1. Overview and Basis of Presentation
Overview
     References in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to “the Company,” “we,” and “our” are to SITEL Worldwide Corporation and its subsidiaries, collectively.
     The Company is a majority-owned subsidiary of Onex Corporation (“Onex”) and is one of the world’s largest and most diversified providers of customer care outsourcing services. The Company offers its clients a wide array of services, including customer service, technical support, and customer acquisition, retention, and revenue generation services. The majority of our customer care services are inbound and delivered telephonically, but we are increasingly asked to provide services through other communication channels, including email, online chat, web, and interactive voice response. The Company serves a broad range of industry end-markets, including wireless, telecommunications, technology, financial services, retail and consumer products, media and entertainment, energy and utilities, travel and transportation, internet service providers, insurance, and healthcare.
     We are organized geographically and have two reporting segments: (1) “EMEA,” which refers to Europe, the Middle East, and Africa and (2) “Americas,” which refers to North America, Latin America, and Asia Pacific. Each reporting segment performs substantially the same services for clients.
Basis of Presentation
     The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for each period shown. All adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The December 31, 2010 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from the Company’s year-end audited Consolidated Financial Statements as presented in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (333-172952) filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and declared effective by the SEC on March 28, 2011, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The Company’s interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or operating results for an entire year. The accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto. Certain of our accounting policies are considered critical, due to the level of subjectivity and judgment necessary in applying these policies and because the impact of these estimates and assumptions on our financial condition and operating performance may be material. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments in these areas based on historic experience and other relevant factors. The estimates as of the date of the financial statements reflect our best judgment giving consideration to all currently available facts and circumstances. We believe our estimates and judgments are reasonable, however, actual results and the timing of the recognition of such amounts could differ from those estimates.
     We have used methodologies that are consistent from year to year in all material respects. For details concerning these critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (333-172952) filed with the SEC and declared effective by the SEC on March 28, 2011. Any deviation from these policies or estimates could have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

4. Restructuring and Exit Activities
     The Company continues to evaluate and assess its operations. This results in restructuring activities to rationalize facility and labor costs, further streamline the Company’s operations in order to align resources to support growth, and to shift the geographic mix of some of the Company’s resources. Reduced volumes stemming from the recent global economic downturn have also resulted in further workforce reductions and site closures. Total expected costs relating to restructuring activities initiated in 2011 are $12,678. The restructuring activities initiated in 2011 are expected to be completed by the end of 2011. For activities initiated in 2011, the remaining accrual of $3,662 related to severance is expected to be paid by the end of 2011, and the remaining accrual for facility exit costs of $748 is expected to be paid during the remainder of the current fiscal year through 2016 as the related leases expire. Restructuring activities initiated in 2010 were completed as of December 31, 2010, and the costs incurred to date are equal to the total expected costs for the 2010 activities. For restructuring activities initiated in 2010, the remaining accrual for severance-related activities of $7,001 is expected to be paid by the end of 2011, and the remaining accrual for facility exit costs of $4,116 is expected to be paid during the remainder of the current fiscal year through 2016 as the related leases expire.

Senior Notes
     On March 18, 2010, SITEL, LLC and Sitel Finance Corp. (the “Issuers”) issued in a private placement, 11.5% senior notes due 2018 (the “Senior Notes”) having an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 with an original discount of $7,638. The Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and are senior in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness, if any, that is by its terms expressly subordinated to the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are guaranteed by the Company and its domestic subsidiaries and will mature on April 1, 2018. Interest accrues on the Senior Notes at a rate of 11.5% annually, and is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1.
     The Company is not required to make mandatory redemptions or sinking fund payments with respect to the Senior Notes; however, at any time prior to April 1, 2013, the Issuers may, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes issued under the indenture governing the Senior Notes (the “indenture”) (including any additional Senior Notes issued subsequent to the initial offering), subject to certain terms and conditions.
     The indenture contains customary covenants and restrictions on the activities of SITEL, LLC, Sitel Finance Corp. and SITEL, LLC’s restricted subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, the incurrence of additional indebtedness; dividends or distributions in respect of capital stock or certain other restricted payments or investments; entering into agreements that restrict distributions from restricted subsidiaries; the sale or disposal of assets, including capital stock of restricted subsidiaries; transactions with affiliates; the incurrence of liens; and mergers, consolidations or the sale of substantially all of SITEL, LLC’s assets.
     Proceeds from the offering were used to pay down approximately $231,600 of the Company’s senior secured term loans (the “Term Loans”) and $50,000 or 100% of the outstanding balance on the Company’s senior secured revolving credit facilities (the “Revolvers”), both of which are discussed further below.
     As a result of the partial pay down of the Term Loans, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $3,019 during the first quarter of 2010, consisting of fees paid of $2,648 and write off of deferred financing fees of $371. Additionally, there is an original issue discount associated with the Senior Notes of $7,638, and the Company deferred debt issuance costs relating to the Senior Notes of $8,203, both of which are being amortized over the term of the Senior Notes.
Senior Secured Credit Facility
     The Company’s senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) provides for available borrowings in an aggregate amount of $760,000. Components of the Senior Secured Credit Facility are (1) the $675,000 aggregate principal amount Term Loans, including a $550,000 U.S. dollar loan, a €51,447 Euro loan, and a £30,000 British pound sterling loan, and (2) the $85,000 aggregate principal amount Revolvers.
     During the second quarter of 2011, the Senior Secured Credit Facility was amended to, among other things, allow flexibility to refinance or prepay the non-extended portions of the Term Loans prior to the extended portions, and to refinance, extend or replace the Revolvers and Term Loans; increase the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio covenant levels; and decrease the Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio covenant levels. Subsequently, we extended certain tranches of the debt in exchange for paying an increased interest rate, as follows:

