Item 2.02.   Results of Operation and Financial Condition
The following information is being “furnished” in accordance with General Instruction of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference to any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Exchange Act.
On November 8, 2007, TeleTech Holdings, Inc. (“TeleTech”) issued a press release announcing preliminary financial and operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. On November 9, 2007, TeleTech also held a conference call, which was open to the public, to discuss these results. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and hereby incorporated by reference.
Item 4.02.   Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
(a)
On November 8, 2007, TeleTech issued a press release announcing that its Audit Committee has been conducting a review of the Company’s accounting for equity-based compensation practices. The review is being conducted with the assistance of outside legal counsel and accounting experts and will cover equity grants for the period from 1999 through 2007.
Based on the work conducted to date, TeleTech presently believes that it will be required to incur additional non-cash compensation expense for prior periods and that restatement of previous interim and annual financial statements for the periods 1999 through 2007 is likely. Accordingly, TeleTech’s management and the Audit Committee concluded on November 8, 2007 that TeleTech’s financial statements for the periods 1999 through 2006 and the first and second quarters of 2007 and all earnings and press releases and similar communications issued by the Company relating to all annual and quarterly periods subsequent to December 31, 1998 should not be relied upon. Because the review has not been concluded, the amount of additional non-cash compensation expense and the resulting tax impact cannot be determined.
The Audit Committee and management have discussed the matters disclosed in this filing with PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2007 who began with a review of the Company’s financial statements for the second quarter of 2007 and Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm from 2002 through the first quarter of 2007.
The Company’s press release on November 8, 2007 with respect to this matter, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, is incorporated herein by reference.
