SCHEDULE 13D
 
Reference is hereby made to the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Schedule 13D”) on behalf of Privet Fund LP, Privet Fund Management LLC, Ryan Levenson and Ben Rosenzweig (collectively with Privet Fund LP, Privet Fund Management LLC and Ryan Levenson, the “Privet Parties”) and A. Emmet Stephenson, Jr. and Toni E. Stephenson (collectively, the “Stephensons,” and together with the Privet Parties, the “Reporting Persons”) on May 9, 2011, with respect to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) of StarTek, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are used as defined in the Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons hereby amend and supplement the Schedule 13D as follows.
 
Item 3.                  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 
Item 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
 
The aggregate purchase price of the 598,800 shares of Common Stock held by Privet Fund LP is approximately $2,036,829, including brokerage commissions. The shares held by Privet Fund LP were acquired with partnership funds. Privet Fund LP effects purchases of securities primarily through margin accounts maintained for it with prime brokers, which may extend margin credit to it as and when required to open or carry positions in the margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules, and the prime brokers’ credit policies. In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the accounts.
 
The aggregate purchase price of the 35,196 shares of Common Stock held by Privet Fund Management LLC is approximately $76,909, including brokerage commissions. The shares held by Privet Fund Management LLC were funded with assets under separately managed accounts with Privet Fund Management LLC.
 
The aggregate purchase price of 7,754 shares of Common Stock held by Ben Rosenzweig is approximately $32,600, including brokerage commissions. These shares were acquired with personal funds. The remaining 7,874 shares held by Mr. Rosenzweig are restricted shares granted to Mr. Rosenzweig by the Company as director compensation.
 
A. Emmet Stephenson, Jr. is a co-founder of the Company. The Stephensons have held the shares of Common Stock owned by them since the Companys founding in 1987.
 
Item 5.                  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
 
(a)           As of the close of business on March 9, 2012, the aggregate number and percentage of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons collectively is 4,267,662 shares (the “Shares”), or approximately 28% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company (calculated based on information included in the Form 10-Q filed by the Company for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2011, which reported that 15,259,097 shares of Common Stock were outstanding as of October 15, 2011).
 
 
 

 
 
SCHEDULE 13D
 
CUSIP No.  1-12793
 
Page 9 of 14 Pages    
 
Of the Shares collectively owned by the Reporting Persons, Privet Fund Management LLC and Ryan Levenson beneficially own 633,996 Shares (or approximately 4.2% of the outstanding Common Stock), which includes 35,196 Shares held by Privet Fund Management through separately managed accounts and 598,800 Shares held by Privet Fund LP.  Privet Fund LP holds 598,800 Shares (or approximately 3.9% of the outstanding Common Stock).  Ben Rosenzweig holds 15,628 Shares (or approximately 0.1% of the outstanding Common Stock).  A. Emmet Stephenson Jr. holds 2,914,382 Shares (or approximately 19.1% of the outstanding Common Stock). Toni E. Stephenson holds 703,656 Shares (or approximately 4.6% of the outstanding Common Stock).  For further information, see paragraph (b) below and the cover pages hereto, which are hereby incorporated by reference.

To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the other persons or entities, if any, named in response to Item 2 owns any Common Stock (other than Common Stock owned by the Reporting Persons of which one or more of such other persons may be deemed to have beneficial ownership pursuant to Rule 13d-3).

(b)           Privet Fund Management LLC is the Managing Partner of Privet Fund LP, and Ryan Levenson is the sole managing member of Privet Fund Management LLC. Accordingly, Privet Fund Management LLC and Mr. Levenson may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to the Shares held by Privet Fund LP, and Mr. Levenson may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to the Shares held by Privet Fund Management LLC.

(c)           Except as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, no transactions in the Common Stock were effected during the past 60 days by the Reporting Persons, or, to the best of the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, by any of the other persons named in response to Item 2.
 
(d)           Except as set forth (i) on the cover pages hereto and (ii) under paragraphs (a) and (b) above, each Reporting Person has the sole power to vote or direct the vote and, subject to the terms of the margin arrangement referenced in Item 3 above, to dispose or direct the disposition of the Shares reported herein as owned by each such Reporting Person.
 
 (e)           On March 9, 2012, the Reporting Persons terminated their Joint Filing Agreement (see Item 6) and their agreement to participate as members of a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”).  As a result, the Privet Parties and Toni E. Stephenson ceased to be beneficial owners of more than five percent of the Common Stock. Subsequent to the date of this Schedule 13D, each Reporting Person will be individually responsible for the timely filing of any required reports regarding his, her or its beneficial ownership of the Common Stock.
 
Item 6.                 Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
 
Item 6 is hereby amended to include the following:
 
The Reporting Persons were previously parties to a Joint Filing Agreement, dated April 28, 2011 (the “Joint Filing Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to jointly file with the Securities and Exchange Commission the Schedule 13D and any and all amendments thereto.  The Reporting Persons terminated the Joint Filing Agreement and their agreement to participate as members of a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act by entering into a Termination Agreement, dated March 9, 2012 (the “Termination Agreement”).  The Termination Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.  Any descriptions herein of the Termination Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Termination Agreement.
