GENPACT LIMITED

        We manage business processes for companies around the world. We combine our process expertise, information technology expertise and analytical capabilities, together with operational insight derived from our experience in diverse industries, to provide a wide range of services using our global delivery platform. Our goal is to help our clients improve the ways in which they do business by continuously improving their business processes, including through the application of Six Sigma and Lean principles and by leveraging technology. We strive to be a seamless extension of our clients' operations.

        We have a unique heritage. We built our business by meeting the demands of the leaders of the General Electric Company, or GE, to increase the productivity of their businesses. We began in 1997 as the India-based captive business process services operation for General Electric Capital Corporation, or GE Capital, GE's financial services business. As the value of offshore outsourcing was demonstrated to the management of GE, it became a widespread practice at GE and our business grew in size and scope. We took on a wide range of complex and critical processes and we became a significant provider to many of GE's businesses, including Consumer Finance (now GE Money), Commercial Finance, Insurance, Healthcare, Industrial, NBC Universal and GE's corporate offices.

        Our leadership team, our methods and our culture have been deeply influenced by our eight years as a captive operation of GE. Many elements of GE's success—the rigorous use of metrics and analytics, the relentless focus on improvement, a strong emphasis on the client and innovative human resources practices—are the foundations of our business.

        We became an independent company at the beginning of 2005 and since that time we have grown rapidly, continued to expand our range of services and diversified our client base. Since January 1, 2005, we have entered into contracts with more than 35 new clients in a variety of industries, including banking and finance, insurance, manufacturing, transportation and healthcare. We have the benefit of a multi-year contract with GE that provides us with committed revenues through 2013. In addition, we have opportunities for expansion with many new clients.

        As of March 31, 2007, we have more than 26,500 employees, with operations in nine countries. In 2006, we had net revenues of $613.0 million, of which 25.8% was from clients other than GE, which we refer to as Global Clients.

Our Opportunity

        Globalization of the world's economy remains the most powerful economic trend of our lifetime. It is driven by expanding technology capabilities, more efficient global telecommunications, the relaxation of local laws and regulations that previously impeded cross-border trade and the recognition by business leaders that a highly skilled global workforce can be a competitive business advantage. These dynamics are creating an entirely new set of competitive challenges for companies around the world.

        Companies have been forced to focus on ways to improve productivity and manage costs more aggressively in order to maintain or enhance their competitive positions and increase shareholder value. As part of their response to these pressures, in recent years, business leaders began offshoring business processes to captive operations and outsourcing business processes to third parties, including sending such

1



processes offshore to workers in countries where wage levels were lower than those in North America and Europe. Initially, India became the primary destination for offshore business process outsourcing. However, as demand and the range of services have grown, other destinations have become increasingly important.

        Outsourcing initially focused on realizing immediate cost savings and involved labor-intensive processes such as call center services and data entry. The frequency with which these processes were outsourced increased as companies recognized that offshore service providers could run these processes more efficiently by recruiting and training skilled labor in larger numbers and at lower cost than was available in a company's home market.

        The use of information technology has also been an important catalyst for the growth of outsourcing. Before outsourcing business processes, companies more frequently outsourced IT operations. As companies realized benefits from outsourcing IT services, they became more willing to outsource other types of processes. At the same time, growth in the use of IT contributed to greater efficiencies in business processes and other productivity enhancements. As a result, knowledge of IT platforms and technology became increasingly important to effective business process management.

        According to International Data Corporation, or IDC, aggregate worldwide spending on IT and business process outsourcing, or BPO, services is estimated to be $934 billion for 2006. The NASSCOM-McKinsey report estimates the total addressable market for offshore IT and BPO services to be approximately $300 billion, of which only about 10% has been penetrated. The NASSCOM-McKinsey report projects that spending on offshore IT and BPO services will grow from $30 billion in 2005 to $110 billion in 2010, representing a compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, of 30%.

        This growth is a function of the increasing acceptance of outsourcing and the constantly expanding notions of what can be outsourced and the benefits that can be achieved. The services that are being outsourced today are much broader, and involve much higher valued functionality than originally outsourced, and include engineering, design, software programming, accounting, healthcare services, legal services, financial analysis, consulting activities and other services, and cut across all industries. Companies also look to achieve a wider range of objectives from outsourcing, and to generate business impact such as increased revenue, expanded margins, improved working capital management, increased customer satisfaction and enhancement of their competitive positions.

        Today, the willingness to outsource a broader array of business processes, from the relatively simple to the more critical and complex, and the fact that many business processes can be enhanced through the application of IT, has created an opportunity for service providers that have broad and deep capabilities, as well as expertise in both process operation and IT platforms. Companies that are ready to embrace the outsourcing of complex business processes are seeking service providers with a broad range of capabilities with which they can establish a strategic relationship that will grow over time. Many senior, or C-level, executives today consider the following factors when looking to collaborate with a service provider:

Our Solution

        We manage a wide range of business processes that address the transactional, managerial, reporting and planning needs of our clients. We seek to build long-term client relationships with companies that wish

2



to improve the ways in which they do business and to which we can offer a wide range of services. With our broad and deep capabilities and our global delivery platform, our goal is to deliver comprehensive solutions and continuous process improvement to clients around the world and across multiple industries.

Our Broad Expertise

        Our services include finance and accounting, collections and customer services, insurance, supply chain and procurement, analytics, enterprise application and IT infrastructure. Significant business impact can often best be achieved by redesigning and operating a combination of processes, as well as providing multiple services that combine elements of several of our service offerings. In offering our services, we draw on three core capabilities—process expertise, analytical ability and technology expertise—as well as the operational insight we have acquired from our experience managing thousands of processes in diverse industries.

        In addition, we believe that one of the factors that differentiates us from our competitors is the operational insight we have developed from our experience managing thousands of processes.

Our Strategic Client Model

        We seek to create long-term relationships with our clients where they view us as an integral part of their organization and not just as a service provider. To achieve this goal, we developed the Genpact Virtual CaptiveSM model for service delivery, and we may implement all or some of its features in any given client relationship, depending on the client's needs. Under this approach, we strive to be a seamless extension of our client's operations which involves providing the client with dedicated leadership,

3



infrastructure and employees who are trained in that client's culture. This helps us to provide more services to those clients, to integrate us further into their business and to establish us as a reliable and important strategic service provider.

Our Global Delivery Platform

        Clients with global operations have global needs. We deliver services from a global network of more than 25 locations in nine countries. Our service delivery locations, which we refer to as Delivery Centers, are in India, China, Hungary, Mexico, the Philippines, the Netherlands, Romania, Spain and the United States. Our presence in locations other than India provides us with multi-lingual capabilities, access to a larger employee pool and "near-shoring" capabilities to take advantage of time zones. With this network, we can manage complex processes in multiple geographic regions.

Our People and Culture

        We have an experienced and cohesive leadership team and a culture that emphasizes teamwork, constant improvement of our processes and, most importantly, dedication to the client. Many members of our leadership team developed their management skills working within GE and many of them were involved in the founding of our business. As of March 31, 2007, we have more than 26,500 employees including over 5,500 Six Sigma trained green-belts, 300 Six Sigma trained black-belts and 60 Six Sigma trained master black-belts, as well as more than 4,500 Lean trained employees.

        A key determinant of our success, especially as we continue to increase the scale of our business, is our ability to attract, train and retain employees in highly competitive labor markets. We manage this challenge through innovative human resources practices. These include broadening the employee pool by opening Delivery Centers in diverse locations, using creative recruiting techniques to attract the best talent, emphasizing ongoing training, instilling a vibrant and distinctive culture and providing well-defined long term career paths. We monitor and manage our attrition rate very closely, and believe our attrition rate is one of the lowest in the industry.

Our Strategy For Growth

        The specific elements of our strategy to grow our business include the following:

        Expand Relationships with Existing Clients.    We intend to deepen and expand relationships with our existing clients, including GE. Since our separation from GE, we have succeeded in forming more than 35 new Global Client relationships with major companies. Many of those relationships are at an early stage and we believe they offer significant opportunities for growth. As we demonstrate the value that we can provide, often with a discrete process, we are frequently able to expand the scope of our work in a variety of ways.

        Develop New Client Relationships.    In addition to expanding our existing client relationships, we plan to continue to develop new long-term client relationships, especially with those clients where we have an opportunity to deliver a wide range of our capabilities and have a meaningful impact on our clients' business.

        Continue To Promote Process Excellence.    Our ability to deliver continuous process improvement is an important part of the value that we deliver to our clients. We have built a significant repository of process expertise across a wide range of processes such as finance and accounting, supply chain, analytics and client service. Our process expertise is complemented by our ability to work across multiple technology platforms in diverse industries.

        Continue To Deepen Expertise and Global Capabilities.    We will continue to expand our capabilities globally as well as across industries and service offerings. While we expect this will occur primarily through organic growth, we also plan to evaluate strategic partnerships, alliances and acquisitions to expand into new services offerings as well as into new industries.

4



        Maintain Our Culture and Enhance Our Human Capital.    Our ability to grow our business will depend on our ability to continue to attract, train and retain large numbers of talented individuals. We will continue to develop innovative recruiting techniques and to emphasize learning throughout the tenure of an employee's career. We also believe that maintaining our vibrant and distinctive culture, in which we emphasize teamwork, continuous process improvement and dedication to the client, is critical to growing our business.

The Company

The 2004 Reorganization

        Prior to December 30, 2004, our business was conducted through various entities and divisions of GE. On December 30, 2004, in a series of transactions we refer to as the "2004 Reorganization," GE reorganized these operations by placing them all under Genpact Global Holdings SICAR S.à.r.l., or GGH, a newly formed Luxembourg entity. GE also sold an indirect 60% interest in GGH to Genpact Investment Co. (Lux) SICAR S.à.r.l., or GICo, an entity owned in equal portions by General Atlantic LLC, or General Atlantic, and Oak Hill Capital Partners, or Oak Hill. On December 16, 2005, GE sold a portion of its equity in us to a subsidiary of Wachovia Corporation. As of December 31, 2006, GE owned approximately 29% of our equity, after giving effect to the conversion of preferred stock but excluding shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options.

        Following the 2004 Reorganization, we began operating as an independent company. We separated ourselves operationally from GE and began building the capabilities necessary to be successful as an independent company. Among other things, we expanded our management infrastructure and business development capabilities so that we could secure business from clients other than GE. We substantially expanded administrative functions for which we had previously relied primarily on GE, such as finance, legal, accounting and human resources. We created separate employee benefit and retirement plans, developed our own leadership training capability and enhanced our management information systems.

The 2007 Reorganization

        On March 29, 2007, we formed Genpact Limited in Bermuda to be the new holding company for our business. It was initially a wholly-owned subsidiary of GGH. On July 13, 2007, we effectuated a transaction that resulted in Genpact Limited owning 100% of the capital stock of GGH. This transaction is referred to as the "2007 Reorganization." This transaction occurred by the shareholders of GGH exchanging their preferred and common shares in GGH for common shares in Genpact Limited. As a result, the only shares of Genpact Limited outstanding at effectiveness, and upon closing of the IPO, will be common shares. In addition, as part of the 2007 Reorganization, Genpact Global (Lux) S.à.r.l., or GGL, which owned approximately 63% of the outstanding equity of GGH, became a wholly owned subsidiary of Genpact Limited pursuant to a share exchange. GGL had no operations or assets other than its ownership interest in GGH, and had no liabilities other than obligations for accumulated dividends on preferred shares that were eliminated in the 2007 Reorganization and certain tax liabilities, estimated at less than $3.0 million, for which GE and GICo have agreed to indemnify us.

        As part of the 2007 Reorganization, our existing equity based compensation plans were assigned to Genpact Limited. As a result, all outstanding options issued under our existing equity based compensation plans became options to acquire common shares of Genpact Limited.

SUMMARY HISTORICAL FINANCIAL AND OPERATING DATA

        The table below provides a summary of our historical financial and certain operating data. Prior to December 30, 2004, our business was conducted through various entities and divisions that were wholly owned by GE. On December 30, 2004, in the 2004 Reorganization, GE transferred such operations to a newly-formed entity, GGH, and sold a 60% interest in GGH to General Atlantic and Oak Hill. Therefore, the financial data for these operations, or our predecessor, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, which are the periods prior to the 2004 Reorganization, are presented on a combined basis. The financial data as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 and for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, which are the periods after the 2004 Reorganization, are presented on a new basis of accounting and are not directly comparable to the data for 2002, 2003 and 2004.

        On March 29, 2007, we formed Genpact Limited in Bermuda to be the new holding company for our business. It was initially a wholly-owned subsidiary of GGH. On July 13, 2007, we effectuated a transaction that resulted in Genpact Limited owning 100% of the capital stock of GGH. This transaction is referred to as the "2007 Reorganization." The pro forma earnings per share information gives effect to the 2007 Reorganization as if it occured on January 1, 2006.

        The financial data as of and for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 are derived from our audited financial statements which are included in this prospectus (except for the December 31, 2004 balance sheet which is not included). The financial data as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2007 are derived from our unaudited financial statements which are included in this prospectus. The financial data as of and for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 are derived from the unaudited combined financial statements of the predecessor which are not included in this prospectus. All such financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe the quarterly information contains all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present this information. The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Seasonality."

        You should read this summary financial data together with the financial statements included herein as well as "Capitalization" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

Prior to the 2007 Reorganization, GGH had preferred shares and common shares outstanding. In the 2007 Reorganization, GGH became a subsidiary of Genpact Limited, and these shares were exchanged for Genpact Limited common shares. (The pro forma earnings per common share shows our earnings under our current capital structure as if the 2007 Reorganization took place on January 1, 2006. See note (2) below.)

The
GGH preferred shares were entitled to cumulative dividends which were not paid in cash and were accrued and added to accreted value. As a result, there is a net loss per common share for all periods shown. The GGH preferred shares were convertible at the option of the holder into common shares at rates based on the accreted value (including such dividends). The conversion of such preferred shares as well as the outstanding options on common shares would be anti-dilutive, and therefore such shares and options are not included in the calculation of dilutive net loss per share. The table below sets forth the reconciliation of net income to net loss to common stockholders. See also Note 20 to our consolidated financial statements.

As part of the 2007 Reorganization, GGL, which owned approximately 63% of GGH, became a subsidiary of Genpact Limited through a share exchange. GGL had no operations, no other assets and no liabilities (other than obligations for accumulated dividends on preferred shares which were eliminated and certain tax liabilities for which Genpact Limited has been indemnified by GE and GICo), and therefore its inclusion had no effect on our financial reporting. See "—The Company—The 2007 Reorganization."

RISK FACTORS

        Investing in our common shares involves substantial risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and other information in this prospectus before deciding to invest in our common shares. Any of the risks described below could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, in which case the trading price of our common shares could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment in our common shares. The section below also contains forward-looking statements. See "Forward-Looking Statements."

Risks Related to our Business

        We have a limited operating history as an independent company for you to evaluate.

        We ceased to be wholly-owned by GE on December 30, 2004. Accordingly, we have only a limited track record as an independent entity for you to evaluate. We may not be as successful in managing our operations on an independent basis as we were when we were part of GE. In addition, although we have begun to diversify our client base, our ability to develop and retain clients other than GE over an extended period of time has not been demonstrated.

        We may be unable to manage our growth effectively and maintain effective internal controls, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

        Since we became an independent company, we have experienced rapid growth and significant expansion and diversification of our operations, which has placed significant demands on our leadership team's time and our operational resources. Since December 30, 2004, we have incurred, and we continue to incur, substantial expenses to create the management infrastructure and other capabilities necessary to operate as a stand-alone business. From January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2006 our net revenues have grown approximately 43% and our number of employees has grown approximately 63%. As our revenues grow there can be no assurance that our margins will also grow. In order to manage growth effectively, we must implement and improve operational systems, procedures and internal controls on a timely basis. If we fail to implement these systems, procedures and controls on a timely basis, we may not be able to retain clients or obtain new business, hire and retain new employees, complete future acquisitions or operate our business effectively.

        GE accounts for a significant portion of our revenues and any loss of business from, or change in our relationship with, GE could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

        We have derived and are likely to continue to derive a significant portion of our revenues from GE. For 2005 and 2006, GE accounted for 91.4% and 73.9% of our revenues, respectively. In addition, our more mature client relationships, such as GE, typically generate higher margins than those from newer clients. The loss of business from GE could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

        Our master services agreement, or MSA, with GE commits GE to purchase, on an annual basis through 2013, a stipulated minimum dollar amount of services or pay us certain costs in lieu thereof. The costs which GE would be required to pay if it does not meet a minimum annual commitment are not necessarily equal to the amount by which GE's purchases fall short of that minimum annual commitment. While our revenues from GE in 2006 were $453.3 million, exceeding by $93.3 million the stipulated minimum annual amount for that year, there is no assurance that actual revenues from GE in future years will meet the minimum annual commitment or exceed it by as much as in 2006 or that GE will continue to be a client at all. Revenues in excess of the minimum annual commitment can be credited, subject to certain limitations, against shortfalls in subsequent years. In addition, the MSA provides that the minimum annual committed amount of $360 million will be reduced during the last three years of the term, to $270 million in 2011, $180 million in 2012 and $90 million in 2013. The MSA provides that the minimum

11



annual committed amount is subject to reduction in certain circumstances, including as a result of the termination of any statements of work, or SOWs, by GE for cause, non-performance of services by us due to specified force majeure events or certain other reasons. The MSA also does not require GE to engage us exclusively in respect of business process services.

        In addition, pricing terms and pricing levels under future SOWs may be lower than in the past. In particular, because of the size of GE and its importance to our business it is able to exert considerable leverage on us when negotiating the terms of SOWs.

        Our business from GE comes from a variety of GE's businesses and decisions to use our services are currently, as a general matter, made by a number of people within GE. Therefore, although some decisions may be made centrally at GE, the total level of business we receive generally depends on the decisions of the various operating managers of such businesses. In addition, if GE sells or divests any of the businesses to which we provide services, the new management or new owners of such businesses may choose to discontinue our services. Furthermore, following December 31, 2009, GE will no longer be subject to a contractual restriction with us on its ability to set up a separate business unit to provide English-language business process services from low-wage countries. There can be no assurance that GE will not establish such a separate business unit or otherwise compete with us at such time. While we were a captive operation of GE, GE followed a practice of granting to the business units that purchased our services a credit for financial measurement purposes designed to approximate the profit realized by our business on such services. We have been advised that this practice remains in effect for SOWs entered into prior to January 1, 2006 and is not in effect for SOWs entered into after such time. We have entered into new SOWs with most of the divisions of GE since the practice was discontinued. The discontinuation of this practice could affect whether and on what terms a GE business unit may enter into new SOWs in the future.

        To date, GE has been a significant shareholder of our company and it will beneficially own 23.2% of our common shares following this offering, assuming the over-allotment option of the underwriters is not exercised. It also has the right to nominate two directors to our board pursuant to a shareholders agreement with our other major shareholders. If GE's percentage of ownership of our common shares decreases in the future, there can be no assurance that GE will continue to contract for our services to the same extent or on the same terms.

        We may fail to attract and retain enough qualified employees to support our operations.

        Our industry relies on large numbers of skilled employees and our success depends on our ability to attract, train and retain a sufficient number of qualified employees. High employee attrition is common in our industry. See "Business—Our People." In 2006, our attrition rate for all employees who were employed for a day or more was approximately 32%. We cannot assure you that we will be able to reduce our level of attrition or even maintain our attrition rate at the 2006 level. If our attrition rate increases, our operating efficiency and productivity may decrease.

        Competition for qualified employees, particularly in India and China, has intensified significantly in recent years and we expect such competition to continue. We compete for employees not only with other companies in our industry but also with companies in other industries, such as software services, engineering services and financial services companies. In many locations in which we operate, there is a limited pool of employees who have the skills and training needed to do our work. If our business continues to grow, the number of people we will need to hire will increase. We will also need to increase our hiring if we are not able to maintain our attrition rate through innovative recruiting and retention policies. Increased competition for employees could have an adverse effect on our ability to expand our business and service our clients, as well as cause us to incur greater personnel expenses and training costs.

12



        Over the next few years we will lose certain tax benefits provided by India to companies in our industry and it is not clear whether new tax policies will provide equivalent benefits and incentives.

        Under the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961, our Delivery Centers in India, from which we derived the majority of our revenues in fiscal 2006, benefit from a ten-year holiday from Indian corporate income taxes in respect of their export income, as defined in the legislation. As a result of this tax holiday, we incurred minimal income tax expense with respect to our Indian operations in 2006 ($0.6 million) as well as in prior years. In the absence of this tax holiday, income derived from our Indian operations would be taxed up to the maximum tax rate generally applicable to Indian enterprises, which, as of December 31, 2006, was 33.66%. The tax holiday enjoyed by our Delivery Centers in India expires in stages, on March 31 in each of 2007 (in respect of approximately 35% of our Indian operations), 2008 (in respect of approximately 15% of our Indian operations) and 2009 (in respect of the balance of our Indian operations), depending in each case on when each Delivery Center commenced operations. As our Indian tax holiday expires, our Indian tax expense will materially increase and our after-tax profitability will be materially reduced, unless we can obtain comparable benefits under new legislation or otherwise reduce our tax liability. For the first quarter of 2007, our overall tax expense increased by $2.0 million as a result of the partial expiration of this holiday.

        The Special Economic Zones Act, 2005, or the SEZ legislation, introduced a new 15-year tax holiday scheme for operations established in designated "special economic zones" or SEZs. Under the SEZ legislation, qualifying operations are eligible for a deduction from taxable income equal to (i) 100% of their profits or gains derived for the first five years from the commencement of operations; (ii) 50% of those profits or gains for the next five years; and (iii) 50% of those profits or gains for a further five years, subject to satisfying certain capital investment requirements. The Finance Minister of India announced in the 2007-2008 budget on February 28, 2007 that the SEZ legislation will be amended to ensure that this holiday is available only for new business operations that are conducted at qualifying SEZ locations and would not be available to operations formed by splitting up or reconstructing existing operations or transferring existing technology infrastructure to new locations.

        We are currently in the process of establishing new centers, subject to regulatory approvals, that we expect to be eligible for the SEZ benefits. It is not clear, however, what percentage of our operations or income in India, if any, will be eligible for SEZ benefits, as this will depend on how much of our business can be conducted at the qualifying locations and on how much of that business can be considered to be new business under the SEZ legislation. Also, because this is new legislation, there is continuing uncertainty as to the interpretation of the required governmental and regulatory approvals. This uncertainty may delay development of our proposed SEZ locations.

        The SEZ legislation is currently a politically sensitive issue in India. The Ministry of Finance in India has expressed concern about potential tax revenues being lost as a result of the exemptions under the SEZ legislation. The SEZ legislation has been criticized on economic grounds by the International Monetary Fund and it has been suggested that the SEZ legislation may be challenged by the World Trade Organization. It is possible that, as a result of such political pressures, the procedure for obtaining the benefits of the SEZ legislation may become more onerous, that the types of land eligible for SEZ status will be further restricted or that the SEZ legislation will be amended or repealed.

        Accordingly, we currently do not expect that the benefits, if any, that we may derive under the SEZ legislation will be equivalent to the benefits we will gradually lose under the existing tax holiday. Consequently, we expect that our tax rate in India and our overall tax rate will increase over the next few years and that such increase is likely to be material and is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

        If the transfer pricing arrangements we have among our subsidiaries are determined to be inappropriate, our tax liability may increase.

        We have transfer pricing arrangements among our subsidiaries in relation to various aspects of our business, including operations, marketing, sales and delivery functions. U.S. and Indian transfer pricing

13



regulations, as well as regulations applicable in other countries in which we operate, require that any international transaction involving associated enterprises be on arm's-length terms. We consider the transactions among our subsidiaries to be on arm's-length terms. If, however, a tax authority in any jurisdiction reviews any of our tax returns and determines that the transfer prices and terms we have applied are not appropriate, or that other income of our affiliates should be taxed in that jurisdiction, we may incur increased tax liability, including accrued interest and penalties, which would cause our tax expense to increase, possibly materially, thereby reducing our profitability and cash flows.

        New tax legislation and the results of actions by taxing authorities may have an adverse effect on our operations and our overall tax rate.

        The Government of India has recently enacted a fringe benefit tax on the exercise of share options granted to employees based in India. This tax is payable by the issuer of the share options and recoverable at the option of the issuer from its employees. The implementation rules have not yet been enacted. We are analyzing the consequences of this tax upon our Indian operations, including the applicability to existing outstanding options. Depending upon the final rules, this tax may materially and adversely impact our results of operations, although it would not affect cash flow if fully recovered from employees.

        The Government of India may assert that certain of our clients have a "permanent establishment" in India by reason of the activities we perform on their behalf, particularly those clients that exercise control over or have substantial dependency on our services. Such an assertion could affect the size and scope of the services requested by such clients in the future.

        The Government of India has served notice on the Company about its potential liability, as a representative assessee of GE, for Indian tax upon GE's 2004 sale of shares of a predecessor of the Company. We believe that no Indian tax is due upon that sale and that, even if such a tax were due, it could not be successfully asserted against us as a representative assessee. Moreover GE is obligated to indemnify us against any tax on its 2004 sale of shares. We also believe that no Indian tax is due upon the sale of our shares in the IPO by our existing significant shareholders; that even if such a tax were due it could not be successfully asserted against us as a representative assessee of such a shareholder; and that we would have a statutory right under Indian law to recover any such tax from such a shareholder. We also believe that sales by non-Indian shareholders of our shares on the market after the IPO generally will not be subject to Indian tax, provided that the selling shareholder is not otherwise subject to tax in India.

        The Government of China recently enacted amendments to the tax laws applicable to our operations that would increase the applicable tax rate from 15% to 25%, subject to certain grandfathering provisions. Depending upon the final application of these proposals and the growth of our business in China, the effect on our overall tax rate could be material.

        Our ability to repatriate surplus earnings from our Delivery Centers in a tax-efficient manner is dependent upon interpretations of local laws, possible changes in such laws and the renegotiation of existing double tax avoidance treaties. Changes to any of these may adversely affect our overall tax rate, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

        Wage increases in the countries in which we have operations may prevent us from sustaining our competitive advantage and may reduce our profit margin.

        Salaries and related benefits of our employees are our most significant costs. Most of our employees are based in India and other countries in which wage levels have historically been significantly lower than wage levels in the United States and Western Europe for comparably skilled professionals, which has been one of our competitive advantages. However, wage levels for comparably skilled employees in most of the countries in which we operate have increased and further increases are expected at a faster rate than in the United States and Western Europe because of, among other reasons, faster economic growth, increased competition for skilled employees and increased demand for business process services. We will lose this competitive advantage to the extent that we are not able to control or share wage increases with our clients. Sharing wage increases may cause our clients to be less willing to utilize our services. In addition,

14



wage increases may reduce our margins. We will attempt to control such costs by our efforts to add capacity in locations where we consider wage levels of skilled personnel to be satisfactory, but we may not be successful in doing so. We may need to increase our wage levels significantly and rapidly in order to attract the quantity and quality of employees that are necessary for us to remain competitive, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

        Restrictions on entry visas may affect our ability to compete for and provide services to clients, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

        Our business depends on the ability of our employees to obtain the necessary visas and entry permits to do business in the countries where our clients and, in some cases, our Delivery Centers, are located. In response to recent terrorist attacks and global unrest, immigration authorities generally, and those in the United States in particular, have increased the level of scrutiny in granting visas. If further terrorist attacks occur then obtaining visas for our personnel may become even more difficult. Local immigration laws may also require us to meet certain other legal requirements as a condition to obtaining or maintaining entry visas. In addition, immigration laws are subject to legislative change and varying standards of application and enforcement due to political forces, economic conditions or other events, including terrorist attacks. If we are unable to obtain the necessary visas for our personnel who need to travel internationally, if the issuance of such visas is delayed or if the length of such visas is shortened, we may not be able to provide services to our clients or to continue to provide services on a timely and cost-effective basis, receive revenues as early as expected or manage our Delivery Centers as efficiently as we otherwise could, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

        Our senior leadership team is critical to our continued success and the loss of such personnel could harm our business.

        Our future success substantially depends on the continued service and performance of the members of our senior leadership team. These personnel possess business and technical capabilities that are difficult to replace. In particular, our Chief Executive Officer and other members of our senior leadership team have been involved in our business since its commencement under GE. Our employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer does not obligate him to work for us for any specified period, but does contain a limited non-compete clause and a non-solicitation clause should his employment terminate. If we lose key members of our senior leadership team, we may not be able to effectively manage our current operations or meet ongoing and future business challenges, and this may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

        We derive a significant portion of our revenues from clients in the United States. If events or conditions occur which adversely affect our ability to do business in the United States, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

        We currently derive, and are likely to continue to derive, a significant portion of our revenues from clients located in the United States. A number of factors could adversely affect our ability to do business in the United States, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. These factors include changes in economic conditions in the United States, declines in the value of the U.S. dollar against the Indian rupee, in which we incur the majority of our costs, or other currencies in which we incur costs or enactment of laws in the United States that impose restrictions on, or taxation or other financial penalties with respect to, offshore outsourcing.

        We typically face a long selling cycle to secure a new contract as well as long implementation periods that require significant resource commitments, which result in a long lead time before we receive revenues from new relationships.

        We typically face a long selling cycle to secure a new contract. If we are successful in obtaining an engagement, that is generally followed by a long implementation period in which the services are planned in detail and we demonstrate to a client that we can successfully integrate our processes and resources with their operations. During this time a contract is also negotiated and agreed. There is then a long ramping up period in order to commence providing the services.

15


        We typically incur significant business development expenses during the selling cycle. We may not succeed in winning a new client's business, in which case we receive no revenues and may receive no reimbursement for such expenses. Even if we succeed in developing a relationship with a potential new client and begin to plan the services in detail, a potential client may choose a competitor or decide to retain the work in-house prior to the time a final contract is signed. If we enter into a contract with a client, we will typically receive no revenues until implementation actually begins. Our clients may also experience delays in obtaining internal approvals or delays associated with technology or system implementations, thereby further lengthening the implementation cycle. We generally hire new employees to provide services to a new client once a contract is signed. We may face significant difficulties in hiring such employees and incur significant costs associated with these hires before we receive corresponding revenues. If we are not successful in obtaining contractual commitments after the selling cycle, in maintaining contractual commitments after the implementation cycle or in maintaining or reducing the duration of unprofitable initial periods in our contracts, it may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

        Our profitability will suffer if we are not able to price appropriately and maintain asset utilization levels and control our costs.

        Our profitability is largely a function of the efficiency with which we utilize our assets, and in particular our people and Delivery Centers, and the pricing that we are able to obtain for our services. Our utilization rates are affected by a number of factors, including our ability to transition employees from completed projects to new assignments, to hire and assimilate new employees, forecast demand for our services and thereby maintain an appropriate headcount in each of our geographies and workforces and manage attrition, and our need to devote time and resources to training, professional development and other typically non-chargeable activities. The prices we are able to charge for our services are affected by a number of factors, including our clients' perceptions of our ability to add value through our services, competition, introduction of new services or products by us or our competitors, our ability to accurately estimate, attain and sustain revenues from client engagements, margins and cash flows over increasingly longer contract periods and general economic and political conditions. Therefore, if we are unable to price appropriately or manage our asset utilization levels, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our profitability is also a function of our ability to control our costs and improve our efficiency. As we increase the number of our employees and grow our business, we may not be able to manage the significantly larger and more geographically diverse workforce that may result and our profitability may not improve.

        Our long selling cycle and implementation period make it difficult for us to prepare accurate internal financial forecasts and respond in a timely manner to offset such fluctuations.

        Our operating results may fluctuate significantly from period to period. The long selling cycle for our services as well as the time required to complete the implementation phases of new contracts makes it difficult to accurately predict the timing of revenues from new clients or new SOWs as well as our costs. Our period to period results may also fluctuate due to changes in our costs or other unforeseen events. In addition, our results may vary due to currency fluctuations and changes in other global or regional economic and political conditions. Due to these factors, we may be unable to prepare accurate internal financial forecasts or replace anticipated revenues that we do not receive as a result of delays arising from these factors, and our operating results in future reporting periods may be significantly below the expectations of the public market, securities analysts or investors.

        Currency exchange rate fluctuations in various currencies in which we do business, especially the Indian rupee and the U.S. dollar, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

        Most of our revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars, with the remaining amounts largely in euros, pounds sterling and Japanese yen. Most of our expenses are incurred and paid in Indian rupees, with the remaining amounts largely in U.S. dollars, Chinese renminbi, pounds sterling and euros. As we expand our

16



operations to new countries, we will incur expenses in other currencies. We report our financial results in U.S. dollars. The exchange rates between the Indian rupee and other currencies in which we incur costs or receive revenues, on the one hand, and the U.S. dollar, on the other hand, have changed substantially in recent years and may fluctuate substantially in the future.

        Our results of operations could be adversely affected by certain movements in exchange rates, particularly if the Indian rupee or other currencies in which we incur expenses or receive revenues, appreciate against the U.S. dollar. Although we take steps to hedge a substantial portion of our Indian rupee-U.S. dollar and our Chinese renminbi-Japanese yen foreign currency exposures, there is no assurance that our hedging strategy will be successful or that the hedging markets will have sufficient liquidity or depth for us to implement our strategy in a cost effective manner. In addition, in some countries such as India and China, we are subject to legal restrictions on hedging activities, as well as convertibility of currencies, which could limit our ability to use cash generated in one country in another country and could limit our ability to hedge our exposures. See also "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview—Foreign exchange (gains) losses, net."

        We enter into long-term contracts and fixed price contracts with our clients. Our failure to correctly price these contracts may negatively affect our profitability and we have only limited experience as an independent company in pricing such contracts.

        The pricing of our services is usually included in SOWs entered into with our clients, many of which are for terms of three to five years. In certain cases, we have committed to pricing over this period with only limited sharing of risk regarding inflation and currency exchange rates. In addition, we are obligated under some of our contracts to deliver productivity benefits to our clients. If we fail to estimate accurately future wage inflation rates, currency exchange rates or our costs, or if we fail to accurately estimate the productivity benefits we can achieve under a contract, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We have only operated as an independent business since the beginning of 2005, and thus our experience in pricing our contracts is limited.

        A small portion of our SOWs are currently billed on a fixed price basis rather than on a time and materials basis. We may increase the number of fixed price contracts we perform in the future. Any failure to accurately estimate the resources or time required to complete a fixed price engagement or to maintain the required quality levels or any unexpected increase in the cost to us of employees, office space or technology could expose us to risks associated with cost overruns and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial conditions.

        Future legislation in the United States and other jurisdictions could significantly affect the ability of our clients to utilize our services.

        The issue of companies outsourcing services to organizations operating in other countries has become a topic of political discussion in many countries. For example, many organizations and public figures in the United States have publicly expressed concern about a perceived association between offshore service providers and the loss of jobs in the United States. In addition, there has been recent publicity about negative experiences associated with offshore outsourcing, such as theft and misappropriation of sensitive client data, particularly involving service providers in India. Current or prospective clients may elect to perform such services themselves or may be discouraged from transferring these services from onshore to offshore providers to avoid negative perceptions that may be associated with using an offshore provider. Any slowdown or reversal of existing industry trends toward offshore outsourcing would seriously harm our ability to compete effectively with competitors that provide services from the United States. Measures aimed at limiting or restricting offshore outsourcing have been enacted in a few states and there is currently legislation pending in several states and at the federal level in the United States. The measures that have been enacted to date generally have restricted the ability of government entities to outsource work to offshore business process service providers and have not significantly adversely affected our business, primarily because we do not currently work for such governmental entities and they are not

17



currently a focus of our sales strategy. However, there can be no assurance that pending or future legislation in the United States that would significantly adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition will not be enacted.

        Legislation enacted in certain European jurisdictions and any future legislation in Europe, Japan or any other country in which we have clients restricting the performance of business process services from an offshore location could also have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. For example, new legislation recently enacted in the United Kingdom, based on the 1977 EC Acquired Rights Directive which has been adopted in some form by many European Union, or EU, countries, provides that if a company outsources all or part of its business to a service provider or changes its current service provider, the affected employees of the company or of the previous service provider are entitled to become employees of the new service provider, generally on the same terms and conditions as their original employment. In addition, dismissals of employees who were employed by the company or the previous service provider immediately prior to that transfer are automatically considered unfair dismissals that entitle such employees to compensation. As a result, in order to avoid unfair dismissal claims we may have to offer, and become liable for, voluntary redundancy payments to the employees of our clients in the United Kingdom and other EU countries who have adopted similar laws who outsource business to us. We believe that this legislation may materially affect our ability to obtain new business from companies in the EU and, after including the cost of the potential compensation paid for unfair dismissal claims or redundancies, to provide outsourced services to our current and future clients in the EU in a cost-effective manner.

        We could be liable to our clients for damages and subject to criminal liability and our reputation could be damaged if our information systems are breached or client data is compromised.

        We may be liable to our clients for damages caused by disclosure of confidential information or system failures. We are often required to collect and store sensitive or confidential client data to perform the services we provide under our contracts. Many of our contracts do not limit our potential liability for breaches of confidentiality. If any person, including any of our current or former employees, penetrates our network security or misappropriates sensitive data or if we do not adapt to changes in data protection legislation, we could be subject to significant liabilities to our clients or to our clients' customers for breaching contractual confidentiality provisions or privacy laws. Unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential client data, whether through breach of our computer systems, systems failure or otherwise, could also damage our reputation and cause us to lose existing and potential clients. We may also be subject to civil actions and criminal prosecution by government or government agencies for breaches relating to such data. Our insurance coverage for breaches or mismanagement of such data may not continue to be available on reasonable terms or in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims against us and our insurers may disclaim coverage as to any future claims.

        We may be subject to claims for substantial damages by our clients arising out of disruptions to their businesses or inadequate service, and our insurance coverage may be inadequate.

        Most of our service contracts with clients contain service level and performance requirements, including requirements relating to the quality of our services. Failure to consistently meet service requirements of a client or errors made by our employees in the course of delivering services to our clients could disrupt the client's business and result in a reduction in revenues or a claim for damages against us. Additionally, we could incur liability if a process we manage for a client were to result in internal control failures or impair our client's ability to comply with its own internal control requirements.

        Under our MSAs with our clients, our liability for breach of our obligations is generally limited to actual damages suffered by the client and is typically capped at the greater of an agreed amount or the fees paid or payable to us under the relevant agreement. These limitations and caps on liability may be unenforceable or otherwise may not protect us from liability for damages. In addition, certain liabilities, such as claims of third parties for which we may be required to indemnify our clients or liability for breaches of confidentiality, are generally not limited under those agreements. Our MSAs are governed by

18


laws of multiple jurisdictions, therefore the interpretation of such provisions, and the availability of defenses to us, may vary, which may contribute to the uncertainty as to the scope of our potential liability. Although we have commercial general liability insurance coverage, the coverage may not continue to be available on acceptable terms or in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims and our insurers may disclaim coverage as to any future claims. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage, or changes in our insurance policies (including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements), could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

        Any failures to adhere to the regulations that govern our business could result in our being unable effectively to perform our services. Failure to adhere to regulations that govern our clients' businesses could result in breaches of contract under our MSAs.

        Our clients' business operations are often subject to regulation, and our clients may require that we perform our services in a manner that will enable them to comply with applicable regulations. Our clients are located around the world, and the laws and regulations that apply include, among others, United States federal laws such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, state laws on debt collection in the United States and the Financial Services Act in the United Kingdom as well as similar consumer protection laws in other countries in which our clients' customers are based. Failure to perform our services in a manner that complies with any such requirement could result in breaches of contracts with our clients. In addition, we are required under various laws to obtain and maintain permits and licenses for the conduct of our business in all jurisdictions in which we have operations, including India, and, in some cases, where our clients receive our services, including the United States and Europe. If we do not maintain our licenses or other qualifications to provide our services or if we do not adapt to changes in legislation or regulation, we may have to cease operations in the relevant jurisdictions and may not be able to provide services to existing clients or be able to attract new clients. In addition, we may be required to expend significant resources in order to comply with laws and regulations in the jurisdictions mentioned above. Any failure to abide by regulations relating either to our business or our clients' businesses may also, in some limited circumstances, result in civil fines and criminal penalties for us. Any such ceasing of operations or civil or criminal actions may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

        Some of our contracts contain provisions which, if triggered, could result in lower future revenues and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition.

        Many of our contracts allow a client, in certain limited circumstances, to request a benchmark study comparing our pricing and performance with that of an agreed list of other service providers for comparable services. Based on the results of the study and depending on the reasons for any unfavorable variance, we may be required to make improvements in the services we provide or to reduce the pricing for services to be performed under the remaining term of the contract, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

        Many of our contracts, including our contract with GE, contain provisions that would require us to pay penalties to our clients and/or provide our clients with the right to terminate the contract if we do not meet pre-agreed service level requirements. Failure to meet these requirements could result in the payment of significant penalties by us to our clients which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

        A few of our MSAs provide that during the term of the MSA and under specified circumstances, we may not provide similar services to their competitors. Some of our contracts also provide that, during the term of the contract and for a certain period thereafter ranging from six to 12 months, we may not provide similar services to certain or any of their competitors using the same personnel. These restrictions may hamper our ability to compete for and provide services to other clients in the same industry, which may inhibit growth and result in lower future revenues and profitability.

19



        Many of our contracts with clients specify that if a change of control of our company occurs during the term of the contract, the client has the right to terminate the contract. These provisions may result in our contracts being terminated if there is such a change in control, resulting in a potential loss of revenues. In addition, these provisions may act as a deterrent to any attempt by a third party to acquire our company. Upon the consummation of this offering, GE loses its right to terminate our MSA upon a change of control of our company.

        Many of our contracts with clients require that we bear the cost of any sales or withholding taxes or unreimbursed value-added taxes imposed on payments made under those contracts. While we have arranged our contracts to minimize the imposition of these taxes, changes in law or the interpretation thereof and changes in our internal structure may result in the imposition of these taxes and a reduction in our net revenues.

        Our industry is highly competitive, and we may not be able to compete effectively.

        Our industry is highly competitive, highly fragmented and subject to rapid change. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our markets are breadth and depth of process and technology expertise, service quality, the ability to attract, train and retain qualified people, compliance rigor, global delivery capabilities, price, knowledge of industries served and marketing and sales capabilities. We compete for business with a variety of companies, including large multinational firms that provide consulting, technology and/or business process services, off-shore business process service providers in low-cost locations like India, in-house captives of potential clients, software services companies that also provide business process services and accounting firms that also provide consulting or outsourcing services.

        Some of our competitors have greater financial, marketing, technological or other resources and larger client bases than we do, and may expand their service offerings and compete more effectively for clients and employees than we do. Some of our competitors have more established reputations and client relationships in our markets than we do. In addition, some of our competitors who do not have global delivery capabilities may expand their delivery centers to the countries in which we are located which could result in increased competition for employees and could reduce our competitive advantage. The trend toward outsourcing and technological changes may result in new and different competitors entering our markets. There could also be newer competitors that are more powerful as a result of strategic consolidation of smaller competitors or of companies that each provide different services or service different industries.