British pound sterling term loan
  £ 11,723     LIBOR + 6.75%   January 30, 2017
     The non-extended Term Loans mature in January 2014. All Term Loans amortize in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount with the balance payable at maturity. Payments on the principal amount have exceeded the cumulative amortization schedule, thus no amount is due until maturity. Interest on the non-extended Term Loans is based, at our option, on floating LIBOR plus the applicable margin of 5.5%, or the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the prime rate plus the applicable margin of 4.5%. Interest on the extended portion of the U.S. term loan is based, at our option, on LIBOR plus the applicable margin of 6.75%, or the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the prime rate plus the applicable margin of 5.75%. Interest on the extended portion of the Euro term loan is based on EURIBOR plus the applicable margin of 6.75%. Interest on the extended portion of the British pound sterling term loan is based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin of 6.75%.
     The non-extended Revolvers mature in January 2013. A commitment fee is payable quarterly at 0.50% per annum of the undrawn portion of the Revolvers. Interest on the non-extended Canadian revolver is based on the Banker’s Acceptance Rate plus the applicable margin of 4.5%. Interest on the non-extended U.K. revolver is based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin of 5.5%. Interest on the non-extended U.S. revolver is based on the prime rate plus the applicable margin of 4.5%. Interest on the extended portion of the U.S. revolver is based, at our option, on LIBOR plus the applicable margin of 6.75%, or the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the prime rate plus the applicable margin of 5.75%. Interest on the extended portion of the U.K. revolver is based, at our option, on LIBOR plus the applicable margin of 6.75% or EURIBOR plus the applicable margin of 6.75%. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had $76,711 and $83,903 available under the Revolvers.
     Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are collateralized by interests granted on a substantial portion of our worldwide assets and are guaranteed by certain subsidiary guarantors.
     The Senior Secured Credit Facility also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants such as restricting certain corporate actions, including asset dispositions, acquisitions, the payment of dividends, changes of control, the incurrence of indebtedness, providing financing and investments and transactions with affiliates. Under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, we are required to comply with certain financial covenants on a quarterly and annual basis.

6. Redeemable Preferred Stock
     The Company is authorized to issue in series up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01. The Board of Directors determines the voting rights, dividend policy, and conversion rights of each series of these preferred shares. To date, the Company has authorized the issuance of two series of preferred shares—Series B and Series C. The majority of each series of these preferred shares are held by Onex and other related parties. Each series has a mandatory redemption date of July 2, 2018 for cash and the right to be converted, at any time through the redemption date at the option of the holder, into the Company’s Class A Voting Common

(in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)
Stock (initially at $1.50 per share for Series C and $4.85 per share for Series B), in settlement of the Company’s obligations (including all accumulated and unpaid dividends through the redemption date). The net value of the preferred shares is recorded as Redeemable preferred stock (outside of permanent equity) on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
     The Series B and C Preferred Stock contain an optional cash redemption call option that is only exercisable by the Company. Since Onex controls the majority of the Board of Directors, accounting guidance requires the Company to account for this as an in-substance put option, since it assumes that Onex could force the execution of the call option. The in-substance put option meets the qualifications of a derivative, requiring it to be separated from the host instrument and recorded as a liability at fair value, with subsequent changes in the fair value recorded to the income statement. The Company has determined that the value is immaterial as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, thus no adjustment to the carrying value of the stock has been recorded in relation to the in-substance put option.
Series C Preferred Stock
     On December 10, 2008, the Company authorized the issuance of 125,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding was 30,983.
     Since the conversion option of the Series C Preferred Stock into Class A Voting Common Stock at $1.50 per share is less than the fair value of the common stock on the December 2008 and February 2009 issuance dates ($2.75 per share), there is a Beneficial Conversion Feature (“BCF”) associated with this preferred stock. The value of the BCF has been recognized separately at issuance by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value to Additional paid-in capital. For the Series C Preferred Stock owned by certain other related parties, this discount is then being accreted from the date of issuance to the stated redemption date of July 2, 2018. For the Series C Preferred Stock owned by Onex, the BCF was immediately amortized to the date of issuance due to existence of the in-substance put option on the stock discussed above.
     The liquidation value of the Series C Preferred Stock, including accrued dividends payable, at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 of $40,959 and $37,278, respectively, is net of deferred financing costs of $290 and $311, respectively, and the BCF of $4,022 and $4,325, respectively. The Series C Preferred Stock ranks senior to each other class of the Company’s stock in liquidation rights. Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate of 16% of the liquidation preference per share per annum, which accrue from inception and are payable at the mandatory redemption date or upon declaration by the Board of Directors.
Series B Preferred Stock
     On April 3, 2008, the Company authorized the issuance of 125,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding was 48,244.
     The liquidation value of the Series B Preferred Stock, including accrued dividends payable, at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 of $60,625 and $57,282, respectively, is net of deferred financing costs of $498 and $533, respectively. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate of 12% of the liquidation preference per share per annum, which accrue from inception and are payable at the mandatory redemption date or upon declaration by the Board of Directors.
7. Stock-Based Compensation
     The Company’s operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 included stock-based compensation expense of $47 and $94, respectively, compared to $63 and $128, respectively, for the same periods in 2010. A summary of the activity for the plans is included below.

     As of June 30, 2011, there was approximately $10,813 of total unrecognized compensation cost (including the effect of expected forfeitures) related to unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units that the Company had not recorded. We will recognize that cost over a period of two and three years for restricted shares and restricted stock units, respectively, following the occurrence of a change in control, initial public offering, or liquidity event, as defined in our individual employee restricted stock and restricted stock unit grant plans and agreements.
Deferred Compensation Plan
     As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $63 and $63, respectively, is recorded in Other noncurrent liabilities for the phantom stock units associated with the deferred compensation plan. Compensation expense of $12 and compensation income of $12 was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, based on the stock price at the end of the applicable period. No such income or expense was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.
8. Income Taxes
     The effective tax rate of (14.9%) for the six months ended June 30, 2011 differs from the effective tax rate of (37.5%) for the same period of 2010 as permanent items have remained consistent while pre-tax book loss has decreased. In addition, the effective tax rate for

(in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)
the first six months of 2011 includes the impact of the release of valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets of our Australian and Denmark subsidiaries, which resulted in a discrete benefit of $6,412. At June 30, 2011, the Company has recognized tax expense on a consolidated book loss because it recognizes tax expense in certain profitable jurisdictions which cannot be offset by tax benefit in loss jurisdictions due to the existence of valuation allowance in these jurisdictions.
     The Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest and penalties) were $42,489 and $37,179 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The increase is attributable to certain foreign tax contingency matters. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits (including interest and penalties) that would affect income tax expense, if ever recognized in the financial statements is $40,195. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that within the next 12-month period, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, for certain foreign tax positions might be reduced by $2,249 as a result of statute expirations or final resolution.
9. Employee Benefits and Compensation
     The Company has defined benefit pension plans covering certain employees outside of the U.S. These plans are administered by a third party and include limited activity. The components of the net pension liability of $3,888 and $3,331 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively are included in Other noncurrent liabilities and Other noncurrent assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Net periodic pension cost consisted of the following:
                                 
