Shares of TTEC Holdings rose more than 40% in premarket trading Monday after the customer-experience technology and services company's controlling shareholder proposed taking it private.
TTEC on Monday said Kenneth Tuchman, its founder, chairman and chief executive, made a preliminary, non-binding proposal to buy the shares of the Greenwood Village, Colo., company he doesn't already own for $6.85 apiece, a 69% premium to Friday's closing price of $4.05.
TTEC shares were recently changing hands at $5.69, up more than 40%, in premarket trading.
TTEC said its board has formed a special committee of independent directors that will evaluate the proposal from Tuchman, who beneficially owns about 58% of TTEC's common stock.