        We expect competition to intensify in the future as more companies enter our markets. Increased competition may result in lower prices and volumes, higher costs for resources, especially people, and lower profitability. We may not be able to supply clients with services that they deem superior and at competitive prices and we may lose business to our competitors. Any inability to compete effectively would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

        Our business could be materially and adversely affected if we do not protect our intellectual property or if our services are found to infringe on the intellectual property of others.

        Our success depends in part on certain methodologies, practices, tools and technical expertise we utilize in designing, developing, implementing and maintaining applications and other proprietary intellectual property rights. In order to protect our rights in these various intellectual properties, we rely upon a combination of nondisclosure and other contractual arrangements as well as trade secret, copyright and trademark laws. We also generally enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, clients and potential clients and limit access to and distribution of our proprietary information. We also have submitted United States federal and foreign trademark applications for the names of additional service offerings. We may not be successful in maintaining or obtaining trademarks for these trade names. India is a member of the Berne Convention, an international intellectual property treaty, and has agreed to recognize protections on intellectual property rights conferred under the laws of other foreign countries, including the laws of the United States. There can be no assurance that the laws, rules, regulations and treaties in effect in the United States, India and the other jurisdictions in which we operate

20



and the contractual and other protective measures we take, are adequate to protect us from misappropriation or unauthorized use of our intellectual property, or that such laws will not change. We may not be able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce our rights, and any such steps may not be successful. Infringement by others of our intellectual property, including the costs of enforcing our intellectual property rights, may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

        Although we believe that we are not infringing on the intellectual property rights of others, claims may nonetheless be successfully asserted against us in the future. The costs of defending any such claims could be significant, and any successful claim may require us to modify, discontinue or rename any of our services. Any such changes may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

        A substantial portion of our assets and operations are located in India and we are subject to regulatory, economic, social and political uncertainties in India.

        We are subject to several risks associated with having a substantial portion of our assets and operations located in India.

        In recent years, we have benefited from many policies of the Government of India and the Indian state governments in the states in which we operate, which are designed to promote foreign investment generally and the business process services industry in particular, including significant tax incentives, relaxation of regulatory restrictions, liberalized import and export duties and preferential rules on foreign investment and repatriation. There is no assurance that such policies will continue. Various factors, such as changes in the current federal government, could trigger significant changes in India's economic liberalization and deregulation policies and disrupt business and economic conditions in India generally and our business in particular.

        In addition, our financial performance and the market price of our common shares may be adversely affected by general economic conditions and economic and fiscal policy in India, including changes in exchange rates and controls, interest rates and taxation policies, as well as social stability and political, economic or diplomatic developments affecting India in the future. In particular, India has experienced significant economic growth over the last several years, but faces major challenges in sustaining that growth in the years ahead. These challenges include the need for substantial infrastructure development and improving access to healthcare and education. Our ability to recruit, train and retain qualified employees, develop and operate our Delivery Centers, and attract and retain clients could be adversely affected if India does not successfully meet these challenges.

        Our Delivery Centers are at risk of damage from natural disasters and other disruptions.

        Our Delivery Centers or our data and voice communications may be damaged or disrupted as a result of natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, heavy rains, epidemics, tsunamis and cyclones, technical disruptions such as electricity or infrastructure breakdowns, computer glitches and electronic viruses or man-made events such as protests, riots and labor unrest. Such events may lead to the disruption of information systems and telecommunication services for sustained periods. They also may make it difficult or impossible for employees to reach our business locations. Damage or destruction that interrupts our provision of services could adversely affect our reputation, our relationships with our clients, our leadership team's ability to administer and supervise our business or it may cause us to incur substantial additional expenditure to repair or replace damaged equipment or Delivery Centers. We may also be liable to our clients for disruption in service resulting from such damage or destruction. While we currently have commercial liability insurance, our insurance coverage may not be sufficient. Furthermore, we may be unable to secure such insurance coverage at premiums acceptable to us in the future or at all. Prolonged disruption of our services would also entitle our clients to terminate their contracts with us. Any of the above factors may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

21



        We may face difficulties as we expand our operations into countries in which we have no prior operating experience.

        We intend to continue to expand our global footprint in order to maintain an appropriate cost structure and meet our clients' delivery needs. This may involve expanding into countries other than those in which we currently operate. It may involve expanding into less developed countries, which may have less political, social or economic stability and less developed infrastructure and legal systems. As we expand our business into new countries we may encounter regulatory, personnel, technological and other difficulties that increase our expenses or delay our ability to start up our operations or become profitable in such countries. This may affect our relationships with our clients and could have an adverse affect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

        We will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and our leadership team faces challenges in implementing those requirements.

        As a public company, we will incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we do not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange, have imposed increased regulation and disclosure and required enhanced corporate governance practices of public companies. We are committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure, and our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards in this regard are likely to result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If we do not implement the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, we might be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any such action could harm our reputation and the confidence of investors and clients in our company and could adversely affect our business and cause our share price to fall. We will also incur additional costs associated with our reporting requirements as a public company. We expect these new rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers.

        Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence involving any of the countries in which we or our clients have operations could adversely affect our operations and client confidence.

        Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war, such as the attacks in recent years in the United States, Spain, England and India may adversely affect worldwide financial markets and could potentially lead to economic recession, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. These events could adversely affect our clients' levels of business activity and precipitate sudden significant changes in regional and global economic conditions and cycles. These events also pose significant risks to our people and to our Delivery Centers and operations around the world.

        Southern Asia has, from time to time, experienced instances of civil unrest and hostilities among neighboring countries, including India and Pakistan. In recent years, military confrontations between India and Pakistan have occurred in the region of Kashmir and along the India/Pakistan border. There have also been incidents in and near India such as terrorist attacks on the Indian Parliament and in the city of Mumbai, troop mobilizations along the India/Pakistan border and an aggravated geopolitical situation in the region. Such military activity or terrorist attacks in the future could influence the Indian economy by disrupting communications and making travel more difficult. Resulting political tensions could create a greater perception that investments in companies with Indian operations involve a high degree of risk, and that there is a risk of disruption of services provided by companies with Indian operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our share price and/or the market for our services. Furthermore, if India were to become engaged in armed hostilities, particularly hostilities that were protracted or involved the

22



threat or use of nuclear weapons, we might not be able to continue our operations. We generally do not have insurance for losses and interruptions caused by terrorist attacks, military conflicts and wars.

        If more stringent labor laws become applicable to us or if our employees unionize, our profitability may be adversely affected.

        India has stringent labor legislation that protects employee interests, including legislation that sets forth detailed procedures for dispute resolution and employee removal and legislation that imposes financial obligations on employers upon retrenchment. Though we are exempt from some of these labor laws at present under exceptions in some states for providers of IT-enabled services, there can be no assurance that such laws will not become applicable to us in the future. If these labor laws become applicable to our employees, it may become difficult for us to maintain flexible human resource policies and attract and employ the numbers of sufficiently qualified candidates that we need or discharge employees, and our compensation expenses may increase significantly.

        In addition, our employees may in the future form unions. If employees at any of our Delivery Centers become eligible for union membership, we may be required to raise wage levels or grant other benefits that could result in an increase in our compensation expenses, in which case our profitability may be adversely affected.

        Our growth strategy includes expanding through acquisitions and we are actively considering a number of acquisitions, one or more of which, if consummated, would be material. We may not succeed, however, in consummating any such acquisition or in integrating any acquired business into our operations.

        Our growth strategy includes expanding our service offerings, both organically and through strategic acquisitions. Through the acquisitions we pursue, we may seek opportunities to add to or enhance the services we provide, to enter new industries or expand our Global Client base, or to strengthen our global presence and scale of operations. We have made acquisitions recently, including E-Transparent B.V. and certain related entities in 2007, which are controlling partners in a partnership collectively known as ICE, MoneyLine Lending Services Inc. in 2006 (now called Genpact Mortgage Services) and Creditek Corporation in 2005.

        At the present time, we are actively considering a number of acquisitions, one or more of which, if consummated, would be material. We are not the only potential buyer for these assets. We cannot give any assurance as to whether any such transaction would be completed or as to the price, terms or timetable on which we may do so. In addition, if we are able to consummate any such acquisition, it could result in dilution of our earnings, an increase in indebtedness or other consequences which could be adverse.

        In addition, we may not be able to identify suitable acquisition targets or negotiate attractive terms in the future. If we are unable to make successful acquisitions, our competitiveness and our ability to grow our business could be adversely affected. If we succeed in making an acquisition, we may not be able to integrate effectively the acquired business into our operations and may not obtain the expected profitability or other benefits in the short or long term from such acquisitions. Our leadership team's attention may also be diverted by any historical or potential acquisitions. Any of the above factors may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition.

        Our principal shareholders will continue to exercise significant influence over us, and their interests in our business may be different from yours.

        Almost all of our issued and outstanding common shares are currently beneficially owned by General Atlantic, Oak Hill, GE and Wachovia Corporation, or Wachovia. Following the consummation of this offering and assuming that the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase additional common shares and there is no exercise of any of our outstanding share options:

23


        Prior to the commencement of this offering these shareholders will enter into a shareholders agreement which will provide that GE will have the right to nominate two directors to our board and GICo will have the right to nominate four directors to our board, so long as they maintain certain minimum shareholding thresholds and these shareholders will agree to vote their shares for the election of such persons. Accordingly, the principal shareholders can exercise significant influence over our business policies and affairs and all matters requiring a shareholders' vote, including the composition of our board of directors, the adoption of amendments to our certificate of incorporation and bye-laws the approval of mergers or sales of substantially all of our assets, our dividend policy and our capital structure and financing. This concentration of ownership also may delay, defer or even prevent a change in control of our company and may make some transactions more difficult or impossible without the support of these shareholders, even if such transactions are beneficial to other shareholders. The interests of these shareholders may conflict with your interests. In particular, GE and Wachovia are our clients. General Atlantic and Oak Hill are significant shareholders and currently hold interests in companies that could, from time to time, compete with us and they may, from to time, make significant investments in companies that could compete with us. In addition, pursuant to our bye-laws and our shareholders agreement and to the extent permitted by applicable law, our directors who are affiliated with our major shareholders are not required to present to us corporate opportunities (e.g., acquisitions or new potential clients) that they become aware of unless such opportunities are presented to them expressly in their capacity as one of our directors.

        We may become subject to taxation in Bermuda, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

        We have received a written assurance from the Bermuda Minister of Finance under The Exempted Undertaking Tax Protection Act 1966 of Bermuda to the effect that if there is enacted in Bermuda any legislation imposing tax computed on profits or income, or computed on any capital asset, gain or appreciation, or any tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax, then the imposition of any such tax shall not be applicable to us or to any of our operations or common shares, debentures or other obligations until March 28, 2016, except in so far as such tax applies to persons ordinarily resident in Bermuda or is payable by us in respect of real property owned or leased by us in Bermuda. We cannot assure you that a future Minister would honor that assurance, which is not legally binding, or that after such date we would not be subject to any such tax. If we were to become subject to taxation in Bermuda, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Related to this Offering

        Sales of common shares eligible for future sale may cause the market price of our common shares to decline significantly, even if our business is doing well.

        The market price of our common shares could decline as a result of sales of a large number of common shares in the market after this offering or the perception that these sales could occur. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. Upon consummation of this offering, we will have 206,405,587 common shares outstanding (approximately 211,699,704 if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional common shares in full). Of these shares, the 35,294,118 common shares offered hereby will be freely tradable without restriction in the public market, unless purchased by our affiliates.

        Following this offering, General Atlantic, Oak Hill, GE and Wachovia will beneficially own in the aggregate approximately 168,615,838 common shares, representing approximately 81.7% of our outstanding common shares. Such shareholders will be able to sell their common shares in the public market from time to time without registering them, subject to the lock-up period described below, and subject to certain limitations on the timing, amount and method of those sales imposed by Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If any of these shareholders were to sell a large number of their

24



common shares, the market price of our common shares could decline significantly. In addition, the perception in the public markets that sales by them might occur could also adversely affect the market price of our common shares.

        In connection with this offering, the aforementioned shareholders, our directors and our executive officers have each agreed to enter into a lock-up agreement and thereby be subject to a lock-up period, meaning that they and their permitted transferees will not be permitted to sell any of their common shares without the prior consent of the underwriters for 180 days after the date of this prospectus. Although we have been advised that there is no present intention to do so, the underwriters may, in their sole discretion and without notice, release all or any portion of the common shares from the restrictions in any of the lock-up agreements described above.

        Pursuant to the shareholder agreement, GE, GICo and Wachovia will have the right, subject to certain conditions, to require us to file registration statements covering all of the common shares (including restricted shares and common shares issuable upon the exercise of currently outstanding options) which they will own upon consummation of this offering or to include those common shares in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or other shareholders. Following their registration and sale under the applicable registration statement, those shares will become freely tradable. By exercising their registration rights and selling a large number of common shares, these holders could cause the price of our common shares to decline. In addition, options to purchase approximately 24.0 million common shares issued pursuant to our equity incentive plans will be outstanding upon consummation of this offering. Following this offering, we intend to file a registration statement under the Securities Act registering a total of approximately 34,000,000 common shares which will cover the shares available for issuance under our equity incentive plans (including for such outstanding options) as well as common shares held for resale by our existing shareholders that were previously issued under our equity incentive plans. Such further issuance and resale of our common shares could cause the price of our common shares to decline.

        Also, in the future, we may issue our securities in connection with investments and acquisitions. The amount of our common shares issued in connection with an investment or acquisition could constitute a material portion of our then outstanding common shares.

        We do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

        We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common shares, other than dividends paid by the predecessor to GE in the 2004 Reorganization. For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common shares. Our ability to pay dividends is also subject to restrictive covenants contained in our credit facility agreement governing indebtedness we and our subsidiaries have incurred or may incur in the future.

        Any dividends paid to U.S. shareholders could be subject to tax at ordinary income rates.

        The maximum U.S. tax rate on certain dividends paid to individuals is 15 percent through 2010. Legislation has been recently introduced that, if enacted in its present form, would deny to individuals the 15 percent tax rate on dividends received from a corporation located in a jurisdiction, like Bermuda, that lacks a comprehensive tax system. If this bill becomes law, dividends paid to U.S. shareholders, if any, could be subject to tax at ordinary income rates.

        We are organized under the laws of Bermuda, and Bermuda law differs from the laws in effect in the United States and may afford less protection to shareholders.

        Our shareholders may have more difficulty protecting their interests than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a state of the United States. As a Bermuda company, we are governed by the Companies Act 1981 Bermuda, as amended, or the Companies Act. The Companies Act differs in some material respects from laws generally applicable to U.S. corporations and shareholders, including the

25



provisions relating to interested directors, mergers, amalgamations and acquisitions, takeovers, shareholder lawsuits and indemnification of directors. See "Description of Share Capital."

        Generally, the duties of directors and officers of a Bermuda company are owed to the company only. Shareholders of Bermuda companies generally do not have rights to take action against directors or officers of the company and may only do so in limited circumstances. Officers of a Bermuda company must, in exercising their powers and performing their duties, act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company and must exercise the care and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. Directors have a duty not to put themselves in a position in which their duties to the company and their personal interests may conflict and also are under a duty to disclose any personal interest in any contract or arrangement with the company or any of its subsidiaries. If a director or officer of a Bermuda company is found to have breached his or her duties to that company, he may be held personally liable to the company in respect of that breach of duty. A director may be liable jointly and severally with other directors if it is shown that the director knowingly engaged in fraud or dishonesty. In cases not involving fraud or dishonesty, the liability of the director will be determined by the Bermuda courts on the basis of their estimation of the percentage of responsibility of the director for the matter in question, in light of the nature of the conduct of the director and the extent of the causal relationship between his or her conduct and the loss suffered.

        In addition, our bye-laws contain a broad waiver by our shareholders of any claim or right of action, both individually and on our behalf, against any of our officers or directors. The waiver applies to any action taken by an officer or director, or the failure of an officer or director to take any action, in the performance of his or her duties, except with respect to any matter involving any fraud or dishonesty on the part of the officer or director or to recover any gain, personal profit or advantage to which such officer or director is not legally entitled. This waiver limits the right of shareholders to assert claims against our officers and directors unless the act or failure to act involves fraud or dishonesty. For a description of these restrictions, see "Description of Share Capital." In addition, the rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under Bermuda law are not as clearly established as under statutes or judicial precedent in existence in jurisdictions in the United States, particularly the State of Delaware. Therefore, our shareholders may have more difficulty protecting their interests than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a state within the United States.

        There is no prior public market for our common shares and therefore we cannot assure you that an active trading market or any specific price for our common shares will be established.

        Currently, there is no public trading market for our common shares. We have applied for approval to list our common shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "G." The initial public offering price per share was determined by agreement among us, the selling shareholders and the representatives of the underwriters and may not be indicative of the market price of our common shares after our initial public offering. An active trading market for our common shares may not develop and continue upon the completion of this offering and the market price of our common shares may decline below the initial public offering price.

        Because the initial public offering price per share is substantially higher than our book value per share, purchasers in this offering will immediately experience a substantial dilution in net tangible book value.

        Purchasers of our common shares will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value per share from the initial public offering price per share. After giving effect to the sale of 17,647,059 common shares in this offering, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, and the application of the net proceeds therefrom, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2007 would have been $291.5 million, or $1.42 per share. This represents an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $15.58 per share to new investors purchasing common shares in this offering. For a calculation of the dilution purchasers in this offering will incur, see "Dilution."

26



        The market price for our common shares may be volatile.

        The market price for our common shares is likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors including the following:

        In addition, securities markets generally and from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common shares.

        You may be unable to effect service of process or enforce judgments obtained in the United States or Bermuda against us or our assets in the jurisdictions in which we or our executive officers operate.

        We are organized under the laws of Bermuda, and a significant portion of our assets are located outside the United States. It may not be possible to enforce court judgments obtained in the United States against us in Bermuda or in countries, other than the United States, where we have assets based on the civil liability or penal provisions of the federal or state securities laws of the United States. In addition, there is some doubt as to whether the courts of Bermuda and other countries would recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our directors or officers based on the civil liability or penal provisions of the federal or state securities laws of the United States or would hear actions against us or those persons based on those laws. We have been advised by Appleby, our Bermuda counsel, that the United States and Bermuda do not currently have a treaty providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any federal or state court in the United States based on civil liability, whether or not based solely on United States federal or state securities laws, would not automatically be enforceable in Bermuda. Similarly, those judgments may not be enforceable in countries, other than the United States, where we have assets.

        We will have broad discretion in how we use the proceeds of this offering and we may not use these proceeds effectively. This could affect our profitability and cause our share price to decline.

        Our leadership team will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds of this offering, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether we are using the proceeds appropriately. We currently intend to use the net proceeds to repay term loan indebtedness outstanding under our credit facilities and for working capital and general corporate purposes. From time to time we consider acquisitions or investments if a suitable opportunity arises, in which case a portion of the proceeds may be used to fund such an acquisition or investment. We have no commitments or understandings to make any such acquisition or investment. We have not yet finalized the amount of net proceeds that we will use specifically for each of these purposes. We may use the net proceeds for corporate purposes that do not improve our profitability or increase our market value, which could cause our share price to decline.

27



FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the industry in which we operate and our leadership team's beliefs and assumptions. Such statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies and prospects under the headings "Prospectus Summary," "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business." Words such as "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "seek," "estimate," "could," "may," "shall," "will," "would" and variations of such words and similar expressions, or the negative of such words or similar expressions, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements, including as a result of risks discussed under the heading "Risk Factors." These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to:

        All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. The occurrence of the events described, and the achievement of the expected results, depend on many events, some or all of which are not predictable or within our control. Actual results may differ materially from expected results.

        Factors that may cause actual results to differ from expected results include, among others:

28


        All future written and verbal forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Except as required under the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we undertake no obligation, and specifically decline any obligation, to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements after we distribute this prospectus, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this prospectus might not occur.

        See the section titled "Risk Factors" for a more complete discussion of these risks and uncertainties and for other risks and uncertainties. These factors and the other risk factors described in this prospectus are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could harm our results. Consequently, actual results or developments anticipated by us may not be realized or, even if substantially realized, may not have the expected consequences to, or effects on, us. Given these uncertainties, prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

29



USE OF PROCEEDS

        We estimate that we will receive approximately $273 million in net proceeds from this offering, based on an assumed initial public offering price of $17 per share, which is the mid-point of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. If the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares in this offering is exercised in full, we estimate that our net proceeds will be approximately $357.6 million. We will not receive any proceeds from common shares sold by the selling shareholders.

        A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $17 per share would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by $16.6 million, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us and assuming no other change to the number of common shares offered by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.

        We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to repay revolving loan indebtedness outstanding under our credit facility, which we estimate will be approximately $100.0 million at the time of closing of this offering. We plan to use the remainder of the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes. From time to time we will consider acquisitions or investments if a suitable opportunity arises in which case a portion of the proceeds may be used to fund such an acquisition or investment. We have no current commitments or understandings to make any such acquisition or investment. Pending such uses, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term investments.

        As of March 31, 2007, we had a total of $103.4 million principal amount of short-term loan indebtedness outstanding under our revolving credit facility. Our credit facility has a final maturity date in 2011. This indebtedness was incurred to fund the growth of our business, including establishing new Delivery Centers, acquisitions and the repurchase of our common stock from GE. For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the weighted average interest rate on our indebtedness outstanding under our credit facility was 6.125%. Following the application of the net proceeds from this offering, we expect that our credit facility will consist of term-loan indebtedness of approximately $130 million and an undrawn revolving credit facility.

30



DIVIDEND POLICY

        We have never declared or paid any dividends on our common shares, other than dividends paid by the predecessor to GE in 2004. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business. In addition, our ability to declare and pay cash dividends is restricted by our credit facility. As a result, we do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends on our common shares in the foreseeable future. Any future change in our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, capital requirements, any contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and other factors our board of directors deems relevant. Accordingly, you will need to sell your common shares to realize a return on your investment, and you may not be able to sell your common shares at or above the price you paid for them.

31



CAPITALIZATION

        The following table sets forth our short-term debt and capitalization as of March 31, 2007:

Prior to the 2007 Reorganization, the shareholders' equity of GGH consisted of preferred shares and common shares. The preferred shares were convertible into common shares. In the 2007 Reorganization, such preferred shares and common shares of GGH were exchanged for common shares of Genpact Limited. See "Prospectus Summary—The Company."

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $17.00 per share would increase (decrease) each of additional paid-in capital, total shareholders' equity and total capitalization by $16.6 million.

32



DILUTION

        If you invest in our common shares, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per share of our common shares and the net tangible book value per share of our common shares after this offering. Dilution results from the fact that the per share initial public offering price of our common shares is in excess of the book value per share attributable to the existing shareholders for the presently outstanding common shares.

        As of March 31, 2007, we had a historical net tangible book value of $18.5 million, or approximately $48.15 per common share. Historical net tangible book value per common share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by the number of common shares outstanding. Our pro forma net tangible book value as of March 31, 2007, was approximately $18.5 million, or $0.10 per share of common shares (on a pro forma basis for the 2007 Reorganization). We determined pro forma net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2007, by dividing the net tangible book value (total book value of tangible assets less total liabilities) of GGH determined after giving effect to the completion of the 2007 Reorganization by 187,586,931, the pro forma number of common shares outstanding as of March 31, 2007 after giving effect to the 2007 Reorganization. The decrease in the pro forma net tangible book value per share compared to the historical net tangible book value per share is attributable to the exchange of the common shares and preferred shares of GGH for common shares of Genpact Limited in the 2007 Reorganization.

        After giving effect to the sale of 17,647,059 common shares at an assumed initial public offering price of $17 per share, the mid-point of the price range set forth on the front cover of this prospectus, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us in connection with this offering and giving effect to the use of the net proceeds of this offering as set forth in "Use of Proceeds," our pro forma net tangible book value as of March 31, 2007, would have been $291.5 million, or $1.42 per common share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value per share of $1.32 to existing shareholders and immediate dilution in net tangible book value per share of $15.58 to new investors purchasing common shares in this offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

Assumed initial public offering price per common share         $ 17.00
Historical net tangible book value per common share as of March 31, 2007   $ 48.15      
  Decrease per share attributable to the exchange of common and preferred shares of GGH for common shares of Genpact Limited   $ (48.05 )    
   
     
Pro forma net tangible book value per common share as of March 31, 2007   $ 0.10      
  Increase in net tangible book value per common share attributable to this offering   $ 1.32      
   
     
Pro forma net tangible book value per common share after this offering         $ 1.42
         
Dilution per common share to new investors in this offering         $ 15.58
         

        A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $17.00 per share would increase (decrease) our pro forma net tangible book value by $16.6 million, the pro forma net tangible book value per share after this offering by $0.08 and the dilution per share to new investors by $0.92, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

        The following table sets forth, as of March 31, 2007, on the pro forma basis described above, the number of common shares purchased from us, the total consideration paid to us and the average price per share paid to us by our existing shareholders and to be paid by new investors purchasing common shares in this offering, based on an assumed initial public offering price of $17 per share, the mid-point of the price

        The number of shares purchased by existing shareholders in the above table includes 17,647,059 common shares to be sold by the selling shareholders in this offering. If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, (1) the number of common shares held by existing shareholders will decrease to approximately 80.8% of the total number of common shares outstanding after this offering, and (2) the number of common shares held by new investors will increase to approximately 19.2% of the total number of common shares outstanding after this offering.

        The discussion and tables in this section assume no exercise of outstanding share options. As of March 31, 2007, there were options outstanding to purchase a total of 17,685,508 common shares at a weighted average price of $6.28 per share. To the extent that any of these options are exercised, there may be further dilution to new investors.

SELECTED FINANCIAL AND OPERATING DATA

        The table below presents our selected historical financial and certain operating data. Prior to December 30, 2004, our business was conducted through various entities and divisions that were wholly owned by GE. On December 30, 2004, in the 2004 Reorganization, GE transferred such operations to a newly formed entity, GGH, and sold a 60% interest in GGH to General Atlantic and Oak Hill. Therefore, the financial data for these operations, or our predecessor, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, which are the periods prior to the 2004 Reorganization, are presented on a combined basis. The financial data as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 and for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, which are the periods after the 2004 Reorganization, are presented on a new basis of accounting and are not directly comparable to the data for 2002, 2003 and 2004.

        On March 29, 2007, we formed Genpact Limited in Bermuda to be the new holding company for our business. It was initially a wholly-owned subsidiary of GGH. On July 13, 2007, we effectuated a transaction that resulted in Genpact Limited owning 100% of the capital stock of GGH. This transaction is referred to as the "2007 Reorganization." The pro forma earnings per share information gives effect to the 2007 Reorganization as if it occurred on January 1, 2006.

        The financial data as of and for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 are derived from our audited financial statements which are included in this prospectus (except for the December 31, 2004 balance sheet which is not included). The financial data as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2007 are derived from our unaudited financial statements which are included in this prospectus. The financial data as of and for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 are derived from the unaudited combined financial statements of the predecessor which are not included in this prospectus. All such financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe the quarterly information contains all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present this information. The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Seasonality."

Prior to the 2007 Reorganization, GGH had preferred shares and common shares outstanding. In the 2007 Reorganization, GGH became a subsidiary of Genpact Limited, and these shares were exchanged for Genpact Limited common shares. (The pro forma earnings per common share shows our earnings under our current capital structure as if the 2007 Reorganization took place on January 1, 2006. See note (2) below.)

The
GGH preferred shares were entitled to cumulative dividends which were not paid in cash and were accrued and added to accreted value. As a result, there is a net loss per common share for all periods shown. The GGH preferred shares were convertible at the option of the holder into common shares at rates based on the accreted value (including such dividends). The conversion of such preferred shares as well as the outstanding options on common shares would be anti-dilutive, and therefore such shares and options are not included in the calculation of dilutive net loss per share. The table below sets forth the reconciliation of net income to net loss to common stockholders. See also Note 20 to our consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the audited and unaudited historical financial statements and the accompanying notes included in this prospectus, as well as the discussion under "Selected Financial Data." This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in or implied by any of the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those listed under "Risk Factors" and "Forward Looking Statements."

Overview

        We manage business processes for companies around the world. We began in 1997 as the India-based captive business process services operation for General Electric Capital Corporation, or GE Capital, GE's financial services business. As the value of offshore outsourcing was demonstrated to the management of GE, it became a widespread practice at GE and our business grew in size and scope. We took on a wide range of complex and critical processes and we became a significant provider to many of GE's businesses, including Consumer Finance (GE Money), Commercial Finance, Insurance, Healthcare, Industrial, NBC Universal and GE's corporate offices.

        Prior to December 30, 2004, the business of the Company was conducted through various entities and divisions of GE. On December 30, 2004, in a series of transactions we refer to as the "2004 Reorganization," GE reorganized these operations by placing them all under Genpact Global Holdings, a newly formed Luxembourg entity, and subsequently sold an indirect 60% interest in that entity to General Atlantic and Oak Hill. See "Prospectus Summary—The Company—The 2004 Reorganization." Following the 2004 Reorganization, on December 16, 2005, GE sold a portion of its equity in us to a subsidiary of Wachovia Corporation. As of December 31, 2006, GE owned approximately 29% of our equity, after giving effect to the conversion of preferred stock but excluding shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options.

        Following the 2004 Reorganization, we began operating as an independent company. We separated ourselves operationally from GE and began building the capabilities necessary to be successful as an independent company. Among other things, we expanded our management infrastructure and business development capabilities so that we could secure business from clients other than GE. We substantially expanded administrative functions for which we had previously relied primarily on GE, such as finance, legal, accounting and human resources. We created separate employee benefit and retirement plans, developed our own leadership training capability and enhanced our management information systems.

        We began actively pursuing business from Global Clients as of January 1, 2005. Since that time, we have succeeded in increasing our business and diversifying our revenue sources. As a result, our net revenues from Global Clients have increased from $20.3 million in 2004, to $42.2 million in 2005 and $158.3 million in 2006, representing a compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, of approximately 180%. See "—Classification of Certain Net Revenues" for an explanation of the classification of revenues related to businesses once owned by GE and subsequently sold.

        During the same period, we increased our net revenues from GE. For the fiscal year 2004, our net revenues from GE were $408.9 million, which amount includes $23.8 million in revenues under a contract that was not assigned to us in connection with the 2004 Reorganization and from which we did not earn revenue after 2004, which we refer to as the Unassigned Revenues. See "—Classification of Certain Net Revenues." Our net revenues from GE excluding the Unassigned Revenues were $385.1 million in 2004, $449.7 million in 2005 and $453.3 million in 2006, respectively, representing a CAGR of approximately 8.5%.

        Since we became an independent company, we have increased our business from both GE and Global Clients such that total net revenues (excluding the Unassigned Revenue) have increased from $405.4 million in 2004 to $491.9 million in 2005 and $613.0 million in 2006 representing a CAGR of 23.0%. See "—Classification of Certain Net Revenues." Our net revenues from Global Clients as a percentage of

39



total net revenues (excluding the Unassigned Revenue) have increased from 5.0% in 2004 to 8.6% in 2005 and 25.8% in 2006.

        Revenues.    We earn revenues pursuant to contracts which generally take the form of a master service agreement, or MSA, which is a framework agreement that is then supplemented by statements of work, or SOWs. Our MSAs specify the general terms applicable to the services we will provide. They are typically for terms of five to seven years, although they may also have an indefinite term. In most cases they do not specify pricing terms or obligate the client to purchase a particular amount of services. We then enter into SOWs under an MSA, which specify particular services to be provided and the pricing terms. Most of our SOWs have terms of two to five years. We typically have multiple SOWs under any given MSA, and the terms of the SOWs vary depending on the nature of the services provided.

        In connection with the 2004 Reorganization, we entered into an MSA with GE, which governs SOWs for the services we were then providing to GE as well as new SOWs entered into thereafter. Since January 1, 2005, we have entered into MSAs with more than 35 new Global Clients. Many of these relationships are at an early stage and we are just beginning to perform services for such clients. Therefore, while we believe we have significant opportunities under these contracts, we have only limited experience with which to judge the success of the terms we have established in such contracts.

        We seek to develop long-term relationships with our clients. We believe that these relationships offer the greatest potential for benefits to our clients and to us as they create opportunities for us to provide a variety of services using the full range of our capabilities and to deliver continuous process improvement. We typically face a long selling cycle in securing a new client. It is not unusual for us to spend twelve months or more from the time we begin actively soliciting a new client until we begin to recognize revenues. Our sales efforts usually involve four phases. We may make an initial sales effort in response to an invitation by a client, a specific request for a proposal or at our own initiative. This may be followed by a second phase, during which we work with the client to determine the exact scope and nature of the required services, the proposed solutions and initial transition planning. It is typically only upon the completion of this second phase that a client would decide to retain us. A third phase follows which would involve negotiating the MSA, as well as the initial SOWs. This third phase would also involve detailed planning of the transition of the services as well as the transfer of the knowledge needed to implement the services under such SOWs. The final phase involves commencement of the work and ramping up to meet the agreed upon service levels.

        We expend significant time and capital throughout all of these phases. We generally do not receive any revenues or reimbursement of costs until an MSA and one or more SOWs are signed, which as noted above usually occurs sometime in the third phase of the client development effort. We typically begin hiring employees specifically for the services to be provided to a client once the SOW for the services is signed. Because there is no certainty that a new client will retain us, and because the time involved in these initial phases is significant and unpredictable, we may incur expenses for a significant period of time without receiving any revenues.

        All costs related to contract acquisition are expensed as incurred and classified as selling, general and administrative expenses. Once a contract is signed, we defer revenues from the transition of services to our Delivery Centers, as well as the related cost of revenue (to the extent of such deferred revenues). We recognize such deferred revenues and related cost of revenue over the period during which we expect to benefit from these costs, which is estimated to be three years.

        We price our services under a variety of arrangements, including time and materials contracts and, to a lesser extent, fixed-price contracts. When services are priced on a time and materials basis, we charge the client based on full-time equivalent, or FTE, rates for the personnel who will directly perform the services. The FTE rates are determined on an annual basis, vary by category of service delivery personnel and are set at levels to reflect all our costs, including the cost of supervisory personnel and the allocable portion of other costs, and a margin. In some cases, time and materials contracts are based on hourly rates of the personnel providing the services. Time and materials pricing does not require us to estimate the volume of transactions or other processes that the client expects us to operate.

40



        A small portion of our revenues are derived from fixed-price contracts. Our profitability under a fixed-price contract, as compared to a time and materials contract, is more dependent on our ability to estimate the number of FTEs required to perform the services, the time required to complete the contract and the amount of travel and other expenses that will be incurred in performing that contract. Accordingly, while we may have an opportunity to realize a higher profit, our profitability under each of our fixed-price contracts could also be lower than we expect.

        There are a variety of other aspects to our pricing of contracts, many of which represent options from which a client may choose, such as whether the client wants to provide for higher levels of business continuity planning or whether the client wants shared or dedicated support personnel and/or infrastructure. Under most of our MSAs, we are able to share a limited amount of inflation and currency exchange risk when services are priced on a time and materials basis. Many of our MSAs also provide that, under time and materials-based SOWs, we are entitled to retain a portion of certain productivity benefits we achieve, such as those resulting from being able to provide the same volume of services with fewer FTEs. However, some of our SOWs require certain minimum productivity benefits to be passed on entirely to our clients.

        Once an MSA and related SOW are signed and production of services commences, our revenues and expenses increase as services are ramped up to the agreed upon level. In many cases, we may have opportunities to increase our margins over the life of an MSA and over the life of a particular SOW. This is due to a number of factors. Margins under an MSA can improve to the extent that the time and expense involved in negotiating additional SOWs, transitioning the processes to our Delivery Centers and starting up production are generally less with respect to additional services provided under an MSA than they are with respect to the initial services provided under that MSA. Margins under an MSA or an SOW can improve as a result of the realization of economies of scale as the volume of services increases or the achievement of productivity benefits. Thus, our more mature client relationships typically generate higher margins. A critical part of our strategy is therefore to expand relationships with our clients as a means to increase our overall revenues and improve our margins.

        We follow a rigorous review process to evaluate all new business. Each new business proposal typically is reviewed twice by a committee that includes not only our business development and operational employees, but also members of our finance team. In this way, we try to ensure that contract terms meet our pricing and service objectives. See "Business—Our New Business Review Process."

        Our MSA with GE is for a term ending December 31, 2013. Under this agreement, subject to certain specified adjustments, GE has agreed to provide a minimum annual volume commitment of $360 million for each of the six years beginning January 1, 2005, subject to certain potential adjustments or credits. Such minimum annual commitment is then reduced in a phased manner for the final three years of the agreement, to $270 million for 2011, $180 million for 2012 and $90 million for 2013. However, the actual level of services purchased in the last two years has exceeded such minimum. GE has the ability to carry forward surpluses of up to 10% of the excess purchases in any year against the minimum commitment requirements in the subsequent two years. The actual amount of purchases in any given year depends on decisions by a variety of business units, and represents the sum of services ordered under more approximately 2,400 SOWs. Our pricing arrangements with GE vary by SOW and include some time and materials contracts and some fixed price contracts. Because of our long-term relationship with GE, the negotiation and implementation of new SOWs often occurs in less time than that required for a new client. Our business from GE comes from a variety of GE's businesses and decisions to use our services are currently, as a general matter, made by a number of people within GE. Therefore, although some decisions may be made centrally at GE, the total level of business we receive generally depends on the decisions of the various operating managers of such businesses. In addition, because our business from GE is derived from a variety of businesses within GE, our exposure to GE is diversified in terms of industry risk. See "Risk Factors—GE accounts for a significant portion of our revenues and any loss of business from, or change in our relationship with, GE could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition" and also "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Our Master Services Agreement with GE."

41



        Our MSA with Genworth provides a minimum volume commitment of $24 million per year through 2009 and declining amounts per year thereafter through 2012. Most of our other MSAs do not obligate the client to purchase a specified amount of services. The volume of services provided to Global Clients thus depends on the commitments under individual SOWs.

        Reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses received from clients, consisting principally of travel expenses, have been included as part of net revenues from services. Net revenues represent revenues less certain business taxes we pay in Hungary and China.

        Classification of certain net revenues.    Our net revenues are classified as net revenues from a significant shareholder (which is GE), net revenues from Global Clients and other net revenues. Net revenues from Global Clients consist of revenues from services provided to all clients other than GE and the companies in which GE owns 20% or more of the stock. Revenues from Global Clients in 2005 and 2006 include revenues from two former GE-owned insurance businesses. These businesses were wholly- owned by GE in the beginning of 2004, but GE gradually divested its interest in these businesses in 2004, 2005 and 2006. After GE ceased to own at least 20% of such businesses, we began to treat the revenues from those businesses as Global Client net revenues, in each case from the date that GE ceased to be a 20% shareholder. Those two businesses generated total revenues of $42.0 million in 2004, all of which were classified as GE revenues; a total of $47.4 million in 2005, of which $44.8 million were GE revenues and $2.6 million were Global Client revenues; and a total of $46.4 million in 2006, of which $7.0 million were GE revenues and $39.3 million were Global Client revenues. We have continued to perform services for such businesses following their divestiture by GE even though they were not obligated by the GE MSA to continue to use our services. We entered into new MSAs with respect to one such business following its divestment by GE and agreed with the other to continue to work pursuant to the terms agreed to by GE.

        In addition, our income statement for the year ended December 31, 2004 includes $23.8 million of revenues pursuant to a contract with a division of GE which was not assigned to GGH in the 2004 Reorganization. We refer to such 2004 revenues as the "Unassigned Revenues," because we did not continue to receive revenues under this contract following the 2004 Reorganization. Because our net revenues excluding the Unassigned Revenues is not a U.S. GAAP number, a reconciliation is presented in the table below.

        In addition to our revenues from GE and our revenues from Global Clients, our Genpact Mortgage Services subsidiary had $1.5 million in revenues in 2006 from interest income on mortgage loans that it funded directly and held for sale, typically on a short-term basis. The primary activity of this subsidiary, which we acquired in 2006, consists of mortgage loan application processing for mid-size financial institutions. Funding and secondary remarketing of loans is not part of our business plan for this unit, and on June 1, 2007 we ceased funding new mortgage loans. See "—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Credit Risk."

        Expenses.    Personnel expenses are the major component of both our cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses. Personnel expenses include salaries and benefits as well as costs related to recruiting, training and retention. Our industry is labor intensive. Wage levels in the countries in which our Delivery Centers are located have increased in recent years and we expect such increases to continue for the foreseeable future. We attempt to address the impact of wage increases, and pressures to increase wages, in a number of ways, which include seeking to control entry-level wages, managing our

42



attrition rate, and delivering productivity. We try to control increases in entry-level wages by implementing innovative recruiting policies, emphasizing training and promotion opportunities and maintaining an attractive work atmosphere and company culture. We have succeeded at keeping our entry-level wages in India, where most of our employees are located, at a relatively constant level for the past three years, but there is no assurance we can continue to do so. See "Risk Factors—Wage increases in the countries in which we have operations may prevent us from sustaining our competitive advantage and may reduce our profit margin." Effective training allows us to expand the pool of potential applicants and to upgrade our employees' skill levels so that employees may take on higher value-added tasks over time. By emphasizing training and promotion, we seek to create opportunities for employees to increase their salaries without increasing wage scales. In planning our expansion of capacity, we look for locations that help us ensure global delivery capability while helping us control average salary levels. In India and elsewhere where we may open multiple locations, we try to expand into cities where competition for personnel and wage levels may be lower than in more developed cities. In addition, under some of our contracts we have the ability to share with our clients a portion of any increase in costs due to inflation. Nevertheless, despite these steps, we expect general increases in wage levels in the future which could adversely affect our margins. A significant increase in attrition rates would also increase our recruiting and training costs and decrease our operating efficiency, productivity and profit margins. Increased attrition rates or increased pricing may also cause some clients to be less willing to use our services. See "Risk Factors—Wage increases in the countries in which we have operations may prevent us from sustaining our competitive advantage and may reduce our profit margin."

        Personnel expenses includes compensation, benefits and share options, and are allocated between cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses based on the classification of the employee. Personnel expenses for employees who are directly responsible for performance of services, their supervisors and certain support personnel who may be dedicated to a particular client are included in cost of revenue. Personnel expenses for senior management employees who are not dedicated to a particular client, business development personnel and other personnel involved in support functions are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

        Our operational expenses include facilities maintenance expenses, travel and living costs, communications expenses and other costs. Travel and living costs, which represent the costs of travel, accommodation and meals of employees while traveling for business, are allocated between cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses based on the allocation of the personnel expenses of the employee incurring such costs. Facilities maintenance, certain communication costs and certain other operational costs are allocated between cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses in the same proportions as the allocation of our employees by headcount. Our depreciation and amortization expense is similarly allocated by headcount.