    Three Months Ended     Six Months Ended  
    June 30,     June 30,  
    2011     2010     2011     2010

Net periodic pension cost
  $ 231     $ 87     $ 448     $ 333  
 
                       
     The Company also sponsors various employee retirement plans. In the United States, the Company sponsors a 401(k) savings plan that covers substantially all U.S. employees. In both Canada and Europe, the Company sponsors similar defined contribution plans. Expenses related to the defined contribution plans amounted to $104 and $190, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, compared to $105 and $219, respectively, for the same periods of 2010.
10. Commitments and Contingencies
     The Company and its subsidiaries from time to time are subject to legal claims arising in the ordinary course of business. While the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters, it believes, based upon currently available facts, that adequate provision for such claims has been made. However, adverse developments could negatively impact earnings in particular future fiscal periods.
     On December 16, 2010, three former employees of the now closed Memphis, Tennessee site filed an action in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee alleging unpaid wages on behalf of themselves and, purportedly, other similarly situated current and former employees. The complaint alleges violation of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (the “FLSA”) relating to unpaid pre and post shift work. Plaintiffs’ counsel has expressed their intent to file a motion for conditional certification for a nationwide class. Sitel filed an Answer and Motion to Dismiss on January 31, 2011 seeking dismissal for failure to state a claim. Plaintiffs responded to the Motion to Dismiss by voluntarily narrowing the scope of the putative class to former employees of the Memphis, Tennessee site and tendered a proposed Amended Complaint. The Court entered a scheduling order setting out deadlines for the case, and initial disclosures were filed on April 4, 2011. The plaintiffs filed a motion for conditional certification of the class on April 26, 2011. The Court denied the Company’s Motion to Dismiss and granted Plaintiffs’ Motion to Amend the Complaint. Sitel responded to the Amended Complaint on or about June 9, 2011. Sitel’s response to the Motion for Conditional Certification was filed on July 26, 2011. We are currently unable to predict the probable outcome of this matter and are not able to reasonably estimate the amount of loss, if any. No reserve has been recorded as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
     On March 3, 2011, one former employee of the now closed Birmingham, Alabama site filed an action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama alleging unpaid wages on behalf of himself and, purportedly, other similarly situated current and former employees in Alabama. The complaint alleges unpaid pre and post shift work. This lawsuit is similar to the one filed in December 2010 in Memphis, Tennessee (discussed above). Sitel filed an answer on April 22, 2011. The plaintiff filed a motion for conditional certification of the class on April 26, 2011. The Company responded to the Plaintiff’s motion on or about May 31, 2011 and it remains pending before the court. We are currently unable to predict the probable outcome of this matter and are not able to reasonably estimate the amount of loss, if any. No reserve has been recorded as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

     On July 22, 2010, General Motors LLC (“GM”) served a lawsuit against us in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The lawsuit alleged that the Company supplied GM with certain computerized telephonic voice response systems which were the subject of a patent infringement lawsuit filed against GM in 2006. On April 13, 2011, the parties executed a settlement agreement under which Sitel paid GM $400 in exchange for a full release of all claims asserted in the lawsuit. Payment of the settlement amount was made on May 2, 2011. This charge is recorded in Selling, general, and administrative expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
     On July 21, 2009, one of our clients filed a lawsuit against us in New York federal court alleging breach of contract and negligence. The lawsuit alleges that we failed to maintain certain call recordings on behalf of such client and seeks actual damages or, in the alternative, “liquidated” damages in the amount of $33,000. Our insurance carrier has indicated that actual damages likely would be covered. On August 11, 2009, we answered the complaint denying liability and asserting a counterclaim for $1,202 in unpaid fees for services rendered by us. Discovery is currently ongoing, and the parties are currently engaged in a dispute regarding the sufficiency of discovery responses. We are currently unable to predict the probable outcome of this matter and are not able to reasonably estimate the amount of loss, if any. No reserve has been recorded as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
     In April 2008, the local Sao Paulo, Brazil tax authorities assessed our Brazilian subsidiary (“SITEL Brazil”) for the alleged non-payment of local sales taxes in the original amount of approximately 3,500 Brazilian Reais (equivalent to approximately $2,180 as of June 30, 2011) for a period extending from 2004 to October 2008. We currently estimate that the amount of the assessment is now approximately 7,700 Brazilian Reais (equivalent to approximately $4,800 as of June 30, 2011), due to increases in interest and penalties. The assessment relates to billings made to a domestic Brazilian client for which SITEL Brazil provided on site agent support at the client’s site located in Barueri City, Brazil. Local sales taxes on services provided in Brazil are assessed based on the actual location where services are rendered. SITEL Brazil paid local sales taxes to Barueri City, however the Sao Paulo tax authorities contend erroneously that the services were performed in Sao Paolo where SITEL Brazil maintains an office. SITEL Brazil appealed the original assessment and in March 2010, the tax authorities ruled against SITEL Brazil. In October 2010, SITEL Brazil received a formal demand to pay the 7,700 Brazilian Reais (equivalent to approximately $4,800 as of June 30, 2011) assessment. SITEL Brazil deposited 7,700 Brazilian Reais (equivalent to approximately $4,800 as of June 30, 2011) with the tax authorities in December 2010 and filed its defense with the courts in January 2011. We are currently unable to predict the probable outcome of this matter and are not able to reasonably estimate the amount of loss, if any. No reserve has been recorded as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
11. Derivative Financial Instruments
     The Company is exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. The Company’s policies allow for the use of derivative financial instruments to prudently manage foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate exposure, but do not allow derivatives to be used for speculative purposes. Derivatives that we use are primarily foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps. Our derivative activities are subject to the management, direction, and control of our senior financial officers. Risk management practices, including the use of financial derivative instruments, are presented to the Board of Directors at least annually.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
     We conduct a significant portion of our business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Our subsidiaries generally use the local currency as their functional currency for paying labor and other operating costs. Conversely, revenues for some of these foreign subsidiaries are derived from client contracts that are invoiced and collected in a different currency, principally in U.S. dollars, as well as other currencies such as Euro, British pound sterling, or Australian dollars. To hedge against the risk of fluctuations in our subsidiaries’ functional currency, we have contracted with financial institutions to acquire (utilizing forward contracts) the functional currency of the foreign subsidiary at a fixed counterparty exchange rate at specific dates in the future. As of June 30, 2011, we had forward contracts maturing within the next 20 months.
Interest Rate Risk
     Interest rate movements create a degree of risk by affecting the amount of our interest payments, so our practice is to use interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to interest rate changes.
     In connection with the Senior Secured Credit Facility dated January 30, 2007, we entered into an interest rate swap to convert $400,000 (reduced to $350,000 on March 31, 2009) of our floating rate debt into fixed rate debt. We elected not to designate this swap for hedge accounting treatment. The fair value of this interest rate swap is included in the table below.
     For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded losses of $4,074 and $8,107, respectively, for settled interest payments, compared to $4,086 and $8,164 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. Additionally, a mark to market valuation reduction in the liability of $3,651 and $7,276 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. These amounts are reflected in Interest and other financing costs, net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

