TeleTech Announces Increased Authorization of $50 Million for Share Repurchases

 

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Mar. 24, 2011 — TeleTech Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEC), one of the largest global providers of technology-enabled business process outsourcing solutions that drive commerce and differentiate the customer experience, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved an additional authorization of $50 million for share repurchases.

 

During 2010, TeleTech’s strong cash flow from operations, positive net cash position and solid balance sheet enabled the repurchase of five million shares of common stock for a total cost of approximately $80 million.

 

“The Board’s support of our ongoing share repurchase program demonstrates its strong confidence in the company’s future growth prospects,” said Kenneth Tuchman, chairman and chief executive officer.  “TeleTech’s solid cash flow from operations continues to provide the capital necessary to fund organic growth, strategic acquisitions and share repurchases.”

 

As of December 31, 2010, under the previous authorization approved by the Board, total funding available for share repurchases was $45 million.

 

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.