        Cost of revenue.    The principal component of cost of revenue is personnel expenses. We include in cost of revenue all personnel expenses for employees who are directly responsible for the performance of services, their supervisors and certain support personnel who may be dedicated to a particular client.

        The operational expenses included in cost of revenue include a portion of our facilities maintenance expenses, travel and living expenses, communication expenses and certain other expenses. As noted above, facilities maintenance expenses, certain communication expenses and certain other expenses are allocated between cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses based on headcount. Travel and living expenses are included in cost of revenue if the personnel expenses for the employee incurring such expense is included in cost of revenue. The operational expenses component of cost of revenue also includes consulting charges, which represent the cost of third-party software and other consultants that we may retain for particular services. Cost of revenue also includes a portion of our depreciation and amortization expense, which is allocated between cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses based on headcount.

        The ratio of cost of revenue to revenues for any particular SOW or for all SOWs under an MSA is typically higher in the early periods of the contract or client relationship than in later periods. This is

43



because the number of supervisory and support personnel relative to the number of employees who are performing services declines. It is also because we may retain a portion of the benefit of productivity increases realized over time.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses.    Our selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses are primarily comprised of personnel expenses for senior management, business development personnel and other support personnel who are not dedicated to particular clients. The operational costs component of SG&A expenses includes travel and living costs for such personnel, as well as a portion of our total facilities maintenance expenses, certain communication expenses and certain other expenses. Such portion of such costs is equal to the percentage of our total employees, by headcount, whose compensation cost is classified as SG&A expenses. The operational costs component of SG&A expenses also includes professional fees, which represent the costs of third party legal, tax, accounting and other advisors. SG&A expenses also include a portion of our depreciation and amortization expense, which is allocated between cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses based on headcount.

        The percentage of net revenue represented by our SG&A expenses increased significantly in 2005 and 2006 in connection with the separation of our company from GE and the expansion and diversification of our client base. As discussed above, since January 1, 2005, we have incurred significant expenses to expand the various administrative and support functions we needed to operate as an independent company. Since our separation from GE, we also significantly enhanced our business development capabilities. In many areas, we scaled up our operations in advance of securing new business, so that we would have the infrastructure and support capable of managing the new business. As a public company, we will also incur expenses in relation to compliance with the provisions of the United States securities laws, including in particular the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as stock exchange requirements, which will be included as SG&A expenses.

        Foreign exchange (gains) losses, net.    Foreign exchange (gains) losses, net, consists of gain or loss on derivative contracts that hedge our foreign currency exposure and foreign currency transaction gains or losses. See note 2(j) of the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. See "—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Foreign Currency Risk."

        Approximately 85% of our revenues were paid in U.S. dollars in fiscal 2006. We also received payments in euros, U.K. pounds sterling and Japanese yen. Our costs are primarily in Indian rupees, as well as in U.S. dollars, Chinese renminbi and the currencies of the other countries in which we have operations. While many of our contracts provide for limited sharing of the risk of inflation and fluctuations in currency exchange rates, we bear a substantial part of this risk, and therefore our operating results could be negatively affected by adverse changes in wage inflation rates and foreign currency exchange rates. See discussion of wage inflation under "—Expenses" above. We enter into forward currency contracts to hedge most of our Indian rupee-U.S. dollar and our Chinese renminbi-Japanese yen currency exposure, which are generally designed to qualify for hedge accounting. However, our ability to hedge such risks is limited by local law, the liquidity of the market for such hedges and other practical considerations. Thus, our results of operations may be adversely affected if we are not able to enter into the desired hedging arrangements or if our hedging strategies are not successful. Our foreign exchange (gains) losses, net, includes realized gain or loss on derivative contracts that qualify for hedge accounting and mark to market gain or loss on other derivatives. The effective portion of the mark to market gains and losses on qualifying hedges is deferred and recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income until the transactions occur and is then recognized in the consolidated statements of income. Typically, with respect to the hedged portion of our Indian rupee-U.S. dollar exposure, and to a lesser extent with other currency exposures, the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations in a given period on our cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses may be offset to the extent we are hedged by the effect on our foreign exchange (gains) losses, net. For example, an appreciation of the Indian rupee relative to the U.S. dollar may cause our costs relative to our net revenues to increase, but we may realize a foreign exchange gain when our hedges with respect to such cash flows are terminated.

        Other income (expense).    Other income (expense), net consists primarily of interest expense on indebtedness. It also includes realized and unrealized gain or loss on interest rate swaps. We have entered into interest rate swaps with respect to the floating rate interest exposure on our long-term debt. Other income (expense) also includes interest income on intercorporate deposits.

44


        Income taxes.    We are incorporated in Bermuda and have operations in many countries. Our effective tax rate has varied and will, in the future, vary from year to year based on the tax rate in our jurisdiction of organization, the geographical source of our revenues and the tax rates in those countries, the tax relief and incentives available to us and the financing and tax planning strategies employed by us.

        Luxembourg taxes.    Since December 30, 2004, our parent company, Genpact Global Holdings, or GGH, has been organized in Luxembourg, as an investment company in risk capital, in the form of a private limited liability company or SICAR S.à.r.l. under the law dated June 15, 2004 of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, or the SICAR law. Under the SICAR law, GGH is not subject to income tax on any income attributable to its investments in its subsidiaries and other income attributable to investments in risk capital and is not required to withhold any taxes on distributions paid to its shareholders. Our parent company will be organized in Bermuda upon the consummation of the 2007 Reorganization. See "Prospectus Summary—The Company—The 2007 Reorganization." Bermuda does not impose any income tax on us.

        Indian taxes.    Under the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961, our Delivery Centers in India, from which we derived 66% of our revenues in 2006, benefit from a ten-year holiday from Indian corporate income taxes in respect of their export income, as defined in the legislation. This holiday is available for a period of ten consecutive years beginning in the year in which each Delivery Center commenced operations, but in no case extending beyond March 31, 2009. Our Indian operations began taking advantage of the tax holiday in the Indian fiscal year ended March 31, 1998, with additional Delivery Centers added in subsequent years. Consequently, the tax holiday expires with respect to our Indian operations beginning with the year ended March 31, 2007 and through the year ending March 31, 2009.

        As a result of the tax holiday, our income tax expense with respect to our Indian operations in 2006 was $0.6 million and was also minimal in prior years. In the absence of this tax holiday, income derived from our India operations would be taxed up to the maximum tax rate generally applicable to Indian enterprises which, as of December 31, 2006, was 33.66%. This would have resulted in substantially higher income tax expense than we actually incurred. The tax holiday enjoyed by our Delivery Centers in India expires in stages, on March 31 in each of 2007 (in respect of approximately 35% of our Indian operations), 2008 (in respect of approximately 15% of our Indian operations) and 2009 (in respect of the balance of our Indian operations), depending in each case on when each Delivery Center commenced operations. When our Indian tax holiday expires or terminates, our Indian tax expense will materially increase and thus our after-tax profitability will be reduced, unless we can obtain comparable benefits under new legislation or otherwise reduce our tax liability.

        The SEZ legislation introduced a separate new 15-year tax holiday scheme for operations established in designated special economic zones, or SEZs. Under the SEZ legislation, qualifying operations are eligible for a deduction from taxable income equal to (i) 100% of their profits or gains derived from the export of services for the first five years from the commencement of operations; (ii) 50% of such profits or gains for the next five years; and (iii) 50% of such profits or gains for a further five years, subject to the creation of a "Special Economic Zone Re-investment Reserve Account," to be utilized only for acquiring new plant or machinery, or for other business purposes not including the distribution of dividends. This holiday is available only for new business operations that are conducted at qualifying SEZ locations and is not available to operations formed by splitting up or reconstructing existing operations or transferring existing technology infrastructure to new locations. See "Risk Factors—Over the next few years we will lose certain tax benefits provided by India to companies in our industry and it is not clear whether new tax policies will provide equivalent benefits and incentives."

        We are currently in the process of establishing, subject to regulatory approvals, new Delivery Centers in four cities in India that would be eligible for these benefits. We do not presently know what percentage of our operations or income in India will be eligible for a tax holiday under the SEZ legislation, as it will depend on how much of our business can be conducted at the qualifying locations, and on how much of such business is considered new business under the SEZ legislation. Also, because this is new legislation

45



that is in the process of being implemented, there is continuing uncertainty as to the interpretation of the law and the ability to obtain the required governmental and regulatory approvals. This uncertainty may delay implementation of our proposed SEZ sites. In view of the above, we expect that our effective tax rate will increase over the next few years and that such increase may be material.

        The Government of India may assert that certain of our clients have a "permanent establishment" in India by reason of the activities we perform on their behalf, particularly those clients that exercise control over or have substantial dependency on our services. Such an assertion could affect the size and scope of the services requested by such clients in the future.

        The Government of India has recently enacted a fringe benefit tax on the exercise of share options granted to employees based in India. This tax is payable by the issuer of the share options and recoverable at the option of the issuer from its employees. The implementation rules have not yet been enacted. We are analyzing the consequences of this tax upon our Indian operations, including the applicability to existing outstanding options. Depending upon the final rules, this tax may materially and adversely impact our results of operations, although it would not affect cash flow if fully recovered from employees.

        Transfer Pricing.    We have transfer pricing arrangements among our subsidiaries involved in various aspects of our business, including operations, marketing, sales and delivery functions. U.S. and Indian transfer pricing regulations, as well as the regulations applicable in the other countries in which we operate, require that any international transaction involving affiliated enterprises be made on arm's-length terms. We consider the transactions among our subsidiaries to be on arm's-length pricing terms. If, however, a tax authority in any jurisdiction reviews any of our tax returns and determines that the transfer prices we have applied are not appropriate, or that other income of our affiliates should be taxed in that jurisdiction, we may incur increased tax liability, including accrued interest and penalties, which would cause our tax expense to increase, possibly materially, thereby reducing our profitability and cash flows.

        Other taxes.    We have operating subsidiaries in other countries, including China, Hungary, Mexico, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Romania, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as sales and marketing subsidiaries in certain jurisdictions including the United States and the United Kingdom, which are subject to tax in such jurisdictions. We have moved certain of our marketing operations from Luxembourg to the United States effective January 31, 2007, which may result in an increase in taxes on income attributable to such operations.

        The Government of China has recently enacted amendments to the tax laws applicable to our operations that would increase the applicable tax rate from 15% to 25%, subject to certain grandfathering provisions. Depending upon the final application of these proposals and the growth of our business in China, the effect on our overall tax rate could be material.

        Our ability to repatriate surplus earnings from our Delivery Centers in a tax-efficient manner is dependent upon interpretations of local law, possible changes in such laws and the renegotiation of existing double tax avoidance treaties. Changes to any of these may adversely affect our overall tax rate.

        Tax audits.    Our tax liabilities may also increase, including due to accrued interest and penalties, if the applicable income tax authorities in any jurisdiction, during the course of any audits, were to disagree with any of our tax return positions. Through the period ended December 30, 2004, we have an indemnity from GE for any additional taxes attributable to periods prior to the 2004 Reorganization.

The 2004 Reorganization

        As noted above, the 2004 Reorganization was consummated on December 30, 2004, pursuant to which we became an independent company. The 2004 Reorganization has been accounted for under the purchase method under SFAS 141 Business Combination which resulted in a new basis of accounting. The total purchase consideration was $780 million. The allocation of the total consideration to the fair values of the net assets acquired resulted in goodwill of $485.2 million and intangible assets of $223.5 million. The intangible assets are being amortized over periods ranging from 1-10 years. As a result, for periods after

46



December 31, 2004, we have had, and will continue to have, significant non-cash charges related to the amortization of such intangible assets. See notes 1 and 10 of the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

        In connection with the 2004 Reorganization, we incurred indebtedness of $180 million, of which $156.9 million was paid to various GE entities to acquire the operations in India, Mexico, China, the United States and elsewhere that then constituted our business.

        Prior to the 2004 Reorganization, the financial statements of the various entities were presented on a combined basis as all the entities were under the common control of GE. Because the application of purchase accounting in connection with the 2004 Reorganization created a new basis of accounting, the financial statements and financial data in this prospectus for periods prior to the 2004 Reorganization are not directly comparable to those for periods after December 31, 2004. See also note 1 of the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Acquisitions

        From time to time we may make acquisitions or engage in other strategic transactions if suitable opportunities arise, and we may use cash, securities or other assets as consideration. In March 2007, we acquired E-Transparent B.V. and certain related entities, which are controlling partners in a partnership known as ICE, for cash consideration of euro 11.7 million and 1,442,316 common shares of Genpact Limited (after giving effect to the 2007 Reorganization). Certain partners, which we refer to as the Continuing Partners, retained an equity interest in ICE. As a result there is a minority interest in our income statement commencing with the first quarter of 2007, the size of which varies from period to period depending on the contribution of ICE to our results as well as the portion of the ICE business that relates to the Continuing Partners' activities. In connection with the ICE transaction we will be obligated to pay the sellers of E-Transparent B.V. and related entities an additional cash amount in 2009 not to exceed euro 15.6 million if certain profitability targets are met. In August 2006, we acquired MoneyLine Lending Services, Inc., or MoneyLine, (now called Genpact Mortgage Services), a provider of mortgage origination and fulfillment services, for cash consideration of approximately $14.3 million. We will be obligated to pay the sellers of MoneyLine an additional cash amount in 2008 not to exceed $10 million if certain revenue and profitability targets are met. In August 2005, we acquired all the outstanding capital stock of Creditek Corporation, which provided us with an order-to-cash and receivables management business, for cash consideration of approximately $14.4 million. All three acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of these acquisitions are reflected in our financial statements from the respective dates of acquisition.

Critical Accounting Policies

        The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon the financial statements included in this prospectus, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The notes to the financial statements contain a summary of our significant accounting policies. Set forth below are our critical accounting policies under U.S. GAAP.

        Revenue recognition.    As discussed above, we derive revenues from our services which are provided on a time and materials and a fixed-price basis. Revenues derived from time-and-materials contracts are recognized as the related services are performed. In the case of fixed-price contracts, including those for application maintenance and support services, revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the contracts. Revenues with respect to fixed-price contracts for development of software are recognized on a percentage of completion basis. This method of revenue recognition has been used because management considers this to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts as there is a direct relation between input and productivity.

        For our time and materials contracts, we generally do not recognize revenue until an MSA or SOW are signed. If we receive a cash payment in respect of services prior to the time a contract is signed, we recognize this as an advance from a client until such time as the contract is signed, when it becomes revenue.

47


        We defer the revenues that are for the transition of services to our Delivery Centers (which revenues may include reimbursement of transition costs) and the related costs (up to the extent of the deferred revenues) over the period during which we expect to benefit from these costs, which is estimated to be three years.

        Our accounts receivable include amounts for services that we have performed and for which an invoice has not yet been issued to the client. We follow a 30-day billing cycle and, as such, there may be at any point in time up to 30 days of revenues which we have accrued but not yet billed.

        Business combinations, goodwill and other intangible assets.    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations. SFAS No. 141 specifies criteria as to intangible assets acquired in a business combination that must be recognized and reported separately from goodwill. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, all assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses including goodwill are assigned to reporting units.

        Goodwill represents the cost of the acquired businesses in excess of the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible net assets purchased. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least on an annual basis on September 30, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans and future cash flows. Recoverability of goodwill is evaluated using a two-step process. The first step involves a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the process involves a comparison of the fair value and carrying value of the goodwill of that reporting unit. If the carrying value of the goodwill of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. Goodwill of a reporting unit will be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount.

        Intangible assets acquired individually, or with a group of other assets in a business combination, are carried at a cost less accumulated amortization based on their estimated useful lives as follows:

Customer-related intangible assets   3-10 years
Marketing-related intangible assets   1-5 years
Contract-related intangible assets   1 year

        The intangible assets are amortized using a discounted cash flow method in each period which reflects the pattern in which their economic benefits are consumed or otherwise used up.

        Derivative instruments and hedging activities.    We enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates on inter-company transactions and forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Certain of these transactions meet the criteria for hedge accounting as cash flow hedges under SFAS 133. Changes in the fair values of these hedges are deferred and recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income until the hedged transactions occur and are then recognized in the statement of income. Changes in the fair value for other derivative contracts and the ineffective portion of hedging instruments are recognized in the statement of income of each period and are included in foreign exchange (gains) losses, net.

        Income taxes.    Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities were recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases and operating losses carried forward, if any. Deferred tax assets and liabilities were measured using legislatively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates was recognized in income in the period that included the legislative enactment date. Deferred tax assets were recognized in full, subject to a valuation

48



allowance that reduced the amount recognized to that which was more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the likelihood of realization, we considered estimates of future taxable income. In the case of an entity which benefits from a corporate tax holiday, deferred tax assets or liabilities for existing temporary differences were recorded only to the extent such temporary differences were expected to reverse after the expiration of the tax holiday.

        We also evaluate potential exposures related to tax contingencies or claims made by the tax authorities in various jurisdictions and determine if a reserve is required. A reserve is recorded if we believe that a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These reserves are based on estimates and subject to changing facts and circumstances considering the progress of ongoing audits, case law and new legislation. We believe that the reserves established are adequate in relation to any possible additional tax assessments.

        Stock-Based compensation expense.    Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for stock options granted under our stock option plan pursuant to the minimum value method of FASB Statement No. 123 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation." Under this method, volatility is assumed to be zero and the option value is determined based on the expected term and the estimated rate of interest as reduced by the expected dividend yield.

        Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted FASB Statement No. 123(R) which replaces Statement No. 123 and requires that all stock based compensation be recognized as an expense in the financial statements and that such cost be measured at the fair value of the award. We adopted this statement using the prospective method of application and therefore prior year financial statements were not restated. Compensation expense for stock options is recorded as part of cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses depending on the classification of the compensation expense generally for the individual who received the options.

Fiscal Quarter Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to Fiscal Quarter Ended March 31, 2006

        Net Revenues.    Our net revenues increased by $44.1 million or 33.4%. This increase resulted from increased net revenues from GE and Global Clients.

        Net revenues from GE increased by $11.1 million or 10.1%. This was attributable primarily to entering into new SOWs and to a lesser extent an increase in the services provided under existing SOWs. While net revenues from GE grew in absolute terms, such net revenues declined as a percentage of our total net revenues from 83.1% in the first quarter of 2006 to 68.6% in the first quarter of 2007, due to growth in revenues from our Global Clients.

        Net revenues from Global Clients increased by $32.0 million or 143.9%. This increase resulted from revenues from several new Global Clients with which we entered into MSAs in 2006 as well as an increase in revenues from existing Global Clients under existing MSAs. In addition, a portion of the overall increase was attributable to our acquisition of MoneyLine in August, 2006 and our acquisition of ICE in March 2007 (approximately $2.6 million and $3.0 million of net revenues, respectively). As a percentage of total net revenues, net revenues from Global Clients increased from 16.9% in the first quarter of 2006 to 31.3% in the first quarter of 2007.

        Cost of Revenue.    The following table sets forth the components of our cost of revenue in absolute amounts and as a percentage of net revenues:

 
  Quarter Ended March 31,
 
 
  2006
  2007
 
 
  (dollars in millions)

 
Personnel expenses   $ 48.9   37.1 % $ 66.8   38.0 %
Operational expenses     23.4   17.8 %   34.4   19.6 %
Depreciation and amortization     5.7   4.3 %   8.7   4.9 %
   
 
 
 
 
Cost of revenue   $ 78.0   59.1 % $ 109.9   62.4 %
   
 
 
 
 

        Cost of revenue increased by $31.9 million or 40.9%. As a percentage of net revenues, cost of revenue increased from 59.1% to 62.4%. The largest component of the increase in cost of revenue was personnel expenses which increased by $17.9 million, or 36.6%. Such increase reflected the general growth of our business including a faster rate of growth in business delivered from Europe and North America where compensation costs are higher. This was largely due to the acquisition of MoneyLine in August 2006 and ICE in March 2007, as well as internal growth. Personnel expenses as a percentage of net revenues increased from 37.1% in the first quarter of 2006 to 38.0% in the first quarter of 2007.

        In addition, operational expenses increased by $11.0 million. This increase reflected an increase in facilities maintenance expenses due to the opening of new Delivery Centers in the second half of 2006 as well as increases in consulting expenses, travel and living costs and communication expenses as a result of volume growth. As a percentage of net revenues, operational expenses did not materially change from the first quarter of 2006 to the first quarter of 2007. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $3.0 million as a result of increased investments in new Delivery Centers during the last three quarters of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007.

        As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit increased by $12.2 million or 22.6% and our gross margin decreased from 40.9% in the first quarter of 2006 to 37.6% in the first quarter of 2007.

50



        Selling, general and administrative expenses.    The following table sets forth the components of our selling, general and administrative expenses in absolute amounts and as a percentage of net revenues:

 
  Quarter Ended
March 31,

 
 
  2006
  2007
 
 
  (dollars in millions)

 
Personnel expenses   $ 25.9   19.6 % $ 34.2   19.4 %
Operational expenses     8.9   6.7 %   12.4   7.1 %
Depreciation and amortization     1.4   1.0 %   2.1   1.2 %
   
 
 
 
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses   $ 36.1   27.4 % $ 48.8   27.7 %
   
 
 
 
 

        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $12.7 million or 35.1%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel expenses, which increased by $8.3 million or 32.3%. These increases reflected the general growth in our business. As a percentage of net revenues, SG&A expenses increased from 27.4% in the first quarter of 2006 to 27.7% in the first quarter of 2007 and personnel expenses marginally decreased from 19.6% in the first quarter of 2006 to 19.4% in the first quarter of 2007. These increases reflected the general growth in our business and in particular our efforts to expand and diversify our client base during the last three quarters of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007. In addition, these increases reflected expenditures relating to our efforts to build our business development function and our management and support capabilities as well as preparations to become a public company.

        The operational expenses component of our SG&A expenses increased by $3.6 million. As a percentage of net revenues, such costs increased from 6.7% in the first quarter of 2006 to 7.1% in the first quarter of 2007. These increases reflected increases in facilities maintenance expenses, consulting expenses, travel and living expenses and communication expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses also increased in absolute terms and as a percentage of net revenues. The increase in operational expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses reflected general growth in our business, including the opening of new Delivery Centers to support growth.

        Amortization of acquired intangibles.    In the last three fiscal quarters of 2006 and the first fiscal quarter of 2007, we continued to incur significant non-cash charges consisting of the amortization of acquired intangibles resulting from the 2004 Reorganization. Although such charges declined by $2.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2006, they remained substantial at $9.0 million or 5.1% of net revenues.

        Foreign exchange (gain)/loss, net.    We realized a foreign exchange gain of $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2007 as a result of the movement of the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar relative to our hedged position.

        Other operating income.    Other operating income, which consists of payments from GE for the use of our Delivery Centers and certain support functions for services that they manage and operate with their own employees, declined by $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006. This reflected the reduction by GE in the number of its employees using our premises. We do not recognize these payments as net revenues because GE manages and operates the services; however, our costs are still included in cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses.

        Income from operations.    As a result of the foregoing factors, income from operations increased by $6.4 million to $10.6 million. As a percentage of net revenues, income from operations was 3.2% in the first quarter of 2006 and 6.0% in the first quarter of 2007.

        Other income/(expense), net.    Other expense, net increased by $3.0 million from a $0.6 million expense in the first quarter of 2006 to a $3.6 million expense in the first quarter of 2007. This reflected an

51



increase in our interest expense due to an increase in the outstanding amount of short-term debt. This was offset in part by a reduction in interest expense on long-term debt due to the repayment of a portion of our long-term debt in connection with a refinancing of our debt in 2006. In addition, in the first quarter of 2006 there was a mark-to-market gain in our interest rate swaps that we did not have in the first quarter of 2007.

        Income before share of equity in earnings/loss of affiliate, minority interest and income taxes.    As a result of the foregoing factors, income before income taxes increased by $3.4 million to $7.0 million in the first quarter of 2007 from $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2006. As a percentage of net revenues, income before income taxes was 2.8% in the first quarter of 2006 and 4.0% in the first quarter of 2007.

        Equity in (earnings)/loss of affiliate.    This includes our share of loss from our non-consolidated affiliate, NGEN Media Services Private Limited, a joint venture with NDTV Networks Plc. See "Business—NGEN Joint Venture."

        Minority interest.    The minority interest is due to the acquisition of ICE. See "—Acquisitions."

        Income taxes.    Our income tax expense increased from a $1.4 million benefit in the first quarter of 2006 to a $4.2 million expense in the first quarter of 2007. The principal components of this increase were (i) $2.0 million resulting from the partial expiration of our tax holiday in India as of March 31, 2007, the effect of which has been taken into account proportionally in the first quarter 2007 and (ii) $3.1 million resulting from the application of a Hungarian statutory minimum tax to the operations of our Hungarian branch. We expect to restructure our operations by the end of the third quarter of 2007 to eliminate the applicability of the Hungarian minimum tax.

        Net income.    As a result of the foregoing factors, net income declined by $3.2 million from $5.1 million in the first quarter of 2006 to $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2007. As a percentage of net revenues, our net income declined from 3.8% in the first quarter of 2006 to 1.1% in the first quarter of 2007.

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2005

        Net revenues.    Our net revenues increased by $121.2 million or 24.6%. This increase resulted from increased net revenues from GE and Global Clients.

        Net revenues from GE increased by $3.6 million or 0.8%. As described above under "—Classification of Certain Net Revenues," the two insurance businesses in which GE has ceased to be a 20% shareholder generated total net revenues of $47.4 million in 2005, of which $44.8 million was classified as GE net revenues and $2.6 million was classified as Global Client net revenues, and total net revenues of $46.4 million in 2006, of which $7.0 million was classified as GE net revenues and $39.3 million was classified as Global Client net revenues. Notwithstanding a reduction in GE net revenues resulting from this classification, our net revenues from GE increased primarily as a result of increases in the volume of services provided to GE. This was attributable primarily to entering into new SOWs and to a lesser extent increasing the volume of services provided under existing SOWs. While net revenues from GE grew in absolute terms, such revenues declined as a percentage of our total net revenues from 91.4% in 2005 to 73.9% in 2006, due to growth in revenues from our Global Clients.

        Net revenues from Global Clients increased by $116.1 million or 274.9%. This increase resulted from revenues from several new clients with which we entered into MSAs in 2005. In addition, a portion of the overall increase (approximately $15.3 million) was attributable to the full year inclusion of the results of Creditek, which we acquired in August 2005 and which accounted for $7.5 million in net revenues in 2005. Approximately $3.3 million of net revenues were attributable to our acquisition of MoneyLine Lending Services, Inc. (now called Genpact Mortgage Services) in August, 2006. A portion was also related to GE ceasing to be a 20% shareholder in certain businesses as described above. As a percentage of total net revenues, net revenues from Global Clients increased from 8.6% in 2005 to 25.8% in 2006.

        Cost of revenue.    The following table sets forth the components of our cost of revenue in absolute amounts and as a percentage of net revenues:

 
  Year Ended December 31,
 
 
  2005
  2006
 
 
  (dollars in millions)

 
Personnel expenses   $ 186.8   38.0 % $ 223.4   36.4 %
Operational expenses     89.5   18.2 %   109.3   17.8 %
Depreciation and amortization     27.7   5.6 %   28.1   4.6 %
   
 
 
 
 
Cost of revenue   $ 304.0   61.8 % $ 360.9   58.9 %
   
 
 
 
 

        Cost of revenue increased by $56.9 million or 18.7%. As a percentage of net revenues, cost of revenue declined by 2.9%. The largest component of the increase in cost of revenue was personnel expenses which increased by $36.6 million, or 19.6%. Such increase reflected the general growth of our business. Personnel expenses as a percentage of net revenues declined from 38.0% in 2005 to 36.4% in 2006, which reflected the efficiencies in our workforce that we realized as we expanded our business.

        In addition, operational expenses increased by $19.8 million. This increase reflected an increase in facilities management expenses due to the opening of new Delivery Centers, including dedicated Delivery Centers with excess capacity for new Global Clients in anticipation of performing additional services in the future for those clients. The operational expenses increases also reflected an increase in travel and living costs as a result of general volume growth. These increases were offset by a reduction in communications expenses as a result of a decline in overall telecommunications prices. As a percentage of net revenues, operational expenses decreased from 18.2% in 2005 to 17.8% in 2006.

        As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit increased by $64.2 million or 34.2% and our gross margin increased from 38.2% in 2005 to 41.1% in 2006.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses.    The following table sets forth the components of our selling, general and administrative expenses in absolute amounts and as a percentage of net revenues:

 
  Year Ended December 31,
 
 
  2005
  2006
 
 
  (dollars in millions)

 
Personnel expenses   $ 70.9   14.4 % $ 107.1   17.5 %
Operational expenses     43.0   8.7 %   45.3   7.4 %
Depreciation and amortization     3.5   0.7 %   6.8   1.1 %
   
 
 
 
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses   $ 117.5   23.9 % $ 159.2   26.0 %
   
 
 
 
 

        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $41.7 million or 35.5%. This was primarily due to an increase in personnel expenses, which increased by $36.2 million or 51.1%. As a percentage of net revenues, SG&A expenses increased from 23.9% in 2005 to 26.0% in 2006 and personnel expenses increased from 14.4% in 2005 to 17.5% in 2006. These increases reflected the expenditures related to our efforts to expand and diversify our client base. In 2006, we continued to build the management and support capabilities we need to operate as an independent company and continued to build our business development function. Our results in 2006 reflected the full year effect of management, support and business development personnel hired at various times in 2005 as well as those hired in 2006.

        The operational expenses component of SG&A expenses increased by $2.3 million. As a percentage of net revenues, such costs decreased from 8.7% in 2005 to 7.4% in 2006. The absolute increase reflected increases in facilities maintenance expenses, travel and living expenses and communications expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses also increased in absolute terms and as a percentage of net

53



revenues. The increase in operational expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses reflected general growth of the business, including the opening of new Delivery Centers to support future growth.

        Amortization of acquired intangibles.    In 2006, we continued to incur significant non-cash charges consisting of the amortization of acquired intangibles resulting from the 2004 Reorganization. Although such charges declined by $5.3 million compared to 2005, they remained substantial at $41.7 million or 6.8% of net revenues.

        Foreign exchange (gains) losses, net.    We realized a foreign exchange loss of $13.0 million in 2006 as a result of the movement of the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar relative to our hedged position.

        Other operating income.    Other operating income, which consists of payments from GE for the use of our Delivery Centers and certain support functions for services that they manage and operate with their own employees, declined by $1.3 million in 2006. We do not recognize these payments as net revenues because GE manages and operates these services; however, our costs are included in cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses.

        Income from operations.    As a result of the foregoing factors, income from operations increased by $26.3 million to $43.2 million. As a percentage of net revenues, income from operations was 3.4% in 2005 and 7.0% in 2006.

        Other income (expense), net.    Other expense, net increased by $3.1 million from $6.1 million in 2005 to $9.2 million in 2006, due to the amortization of debt issuance expenses in relation to the refinancing of the existing long-term debt. In 2006, we repaid a portion of our long-term debt in connection with a refinancing of our debt and terminated the swap. The repayment of our long-term debt also reduced our interest expense on long-term debt. However, our overall interest expense increased due to an increase in outstanding short-term debt.

        Income before income taxes.    As a result of the foregoing factors, income before income taxes increased by $23.2 million or from 2.2% of net revenues in 2005 to 5.5% of net revenues in 2006.

        Income taxes.    We booked a net benefit for income taxes in 2005 and 2006 in the amounts of $6.4 million and $5.9 million respectively. This net benefit is due principally to the fact that we have incurred losses (including losses attributable to the amortization of intangibles, and in 2005, to losses on derivatives) in jurisdictions where the statutory tax rate is higher than that applicable to most of our income, as a result of the application of tax holidays and other tax benefits.

        Net income.    As a result of the foregoing factors, net income increased by $22.7 million from $17.1 million in 2005 to $39.8 million in 2006. As a percentage of net revenues, our net income was 3.5% in 2005 and 6.5% in 2006.

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004

        Net revenues.    Our net revenues increased by $62.8 million or 14.6%. Excluding the Unassigned Revenue from our 2004 net revenues, our net revenues increased by $86.5 million or 21.4%. This increase resulted from increased net revenues from both GE and Global Clients. See "—Classification of Certain Net Revenues."

        Net revenues from GE increased by $40.8 million or 10.0%. Excluding the Unassigned Revenue, net revenues from GE increased by $64.6 million or 16.8%. This was attributable primarily to entering into new SOWs and to a lesser extent an increase in services provided under existing SOWs. While net revenues from GE grew in absolute terms, such net revenues declined as a percentage of our total net revenues from 95.3% in 2004 to 91.4% in 2005, due to growth in revenues from our Global Client base. Excluding the Unassigned Revenue, net revenues from GE as a percentage of total net revenues declined from 95.0% to 91.4%.

54


        In December 2005, GE reduced its equity interest in one insurance business to less than 20%. As a result, the 2005 net revenues from this business consisted of $25.4 million which is included as net revenues from GE and $2.5 million which is included as net revenues from Global Clients. See "—Classification of Certain Net Revenues" for an explanation of the classification of revenues related to businesses once owned by GE and subsequently sold.

        Net revenues from Global Clients increased by $22.0 million or 108.4%. This increase reflected the inclusion in net revenues from Global Clients of $2.5 million of net revenues from the insurance business sold by GE as described above. See "—Classification of Certain Net Revenues." In addition, it reflected the acquisition of Creditek Corporation in August of 2005, which resulted in an additional $7.5 million in Global Client net revenues. In addition, after we became an independent company as of December 30, 2004, we began actively soliciting Global Clients and entered into a number of new MSAs in 2005. We began recognizing revenues from these new clients in 2005. By comparison, our Global Client net revenues in 2004 consisted primarily of revenues from clients of our Mexico business.

        As a percentage of total net revenues, net revenues from Global Clients increased from 4.7% in 2004 to 8.6% in 2005. Excluding the Unassigned Revenue, net revenues from Global Clients as a percentage of total net revenues increased from 5.0% in 2004 to 8.6% in 2005.

        Cost of revenue.    The following table sets forth the components of our cost of revenue in absolute terms and as a percentage of net revenues:

 
  Year Ended December 31,
 
 
  2004
  2005
 
 
  (dollars in millions)

 
Personnel expenses   $ 153.9   35.9 % $ 186.8   38.0 %
Operational expenses     87.4   20.4 %   89.5   18.2 %
Depreciation and amortization     22.2   5.2 %   27.7   5.6 %
   
 
 
 
 
Cost of revenue   $ 263.6   61.4 % $ 304.0   61.8 %
   
 
 
 
 

        Cost of revenue increased by $40.4 million or 15.3%. As a percentage of net revenues, cost of revenue increased by 0.4%. The increase included an increase of $32.9 million in personnel expenses, which also increased as a percentage of net revenues from 35.9% in 2004 to 38.0% in 2005. The increase in personnel expenses was primarily due to the general growth of the business as well as increasing our staff in anticipation of the growth of business from new Global Clients and wage increases, particularly in India and China. In addition, operational expenses increased by $2.1 million. The absolute increase reflected increases in consulting charges and certain other charges, offset in part by decreases in facilities maintenance and travel and living expenses. Consulting charges increased primarily because we contracted for software services from third parties in connection with the expansion of our business. The decline in facilities maintenance expenses reflected the fact that in 2004 we incurred significant expenses for repairs and the fact that our expansion was primarily in the form of owned Delivery Centers in 2005. Certain expenses, such as travel and living expenses, declined because in 2005, as we became an independent company, we adopted a policy so that transition expenses, along with any transition revenues, are recognized over the the period during which we expect to benefit from these costs, which is estimated to be three years. As a percentage of net revenues, operational expenses declined from 20.4% to 18.2% in 2005.

        Depreciation and amortization costs increased by $5.4 million as a result of the investments made in technology and telecommunications equipment in 2004 as part of the transition to an independent company. These expenses increased as a percentage of net revenues from 5.2% in 2004 to 5.6% in 2005.

55



        As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit increased by $22.4 million, or 13.5% and our gross margin decreased from 38.6% in 2004 to 38.2% in 2005.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses.    The following table sets forth the components of our selling, general and administrative expenses in absolute terms and as a percentage of net revenues:

 
  Year Ended December 31,
 
 
  2004
  2005
 
 
  (dollars in millions)

 
Personnel expenses   $ 51.4   12.0 % $ 70.9   14.4 %
Operational expenses     23.0   5.4 %   43.0   8.7 %
Depreciation and amortization     1.9   0.5 %   3.5   0.7 %
   
 
 
 
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses   $ 76.3   17.8 % $ 117.5   23.9 %
   
 
 
 
 

        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $41.2 million or 54.0%. As a percentage of net revenue, SG&A expenses increased from 17.8% in 2004 to 23.9% in 2005. This reflected the expenditures we made in 2005 in order to become an independent company and to diversify and expand our client base. The principal component of the increase in SG&A expenses was an increase in personnel expenses, which increased by $19.5 million, or from 12.0% of net revenues in 2004 to 14.4% of net revenues in 2005. This reflected the hiring of additional personnel in many areas. We expanded our management infrastructure and expanded our business development capabilities and administrative functions such as finance, legal, accounting and human resources.

        The operational expense component of SG&A expenses increased by $20.1 million. As a percentage of net revenues, such operational expenses increased from 5.4% in 2004 to 8.7% in 2005. Operational expenses reflected in particular an increase in travel and living expenses, which increased substantially due to our business development efforts to pursue Global Clients. Our professional fees also increased as a result of the need for third party legal, accounting and other consultants in connection with becoming an independent company. These increases were offset in part by a decrease in facilities maintenance expenses, which declined (as was the case with facilities maintenance expense in cost of revenue) because in 2004 we incurred significant expenses for repairs and our expansion was primarily in the form of owned Delivery Centers in 2005.

        Depreciation and amortization increased (as was the case with depreciation and amortization expense in cost of revenue) as a result of the investments made in technology and telecommunications equipment in 2004 as part of our transition to an independent company.

        Amortization of acquired intangibles.    The allocation of the total consideration in the 2004 Reorganization to the fair values of the assets acquired resulted in the creation of significant intangible assets. We began amortizing these intangible assets over a ten year period in 2005. Such non-cash amortization charges in 2005 were $47.0 million.

        Foreign exchange (gains) losses, net.    We realized a foreign exchange loss of $12.8 million in 2005 as a result of the movement of the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar relative to our hedged position.

        Other operating income.    Other operating income was $0 in 2004 and $6.2 million in 2005. This consisted of payment by GE for the use of our Delivery Centers and certain support functions for services that they manage and operate with their own employees. We do not recognize these payments as revenue because GE manages and operates these services; however, our costs are included in cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses.

56



        Income from operations.    Income from operations decreased by $65.1 million to $16.9 million in 2005 primarily as a result of the non-cash amortization of intangibles arising from the 2004 Reorganization, as well as the other factors discussed above. As a percentage of net revenues, income from operations was 19.1% in 2004 and 3.4% in 2005. 

        Other income (expense), net.    Other income (expense), net changed from $8.2 million of income in 2004 to $6.1 million of expense in 2005. In 2004, we had interest income of $11.9 million in intercorporate deposits, which represented cash surplus generated by our business invested with GE. We distributed all such deposits to GE in connection with the 2004 Reorganization. In 2005, we had $10.6 million in interest expense on the indebtedness incurred in connection with the 2004 Reorganization.

        Income before income taxes.    As a result of the foregoing factors, as well as the other factors noted above, income before income taxes decreased by $79.5 million or from 21.0% of net revenues in 2004 to 2.2% of net revenues in 2005.

        Income taxes.    We booked a net provision for income taxes in 2004 in the amount of $6.7 million and a net benefit for income taxes in 2005 in the amount of $6.4 million. This difference arose principally because in 2005 we incurred losses (including losses on derivatives) in jurisdictions where the statutory tax rate is higher than that applicable to most of our income, as a result of the application of tax holidays and other benefits and the impact of a deferred tax liability on the amortization of intangibles.

        Net income.    As a result of the foregoing factors, net income decreased by $66.3 million from $83.4 million in 2004 to $17.1 million in 2005. As a percentage of net revenues, our net income was 19.4% in 2004 and 3.5% in 2005.

Seasonality

        Our financial results may vary somewhat from period to period. Our revenues are typically higher in the third and fourth quarters than the other quarters, as a result of several factors. We generally find that more contracts for software and IT services are signed in the first quarter as corporations begin new budget cycles. Volumes under such contracts then increase as the year progresses. In addition, revenues for collections services, as well as transaction processing, are often higher in the latter half of the year as our clients have greater demand for our services.

        The following table presents unaudited quarterly financial information for each of our last five fiscal quarters on a historical basis. We believe the quarterly information contains all adjustments necessary to fairly present this information. The comparison of results for the first quarter of 2007 with the fourth quarter of 2006 reflects the foregoing factors. The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        We finance our operations and our expansion with cash from operations and short-term borrowing facilities. We also incurred $180 million of long-term debt to finance in part the 2004 Reorganization.

        We expect that in the future our cash from operations, cash reserves and debt capacity will be sufficient to finance our operations as well as our growth and expansion. Our working capital needs are primarily to finance our payroll expenses in advance of the receipt of accounts receivable. Our capital requirements include the opening of new Delivery Centers, as well as acquisitions.

        Cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in our consolidated statements of cash flows, are summarized in the following table:

        Cash flow from operating activities.    Our net cash provided by operating activities was $8.8 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $11.9 million in the first quarter of 2006. This primarily reflected the fact that accounts receivable increased by only $11.1 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared to an increase of $20.2 million in the first quarter of 2006, due to faster collection experience.

        Our net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $70.2 million in 2006 compared to 2005. This primarily reflected the fact that accounts receivable increased by $64.0 million in 2006 compared to an increase of $43.6 million in 2005, partially offset by the fact that accrued expenses and other liabilities increased by only $1.2 million in 2006 compared to an increase of $51.8 million in 2005. These effects were offset in part by the fact that our net income increased by $22.7 million in 2006 compared to 2005. The increase in accounts receivable consisted of an increase of $33.0 million in accounts receivable from GE, and an increase of $33.9 million in accounts receivable from Global Clients. GE receivables have increased since our separation from GE because we were no longer included in GE's internal inter-corporate payments system. The increase in accounts receivable from Global Clients reflects the increase in Global Clients following the separation from GE. The increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities was less than the 2005 level, which was much higher than in 2004 because, following the 2004 Reorganization, we incurred certain expenses as an independent company that we did not previously have.

        Our net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $19.7 million in 2005 compared to 2004. This primarily reflected the fact that accounts receivable increased by $43.6 million in 2005 compared to a decrease of $21.4 million in 2004. The increase in accounts receivable reflected increases in GE receivables and receivables from Global Clients which resulted from unusually low GE accounts receivable in 2004 due to GE prepaying all accounts receivable in anticipation of the 2004 Reorganization. GE receivables also increased for the same reasons as in 2006. Accrued expenses and other liabilities increased significantly in 2005 compared to 2004 because, following the 2004 Reorganization, we incurred certain expenses as an independent company that we did not previously have.

