     Premiere Global and Crescendo Partners Reach Agreement

    ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 19, 2007--Premiere Global
Services, Inc. (NYSE:PGI), a global provider of on-demand
communication technologies-based business process improvement
solutions, and various parties affiliated with Crescendo Partners II,
L.P., Series E ("Crescendo Partners") today announced that they have
reached an agreement relating to Premiere Global's 2007 Annual Meeting
of Shareholders.

    Under the terms of the agreement, Premiere Global will commence a
$150 million self-tender offer by April 25, 2007 to acquire up to
11,857,707 shares of common stock, or approximately 17% of the
Company's outstanding shares, at a fixed price of $12.65 per share in
cash. The offer price represents a premium of approximately 10% above
the average closing stock price over the last ten trading days.

    The Company has also agreed to recommend that shareholders approve
at the 2007 Annual Meeting a proposal to declassify its Board of
Directors. If the proposal is approved, commencing in 2008 each of the
directors will be elected for a one-year term and stand for
re-election annually thereafter.

    The Company also announced that W. Steven Jones and J. Walker
Smith, Jr. will serve as the Board's director candidates for election
at the 2007 Annual Meeting. In a separate announcement today, the
Company appointed Mr. Jones, Dean of Kenan-Flagler Business School of
the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, as a Class I director
to fill a vacancy on the Board. Mr. Smith, President of Yankelovich,
Inc., a market services company specializing in database marketing
solutions and consumer lifestyles consulting, has served as a director
of Premiere Global since 2001.

    As part of the settlement, Crescendo Partners has withdrawn its
proxy contest and certain activities related to the Company's 2007
Annual Meeting and has agreed to vote its shares in favor of the
Board's nominees and proposals at the 2007 Annual Meeting. Crescendo
Partners has also agreed to certain standstill provisions until the
earlier of the Company's 2008 Annual Meeting and June 30, 2008,
however the standstill provisions do not preclude Crescendo Partners
from nominating up to two directors for election to the Board in
connection with the 2008 Annual Meeting.

    "We remain committed to open communication with all of our
shareholders," said Boland T. Jones, Founder, Chairman and CEO of
Premiere Global Services, Inc. "We believe in the long-term value of
our Company, and we are excited to resume and accelerate the
repurchase of our shares, which has been an integral part of our
investment strategy for a number of years. We are pleased that this
matter has been resolved in a manner that serves the best interests of
all shareholders."

    Eric Rosenfeld, CEO and Managing Member of Crescendo Partners,
said, "We are pleased to be able to work constructively with Premiere
Global with the shared goal of enhancing value for all shareholders."
