ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Dec 06, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
TeleTech Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEC), one of the world's largest
global providers of comprehensive enterprise solutions that maximize
revenue, transform customer experiences and optimize business processes,
today announced that its Board of Directors has approved an increase of
$50 million in the funding available for share repurchases.
This increased authorization brings the total amount available for
repurchase to approximately $77 million from the $27 million that was
still available for share repurchases as of September 30, 2010 under the
previous authorization approved by the Board in August 2010.
During the first nine months of the year, TeleTech repurchased 3.2
million shares of common stock for approximately $48 million.
"The Board's decision to further increase our share repurchase program
demonstrates its confidence in the company's long-term growth prospects
and its ability to deliver transformative solutions that differentiate
the service experience for its clients," said Kenneth Tuchman, chairman
and chief executive officer. "TeleTech's strong cash flow from
operations, positive net cash position and solid balance sheet has
enabled us to repurchase our stock while also continuing to invest in
strategic 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.