        Cash flow from investing activities.    Our net cash used in investing activities was $23.0 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared to net cash generated by investing activities of $15.0 million in the first quarter of 2006. This was due to a reduction in intercorporate deposits as well as the payment of $20.1 million for the ICE acquisition.

        Our net cash used in investing activities decreased by $35.4 million in 2006 compared to 2005 due to a reduction in intercorporate deposits. We used this cash for operating activities and investments for purchases of property, plant and equipment of $79.2 million in connection with the opening of new Delivery Centers.

        Our net cash used in investing activities decreased by $35.5 million in 2005 compared to 2004 due to a reduction in intercorporate deposits with GE. We used this cash for purchases of property, plant and equipment of $38.4 million and payment of $15.6 million (including acquisition expenses of $1.1 million) for the acquisition of Creditek Corporation.

        We expect capital expenditures in 2007 to relate primarily to our expansion plans, including acquiring SEZ land and building new Delivery Centers. We have not entered into any material commitments relating to the capital expenditures and the amounts and purpose of these expenditures may change in accordance with our business requirements.

        Cash flow from financing activities.    Our net cash provided by financing activities was $15.3 million in the first quarter of 2007, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2006. This was primarily due to an increase in short-term borrowings. Principal use was the repayment of long-term debt of $5.0 million.

        Our net cash provided by financing activities was $2.6 million in 2006, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $26.5 million in 2005. Our principal source of cash from financing activities was the incurrence of $83.0 million of short term debt in 2006. Principal uses were the net repayment of long-term debt of $29.1 million in 2006 at the time of the refinancing and restructuring of the long term debt facility. We also repurchased stock from GE for $50.0 million.

59



        Our net cash used in financing activities of $26.5 million in 2005 reflected principally the repayment of $19.0 million of long-term debt as well as a net reduction in short term borrowings of $8.2 million and proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock to Genpact Global (Lux), S.à.r.l. (GA and OH's investment entity) for $2.3 million.

Financing Arrangements

        Total debt excluding capital lease obligations was $241.6 million at March 31, 2007 compared to $226.0 million at December 31, 2006, $157.9 million at December 31, 2005 and $184.0 million at December 31, 2004. Approximately $133.2 million of this indebtedness at March 31, 2007 represented long-term debt incurred to finance the 2004 Reorganization and $5.0 million of this indebtedness as of March 31, 2007 represented a financing arrangement entered into with GE to purchase software licenses. The remaining $103.4 million at March 31, 2007 was short-term borrowings.

        The weighted average rate of interest with respect to outstanding long-term loans was 4.3%, 6.2% and 6.1% for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 and the quarter ended March 31, 2007, respectively. We did not incur any long-term debt until December 30, 2004.

        We incurred $180 million of long-term indebtedness in connection with the 2004 Reorganization. This indebtedness was restructured in 2006 and has been reduced to $133.2 million as of March 31, 2007. We are obligated to repay such indebtedness in annual installments, with the final maturity in 2011. The agreement contains restrictive covenants, such as requiring lender consent for, among other things, the creation of any liens on any of our property, assets or revenues, the incurring of further indebtedness, the making of or holding of any investments, dispositions of assets, the declaration of any dividends, engaging in any substantially different material line of business, transactions with affiliates and entering into certain agreements. In addition, we must comply with financial covenants pertaining to interest coverage, leverage and the positive net worth of our Indian business. This debt is also secured by a charge over substantially all of our property and assets including but not limited to our equipment, goods, accounts receivable, real estate, bank accounts and our other current assets. As of the date of this prospectus, we believe that we are in full compliance with all the covenants and undertakings as described above.

        We finance our short-term working capital requirements through cash flow from operations and credit facilities from banks and financial institutions. As of March 31, 2007, short-term credit facilities available to the company aggregated $145 million, which are under the same agreement as our long-term debt facility. As of March 31, 2007, a total of $103.4 million was utilized. We intend to prepay all of such short-term indebtedness with a portion of the net proceeds of this offering. Prior to January 1, 2005, affiliates of GE provided us with short-term borrowing facilities.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

        Our exposure to market risk arises principally from exchange rate risk. A substantial portion of our revenues (approximately 85% in fiscal 2006) are received in U.S. dollars. We also receive revenues in euros, U.K. pound sterling and Japanese yen. Our expenses are primarily in Indian rupees and we also incur expenses in U.S. dollars, Chinese renminbi and the currencies of the other countries in which we have operations. Our exchange rate risk arises from our foreign currency revenues, receivables and payables. Based on the results of our European operations for fiscal 2006, and excluding any hedging arrangements that we had in place during that period, a 5.0% appreciation/depreciation in the euro against the U.S. dollar would have increased/decreased our revenues in fiscal 2006 by approximately $1.5 million. Similarly, a 5.0% depreciation in the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar would have decreased our expenses incurred and paid in rupees in fiscal 2006 by approximately $13 million. Conversely, a 5.0% appreciation in the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar would have increased our expenses incurred and paid in rupees in fiscal 2006 by approximately $14 million.

        We have sought to reduce the effect of any Indian rupee-U.S. dollar, Chinese renmimbi-Japanese yen and certain other local currency exchange rate fluctuations on our results of operations by purchasing forward foreign exchange contracts and foreign exchange options to cover a portion of our expected cash flows. These instruments typically have maturities of one to three years. We use these instruments as economic hedges and not for speculative purposes and most of them qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133. Our ability to enter into derivatives that meet our planning objectives is subject to the depth and liquidity of the market for such derivatives. In addition, the laws of China limit the maturity of such arrangements to three years, and the laws of India limit the booking of forward contracts for hedging against exchange rate fluctuations up to an amount equal to the amount required, based on past performance. We may not be able to purchase contracts adequate to insulate ourselves from Indian rupee-U.S. dollar and Chinese renminbi-Japanese yen foreign exchange currency risks. In addition, any such contracts may not perform adequately as a hedging mechanism. See "—Foreign Exchange (gains) losses, net."

        Our exposure to interest rate risk arises principally from interest on our indebtedness. As of December 31, 2006 we had approximately $138.0 million of long-term and approximately $83.0 million of short-term indebtedness from financial institutions and $5.0 million of long-term indebtedness from GE. Interest on our indebtedness is variable based on LIBOR and we are subject to market risk from changes in interest rates. We have, as of December 31, 2006, entered into floating to fixed interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk on a portion of our long-term indebtedness. Based on our long-term indebtedness of $138.0 million as of December 31, 2006 and taking into account the impact of our interest rate swaps referred to above, a 1% change in interest rates would impact our net interest expense by $0.4 million. We intend to prepay all of our long-term indebtedness with a portion of the net proceeds of this offering.

        Prior to May 31, 2007, Genpact Mortgage Services, or Genpact Mortgage, funded mortgage loans with the intention of holding them on a short-term basis (typically less than 45 days) and then selling them in the secondary market. As of May 31, 2007, when it ceased funding new mortgage loans, Genpact Mortgage held mortgage loans in the aggregate principal amount of $12 million. Genpact Mortgage's ability to sell loans is dependent on the liquidity of the secondary mortgage market, which has recently deteriorated. As a result, Genpact Mortgage may not be able to sell loans it continues to hold and is exposed to the risk of default by borrowers.

61


        In connection with the sale of loans, Genpact Mortgage's practice has been to agree to repurchase a sold loan if there occurs a payment default during an agreed period of up to seven months following the sale. As of May 31, 2007, loans in the principal amount of $109.6 million were subject to such repurchase obligation, $1.1 million of which had a payment default and with respect to $0.2 million of which the holders had given Genpact Mortgage a repurchase notice.

        The Company assesses the potential that it will be required to repurchase loans and determines appropriate provisions, if any, for such potential obligation by considering the type and mix of loans sold (e.g., whether sub-prime or prime), the general history and its relationship with the purchasers of the loans, loan delinquency rates, loan to value ratios, collateral quality and its historical experience.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108), which provides interpretative guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of materiality assessments. SAB 108 is effective for us as of December 31, 2006, allowing a one time transitional cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2006, for errors that were not previously deemed material, but are material under the guidance in SAB 108. We have adopted SAB 108 in the current year and the same has not resulted in any adjustment to our prior period financial statements.

        In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" (FIN 48). FIN 48 specifies how tax benefits for uncertain tax positions are to be recognized, measured, and derecognized in financial statements; requires certain disclosures of uncertain tax matters; specifies how reserves for uncertain tax positions should be classified in the balance sheet; and provides transition and interim-period guidance, among other provisions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and, as a result, is effective for us for the year ending December 31, 2007. See note 2(k) to our consolidated financial statements.

        In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines "fair value" as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 provides guidance on the determination of fair value and lays down the fair value hierarchy to classify the source of information used in fair value measurement. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 on our financial statements and will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 157 for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008.

        In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other eligible items at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement in the preparation of the financial statements. However, SFAS No. 159 does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 159 on our financial statements and will adopt the provisions SFAS No. 159 for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008.

BUSINESS

Overview

        We manage business processes for companies around the world. We combine our process expertise, information technology expertise and analytical capabilities, together with operational insight derived from our experience in diverse industries, to provide a wide range of services using our global delivery platform. Our goal is to help our clients improve the ways in which they do business by continuously improving their business processes including through the application of Six Sigma and Lean principles and leveraging technology. We strive to be a seamless extension of our clients' operations.

        We have a unique heritage. We built our business by meeting the demands of the leaders of the General Electric Company, or GE, to increase the productivity of their businesses. We began in 1997 as the India-based captive business process services operation for General Electric Capital Corporation, or GE Capital, GE's financial services business. As the value of offshoring was demonstrated to the management of GE, it became a widespread practice at GE and our business grew in size and scope. We took on a wide range of complex and critical processes and we became a significant provider to many of GE's businesses, including Consumer Finance (now GE Money), Commercial Finance, Insurance, Healthcare, Industrial, NBC Universal and GE's Corporate Offices.

        Our leadership team, our methods and our culture have been deeply influenced by our eight years as a captive operation of GE. Many elements of GE's success—the rigorous use of metrics and analytics, the relentless focus on improvement, a strong emphasis on the client and innovative human resources practices—are the foundations of our business.

        We became an independent company at the beginning of 2005 and since that time we have grown rapidly, continued to expand our range of services and diversified our client base. Since January 1, 2005, we have entered into contracts with more than 35 new clients in a variety of industries, including banking and finance, insurance, manufacturing, transportation and healthcare. We have the benefit of a multi-year contract with GE that provides us with committed revenues through 2013. In addition we have opportunities for expansion with many new clients.

        As of March 31, 2007, we have more than 26,500 employees with operations in nine countries. In 2006, we had net revenues of $613.0 million, of which 25.8% were from Global Clients. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition—Classification of Certain Net Revenues" for an explanation of the classification of revenues related to businesses once owned by GE and subsequently sold.

Our Opportunity

        Globalization of the world's economy remains the most powerful economic trend of our lifetime. It is driven by expanding technology capabilities, the relaxation of local laws and regulations that previously impeded cross-border trade, more efficient global telecommunications and the recognition by business leaders that a highly skilled global workforce can be a competitive business advantage. These dynamics are creating an entirely new set of competitive challenges for companies around the world.

        A century ago, the world experienced a wave of globalization which was propelled by the Industrial Revolution and other technological developments. It was characterized by the physical integration of the global economy, as cross-border delivery of manufactured goods flowed through an infrastructure of ships, railroads and, eventually, roads. Today's wave of globalization has even greater power to transform the global economy and the way in which business is conducted in virtually every industry. The power of this wave of globalization arises from two critical distinguishing characteristics: its speed and its breadth.

        Speed, the most unique characteristic of this globalization, is a product of the revolutionary IT-enabled connectivity that has brought the world together as never before. Today's globalization is driven by inexpensive electronic communication delivery systems which have helped create a globalization of far greater breadth than the world has previously experienced. As was the case in the late 19th century, today's

63



globalization is transforming industries that produce tradable goods. For example, IT capabilities have revolutionized global price discovery and the logistics of supply chain management that sit at the center of global manufacturing platforms. However, this wave of globalization is far broader in that it also affects services and intangibles that were once thought of as non-tradable. Such services can now be delivered on a real-time basis through IT-enabled pipelines to desktops and mobile devices anywhere in the world.

        The current globalization trend has contributed to increased competition for companies around the world, particularly in the established economies of North America and Europe. These dynamics have forced companies to focus on ways to improve productivity and manage costs more aggressively in order to maintain or enhance their competitive positions and increase shareholder value. As part of their response to these pressures, in recent years, business leaders began offshoring business processes to captive businesses and outsourcing business processes to third parties, including by sending such processes offshore to workers in countries where wage levels were lower than in North America and Europe.

        Outsourcing initially focused on realizing immediate cost savings and involved labor-intensive processes such as call center services and data entry. The frequency with which these processes were outsourced increased as companies recognized that offshore service providers could run these processes more efficiently by recruiting and training skilled labor in larger numbers and at lower cost than was available in a company's home market.

        The use of information technology has also been an important catalyst for the growth of outsourcing. Before outsourcing business processes, companies more frequently outsourced IT operations. As companies realized benefits from outsourcing IT services, they became more willing to outsource other types of processes. At the same time, growth in the use of IT contributed to greater efficiencies in business processes and other productivity enhancements. As a result, knowledge of IT platforms and technology became increasingly important to effective business process management.

        Initially, India became the primary destination for offshore business process outsourcing, due to wage levels that are much lower than in the United States. In addition, India offers a large, growing and highly educated English-speaking workforce, a time zone that offers a 24-hour work cycle from a North American and European perspective and a business and regulatory environment that is increasingly conducive to interacting with North American and European companies. However, as demand and the range of services have grown, other destinations have become increasingly important.

        There are varying estimates of the size of these trends. According to International Data Corporation, or IDC, aggregate worldwide spending on IT and business process outsourcing, or BPO, services is estimated to be $934 billion for 2006. The offshore IT and BPO services segment is the fastest growing segment of this market. The NASSCOM-McKinsey report estimates the total addressable market for offshore IT and BPO services to be approximately $300 billion, of which only about 10% has been penetrated. The NASSCOM-McKinsey report projects that spending on offshore IT and BPO services will grow from $30 billion in 2005 to $110 billion in 2010, representing a CAGR of 30%.

        This growth is a function of the increasing acceptance of outsourcing and the constantly expanding notions of what can be outsourced and the benefits that can be achieved. The services that are being outsourced today are much broader, and involve much higher valued functionality than originally outsourced, and include engineering, design, software programming, accounting, healthcare services, legal services, financial analysis, consulting activities and other services, and cut across all industries.

        Ongoing competitive pressures and the need for further productivity improvements have led companies to consider outsourcing more critical and complex business processes and to focus on continuously improving those processes, rather than simply trying to operate them at a lower cost. As a result, many companies have been forced to redefine their core competencies. For example, companies across many industries have outsourced their accounting and finance functions, which were once considered core corporate activities, to third party providers. Today, companies look to achieve a wider range of objectives, from outsourcing as portrayed in the diagram below:

64



GRAPHIC

        Each step along this continuum provides additional value to enterprises that outsource business processes. Delivering significant cost savings by transitioning business processes offshore allows companies to benefit from a labor cost arbitrage. Converting fixed costs into variable ones through outsourcing can provide additional capacity and ongoing business flexibility. Continuously improving business processes offers ongoing productivity benefits and margin expansion opportunities. Ultimately, companies seek business impact such as increased revenue, expanded margins, improved working capital management, increased customer satisfaction and enhancement in their competitive positions.

        In the past, companies have often hired separate vendors for technology and process services. However, this specialization often limited the ability of large companies to benefit because providers lacked scale or depth of expertise. Today, the willingness to outsource a broader array of business processes, from the relatively simple to the more complex, and the fact that many business processes can be enhanced through the application of IT, has created an opportunity for service providers that have broad and deep capabilities, as well as expertise in both process operation and IT platforms.

        Today, companies that are ready to embrace the outsourcing of complex business processes are seeking service providers that have a broad range of capabilities as well as an interest in a strategic relationship that will grow over time. Companies are also focused on service providers with a proven track record of both cost savings and continuous process improvement. Many senior, or C-level, executives today consider the following factors when looking to collaborate with a service provider:


Our Solution

        We manage a wide range of business processes that address the transactional, managerial, reporting and planning needs of our clients. We seek to build long-term client relationships with companies that wish to improve the ways in which they do business and where we can offer a full range of services. With our

65



broad and deep capabilities and our global delivery platform, our goal is to deliver comprehensive solutions and continuous process improvement to clients around the world and across multiple industries.

Our Broad Expertise

        Our services include finance and accounting, collections and customer services, insurance, supply chain and procurement, analytics, enterprise application and IT infrastructure. Significant business impact can often best be achieved by redesigning and operating a combination of processes, as well as providing multiple services that combine elements of several of our service offerings. In offering our services, we draw on three core capabilities—process expertise, analytical ability and technology expertise—as well as the operational insight we have acquired from our experience managing thousands of processes in diverse industries.

        We believe that one of the factors that differentiates us from our competitors is the operational insight we have developed from experience managing with thousands of processes.

Our Strategic Client Model

        We seek to create long-term relationships with our clients where they view us as an integral part of their organization and not just as a service provider. These relationships often begin with the outsourcing of discrete processes and, over time, expand to encompass multiple business processes across a broader set of functions. No matter how large or small the engagement, we strive to be a seamless extension of our client's operations. To achieve this goal, we developed the Genpact Virtual CaptiveSM model for service delivery, and we may implement all or some of its features in any given client relationship, depending on

66



the client's needs. Under this approach, we provide a client with dedicated employees and management as well as dedicated infrastructure at our Delivery Centers. We train our people in the client's culture so that they are familiar not only with the process but with the business environment in which it is being executed.

        In addition, members of our leadership team meet regularly to assess and review our relationship with that client as well as current and potential services that we may provide. This close collaboration between us and our clients not only gives our clients greater control and transparency of their important business processes, it also enables us to identify opportunities in that client's business where we can seek to take over such processes and then refine, enhance and improve them. This helps us to provide more services to those clients, to integrate us further into their business and to establish us as a reliable and important strategic service provider.

Our Global Delivery Platform

        We have a global network of more than 25 Delivery Centers in nine countries. Our Delivery Centers are located in India, China, Hungary, Mexico, the Philippines, the Netherlands, Romania, Spain and the United States. Our presence in locations other than India provides us with multi-lingual capabilities, access to a larger talent pool and "near-shoring" capabilities to take advantage of time zones. With this network, we can manage complex processes in multiple geographic regions. We use different locations for different types of services depending on the needs of the relevant client and the mix of skills and cost of employees available in each location. We have been a pioneer in our industry in opening centers in several cities in India as well as in some of the other countries in which we operate. We expect to continue to expand our global footprint in order to better serve our clients.

Our People and Culture

        We have an experienced and cohesive leadership team. Many members of our leadership team developed their management skills working within GE and many of them were involved in the founding of our business. They have built our business based on the experience gained in helping GE meet a wide range of challenges. As a result, we are an institutional embodiment of much of the wisdom and experience GE developed in improving and managing its own business processes.

        We have created, and constantly reinforce, a culture that emphasizes teamwork, constant improvement of our processes and, most importantly, dedication to the client. A key determinant of our success, especially as we continue to increase the scale of our business, is our ability to attract, hire, train and retain employees in highly competitive labor markets. We manage this challenge through innovative human resources practices. These include broadening the employee pool by opening Delivery Centers in diverse locations, using innovative recruiting techniques to attract the best employees, emphasizing ongoing training, instilling a vibrant and distinctive culture and providing well-defined long term career paths. We also have programs modeled on GE management training programs to develop the next generation of leaders and managers of our business.

        As of March 31, 2007 we have more than 26,500 employees including over 5,500 Six Sigma trained green-belts, 300 Six Sigma trained black-belts and 60 Six Sigma trained master black-belts, as well as more than 4,500 Lean trained employees. This large number of employees with Six Sigma and Lean training helps infuse our organization with a disciplined, analytical approach to everything we do. In addition, more than 5,000 of our employees hold post-graduate degrees and more than 16,000 are university graduates. We monitor and manage our attrition rate very closely, and believe our attrition rate is one of the lowest in the industry. We attribute this to our reputation, our ability to attract high quality applicants, our emphasis on maintaining our culture and the breadth of exposure, experience and opportunity for advancement that we provide to our employees.

67


Our Strategy for Growth

        The specific elements of our strategy to grow our business include the following:

        We intend to deepen and expand relationships with our existing clients, including GE. Since our separation from GE, we have succeeded in forming more than 35 new Global Client relationships with major companies. Many of those relationships are at an early stage and we believe they offer significant opportunities for growth. As we demonstrate the value that we can provide, often with a discrete process, we are frequently able to expand the scope of our work in a variety of ways. This may include managing processes that are "upstream" and "downstream" from the initial process. In addition, clients may become more willing over time to turn over more complex and critical processes to us as we demonstrate our capabilities. We also find opportunities to cross sell different types of services to existing clients. As we have seen with GE, we are continually finding opportunities to provide new services to our clients as we become more knowledgeable about their businesses and they seek constantly to improve their processes.

        In addition to expanding our current client relationships, we plan to continue to develop new long-term client relationships, especially with those clients where we have an opportunity to deliver a broad range of our capabilities and can have a meaningful impact on their businesses. We are selective in the opportunities that we pursue. We focus on clients who understand the importance of continuous process improvement and who wish to outsource complex and critical processes. We seek to build relationships with senior management in order to ensure executive support for our services and create more opportunities for growth.

        The ability to deliver continuous process improvement is an important part of the value that we offer to our clients. We have built a significant repository of process expertise across a wide range of processes such as finance and accounting, supply chain, analytics and client service, and our process expertise is complemented by our ability to implement services and work across multiple technology platforms in diverse industries. Our goal is to continue to remain at the forefront of our industry by emphasizing our expertise in a wide range of processes, our excellence in applying the principles of Six Sigma and Lean, our analytical strength and our technology capabilities. As we expand our client base and the depth of relationships with clients, we will develop greater levels of operational insight making us more valuable to all of our clients.

        We will continue to expand our capabilities globally as well as across industries and service offerings. While we expect this will occur primarily through organic growth, we also plan to evaluate strategic partnerships, alliances and acquisitions to expand into new services offerings as well as into new industries. For example, we acquired a SAP services provider in 2007, a mortgage fulfillment services business in 2006 and an accounts receivable management business in 2005.

        We believe we were also one of the first companies in our industry to establish a presence in several cities in India, such as Gurgaon, Jaipur and Kolkata, as well as in Dalian, China; Budapest, Hungary; and Bucharest, Romania, and to create a global service delivery capability. We intend to continue to expand our global delivery capabilities to ensure that we can meet the rapidly evolving needs of our clients, including processes requiring multi-jurisdictional and multi-lingual capabilities.

68



        Our people are critical to the success of our business and our ability to grow will depend on our ability to continue to attract, train and retain large numbers of talented individuals. We will continue to develop and emphasize innovative recruiting techniques, such as expanding to new locations where talent may be untapped, recruiting new hires with our training academy and storefront offices, and giving existing employees incentives for referrals of new hires. We will continue to emphasize training throughout the tenure of an employee's career. We also believe that maintaining our vibrant and distinctive culture, in which we emphasize teamwork, continuous process improvement and dedication to the client, is critical to growing our business.

Our Services

        We provide a wide range of services to our clients. We group our services into the following categories:


        The services we provide any particular client often draw on processes and platforms in several of these categories. We understand that senior management of our clients is focused on achieving business objectives, rather than on transferring particular processes or employing particular platforms. Therefore, we focus on understanding the business needs of our clients and the business context of existing processes in order to design appropriate and comprehensive solutions for our clients, which may involve processes and platforms that fall into several categories.

        We are one of the world's premier providers of finance and accounting, or F&A, services. This is currently one of our largest service offerings. Our finance and accounting services include end to end transaction services such as accounts payable processing and receivables management; core accounting services, including preparation of U.S. GAAP and SEC-compliant financial statements; core operations services including cash management, preparation of tax returns as well as decision support services which include cash flow analysis. Our services combine our process expertise with strong technology capabilities, including decision support tools such as Hyperion, SAS and Cognos, and platform support for ERP systems such as Oracle and SAP and new technology bundling such as OCR and invoice exchange.

69


        The chart below highlights some of our F&A service offerings:

GRAPHIC

        Our collections and customer services are provided primarily in the areas of consumer finance, commercial finance and mortgage services. Our collections services include a full range of accounts receivable management services, such as early to late stage collections, skip-tracing, refunds, account reconciliation and other specialized services. In our collections services, we act as an agent; we do not acquire debts for our own account. Our customer services include account servicing and customer care services such as handling customer queries, general servicing and dispute resolution. We provide voice and non-voice services. We also provide origination and order management services.

        We provide what we refer to as a "virtual insurance company" for our clients in the insurance industry. We cover many phases of insurance business processes including product development, sales and marketing, policy administration and claims management. We use our analytics capabilities to help our clients devise new models for underwriting, risk management and actuarial analysis. We also handle corporate functions for insurance companies, including reporting and monitoring services for regulatory compliance, portfolio and performance review services and financial planning and tax services. We offer services across the following three key insurance market segments:

71


        The chart below highlights some of our insurance service offerings.

        Our supply chain and procurement services include sourcing services, sales, inventory and operations planning services, logistics services and after market services. This often includes designing sourcing and procurement processes to control "maverick" buying, overhauling inventory planning systems to optimize inventory levels, designing and implementing logistics services that integrate disparate technology systems and provide dynamic digital "dashboard" reporting, or designing after-market service systems that ensure fulfillment of contractual obligations and enhance database integrity. We commonly utilize our technology expertise in delivering our services in this area particularly in automating order management processes and monitoring and optimizing supply chain logistics. We have competency in many of the custom platforms used by our clients (e.g., i2, Manugistics and Xelus) and are not tied to any one platform. This enables us to utilize and design the best processes for our clients based on available systems.

        The chart below highlights some of our supply chain and procurement service offerings.

        In addition to incorporating analytics into our other service offerings, we view analytics as a service offering. Our clients frequently have or can easily obtain data that can be used to assess business opportunities, mitigate risks, improve performance or otherwise improve their businesses. However, they sometimes do not recognize the potential in analyzing such data or do not have the capability to apply the rigorous analytical models that might reveal opportunities. We help our clients seize such opportunities.

        The chart below describes some of the most common applications of our analytics capabilities.

        With our enterprise application services, we plan, design, build, test, implement, run and support software solutions for our clients. We leverage our domain knowledge in industries such as insurance, manufacturing, automotive and healthcare and use Six Sigma and Lean principles to reduce the cycle time of software implementations. This can include ERP, supply chain management, financial management and customer relationship management solutions as well as testing, database administration and architecture services. We also have significant expertise in Hyperion, SAS and Cognos, and platform support for ERP systems such as Oracle and SAP.

        Our IT infrastructure services consist of the remote management of IT functions of our clients. This may include management of a client's networks services including LAN, WAN, wireless and VPN, end-user support, network security, malware protection, identity management and encryption services. We use Six Sigma and Lean principles to address technology problems and to enable our clients to reduce technology costs.

Six Sigma and Lean Methodologies

        Our GE heritage taught us the importance of the principles of Six Sigma and Lean in refining business processes. Six Sigma is a method for improving quality by removing variation, defects and their causes in business process activities. Applying Six Sigma principles involves the application of a number of sub-methodologies, including DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve and control), which is a system for incremental improvement in existing processes, and DMADV (define, measure, analyze, design and verify), which is a system used to develop new processes at Six Sigma quality levels.

        We have Six Sigma programs that train, test and grade employees in Six Sigma principles and award them Six Sigma qualifications. The rankings of Six Sigma qualifications from lowest to highest are green-belt, black-belt and master black-belt. As of March 31, 2007, we have more than 5,500 employees trained as Six Sigma green-belts, 300 employees trained as Six Sigma black-belts and 60 employees trained as Six Sigma master black-belts. Unlike many of our competitors who have a relatively small number of Six Sigma trained employees, we have a large number of Six Sigma green-belts and black-belts and therefore we can provide certain of our clients with dedicated Six Sigma trained personnel who can help the clients achieve continuous process improvement on a full time basis.

        We constantly measure the performance of each process we manage for our clients and we work with our clients to develop customized reporting systems so that they have real time access to key metrics. We also apply these principles to our own internal processes in order to deliver efficient operations for our clients. Our expertise in applying Six Sigma and Lean methodologies is one of the key factors that distinguishes us from our competitors.

        Lean is a methodology for measuring and reducing waste or inefficiency in a process. Among other things, it is designed to measure and eliminate overproduction, over-processing and waiting, and to improve the flow of a process. Lean tools and methods are easy to learn and simple to implement and lend

75



themselves to being implemented by associates on the production floor thus making it valuable across the company. We have more than 4,500 Lean trained employees.

Industries

        We provide our services across a wide range of industries including banking and financial services, insurance, manufacturing, transportation and health care. We set forth below a table showing our net revenues in 2006 attributable to the various industry groups that we serve.

Our Clients

        Our clients include some of the best known companies in the world, many of which are leaders in their respective industries. GE has been our largest client and we benefit from a long-term contract whereby GE has committed to purchase stipulated minimum dollar amounts of services through 2013. Since our separation from GE, we have actively marketed our services to other companies and have succeeded in building a diversified client base. Many of these relationships are at an early stage and we believe they offer opportunities for growth.

        GE accounted for approximately 74% of our revenues in fiscal 2006. We currently provide services to all of GE's business units including Commercial Finance, GE Money, Healthcare, Industrial, Infrastructure and NBC Universal as well as to GE's corporate head office. The services we currently provide to GE are broad in their nature and are drawn from all of our service offerings. Although we have a single MSA with GE, we have approximately 2,400 SOWs with GE. Currently, as a general matter, each GE business unit makes its own decisions as to whether to enter into a SOW with us and as to the terms of any such SOW. Therefore, although some decisions may be made centrally at GE, our revenues from GE are generally attributable to a number of different businesses each with its own senior manager responsible for decision making regarding outsourcing.

        We have secured over 35 new Global Clients in a variety of industries since January 1, 2005. Our net revenues from Global Clients have rapidly increased in the last two years, from $20.3 million in 2004, to $42.2 million in 2005 and $158.3 million in 2006. Our net revenues from Global Clients as a percentage of total net revenues increased from 4.7% in 2004, to 8.6% in 2005 and 25.8% in 2006. The 2005 and 2006 net revenues from Global Clients include $2.6 million and $39.3 million, respectively, for businesses that were part of GE in 2004 and were included in net revenues from GE in 2004. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition—Classification of Certain Net Revenues." The majority of our Global Clients are based in the United States, and we also have Global Clients in Europe, Asia and Australia.

        Our subsidiary, MoneyLine (now called Genpact Mortgage Services), which we acquired in 2006, provides services mortgage processing services to banking and finance industry clients and our subsidiary Creditek, which we acquired in 2005, provides collections and billing services to a number of different clients. MoneyLine and Creditek accounted for less than 5% of revenues, respectively in fiscal 2006. We include these revenues as part of revenue from Global Clients.

        Our contracts with our clients generally take the form of an MSA, which is a framework agreement that is then supplemented by SOWs. Our MSAs specify the general terms applicable to the services we will

76



provide. For a discussion of the components of our MSAs and SOWs see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition—Overview—Revenues."

        Our clients include Aon, BUPA, BT Financial Group, Cadbury Schweppes, GE, Genworth Financial, Ingenix, Honeywell, Linde Material Handling NA and Still, Nissan, Penske Truck Leasing and Wachovia.

Case Studies

        Wachovia has been a Global Client in our Genpact Virtual CaptiveSM model since 2005. We began by managing a number of discrete and diverse processes across several of Wachovia's lines of business. We have since further expanded the breadth and depth of services we provide to Wachovia. Our relationship with Wachovia today covers a wide range of services including finance and accounting services, financial modeling and comparables analysis for Corporate and Investment Banking, mutual fund services for their Capital Management Group and analytical services for their General Banking Group.

        In 2006, we worked with Wachovia to improve its process for opening new bank branches. Wachovia opens new branches every year as part of its continued growth, but the time required to open a branch varied greatly depending on the location. We worked with Wachovia to map and analyze the existing process. Our Six Sigma black-belt and Lean trained employees worked to reduce the overall cycle time, eliminate non-essential steps and reduce the number of "hand-offs" from one Wachovia employee to another in the process by more than 50%. As a result, the new branch delivery model requires 20% less time. The team also created a new standardized, documented process with clear steps and guidelines that Wachovia will leverage for branch openings across all regions.

        The following chart illustrates the variety of services we initially provided, as well as the new services we have added over time.

        Genworth Financial has been a client since our beginning in 1997, when both of us were part of GE. We began with approximately 25 Genpact people doing policy administration, claims set-up and customer servicing. When GE spun off part of its insurance business to form Genworth Financial in May 2004, we continued to provide services and our relationship has continued to grow since that date even though GE no longer controls Genworth Financial. We executed new MSAs with Genworth Financial in 2005 which extended the term and expanded the scope of the relationship. Today, our Genworth Financial team provides a wide range of services, including actuarial support services and risk modeling services to Genworth's operations across twelve countries. Genworth Financial operates in our Virtual Captive™ model and serves as an extension of Genworth Financial's operations.

        The following chart illustrates the variety of services we initially provided as well as the new services we have added over time.

        Our relationship with Nissan began in 2005 and is an example of the benefit of our global delivery platform. We provide services to Nissan from our Delivery Centers in India, the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific. We began by providing customer relationship management and collections, finance and accounting, and human resources services to Nissan. Our work for Nissan has expanded to include additional services such as procurement, analytics, business process re-engineering projects and onsite support on specific projects. We believe that our experience combined with our ability to provide global services was important in our selection by Nissan.

        The following chart illustrates the services we provide to Nissan.

        Penske Truck Leasing, or Penske, in which GE is a 70% limited partner, has been a client since 1999. Penske's management team sought a service provider that could deliver improvement to a broad range of business processes, including finance and accounting (account reconciliations and general ledger accounting), risk, (collections and credit), and operations (billing, cash applications and vehicle regulatory services).

        Penske leases, rents, and provides maintenance services to over 200,000 trucks in North America, and provides logistics services to customers in North America, Brazil, Europe and China. Genpact worked with Penske to redesign and operate certain of its processes in order to ensure that all necessary vehicle registrations and other required vehicle documents are completed when the new trucks are delivered. To accomplish this, Genpact employees in India monitor the delivery status of new trucks, estimate the time needed for document completion and prepare and file title and permit applications for just-in-time receipt. Genpact employees also provide ongoing processing services for fuel purchases and distances traveled, which information is then used to comply with the various state requirements regarding fuel and mileage taxes.

        Our relationship with Penske currently involves more than 40 different processes delivered from our Delivery Centers in Mexico and India. While most of the services provided by Genpact fall into the areas noted above, Genpact also provides analytical services for Penske's operations and logistics needs. To support operations, Genpact has created a team consisting of more than 40 persons who respond to

79



requests for financial and operation information, from any of Penske's 1,000 operational sites. With regard to logistics, Genpact has created a separate team, also consisting of more than 40 persons, to support Penske's logistics engineering teams in the US and Europe. This team provides initial data cleansing and validation as well as using the data in certain statistical optimization models. Penske is considering the expansion of these analytical services to its Brazil and China operations.

        Penske has stated that our efforts have enabled them to save more than $20 million in direct costs annually, both from process improvements and lower labor costs. For example, delinquent receivables were reduced from 14% to 6% between 2001 and 2006. This was done by analyzing both internal processes linked to receivables and customer pay patterns and initiating a series of improvements over this five year period. Penske has estimated that this reduction in delinquency has helped to reduce working capital debt by $40 million to $50 million.

        We began working with GE Plastics in 2001. Initially we provided IT end-user computing support, accounts payable services and collections. The relationship has expanded to include other areas of finance and accounting, supply chain and inventory management, contract management, customer service and analytics.

        We worked with GE Plastics to improve their controllership, timeliness and accuracy of their finance and accounting processes. We implemented Oracle Financial for GE Plastics in 11 countries, covering more than 25 processes and introduced standardized platforms. In addition, our Six Sigma and Lean trained employees analyzed the processes to identify improvements and re-engineering opportunities, such as improving system user training and looking at root causes of defects in the process. GE Plastics' average cycle time needed to close their books was reduced by 65% (from 7 days to 2 days) and they reduced the number of manual journal entries by 50%, account reconciliations by 50% and interface errors by 80%.

Our People

        Our people are critical to the success of our business. Our Chief Executive Officer and other members of our senior leadership team have been involved in our business since its commencement under GE.

        As of March 31, 2007, we had more than 26,500 employees worldwide. As of that date, approximately 5,900 of our employees held post-graduate degrees and approximately 16,400 were university graduates. In addition, as of March 31, 2007, we had 5,500 Six Sigma green-belt trained employees, 300 Six Sigma black-belt trained employees and 60 Six Sigma master black-belt trained employees. We also had more than 4,500 Lean trained employees as of that date.

        We face increasing competition for skilled employees, particularly in India. We have developed a number of innovative methods in order to recruit sufficiently skilled employees while still controlling our entry-level salaries. In particular, we seek to widen the available talent pool by recruiting aggressively in places where there is less competition. We also hire people who do not have prior experience or training and use our extensive training capability to equip them with the skills they need to be effective. Some measures we use include the following:

80


        We believe in extensive and continuous training of our employees. We have the infrastructure to train approximately 1,000 people at any one time with over 400 trainers and we have approximately 5,600 people enrolled in part-time professional degree programs provided by universities and other third parties. Our training programs are designed to transfer the industry specific knowledge and experience of our industry leaders to ensure we maintain our deep process expertise and domain expertise across all industries in which we work. Our training programs cover a vast number of topics, including specific service offerings, key technical and IT skills, our different clients' workplace cultures and Six Sigma and Lean methodologies. We also have programs modeled on GE management training programs to develop the next generation of leaders and managers of our business, all of whom are needed to support the rapid growth we are experiencing.

        A large part of our continuous training is designed to "up-skill" our employees. That is, we run training programs for employees on an ongoing basis so that they can acquire new skills and move on to higher responsibility or higher-value jobs.

        In order to meet our growth and service commitments we are constantly striving to attract and retain employees. There is significant turnover of employees in the business process outsourcing and information technology sectors generally, particularly in India where the majority of our employees are currently based. Competition for skilled employees in India is very high due to recent economic growth and an increased number of competitors.

        Our attrition rate for all employees who have been employed by us for one day or more was 32% in 2006. A number of our competitors calculate employee attrition rates for their Indian employees who have been employed for six months or more. On this basis our Indian employee attrition rate for 2006 was approximately 21%, which we believe is relatively low for our industry based on statistics published by third parties such as NASSCOM. We attribute this low attrition rate to a number of factors including our effective recruiting measures, our extensive training and our strong culture.

        We also take aggressive action to monitor and minimize potential attrition. Using Six Sigma principles we have developed an early warning system that tracks employees and gives us an insight into which employees are most likely to resign. These employees are automatically highlighted to management who can take action such as relocating the employee or enrolling the employee in continuing education programs to reduce the possibility and impact of such a resignation.

        As another measure designed to minimize attrition, we follow the practice of "right-skilling" our employees to the tasks assigned to them. This means that we match the level of services required to the experience and qualification of the employee concerned and we avoid having over-qualified people in any particular job. This allows us to give our highly qualified and experienced people higher-value jobs and, coupled with the practice of up-skilling, ensures better career paths for all our employees.

Sales and Marketing

        We market our services to both existing and potential clients through our business development team. This team consists of approximately 79 people as of March 31, 2007 based in the United States, Europe and Asia. We focus heavily on trying to expand the services we provide to our existing strategic clients. We have dedicated global relationship managers for each of our strategic relationships. We constantly measure our client satisfaction levels to ensure that we maintain high service levels for each client, using measures such as net promoter scores.

        Our marketing efforts typically involve a lengthy selling cycle to secure a new client. Our efforts may begin in response to a perceived opportunity, a reference by an existing client, a request for proposal, an introduction by one of our directors or otherwise. In addition to our business development personnel, the sales effort involves people from the relevant service areas, people familiar with that prospective client's industry, business leaders and Six Sigma resources. We may expend substantial time and capital in securing new business. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition—Overview—Revenues."

        As our relationship with a client grows, the time required to win an engagement for additional services often gradually declines. In addition, as we become more knowledgeable about a client's business and processes, our ability to identify opportunities to create value for the client typically increases. In particular, productivity benefits and greater business impact can often be achieved by focusing on processes that are "upstream" or "downstream" from the processes we initially handle, or by applying our analytical and IT capabilities to re-engineer processes. In addition, clients often become more willing over time to turn over more complex and critical processes to us as we demonstrate our capabilities.

        We also try to foster relationships between our senior leadership team and our clients' senior management. These "C-level" relationships ensure that both parties are focused on driving client value from the top down. High-level executive relationships have been particularly constructive as a means of increasing business from our existing clients. It also provides us with a forum for addressing client concerns.

Our New Business Review Process

        We follow a rigorous review process to evaluate all new business. This is to ensure that all new business fits with our pricing and service objectives. This process starts with the presentation of new business to our deal review committee which comprises members of our senior leadership team along with operations people and members of our finance department. This committee applies a set of well developed criteria to review the key terms of that new business. If, as a result of the review, the committee concludes that the new business is potentially attractive and a good use of our resources, then our business development team is authorized to pursue the opportunity. Prior to executing any contract in respect of new business, our deal review committee meets again to review the client relationship and to confirm that the terms of the new business continue to meet our criteria.

Delivery Centers

        We commenced business in 1997 in Gurgaon, India. Since then we have established global delivery capabilities consisting of more than 25 Delivery Centers in nine countries (not including our employees who are onsite at our clients' premises). We choose the location of our Delivery Centers based on a number of factors which include the available talent pool, infrastructure, government support and operating costs as well as client demand. We were one of the first companies in our industry to move into some of our locations including Dalian, China; Budapest, Hungary; Bucharest, Romania; and Gurgaon, Jaipur and Kolkata in India. We aim to be continuously connected with our clients' requirements so that we are ready to serve their needs. We constantly evaluate new locations, including new countries and new cities within countries in which we currently operate, for new Delivery Centers and offices.

82


        The large number of different countries from which we service our clients differentiates us from a number of our competitors and enables us to take advantage of different languages and time-zones which, in turn, enhances our ability to service global clients. As of March 31, 2007, we provided services in approximately 20 different languages. Some of our clients also contract with us for additional redundancy and back-up protections.

        The map below shows the location of our existing global Delivery Centers and our regional corporate offices. We have multiple locations in some cities.

GRAPHIC

        We set forth below a table showing our net revenues in 2006 attributable to the main regions in which we have Delivery Centers. A portion of the net revenues we attribute to India consists of net revenues for services performed by Delivery Centers or at client premises outside of India by business units or personnel normally based in India.

