Item 8.01 Other Events. 
As previously disclosed, on July 10, 2015, SITEL Worldwide Corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Groupe Acticall S.A. (“Purchaser”), Saturn Merger Sub Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser (“Merger Sub”), and Onex American Holdings Subco LLC. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), whereupon the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease and the Company will be the surviving corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser. The consummation of the Merger is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among others, the expiration or termination of all applicable waiting periods and receipt of applicable antitrust approvals in the United States and certain non-U.S. jurisdictions and receipt of the necessary regulatory approvals.

On September 10, 2015, the Company announced that it has received regulatory approval from the European Union and from the Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Economica in Brazil, which comprise the two antitrust approvals required in connection with the transaction.