     The carrying values of Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade receivables, and trade payables approximate fair value. The terms of the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility and Senior Notes include debt with variable and fixed interest rates, totaling $657,857 and $646,213 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The fair value of such debt was $624,967 and $576,895 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
     U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are classified into a hierarchy by the inputs used to perform the fair value calculation as follows:
     Level 1 — Fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
     Level 2 — Modeled fair value with model inputs that are all observable market values.
     Level 3 — Modeled fair value with at least one model input that is not an observable market value.
     The following tables summarize financial assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. There were no transfers between pricing levels for the six month period ended June 30, 2011.

     The Company uses quoted market prices in active markets to determine the fair value of its marketable securities, which are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company values its derivatives based on current market prices of comparable instruments or, if none are available, on pricing models or formulas using current market and model assumptions. The Company’s interest rate derivative instrument is a pay-fixed, receive-variable, interest rate swap based on LIBOR swap rate. The LIBOR swap rate is observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the swap and therefore is considered a level 2 item. The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are contracts to buy foreign currency at a fixed rate for delivery on a specified future date or period. The foreign exchange rate is observable for the full term of the swap and is therefore also considered a level 2 item. The fair value measurement of a liability must reflect the nonperformance risk of the entity. Therefore, the impact of the Company’s creditworthiness has also been factored into the fair value measurement of these derivative instruments.
     The Company measures and reports its intangible assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
     We test all existing goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles (trademark and trade name) for impairment at least annually and more frequently if circumstances indicate that the carrying amount exceeds fair value. Annual impairment tests are conducted by the Company as of December 31. The Company estimates the fair value of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles utilizing multiple measurement techniques. The estimation is primarily determined based on an estimate of future cash flows (income approach) discounted at a market derived weighted average cost of capital. The income approach has been determined to be the most representative because the Company does not have an active trading market for its equity. We then use a public company model (which uses peer group valuation metrics) to confirm the measurement.
     The Company evaluates the remaining useful lives of its definite-lived intangible assets (customer relationships and cash grant contracts) whenever events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining amortization period. The fair value of definite-lived intangible assets is based on estimated cash flows from the future use of the asset, discounted at a market derived weighted average cost of capital.
     No impairment charges related to goodwill and other intangible assets were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

13. Variable Interest Entity
     On March 15, 2010, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with a previously unrelated entity, as well as an Exclusive Purchase and Distribution Agreement pursuant to which we acquired certain intellectual property and other commercial rights. We had determined this entity to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”) based on our option to acquire 100% of the business over the exclusivity period. The entity was not previously consolidated since we had determined that we were not the primary beneficiary.
     On June 30, 2011, we entered into a Termination Agreement which superseded and terminated all prior agreements between the two parties. We also entered into an agreement on this date, whereby Sitel agreed to purchase certain software licenses and hardware from this entity over a specified period of time. Under the new agreement, this entity no longer qualifies as a VIE.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars except share and per share data)
Overview
     We are one of the world’s largest and most diversified providers of customer care outsourcing services. We offer our clients a wide array of services, including customer service, technical support and customer acquisition, retention and revenue generation services. The majority of our customer care services are inbound and delivered telephonically, but we are increasingly asked to provide services through other communication channels, including email, online chat, web and interactive voice response. We serve a broad range of industry end-markets, including wireless, telecommunications, technology, financial services, retail and consumer products, media and entertainment, energy and utilities, travel and transportation, internet service providers, insurance and healthcare.
     We provide our clients with high quality customer care expertise customized for their specific end-markets in order to improve their interactions with their customers and, in turn, increase their return on customer investment. Our clients reduce their costs by leveraging our economies of scale, gaining access to our skilled labor force, and benefiting from our facilities, which are strategically located in cost-effective labor markets throughout the world. They increase their revenues through improved customer satisfaction, increased retention, and more effective sales conversions. In addition, our services allow our clients to reduce capital expenditures, better manage working capital and transform fixed customer care-related costs into variable costs. We have worked closely with our clients through the recent global economic downturn to drive efficiency and effectiveness throughout their customer care operations.
     We are organized geographically and have two reporting segments: (1) “EMEA,” which refers to Europe, the Middle East and Africa and (2) “Americas,” which refers to North America, Latin America and Asia Pacific. Each reporting segment performs substantially the same services for clients. We have approximately 16,000 employees based in EMEA and approximately 41,000 employees based in the Americas.
     Our standardized practices and regionalized support functions are designed to achieve consistent, high quality service throughout the world. Of our revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, 43% and 44%, respectively, was generated in EMEA and 57% and 56%, respectively, was generated in the Americas.
     We reported revenues of $349,554 and $692,726, respectively, for the first three and six months of 2011, up 10.0% and 2.4%, respectively, or $31,848 and $16,853, respectively, from $317,706 and $675,873, respectively, for the same periods of 2010. The increase was primarily due to new campaigns from existing clients, combined with a lower client attrition rate in 2011. Included within the increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was approximately $15,300 and $13,100, respectively, of foreign exchange gains due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar. Certain conditions, including recent macroeconomic volatility in the Americas and EMEA, may impact customer demand for our clients’ products, which can impact our call volumes and revenues.
     While cost of services has increased in line with our revenues, other operating expenses have largely decreased due to the simplification and rationalization efforts that have taken place over the past year.
Forward-Looking Statements
     This report contains forward-looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management regarding, among other things, our plans, strategies and prospects, both business and financial.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     Our discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto. Certain of our

