Item 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Certain officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On March 8, 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors for TeleTech Holdings, Inc. approved a request from its Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, Kenneth D. Tuchman, to reduce his annual base salary from $350,000 to $1 annually.  In his request, Mr. Tuchman voluntarily waived any rights to a greater salary amount as set forth in Section 2 of his Employment Agreement with TeleTech Holdings, Inc. dated October 15, 2001, as amended by that certain Amendment to Employment Agreement dated December 31, 2008 (as so amended, the “Employment Agreement”).  Mr. Tuchman also acknowledged that his request was voluntary and that he is receiving nothing of value in substitution for his request.

 

A copy of Mr. Tuchman’s request letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference.  Further information about the Employment Agreement is provided in TeleTech Holdings, Inc.’s Proxy Statement for the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2011 under “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and “Executive Compensation—Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control—Employment Agreements”.