NGEN Joint Venture

        NGEN Media Services Private Limited, or NGEN, was founded in March 2006 as a 50:50 joint venture between us and NDTV Networks Plc., or NDTV, to provide outsourcing services to the global media industry, including video editing, digitization and graphics art work. NGEN brings together our operational excellence with NDTV's domain expertise in the media industry.

Intellectual Property

        We develop intellectual property in the course of our business and our MSAs with our clients regulate the ownership of such intellectual property. We have applied for patents, trademarks and domain names. Some of our intellectual property rights relate to proprietary business process enhancements.

        We generally use third-party software platforms and the software systems of our clients to provide our services. We normally enter into licensing agreements with our clients in relation to their software systems.

        It is our practice to enter into an Employee Information & Proprietary Information Agreement with all of our new employees that:

Competition

        We compete in a highly competitive and rapidly evolving global market. We have a number of competitors offering the same or similar services to us. Our competitors include:

        In addition, a client or potential client may choose not to outsource its business, including by setting up captive outsourcing operations or by performing formerly outsourced services for themselves.

Regulation

        We are subject to regulation in many jurisdictions around the world as a result of the complexity of our operations and services, including at the federal, state and local level, particularly in the countries where we have operations and where we deliver services. These countries include China, Hungary, India, Mexico, the Netherlands the Philippines, Romania, Spain, the United States and the United Kingdom. We are also subject to regulation by regional bodies such as the European Union.

        In addition, the terms of our service contracts typically require that we comply with applicable laws and regulations. In some contracts, we are required to comply even if such laws and regulations apply to our clients, but not to us. In other service contracts our clients undertake the responsibility to inform us about laws and regulations that may apply to us in jurisdictions in which they are located.

        If we fail to comply with any applicable laws and regulations, we may be restricted in our ability to provide services, and may also be the subject of civil or criminal actions involving penalties, any of which

84



could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Our clients generally have the right to terminate our contracts for cause in the event of regulatory failures, subject to notice periods. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Business—Any failures to adhere to the regulations that govern our business could result in our being unable to effectively perform our services. Failure to adhere to regulations that govern our clients' businesses could result in breaches of contract under our MSAs."

        In the United States, we are subject to laws and regulations arising out of our work in the area of banking, financial services and insurance, such as the Financial Modernization Act (sometimes referred to as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act), the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, the Right to Financial Privacy Act, the USA Patriot Act, the Bank Service Company Act, the Home Owners Loan Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act as well as regulation by U.S. agencies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the National Credit Union Administration, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Office of Thrift Supervision. We are also subject to regulation under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, the Communications Act, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act and applicable regulations in the area of health and other personal information that we process as part of our services.

        Because of our debt collections work in the United States, we are also regulated by laws such as the Truth in Lending Act, the Fair Credit Billing Act and the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act and underlying regulations. We are currently licensed to engage in debt collection activities in all States, except Minnesota and Tennessee, as well as the cities of New York, Buffalo and Washington D.C.

        We are subject to laws in the United States, the United Kingdom and the EU that are intended to limit the impact of outsourcing on employees in those countries. See "Risk Factors—Future legislation in the United States and other jurisdictions could significantly impact the ability of our clients to utilize our services."

        We are also subject to laws and regulations on direct marketing, such as the Telemarketing Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act and the Telemarketing Sales Rule, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and rules promulgated by the Federal Communications Commission, and the CAN-SPAM Act.

        We are subject to laws and regulations governing foreign trade, such as the Arms Export Control Act, as well as by government bodies such as the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security, the State Department's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls and the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control.

        We benefit from tax relief provided by laws and regulations in India, China and Hungary, which include tax holidays under the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961 that expire in stages by 2009, and a government-mandated relatively low tax rate in China. The Indian SEZ legislation introduced a new tax holiday in certain situations for operations established in designated "special economic zones." The new tax benefits are available only for new business operations that are conducted at qualifying SEZ locations. We are currently in the process of establishing, subject to regulatory approvals, new Delivery Centers in four cities in India that would be eligible for these benefits. We do not presently know what percentage of our operations or income in India in future years will be eligible for a tax holiday under the new law. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview—Income Taxes." In addition to the tax holidays described above, certain benefits are also available to us under certain Indian state laws. These benefits include rebates and waivers in relation to payments for the transfer or registration of property (including for the purchase or lease of premises), waivers of conversion fees for land, exemption from state pollution control requirements, entry tax exemptions, labor law exemptions and commercial usage of electricity.

Composition of the Board of Directors

        Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors. Our board of directors currently consists of 13 members, 10 of whom are independent directors under currently applicable listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange.

Director Independence

        Pursuant to the corporate governance listing standards of the NYSE, a director employed by us cannot be deemed to be an "independent director," and consequently Mr. Bhasin is not an independent director. In addition, in accordance with the NYSE corporate governance listing standards, the board has determined that Messrs Reiner and Trotter, both of whom are executive officers of GE, our largest client, are not independent. The board has determined that none of the other directors has a material relationship with us for purposes of the NYSE corporate governance listing standards and accordingly each is independent under such NYSE standards. In making its independence determinations the board considered the relationship between our company and Genpact Investment Co. (Lux) SICAR S.à.r.l., or GICo, the investment vehicle through which General Atlantic and Oak Hill will own 51.8% of our outstanding common shares following the consummation of this offering (assuming no exercise of the underwriters over-allotment option), the fact that Messrs Crandall, Denning, Dzialga and Nayden serve on our board as designees of GICo pursuant to the terms of the shareholders agreement, the fact that Messrs. Crandall and Nayden are managing partners of Oak Hill and the fact that Messrs. Denning and Dzialga are managing directors of General Atlantic. Messrs Reiner and Trotter serve as members of our board of directors as GE nominees and are also appointed pursuant to the terms of our shareholders agreement. See "Prospectus Summary—The Company" and "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Shareholders Agreement."

Committees of the Board of Directors

        Upon completion of this offering, our board of directors will conduct its business through three standing committees: the audit committee, the compensation committee and the nominating and governance committee. Our board of directors has adopted written charters for each of these committees, which are available on our website. In addition, from time to time, special committees may be established under the direction of the board of directors when necessary to address specific issues. Our audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and governance committee are composed entirely of independent directors.

        Audit Committee.    The audit committee has responsibility for, among other things:

        The audit committee has the power to investigate any matter brought to its attention within the scope of its duties and to retain counsel for this purpose where appropriate.

        Our audit committee consists of Messrs. Barter, Madden and Scott. Mr. Barter has been determined to be an "audit committee financial expert," as such term is defined in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K, and to have accounting or related financial management expertise as required by the NYSE listing standards.

90



        Compensation Committee.    Our compensation committee has responsibility for, among other things:

        Our compensation committee consists of Messrs. Crandall, Denning, Dzialga, Nayden and Spence.

        Nominating and Governance Committee.    Our nominating and governance committee has responsibility for, among other things:

        Our nominating and governance committee consists of Messrs. Denning, Gupta, Nayden and Scott.

        Our board of directors has a compensation committee as described above. If an executive officer of another entity is expected to serve as a member of our compensation committee, none of our executive officers shall serve on such entity's compensation committee (or any other committee serving a similar function).

Codes of Conduct and Ethics and Corporate Governance Guidelines

        Our board of directors has adopted a code of ethical business conduct applicable to our directors, officers and employees and corporate governance guidelines, each in accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange.

Executive Compensation

        This Compensation Discussion and Analysis section discusses the compensation policies and programs for our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and our three next most highly paid executive officers as determined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such individuals are referred to as our named executive officers. The numbers of options and shares, as well as the exercise price and per share purchase price of such options and shares are shown having given effect to the 2007 Reorganization.

        The primary objectives of our compensation program for our executives, including our named executive officers, are to attract, motivate and retain highly talented individuals who are committed to our core values of leadership, performance, passion, innovation, teamwork, integrity and respect. Our compensation program is designed to reward the achievement of our specific annual, long-term and strategic goals, and align the interests of our executives, including our named executive officers, with those of our shareholders by rewarding performance that exceeds established goals, with the ultimate objective of improving shareholder value.

        Currently, our compensation committee is responsible for reviewing the overall goals and objectives of our executive compensation programs, as well as our compensation plans, and making any changes to such goals, objectives and plans. Our compensation committee bases our executive compensation on the same objectives that guide us in establishing all of our compensation programs:

        For 2006, our executive compensation program had four primary components: (a) base salary, (b) annual cash bonus payments, (c) equity-based compensation granted in the form of options to purchase our common shares (we refer to an option to purchase one of our common shares as a Company option) and (d) other benefits and perquisites. Our compensation committee reviews each component of compensation at least every 15 months and has adopted guidelines for allocating compensation between long-term and currently paid out compensation and between cash and non-cash compensation and combine the compensation elements for each executive in a manner we believe best fulfill the objectives of our compensation program.

        Our compensation committee is responsible for evaluating the performance of each of our executives, including the named executive officers, approving the compensation level of each of our executives, establishing criteria for granting Company options to our executives and other employees and approving such grants of Company options. Other than with respect to the grants of Company options, which are made from time to time by our compensation committee, each of these tasks is generally performed annually by our compensation committee. Our Chief Executive Officer provides input on individual performance and assessment to assist our compensation committee in their determinations and make recommendations to our compensation committee during their annual review. The compensation

92



committee may also, at its discretion, solicit the input of other executives or employees and outside consultants and advisors.

        Base Salary.    Base salary reflects the experience, knowledge, skills and performance record our executives, including our named executive officers, bring to their positions and the general market conditions in the country in which the executives are located. In 2005, we entered into employment agreements with two of our named executive officers, Pramod Bhasin, our Chief Executive Officer, and N.V. Tyagarajan, our Executive Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing, pursuant to which we have agreed to provide these executives with minimum base salaries of $567,500 and $300,000, respectively. See "—Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grant of Plan-Based Awards Table—Employment Agreements With Named Executive Officers." Our compensation committee reviews the salaries of our executives, including our named executive officers, at least every fifteen months and determines changes in base salaries based on various factors, including "Criticality of Role," performance and potential of the executive, general Company performance and the market practices in the country where the named executive officer is located. The term "Criticality of Role" encompasses the executive's role in our company and the importance of that role in our overall business. In connection with such review, our Chief Executive Officer provides recommendations and rankings of the executives who directly report to him, including our other named executive officers, and the compensation committee considers the Chief Executive Officer's recommendations in setting base salaries. The base salaries approved by our compensation committee for our named executive officers in 2006 were generally 4% to 10% higher than base salaries in 2005, based on the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer. Our compensation committee has approved increases in base salaries for the named executives officers in 2007 ranging from 6%-9% over 2006 base salaries, based on the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer. The actual date of the increase is tied to the applicable named executive officer's date of joining Genpact.

        Annual Cash Bonus.    Annual cash bonuses are designed to provide more immediate rewards to our executives, including our named executive officers, for their performance during the most recent year. We believe that the immediacy of these cash bonuses, in contrast to our equity grants, which vest over a period of time, provides a significant incentive to our executives towards achieving their respective individual objectives, our Company objectives and our overall long term goal of creating value for our shareholders and employees. Thus, we believe our cash bonuses are an important motivating factor for our executives, in addition to being a significant factor in attracting and retaining our executives.

        Bonuses are generally determined by our compensation committee in January or February following the end of the year and, as with the base salary component, are based on the recommendation and rankings provided by our Chief Executive Officer. The same factors used to determine base salary for the new year, which are described above, are used to determine bonuses for the prior year, with a greater emphasis on the performance of the individual and our company. For Messrs. Bhasin and Tyagarajan, who have employment agreements, the compensation committee also takes into consideration the requirements for bonus payments under their agreements. Mr. Bhasin's employment agreement provides that his annual bonus will be equal to 120% of his base salary, subject to the attainment of performance criteria established by our board of directors. Mr. Tyagarajan's employment agreement provides that his target annual bonus will be equal to 100% of his base salary, subject to a maximum of $500,000. See "—Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grant of Plan-Based Awards Table—Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers." The 2006 bonuses paid to Messrs. Bhasin and Tyagarajan exceeded the amounts set forth in their employment agreements in recognition of their outstanding individual performance and their contributions to our success.

        For 2006, certain of our named executive officers also received incentive payments under the General Electric Special Bonus Plan, pursuant to which General Electric agreed to pay such executives a retention bonus if the executive remained with us for 18 months following the 2004 Reorganization.

93



        Equity-Based Compensation.    Our equity-based compensation program is designed primarily to attract and retain highly qualified individuals, given that competition for talent is high in our industry. In addition, we believe that awarding our executives, including our named executive officers, with Company options with vesting schedules that require continued service enables us to retain our executives for longer periods. Finally, we believe awards of Company options provide closer alignment between the interests of our employees and our shareholders. Consistent with this philosophy, following our 2004 Reorganization, we granted our executives, including our named executive officers, an initial grant of Company options, which generally vest over five years following the grant date as an incentive for our executives to stay with our newly reorganized Company. In addition, we granted Mr. Bhasin an additional 452,250 Company options that were subject to certain performance-based vesting conditions to align even more closely our Chief Executive Officer's interests with those of our shareholders by tying vesting of those Company options to achievement of target equity values. For a description of the vesting conditions of these 452,250 Company options, see the "—Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End" table. In 2006, we granted Company options to Patrick Cogny in recognition of his agreement to relocate to Budapest, Hungary and to bring his total equity compensation level in line with that of our other executives. We did not grant any Company options to any of our other named executive officers in 2006. For more details on the vesting schedules of Company options granted to our named executive officers as of December 31, 2006, see the "—Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End" table. In 2007, we granted Company options to certain of our employees and executives, including Messrs. Bhasin, Cogny, Gour and Tyagarajan, to reward these individuals for their efforts in our growth and to provide added incentives to remain with us following the initial public offering. In making these grants in 2007, we used the advice of an independent compensation consultant. The vesting schedules of the grants to our named executive officers were designed so that one third of the Company options would vest on each of December 31, 2010, December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012. The extended vesting schedule is intended to provide incentives for long-term performance.

        We currently do not have any stock ownership guidelines for executives or other employees but may implement such guidelines in the future.

        In the future, our compensation committee and board of directors may consider awarding additional or alternative forms of equity incentives, such as grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units and other performance based awards, and may also determine to seek additional input from compensation consultants.

        Benefits and Perquisites.    We provide other benefits to our named executive officers that are generally available to other employees in the country in which the named executive officer is located. We believe these benefits are consistent with the objectives of our compensation program and allow our named executive officers to work more efficiently. We also provide our named executive officers with certain perquisites which we believe are reasonable and consistent with market trends in the countries in which our named executive officers are located. Such benefits and perquisites are intended to be part of a competitive overall compensation program. For more details on the benefits provided to our named executive officers, see "—Summary Compensation Table" and "—Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grant of Plan-Based Awards Table."

        Severance Arrangements.    We have entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Bhasin and Tyagarajan which provide for certain payments in the event of a termination of employment. We also provide for certain benefits in the event of a termination of employment under our Company option award agreements with Mr. Bhasin. The severance payments and benefits were based on individual negotiations with the executives and are an important part of employment arrangements designed to retain these named executive officers and provide certainty with respect to the payments and benefits to be provided upon certain termination events. For additional details on these payments and benefits, see "—Potential Payments Upon Termination."

94



        Change in Control.    While Company options granted to our named executive officers may be accelerated by our board upon a change in control, this is not generally a current requirement under our option plans and award agreements. The only named executive officer with current rights to change in control-related payments or benefits is Mr. Bhasin, who receives both "single trigger" and "double trigger" benefits based on his employment agreement and option award agreements. These benefits were based on individual negotiations with Mr. Bhasin in connection with his commencement of employment with us and are described in more detail in "—Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grant of Plan-Based Awards Table—Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers—Pramod Bhasin" and "—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control."

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grant of Plan-Based Awards Table

The numbers of options and shares, as well as the exercise price and per share purchase price of such options and shares are shown having given effect to the 2007 Reorganization.

        Pramod Bhasin.    We entered into an employment agreement with Pramod Bhasin, our President and Chief Executive Officer, effective as of January 1, 2005. The employment agreement has an indefinite term and may be terminated by us or Mr. Bhasin or due to Mr. Bhasin's death or disability, subject to the termination provisions described below. The employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of not less than $567,500, which will be reviewed annually by our board of directors, and a target annual cash bonus equal to 120% of annual base salary, subject to attainment of performance criteria established by our board of directors. For 2006, as discussed in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis," the compensation committee awarded a bonus in excess of the maximum provided in the employment agreement in recognition of Mr. Bhasin's outstanding individual performance and contribution to our success.

        Mr. Bhasin is entitled to benefits, perquisites and fringe benefits that are no less favorable than the benefits and perquisites provided to our other senior executives and up to $200,000 in reimbursement for lease, maintenance and utility payments in connection with his housing and expenses relating to his automobile and driver.

As of December 31, 2006, Genpact Management Investors, LLC held shares in us indirectly through GICo, an investment entity of General Atlantic and Oak Hill. In connection with the 2007 Reorganization, we expect that Genpact Management Investors, LLC will be liquidated and that the shares it holds in our Company will be distributed directly to Mr. Bhasin and our other employees who currently hold Company shares through this entity.

        Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Bhasin also received 3,618,000 Company options. Of these, 3,165,750 Company options are subject to time-based vesting and the remaining 452,250 Company options are subject to performance-based vesting (the "performance options"). The Company options were granted on July 26, 2005. Information with respect to these grants is included in the "—Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End" table.

        Mr. Bhasin is also entitled to retention bonus payments upon the occurrence of any of the following: (a) January 1, 2010, (b) a change in control (as defined in the 2005 Plan), (c) the termination of Mr. Bhasin's employment under the employment agreement (other than by Genpact Limited for cause (as defined in his employment agreement)) and (d) an Investor Group Sale (as defined below), provided such payment is permitted under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), subject to his continued employment with us until the applicable time. The maximum aggregate retention bonus amounts payable is $5,000,000, and any previously paid retention bonus amounts are subtracted from subsequent retention bonus amounts payable. Any retention bonus payment will be paid out at our election in cash, in our common shares or any combination of cash and our common shares within five business days following the triggering event. An "Investor Group Sale" is defined as a sale or other disposition by General Atlantic or Oak Hill of any number of our common shares (other than dispositions between such entities and their affiliates).

        Generally, with some modification in the event of an Investor Group Sale, as described below, the retention bonus is equal to the product of a vested percentage (described below) and $5,000,000 less the excess of $11,000,000 over the then current fair market value of 3,165,750 of our common shares, subject to adjustment to reflect stock splits or other changes in our company's capital structure. The retention bonus in the event of an Investor Group Sale is equal to the product of the general formula for the retention bonus described above and the percentage of our common shares sold in the aggregate (including prior sales) by such entities. No retention bonus amounts were paid to Mr. Bhasin under his employment agreement prior to this offering. Depending on the number of common shares sold by the Investor Group in connection with this offering we expect that Mr. Bhasin will receive a retention bonus payment of approximately $271,000 in connection with this offering provided such payment is permitted under Section 409 of the Code.

        The vested percentage for determining the amount of the retention bonus amount payable upon a triggering event begins at 0% on January 1, 2005 and increases by 5% every three months thereafter until it reaches 100% on January 1, 2010, subject to special adjustments if Mr. Bhasin's employment is terminated, as described below. Mr. Bhasin shall not receive any unpaid retention bonus if terminated for cause. In the event of a change in control other than the acquisition of our Company for non-cash consideration and Mr. Bhasin continues to be the Chief Executive Officer of the surviving company then the vested percentage will be 100%. In addition, if following a change in control involving the acquisition of our Company for non-cash consideration, Mr. Bhasin's employment is terminated due to death or disability, by us without cause or by Mr. Bhasin for good reason (as defined below), the vested percentage will be 100%.

        For purposes of Mr. Bhasin's employment agreement, the term "good reason" means reducing the nature or scope of Mr. Bhasin's authorities or duties, reduction in base salary, target bonus or fringe benefits or requiring Mr. Bhasin to report to any person other than our board of directors, which has not been cured by us within 30 days following notice by Mr. Bhasin.

        In the event of a termination of his employment, Mr. Bhasin will receive various payments and benefits pursuant to his employment agreement. Following the termination of Mr. Bhasin's employment for any reason, including for cause (as defined in his employment agreement) Mr. Bhasin is entitled to a pension benefit of $190,000 per year, payable on the same terms and conditions as the benefit accrued by Mr. Bhasin under the General Electric Company Pension Plan, as amended and restated as of July 1, 2003. If Mr. Bhasin's employment terminates due to his death or disability, Mr. Bhasin or his estate, as applicable, will receive a pro-rated bonus for the fiscal year of termination and payment of any vested but unpaid portion of the retention bonus, calculated as though Mr. Bhasin's employment continued for 12 months after such termination. If Mr. Bhasin's employment is terminated by Mr. Bhasin voluntarily, he will receive a pro-rated bonus for the fiscal year of termination if the performance criteria for the year are achieved and any vested but unpaid portion of the retention bonus. Such payments would be made in lump sum following termination.

98



        If Mr. Bhasin's employment is terminated by us without cause (as defined in the employment agreement) or by Mr. Bhasin for good reason, Mr. Bhasin is entitled to a lump sum payment, within five days of such termination, of an amount equal to a pro-rated bonus for the year in which termination occurs and any vested but unpaid portion of the retention bonus, calculated as though Mr. Bhasin's employment continued for 12 months after such termination (or in case of terminations prior to January 1, 2007, as though employment continued for 24 months), plus an amount equal to the two times the sum Mr. Bhasin's then current base salary and the annual bonus received for the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year of termination. In addition, we will continue to provide Mr. Bhasin and his dependents with health benefits at the same level of coverage and benefits as is provided to our US-based senior executives for two years following the date of termination, or if such continuation is not permitted under the relevant plans, an amount in cash equal to the amount necessary to provide Mr. Bhasin with such health benefits.

        Mr. Bhasin is not entitled to receive any payment of any unpaid retention bonus if terminated by us for cause.

        Mr. Bhasin's payments upon termination of employment described above are subject to his execution of a release. The release would also be executed by us and release Mr. Bhasin from any claims by us relating to Mr. Bhasin's employment or services other than claims based on acts or omissions of Mr. Bhasin that involve fraud or which are not known to the non-employee directors on the date of such release. The release also includes a mutual non-disparagement provision.

        Under his employment agreement, for one year after the termination of his employment, Mr. Bhasin is not permitted to engage in or carry on, directly or indirectly, any enterprise, whether as an advisor, principal, agent, partner, officer, director, employee, shareholder (other than certain minor passive ownership), associate or consultant to any of a specified group of five companies or any successor of any such entity, which group may be amended annually by our board of directors so long as the number of entities does not exceed five. In addition, for two years after his termination of employment, Mr. Bhasin is not permitted knowingly to (a) attempt to influence, persuade or induce or assist any other person in so doing, any of our employees or independent contractors to give up, or to not commence, employment or a business relationship with us, (b) unless otherwise contrary to law, directly or indirectly, through direction to any third party, hire or engage, or cause to be hired or engaged, any person who is or was one of our employees or independent contractors or (c) attempt to influence, persuade or induce, or assist any other person in so doing, any of our agents, consultants, vendors, suppliers or clients to give up or not commence, a business relationship with us.

        N.V. Tyagarajan.    We entered into an employment agreement with N.V. Tyagarajan, our Executive Vice President and Head of Sales, Marketing and Business Development, on September 21, 2005. The employment agreement has an indefinite term and may be terminated by us or Mr. Tyagarajan or due to Mr. Tyagarajan's death or disability, subject to the termination provisions described below. The employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of not less than $300,000 and a target bonus of 100% of annual base salary, capped at $500,000. For 2006, as discussed in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis," the compensation committee awarded a bonus in excess of the maximum provided in the employment agreement in recognition of Mr. Tyagarajan's outstanding individual performance and contribution to our success. Mr. Tyagarajan is entitled to benefits and perquisites generally available to our other senior executives and is entitled to four weeks vacation and automobile perquisites.

        Under his employment agreement, Mr. Tyagarajan received 904,500 Company options on July 26, 2005.

        If Mr. Tyagarajan's employment is terminated by us for cause (as defined in his employment agreement) or if Mr. Tyagarajan terminates his employment for any reason, for one year following such termination, Mr. Tyagarajan may not engage in or carry on, directly or indirectly, any enterprise, whether as an advisor, principal, agent, partner, officer, director, employee, shareholder, associate or consultant for or on behalf of any of a specified group of five companies. If Mr. Tyagarajan's employment is terminated by us without cause, he will be entitled to a lump sum cash payment equal to 50% of his base salary in

99



effect on the date of termination, in addition to any earned but unpaid base salary and bonus, and will be subject to the above-described restriction for six months following his termination. In addition, under his employment agreement, Mr. Tyagarajan may not, for thirty-six months following the termination of his employment, (a) directly or indirectly solicit any person who is on the date of Mr. Tyagarajan termination our employee or independent contractor, (b) attempt to influence, persuade or induce, or assist any other person in doing so, any entity that is on the date of his termination a client of ours to give up or not commence, a business relationship with us or (c) directly or indirectly solicit for business or corporate opportunity any entity that is one of our clients on the date of his termination.

        Other Named Executive Officers.    We do not have employment agreements with any of our other named executive officers.

2007 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan

        We adopted our 2007 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, or the 2007 Plan, on July 13, 2007. The purpose of the 2007 Plan is to promote our interests and the interests of our stockholders by (i) attracting and retaining exceptional directors, officers, employees and consultants (including prospective directors, officers, employees and consultants) and (ii) enabling such individuals to participate in our long-term growth and financial success.

        Types of Awards.    The 2007 Plan provides for the grant of options intended to qualify as incentive share options, or ISOs under Section 422 of the Code, non-qualified share options, or NSOs, share appreciation rights, or SARs, restricted share awards, restricted share units, or RSUs, performance units, cash incentive awards and other equity-based or equity-related awards.

        Plan Administration.    The 2007 Plan is administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors or such other committee as our board may designate to administer the 2007 Plan. Subject to the terms of the 2007 Plan and applicable law, the committee has sole authority to administer the 2007 Plan, including, but not limited to, the authority to (1) designate plan participants, (2) determine the type or types of awards to be granted to a participant, (3) determine the number of our common shares to be covered by, or with respect to which payments, rights or other matters are to be calculated in connection with, awards, (4) determine the terms and conditions of awards, (5) determine the vesting schedules of awards and, if certain performance criteria must be attained in order for an award to vest or be settled or paid, establish such performance criteria and certify whether, and to what extent, such performance criteria have been attained, (6) determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances awards may be settled or exercised in cash, our common shares, other securities, other awards or other property, or cancelled, forfeited or suspended and the method or methods by which awards may be settled, exercised, cancelled, forfeited or suspended, (7) determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances cash, our common shares, other securities, other awards, other property and other amounts payable with respect to an award will be deferred either automatically or at the election of the holder thereof or of the committee, (8) interpret, administer, reconcile any inconsistency in, correct any default in and supply any omission in, the 2007 Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to, or award made under, the 2007 Plan, (9) establish, amend, suspend or waive such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the 2007 Plan, (10) accelerate the vesting or exercisability of, payment for or lapse of restrictions on, awards, (11) amend an outstanding award or grant a replacement award for an award previously granted under the 2007 Plan if, in its sole discretion, the committee determines that the tax consequences of such award to us or the participant differ from those consequences that were expected to occur on the date the award was granted or that clarifications or interpretations of, or changes to, tax law or regulations permit awards to be granted that have more favorable tax consequences than initially anticipated and (12) make any other determination and take any other action that the committee deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the 2007 Plan.

100



        Shares Available For Awards.    Subject to adjustment for changes in capitalization and the provisions described below, the aggregate number of our common shares that may be delivered pursuant to awards granted under the 2007 Plan is 9,406,800, of which the maximum number of shares that may be delivered pursuant to ISOs granted under the 2007 Plan is 9,406,800.

        If an award granted under the 2007 Plan or any Prior Company Stock Plan (as defined below) is forfeited, or otherwise expires, terminates or is cancelled without the delivery of shares, then the shares covered by the forfeited, expired, terminated or cancelled award will be added to the number of shares otherwise available to be delivered pursuant to awards under the 2007 Plan. If shares of the Company (whether issued upon exercise, vesting or settlement of an award or owned by the participant) are surrendered (including shares withheld from delivery on exercise, vesting or settlement of an award) or tendered to the Company in payment of the exercise price of an award or any taxes (including, but not limited to, fringe benefit taxes) required to be withheld or paid or payable in respect of an award (including with respect to, as a result of or with respect to the grant, issuance or, if applicable, exercise, vesting or settlement of an award), such shares will be added to the number of shares otherwise available to be delivered pursuant to awards under the 2007 Plan.

        In the case of options and SARs that are settled in shares, the maximum aggregate number of our common shares with respect to which such options and SARs may be granted to any participant under the 2007 Plan in any fiscal year is 3,618,000. In the case of awards other than options and SARs that are settled in shares, the maximum aggregate number of our common shares with respect to which such awards may be granted to any participant under the 2007 Plan in any fiscal year is 3,618,000. In the case of awards that are settled in cash based on the fair market value (as defined in the 2007 Plan) of our common shares, the maximum aggregate amount of cash that may be paid pursuant to such awards granted to any participant under the 2007 Plan in any fiscal year is equal to the per common share fair market value as of the relevant vesting, payment or settlement date multiplied by 3,618,000, in the case of cash-settled SARs, and 3,618,000, in the case of awards other than cash-settled SARs. In the case of all other awards, the maximum aggregate amount of cash and other property (valued at fair market value) other than common shares that may be paid or delivered pursuant to awards to any participant under the 2007 Plan in any fiscal year is $8,000,000.

        In the event of any recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up or spin-off, reorganization, amalgamation, consolidation, combination, repurchase or exchange affecting the shares of our common stock, the committee will make adjustments and other substitutions to awards under the 2007 Plan in order to preserve the value of the awards. In the event of any extraordinary dividend or other extraordinary distribution, the committee may make adjustments and other substitutions to awards under the 2007 Plan in order to preserve the value of the awards.

        The committee may grant awards in assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by any company that we acquire or with which we combine. Any shares issued by us through the assumption of or substitution for outstanding awards granted by a company that we acquire will not reduce the aggregate number of shares of our common stock available for awards under the 2007 Plan, except that awards issued in substitution for ISOs will reduce the number of shares of our common stock available for ISOs under the 2007 Plan.

        Any shares of our common stock issued under the 2007 Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares of our common stock or of treasury shares of our common stock.

        Eligible Participants.    Any of our, or our affiliates', directors, officers, employees or consultants (including any prospective directors, officers, employees or consultants) is eligible to participate in the 2007 Plan.

        Stock Options.    The committee may grant both ISOs and NSOs under the 2007 Plan. Except as otherwise determined by the committee in an award agreement, the exercise price for options must be equal to or greater than the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date. In the case of ISOs

101



granted to an employee who, at the time of the grant of an option, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our stock or the stock of any of our affiliates, the exercise price cannot be less than 110% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the grant date. All options granted under the 2007 Plan will be NSOs unless the applicable award agreement expressly states that the option is intended to be an ISO. All terms and conditions of all grants of ISOs will be subject to and comply with Section 422 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. All ISOs and NSOs are intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code.

        The vesting schedule of awards under the 2007 Plan shall be as provided in the applicable award agreement. Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable award agreement, each option will expire upon the earlier of (i) the tenth anniversary of the date the option is granted and (ii) either (x) 90 days after the participant who is holding the option ceases to be a director, officer or employee of us or one of our affiliates for any reason other than the participant's death or (y) six months after the date the participant who is holding the option ceases to be a director, officer or employee of us or one of our affiliates by reason of the participant's death. The exercise price (and any applicable taxes) may be paid with cash (or its equivalent) or, in the sole discretion of the committee, with previously acquired shares of our common stock or through delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell our common stock otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the option (provided that there is a public market for our common stock at such time), or a combination of any of the foregoing.

        Stock Appreciation Rights.    The committee may grant SARs under the 2007 Plan either alone or in tandem with, or in addition to, any other award permitted to be granted under the 2007 Plan. SARs granted in tandem with, or in addition to, an award may be granted either at the same time as the award or at a later time. Subject to the applicable award agreement, the exercise price of each share of our common stock covered by a SAR must be equal to or greater than the fair market value of such share on the grant date. Upon exercise of a SAR, the holder will receive cash, shares of our common stock, other securities, other awards, other property or a combination of any of the foregoing, as determined by the committee, equal in value to the excess over the exercise price, if any, of the fair market value of the common stock subject to the SAR at the exercise date. All SARs are intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code. Subject to the provisions of the 2007 Plan and the applicable award agreement, the committee will determine, at or after the grant of a SAR, the vesting criteria, term, methods of exercise, methods and form of settlement and any other terms and conditions of any SAR.

        Restricted Shares and Restricted Stock Units.    Subject to the provisions of the 2007 Plan, the committee may grant restricted shares and RSUs. Restricted shares and RSUs may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered except as provided in the 2007 Plan or the applicable award agreement. Upon the grant of a restricted share, a certificate will be issued and registered in the name of the participant and deposited by the participant, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with us or a custodian designated by the committee or us. Upon the lapse of the restrictions applicable to such restricted share, we or the custodian, as applicable, will deliver such certificate to the participant or his or her legal representative.

        An RSU will be granted with respect to one share of our common stock or have a value equal to the fair market value of one such share. Upon the lapse of restrictions applicable to an RSU, the RSU may be paid in cash, shares of our common stock, other securities, other awards or other property, as determined by the committee, or in accordance with the applicable award agreement. The committee may, on such terms and conditions as it may determine, provide a participant who holds restricted shares or RSUs with dividends or dividend equivalents, payable in cash, shares of our common stock, other securities, other awards or other property. If a restricted share or RSU is intended to qualify as "qualified performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code, the requirements described below in "—Performance Compensation Awards" must be satisfied.

102



        Performance Units.    Subject to the provisions of the 2007 Plan, the committee may grant performance units to participants. Performance units are awards with an initial value established by the committee (or that is determined by reference to a valuation formula specified by the committee or the fair market value of our common stock) at the time of the grant. In its discretion, the committee will set performance goals that, depending on the extent to which they are met during a specified performance period, will determine the number and/or value of performance units that will be paid out to the participant. The committee, in its sole discretion, may pay earned performance units in the form of cash, shares of our common stock or any combination thereof that has an aggregate fair market value equal to the value of the earned performance units at the close of the applicable performance period. The determination of the committee with respect to the form and timing of payout of performance units will be set forth in the applicable award agreement. The committee may, on such terms and conditions as it may determine, provide a participant who holds performance units with dividends or dividend equivalents, payable in cash, shares of our common stock, other securities, other awards or other property. If a performance unit is intended to qualify as "qualified performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code, the requirements below described in "—Performance Compensation Awards" must be satisfied.

        Cash Incentive Awards.    Subject to the provisions of the 2007 Plan, the committee may grant cash incentive awards payable upon the attainment of performance goals. If a cash incentive award is intended to qualify as "qualified performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code, the requirements described below in "—Performance Compensation Awards" must be satisfied.

        Other Stock-Based Awards.    Subject to the provisions of the 2007 Plan, the committee may grant to participants other equity-based or equity-related compensation awards, including vested stock. The committee may determine the amounts and terms and conditions of any such awards provided that they comply with applicable laws.

        Performance Compensation Awards.    The committee may designate any award granted under the 2007 Plan (other than ISOs, NSOs and SARs) as a performance compensation award in order to qualify such award as "qualified performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code. The committee will, in its sole discretion, designate within the first 90 days of a performance period the participants who will be eligible to receive performance compensation awards in respect of such performance period. The committee will also determine the length of performance periods, the types of awards to be issued, the performance criteria that will be used to establish the performance goals, the kinds and levels of performance goals and any performance formula used to determine whether a performance compensation award has been earned for the performance period.

        The performance criteria will be limited to the following: (1) net income before or after taxes, (2) earnings before or after taxes (including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), (3) operating income, (4) earnings per share, (5) return on stockholders' equity, (6) return on investment or capital, (7) return on assets, (8) level or amount of acquisitions, (9) share price, (10) profitability and profit margins, (11) market share, (12) revenues or sales (based on units or dollars), (13) costs, (14) cash flow, (15) working capital and (17) level of attrition. These performance criteria may be applied on an absolute basis or be relative to one or more of our peer companies or indices or any combination thereof. The performance goals and periods may vary from participant to participant and from time to time. To the extent required under Section 162(m) of the Code, the committee will, within the first 90 days of the applicable performance period, define in an objective manner the method of calculating the performance criteria it selects to use for the performance period.

        The committee may adjust or modify the calculation of performance goals for a performance period in the event of, in anticipation of, or in recognition of, any unusual or extraordinary corporate item, transaction, event or development or any other unusual or nonrecurring events affecting us, any of our affiliates or our financial statements or the financial statements of any of our affiliates, or changes in applicable rules, rulings, regulations or other requirements of any governmental body or securities exchange, accounting principles, law or business conditions, so long as that adjustment or modification

103



does not cause the performance compensation award to fail to qualify as "qualified performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code. In order to be eligible for payment in respect of a performance compensation award for a particular performance period, participants must be employed by us on the last day of the performance period (unless otherwise determined in the discretion of the compensation committee), the performance goals for such period must be satisfied and certified by the committee and the performance formula must determine that all or some portion of the performance compensation award has been earned for such period. The committee may, in its sole discretion, reduce or eliminate the amount of a performance compensation award earned in a particular performance period, even if applicable performance goals have been attained. In no event will any discretionary authority granted to the committee under the 2007 Plan be used to grant or provide payment in respect of performance compensation awards for which performance goals have not been attained, increase a performance compensation award for any participant at any time after the first 90 days of the performance period or increase a performance compensation award above the maximum amount payable under the underlying award.

        Amendment and Termination of the 2007 Plan.    Subject to any applicable law or government regulation, the 2007 Plan may be amended, modified or terminated by our Board of Directors without the approval of our shareholders, to satisfy any requirement of a stockholder approved plan for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code and to the rules of the NYSE, except that shareholder approval will be required for any amendment that would (i) increase the maximum number of shares of our common stock available for awards under the 2007 Plan, (ii) amend, modify or terminate the requirements under the 2007 Plan with respect to minimum exercise price of options and SARs, (iii) decrease the exercise price of any option or SAR that, at the time of such decrease, has an exercise price less than the then current-fair market value of a common share or cancel, in exchange for cash or any other award, any award or (iv) change the class of employees or other individuals eligible to participate in the 2007 Plan. No modification, amendment or termination of the 2007 Plan that is adverse to a participant will be effective without the consent of the affected participant, unless otherwise provided by the committee in the applicable award agreement.

        The committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate any award previously granted, prospectively or retroactively. However, unless otherwise provided by the committee in the applicable award agreement or in the 2007 Plan, any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would materially and adversely impair the rights of any participant to any award previously granted will not to that extent be effective without the consent of the affected participant. In addition, shareholder approval is required for any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would require shareholder approval under the 2007 Plan.

        The committee is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of awards in the event of any unusual or nonrecurring corporate event (including the occurrence of a change of control of our company) affecting us, any of our affiliates or our financial statements or the financial statements of any of our affiliates, or of changes in applicable rules, rulings, regulations or other requirements of any governmental body or securities exchange, accounting principles or law whenever the committee, in its discretion, determines that those adjustments are appropriate or desirable, including providing for the substitution or assumption of awards, accelerating the exercisability of, lapse of restrictions on, or termination of, awards or providing for a period of time for exercise prior to the occurrence of such event and, in its discretion, the committee may provide for a cash payment to the holder of an award in consideration for the cancellation of such award.

        Change of Control.    Pursuant to the 2007 Plan, unless otherwise provided in an individual award agreement, in the event of a change of control of our company, the board of directors may provide that existing awards be assumed, substituted or continued. If the board of directors does not make such provision:

104



        Unless otherwise provided pursuant to an award agreement, a change of control is defined to mean any of the following events, generally:


        Term of the 2007 Plan.    No award may be granted under the 2007 Plan after the tenth anniversary of the date the 2007 Plan was approved by our stockholders.

        We have also utilized the following equity-based compensation plans as an additional means to attract able persons to enter and remain in our employ and to provide a means whereby our employees, managers, directors and consultants can acquire and maintain share ownership and to further align the interests of award recipients and our shareholders: the Gecis Global Holdings 2005 Stock Option Plan, the Genpact Global Holdings 2006 Stock Option Plan and the Genpact Global Holdings 2007 Stock Option Plan (collectively, the "Prior Company Stock Plans").

        Now that we have adopted the 2007 Plan, we will no longer issue options under the Prior Company Stock Plans. At March 31, 2007, there were options to purchase 17,685,508 common shares outstanding under the Prior Company Stock Plans at a weighted average exercise price of $6.28 per share, including options held by each of our named executive officers (such amounts give effect to the 2007 Reorganization). Other than the grant to Mr. Cogny indicated in the "Grant of Plan Based Awards Table," we did not grant any Company options to our named executive officers in 2006.

        The terms of each Prior Company Stock Plan are substantially similar. The Prior Company Stock Plans are administered by the compensation committee, which is authorized to, among other things, select the officers and other employees who will receive grants and determine the exercise price and vesting schedule of the options.

        The exercise price per share of our common stock subject to the Company options is set by our compensation committee at the time of grant and is not less than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. Prior to our offering, the fair market value was determined by our board of directors or compensation committee, as applicable, as required under our Prior Company Stock Plans.

        Our board of directors may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Prior Company Stock Plans or any award agreement under the Prior Company Stock Plans at any time, subject to any required shareholder approvals. No such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination that would impair the rights of any participant with respect to any option will be effective without the consent of the affected participant, unless such amendment, alternation, suspension, discontinuance or termination is required by applicable law.

        Company options granted under the Prior Company Stock Plans may not be transferred, except in certain limited circumstances.

        We intend to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-8 covering our common shares issuable under the Prior Company Stock Plans, as required under the Company Stock Plans.

        For a description of the provisions in our Prior Company Stock Plans and related arrangements relating to termination of employment or a change of control, see "—Employment Agreement With Named Executive Officers—Company Stock Plans."

        Messrs. Gour and Maekawa received payments under the General Electric Special Bonus Plan, pursuant to which General Electric agreed to pay such executives a retention bonus payment, provided that the executive remained with us for 18 months following the 2004 Reorganization. See "Prospectus Summary—The Company—2004 Reorganization."

        We provide our employees in the United States, including Messrs. Bhasin and Tyagarajan, with a tax-qualified defined contribution 401(k) plan, pursuant to which employees may elect to defer pre-tax salary amounts up to the limits set by the Internal Revenue Code. We match 100% of the first 4% of salary deferred by our employees under the 401(k) plan. In addition, we provide our employees in the United States with an additional employer contribution under our tax-qualified defined contribution profit-sharing plan.

        Pursuant to our employment agreement with Mr. Bhasin, following the termination of his employment for any reason, he is entitled to a pension benefit of $190,000, payable on the same terms and conditions as the benefit accrued by Mr. Bhasin under the General Electric Company Pension Plan, as amended and restated as of July 1, 2003.

