Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

Upon stockholder approval of the StarTek, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”), as described below under Item 5.02, the Company terminated the StarTek, Inc. Stock Option Plan and the StarTek, Inc. Directors’ Stock Option Plan (collectively, the “Prior Plans”). No further awards will be made under the Prior Plans as of May 5, 2008.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements for Certain Officers.

On May 5, 2008, at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2008 Plan, which previously had been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The 2008 Plan became effective on May 5, 2008.

The Company’s Compensation Committee will administer the 2008 Plan. The types of awards that may be granted under the 2008 Plan include incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, and other stock-based awards. The total number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for distribution under the 2008 Plan is 900,000, plus any shares remaining available as of May 5, 2008 for future grants under the Prior Plans, subject to adjustment for future stock splits, stock dividends and similar changes in the Company’s capitalization. The aggregate number of shares subject to options and stock appreciation rights granted during any calendar year to any one participant shall not exceed 750,000, and no participant may be granted performance-based compensation in any calendar year with respect to more than 300,000 shares or, for awards denominated in cash, $2 million. Shares subject to an award that is forfeited, expires, or is settled for cash, or shares tendered to the Company or retained by the Company in settlement of an award will become available for issuance under the 2008 Plan. Except for certain permitted adjustments to account for changes in the Company’s capitalization, the Compensation Committee may not re-price any options or stock appreciation rights without stockholder approval.

Upon termination of service for cause, all unexercised options and stock appreciation rights and all unvested portions of any other outstanding awards will immediately be forfeited without consideration. Upon termination of service for any other reason, all unvested and unexercisable portions of any outstanding awards will be immediately forfeited without consideration. Upon termination of service for any reason other than cause, death or disability, the currently vested and exercisable portions of awards may be exercised within three months of the date of termination. Upon termination of service due to death or disability, the currently vested and exercisable portions of awards may be exercised within six months of termination. All of the foregoing provisions may be changed if expressly provided for in an individual award agreement.

This summary of the 2008 Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2008 Plan. A copy of the 2008 Plan and forms of the equity award agreements to be issued pursuant thereto are filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein. A more detailed summary of the 2008 Plan can be found in the Company’s proxy statement for its 2008 annual meeting of stockholders filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 2008.
