EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amended Statement on Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”), the third amendment to the April 10, 2019 Schedule 13D as amended on December 26, 2019 and January 17, 2020 (as so amended, the “13D”), is being jointly filed by Kenneth D. Tuchman, KDT Stock Revocable Trust (the “Trust”), KDT Family, LLLP (the “Limited Partnership”) and Mantucket Capital Management Corporation (the “General Partner,” and together with Mr. Tuchman, the Trust and the Limited Partnership, the “Reporting Persons”) and relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of TTEC Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”).

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the initial 13D.

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

Item 1 of the 13D is hereby amended by amending and restating the last sentence thereof as follows:

The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 6312 South Fiddler’s Green Circle, Suite 100N, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 of the 13D is hereby supplemented to include the following information at the end of Item 3:

The Reporting Persons have not obtained any financing commitment or agreed to any financing terms regarding the transactions contemplated by the Proposal (as defined below). Third party financing for the transactions contemplated by the Proposal is subject to negotiation, and the Reporting Persons can provide no assurances that they will be able obtain financing or negotiate definitive agreements with respect to financing on terms acceptable to them.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the 13D is hereby supplemented to include the following information at the end of Item 4:

On September 27, 2024, Mr. Tuchman delivered a non-binding proposal to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock not already owned by the Reporting Persons for cash consideration at a purchase price of $6.85 per share of Common Stock (the “Proposal”).

In the Proposal, Mr. Tuchman indicated his expectation that the Board will establish and empower a special committee consisting solely of independent and disinterested directors (the “Special Committee”) and delegate to the Special Committee the authority to evaluate and negotiate the Proposal and any other matters the disinterested members of the Board may determine to delegate to the Special Committee.

The Proposal specifies that any Reporting Person’s entrance into a binding agreement with respect to the Proposal will be conditioned upon, among other things, negotiation and execution of a mutually satisfactory binding agreement with respect to the Proposal, as well as the receipt by the Reporting Persons of equity and/or debt financing commitments in an amount and on terms acceptable to the Reporting Persons.

The Proposal also states that the Reporting Persons will only pursue a transaction that is expressly conditioned on the procedures described in Kahn v. M&F Worldwide Corp. and its progeny under Delaware law. Any potential transaction would (among other things) have to be (1) approved by a fully empowered special committee consisting solely of independent and disinterested directors and (2) subject to a non-waivable condition requiring the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock that are not owned by the Reporting Persons or their affiliates and associates or Company executive management.

 

The foregoing description of the Proposal does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Proposal, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.

While the Proposal remains under consideration by the Special Committee, the Reporting Persons and their representatives expect to pursue discussions with potential financing sources to provide committed financing for the Proposal, and to respond to inquiries from and engage in negotiations with the Special Committee and its independent legal and financial advisors regarding the Proposal.

The Proposal may result in one or more of the transactions, events or actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including an acquisition of additional securities of the Company, an extraordinary corporate transaction (such as a merger) involving the Company, delisting of the Common Stock from the NASDAQ and other material changes in the Company’s business or corporate structure.

No assurances can be given that a definitive agreement regarding a Proposal will be reached or that the transaction contemplated by the Proposal or any other potential transaction involving any of the Reporting Persons or their affiliates and the Company will be consummated, or if a transaction is undertaken, as to its ultimate terms or timing. The Proposal is non-binding and the Reporting Persons reserve the right to modify or withdraw the Proposal at any time. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to formulate other plans or make other proposals which could result in one or more of the transactions, events or actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, and to modify or withdraw any such plan or proposal at any time. If the transaction contemplated by the Proposal is not consummated, the Reporting Persons will continue to review their investment in the Company on a continuing basis and may in the future take or propose to take such actions with respect to their investment in the Company as they deem appropriate.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 of the 13D is hereby supplemented to incorporate by reference the information set forth in Item 4 above.

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

Item 7 of the 13D is hereby supplemented by adding the following exhibit:
