholders, in order for director nominations or other business to be brought before the Annual Meeting by a shareholder, other than Rule 14a-8 proposals described above, written notice must be delivered to the Company’s principal executive office (Travelport Worldwide Limited, Attention: General Counsel or Secretary, Axis One, Axis Park, Langley, Berkshire, United Kingdom SL3 8AG) by the close of business on April 10, 2015. These shareholder notices also must comply with all additional procedures and requirements of the Company’s amended and restated bye-laws and will not be effective otherwise.

 

A copy of the press release issued by the Company is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
