Exploration of Strategic Alternatives for TTEC Digital
Current report
On August 10, 2026, TTEC announced that its Board of Directors authorized management to evaluate potential strategic alternatives for its TTEC Digital business to best position it to realize its full growth potential and maximize shareholder value. While the Board is prepared to consider a range of alternatives, it will prioritize transactions that sustain and enhance the continued commercial collaboration and innovation between TTEC Engage and TTEC Digital.
Current report
PJT Partners is serving as an independent financial advisor to TTEC in connection with the review of strategic alternatives.

There can be no assurance that this process will result in any particular transaction or outcome.

Income Taxes
Current report
On August 7, 2026, we entered into the Eleventh Amendment to our Credit Agreement, which reduced our revolving credit facility commitment to $975.0 million, increased the SOFR credit margin from 3.00% to 3.25% through September 30, 2026, and from 6.00% to 6.25% thereafter, expanded the collateral and guarantee package (including certain assets of certain foreign subsidiaries and equity interests therein), and imposed additional restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, dispositions, acquisitions, and restricted payments. At the same time, the Eleventh Amendment eased certain of our financial covenants, increasing the maximum permitted net leverage ratio to up to 4.25 in fiscal 2026 and up to 4.00 in fiscal 2027 and reducing the minimum required interest coverage ratio to 2.00 in fiscal 2027, which we believe provides additional covenant compliance headroom necessary to operate the business.
Current report
The Company’s actual net leverage ratio of 3.85 as of June 30, 2026 exceeded the 3.75 maximum net leverage ratio then applicable to the quarter under the Tenth Amendment. To secure compliance with net leverage ratio for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, on July 15, 2026, prior to finalizing our financial statements for the quarter, we obtained a waiver, of the maximum net leverage ratio covenant for the quarter.
Current report
We are also in discussions with our lender group regarding a potential extension of the maturity of the Credit Facility beyond 2027. We believe these amended terms, together with the covenant relief described above, will support our liquidity and covenant compliance over the next twelve months.
Removed paragraphs (1)
Previous report
The Company believes that the Tenth Amendment to the Credit Facility provides additional liquidity and flexibility to support ongoing operations in the short term. The increased pricing, reduced size of the Credit Facility, and more restrictive covenants may limit the Company’s ability to pursue certain strategic initiatives, including acquisitions. Management expects to continue to monitor the credit markets and, it is actively seeking alternative credit arrangements designed to provide the Company with greater flexibility. Pending any refinancing of the Credit Facility, management will continue to evaluate the impact of these changes on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

**Redomestication to Texas.**As part of its 2026 Annual Meeting, the Company is seeking approval from its stockholders to redomesticate to Texas from the Company’s current state of incorporation in Delaware. The TTEC Board’s determined that the redomestication to Texas is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

The Company and its Board believe that the redomestication is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders because of the Company's strong operational nexus to the state of Texas and because the Company believes that the move would reduce the potential for opportunistic and frivolous litigation, reduce operational costs for the Company, while preserving and potentially even enhancing shareholder rights and providing operational flexibility.

We expect total capital expenditures in 2026 to be between 1.8% and 2.0% of revenue. Approximately 60% of these expected capital expenditures are to support growth in our business and 40% relate to the maintenance for existing assets.

Previous wording
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, one of our clients represented more than 10% of our total revenue. Our five largest clients, collectively, accounted for 33.4% and 31.2% of our consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We have had long-term relationships with our top five TTEC Engage clients, ranging from 6 to 26 years, with all of these clients having completed multiple contract renewals with us. The relative contribution of any single client to consolidated earnings is not always proportional to the relative revenue contribution on a consolidated basis and varies greatly based upon specific contract terms. In addition, clients may adjust business volumes served by us based on their business requirements. We believe the risk of this concentration is mitigated, in part, by the long-term contracts we have with our largest clients. Although certain client contracts may be terminated for convenience by either party, we believe this risk is mitigated, in part, by the service level disruptions and transition/migration costs that would arise for our clients if they terminated our contract for convenience.
