$25 Million Added to Current Repurchase Program

ENGLEWOOD, CO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/23/09 -- TeleTech Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEC), one of the largest and most geographically diverse global providers of business process outsourcing ("BPO") solutions, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved an increase of $25 million in the funding available for share repurchases.

This authorization brings the total amount available for repurchase to $35.4 million from the $10.4 million that was still available for share repurchases under the previous authorization approved by the Board in July 2008. TeleTech repurchased $89.6 million of its own shares during 2008.

"The Board's approval of this additional funding for repurchases reflects its confidence in our long-term growth prospects given our position as a BPO industry leader," said Kenneth Tuchman, chairman and chief executive officer. "TeleTech's strong balance sheet and robust cash flow from operations allow us to continue our commitment to maximizing shareholder value by repurchasing stock while also continuing to invest in the company's growth."

The stock repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date, and the pace of repurchase activity will depend on factors such as levels of cash generation from operations, current stock price, and other factors.
