On August 1, 2008, the Board of Directors of TeleTech Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Robert M. Tarola, currently serving as Senior Vice President — Corporate Strategy of W. R.

A copy of TeleTech’s press release announcing Mr. Tarola’s appointment is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
As a newly appointed non-employee director, Mr. Tarola will be entitled to receive an automatic stock option grant to purchase 20,000 shares of TeleTech’s common stock effective two days after the Company announces its second quarter 2008 earnings (the end of the second quarter earnings blackout period). As an incumbent non-employee director, Mr. Tarola will also receive: (i) an option to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock on the day of each annual meeting of stockholders subsequent to his election or appointment to the Board, provided that he continues in office after the annual meeting; (ii) an annual retainer of $40,000 (paid $10,000 per quarter); (iii) a meeting fee of $1,000 for each Board or committee meeting attended; and (iv) a meeting fee of $500 for each telephonic Board or committee meeting attended. Stock options granted to Mr. Tarola, as well as all non-employee directors, vest immediately upon date of grant and are exercisable into restricted stock for which the restrictions lapse one year after the date of grant.
There are no relationships or related party transactions between Mr. Tarola and the Company that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
