Travelport, controlled by Elliott Management Corp. and Siris Capital Group, is offering to unwind a controversial asset move, but only if lenders agree to take a hit.

The owners of the global bookings operator told lenders over the weekend they could undo a move that shifted valuable intellectual property away from creditors’ reach if they are willing to compromise on a debt exchange, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