Table of Contents

accounting policies are considered critical, due to the level of subjectivity and judgment necessary in applying these policies and because the impact of these estimates and assumptions on our financial condition and operating performance may be material. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments in these areas based on historic experience and other relevant factors. The estimates as of the date of the financial statements reflect our best judgment giving consideration to all currently available facts and circumstances. We believe our estimates and judgments are reasonable, however, actual results and the timing of the recognition of such amounts could differ from those estimates.
     We have used methodologies that are consistent from year to year in all material respects. For details concerning these critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (333-172952) filed with the SEC and declared effective by the SEC on March 28, 2011. Any deviation from these policies or estimates could have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenues
     Consolidated revenues increased $31,848 or 10.0% to $349,554 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $317,706 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Revenues in the EMEA segment increased $20,287 or 15.4% to $151,753 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $131,466 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. In the Americas, revenues increased $11,561 or 6.2% to $197,801 from $186,240 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively.
     We believe the increase in revenues was primarily attributable to approximately:
    $33,000 incremental revenue from new customers and net growth from our existing clients driven by expansion of our relationships with these customers (i.e. new campaigns and/or new services).
 
    $15,300 of foreign exchange impact due to weakening of the U.S. dollar during the second quarter of 2011.
     Increases in second quarter revenues were partially offset by approximately:
    $16,500 of attrition primarily attributable to reductions in existing client programs driven by certain clients’ changes in outsourcing strategies and competitive pricing pressures.
Costs of Services
     Costs of services increased $19,416 or 9.2% to $230,209 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $210,793 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Of the $19,416 increase, $14,401 was attributable to EMEA and $5,015 was attributable to the Americas. Costs of services increases for the quarter were proportionately lower than the increase in revenues primarily due to a $6,002 loss on derivatives not designated as hedging contracts in the second quarter of 2010 compared to a gain of $32 in the second quarter of 2011. When normalized for this movement and approximately $11,300 of foreign exchange impact, the proportionately higher increase in Costs of services was due to the loss of higher margin business in the second quarter of 2011.
     As a result, our Costs of services for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were 65.9% of revenues, a 0.4 percentage point decrease from the three months ended June 30, 2010.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
     Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased $394 or 0.4% to $90,629 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $91,023 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. In addition to our restructuring efforts, we have also incurred savings due to negotiated reductions in information technology, leases, and professional service fees. Additionally, we incurred a $271 loss on derivatives not designated as hedging contracts in the second quarter of 2010 compared to a gain of $22 in the second quarter of 2011.
     The EMEA segment reported a 1.1% decrease in SG&A of $404 from $36,637 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $36,233 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. SG&A expense in the Americas was $54,396 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $54,386 for the same period of 2010.

Depreciation and Amortization of Property and Equipment
     Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment decreased $343 or 3.7% to $8,845 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $9,188 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in depreciation and amortization of property and equipment was primarily the result of assets becoming fully depreciated. We anticipate an increase in capital expenditures in 2011 due to projected growth and IT and facilities maintenance, which we expect to drive future increases in depreciation and amortization of property and equipment in 2011.
Restructuring and Exit Charges
     The Company continues to evaluate and assess its operations. This results in restructuring activities to rationalize facility and labor costs, further streamline the Company’s operations in order to align resources to support growth, and to shift the geographic mix of some of the Company’s resources. Reduced volumes stemming from the recent global economic downturn have also resulted in further workforce reductions and site closures.
     Restructuring and exit charges decreased $582 to $2,265 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $2,847 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The restructuring charge for the second quarter of 2011 included severance costs of $1,813 and site closure costs totaling $452, which are primarily ongoing lease and other contractual obligations.
     During the three months ended June 30, 2011, one site was closed or consolidated and 241 positions were eliminated resulting in total restructuring charges of $2,541 and estimated annualized savings of $5,594. Total expected costs relating to restructuring activities initiated in 2011 are $12,678, and such activities are expected to be completed by the end of 2011. The remaining accrual for severance-related activities of $3,662 is expected to be paid by the end of 2011, and the remaining accrual for facility exit costs of $748 is expected to be paid during the remainder of the current fiscal year through 2016 as the related leases expire.
     During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we recognized a reduction in expense of $276 relating to restructuring activities initiated in 2010. These activities are completed, and no additional significant costs are expected to be incurred. The remaining accrual for severance-related activities of $7,001 is expected to be paid by the end of 2011, and the remaining accrual for facility exit costs of $4,116 is expected to be paid during the remainder of the current fiscal year through 2016 as the related leases expire.
(Gain) Loss on Foreign Currency Transactions
     We recognized a gain on foreign currency transactions in the amount of $280 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to a loss of $3,514 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The gain on foreign currency is primarily attributable to the weakening of the U.S. dollar during the second quarter of 2011.
Interest and Financing Costs
     Interest and other financing costs decreased $852 or 4.9% to $16,701 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $17,553 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Decreases in interest and financing costs were primarily attributable to the mark to market adjustment to the interest rate swap, partially offset by the increase due to higher interest rates on the Senior Notes and extended Term Loans.
Income Tax Provision
     Our provision for income taxes decreased from $6,605 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $3,003 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in tax expense is primarily related to prior year accruals for tax controversy matters.
     Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2010
     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Results for interim periods may not be indicative of the results for the full years.

     Consolidated revenues increased $16,853 or 2.5% to $692,726 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $675,873 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Revenues in the EMEA segment increased $14,213 or 4.9% to $303,208 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $288,995 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. In the Americas, revenues increased $2,640 or 0.6% to $389,518 from $386,878 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively.
     We believe the increase in revenues was primarily attributable to approximately:
    $50,600 incremental revenue from new customers and net growth from our existing clients driven by expansion of our relationships with these customers (i.e. new campaigns and/or new services).
 
