This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this "Amendment") with respect
to West TeleServices Corporation (the "Company") is being filed by Mr. Gary L.
West, Ms. Mary E. West and Mr. Troy L. Eaden (collectively, the "Reporting
Persons"), to amend the Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") originally filed by
the Reporting Persons on July 24, 1998. Capitalized terms used but not defined
herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Schedule 13D.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 3 of Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following new
paragraphs at the end of such item:
On August 18, 1998, the Reporting Persons withdrew their proposal to
acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company not
currently owned by the Reporting Persons, after being informed by the Special
Committee appointed by the Company's Board of Directors that the Special
Committee would not be able to recommend the Reporting Persons' final proposal
of $15.50 per share. Based on the Special Committee's decision, the Reporting
Persons have withdrawn their proposal and terminated all discussions with the
Company relating to their proposal.
The Reporting Persons intend to review continuously their investment
in the Company. In reaching any decision with respect to such investment, the
Reporting Persons will take into consideration various factors, such as the
Company's business and prospects, other developments concerning the Company,
other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons and economic
and market conditions. Depending upon the results of their review of such
factors, the Reporting Persons may decide to purchase (on such terms and at such
times as they consider desirable) additional Common Stock of the Company, or
dispose of all or a portion of such Common Stock (whether now or hereafter
held).
