TeleTech Announces Increased Authorization for Share Repurchases

$50 Million Added to Current Repurchase Program

 

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Dec. 6, 2010 — TeleTech Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEC), one of the world’s largest global providers of comprehensive enterprise solutions that maximize revenue, transform customer experiences and optimize business processes, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved an increase of $50 million in the funding available for share repurchases.

 

This increased authorization brings the total amount available for repurchase to approximately $77 million from the $27 million that was still available for share repurchases as of September 30, 2010 under the previous authorization approved by the Board in August 2010.

 

During the first nine months of the year, TeleTech repurchased 3.2 million shares of common stock for approximately $48 million.

 

“The Board’s decision to further increase our share repurchase program demonstrates its confidence in the company’s long-term growth prospects and its ability to deliver transformative solutions that differentiate the service experience for its clients,” said Kenneth Tuchman, chairman and chief executive officer.  “TeleTech’s strong cash flow from operations, positive net cash position and solid balance sheet has enabled us to repurchase our stock while also continuing to invest in strategic growth initiatives.”

 

The stock repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and the pace of repurchase activity will depend on factors such as levels of cash generation from operations, current stock price and other factors.
