Item 1.01          Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 24, 2015, TeleTech Holdings, Inc. (“TeleTech”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Kenneth D. Tuchman, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TeleTech, to effectuate a “cashless exercise” in connection with Mr. Tuchman’s exercise of options granted to him under TeleTech’s 1999 Stock Option and Incentive Plan.  On November 4, 2005, Mr. Tuchman was granted the option to purchase 800,000 shares of common stock of TeleTech at an exercise price of $11.35 per share.  Mr. Tuchman’s option has vested in full and expires in November 2015.  Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Mr. Tuchman will exercise the option in full at the end of business on August 31, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), and, upon issuance of the option shares, will sell to TeleTech, and TeleTech has agreed to acquire, an equivalent number of option shares, valued at the closing price on the Closing Date, to pay the option exercise price plus any tax withholding obligations.

 

The Stock Purchase Agreement was negotiated between Mr. Tuchman and TeleTech at arm’s length.  It was approved by all independent and disinterested members of TeleTech’s Board of Directors at a special board meeting called specifically for the purpose of reviewing this related party transaction. A copy of the Stock Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