    $13,100 of foreign exchange impact due to weakening of the U.S. dollar during the first six months of 2011.

Table of Contents

     Decreases in revenues for the six months were partially offset by approximately:
    $46,800 of attrition primarily attributable to reductions in existing client programs driven by certain clients’ changes in outsourcing strategies and competitive pricing pressures.
Costs of Services
     Costs of services increased $15,164 or 3.5% to $451,834 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $436,670 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Of the $15,164 increase, $9,998 was attributable to EMEA and $5,166 was attributable to the Americas. Costs of services increases for the six months were proportionately higher than the increase in revenues and are primarily due to the loss of higher margin business in the first six months of 2011. The increase in Costs of services is offset by a $407 loss on derivatives not designated as hedging contracts in the first six months of 2010 compared to a gain of $24 in the first six months of 2011.
     As a result, our Costs of services for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were 65.2% of revenues, a 0.6 percentage point increase from the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
     SG&A decreased $6,948 or 3.7% to $179,182 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $186,130 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. In addition to our restructuring efforts, we have also incurred savings due to negotiated reductions in information technology, leases, and professional service fees. Additionally, we incurred a $271 loss on derivatives not designated as hedging contracts in the first six months of 2010 compared to a gain of $16 in the first six months of 2011.
     EMEA reported a 7.0% decrease in SG&A of $5,529 from $78,453 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $72,924 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. In addition, SG&A expense in the Americas decreased $1,419 or 1.3% from $107,677 to $106,258 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011, respectively.
Depreciation and Amortization of Property and Equipment
     Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment decreased $1,760 or 9.1% to $17,475 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $19,235 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in depreciation and amortization of property and equipment was primarily the result of assets becoming fully depreciated. We anticipate an increase in capital expenditures in 2011 due to projected growth and IT and facilities maintenance, which we expect to drive future increases in depreciation and amortization of property and equipment in 2011.
Restructuring and Exit Charges
     The Company continues to evaluate and assess its operations. This results in restructuring activities to rationalize facility and labor costs, further streamline the Company’s operations in order to align resources to support growth, and to shift the geographic mix of some of the Company’s resources. Reduced volumes stemming from the recent global economic downturn have also resulted in further workforce reductions and site closures.
     Restructuring and exit charges increased $673 to $9,285 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $8,612 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The restructuring charge for the first six months of 2011 included severance costs of $6,861 and site closure costs totaling $2,424, which are primarily ongoing lease and other contractual obligations.
     During the six months ended June 30, 2011, five sites were closed or consolidated and 973 positions were eliminated resulting in total restructuring charges of $8,971 and estimated annualized savings of $15,206. Total expected costs relating to restructuring activities initiated in 2011 are $12,678, and such activities are expected to be completed by the end of 2011. The remaining accrual for severance-related activities of $3,662 is expected to be paid by the end of 2011, and the remaining accrual for facility exit costs of $748 is expected to be paid during the remainder of the current fiscal year through 2016 as the related leases expire.
     During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized expense of $373 relating to restructuring activities initiated in 2010. These activities are completed, and no additional significant costs are expected to be incurred. The remaining accrual for severance-related activities of $7,001 is expected to be paid by the end of 2011, and the remaining accrual for facility exit costs of $4,116 is expected to be paid during the remainder of the current fiscal year through 2016 as the related leases expire.
(Gain) Loss on Foreign Currency Transactions
     We recognized a gain on foreign currency transactions in the amount of $2,848 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to a loss of $6,773 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The gain on foreign currency is primarily attributable to the weakening of the U.S. dollar during the first six months of 2011.

Interest and Financing Costs
     Interest and other financing costs increased $306 or 0.9% to $32,732 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $32,426 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
     We recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $3,019 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, consisting of fees paid of $2,648 and write off of deferred financing fees of $371. No such costs were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Income Tax Provision
     Our provision for income taxes decreased from $9,451 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $437 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in income tax expense is primarily due to non-reoccurring prior year accruals for tax controversy matters and the release of valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets of our Australian and Denmark subsidiaries during the first and second quarters of 2011, respectively, which releases resulted in a discrete benefit of $6,412. Management concluded that strong first quarter performance coupled with cumulative profitability overcame historic inconsistent financial performance to warrant the release of the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets of our Australian subsidiary while our Denmark subsidiary demonstrated the same facts during the second quarter.
     Management will continue to assess the Company’s ability to realize the deferred tax benefits in jurisdictions which currently have valuation allowances. There are certain state and foreign jurisdictions where management feels it is necessary to see further evidence of sustained achievement towards financial targets before any valuation allowance can be released with respect to these operations. If such goals can be achieved and sustained throughout 2011, the Company may release all or a portion of the remaining valuation allowance with respect to these operations. Such release would result in a benefit to the income tax rate and net income in the period of release.
Client Concentration
     Our ten largest clients represented approximately 37.4% and 37.5%, respectively, of our revenues for the first three and six months of 2011, as compared to 37.3% and 37.4%, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2010. No client accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues during these periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Our principal sources of liquidity have been net cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility and the issuance of the Senior Notes and equity. Our principal uses of cash have included debt service, capital expenditures, and the financing of working capital. We expect that our principal uses of cash in the future will be to finance working capital, capital expenditures and service debt. We anticipate an increase in interest expense due to the increased interest rate on our extended Term Loans and Revolvers. We expect that our principal sources of cash in the future will remain net cash provided by operating activities. Subject to our operating performance, which if significantly adversely affected, would adversely affect the availability of funds, we believe that cash generated from operations and borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility or other financing arrangements will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements, anticipated capital expenditures and scheduled debt payments for at least the next twelve months.
     We manage a centralized global treasury function in the United States with a particular focus on concentrating and safeguarding our global Cash and cash equivalent reserves. While we generally prefer to hold U.S. dollars, we maintain adequate cash in the functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries to support local operating costs. While there are no assurances, we believe our global cash is protected given our cash management practices, banking partners, and low-risk investments.
     The amount of capital required over the next 12 months will also depend on our levels of investment in infrastructure necessary to maintain, upgrade, or replace existing assets or to develop new customer care centers. Our working capital and capital expenditure requirements could also increase materially in the event of acquisitions or joint ventures, among other factors. These factors could require that we raise additional capital through future debt or equity financing.
     We expect our operations to continue to require increased capital expenditures to support the growth of our business.
     Historically, equipment purchases have been financed through cash generated from operations, our Senior Secured Credit Facility, our ability to acquire equipment through operating leases, and through capital lease obligations with various equipment vendors and lending institutions.

