Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On July 13, 2012, subsidiaries of TeleTech Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) located in Spain (the “Spain Subsidiaries) announced to their employees that as a result of the termination of contracts with clients, the Spain Subsidiaries will cease certain operations in Spain as of July 31, 2012.  The termination of the affected Spain Subsidiaries’ operations is part of the Company’s previously announced rationalization process, begun in the fourth quarter of 2011, to exit certain unprofitable markets and programs.  The Spain Subsidiaries, which have a total of approximately 1,400 employees, have commenced severance procedures with employees as required under Spanish law.

As the result of the decision by the Spain Subsidiaries to cease certain operations in Spain, the Company expects to record total pre-tax restructuring charges in the three months ended June 30, 2012 in the range of $14 million to $17 million for severance and other shut-down costs.  The Company expects that the amount related to severance will be paid by the Spain Subsidiaries during the next one to nine months.

This current report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Statements that may be considered forward-looking include statements incorporating terms such as “expects”, “believes”, “intends”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “anticipates”, “may”, “should”, and similar terms that relate to future events, performance, or results of the Company and specifically include statements made in this Form 8-K regarding the expected costs, savings, and timing of exiting the Spain Subsidiaries. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the historical experience of the Company and management’s present expectations or projections.  Management believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and management undertakes no obligation to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events.
