Item 5.02.   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(e) Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On September 17, 2008, Kenneth D. Tuchman, TeleTech’s Chief Executive Officer, and James E. Barlett, TeleTech’s Vice Chairman, unilaterally offered to increase the exercise price of certain outstanding stock options that had mistakenly been issued with exercise prices that were below the fair market value of TeleTech’s common stock on the appropriate accounting measurement date. The offers to amend were approved and accepted by TeleTech’s Compensation Committee on September 17, 2008. Messrs. Tuchman and Barlett had previously volunteered to forego any benefits from measurement date errors identified in TeleTech’s review of equity-based accounting practices, as disclosed in TeleTech’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 20, 2008.
Mr. Tuchman offered to amend outstanding stock options to purchase 420,000 shares of common stock that were issued on October 1, 2001 by increasing the exercise price from $6.98 to $7.95 per share. Mr. Tuchman did not receive any remuneration in exchange for the increase in the exercise price of the stock options. All other terms of the stock options, which are fully vested, remain the same.
Mr. Barlett offered to amend outstanding stock options to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock that were issued on May 13, 2005 by increasing the exercise price from $7.34 to $7.79 per share. Mr. Barlett did not receive any remuneration in exchange for the increase in the exercise price of the stock options. All other terms of the stock options, including the vesting schedule, remain the same. As of the date of the amendment (September 17, 2008), options to purchase 187,500 shares have vested and options to purchase 62,500 shares are scheduled to vest on May 13, 2009.
