TELETECH ANNOUNCES INCREASED AUTHORIZATION FOR SHARE REPURCHASES

$25 Million Added to Current Repurchase Program

 

Englewood, Colo., August 4, 2010 — TeleTech Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEC), one of the largest global providers of technology-enabled revenue generation, on-demand and business process outsourcing (“BPO”) solutions, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved an increase of $25 million in the funding available for share repurchases.

 

This authorization brings the current total amount available for repurchase to approximately $38 million from the $13 million that was still available for share repurchases as of June 30, 2010 under the previous authorization approved by the Board in February 2010.

 

During the first half of the year, TeleTech repurchased 2.4 million shares of common stock for approximately $37 million.

 

“This increased authorization continues to demonstrate the Board’s strong confidence in TeleTech’s long-term growth prospects as well as its ongoing commitment to maximizing shareholder value,” said Kenneth Tuchman, chairman and chief executive officer.  “TeleTech’s solid balance sheet and strong cash flow from operations allow us to repurchase our stock while also continuing to stay at the forefront of technological innovation and investing in our future 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.
