Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On November 30, 2007, TeleTech Holdings, Inc. entered into a Second Amendment Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of September 28, 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”) with the lender parties thereto (the “Lenders”), KeyBank National Association, as lead arranger, sole book runner and administrative agent and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as syndication agent. The Credit Agreement is a revolving credit facility which permits the Company to borrow up to $180 million from the Lenders.
As disclosed in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 9, 2007, the Company’s Audit Committee is conducting a self-initiated review of the Company’s accounting for equity-based compensation practices. Until the review is complete, the Company is not able to prepare and deliver to the Lenders financial statements in accordance with GAAP, as required by the Credit Agreement. The Company was also not able to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 (the “Delayed 10-Q”).
The Second Amendment, which, by agreement, was made effective as of November 15, 2007, permits the Company to deliver its financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007 to the Lenders by March 31, 2008. The Lenders also consented to (i) the filing of the Delayed 10-Q with the SEC on or before March 31, 2008, (ii) the restatement of the Company’s previously issued financial statements, if necessary, and (iii) the NASDAQ Staff Determination Letter with respect to the possible delisting of the Company’s common stock from the NASDAQ Global Market due to the Delayed 10-Q. The Lenders’ consent is conditioned such that after giving effect to the terms of the Second Amendment and the foregoing consent, no other default or event of default may exist under the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Company may be required to pay the Lenders higher interest for past periods to the extent a higher rate would have been applicable under the Credit Agreement based on the Company’s restated financial statements for the relevant prior periods, if such restatements occur.
As a result of the Second Amendment, there is presently no basis for the Lenders to declare an event of default under the Credit Agreement and the Company may continue to borrow funds thereunder. However, if the Company fails to deliver the required financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007 and file the Delayed 10-Q with the SEC by March 31, 2008, the Lenders may declare an event of default under the Credit Agreement, terminate their commitment to lend to the Company and require that the Company immediately repay all amounts then outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
A copy of the Second Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
