Item 5.07.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On May 24, 2017, TeleTech Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Stockholders Meeting”).  At the Company’s Annual Stockholders Meeting, Ms. Ekta Singh-Bushell was elected as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).  Ms. Singh-Bushell’s term starts immediately and she will serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders.

Ms. Singh-Bushell, 45, recently resigned from her role as deputy first vice president, chief operating officer executive office, at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in order to take this position.  From 2015 to 2016, she was a partner at DecisionGPS LLC, a business analytics start-up and she continues to serve as a strategic board advisor to the company. Since 2015, Ms. Singh-Bushell has been serving as a member of the board of directors for LifeStream (Taxonometrics, Inc.). Between 1998 and 2015, Ms. Singh-Bushell served in various leadership roles with Ernst & Young, including global client services partner between 2005 and 2015, global and Americas IT Effectiveness leader, Northeast advisory people leader, and US innovation & digital strategy leader. Ms. Singh-Bushell is a licensed certified public accountant (CPA) and holds advanced international certifications in governance, information systems security, audit and control.  From 2004 to 2014, Ms. Singh-Bushell served in various leadership roles including treasurer and audit committee chair for the Asian American Federation. 

As of the date of this report, neither Ms. Singh-Bushell, nor any of her immediate family members, is a party (directly or indirectly) to any transaction subject to reporting pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.  Ms. Singh-Bushell will be compensated consistent with the compensation program for non-employee directors.

The Board appointed Ms. Singh-Bushell to serve on the Board’s Audit Committee. A copy of the Company’s press release issued on May 30, 2017, regarding Ms. Singh-Bushell’s election is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Ms. Singh-Bushell takes the place on the Board formerly occupied by Mr. Shrikant Mehta, who retired from the Board as of the date of the Annual Stockholders Meeting.  Mr. Mehta’s decision to retire from the Board after thirteen years of service to the Company was not due to any disagreements with the Board or Company’s management.

1.     The election of seven directors to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.  Each director was elected with the votes cast as follows:
