Table of Contents
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The following description of certain terms of our capital stock does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety
by reference to, our restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), our amended and restated bylaws, as amended (the "Bylaws"), and the applicable provisions
of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"). For more information on how you can obtain the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws, see "Where You Can Find More
Information."
General
Under the Certificate of Incorporation, we are authorized to issue up to 150,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and
10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of June 30, 2019, there were 46,386,727 shares of common stock outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.
Common Stock
The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders. Stockholders may not
cumulate their votes in the election of directors. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such
dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. In 2015, our Board of Directors adopted a dividend policy, with the intent to
distribute a periodic cash dividend to stockholders of our common stock, after consideration of, among other things, TTEC's performance, cash flows from operations, capital needs and liquidity
factors. The Company paid the initial dividend in 2015 and has continued to pay a semi-annual dividend in October and April of each year.
In
the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of TTEC, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to
prior distribution rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding. The common stock has no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund
provisions applicable to the common stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
Preferred Stock
Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue our preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting
any series or the designation of such series, without further vote or action by the stockholders. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in
control of TTEC without further action by the stockholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock. Holders of preferred stock may be entitled to receive
dividends (other than dividends of common stock) before any dividends are payable to holders of common stock.
The
prospectus supplement relating to any preferred stock being offered will include specific terms relating to the offering.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law
Delaware Law.
TTEC is subject to the "business combination" provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In
general,
such provisions prohibit a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in various "business combination" transactions with any interested
6
Table of Contents
stockholder
for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless:
-
-
the business combination transaction or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder is approved by the
Board of Directors prior to the date the interested stockholder obtained such status;
-
-
upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the stockholder owned at least 85%
of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for the purpose of determining the number of shares outstanding those shares owned by the
corporation's officers and directors and by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be
tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
-
-
on or subsequent to such date the business combination is approved by the Board of Directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of
stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least 66
2
/
3
% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.
A
"business combination" is defined to include mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in financial benefit to a stockholder. In general, an "interested stockholder" is a
person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years, did own) 15% or more of a corporation's voting stock. The statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or
change in control attempts with respect to TTEC and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire TTEC even though such a transaction may offer TTEC's stockholders the opportunity to sell their
stock at a price above the prevailing market price.
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.
Various provisions contained in the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws could delay or
discourage
stockholder actions with respect to transactions involving an actual or potential change of control of us or a chance in our management and may limit the ability of our stockholders to remove current
management or approve transactions that our stockholders may deem to be in their best interests. Among other things, these provisions:
-
-
provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board of Directors or by the
Chief Executive Officer of our company and not by the stockholders;
-
-
provide that any stockholder wishing to nominate persons for election as directors at, or bring other business before, an annual meeting must
deliver to our secretary advance written notice of the stockholder's intention to do so;
-
-
establish that state courts located within the State of Delaware (or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction,
the federal district court for the District of Delaware) are the sole and exclusive forum for certain disputes;
-
-
provide that the Board of Directors may, by resolution adopted by a majority of the directors, increase or decrease the number of directors on
the Board so long as the number of directors is not less than two nor more than eleven;
-
-
do not permit cumulative voting for directors; and
-
-
provide that vacancies in our Board of Directors may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors.

expect most debt securities to be issued in fully registered form without coupons and in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. Subject to the limitations provided in
the indenture and in the prospectus supplement, debt securities that are issued in registered form may be transferred or exchanged at the corporate office of the trustee or the principal corporate
trust office of the trustee, without the payment of any service charge, other than any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
If
specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, certain of our subsidiaries will guarantee the debt securities. The particular terms of any guarantee will be described in the
related prospectus supplement.
Governing Law
The indentures and the debt securities will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.

DESCRIPTION OF PURCHASE CONTRACTS
We may issue purchase contracts for the purchase or sale of:
-
-
debt or equity securities issued by us or securities of third parties, a basket of such securities, an index or indices of such securities or
any combination of the above as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement;
-
-
currencies; or
-
-
commodities.
Each
purchase contract will entitle the holder thereof to purchase or sell, and obligate us to sell or purchase, on specified dates, such securities, currencies or commodities at a
specified purchase price, which may be based on a formula, all as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may, however, satisfy our obligations, if any, with respect to any purchase
contract by delivering the cash value of such purchase contract or the cash value of the property otherwise deliverable or, in the case of purchase contracts on underlying currencies, by delivering
the underlying currencies, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will also specify the methods by which the holders may purchase or sell such
securities, currencies or commodities and any acceleration, cancellation or termination provisions or other provisions relating to the settlement of a purchase contract.
The
purchase contracts may require us to make periodic payments to the holders thereof or vice versa, which payments may be deferred to the extent set forth in the applicable prospectus
supplement, and those payments may be unsecured or prefunded on some basis. The purchase contracts may require the holders thereof to secure their obligations in a specified manner to be described in
the applicable prospectus supplement. Alternatively, purchase contracts may require holders to satisfy their obligations thereunder when the purchase contracts are issued. Our obligation to settle
such pre-paid purchase contracts on the relevant settlement date may constitute indebtedness. Accordingly, pre-paid purchase contracts will be issued under an indenture.

negotiated transactions;

underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of such series of securities, if any are purchased.
We
and/or the selling stockholder, if applicable, may sell the securities through agents from time to time. The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of
the securities and any commissions we pay to them. Generally, any agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
We
and/or the selling stockholder, if applicable, may authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain purchasers to purchase the securities from TTEC at the public
offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts will be subject only to
those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions we pay for solicitation of these contracts.

if applicable, against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or to contribution with respect to payments which the
underwriters or agents may be required to make. Underwriters and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for TTEC and its affiliates in the ordinary course of
business.

The

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other
employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any
threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent to the
registrant. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement,
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Article Eight of the registrant's restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation") and
Article VII of the registrant's amended and restated bylaws, as amended (the "Bylaws") each provides for indemnification by the registrant of its directors, officers and employees to the
fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Section 102(b)(7)
of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be
personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful
payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or
other distributions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Certificate of Incorporation provides for such limitation of liability.
The
registrant maintains standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (a) to its directors and officers against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach
of duty or other wrongful act, and (b) to the registrant with respect to payments which may be made by the registrant to such officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification
provision or otherwise as a matter of law. The registrant has entered into an indemnification agreement with each of its directors.

Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which,
II-2
Table of Contents
individually
or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2) That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To
remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That,
for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
(i) Each
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus
was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii) Each
prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to
an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to
be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in
the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a
new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Provided, however
, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of
the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a
purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration
statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
(5) That,
for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned
registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration
II-3
Table of Contents
statement,
regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications,
the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to the purchaser:
(i) Any
preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any
free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The
portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided
by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any
other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(6) The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of
Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.
(7) The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d)
of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
(8) Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to
the provisions described under Item 15 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