        We maintain a Gratuity Plan, which is a defined benefit plan required to be provided to all Indian employees by applicable law, including Mr. Gour. In addition, in India, we maintain a Superannuation Plan, which is a defined contribution plan under which we do not make any employer contributions, and a Provident Fund Plan which is a defined contribution plan required under applicable law.

        We do not provide retirement benefits to our other named executive officers.

        (1)   These Company options were granted on July 26, 2005, and vest with respect to 20% on the first anniversary of January 1, 2005; thereafter, 5% of the Company options vest every three months until the Company options are 100% vested.

        (2)   Mr. Bhasin was granted 452,250 Company options under the Company Stock Plans on July 26, 2005, that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions (the "Company performance options"). Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Bhasin's award agreement, in the event of any "partial exit" (defined as a sale or other disposition, which does not constitute and occurs prior to a change in control, by any of General Atlantic and Oak Hill (other than to General Atlantic, Oak Hill and their respective affiliates) of any number of our common shares or other securities), if the "internal rate of return" (as defined in the award agreement) on a cumulative basis is at least 25% in connection with such partial exit, the Company performance options will vest with respect to a percentage of the Company performance options equal to the product of 0.8 multiplied by the percentage of the aggregate number of common shares beneficially owned by General Atlantic and Oak Hill on January 1, 2005, which have in the aggregate been sold in such partial exit and all prior partial exits. In the event of a partial exit where General Atlantic and Oak Hill realize an internal rate of return on a cumulative basis of at least 30% in connection with such partial exit, the relevant multiple is 0.9. In the event the internal rate of return on a cumulative basis is at least 35%, the relevant multiple is 1.0. Any Company performance options remaining unvested following a partial exit may vest upon the occurrence of other vesting events. We expect that Company performance options with respect to approximately 49,020 shares will vest in connection with the "partial exit" resulting from the offering.

         In addition to potential vesting dates based on "partial exits" described above, the Company performance options will also be subject to vesting upon the earlier of a change in control (as defined in "—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control—Company Stock Plans") and January 1, 2010, in each case subject to Mr. Bhasin's continued employment. Upon the earlier of such events, the Company performance options will vest with respect to a percentage based on the internal rate of return (as defined in the option award agreement) realized by General Atlantic and Oak Hill. If the internal rate of return is at least 25%, the Company performance options will become vested with respect to a percentage equal to the excess of 80% of the Company performance options over the aggregate percentage of Company performance options that have become vested and exercisable prior to the vesting date pursuant to any partial exit. If the internal rate of return is at least 30%, the Company performance

107


options will become vested with respect to a percentage equal to the excess of 90% of the Company performance options over the aggregate percentage of Company performance options that have become vested prior to the vesting date pursuant to any partial exit. If the internal rate of return is at least 35%, the Company performance options will become vested with respect to a percentage equal to the excess of 100% of the Company performance options over the aggregate percentage of Company performance options that have become vested prior to the vesting date pursuant to any partial exit. See "—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control" for details on the consequences of certain terminations on the vesting of the Company performance options.

        (3)   These Company options were granted on July 26, 2005, and vest with respect to 20% on the first anniversary of February 2, 2005 and, thereafter, 5% of the Company options vest every three months until the Company options are 100% vested.

        (4)   These Company options were granted on July 26, 2005, and vest with respect to 20% on the first anniversary of March 1, 2005; thereafter, 5% of the Company options vest every three months until the Company options are 100% vested.

        (5)   These Company options were granted on February 27, 2006, and vest with respect to 10% on March 1, 2007; 20% on March 1, 2008; 30% on March 1, 2009; and 40% on March 1, 2010.

(1)
The accumulated benefit is based on a benefit of $190,000 per year payable to Mr. Bhasin under his employment agreement. The present value has been calculated based on the following assumptions: (a) an annual interest rate of 5.75%; (b) the UK published mortality tables PA(90), suitably adjusted; (c) a commencement date of January 8, 2018; (d) a retirement age of 65; and (e) no death or retirement prior to commencement date.

(2)
We are required to provide all Indian employees with benefits under a Gratuity Plan, which is a defined benefit plan. Assumptions used in the calculation of this amount are included in Note 17 "Employee benefit plans" to our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

        We do not provide our named executive officers with any nonqualified deferred compensation.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

        Below is a description of the potential payments and benefits that would be provided to our named executive officers upon termination of their employment or a change in control under their employment agreements and award agreements under the Company Stock Plans.

108


Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers

        We have entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Bhasin and Tyagarajan, which provide for certain payments and benefits to be paid to each upon certain terminations of employment. See "—Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grant of Plan-Based Awards Table—Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers" for a description of these provisions.

Company Stock Plans

        Under the Company Stock Plans, upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined below) or dissolution or liquidation, our board of directors may provide that all Company options will become immediately exercisable. Our board of directors may also, upon at least ten days' advance notice, cancel any outstanding Company options and pay to the holders of such Company options, in cash or shares, the value of such Company options based upon the price per share received by our other shareholders in the event of a change in control. Our obligations under the Company Stock Plans will be binding upon any successor corporation or organization. The Company Stock Plans require that we make appropriate provisions to preserve optionees' rights under the Company Stock Plans including, where it is intended that Company options survive a change in control, by requiring that outstanding Company options be assumed or that substantially equivalent options be substituted for our outstanding Company options. The term "change in control" for purposes of our Company Stock Plans is defined as the following: (a) the acquisition by any person or entity (other than General Atlantic, Oak Hill or GE Capital International (Mauritius) or any of their respective affiliates (referred to for purposes of this definition as the "Investors"), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of our directors, including, without limitation, as a result, in whole or part, by reason of a sale or other disposition by General Atlantic, Oak Hill or any of their respective affiliates of their direct or indirect interest in GICo and/or Genpact Global (Lux)) or any successor entities; (b) any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, tender or exchange offer or any other transaction with or affecting us, GICo and/or Genpact Global (Lux) as a result of which a person or entity other than an Investor owns after such transaction, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of our directors; or (c) the sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition to any person or entity, other than an Investor, of all or substantially all, of our assets and our consolidated subsidiaries.

        Subject to certain limitations relating to incentive stock options and exemptions available under certain securities regulations, Company options granted under the Company Stock Plans will be subject to adjustment or substitution as to the number, price or kind of share or other consideration subject to such Company options or as otherwise determined by our board of directors to be equitable in the event of changes in our outstanding shares or capital structure by reason of share or extraordinary cash dividends, share splits, reverse share splits, recapitalization, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, separations, combinations, exchanges or other relevant corporate transactions or changes in capitalization or in the event of any change in applicable laws or any change in circumstances which results in or would result in any substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, participants, or which otherwise warrants equitable adjustment because it interferes with the intended operation of the Company Stock Plans.

        Generally, except as described below, our Company option award agreements with our named executive officers do not provide for accelerated vesting upon a termination of employment. With respect to the 3,165,750 Company options granted to Mr. Bhasin on July 26, 2005, in the event Mr. Bhasin's employment agreement is terminated due to death or disability (as defined in his employment agreement), such Company options will become vested as to that number of additional option shares that would have vested if Mr. Bhasin had remained employed by us for an additional period of 12 months following the

109



date of such termination. If Mr. Bhasin's employment is terminated by us without cause (as defined in his employment agreement) or by Mr. Bhasin for good reason (as defined in his employment agreement and described above), the Company options will become vested and exercisable on the date of such termination as to that number of additional option shares that would have vested for an additional 12 months (or in the case of terminations on or prior to December 31, 2006, 24 months). In the event of a change in control of our Company Mr. Bhasin's Company options described above will become fully vested.

        With respect to the Company performance options, If Mr. Bhasin's employment is terminated due to death or disability or, after December 31, 2006, by us without cause or by Mr. Bhasin for good reason, the Company performance options will become vested on the date of such termination as to that number of option shares, if any, that is necessary to vest Mr. Bhasin an additional 20% of the total option shares. See description of performance-based vesting under the "Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End" table for consequences of a change in control with respect to the Company performance options.

        In the event Mr. Bhasin's employment is terminated due to death or disability, by us without cause or by Mr. Bhasin for good reason, all his vested Company options and his Company performance options will continue to be exercisable for three years. In the event of a termination by Mr. Bhasin without good reason, all his vested Company options and his Company performance options will be exercisable for 90 days following termination. In the event of termination by us for cause, all his vested and unvested options will terminate.

Termination and Change of Control Potential Payments and Benefits Table

        The amounts included in the table below do not include payments and benefits to the extent they are provided on a non-discriminatory basis to salaried employees generally upon termination of employment. The amounts indicated are based on the payments and benefit that would have been incurred by the company if the named executive officer's employment had terminated as of December 29, 2006, which is the last business day of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. Where applicable, the value of one of our common shares on December 29, 2006 was $10.55, which we estimate to be the fair market value of our common shares as of that date.

Amount represents the following: (a) payment in lump sum of an amount equal to a pro-rated bonus for the year in which termination occurs ($994,521); (b) payment of any vested but unpaid portion of the retention bonus, including the portion vesting on such termination of employment, or 75% of the retention bonus ($3,750,000); and (c) payment of an amount equal to the two times the sum of Mr. Bhasin's then current base salary, which was $610,000, and the annual bonus received for the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year of termination, which annual bonus was $850,500 in 2005 ($2,921,000). The formula used to calculate (b) would be different if we assumed Mr. Bhasin's employment terminated after December 31, 2006. See "—Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grant of Plan-Based Awards Table—Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers—Pramod Bhasin."

(3)
Amount represents the following: (a) value of pro-rated bonus for the fiscal year of termination assuming the performance criteria for the year are achieved ($994,521); and (b) payment of any vested but unpaid portion of the retention bonus, or 35% of the retention bonus ($1,750,000).

(4)
Amount represents the following: (a) value of pro-rated bonus for the fiscal year of termination assuming the performance criteria for the year achieved ($994,521); and (b) Payment of any vested but unpaid portion of the retention bonus, including the portion vesting on such termination of employment (an additional 12 months of vesting), or 55% of the retention bonus ($2,750,000).

(6)
Estimated value of vesting of additional 40% of the options held by Mr. Bhasin. The formula used to calculate the percent of Company options that would be subject to accelerated vesting would be different if we assumed Mr. Bhasin's employment terminated after December 31, 2006. See "—Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grant of Plan-Based Awards Table—Employment Agreement with Named Executive Officers—Pramod Bhasin."

(7)
Estimated value of vesting of additional 20% of the Company options held by Mr. Bhasin, assuming that the share price remains the same as the price on December 29, 2006, over the 12 month period following termination of employment.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

        Prior to our initial public offering, we did not pay our directors any cash compensation for service on the board of directors and committees of our board of directors. From 2005 to 2006 we granted each of our non-employee directors, other than the chairman of the audit committee of the board of directors, 81,405 Company options, with a per share exercise price equal to the per share fair market value of the underlying shares on the grant date, upon the commencement of his or her service as a director. The directors who received such Company options are as follows: J. Madden, R. Scott and M. Spence. The chairman of the audit committee, J. Barter, received 85,928 Company options, with an exercise price equal to the per share fair market value of the underlying shares on the grant date. Twenty percent of these Company options vest on the first anniversary of the date of the first board of directors meeting attended by the director, and thereafter, vest at the rate of five percent of the Company options per quarter until the Company options are 100% vested on the fifth anniversary of the date of the first board of directors meeting attended by the director, subject to continued service as a director.

        Our practice prior to our initial public offering has been not to provide compensation for employee directors and directors who are designated by our majority shareholders for their service on the board and board committees, although we do reimburse all of our directors for all out-of-pocket business expenses. Following our initial public offering, our non-employee directors will each receive an annual retainer of $40,000, except that Mr. Barter will receive an annual retainer of $75,000 for his service as chairman of the audit committee. In addition, it is currently our policy that following our initial public offering we will grant each of our directors who is appointed to our board of directors by our majority shareholders and who does not already have Company options, 45,225 Company options.

        The following table sets forth the compensation of our directors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The numbers of options are shown having given effect to the 2007 Reorganization.

Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in Note 18 "Stock-based compensation" to our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 included elsewhere in this prospectus. However, as required, the amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions.

        (2)   Amounts under this column represent reimbursement for travel expenses. Other than Mr. Spence, none of our directors were reimbursed for expenses greater than $10,000.

        (3)   As of December 31, 2006, Mr. Barter held 85,928 Company options. The per share grant date fair value of these Company options, which were granted on September 28, 2005, was $0.93.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Shareholders Agreement

        Prior to the consummation of this offering, we and certain affiliates of GE, General Atlantic, Oak Hill and Wachovia (such entities the "Shareholders") will enter into an amended and restated shareholders agreement relating to the common shares the Shareholders hold in us. Pursuant to this agreement, at their respective shareholdings following consummation of this offering, GE will be entitled to nominate two persons to our board of directors and GICo, the investment vehicle owned by General Atlantic and Oak Hill, will be entitled to nominate four persons to our board of directors, and the Shareholders will agree to vote their shares to elect such persons. The number of directors that each of GE and GICo is entitled to appoint is reduced if their respective ownership in us declines below certain levels and such right ceases if such ownership is below 10% of our outstanding common shares.

        In addition, each of the Shareholders is subject to certain restrictions on the transfer of their common shares. GICo, General Atlantic and Oak Hill have agreed not to transfer their shares in us if such transfer would result in a change of control (as defined in the agreement) unless certain conditions are met which require that all outstanding common shares owned by the Shareholders are sold for cash or certain types of marketable securities (or both), provided that a limited number may be exchanged for equity of, or remain outstanding in, the surviving person in certain circumstances. In the event of certain transfers by GICo, each of GE and Wachovia has certain co-sale rights which permit them to sell shares to such transferee on the same terms and conditions.

        GE has agreed that prior to December 31, 2009, it will not make a transfer of our shares if such transfer would result in its owning less than 26,745,000 shares. However, if GICo and its permitted transferees own less than 40,117,500 shares, then GE would be permitted to make a transfer so long as the quotient obtained by dividing its remaining ownership percentage by its ownership percentage as of December 30, 2004 is equal to or greater than the quotient obtained by dividing the ownership percentage of GICo at such time by its ownership percentage as of December 30, 2004.

        Subject to the restrictions on GICo and GE set forth in the two preceding paragraphs, any Shareholder may transfer shares (i) to certain affiliates, subject to the restriction on GICo, General Atlantic and Oak Hill described in the next paragraph and (ii) in a registered offering, a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or a sale to a placement agent where an immediate resale pursuant to Regulation S or Rule 144A under the Securities Act is contemplated, subject to certain other limitations.

        Until December 31, 2009, GICo, General Atlantic and Oak Hill are also prohibited from transferring shares to a general partner, limited partner, shareholder, member or other equity holder of General Atlantic or Oak Hill without GE's prior written consent unless such transfer is a sale for value and on arms-length terms that would be subject to the co-sale rights described above.

        GE has agreed to grant GICo, and Wachovia has agreed to grant us, certain rights of first refusal in the event they desire to transfer shares other than to an affiliate or in a registered offering or a sale pursuant to Rule 144.

        The agreement grants the Shareholders certain rights to require us to register for public resale under the Securities Act all common shares that they request be registered after the expiration of the relevant lock-up period following this offering. In addition, the agreement grants the Shareholders piggyback rights on any registration for our account or the account of another Shareholder. These rights are subject to certain limitations, including customary cutbacks and other restrictions. In connection with this offering or the other registrations described above, we will indemnify any selling shareholders and we will bear all fees, costs and expenses, except underwriting discounts and selling commissions and except that the selling shareholders will reimburse us for out of pocket expenses in the case of a second demand registration within the first fifteen months beginning 180 days after the consummation of this offering or 150 days after

113



the consummation of this offering if a waiver of the underwriters lock-up agreement is granted in respect of any Shareholder.

        The Agreement also provides certain information rights to the Shareholders and regulates the parties' conduct concerning corporate opportunities.

Reorganization Agreement

        In order to effectuate making Genpact Limited the holding company for our business and certain other actions in connection therewith, we entered into a Reorganization Agreement with the other parties to the Shareholders Agreement that provided for the shareholders to exchange their shares in GGH and GGL for shares of Genpact Limited. The Reorganization Agreement also provided for the migrations of GGH and GGL from Luxembourg to Bermuda, the assumption by Genpact Limited of stock option plans of GGH and certain other related transactions. GE and GICo also agreed to indemnify us for certain taxes related to GGL.

        Our MSA with GE is for a term ending December 31, 2013. It can be renewed for a single three-year term upon mutual written agreement with at least twelve months prior written notice. Under the MSA, GE has agreed to purchase a stipulated minimum dollar amount of services or pay us certain costs in lieu thereof. The minimum annual volume commitment is $360 million for each of the six years beginning January 1, 2005. The annual commitment is then reduced in a phased manner for the final three years of the MSA, with the commitment being $270 million for 2011, $180 million for 2012, and $90 million for 2013. The minimum committed amount is subject to reduction in certain circumstances, including (1) as a result of the termination of any SOWs by GE for cause, (2) as a result of non-performance of services by us due to certain force majeure events or (3) in certain other circumstances relating to business offered to us by GE that we chose not to perform. In the event that the actual purchased dollar volume for any year falls below the minimum volume commitment, GE has agreed to make certain payments to us. The payments GE is required to pay to us if it does not meet the minimum volume commitment are significantly lower than the amount by which GE's purchases fall short of that minimum volume commitment. In the event that GE purchases more than the minimum volume commitment in a given year, it is entitled to a limited credit against future shortfalls.

        Our pricing arrangements with GE vary by SOW and include some time and materials contracts and some fixed price contracts, as well as productivity benefit sharing. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview."

        There is no restriction on our ability to provide services to other parties, except that we have agreed not to allow employees who have performed certain software-related services for GE to work on a similar project for companies that GE names in writing as its competitors for a period of 12 months following the completion of such services to GE. We have the right of first opportunity during the term of the MSA to respond to a request for proposal from GE in respect of any business process services that are (1) similar to those already provided to GE, (2) able to be provided by us in India, China, Hungary or Mexico and (3) anticipated to involve an annual purchase dollar volume in excess of $200,000, so long as GE has not previously terminated such services for cause. GE is not prevented from either negotiating or contracting for the outsourcing of services with other parties thereafter.

        GE can terminate the MSA for cause, which includes the failure to achieve certain performance standards, or upon a change in control of our company, which does not include a change in control arising from an initial public offering. GE can also terminate any pre-existing SOW for convenience, but only with a notice period and, in certain cases, the payment of certain amounts. Following the consummation of this offering GE will lose the ability to terminate the MSA solely based on a change of control of our company. We have agreed to indemnify GE for losses arising from material breaches of any SOW, non-compliance

114



with laws and certain other matters. Our liability is subject to limits in certain cases. We and GE have agreed to mutual non-solicitation of employees until June 2010. In a separate agreement, GE has agreed through December 31, 2009, subject to exceptions, to restrictions on its ability to set up a separate business unit to provide English-language business process services from low-wage countries to certain GE businesses or set up a business that provides outsourcing services from a low-wage country to provide services to third parties.

Our Master Services Agreement with Wachovia

        Our MSA with Wachovia is for a term ending November 30, 2012 and can be renewed by Wachovia for a single two-year term. The MSA covers all services to be provided under SOWs and specifies the pricing methodology for all SOWs. We may propose transactional or fixed pricing for new or amended SOWs, but only if such pricing is as favorable to Wachovia as the prices computed using the methodology in the MSA. Wachovia has agreed to share with us a portion of certain productivity benefits, after certain reimbursements for investments made to facilitate such benefits. Wachovia has not agreed to any volume commitment under the MSA. See "—Wachovia Securities Purchase Agreement and Ancillary Agreement."

        We are entitled to bid on any business process to be outsourced by Wachovia, but Wachovia is not required to use our services exclusively. We have agreed not to perform certain types of services for three of Wachovia's principal competitors. We are obligated to offer Wachovia the opportunity to be a pilot client for, and preferred access to, any advances we have developed in the provision of services substantially similar to the services provided to Wachovia. Wachovia has agreed to not solicit our employees for 12 months following the termination of the MSA.

        Under the MSA, we agree to actively involve Wachovia in the selection of employees who perform their services and employees cannot be assigned to certain key positions without Wachovia's consent. We have agreed to pay certain penalties if we do not achieve certain specified milestones while transitioning the work under SOWs or if we do not achieve certain performance levels. Wachovia has the right, upon the occurrence of certain force majeure type events and regulatory concerns, to take-over the processes we provide for them. Wachovia has the right to periodically benchmark our prices and we must decrease prices if they are found to exceed benchmarked prices beyond certain levels.

        Wachovia can terminate the MSA or any SOW (1) for cause at any time, (2) in the event of a change of control with six months' notice and (3) for convenience with at least 180 days' notice along with the payment of certain costs and charges. Wachovia may also terminate the MSA with lesser periods of notice upon the occurrence of certain adverse events or circumstances with respect to us. We have agreed to provide certain services, if so required by Wachovia, for up to a year following the termination of any SOW in order to assist with the transition of work back to Wachovia. Wachovia has agreed to pay certain costs and, in certain circumstances, termination charges, if SOWs are terminated following any extraordinary event that increases or decreases the estimated average monthly usage of resources above a certain limit. Upon termination of the MSA, Wachovia also has the right to purchase, or in certain circumstances lease, any Delivery Centers or equipment used by us to primarily deliver services to them. We have also agreed to indemnify Wachovia for losses arising from breaches of any our representations, warranties and covenants, non-compliance with laws and certain other factors. We are also liable for certain operational losses suffered by Wachovia as a direct result of a breach by us of our obligations. Our liability is subject to limits in certain cases.

Wachovia Securities Purchase Agreement and Ancillary Agreement

        Wachovia purchased common shares from GE under a securities purchase agreement dated November 30, 2005. We agreed to indemnify Wachovia for losses that arise from breaches of our

115



representations and warranties, provided such losses exceed $5 million. Our liability under that indemnity is capped at $20 million in the aggregate.

        Under the ancillary agreement between us and Wachovia dated November 30, 2005, Wachovia agreed to make a payment to us if the number of our FTEs performing services for Wachovia does not exceed certain specified levels by December 31, 2010 and any one of the following events has occurred: (1) an initial public offering or a change of control event has occurred prior to that date, in which case the payment is due on January 31, 2011; (ii) an initial public offering or a change of control event occurs prior to when the MSA is terminated, in which case the payment is to be made on the termination of the MSA; or (iii) the MSA is terminated prior to an initial public offering or change of control event, in which case the payment is due on the earlier of the initial public offering or the change of control event. The amount of the payment depends on the number of employees performing services for Wachovia at such time as well as the price of our common shares at the time of any initial public offering and the movement of an index comprised of the share prices of certain of our competitors. Wachovia has also agreed, for the period from December 31, 2010 through March 31, 2012, to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the number of our FTEs utilized by Wachovia at the December 31, 2010 level.

Tax Matters Agreement

        We are party to a tax matters agreement with two of our shareholders, GICo and GE, relating to the 2004 Reorganization. Under this agreement, GE indemnifies us and GICo for certain tax liabilities that arose either prior to the 2004 Reorganization or relating to the 2004 Reorganization. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Cash Flow from Financing Activities."

Such shares, however, are not deemed to be outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

        Percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 188,758,528 common shares of Genpact Limited outstanding on July 13, 2007, after giving effect to the 2007 Reorganization.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

General

        We are an exempted company organized under the Companies Act 1981 (Bermuda) (the "Companies Act"). We are registered with the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda under registration number 39838. Genpact Limited was incorporated on March 29, 2007 in connection with the 2007 Reorganization. See "Prospectus Summary—The Company—The 2007 Reorganization." Our registered office is located at Canon's Court, 22 Victoria Street, Hamilton HM EX, Bermuda. The rights of our shareholders, including those persons who will become shareholders in connection with this offering, are governed by Bermuda law and our memorandum of association and bye-laws. The Companies Act may differ in some material respects from laws generally applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. The following is a summary of the material provisions of Bermuda law and our organizational documents, including our memorandum of association and our bye-laws. For more detailed information, please see our memorandum of association and our bye-laws, copies of which, as amended and in effect as of the date of the consummation of this offering, will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Share Capital

        Our authorized capital consists of 500,000,000 common shares, $0.01 par value per share and 250,000,000 preference shares, $0.01 par value per share. Immediately following this offering, 206,405,587 common shares and no preference shares will be issued and outstanding. All of our issued and outstanding shares prior to completion of this offering are and will be fully paid up and all of our common shares to be issued in this offering will be issued fully paid up. Immediately prior to this offering, there was no public market for our common shares.

        Pursuant to our bye-laws, and subject to the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange on which our common shares are to be listed, our board of directors is authorized to issue any of our authorized but unissued shares. Upon the consummation of this offering, there will be no limitations on the right of non-Bermudians or non-residents of Bermuda to hold our common shares.

Common Shares

        Holders of our common shares are entitled, subject to the provisions of our bye-laws, to one vote per share on all matters submitted to or requiring a vote of holders of common shares. Unless a different majority is required by Bermuda law or by our bye-laws, resolutions to be approved by holders of common shares may be passed by a simple majority of votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present. A quorum consists of at least two shareholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote representing more than 50% of the total issued common shares.

        Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, the holders of our common shares are entitled to receive their ratable share of the net assets of our company available after payment of all debts and other liabilities.

        Our common shares have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights.

Preference Shares

        Pursuant to Bermuda law and our bye-laws, our board of directors by resolution may establish one or more series of preference shares having such par value, designations, dividend rates, relative voting rights, conversion or exchange rights, redemption rights, liquidation rights and other relative participation, optional or other rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions as may be fixed by the board of directors without any shareholder approval. Such rights, preferences, powers and limitations as may be established could also have the effect of discouraging an attempt to obtain control of our company. These preference shares are of the type commonly referred to as "blank-check" preferred stock.

119



Dividends

        Under Bermuda law, a company may declare and pay dividends from time to time unless there are reasonable grounds for believing that the company is or would, after the payment, be unable to pay its liabilities as they become due or that the realizable value of its assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities and issued share capital and share premium accounts. Under our bye-laws, each common share is entitled to dividends if, as and when dividends are declared by our board of directors. There are no restrictions in Bermuda on our ability to transfer funds (other than funds denominated in Bermuda dollars) in or out of Bermuda or to pay dividends to U.S. residents who are holders of our common shares.

        Any cash dividends payable to holders of our common shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange will be paid to Computershare Trust Company, N.A., our transfer agent in the United States, for disbursement to those holders.

        We have never declared or paid any dividends on our common shares, other than dividends paid to GE in the 2004 Reorganization.

Variation of Rights

        The rights attaching to a particular class, unless otherwise provided for by the terms of issue of the relevant class, may be varied either: (i) with the consent in writing of the holders of 75% of the issued shares of that class; or (ii) with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast at a general meeting of the relevant class of shareholders at which a quorum consisting of at least two persons holding or representing more than 50% of the issued shares of the relevant class is present. Our bye-laws specify that the creation or issue of shares ranking equally with existing shares will not, unless expressly provided by the terms of issue of existing shares, vary the rights attached to existing shares. In addition, the creation or issue of preference shares ranking prior to common shares will not be deemed to vary the rights attached to common shares or, subject to the terms of any other series of preference shares, to vary the rights attached to any other series of preference shares.

Repurchase of Shares

        At its discretion and without the sanction of a resolution, our board of directors may authorize the purchase by our company of our own shares, of any class, at any price. To the extent permitted by Bermuda law, the shares to be purchased may be selected in any manner whatsoever, upon such terms as our board of directors may determine in its discretion.

Transfer of Common Shares

        Our board of directors may refuse to recognize an instrument of transfer of a common share unless (1) the instrument of transfer is duly stamped, if required by law, and lodged with us, accompanied by the relevant share certificate and such other evidence of the transferor's right to make the transfer as our board of directors may reasonably require, (2) the transfer is in respect of only one class of share and (3) the permission of the Bermuda Monetary Authority has been obtained, if applicable. Subject to such restrictions, a holder of common shares may transfer the title to all or any of his common shares by completing the usual common form or any other form which our board of directors may approve. An instrument of transfer must be signed by the transferor and transferee, although in the case of a fully paid up common share, our board of directors may accept an instrument signed only by the transferor.

Certain Provisions of the Bye-laws and Bermuda Law

        Certain provisions of our memorandum of association, bye-laws and the Companies Act may have an anti-takeover effect, may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that you might consider in your best interest, including an attempt that might result in your receipt of a premium over the

120



market price for your common shares, and may make more difficult the removal of our incumbent directors.

        Our bye-laws provide that our board of directors shall consist of thirteen directors or such lesser or greater number as our board of directors, by resolution, may from time to time determine, provided that, at all times, there shall be no fewer than three directors. However, we may increase the maximum number of directors by resolution of the shareholders. Our board of directors currently consists of thirteen directors. Currently, each director serves in such capacity for such term as we may determine by resolution or, in the absence of such determination, until the termination of the next annual general meeting.

        Our bye-laws state that shareholders may only remove a director for cause. A director may only be removed at a special meeting convened for that purpose provided notice of any such meeting is served upon the director concerned not less than 14 days before the meeting. A director is entitled to attend the meeting and be heard on the motion for his or her removal.

        Our board of directors may fill any vacancy occurring as a result of the death, disability, disqualification or resignation of a director or as a result of an increase in the size of the board of directors and to appoint an alternate director to any director so appointed so long as a quorum of directors remains in office.

        A director may appoint and remove his own alternate director, who may be removed by resolution of the board. An alternate director may also be a director in his own rights and may act as an alternate to more than one director.

        Our bye-laws provide that our directors may be divided into three classes to create a staggered board at any time upon the passing of a board resolution.

        Under Bermuda law, a company is required to convene at least one general meeting of shareholders each calendar year. Our bye-laws provide that a special general meeting of shareholders may be called by the board of directors of a company and must be called upon the request of shareholders holding not less than 10% of the paid-up capital of the company carrying the right to vote at general meetings. Our bye-laws provide that a quorum for such a meeting shall be two shareholders holding not less than 50% of the paid-up capital of the company carrying the right to vote at general meetings. Bermuda law also requires that shareholders be given at least five days' advance notice of a general meeting, but the accidental omission to give notice to any person does not invalidate the proceedings at a meeting. Under our bye-laws, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days' notice of an annual general meeting and at least five days' notice of a special general meeting, must be given of a special general meeting. This notice requirement is subject to the ability to hold such meetings on shorter notice if such notice is agreed: (i) in the case of an annual general meeting, by all of the shareholders entitled to attend and vote at such meeting; or (ii) in the case of a special general meeting, by a majority in number of the shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the meeting holding not less than 95% in nominal value of the shares entitled to vote at such meeting. The quorum required for a general meeting of shareholders is at least one individual present in person or by proxy at the start of the meeting.

        Our bye-laws provide that, except in the case of the removal of auditors, anything which may be done by resolution of the shareholders in a general meeting or by resolution of any class of shareholders in a separate general meeting may be done by resolution in writing, signed by the shareholders (or the holders of such class of shares) who at the date of the notice of the resolution in writing represent such majority of votes as would be required if the resolution had been voted on at a meeting of the shareholders.

121


        However, our bye-laws also provide that in the event that GE and GICo and any affiliate of any one of them hold, in the aggregate, less than fifty percent (50%) of our outstanding common shares, then we will no longer use shareholder written resolutions.

        Our bye-laws contain advance notice procedures with regard to shareholder proposals related to the nomination of candidates for election as directors. These procedures provide that any shareholder entitled to vote for the election of directors may nominate persons for election as directors only if written notice of such shareholder's intent to make such nomination is given to our corporate secretary not later than (i) with respect to an election to be held at an annual general meeting, not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting or not later than ten days after notice or public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting is given or made available to shareholders, whichever date is earlier, and (ii) with respect to an election to be held at a special general meeting for the election of directors, the close of business on the tenth day following the date on which notice of such meeting is first given to shareholders.

        A shareholder's notice to our corporate secretary must be in proper written form and must set forth information related to the shareholder giving the notice and the owner on whose behalf the nomination is made, including:

        As to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election as a director:

        Our bye-laws contain advance notice procedures with regard to shareholder proposals not related to director nominations.

        A shareholder's notice to our corporate secretary must be in proper written form and must set forth, as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting:

122


        Members of the general public have the right to inspect the public documents of a company available at the office of the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda. These documents include a company's memorandum of association, including its objects and powers, and any alterations to its memorandum of association. Our shareholders have the additional right to inspect the bye-laws of the company, minutes of general meetings and the company's audited financial statements, which must be presented at the annual general meeting. The register of shareholders of a company also is open to inspection by shareholders without charge and by members of the general public on the payment of a fee. We are required to maintain our share register in Bermuda but may, subject to the provisions of Bermuda law, establish a branch register outside Bermuda. We maintain our principal share register in Hamilton, Bermuda. We are required to keep at our registered office a register of directors and officers that is open for inspection for not less than two hours each day by members of the public without charge. Bermuda law does not, however, provide a general right for shareholders to inspect or obtain copies of any other corporate records.

        Bermuda law provides that the memorandum of association of a company may be amended by a resolution passed at a general meeting of shareholders. Our bye-laws provide that no bye-law shall be rescinded, altered or amended, and no new bye-law shall be made, unless it shall have been approved by a resolution of our board of directors and by a resolution of our shareholders. However, to revoke, alter, or amend certain of our bye-laws it requires the approval of at least two-thirds of the combined voting power of all shareholders entitled to vote thereon.

        Under Bermuda law, the holders of an aggregate of not less than in aggregate 20% in par value of the company's issued share capital or any class thereof have the right to apply to the Bermuda courts for an annulment of any amendment of the memorandum of association adopted by shareholders at any general meeting, other than an amendment which alters or reduces a company's share capital as provided in the Companies Act. Where such an application is made, the amendment becomes effective only to the extent that it is confirmed by the Bermuda court. An application for an annulment of an amendment of the memorandum of association must be made within twenty-one days after the date on which the resolution altering the company's memorandum of association is passed and may be made on behalf of persons entitled to make the application by one or more of their number as they may appoint in writing for the purpose. No application may be made by shareholders voting in favor of the amendment.

        Under Bermuda law, the directors of a Bermuda company owe their fiduciary duty principally to the company, rather than the shareholders. Our bye-laws provide that some actions are required to be approved by our board of directors. Actions must be approved by a majority of the votes present and entitled to be cast at a properly convened meeting of our board of directors.

123


        In addition, pursuant to our bye-laws and our shareholders agreement and to the extent permitted by applicable law, our directors who are affiliated with our major shareholders are not required to present to us corporate opportunities (e.g., acquisitions or new potential clients) that they become aware of unless such opportunities are presented to them expressly in their capacity as one of our directors.

        Our bye-laws contain a provision by virtue of which our shareholders waive any claim or right of action that they have, both individually and on our behalf, against any director or officer in relation to any action or failure to take action by such director or officer, except in respect of any fraud or dishonesty of such director or officer. Our bye-laws also indemnify our directors and officers in respect of their actions and omissions, except in respect of their fraud or dishonesty. The indemnification provided in our bye-laws is not exclusive of other indemnification rights to which a director or officer may be entitled, provided these rights do not extend to his or her fraud or dishonesty.

        Our bye-laws provide that our business is to be managed and conducted by our board of directors. Bermuda law requires that our directors be individuals, but there is no requirement in our bye-laws or Bermuda law that directors hold any of our shares. There is also no requirement in our bye-laws or Bermuda law that our directors must retire at a certain age.

        Provided a director discloses a direct or indirect interest in any contract or arrangement with us as required by Bermuda law, such director is entitled to be counted in the quorum and vote in respect of any such contract or arrangement in which he or she is interested unless he or she is disqualified from voting by the decision of a vote of the other directors present at the board meeting and their ruling in relation to the director concerned shall be final and conclusive except in very limited circumstances.

        Under Bermuda law, a director (including the spouse or children of the director or any company of which such director, spouse or children own or control more than 20% of the capital or loan debt) cannot borrow from us, (except loans made to directors who are bona fide employees or former employees pursuant to an employees' share scheme) unless shareholders holding 90% of the total voting rights have consented to the loan.

        A Bermuda exempted company may acquire the business of another Bermuda exempted company or a company incorporated outside Bermuda when the business of the target company is within the acquiring company's objects as set forth in its memorandum of association.

        Any amalgamation of our company with another company or corporation (other than certain affiliate companies) first requires the approval of our board of directors and then the approval of our shareholders, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the combined voting power of all of the outstanding common shares, voting together as a single class, subject to any voting rights granted to holders of any preference shares.

        Our bye-laws provide a mechanism designed to deal with business combinations including any amalgamation, merger or consolidation of the Company or any subsidiary with any interested shareholder or any other company which is or after such merger, consolidation or amalgamation would be an affiliate or associate of an interested shareholder. This provision does not apply to any shareholder who held 15% or more of the common shares as of July 23, 2007.

        Our bye-laws provide that we will not engage in any business combination with any interested shareholder or any affiliate or associate of any interested shareholder or any person who thereafter would

124



be an affiliate or associate of such interested shareholder for a period of three years following the time that such shareholder became an interested shareholder. The following broad exceptions are set out:

        Notwithstanding any other provisions of the bye-laws (and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage or separate class vote may be specified by law or the bye-laws), any proposal to amend, repeal or adopt any provision of the bye-laws inconsistent with the bye-law dealing with business combinations, in addition to any other vote required by law, shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting shares entitled to be cast by the holders of all the then outstanding voting shares, voting together as a single class.

        Bermuda law provides that where an offer is made for shares of a company and, within four months of the offer, the holders of not less than 90% of the shares which are the subject of the offer accept, the offeror may by notice require the non-tendering shareholders to transfer their shares on the terms of the offer. Dissenting shareholders may apply to the court within one month of the notice objecting to the transfer. The test is one of fairness to the body of the shareholders and not to individuals, and the burden is on the dissentient shareholder to prove unfairness, not merely that the scheme is open to criticism.

        Under Bermuda law, in the event of an amalgamation of a Bermuda company with another company, a shareholder of the Bermuda company who is not satisfied that fair value has been offered for his or her shares in the Bermuda company may apply to the Bermuda Court to appraise the fair value of his or her shares. Under Bermuda law and our bye-laws, an amalgamation by us with another company would require the amalgamation agreement to be approved by our board of directors and by resolution of our shareholders.

        Class actions and derivative actions are generally not available to shareholders under Bermuda law. However, the Bermuda courts would ordinarily be expected to follow English case law precedent, which would permit a shareholder to commence an action in the name of a company to remedy a wrong done to the company where the act complained of is alleged to be beyond the corporate power of the company or is illegal or would result in violation of the company's memorandum of association or bye-laws. Furthermore, consideration would be given by the Bermuda courts to acts that are alleged to constitute a fraud against the minority shareholders or, for instance, where an act requires the approval of a greater percentage of the company's shareholders than that which actually approved it.

125


        When the affairs of a company are being conducted in a manner oppressive or prejudicial to the interests of some part of the shareholders, one or more shareholders may apply to the Bermuda courts, which may make an order as it sees fit, including an order regulating the conduct of the company's affairs in the future or ordering the purchase of the shares of any shareholder by other shareholders or by the company.

        Under Bermuda law, an exempted company may be discontinued in Bermuda and continued in a jurisdiction outside Bermuda as if it had been incorporated under the laws of that other jurisdiction. Our bye-laws provide that our board of directors may exercise all our power to discontinue to another jurisdiction without the need of any shareholder approval.

        Our bye-laws provide that each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of us or, while a director or officer of us, is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is the alleged action of such person in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, will be indemnified and held harmless by us to the fullest extent authorized by the Companies Act against all damage or expense, liability and loss reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith provided that any such person shall not be indemnified and held harmless if there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for which the person is seeking indemnification, that person engaged in fraud or acted dishonestly or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the such conduct was unlawful. Any indemnification is made out of our assets and to the extent that a person is entitled to claim indemnification in respect of amounts paid or discharged by him or her, the relevant indemnity shall take effect as our obligation to reimburse that person making such payment or effecting such discharge. Our bye-laws also provide that we will be indemnified against all liabilities incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition, subject to the provisions of the Companies Act. These rights are not exclusive of any other right that any person may have or acquire under any statute, provision of our memorandum of association, bye-laws, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. No repeal or modification of these provisions will in any way diminish or adversely affect the rights of any director, officer, employee or agent of us under our memorandum of association in respect of any occurrence or matter arising prior to any such repeal or modification.

        Our bye-laws provide that our shareholders and us waive any claim or right of action against our directors and officers in relation to any action taken by them or any failure by them to take any action in the performance of their duties for us, provided that such waiver shall not apply to any claims or rights of action arising out of the fraud of any such director or officer or to matters that would render the waiver void pursuant to the Companies Act. Notwithstanding anything contained in our bye-laws, any such director of officer shall not be liable to us or our shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the Companies Act.

        Neither the amendment nor repeal of this provision will eliminate or reduce the effect of the provision in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for the provision, would accrue or arise, prior to the amendment or repeal.

126



        In addition, prior to this offering, we will enter into an indemnity agreement with each of our directors. Pursuant to those indemnity agreements, we will agree to indemnify each of our directors for losses or expenses they may incur in their role as director.

        We have been designated as a non-resident of Bermuda by the Bermuda Monetary Authority for the purposes of the Exchange Control Act, 1972. This designation allows us to engage in transactions in currencies other than the Bermuda dollar, and there are no restrictions on our ability to transfer funds, other than funds denominated in Bermuda dollars, in and out of Bermuda or to pay dividends to United States residents who are holders of our common shares.

        The Bermuda Monetary Authority has given its consent for the issue and free transferability of all of the common shares that are the subject of this offering to and between non-residents of Bermuda for exchange control purposes, provided that our common shares remain listed on an appointed stock exchange, which includes the New York Stock Exchange. Approvals or permissions given by the Bermuda Monetary Authority do not constitute a guarantee by the Bermuda Monetary Authority as to our performance or our creditworthiness. Accordingly, in giving such consent or permissions, the Bermuda Monetary Authority shall not be liable for the financial soundness, performance or default of our business or for the correctness of any opinions or statements expressed in this prospectus. Certain issues and transfers of common shares involving persons deemed resident in Bermuda for exchange control purposes require the specific consent of the Bermuda Monetary Authority.

        In accordance with Bermuda law, share certificates are only issued in the names of companies, partnerships or individuals. In the case of a shareholder acting in a special capacity (for example as a trustee), certificates may, at the request of the shareholder, record the capacity in which the shareholder is acting. Notwithstanding such recording of any special capacity, we are not bound to investigate or see to the execution of any such trust. We will take no notice of any trust applicable to any of our common shares, whether or not we have been notified of such trust.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

        A register of holders of the common shares will be maintained by Appleby Corporate Services (Bermuda) Ltd, and a branch register will be maintained in the United States by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., who will serve as branch registrar and transfer agent.

New York Stock Exchange Listing

        We have applied to have our common shares quoted on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "G."

