SOUTHLAKE, TX, June 15, 2006. SynXis, the Sabre Holdings (NYSE:TSG) business that provides reservation management, distribution and technology services for hotels around the world, announced today they are releasing for customer use the newest version of their RedXTM Distribution Management System used by thousands of hotels around the world.

SynXis designed the RedXTM 5.0 release based on customer feedback and usability testing that has been gathered and conducted over the past year. Many features have been added or redesigned to meet the needs of SynXis' growing customer base enabling these hotels to compete even more effectively in the complex world of hotel distribution. RedXTM users will benefit from quicker and easier navigation, more efficient revenue management capabilities and faster system response times. At the same time they are launching the new functionally, to accommodate future growth, SynXis is adding a significant amount of hardware, nearly doubling the size of its infrastructure for its web-based applications.

"SynXis gives its customers many ways to provide feedback on their products and services including an advisory council and user sessions during their annual Customer Forum," commented Trevor Stuart-Hill, Vice President of Revenue Services at Destination Hotels and Resorts, a longtime SynXis customer. "This new release is clearly a result of SynXis addressing the needs of their customers. We continue to be impressed by their drive to remain the innovators in CRS technology."

In the past 12 months SynXis has added over 700 properties to their customer base, bringing the total number of hotels using a SynXis platform to 7,800, making SynXis the second largest provider of reservation distribution management products and services. SynXis transactions have grown over 30% since last year.

Kelly Inns, a management and consulting company that owns and operates first-class hotels in the Midwest, is one of the hotel groups that has recently switched to SynXis. "Our goal was to find a distribution partner that could help our non-branded hotels compete on the same playing field as the brands," commented Dave Wollman, Regional Director of Kelly Inns Ltd. "Their implementation team got us off to a great start and we have already seen the results from their many years of experience in this industry."

"We have had a remarkable year at SynXis and our 5.0 release signifies another great milestone for the company," said Scott Brodows, Chief Operating Officer at SynXis. "Our sales, operations and technology team remain as focused as ever on meeting the needs of our customers, and we look forward to advancing relationships with both existing and new customers going forward."