Financing activities
    3,547       33,991       (30,444 )
     Operating Activities. We used cash in operations of $1,532 in for the first half of 2011 compared to cash provided by operations of $6,172 for the comparable period in 2010. The $7,704 decrease in cash flows from operations was primarily driven by increased interest expense in 2010 due to the issuance of the Senior Notes, the absence of cash proceeds from marketable securities and the change in working capital. The primary driver of the change in working capital is due to an increase in Revenues, which resulted in a corresponding increase in Accounts Receivable for the period.
     Investing Activities. We used cash in investing activities of $14,574 during the first half of 2011 compared to $13,561 during the comparable period in 2010. The $1,013 increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by an increase in property and equipment purchases. We are forecasting continued increases in capital expenditures in 2011 due to growth in the Americas and EMEA as well as technology and facilities maintenance.
     Financing Activities. We generated cash from financing activities of $3,547 during the first six months of 2011 compared to $33,991 during the comparable period in 2010. The decrease in financing proceeds was primarily driven by the Senior Notes offering and related use of proceeds during the first quarter of 2010.
     Cash Position, Working Capital and Indebtedness
     As of June 30, 2011, our total Cash and cash equivalents were $18,806 and we had total indebtedness of approximately $657,857. Working capital (defined as Prepaids and other current assets (excluding Cash and cash equivalents) less Accrued liabilities and other (excluding Current portion of long-term debt and Current portion of capital lease obligations), adjusted for Other non-current assets less Other non-current liabilities) was $70,090 at June 30, 2011, compared to $36,507 at June 30, 2010, an increase of $33,583.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
The Senior Notes
     On March 18, 2010, SITEL, LLC and Sitel Finance Corp., as co-issuers, issued, in a private placement, $300,000 of 11.5% Senior Notes due April 1, 2018 at an offering price of 97.454% of the face value of the Senior Notes. On April 29, 2011, all of the outstanding Senior Notes were exchanged for registered Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and are senior in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness, if any, that is by its terms expressly subordinated to the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are guaranteed by the Company and its domestic subsidiaries and will mature on April 1, 2018. Interest accrues on the Senior Notes at a rate of 11.5% annually, and is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1. Proceeds from the Senior Notes offering were used to pay down approximately $231,600 of the Term Loans and 100% of the outstanding balance on the Revolvers, both of which are discussed further below.
     The Company is not required to make mandatory redemptions or sinking fund payments with respect to the Senior Notes; however, at any time prior to April 1, 2013, the Issuers may, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at 111.50%. Prior to April 1, 2014, the Senior Notes may be redeemed in part or in full at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes, plus a make-whole premium calculated in accordance with the indenture governing the Senior Notes and accrued and unpaid interest. On or after April 1, 2014, the Senior Notes may be redeemed in part or in full at the following percentages of the outstanding principal amount prepaid: 105.750% prior to April 1, 2015; 102.875% on or after April 1, 2015, but prior to April 1, 2016; and 100% on or after April 1, 2016.
     The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains customary covenants and restrictions on the activities of SITEL, LLC, Sitel Finance Corp. and SITEL, LLC’s restricted subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, the incurrence of additional indebtedness; dividends or distributions in respect of capital stock or certain other restricted payments or investments; entering into agreements that restrict distributions from restricted subsidiaries; the sale or disposal of assets, including capital stock of restricted subsidiaries; transactions with affiliates; the incurrence of liens; and mergers, consolidations or the sale of substantially all of SITEL, LLC’s assets. Certain of these covenants will be suspended if the Senior Notes are assigned an investment grade rating by both Standard & Poor’s Rating Services and Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. and no default has occurred or is continuing. If either rating on the Senior Notes should subsequently decline to below investment grade, the suspended covenants will be reinstated.
     As a result of the partial pay down of the Term Loans, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $3,019, consisting of fees paid of $2,648 and write off of deferred financing fees of $371. Additionally, there is an original issue discount associated with the