127



COMMON SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

        Before this offering, there has been no public market for our common shares. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of common shares or the availability of common shares will have on the market price of our common shares. Sales of substantial amounts of common shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could cause the prevailing market price to decrease or to be lower than it might be in the absence of those sales or perceptions.

        Upon the closing of this offering, we will have outstanding approximately 206,405,587 common shares, assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option. All of the common shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), except for any common shares that may be acquired by an affiliate of us, as the term "affiliate" is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Persons who may be deemed to be affiliates generally include individuals or entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with, us and may include our directors and officers as well as our significant shareholders. All remaining common shares will be "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144, and may not be sold other than through registration under the Securities Act or under an exemption from registration, such as the one provided by Rule 144. In addition, certain of our shareholders will have the right to require us to file registration statements covering their shares and we intend to file one or more registration statements on Form S-8 registering a total of 34,000,000 common shares available for issuance under our equity incentive plans (including for options outstanding) as well as common shares held for resale by our existing shareholders that were previously issued under our equity incentive plans. See "Risk Factors—Sales of common shares eligible for future sale may cause the market price of our common shares to decline significantly, even if our business is doing well."

Rule 144

        Generally, Rule 144 provides that a person who has beneficially owned "restricted" shares for at least one year will be entitled to sell on the open market in brokers' transactions, within any three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

        Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and the availability of current public information about our company.

        In the event that any person who is deemed to be our affiliate purchases common shares in this offering or acquires common shares pursuant to one of our employee benefit plans, sales under Rule 144 of the common shares held by that person are subject to the volume limitations and other restrictions (other than the one-year holding period requirement) described in the preceding two paragraphs.

        Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates for purposes of the Securities Act at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale and who has beneficially owned the common shares proposed to be sold for at least two years, including the holding period of any prior owner other than our affiliates, is entitled to sell such common shares without complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144. Therefore, unless otherwise restricted, "144(k) shares" may be sold immediately upon the closing of this offering.

128



Rule 701

        Under Rule 701, common shares acquired upon the exercise of certain currently outstanding options or pursuant to other rights granted under our share plans may be resold, to the extent not subject to lock-up agreements, (1) by persons other than affiliates, beginning 90 days after the effective date of this offering, subject only to the manner of sale provisions of Rule 144, and (2) by affiliates, subject to the manner of sale, current public information and filing requirements of Rule 144, in each case, without compliance with the one-year holding period requirement of Rule 144.

Form S-8 Registration Statements

        We intend to file one or more registration statements on Form S-8 under the Securities Act following this offering to register our common shares that are issuable pursuant to our share option plans. These registration statements are expected to become effective upon filing. Common shares covered by these registration statements will then be eligible for sale in the public markets, subject to any applicable lock-up agreements and to Rule 144 limitations applicable to affiliates.

Lock-Up Agreements

        We have agreed not to issue, sell or otherwise dispose of any common shares during a 180-day period following the date of this prospectus. We may, however, grant options to purchase common shares and issue common shares upon the exercise of outstanding or subsequently granted options under our existing equity incentive plans, and we may issue or sell common shares in connection with an acquisition or business combination as long as the acquiror of such common shares agrees in writing to be bound by the obligations and restrictions of our lock-up agreement.

        Our executive officers and directors and certain of our other shareholders have agreed that, for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus, they will not, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. on behalf of the underwriters, dispose of or hedge any common shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common shares, subject to certain exceptions. Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. on behalf of the underwriters, in their sole discretion, may release any of the securities subject to these lock-up agreements at any time without notice.

        Immediately following the consummation of this offering, the shareholders subject to such lock-up agreements will hold 169,072,652 common shares, representing approximately 81.9% of our then outstanding common shares, or approximately 79.9% if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional common shares in full.

129



CERTAIN MATERIAL BERMUDA AND UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES

        The following summary of our taxation and the taxation of our shareholders is based upon current law and does not purport to be a comprehensive discussion of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase shares. Legislative, judicial or administrative changes may be forthcoming that could affect this summary.

        The following legal discussion (including and subject to the matters and qualifications set forth in such summary) of the material tax considerations under (1) "Certain Bermuda Tax Considerations" is based upon the advice of Appleby, our Bermuda legal counsel and (2) "U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" is based upon the advice of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, our U.S. counsel. Each of these firms has reviewed the relevant portion of this discussion (as set forth above) and believes that such portion of the discussion constitutes, in all material respects, an accurate summary of the relevant income tax considerations relating to the company and the ownership of common shares by investors that are U.S. holders (as defined below). The advice of such firms does not include any factual or accounting matters, determinations or conclusions or facts relating to the business, income, reserves or activities of the company. The advice of these firms relies upon and is premised on the accuracy of factual statements and representations made by the company concerning the business and properties, ownership, organization, source of income and manner of operation of the company.

        The discussion is based on current law. Legislative, judicial or administrative changes or interpretations may be forthcoming that could be retroactive and could materially adversely affect the tax consequences to us and to holders of common shares.

        The tax treatment of a holder of common shares, or of a person treated as a holder of common shares for U.S. federal income, state, local or non-U.S. tax purposes, may vary depending on the holder's particular tax situation. Statements contained in this prospectus as to the beliefs, expectations and conditions of the company as to the application of such tax laws or facts represent the view of management as to the application of such laws and do not represent the advice of counsel.

Certain Bermuda Tax Considerations

        Bermuda does not currently impose any income, corporation or profits tax, withholding tax, capital gains tax, capital transfer tax, estate duty or inheritance tax on us or our shareholders, other than shareholders ordinarily resident in Bermuda, if any. There is currently no Bermuda withholding or other tax on principal, interest or dividends paid to holders of the common shares, other than holders ordinarily resident in Bermuda, if any. We cannot assure you that we or our shareholders will not be subject to any such tax in the future. We are not subject to stamp duty on the issue or transfer of our common shares.

        The company has received a written assurance dated March 2007 from the Bermuda Minister of Finance under the Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act 1966 of Bermuda, as amended, that if any legislation is enacted in Bermuda imposing tax computed on profits or income, or computed on any capital asset, gain or appreciation, or any tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax, then the imposition of that tax would not be applicable to us or to any of our operations, or to our shares, debentures or obligations until March 28, 2016; provided that the assurance is subject to the condition that it will not be construed to prevent the application of such tax to people ordinarily resident in Bermuda and holding such common shares, debentures or other obligations, or to prevent the application of any taxes payable by us in respect of real property or leasehold interests in Bermuda held by us. We cannot assure you that we will not be subject to any such tax after March 28, 2016.

        As an exempted company, we are liable to pay in Bermuda an annual fee based upon our authorized share capital and our share premium account at a current rate of BD$1,870 per annum.

130



U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

        This is a general summary of material U.S. Federal income tax considerations with respect to your acquisition, ownership and disposition of common shares.

        For purposes of this discussion, you are a U.S. holder if you beneficially own our common shares and are:

        This summary is based upon the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, relevant regulations, rulings and judicial decisions as of the date of this document, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. We cannot assure you that a later change in law will not significantly alter the tax considerations that we describe in this summary. We have not requested a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service with respect to any of the tax consequences described below. As a result, there can be no assurance that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service will not disagree with or challenge any of the conclusions described below.

        This summary is for general purposes only. It applies to you only if you are a U.S. holder and you hold your common shares as a capital asset (that is, for investment purposes). It does not address any U.S. Federal tax laws other than U.S. Federal income tax laws and it does not address any state, local or foreign tax laws. In addition, this summary does not represent a detailed description of the U.S. Federal income tax consequences to you in light of your particular circumstances. This summary does not address the U.S. Federal income tax consequences applicable to you if you are subject to special treatment under the U.S. Federal income tax laws, including if you are:


        If a partnership or other entity treated as a pass-through entity for U.S. Federal income tax purposes holds common shares, the tax treatment of an interest holder in the entity will generally depend upon the

131


status of the interest holder and the activities of the entity. If a U.S. holder is an interest holder in such an entity holding common shares, such holder is urged to consult its tax advisors.

        WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE OVERALL TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING IN YOUR OWN PARTICULAR SITUATION UNDER U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN LAW OF ACQUIRING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF COMMON SHARES.

        We do not currently expect to make distributions on our common shares. If we do make distributions on our common shares, those distributions (other than certain pro rata distributions of common shares) will be treated as a dividend to the extent paid out of current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. Federal income tax principles). Should any distribution exceed our current or accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be treated as a nontaxable return of capital reducing your adjusted tax basis in the common shares to the extent of your adjusted tax basis in those shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as capital gain. If you are an individual, trust or estate, dividends paid on our common shares will generally be treated as "qualified dividend income" that is taxable to you at a preferential maximum rate of 15% (through 2010) provided that (1) we are not a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the immediately preceding taxable year (see discussion below); (2) you have owned the common shares for more than 60 days in the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the date on which the common shares become ex-dividend; (3) you are not under an obligation to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property; and (4) certain other requirements are met. You should consult your own tax advisor regarding your eligibility for this reduced rate of taxation on dividends in light of your particular circumstances. The amount of the dividend will be treated as foreign-source dividend income to you and will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction generally allowed to U.S. corporations under the Code.

        The amount of a dividend will include any amounts withheld by us or our paying agent in respect of any Bermudian taxes. Subject to applicable limitations that may vary depending upon your circumstances, any Bermudian taxes withheld from dividends on common shares will be creditable against your U.S. Federal income tax liability. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. A portion of any dividend we pay might be treated as U.S.-source income for this purpose. The rules governing foreign tax credits are complex and, therefore, you should consult your own tax advisor regarding the availability of foreign tax credits in your particular circumstances. Instead of claiming a credit, you may, at your election, deduct any otherwise creditable Bermudian taxes in computing your taxable income, subject to generally applicable limitations under U.S. law.

        For U.S. Federal income tax purposes, gain or loss you realize on the sale or other disposition of common shares will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if you held the common shares for more than one year, except as provided below with respect to passive foreign investment companies. The amount of your gain or loss will be equal to the difference between your tax basis in the common shares disposed of and the amount realized on the disposition. Such gain or loss will generally be U.S.-source gain or loss for foreign tax credit purposes.

        We believe that we will not be considered a PFIC for U.S. Federal income tax purposes for our current year or in future years. However, since PFIC status depends upon the composition of a company's

132


income and assets and the market value of its assets from time to time, there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for any taxable year. If we are treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which you held common shares, certain adverse consequences could apply.

        If we were treated as a PFIC for any taxable year, gain you recognized on a sale or other disposition of common shares would be allocated ratably over your holding period for the common shares. The amounts allocated to the taxable year of the sale or other exchange and to any year before we became a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, and an interest charge would be imposed on the tax imposed with respect to the amount allocated to such taxable year. Similar rules apply to certain distributions on common shares. An election to mark-to-market our common shares would be available to you to mitigate the adverse consequences resulting from PFIC status, provided that our common shares are traded as "marketable stock." An election to treat us as a qualifying fund, however, would not be available to you because we would not provide the information you need to make the election.

        In addition, if we were to be treated as a PFIC in a taxable year in which we pay a dividend or the prior taxable year, the 15% dividend rate discussed above with respect to dividends paid to non-corporate holders would not apply.

        We do not expect to be considered a controlled foreign corporation, or a CFC. A corporation is CFC if more than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of its shares or more than 50% of the total value of its shares is owned, directly or indirectly by attribution, by 10% shareholders. You are a 10% shareholder if you own at least 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares, directly or indirectly by attribution. If we were a CFC and you were a 10% shareholder, then you would be required to include in your gross income for a taxable year your pro rata share of our earnings and profits for that year attributable to specified types of income or investments, even if you do not receive any distributions during that year.

        Payment of dividends and sales proceeds that are made within the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries generally are subject to information reporting and to backup withholding (currently at a 28% rate) unless (i) you are a corporation or other exempt recipient or (ii) in the case of backup withholding, you provide a correct taxpayer identification number and certify that you are not subject to backup withholding.

        The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to you will be allowed as a credit against your U.S. Federal income tax liability and may entitle you to a refund, provided that you promptly furnish the required information to the Internal Revenue Service.

        Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in an underwriting agreement dated the date of this prospectus, the underwriters named below, for whom Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. are acting as representatives and joint book-running managers, have severally agreed to purchase, and we and the selling shareholders have agreed to sell to them, severally, the number of common shares indicated below:

Shares

Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated    
Citigroup Global Markets Inc.    
J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.    
Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC    
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated    
Banc of America Securities LLC    
Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC

  Total    
   

        The underwriters are offering the shares subject to their acceptance of the shares from us and the selling shareholders and subject to prior sale. The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the several underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the shares offered by this prospectus are subject to the approval of certain legal matters by their counsel and to certain other conditions. The underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all of the shares offered by this prospectus if any such shares are taken. However, the underwriters are not required to take or pay for the shares covered by the underwriters' over-allotment option described below.

        The underwriters initially propose to offer part of the shares directly to the public at the public offering price listed on the cover page of this prospectus and part to certain dealers at a price that represents a concession not in excess of $                  a share under the public offering price. No dealer may reallow a concession to other dealers. After the initial offering of the common shares, the offering price and other selling terms may from time to time be varied by the representatives.

        We have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days from the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to an aggregate of 5,294,118 additional shares at the public offering price listed on the cover page of this prospectus, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters may exercise this option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, made in connection with the offering of the shares offered by this prospectus. To the extent the option is exercised, each underwriter will become obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase about the same percentage of the additional shares as the number listed next to the underwriter's name in the preceding table bears to the total number of shares listed next to the names of all underwriters in the preceding table. If the underwriters' option is exercised in full, the total price to the public would be $                  , the total underwriters' discounts and commissions would be $                  , total proceeds to us would be $                  and total proceeds to the selling shareholders would be $                  .

        The underwriters have informed us that they do not intend sales to discretionary accounts to exceed five percent of the total number of common shares offered by them.

        Application has been made to have the common shares approved for quotation on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "G."

134



        Each of us, the selling shareholders, our directors and our executive officers has agreed that, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. on behalf of the underwriters, it will not, during the period ending 180 days after the date of this prospectus:

whether any such transaction described above is to be settled by delivery of common shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The restrictions described in this paragraph do not apply to:

        The 180-day restricted period described above is subject to extension such that, in the event that either (a) during the last 17 days of the 180-day restricted period, we issue an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to us occurs or (b) prior to the expiration of the 180-day restricted period, we announce that we will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the 180-day period, the "lock-up" restrictions described above will continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event.

135



        In order to facilitate the offering of the common shares, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our common shares. Specifically, the underwriters may sell more common shares than they are obligated to purchase under the underwriting agreement, creating a short position in our common shares for their own account. A short sale is covered if the short position is no greater than the number of common shares available for purchase by the underwriters under the over allotment option. The underwriters can close out a covered short sale by exercising the over allotment option or purchasing common shares in the open market. In determining the source of common shares to close out a covered short sale, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the open market price of common shares compared to the price available under the over allotment option. The underwriters may also sell common shares in excess of the over allotment option, creating a naked short position. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing common shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the common shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. As an additional means of facilitating the offering, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, common shares in the open market to stabilize the price of our common shares. The underwriting syndicate may also reclaim selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing our common shares in the offering, if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed common shares to cover syndicate short positions or to stabilize the price of our common shares. These activities may raise or maintain the market price of the common shares above independent market levels or prevent or retard a decline in the market price of the common shares. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time.

        From time to time, the underwriters have provided, and continue to provide, investment banking and other corporate banking services to us. Citibank, N.A., Wachovia Bank, National Association and Bank of America N.A. are lenders under our credit facility which is being repaid in part with the proceeds of this offering.

        We estimate that the total expenses of the offering, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $9 million. The selling shareholders are paying the underwriting discounts and commissions relating to the common shares they are selling and we are bearing the other expenses.

        We, the selling shareholders and the underwriters have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

EXPERTS

        The consolidated/combined financial statements of Genpact Global Holdings SICAR S.à.r.l. as of December 31, 2005 and 2006, and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006, have been included herein and in the registration statement in reliance upon the report of KPMG, independent registered public accounting firm, appearing elsewhere herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

        The audit report covering the December 31, 2005 and 2006, consolidated financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph that states that prior to December 30, 2004, the business of Genpact Global Holdings SICAR S.à.r.l. was conducted through various entities and divisions that were wholly-owned by General Electric Company. On December 30, 2004, in the 2004 Reorganization, General Electric Company transferred such operations to Genpact Global Holdings SICAR S.à.r.l. and sold a 60% interest in Genpact Global Holdings SICAR S.à.r.l. through a series of integrated transactions.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Genpact Global Holdings SICAR S.à.r.l.

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Genpact Global Holdings SICAR S.à.r.l. (the "Company") and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 and the combined statements of income, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows of the Company's predecessor for the year ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the Company's consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the two year period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Further, in our opinion, the Company's predecessor combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations of the Company's predecessor and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

        As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, prior to December 30, 2004, the business of the Company was conducted through various entities and divisions that were wholly owned by General Electric Company (GE). On December 30, 2004, in the 2004 Reorganization, GE transferred such operations to the Company and sold a controlling interest in the Company. As these transactions resulted in a change of control of the business, the acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations. Consequently, the Company's financial statements for the periods after the acquisition are presented on a new basis of accounting and are not directly comparable to the financial statements for the period prior to the acquisition.

GENPACT GLOBAL HOLDINGS SICAR S.À.R.L.

Notes to the Consolidated / Combined Financial Statements

(In thousands of U.S. Dollars, except share and per share data)

1.    Organization and description of business

        Genpact Global Holdings SICAR S.à.r.l., a Luxembourg entity ("GGH" and together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") is in the business of managing business processes for companies around the world. The Company combines its process expertise, information technology expertise and analytical capabilities, together with operational insight derived from its experience in diverse industries, to provide a wide range of services using its global delivery platform. The Company's service offerings include finance and accounting, collections and customer service, insurance services, supply chain and procurement, analytics, enterprise application services and IT infrastructure services.

        On March 29, 2007, Genpact Limited was incorporated in Bermuda as a subsidiary of GGH. On July 13, 2007, the Company effectuated a transaction that resulted in Genpact Limited owning 100% of the capital stock of GGH. This transaction is referred to as the "2007 Reorganization." This transaction occurred through the shareholders of GGH exchanging their preferred and common shares in GGH for common shares in Genpact Limited. As a result, the only outstanding shares of Genpact Limited upon closing of the IPO will be common shares. In addition, as part of the 2007 Reorganization, Genpact Global (Lux) S.à.r.l., or GGL, one of the principal shareholders of the Company, which has no operations and whose only asset is approximately 63% of the outstanding equity of GGH, also became a subsidiary of Genpact Limited, which issued its common shares in exchange for the transfer. The share and per share amounts in the consolidated financial statements do not give effect to the exchange of preferred and common shares of GGH for common shares of Genpact Limited pursuant to the 2007 Reorganization, except for the pro forma shareholders equity in the consolidated balance sheet and the pro forma earnings per share in note 20.

Successor and Predecessor entities and periods presented

        Prior to December 30, 2004, the business of the Company was conducted through various entities and divisions of the General Electric Company ("GE"). On December 30, 2004, in a series of transactions collectively referred to herein as the "2004 Reorganization", GE transferred such operations to a newly formed entity, GGH. GGH has no operations and de minimis assets from the date of its formation through December 30, 2004. In connection with such transfers, the Company incurred debt of $180,000, $156,859 of which was used to finance in part the consideration for the transfer. GE sold a controlling interest in GGL.

        For the year ended December 31, 2004, the financial statements are presented on a combined basis as all the entities and divisions that were transferred to GGH in the 2004 Reorganization were under the common control of GE (predecessor basis).

        As the 2004 Reorganization resulted in a transfer of control of the Company, the 2004 Reorganization was accounted for under the purchase method pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations.

        The application of the purchase method of accounting, which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recorded at their fair values, creates a new basis of accounting and accordingly results in depreciation and amortization expense of acquired intangible assets in the periods subsequent to December 31, 2004. Accordingly, the financial statements of the predecessor for 2004 are not directly comparable to the Company's financial statements for 2005 and 2006.

        Prior to December 31, 2004, substantially all of the revenues of the Company were derived from services provided to GE entities. In connection with the 2004 Reorganization, GE and Genworth (which was then owned by GE) entered into a Master Services Arrangement ("MSA") with the Company. The GE MSA, which, as amended in 2005, provides that GE will purchase services in an amount not less than a

F-11



minimum volume commitment ("MVC") of $360,000 each year for six years beginning January 1, 2005, $270,000 in 2011, $180,000 in 2012 and $90,000 in 2013. Revenues in excess of the MVC can be credited, subject to certain limitations, against short falls in the subsequent years.

        Similarly, the Genworth MSA provides that Genworth will purchase services in an amount not less than a MVC of $24,000 per year for five years beginning January 1, 2005, $18,000 in 2010, $12,000 in 2011 and $6,000 in 2012.

        The purchase consideration for the 2004 Reorganization has been allocated to the acquired assets and accrued liabilities as follows:

Fair value of common and preferred stock issued   $ 623,000  
Cash paid     156,859  
   
 
    $ 779,859  
   
 

Allocation to assets and liabilities:

 

 

 

 
Cash and cash equivalents   $ 30,855  
Property, plant and equipment     104,406  
Current assets and liabilities, net     (33,246 )
Non-current assets     17,817  
Non-current liabilities     (48,707 )
Intangible assets     223,500  
Goodwill     485,234  
   
 
    $ 779,859  
   
 

        In connection with the 2004 Reorganization, GE indemnified the Company for potential income tax and other tax related liabilities relating to periods prior to the 2004 Reorganization. Subsequent to the 2004 Reorganization, any income tax adjustments for periods prior to the 2004 Reorganization and related recoveries would be recordable as adjustments to the recorded goodwill. However, because GE has indemnified the Company for these amounts, the net adjustment to goodwill for 2005, 2006 and the three months ending 2007 is $0. Adjustments for taxes other than income taxes are recorded through the income statement, as are any related recoveries from GE pursuant to its indemnities. The Company has elected to adjust any such recoveries for taxes other than income taxes against the related expense. Amounts due from GE for taxes other than income taxes, under such indemnification were $1,532, $545, $197 and $59, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 and the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

        Additionally, as a part of the 2004 Reorganization, GE agreed to refund certain post-acquisition expenses relating to an employee incentive program for specific employees. During 2005, 2006 and the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, the Company received $3,839, $6,161, $0 and $0, respectively, under the arrangement. The Company has recorded these post-acquisition expenses through the income statement for 2005 and 2006 and the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, and the amounts recovered from GE under the purchase agreement are recorded as an adjustment to recorded goodwill.

2.    Summary of significant accounting policies

a)    Basis of preparation and principles of consolidation

        The accompanying consolidated/combined financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

        The accompanying 2005 and 2006 financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis and reflect the financial statements of GGH and all of its subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned and controlled. All material inter-company accounts and transactions within the Company are eliminated in these consolidated financial statements.

        As more fully discussed in note 1, the financial statements for the period prior to the 2004 Reorganization reflect the combined financial statements of the predecessor.

        Unaudited interim Financial Statements.    The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Rule 10.01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial reporting and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements of GGH for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. All information included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 and for the three months ended March 31, 2007 is unaudited.

        The unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (of a normal and recurring nature) which management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for these periods. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

        During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company acquired E-Transparent B.V. and certain related entities, which are controlling partners in a partnership known as ICE. Accordingly, from the date of acquisition, the financial statements of ICE have been reflected in the Company's financial statements.

b)    Use of estimates

        The preparation of consolidated / combined financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, intangibles and goodwill; valuation allowance for receivables and deferred tax assets; valuation of derivative instruments; valuation of share-based compensation and assets and obligations related to employee benefits. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Although these estimates are based upon management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates.

c)    Revenue recognition

        The Company derives its revenue primarily from business process services, which are provided on both time-and-materials and fixed-price basis. The Company recognizes revenue from services under time-and-materials contracts when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; the sales price is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. Such revenues are recognized as the services are provided. The Company's fixed-price contracts include contracts for application maintenance and support services. Revenues on these contracts are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. The Company accrues for revenue and receivables for the services rendered between the last billing date and the balance sheet date.

F-13


        Revenue with respect to fixed-price contracts for development of software is recognized on a percentage of completion method. Guidance has been drawn from paragraph 95 of Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, to account for revenue from fixed price arrangements for software development and related services in conformity with SOP 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts. The input (effort expended) method has been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the current contract estimates.

        The Company has deferred the revenue and the costs attributable to certain process transition activities where such activities do not represent the culmination of a separate earnings process. Such revenue and costs are subsequently recognized ratably over the period in which the related services are performed. Further, the deferred costs are limited to the amount of the deferred revenues.

        Revenues are reported net of value-added tax, business tax and applicable discounts and allowances.

        Reimbursements of out of pocket expenses received from customers have been included as part of revenues in accordance with EITF 01-14, Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for "Out-of-Pocket" Expenses Incurred.

d)    Cash and cash equivalents

        Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash balances and all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.

e)    Property, plant and equipment, net

        Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for replacements and improvements are capitalized whereas the cost of maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred. The Company depreciates and amortizes all property, plant and equipment using the straight-line method over the following estimated economic useful lives of the assets:

 
  Years
Buildings   40
Furniture and fixtures   4
Computer equipment and servers   3-4
Plant, machinery and equipment   4
Computer software   4
Leasehold improvements   Lesser of lease period or 6 years
Vehicles   3-4

        The cost of software purchased for internal use is accounted for under American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use.

F-14



        Advances paid towards acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding as of each balance sheet date and the cost of property, plant and equipment not put to use before such date are disclosed under "Capital work in progress" in note 9.

f)    Business combinations, goodwill and other intangible assets

        Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations. SFAS No. 141 specifies criteria as to intangible assets acquired in a business combination that must be recognized and reported separately from goodwill. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, all assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses including goodwill are assigned to reporting units.

        Goodwill represents the cost of the acquired businesses in excess of the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible net assets purchased. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least on an annual basis on September 30, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans and future cash flows. Recoverability of goodwill is evaluated using a two-step process. The first step involves a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the process involves a comparison of the fair value and carrying value of the goodwill of that reporting unit. If the carrying value of the goodwill of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. Goodwill of a reporting unit will be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount.

        Intangible assets acquired individually or with a group of other assets or in a business combination, are carried at cost less accumulated amortization based on their estimated useful lives as follows:

Customer-related intangible assets   3-10 years
Marketing-related intangible assets   1-5 years
Contract-related intangible assets   1 year

        The intangible assets are amortized using a discounted cash flow method in each period which reflects the pattern in which their economic benefits are consumed or otherwise used up.

g)    Impairment of long-lived assets

        Long-lived assets, including certain intangible assets, to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Such assets are required to be tested for impairment if the carrying amount of the assets is higher than the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated from the assets. The impairment amount to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds its fair value determined using the discounted cash flow approach.

h)    Functional and foreign currency translations

        The consolidated financial statements are reported in US Dollars. The functional currency for subsidiaries organized in Europe is the Euro and the functional currencies of subsidiaries organized in

F-15



China, India, Japan, the Philippines and the U.K. are their respective local currencies. The functional currency of all other legal entities forming part of the Company is the US Dollar. The translation of the functional currencies of the respective subsidiaries into US Dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date and for revenues and expense accounts using a monthly average exchange rate prevailing during the respective period. The gains or losses resulting from such translation are reported under accumulated other comprehensive income (losses), net, a separate component of stockholders' equity.

        Monetary assets and liabilities of each subsidiary denominated in currencies other than the subsidiary's functional currency are translated into the respective functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Transactions of each subsidiary in currencies other than the subsidiary's functional currency are translated into the respective functional currency at the average monthly exchange rate prevailing during the period of the transaction. The gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of income.

i)    Loans held for sale

        In 2006, the Company acquired MoneyLine Lending Services, Inc. One of its activities is to fund and hold for sale mortgage loans. Such loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value, which is determined on an individual loan basis. Market value is equal to the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by market valuation adjustments and increased or reduced by net deferred loan origination fees and costs. It is the Company's intention to sell loans in the secondary market as soon as practical and it is not expected that loans will be held on the Company's books for periods in excess of forty five days. See note 28.

j)    Derivative instruments and hedging activities

        In the normal course of business, the Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate risk. The Company purchases forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates on inter-company transactions and forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies.

        The Company designates derivative contracts as cash flow hedges if they satisfy the criteria for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Changes in fair values of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are deferred and recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income until the hedged transactions occur and are then recognized in the consolidated statements of income included in foreign exchange losses, net under operating expenses and other income (expense). Changes in fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments and the ineffective portion of derivatives designated as cash flow and interest rate hedges are recognized in the consolidated statements of income and are included in foreign exchange losses, net under operating expenses and other income (expense).

        In respect of derivatives designated as hedges, the Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Company also formally assesses, both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether each derivative is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair

F-16



values or cash flows of the hedged item. If it is determined that a derivative or a portion thereof is not highly effective as a hedge, or if a derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, the Company will prospectively discontinue hedge accounting with respect to that derivative.

        In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative is retained, the Company continues to carry the derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet and recognizes any subsequent change in its fair value in the consolidated statement of income. When it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting and recognizes immediately in the consolidated statement of income the gains and losses attributable to such derivative that were accumulated in other comprehensive income.

k)    Income taxes

        The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases and all operating losses carried forward, if any. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statement of Income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are recognized in full, subject to a valuation allowance that may reduce the amount recognized to that which is more likely than not to be realized. In the case of an entity that benefits from a corporate tax holiday, deferred tax assets or liabilities for existing temporary differences are recorded only to the extent such temporary differences are expected to reverse after the expiry of the tax holiday.

        The current tax liability in relation to the interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 is provided based on the effective tax rate for the entire fiscal year.

        The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

        There have been no events since the adoption of FIN 48 that have had a material impact on the liability for uncertain tax positions.

        As of January 1, 2007, the Company had an unrecognized tax benefit for uncertain tax positions equal to $8,646. Of that amount, $2,579 relates to periods commencing on or after January 1, 2005, and which

F-17


would impact the effective tax rate if the underlying issues were favorably resolved. The remaining balance amount of $6,067 relates to liabilities for uncertain tax positions taken in periods ending on or prior to the 2004 reorganization. Interest and penalties recognized in accordance with the guidance provided in FIN 48, if any, are being classified as income tax expense. As of January 1, 2007, the liability for uncertain tax positions included approximately $1,283 of estimated interest and $0 penalties.

        For federal, state and foreign tax purposes, the tax filings of the Company's subsidiaries in the U.S, Hungary, Romania and Mexico remain subject to audit for years 2005 and forward. Income tax filings of the Company's subsidiary in India are subject to examination by Indian taxing authorities for Indian tax years 2004-2005 and forward. Income tax filings of the Company's subsidiary in China are subject to examination by China taxing authorities for years 2000 and forward. Management believes that the outcome of these examinations, and of other pending litigations in India in respect of prior years, will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

        There have been no events since the adoption of FIN 48 that have had a material impact on the liability of uncertain tax positions.

l)    Retirement benefits

        Contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to consolidated statements of income in the period in which services are rendered by the covered employees. Current services cost for defined benefit plans are accrued in the period to which they relate. In accordance with SFAS No. 87, Employers' Accounting for Pensions, the liability in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated annually by the Company using the projected amount credit method. Prior service cost, if any, resulting from an amendment to a plan is recognized and amortized over the remaining period of service of the covered employees. The Company recognizes its liabilities for compensated absences in accordance with the employee benefit policy of the Company.

        As of December 31, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 158, Employer's Accounting for Defined Benefit Pensions and Other Post Retirement Benefits.

        On adoption of SFAS No.158, the Company recorded the funded status of its defined benefit pension and post retirement plan as a liability on its consolidated balance sheet with a corresponding offset, net of taxes, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholder's equity resulting in an after tax decrease in equity of $947. The following table shows the effects of adopting SFAS No.158 at December 31, 2006 on individual line items in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006:

m)    Stock-based compensation

        Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share Based Payment, (SFAS No. 123(R)), following the prospective transition method. SFAS No. 123(R) requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on the grant date fair value of those awards. In adopting SFAS No. 123(R), the Company began to recognize compensation expense for stock options net of estimated forfeitures. Under the prospective transition method, the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) apply to all awards granted or modified after the date of adoption.

        Prior to adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company followed the minimum value method of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, to account for its stock-based awards. Under this method, compensation expense was recorded on the date of grant, if the fair value of the underlying stock on date of grant exceeded the present value of the stock options on the date of grant. As required under the prospective transition method, for the portion of awards outstanding at the date of initial application of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company continues to apply the minimum value method. For awards granted after the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company has elected to amortize the compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

n)    Financial instruments and concentration of credit risk

        Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, inter-corporate deposits, deposits with banks, derivative financial instruments and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with corporations and banks with high investment grade ratings. Inter-corporate deposits are with GE, a significant shareholder. To reduce its credit risk on accounts receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of customers. GE accounted for 87% and 69% of receivables for December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively. GE accounted for 95%, 91% and 74% of net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively.

o)    Earnings (loss) per share

        In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. For the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the treasury stock method is used for options except where the results would be anti-dilutive.

p)    Commitments and contingencies

        Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated.

F-19



q)    Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

        In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108), which provides interpretative guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of materiality assessments. SAB 108 is effective for the Company as of December 31, 2006, allowing a one time transitional cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2006, for errors that were not previously deemed material, but are material under the guidance in SAB 108. The Company adopted SAB 108 in the year ended December 31, 2006 but the adoption has not resulted in any adjustment to the financial statements of the Company.

r)    Recently issued accounting pronouncements

        In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 specifies how tax benefits for uncertain tax positions are to be recognized, measured, and derecognized in financial statements; requires certain disclosures of uncertain tax matters; specifies how reserves for uncertain tax positions should be classified in the balance sheet; and provides transition and interim-period guidance, among other provisions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and, as a result, is effective for the Company for the fiscal year commencing January 1, 2007. See the discussion of income taxes in note 2(k).

        In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines "fair value" as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 provides guidance on the determination of fair value and lays down the fair value hierarchy to classify the source of information used in fair value measurement. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 on its financial statements and will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 157 for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008.

        In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other eligible items at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement in the preparation of the financial statements. However, SFAS No. 159 does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its financial statements and will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 159 for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008.

s)    Reclassification

        Certain reclassifications have been made in the financial statements of prior periods to conform to the classification used in the current year. These changes have no impact on previously reported net income or stockholders' equity of the Company.

14.    Short-term borrowings

        The Company has the following borrowing facilities:

15.    Long-term debt

        In connection with the 2004 Reorganization, the Company obtained a term loan amounting to $180,000 from a consortium of lenders. The proceeds, net of fees of $4,217, were used to finance the 2004 Reorganization and for working capital.

        During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company refinanced the debt, including changing the composition of the syndicate of lenders, the interest rate and the maturity profile. The Company paid a fee of $2,000 towards refinancing the loan. To the extent that the loan was refinanced by new lenders, the Company has recorded the refinancing as an extinguishment of the old loan with the existing unamortized cost relating to the old loan being expensed as a debt extinguishment loss. Fees paid to the new lenders are deferred and will be amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the remaining term of the new loan. To the extent that the loan was refinanced by the existing lenders, the Company has determined that the new loan is not substantially different from the old loan under the guidance provided by EITF 96-19, Debtors Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments, and accordingly the existing unamortized costs are recorded as an adjustment to interest expense over the remaining term of the modified loans.

        Further, as a part of the above restructuring, the Company arranged revolving credit facilities of $145,000 as discussed under Note 14.

        The outstanding loan, refinanced, bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of between 0.7% and 0.875% (depending on the Company's leverage). The interest rate as of December 31, 2005 and 2006 and March 31, 2006 and 2007 was 5.813%, 6.125%, 6.1875% and 6.125% respectively. Indebtedness under the loan agreement is secured by certain assets and the agreement contains certain covenants including a restriction on indebtedness of the Company.

        During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company entered into a financing arrangement amounting to $5,656 at an interest rate of 8.85% with a significant shareholder (GE) for the purchase of software licenses. The financed amount is repayable in equal monthly installments.

17.    Employee benefit plans

        The Company has employee benefit plans in the form of certain statutory and other schemes covering substantially most of its employees.

Defined benefit plans

Gratuity Plan—India

        In accordance with Indian law, the Company provides a defined benefit retirement plan (the "Gratuity Plan") covering all its Indian employees. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees on retirement or on termination of employment in an amount based on the respective employees' salary and the years of employment with the Company. The Gratuity Plan benefit cost for the year is calculated on an actuarial basis. Current service costs for the Gratuity Plan are accrued in the year to which they relate on a monthly basis. Actuarial gains or losses or prior service costs, if any, resulting from amendments to the plans are recognized and amortized over the remaining period of service of the employees.

        The following table sets forth the funded status of the Gratuity Plan and the amounts recognized in the Company financial statements based on an actuarial valuation carried out as of December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively.

Rate of return on plan assets per annum   7.5%   7.5%   7.5%

        The Company assesses these assumptions with its projected long-term plans of growth and prevalent industry standards. Unrecognized actuarial loss is amortized over the average remaining service period of the active employees expected to receive benefits under the plan.

        The Company contributes the required funding for all ascertained liabilities to the GE Capital Employees' Gratuity Fund. Trustees administer contributions made to the trust and contributions are invested in specific designated instruments as permitted by Indian law. As of December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, all of the plan assets were invested in debt securities.

        The following benefit payment, reflects expected future service, as appropriate, which are expected to be paid during the years shown:

Year ending December 31,      
2007   $ 1,116
2008     1,284

        The total remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation costs amounted to $31,088, which will be amortized over the weighted average remaining requisite vesting period of 3.21 years.

19.    Capital stock

        The Company has authorized, subscribed and issued share capital as at December 31, 2006 of $201,202 divided into 3,077,868 2% Cumulative Series A convertible preferred stock, 3,017,868 5% Cumulative Series B convertible preferred stock and 394,642 common stock each with a par value of $31.

        The preferred stock ranks senior to the common stock with respect to liquidation payment in the event of liquidation, sale payment in the event of a sale transaction, dividends and all other rights, preferences and privileges.

        The holders of shares of Cumulative Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock are entitled to cumulative cash dividends at an annual rate equal to 2.0% and 5.0%, respectively, on the Accreted Value of the stock, which was $62.3 each on issuance. Unless otherwise agreed by a resolution of the holders of 75% of the outstanding shares, these dividends are not paid in cash but shall accrue on a daily basis from the date of issuance of the shares and cumulate and compound and are added to the Accreted Value in effect immediately prior to each quarterly compounding date, whether or not the Company has earnings or profits, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such dividends and whether or not declared by the Company. Unless otherwise agreed by a resolution of the holders of 75% of the outstanding shares, accrued and unpaid dividends are paid only as part of a liquidation payment upon the occurrence of liquidation, as part of a sale payment upon the occurrence of a sale transaction or in shares of common stock in connection with a conversion of shares of Cumulative Series A and B convertible preferred stock.

        Preferred stock holders have the right, at any time and from time to time, to convert any or all of such holder's shares, including all dividends accrued but unpaid on each share of the preferred stock, into common stock in the ratio of the Accreted Value at such time to the conversion price of $623. As the accrued dividend is convertible at a conversion price that is less than the fair value of the common stock on the dividend accrual

F-37



date, the Company has recorded a beneficial conversion feature under EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, relating to the convertible accrued dividend. Accordingly, accrued preferred dividends include amounts aggregating $3,035 and $20,413 for 2005 and 2006, relating to the beneficial conversion feature.

        The aggregate liquidation value of the Cumulative Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock was $208,577 and $216,502, respectively, as of December 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2006, Cumulative Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock are each convertible into common stock of the Company in the ratio of 9.61 and 9.05 shares of preferred stock, respectively, for one share of common stock.

        Upon the closing of a Qualified Initial Public Offering, each share of preferred stock shall automatically convert, without any action by the holder thereof, into common stock in the ratio as defined in the articles of the Company.

        Each of the above mentioned shares is entitled to one vote per share.

        If the Company declares or pays a dividend on the common stock then, in that event, all the holders of shares of preferred stock shall be entitled to share in such dividends and shall receive such dividend on a pro-rata basis as if their shares had been converted into shares of common stock immediately prior to the record date for such dividends.

        During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company acquired 20,056 shares of common stock and 59,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock from a significant shareholder (GE) for a total cash consideration of $49,995, which represented the fair value of the repurchased shares on the date of repurchase. These shares are held as treasury stock.

        During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company repurchased 402 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock and 402 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock from the holders thereof at $161.60 per share (which represented the fair value of each such share) amounting to $130 and subsequently retired such repurchased preferred stock.

        As of December 31, 2006, the aggregate amount of outstanding accrued and unpaid dividends on account of Cumulative Series A convertible preferred stock and Cumulative Series B convertible preferred stock were $7,806 and $19,644, respectively, and the per share amounts of outstanding accrued and unpaid dividends on account of Cumulative Series A convertible preferred stock and Cumulative Series B convertible preferred stock were $2.54 and $6.51, respectively.

20.    Net loss per share

        The Company calculates net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Historical basic and diluted net loss per common share does not give effect to the change in capital structure resulting from the 2007 Reorganization and therefore is based on the preferred and common shares of GGH outstanding during the respective periods. (See Note 1 for a discussion of the 2007 Reorganization which was consummated on July 13, 2007.) Such preferred shares of GGH were entitled to cumulative dividends which were not paid in cash and were accrued and added to accreted value. As a result, there is a net loss per common share in all periods shown. Such preferred shares were also convertible into common shares (see note 19). The calculation of net loss per common share was determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the respective

F-38



periods. The potentially dilutive shares, consisting of such preferred shares as well as outstanding options on common shares, have not been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share, or in the weighted average shares outstanding, as the result would be anti-dilutive.

        The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2005 and 2006 was $8,091 and $15,349, respectively. The net change in the total valuation allowance for each of the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 was an increase of $8,091 and $7,258, respectively. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. In order to fully realize the deferred tax asset, the Company will need to generate future taxable income prior to the expiration of the deferred tax asset governed by the tax code. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future

F-42



taxable income over the periods for which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowances at December 31, 2006. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable; however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry-forward period are reduced.

        The subsequent recognition of tax benefits related to the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2006 amounting to $1,239 will be recognized as an adjustment to goodwill.

        As of December 31, 2006, the Company had deferred tax assets of $22,522 against net operating loss carry forwards. Operating losses of subsidiaries in Hungary and Luxembourg amounting to $47,524 can be carried forward for an indefinite period. The remaining business losses expire in the amounts shown below in the following years:

    $ 16,396   $ 57,765   $ 138
   
 
 

        Undistributed earnings of the subsidiaries amounted to approximately $155,959 and $272,737 as of December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively. It is impracticable to determine the amount of taxes payable in the event of repatriation of these earnings. The Company permanently reinvests eligible earnings of foreign subsidiaries and, accordingly, does not accrue any income, distribution or withholding taxes that would arise if such earnings were repatriated.

