     ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 1, 2006--Premiere Global Services, Inc.
(NYSE: PGI), a global outsource provider of business process solutions, today
confirmed receipt of notice from Crescendo Partners II, L.P., Series E of its
intention to nominate two members to Premiere Global's Board of Directors and
its proposal to amend the Company's Bylaws at the Company's 2007 Annual Meeting
of Shareholders.

     The Company has a long standing policy of open communications with
shareholders and welcomes input toward the goal of improving long-term value,
but saw Crescendo's press release and received Crescendo's letter without having
had any prior contact from Crescendo or one of its representatives.

     The Company does not intend to make a recommendation on Crescendo's
nominees or proposal at this time and will present its formal recommendation in
its definitive proxy statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The Company has not yet scheduled its 2007 annual meeting.

     The Company noted that Premiere Global's Board of Directors is comprised of
a super-majority of independent directors and highly-qualified and proven
executive leaders. Premiere Global's Board and management team are focused on
creating value for its shareholders through the continued execution of its
business plan.