Senior Notes of $7,638, and the Company deferred debt issuance costs relating to the Senior Notes of $8,203, both of which will be amortized over the term of the Senior Notes.
2007 Senior Secured Credit Facility
     Overview
     On January 30, 2007, we entered into the Senior Secured Credit Facility among a syndicate of banks with Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P. as joint lead arranger, joint bookrunner, administrative agent and collateral agent and GE Capital Markets, Inc. as joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner. The Senior Secured Credit Facility originally provided for total available borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $760,000, which includes $85,000 of Revolvers maturing on January 30, 2013, consisting of a $50,000 U.S. revolver, a $7,000 Canadian revolver (made available in Canadian dollars) and a $28,000 U.K. revolver (made available in Euro and British pound sterling), and $675,000 of Term Loans maturing on January 30, 2014 and January 30, 2017, consisting of a $550,000 U.S. term loan, a € 51,400 Euro term loan, and a £30,000 British pound sterling term loan. SITEL, LLC is the borrower under the U.S. term loan and the U.S. revolver, ClientLogic Holding Limited is the borrower under the Euro term loan, the British pound sterling term loan and the U.K. revolver, and Sitel Canada Corporation (formerly known as ClientLogic Canada Corporation) is the borrower under the Canadian revolver. We used the proceeds from the Senior Secured Credit Facility to repay our August 2006 credit facility and to fund recent acquisitions, including the acquisition of Legacy SITEL on January 30, 2007.
     As of June 30, 2011, we had an aggregate of $364,708 of outstanding indebtedness under our Senior Secured Credit Facility, which consisted of $357,524 of Term Loans and $7,184 of Revolvers. Our Term Loans consisted of $286,740 outstanding on the U.S. term loan, $42,760 outstanding on the Euro term loan, and $28,024 outstanding on the British pound sterling term loan. In addition, we had outstanding letters of credit of $1,105 as of that date. As of June 30, 2011, we had $76,711 available for additional borrowings under our Revolvers.
     First Amendment
     On December 9, 2008, we entered into the first amendment to our Senior Secured Credit Facility (the “First Amendment”) which, among other matters, modified applicable interest rates, certain negative covenants, and financial covenant thresholds. In addition, the First Amendment permitted us to offer to purchase the outstanding Term Loans at a discount to par using a portion of the net proceeds we received from the sales of our series C preferred stock we completed in 2008. We received approximately $29,600 through the issuance of series C preferred stock which was a condition to entering into the First Amendment. As required under the First Amendment, we offered to purchase Term Loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, and in December 2008, we purchased approximately $27,000 of outstanding principal under the Term Loans for approximately $15,000, which Term Loans were subsequently cancelled and retired.
     Second Amendment
     In April 2009, we entered into the second amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility which effected a technical amendment clarifying certain terms governing minimum borrowing amounts under certain interest rates including LIBOR.
     Third Amendment
     In February 2010, we entered into the third amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility (the “Third Amendment”) to, among other things, permit the issuance of the Senior Notes, improve the terms of mandatory prepayment requirements, and modify our leverage covenant and interest coverage covenant.
     Fourth Amendment
     During the second quarter of 2011, we entered into the fourth amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility (the “Fourth Amendment”) to, among other things, allow flexibility to refinance or prepay the non-extended portions of the Term Loans prior to the extended portions, and to refinance, extend or replace the Revolvers and Term Loans; increase the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio covenant levels; and decrease the Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio covenant levels.
     Interest
     The non-extended Term Loans mature in January 2014. All Term Loans amortize in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount with the balance payable at maturity. Payments on the principal amount have exceeded the cumulative amortization schedule, thus no amount is due until maturity. Interest on the non-extended Term Loans is based, at our option, on floating LIBOR plus the applicable margin of 5.5%, or the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the prime rate plus the applicable margin of 4.5%. Interest on the extended portion of the U.S. term loan is based, at our option, on LIBOR plus the applicable margin of 6.75%, or the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the prime rate plus the applicable margin of 5.75%. Interest on the extended portion of the Euro term loan is based on EURIBOR plus the applicable margin of 6.75%. Interest on the extended portion of the British pound sterling term loan is based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin of 6.75%. We have an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $350,000 against

40


Table of Contents

our Term Loans that is based on a rate of 4.91% versus three month LIBOR. The agreement expires in March 2012.
     The non-extended Revolvers mature in January 2013. A commitment fee is payable quarterly at 0.50% per annum of the undrawn portion of the Revolvers. Interest on the non-extended Canadian revolver is based on the Banker’s Acceptance Rate plus the appliciable margin of 4.5%. Interest on the non-extended U.K. revolver is based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin of 5.5%. Interest on the non-extended U.S. revolver is based on the prime rate plus the applicable margin of 4.5%. Interest on the extended portion of the U.S. revolver is based, at our option, on LIBOR plus the applicable margin of 6.75%, or the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the prime rate plus the applicable margin of 5.75%. Interest on the extended portion of the U.K. revolver is based, at our option, on LIBOR plus the applicable margin of 6.75% or EURIBOR plus the applicable margin of 6.75%.
     Prepayments
     Beginning on April 2, 2007, our Term Loans began amortizing in equal quarterly installments of $1,700 with the balance payable at maturity. We may be required to prepay certain amounts under the Senior Secured Credit Facility should we initiate specified transactions, including certain issuances of equity, sale of certain assets or receipt of certain insurance proceeds, or additional debt issuances if not otherwise extended as well as from certain percentages of any excess cash flow. We may voluntarily prepay all or part of the Term Loans under certain conditions. Amounts borrowed under the Term Loans that are repaid or prepaid may not be re-borrowed. Amounts repaid under our Revolvers may be re-borrowed, as long as the total commitment under the Revolvers is not permanently reduced.
     On April 2, 2007, we made our first quarterly installment of $1,700. On April 30, 2007, we received an equity investment of $32,600. Our Senior Secured Credit Facility required us to use 50% of such equity proceeds to prepay the Term Loans. As such, we repaid $16,300 against the Term Loans and, as a result, we were not required to make quarterly principal installments on the Term Loans until September 2009. In addition, in September 2008, we made a voluntary prepayment on the Term Loans of $31,500 using proceeds from a $31,500 convertible subordinated note from Onex. As a result, we will not incur any further quarterly principal installments on our Term Loans before maturity. Furthermore, on December 19, 2008, we received a $30,000 equity investment and used $15,000 of the proceeds to repurchase $27,000 of the Term Loans pursuant to a tender offer process. We subsequently cancelled and retired these tendered term loans.
     Covenants
     We are required under the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility to maintain certain financial covenants. Specifically, the Third and Fourth Amendments require us to comply with the following financial covenants on an annual basis:
     Senior Secured Leverage Ratio. The senior secured leverage ratio is the ratio of our total funded debt that is secured by a lien on any assets or equity interests of the Company or any of our subsidiaries to our Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility) for each period of four consecutive quarters ending during the term of the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
     Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio. The minimum interest coverage ratio is the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to cash interest expense (net of interest income) for each period of four consecutive quarters ending during the term of the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
     Maximum Capital Expenditures. The maximum capital expenditures covenant in our Senior Secured Credit Facility limits our annual capital spending, cash restructuring in excess of $10,000, and our acquisition expenses in excess of $10,000 to a pre-established limit each year and allows for carryover of unused spend up to a maximum of $5,000 per year.
     The Senior Secured Credit Facility also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants such as restricting certain corporate actions, including asset dispositions, acquisitions, the payment of dividends, changes of control, the incurrence of indebtedness, providing financing and investments, and transactions with affiliates.
     The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facility as of June 30, 2011. We believe that we will continue to be able to comply with the restrictive covenants in our Senior Secured Credit Facility.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
     Our off balance sheet arrangements primarily consist of our operating leases and standby letters of credit. We lease property and equipment under non-cancelable operating lease arrangements with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year. At June 30, 2011, the future lease commitments relating to our operating leases were $164,976. We utilize standby letters of credit to support primarily workers’ compensation policy requirements and certain operating leases. These obligations will expire at various dates through October 30, 2011, and are renewed as required. The outstanding commitment on these obligations at June 30, 2011 was $1,105.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     We carried out an evaluation required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the 1934 Act) as of June 30, 2011.