        During the first quarter 2007, the Hungary branch of a subsidiary of the Company became subject to a Hungarian minimum corporate tax. The impact on the tax expense in the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the period through March 31, 2007 is $2,356. The Company expects to restructure the affected operations by the end of the third quarter of 2007 in order to eliminate the applicability of this minimum tax in future periods.

        Additionally, one of the Company's India based subsidiary's corporate tax holiday partially expired on March 31, 2007. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 109, interpreted by FIN 18, Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods, the impact of the partial expiry of the tax holiday has been taken into account in determining the effective tax rate ("ETR") for the entire fiscal year.

25.    Segment reporting

        The Company manages various types of business process and information technology services in an integrated manner to customers in various industries and geographic locations. The Company's operations are located in nine countries. The Company's Chief Executive Officer who has been identified as the Chief Operation Decision Maker (CODM) reviews financial information prepared on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenue and earnings before interest and income taxes (EBIT) by identified business units. The identified business units are organized for operational reasons and represent either services-based, customer-based, industry-based or geography-based units. There is a significant overlap between the manner in which the business units are organized. Additionally, the composition and organization of the business units is fluid and the structure changes regularly in response to the growth of the overall business and changes in clients, services, industries served and delivery centers.

        Based on an overall evaluation of all facts and circumstances and after combining operating segments with similar economic characteristics that comply with other aggregation criteria specified in SFAS No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, the Company has determined that it operates as a single reportable segment.

        GE comprised 95%, 91% and 74% of the consolidated total net revenue in 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of the consolidated total net revenue during these periods.

26.    Related party transactions

        The Company has entered into related party transactions with a significant shareholder, which is GE and companies in which GE has a majority ownership interest or on which it exercises significant influence (collectively referred to as "GE" herein); and managerial personnel.

        The related party transactions can be categorized as follows:

Revenues in excess of the MVC can be credited, subject to certain limitations, against short falls in the subsequent years.

        For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 and March 31, 2006 and 2007, the Company recognized net revenues from GE of $408,879, $449,672, $453,305, $109,650 and $120,772, respectively, representing 95%, 91%, 74%, 83% and 69% of the consolidated total net revenue, respectively.

        During the year ended December 31, 2005, one of the Company's customers purchased common shares from GE under a securities purchase agreement dated November 30, 2005. Under an agreement between the Company and that customer dated November 30, 2005, the customer agreed to pay a penalty to the Company if the number of employees performing services for the customer does not exceed certain specified levels by December 31, 2010 and any one of the following events has occurred: (1) an initial public offering or a change of control event has occurred prior to that date, in which case the payment is due on January 31, 2011; (ii) an initial public offering or a change of control event occurs prior to the date when the MSA is terminated, in which case the payment is to be made on the termination of the MSA with the customer; or (iii) the MSA is terminated prior to an initial public offering or change of control event, in which case the payment is due on the earlier of the initial public offering or the change of control event.

        The amount of the payment depends on the number of employees performing services for the customer at such time as well as the price of the Company's common shares at the time of any initial public offering and the movement of an index comprised of the share prices of certain of the Company's competitors. Since the shares were sold by the principal shareholder at the fair value as of the date of the transfer of shares, the sale of common stock and the related revenue commitment has no accounting implication for the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively.

27.    Commitments and contingencies

Capital commitments

        As of December 31, 2005 and 2006, the Company has committed to spend $12,007 and $247, respectively, under agreements to purchase property, plant and equipment. This amount is net of capital advances paid in respect of these purchases.

Other commitments

        The Company's business process delivery centers in India are 100% Export Oriented Units or Software Technology Parts of India Units, ("STPI") under the STPI guidelines issued by the Government of India. These units are exempted from customs and central excise duties and levies on imported and indigenous capital goods and stores and spares. The Company has executed legal undertakings to pay custom duty, central excise duty, levies and liquidated damages payable, if any, in respect of imported and indigenous capital goods and stores and spares consumed duty free, in the event that certain terms and conditions are not fulfilled.

28.    Subsequent events (Unaudited)

Genpact Mortgage Services, Inc.

        Prior to May 31, 2007, Genpact Mortgage Services ("Genpact Mortgage") funded mortgage loans with the intention of holding them on a short-term basis (typically less than 45 days) and then selling them in the secondary market. As of May 31, 2007, when it ceased funding new mortgage loans, Genpact Mortgage held mortgage loans in the aggregate principal amount of $12 million. Genpact Mortgage's ability to sell loans is dependent on the liquidity of the secondary mortgage market, which has recently

F-48



deteriorated. As a result, Genpact Mortgage may not be able to sell loans it continues to hold and is exposed to the risk of default by borrowers.

        In connection with the sale of loans, Genpact Mortgage's practice has been to agree to repurchase a sold loan if there occurs a payment default during an agreed period of up to seven months following the sale. As of May 31, 2007, loans in the principal amount of $109.6 million were subject to such repurchase obligation, $1.1 million of which had a payment default and with respect to $0.2 million of which the holders had given Genpact Mortgage a repurchase notice.

        Management assesses the potential that it will be required to repurchase loans and determines appropriate provisions, if any, for such potential obligation by considering the type and mix of loans sold (e.g., whether sub-prime or prime), the general history and its relationship with the purchasers of the loans, loan delinquency rates, loan to value ratios, collateral quality and its historical experience.

Item 15.    Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

        During the past three years, we have issued unregistered securities to a limited number of persons, as described below. None of these transactions involved any underwriters or any public offerings and we believe that each of these transactions was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, Regulations D and S promulgated thereunder, Rule 144A of the Securities Act or Rule 701 of the Securities Act pursuant to compensatory benefit plans and contracts related to compensation as provided under Rule 701. The numbers for shares issued by GGH described below do not give effect to the 2007 Reorganization.

        In December 2004, in the 2004 Reorganization, the registrant issued 394,000 shares of common stock, 3,060,000 shares of Cumulative Series A convertible preferred stock and 3,000,000 shares of Cumulative Series B convertible preferred stock, each with a par value of Euro 25 per share, to GE Capital International (Mauritius). In connection with the transfer by the General Electric Company to the Registrants of the various operating entities and divisions that constituted the business of GGH. The transactions were conducted in reliance upon the available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including those contained in Section 4(2).

        In 2005, GGH issued options to purchase a total of 63,565 shares of its common stock to directors, officers, advisers and key employees with a weighted average exercise price of $627 per share pursuant to its 2005 Stock Option Plan.

        In 2006, GGH issued options to purchase a total of 25,428 shares of its common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $1,304 per share to directors, officers and key employees pursuant to its 2005 Stock Option Plan.

        In 2007, prior to May 1, 2007, GGH issued options to purchase 52,552 shares of its common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $2,785 per share to directors, officers and key employees pursuant to its 2005 Stock Option Plan, 2006 Stock Option Plan and its 2007 Stock Option Plan.

        In each case, no consideration was paid to GGH by any recipient of any of the foregoing options for the grant of such options. The transactions were conducted in reliance upon the available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including those contained in Rule 701, which relates to exemptions for offers and sale of securities pursuant to certain compensatory benefit plans.

        In March 2007, GGH issued 7,973 common shares to Bank Sal. Oppenheim jr. & Cie. (Luxembourg) S.A., as fiduciary for certain employees of E-Transparent, B.V. and its related entities in

II-1

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Genpact Limited, an exempted limited company organized under the laws of Bermuda (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several Underwriters named in Schedule II hereto (the “Underwriters”), and certain shareholders of the Company (each a “Selling Shareholder” and collectively, the “Selling Shareholders”) named in Schedule I hereto, severally and not jointly, propose to sell to the several Underwriters, an aggregate of [                 ] common shares, par value $0.01 per share of the Company (the “Firm Shares”), of which [                 ] common shares are to be issued and sold by the Company and [                   ] common shares are to be sold by the Selling Shareholders, each Selling Shareholder selling the amount set forth opposite such Selling Shareholder’s name in Schedule I hereto.

The Company also proposes to issue and sell to the several Underwriters not more than an additional [                 ] common shares, par value $0.01 per share (the “Additional Shares”) if and to the extent that you, as Managers of the offering, shall have determined to exercise, on behalf of the Underwriters, the right to purchase such common shares granted to the Underwriters in Section 3 hereof.  The Firm Shares and the Additional Shares are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Shares.” The common shares, par value $0.01 per share of the

 



 

Company to be outstanding after giving effect to the sales contemplated hereby are hereinafter referred to as the “Common Shares.” The Company and the Selling Shareholders are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the “Sellers.”

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement, including a prospectus, relating to the Shares.  The registration statement as amended at the time it becomes effective, including the information (if any) deemed to be part of the registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement”; the prospectus in the form first used to confirm sales of Shares (or in the form first made available to the Underwriters by the Company to meet requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus.”  If the Company has filed an abbreviated registration statement to register additional common shares pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act (the “Rule 462 Registration Statement”), then any reference herein to the term “Registration Statement” shall be deemed to include such Rule 462 Registration Statement.

For purposes of this Agreement, “free writing prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, “Time of Sale Prospectus” means the preliminary prospectus together with the free writing prospectuses, if any, each identified in Schedule III hereto, and “broadly available road show” means a “bona fide electronic road show” as defined in Rule 433(h)(5) under the Securities Act that has been made available without restriction to any person.  As used herein, the terms “Registration Statement,” “preliminary prospectus,” “Time of Sale Prospectus” and “Prospectus” shall include the documents, if any, incorporated by reference therein.

1.     Representations and Warranties of the Company.  The Company represents and warrants to and agrees with each of the Underwriters and each Selling Shareholder that:

(a)   The Registration Statement has become effective; no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement is in effect, and no proceedings for such purpose are pending before or threatened by the Commission.

(b)   (i) The Registration Statement, when it became effective, did not contain and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) the Registration Statement and the Prospectus comply and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, (iii) the Time of Sale Prospectus does not, and at the time of each sale

of the Shares in connection with the offering when the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers and at the Closing Date (as defined in Section 5), the Time of Sale Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented by the Company, if applicable, will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (iv) each broadly available road show, if any, when considered together with the Time of Sale Prospectus, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (v) the Prospectus does not contain and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that the representations and warranties set forth in this paragraph do not apply to statements or omissions in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus based upon information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use therein.

(c)   The Company is not an “ineligible issuer” in connection with the offering pursuant to Rules 164, 405 and 433 under the Securities Act.  Any free writing prospectus that the Company is required to file pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act has been, or will be, filed with the Commission in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.  Each free writing prospectus that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act or that was prepared by or behalf of or used or referred to by the Company complies or will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.  Except for the free writing prospectuses, if any, identified in Schedule III hereto and the free writing prospectus dated July 19, 2007, and electronic road shows, if any, each furnished to you before first use, the Company has not prepared, used or referred to, and will not, without your prior consent, prepare, use or refer to, any free writing prospectus.

(d)   The Company has been duly incorporated, is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of Bermuda (meaning solely that it has not failed to make any filing with any Bermuda governmental authority, or to pay any Bermuda government fee or tax, which would make it liable to be struck off the Register of Companies and thereby cease to exist under the laws of Bermuda), has the corporate power and authority to own its property and to conduct its business as described in each of the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus and is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing (where applicable) in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership or leasing of property requires such qualification, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(f)    If, during such period after the first date of the public offering of the Shares as in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Underwriters the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Securities Act) is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales by an Underwriter or dealer, any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with applicable law, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to the dealers (whose names and addresses you will furnish to the Company) to which Shares may have been sold by you on behalf of the Underwriters and to any other dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Prospectus so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.

(g)   To endeavor to qualify the Shares for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as you shall reasonably request; provided,  however, that nothing contained in this Section 7(g) shall require the Company to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits or to subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction in which it is otherwise not so subject other than suits and taxes arising out of the offering.

(h)   To make generally available to the Company’s security holders and to you as soon as practicable an earning statement covering a period of at least twelve months beginning with the first fiscal quarter of the Company occurring after the date of this Agreement which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

             (iii)          During the period when delivery of a Prospectus (or, in lieu thereof, the notice referred to under Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required under the Securities Act, such Selling Shareholder will advise the Underwriters promptly, and will confirm such advice in writing to the Underwriters, of any change in the information relating to such Selling Shareholder in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.

The provisions of this Section shall not supersede or otherwise affect any agreement that the Sellers may otherwise have for the allocation of such expenses among themselves.

9.     Covenants of the Underwriters.  Each Underwriter severally covenants with the Company not to take any action that would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of the Underwriter.

10.   Indemnity and Contribution.  (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or

22



 

(e)   In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 10(a), 10(b), 10(c) or 10(d), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 10 the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding as incurred.  In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, (iii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, or (iv) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party.  It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for (i) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Underwriters and all persons, if any, who control any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or who are affiliates of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, (ii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either such Section and (iii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Selling Shareholders and all persons, if any, who control any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or who are affiliates of any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred.  In the case of any such separate firm for the Underwriters and such control persons and affiliates of any Underwriters, such firm shall be designated in writing by Morgan Stanley, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.  In the case of any such separate firm for the Company, and such directors, officers and control persons of the Company, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Company.  In the case of any such separate firm for the Selling Shareholders and such control persons and affiliates of any Selling Shareholders, such firm shall be designated in writing by such Selling

Shareholders.  The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(f)    To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 10(a), 10(b) or 10(d) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 10(f)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 10(f)(i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative benefits received by the Sellers on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by each Seller and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares.  The relative fault of the Sellers on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Sellers or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such

 

24



 

statement or omission.  The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.  The liability of each Selling Shareholder under the contribution agreement contained in this paragraph shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate gross proceeds minus underwriting discounts and commissions from the sale of the Shares sold by such Selling Shareholder under this Agreement.

(g)   The Sellers and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters or the Selling Shareholders were, respectively, treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 10(f).  The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 10(f) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, no Selling Shareholder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount equal to the aggregate gross proceeds minus underwriting discounts and commissions from the sale of the Shares sold by such Selling Shareholder under this Agreement exceeds the amount of any damages that such Selling Shareholder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  The remedies provided for in this Section 10 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(h)   The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 10 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Selling Shareholders contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter, any Selling Shareholder or any person controlling any Selling Shareholder or any of their respective affiliates, or the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.

 

25



 

11.   Termination.  The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Company and the Selling Shareholders, if  after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States, or Bermuda shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State, India or Bermuda authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets, currency exchange rates or controls or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.

12.   Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If, on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of the Shares to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of Shares that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 12 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Shares without the written consent of such Underwriter.  If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Shares and the aggregate number of Firm Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you, the Company and the Selling Shareholders for the purchase of such Firm Shares are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter, the Company or the Selling Shareholders.  In any such case either you or the relevant Sellers shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected.  If, on

 

26



 

an Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Additional Shares and the aggregate number of Additional Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Additional Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase the Additional Shares to be sold on such Option Closing Date or (ii) purchase not less than the number of Additional Shares that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default.  Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of any Seller to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason any Seller shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, such defaulting Sellers will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

13.   Submission to Jurisdiction. (a) The Company and each of the Selling Shareholders irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or United States federal court sitting in The City of New York over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Registration Statement, or the offering of the Shares. The Company and each of the Selling shareholders irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. To the extent that the Company or any of the Selling Shareholders has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise) from the jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with respect to itself or its property, the Company and each of the Selling Shareholders irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such immunity in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding.

(b) Genpact Investment Co. (Lux) SICAR S.à.r.l. hereby irrevocably appoints National Corporate Research, with offices at 225 West 34th Street, Suite 910, New York, New York 10122, as its agent for service of process in any suit, action or proceeding described in the preceding paragraph and agrees that service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be made upon it at the office of such agent. GE Capital (Mauritius) Holdings Limited hereby irrevocably appoints GE Capital Equity Capital Group, Inc., with offices at 201 Merritt 7 Norwalk, CT  06851, Attention: General Counsel, as its agent for service of

process in any suit, action or proceeding described in the preceding paragraph and agrees that service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be made upon it at the office of such agent.  The Company and each of the Selling Shareholders waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any other requirements of or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect thereto. Each of the Selling Shareholders represent and warrant that such Selling Shareholders’ agent has agreed to act as such Selling Shareholders’ agent for service of process, respectively, and each of the Selling Shareholders agree to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments, that may be necessary to continue such appointments in full force and effect.

14.   Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than United States dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Underwriters could purchase United States dollars with such other currency in The City of New York on the business day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Seller with respect to any sum due from it to any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than United States dollars, not be discharged until the first business day following receipt by such Underwriter or controlling person of any sum in such other currency, and only to the extent that such Underwriter or controlling person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase United States dollars with such other currency. If the United States dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Underwriter or controlling person hereunder, such Seller agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Underwriter or controlling person against such loss. If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to such Underwriter or controlling person hereunder, such Underwriter or controlling person agrees to pay to such Seller an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to such Underwriter or controlling person hereunder.

15.   Foreign Taxes. All payments made by any Seller under this Agreement, if any, will be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (excluding income taxes and franchise taxes that may be payable by the Underwriters) imposed or levied by or on behalf of Bermuda or India or any political subdivision or any taxing authority thereof or therein unless the Company or any of the Selling Shareholders is or becomes required by law to withhold or deduct such taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges. In such event, the Company or the relevant Selling Shareholder, as applicable, will pay such additional amounts as will result, after such withholding or deduction, in the receipt by each Underwriter and each person controlling any Underwriter, as the case may be, of the amounts that would otherwise have been receivable in respect thereof if such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental

charges had not been imposed, except to the extent such taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges are imposed or levied by reason of such Underwriter’s or controlling person’s (i) being connected with Bermuda or India other than by reason of its being an Underwriter or a person controlling any Underwriter under this Agreement or (ii) failure to comply with any reasonable certification, identification or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Underwriter or person controlling the Underwriter, as applicable, if such compliance is required as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, deduction or withholding of such taxes, provided that such compliance would not be unreasonably burdensome or onerous in the reasonable judgment of the relevant Underwriter or the person controlling such Underwriter.

16.   Entire Agreement.  (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Shares, represents the entire agreement between the Company and the Selling Shareholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Shares.

(b)   The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Shares:  (i) the Underwriters have acted at arms length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company.  The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Shares.

17.   Counterparts.  This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

18.   Applicable Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

If:

(2)           prior to the expiration of the restricted period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the restricted period;

the restrictions imposed by this agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event.

The undersigned shall not engage in any transaction that may be restricted by this agreement during the 34-day period beginning on the last day of the initial restricted period unless the undersigned requests and receives prior written confirmation from the Company or the Representatives that the restrictions imposed by this agreement have expired.

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offering.  The undersigned further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

3.2.1        as regards dividend:

 

after making all necessary provisions, where relevant, for payment of any preferred dividend in respect of any preference shares in the Company then outstanding, the Company shall apply any profits or reserves which the Board resolves to distribute in paying such profits or reserves to the holder of the Common Shares in respect of their holding of such shares pari passu and pro rata to the number of Common Shares held by each of them;

 

3.2.2        as regards capital:

 

on a return of assets on liquidation, reduction of capital or otherwise, the holders of the Common Shares shall be entitled to be paid the surplus assets of the Company remaining after payment of its liabilities (subject to the rights of holders of any preferred shares in the Company then in issue having preferred rights on the return of capital) in respect of their holdings of Common Shares pari passu and pro rata to the number of Common Shares held by each of them;

 

3.2.3        as regards voting in general meetings:

The rights attaching to the Undesignated Shares, subject to these Bye-Laws generally and to Bye-Law 3.4 in particular, shall be as follows:

 

4



 

3.3.1        each Undesignated Share shall have attached to it such preferred, qualified or other special rights, privileges and conditions and be subject to such restrictions, whether in regard to dividend, return of capital, redemption, conversion into Common Shares or voting or otherwise, as the Board may determine;

 

3.3.2        the Board may allot the Undesignated Shares in more than one series and, if it does so, may name and designate each series in such manner as it deems appropriate to reflect the particular rights and restrictions attached to that series, which may differ in all or any respects from any other series of Undesignated Shares;

 

3.3.3        the particular rights and restrictions attached to any Undesignated Shares shall be recorded in a resolution of the Board. The Board may at any time before the allotment of any Undesignated Share by further resolution in any way amend such rights and restrictions or vary or revoke its designation. A copy of any such resolution or amending resolution for the time being in force shall be annexed as an appendix to (but shall not form part of) these Bye-Laws; and

 

3.3.4        the Board shall not attach to any Undesignated Share any rights or restrictions which would alter or abrogate any of the special rights attached to any other class of series of shares for the time being in issue without such sanction as is required for any alteration or abrogation of such rights, unless expressly authorised to do so by the rights attaching to or by the terms of issue of such shares.

 

3.4      Without limiting the foregoing and subject to the Companies Acts, the Company may issue preference shares which:

 

3.4.1        are liable to be redeemed on the happening of a specified event or events or on a given date or dates and/or;

3.5      The terms and manner of the redemption of any redeemable shares created pursuant to Bye-Law 3.3 shall be as the Board may by resolution determine before the allotment of such shares and the terms and manner of redemption of any other redeemable preference shares shall be either:

 

3.5.1        as the Shareholders may by Resolution determine; or

 

3.5.2        insofar as the Shareholders do not by any Resolution determine, as the Board may by resolution determine, in either case, before the allotment of such shares. A copy of any such Resolution or resolution of the Board for the time being in force shall be attached as an appendix to (but shall not form part of) these Bye-Laws.

 

3.6      The terms of any redeemable preference shares may provide for the whole or any part of the amount due on redemption to be paid or satisfied otherwise than in cash, to the extent permitted by the Companies Acts.

 

5

3.8      The Board may, at its discretion and without the sanction of a Resolution, authorise the purchase by the Company of its own shares, of any class, at any price (whether at par or above or below par), and any shares to be so purchased may be selected in any manner whatsoever, upon such terms as the Board may in its discretion determine, provided always that such purchase is effected in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Acts. The whole or any part of the amount payable on any such purchase may be paid or satisfied otherwise than in cash, to the extent permitted by the Companies Acts.

 

3.9      The Board may, at its discretion and without the sanction of a Resolution, authorise the acquisition by the Company of its own shares, of any class, at any price (whether at par or above or below par), and any shares to be so purchased may be selected in any manner whatsoever, to be held as treasury shares, upon such terms as the Board may in its discretion determine, provided always that such acquisition is effected in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Acts. The whole or any part of the amount payable on any such acquisition may be paid or satisfied otherwise than in cash, to the extent permitted by the Companies Acts. The Company shall be entered in the Register as a Shareholder in respect of the shares held by the Company as treasury shares and shall be a Shareholder of the Company but subject always to the provisions of the Companies Acts and for the avoidance of doubt the Company shall not exercise any rights and shall not enjoy or participate in any of the rights attaching to those shares save as expressly provided for in the Companies Act.

 

4.     Modification Of Rights

 

4.1      Subject to the Companies Acts and all or any of the special rights for the time being attached to any class of shares for the time being issued may from time to time (whether or not the Company is being wound up) be altered or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than seventy five percent (75%) of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of such shares voting in person or by proxy. To any such separate general meeting, all the provisions of these Bye-Laws as to general meetings of the Company shall mutatis mutandis apply, but so that the necessary quorum shall be two (2) or more persons holding or representing by proxy the majority of the shares of the relevant class, that every holder of shares of the relevant class shall be entitled on a poll to one vote for every such share held by him and that any holder of shares of the relevant class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll; provided, however, that if the Company or a class of Shareholders shall have only one Shareholder, one Shareholder present in person or by proxy shall constitute the necessary quorum.

 

6



 

4.2      For the purposes of this Bye-Law, unless otherwise expressly provided by the rights attached to any shares or class of shares, those rights attaching to any class of shares for the time being shall not be deemed to be altered by:

 

4.2.1        the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu with them;

 

4.2.2        the creation or issue for full value (as determined by the Board) of further shares ranking as regards participation in the profits or assets of the Company or otherwise in priority to them; or

 

4.2.3        the purchase or redemption by the Company of any of its own shares.

 

5.     Shares

 

5.1      Subject to the provisions of these Bye-Laws, the unissued shares of the Company (whether forming part of the original capital or any increased capital) shall be at the disposal of the Board, which may offer, allot, grant options over or otherwise dispose of them to such persons, at such times and for such consideration and upon such terms and conditions as the Board may determine.

 

5.2      Subject to the provisions of these Bye-Laws, any shares of the Company held by the Company as treasury shares shall be at the disposal of the Board, which may hold all or any of the shares, dispose of or transfer all or any of the shares for cash or other consideration, or cancel all or any of the shares.

 

5.3      The Board may in connection with the issue of any shares exercise all powers of paying commission and brokerage conferred or permitted by law. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts, any such commission or brokerage may be satisfied by the payment of cash or by the allotment of fully or partly paid shares or partly in one way and partly in the other.

 

5.4      Shares may be issued in fractional denominations and in such event the Company shall deal with such fractions to the same extent as its whole shares, so that a share in a fractional denomination shall have, in proportion to the fraction of a whole share that it represents, all the rights of a whole share, including (but without limiting the generality of the foregoing) the right to vote, to receive dividends and distributions and to participate in a winding-up.

 

5.5      Except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by law, no person shall be recognised by the Company as holding any share upon trust and the Company shall not be bound by or required in any way to recognise (even when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any share or in any fractional part of a share or (except only as otherwise provided in these Bye-Laws or by law) any other right in respect of any share except an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the registered holder.

 

6.     Certificates

 

6.1      No share certificates shall be issued by the Company unless, in respect of a class of shares, the Board has either for all or for some holders of such shares (who may be

 

7



 

determined in such manner as the Board thinks fit) determined that the holder of such shares may be entitled to share certificates. In the case of a share held jointly by several persons, delivery of a certificate to one of several joint holders shall be sufficient delivery to all.

 

6.2      If a share certificate is defaced, lost or destroyed, it may be replaced without fee but on such terms (if any) as to evidence and indemnity and to payment of the costs and out of pocket expenses of the Company in investigating such evidence and preparing such indemnity as the Board may think fit and, in case of defacement, on delivery of the old certificate to the Company.

 

6.3      All certificates for share or loan capital or other securities of the Company (other than letters of allotment, scrip certificates and other like documents) shall, except to the extent that the terms and conditions for the time being relating thereto otherwise provide, be in such form as the Board may determine and issued under the Seal or signed by a Director, the Secretary or any person authorised by the Board for that purpose. The Board may by resolution determine, either generally or in any particular case, that any signatures on any such certificates need not be autographic but may be affixed to such certificates by some mechanical means or may be printed thereon or that such certificates need not be signed by any persons, or may determine that a representation of the Seal may be printed on any such certificates. If any person holding an office in the Company who has signed, or whose facsimile signature has been used on, any certificate ceases for any reason to hold his office, such certificate may nevertheless be issued as though that person had not ceased to hold such office.

 

6.4      Nothing in these Bye-Laws shall prevent title to any securities of the Company from being evidenced and/or transferred without a written instrument in accordance with regulations made from time to time in this regard under the Companies Acts, and the Board shall have power to implement any arrangements which it may think fit for such evidencing and/or transfer which accord with those regulations.

 

7.     Lien

 

7.1      The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on every share (not being a fully paid share) for all monies, whether presently payable or not, called or payable, at a date fixed by or in accordance with the terms of issue of such share in respect of such share, and the Company shall also have a first and paramount lien on every share (other than a fully paid share) standing registered in the name of a Shareholder, whether singly or jointly with any other person, for all the debts and liabilities of such Shareholder or his estate to the Company, whether the same shall have been incurred before or after notice to the Company of any interest of any person other than such Shareholder, and whether the time for the payment or discharge of the same shall have actually arrived or not, and notwithstanding that the same are joint debts or liabilities of such Shareholder or his estate and any other person, whether a Shareholder or not. The Company’s lien on a share shall extend to all dividends payable thereon. The Board may at any time, either generally or in any particular case, waive any lien that has arisen or declare any share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Bye-Law.

 

8



 

7.2      The Company may sell, in such manner as the Board may think fit, any share on which the Company has a lien but no sale shall be made unless some sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable nor until the expiration of fourteen (14) days after a notice in writing, stating and demanding payment of the sum presently payable and giving notice of the intention to sell in default of such payment, has been served on the holder for the time being of the share.

 

7.3      The net proceeds of sale by the Company of any shares on which it has a lien shall be applied in or towards payment or discharge of the debt or liability in respect of which the lien exists so far as the same is presently payable, and any residue shall (subject to a like lien for debts or liabilities not presently payable as existed upon the share prior to the sale) be paid to the person who was the holder of the share immediately before such sale. For giving effect to any such sale, the Board may authorise some person to transfer the share sold to the purchaser thereof. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the share and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings relating to the sale.

 

7.4

 

7.4.1        Whenever any law for the time being of any country, state or place imposes or purports to impose any immediate or future or possible liability upon the Company to make any payment or empowers any government or taxing authority or government official to require the Company to make any payment in respect of any shares registered in any of the Company’s registers as held either jointly or solely by any Shareholder or in respect of any dividends, bonuses or other monies due or payable or accruing due or which may become due or payable to such Shareholder by the Company on or in respect of any shares registered as aforesaid or for or on account or in respect of any Shareholder and whether in consequence of:

 

7.4.1.1     the death of such Shareholder;

 

7.4.1.2     the non-payment of any income tax or other tax by such Shareholder;

 

7.4.1.3     the non-payment of any estate, probate, succession, death, stamp, or other duty by the executor or administrator of such Shareholder or by or out of his estate; or

 

7.4.1.4     any other act or thing;

 

7.4.2        in every such case (except to the extent that the rights conferred upon holders of any class of shares render the Company liable to make additional payments in respect of sums withheld on account of the foregoing):

 

7.4.2.1     the Company shall be fully indemnified by such Shareholder or his executor or administrator from all liability;

 

7.4.2.2     the Company shall have a lien upon all dividends and other monies payable in respect of the shares registered in any of the Company’s registers as held

 

9



 

either jointly or solely by such Shareholder for all monies paid or payable by the Company in respect of such shares or in respect of any dividends or other monies as aforesaid thereon or for or on account or in respect of such Shareholder under or in consequence of any such law together with interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum thereon from the date of payment to date of repayment and may deduct or set off against such dividends or other monies payable as aforesaid any monies paid or payable by the Company as aforesaid together with interest as aforesaid;

 

7.4.2.3     the Company may recover as a debt due from such Shareholder or his executor or administrator wherever constituted any monies paid by the Company under or in consequence of any such law and interest thereon at the rate and for the period aforesaid in excess of any dividends or other monies as aforesaid then due or payable by the Company; and

 

7.4.2.4     the Company may, if any such money is paid or payable by it under any such law as aforesaid, refuse to register a transfer of any shares by any such Shareholder or his executor or administrator until such money and interest as aforesaid is set off or deducted as aforesaid, or in case the same exceeds the amount of any such dividends or other monies as aforesaid then due or payable by the Company, until such excess is paid to the Company.

 

7.5      Subject to the rights conferred upon the holders of any class of shares, nothing herein contained shall prejudice or affect any right or remedy which any law may confer or purport to confer on the Company and as between the Company and every such Shareholder as aforesaid, his estate representative, executor, administrator and estate wheresoever constituted or situate, any right or remedy which such law shall confer or purport to confer on the Company shall be enforceable by the Company.

 

8.     Calls On Shares

 

8.1      The Board may from time to time make calls upon the Shareholders (for the avoidance of doubt excluding the Company in respect of any nil or partly paid shares held by the Company as treasury shares) in respect of any monies unpaid on their shares (whether on account of the par value of the shares or by way of premium) and not by the terms of issue thereof made payable at a date fixed by or in accordance with such terms of issue, and each Shareholder shall (subject to the Company serving upon him at least fourteen (14) days’ notice specifying the time or times and place of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times and place so specified the amount called on his shares. A call may be revoked or postponed as the Board may determine.

 

8.2      A call may be made payable by instalments and shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Board authorising the call was passed.

 

8.3      The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

 

10



 

8.4      If a sum called in respect of the share shall not be paid before or on the day appointed for payment thereof the person from whom the sum is due shall pay interest on the sum from the day appointed for the payment thereof to the time of actual payment at such rate as the Board may determine, but the Board shall be at liberty to waive payment of such interest wholly or in part.

 

8.5      Any sum which, by the terms of issue of a share, becomes payable on allotment or at any date fixed by or in accordance with such terms of issue, whether on account of the nominal amount of the share or by way of premium, shall for all the purposes of these Bye-Laws be deemed to be a call duly made, notified and payable on the date on which, by the terms of issue, the same becomes payable and, in case of non-payment, all the relevant provisions of these Bye-Laws as to payment of interest, forfeiture or otherwise shall apply as if such sum had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

 

8.6      The Board may on the issue of shares differentiate between the allottees or holders as to the amount of calls to be paid and the times of payment.

 

9.     Forfeiture Of Shares

 

9.1      If a Shareholder fails to pay any call or instalment of a call on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Board may at any time thereafter during such time as any part of such call or instalment remains unpaid serve a notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call or instalment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued.

 

9.2      The notice shall name a further day (not being less than fourteen (14) days from the date of the notice) on or before which, and the place where, the payment required by the notice is to be made and shall state that, in the event of non-payment on or before the day and at the place appointed, the shares in respect of which such call is made or instalment is payable will be liable to be forfeited. The Board may accept the surrender of any share liable to be forfeited hereunder and, in such case, references in these Bye-Laws to forfeiture shall include surrender.

 

9.3      If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any share in respect of which such notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before payment of all calls or instalments and interest due in respect thereof has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Board to that effect. Such forfeiture shall include all dividends declared in respect of the forfeited shares and not actually paid before the forfeiture.

 

9.4      When any share has been forfeited, notice of the forfeiture shall be served upon the person who was before forfeiture the holder of the share but no forfeiture shall be in any manner invalidated by any omission or neglect to give such notice as aforesaid.

 

9.5      A forfeited share shall be deemed to be the property of the Company and may be sold, re-offered or otherwise disposed of either to the person who was, before forfeiture, the holder thereof or entitled thereto or to any other person upon such terms and in such manner as the Board shall think fit, and at any time before a sale,

 

11



 

re-allotment or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Board may think fit.

 

9.6      A person whose shares have been forfeited shall thereupon cease to be a Shareholder in respect of the forfeited shares but shall, notwithstanding the forfeiture, remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which at the date of forfeiture were presently payable by him to the Company in respect of the shares with interest thereon at such rate as the Board may determine from the date of forfeiture until payment, and the Company may enforce payment without being under any obligation to make any allowance for the value of the shares forfeited.

 

9.7      An affidavit in writing that the deponent is a Director of the Company or the Secretary and that a share has been duly forfeited on the date stated in the affidavit shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share. The Company may receive the consideration (if any) given for the share on the sale, re-allotment or disposition thereof and the Board may authorise some person to transfer the share to the person to whom the same is sold, re-allotted or disposed of, and he shall thereupon be registered as the holder of the share and shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money (if any) nor shall his title to the share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings relating to the forfeiture, sale, re-allotment or disposal of the share.

12.2.1      the instrument of transfer is duly stamped (if required by law) and lodged with the Company, at such place as the Board shall appoint for the purpose, accompanied by the certificate for the shares (if any has been issued) to which it relates, and such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer,

 

12.2.2      the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of share,

 

12.2.3      the instrument of transfer is in favour of less than five (5) persons jointly; and

 

12.2.4      it is satisfied that all applicable consents, authorisations, permissions or approvals of any governmental body or agency in Bermuda or any other applicable jurisdiction required to be obtained under relevant law prior to such transfer have been obtained.

 

12.3    Subject to any directions of the Board from time to time in force, the Secretary may exercise the powers and discretions of the Board under this Bye-Law.

 

12.4    If the Board declines to register a transfer it shall, within three (3) months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, send to the transferee notice of such refusal.

 

12.5    No fee shall be charged by the Company for registering any transfer, probate, letters of administration, certificate of death or marriage, power of attorney, order of court

 

13



 

or other instrument relating to or affecting the title to any share, or otherwise making an entry in the Register relating to any share, (except that the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed on it in connection with such transfer or entry).

 

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

 

13.   Transmission Of Shares

 

13.1    In the case of the death of a Shareholder, the survivor or survivors, where the deceased was a joint holder, and the estate representative, where he was sole holder, shall be the only person recognised by the Company as having any title to his shares; but nothing herein contained shall release the estate of a deceased holder (whether the sole or joint) from any liability in respect of any share held by him solely or jointly with other persons. For the purpose of this Bye-Law, estate representative means the person to whom probate or letters of administration has or have been granted in Bermuda or, failing any such person, such other person as the Board may in its absolute discretion determine to be the person recognised by the Company for the purpose of this Bye-Law.

 

13.2    Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death of a Shareholder or otherwise by operation of applicable law may, subject as hereafter provided and upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Shareholders’ Agreement or as may be required by the Board as to his entitlement, either be registered himself as the holder of the share or elect to have some person nominated by him registered as the transferee thereof. If the person so becoming entitled elects to be registered himself, he shall deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by him stating that he so elects. If he shall elect to have his nominee registered, he shall signify his election by signing an instrument of transfer of such share in favour of his nominee. All the limitations, restrictions and provisions of these Bye-Laws and the Shareholders’ Agreement relating to the right to transfer and the registration of transfer of shares shall be applicable to any such notice or instrument of transfer as aforesaid as if the death of the Shareholder or other event giving rise to the transmission had not occurred and the notice or instrument of transfer was an instrument of transfer signed by such Shareholder.

 

13.3    A person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death of a Shareholder or otherwise by operation of applicable law shall (upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Board as to his entitlement) be entitled to receive and may give a discharge for any dividends or other monies payable in respect of the share, but he shall not be entitled in respect of the share to receive notices of or to attend or vote at general meetings of the Company or, save as aforesaid, to exercise in respect of the share any of the rights or privileges of a Shareholder until he shall have become registered as the holder thereof. The Board may at any time give notice requiring such person to elect either to be registered himself or to transfer the share and, if the notice is not complied with within sixty (60) days, the Board may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends and other monies payable in respect of the shares until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

13.4    Subject to any directions of the Board from time to time in force, the Secretary may exercise the powers and discretions of the Board under this Bye-Law.

14.1    The Company may from time to time increase its capital by such sum to be divided into shares of such par value as the Company by Resolution shall prescribe.

 

14.2    The Company may, by the Resolution increasing the capital, direct that the new shares or any of them shall be offered in the first instance either at par or at a premium or (subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts) at a discount to all the holders for the time being of shares of any class or classes in proportion to the number of such shares held by them respectively.

 

14.3    The new shares shall be subject to all the provisions of these Bye-Laws with reference to lien, the payment of calls, forfeiture, transfer, transmission and otherwise.

 

15.   Alteration Of Capital

15.1.1      divide its shares into several classes and attach thereto respectively any preferential, deferred, qualified or special rights, privileges or conditions;

 

15.1.2      consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into shares of larger par value than its existing shares;

 

15.1.3      sub-divide its shares or any of them into shares of smaller par value than is fixed by its memorandum, so, however, that in the sub-division the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced share shall be the same as it was in the case of the share from which the reduced share is derived;

 

15.1.4      make provision for the issue and allotment of shares which do not carry any voting rights;

 

15.1.5      cancel shares which, at the date of the passing of the Resolution in that behalf, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person, and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled; and

 

15.1.6      change the currency denomination of its share capital.

 

15.2    Where any difficulty arises in regard to any division, consolidation, or sub-division under this Bye-Law, the Board may settle the same as it thinks expedient and, in particular, may arrange for the sale of the shares representing fractions and the distribution of the net proceeds of sale in due proportion amongst the Shareholders who would have been entitled to the fractions, and for this purpose the Board may authorise some person to transfer the shares representing fractions to the purchaser

 

15



 

thereof, who shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money nor shall his title to the shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings relating to the sale.

 

15.3    Subject to the Companies Acts and to any confirmation or consent required by law or these Bye-Laws, the Company may by Resolution from time to time convert any preference shares into redeemable preference shares.

 

16.   Reduction Of Capital

 

16.1    Subject to the Companies Acts, its memorandum and any confirmation or consent required by law or these Bye-Laws, the Company may from time to time by Resolution authorise the reduction of its issued share capital or any share premium account in any manner.

 

16.2    In relation to any such reduction, the Company may by Resolution determine the terms upon which such reduction is to be effected including, in the case of a reduction of part only of a class of shares, those shares to be affected.

 

GENERAL MEETINGS AND RESOLUTIONS IN WRITING

 

17.   General Meetings And Resolutions in Writing

 

17.1    The Board shall convene and the Company shall hold general meetings as Annual General Meetings in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Acts at such times and places as the Board shall appoint. The Board may, whenever it thinks fit, and shall, when requisitioned by shareholders holding one tenth of the paid up capital which carries the right to vote at general meetings pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Acts, convene general meetings other than Annual General Meetings, which shall be called Special General Meetings, at such time and place as the Board may appoint. In addition, if the Board so determines, meetings may be held at multiple locations in the manner determined by the Board.

 

17.2    Except in the case of the removal of auditors, anything which may be done by resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting or by resolution of any class of Shareholders in a separate general meeting may be done by resolution in writing, signed by the Shareholders (or the holders of such class of shares) who at the date of the notice of the resolution in writing represent such majority of votes as would be required if the resolution had been voted on at a meeting of the Shareholders provided that in the event that the General Electric Company and Genpact Investment Co (Lux) S.à.r.l. and any affiliate of any one of them hold, together, less than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Common Shares of the Company, the provisions of this Bye-law 17.2 and Bye-laws 17.3, 17.4, 17.5 and 17.6 shall no longer apply or have effect. Such resolution in writing may be signed by the Shareholder or its proxy, or in the case of a Shareholder that is a corporation (whether or not a company within the meaning of the Companies Acts) by its representative on behalf of such Shareholder, in as many counterparts as may be necessary.

 

16



 

17.3    Notice of any resolution in writing to be made under this Bye-Law shall be given to all the Shareholders who would be entitled to attend a meeting and vote on the resolution. The requirement to give notice of any resolution in writing to be made under this Bye-Law to such Shareholders shall be satisfied by giving to those Shareholders a copy of that resolution in writing in the same manner as that required for a notice of a general meeting of the Company at which the resolution could have been considered, except that the length of the period of notice shall not apply. The date of the notice shall be set out in the copy of the resolution in writing.

 

17.4    The accidental omission to give notice, in accordance with this Bye-Law, of a resolution in writing to, or the non-receipt of such notice by, any person entitled to receive such notice shall not invalidate the passing of the resolution in writing.

 

17.5    For the purposes of this Bye-Law, the date of the resolution in writing is the date when the resolution in writing is signed by, or on behalf of, the Shareholder who establishes the majority of votes required for the passing of the resolution in writing and any reference in any enactment to the date of passing of a resolution is, in relation to a resolution in writing made in accordance with this Bye-Law, a reference to such date.

 

17.6    A resolution in writing made in accordance with this Bye-Law is as valid as if it had been passed by the Company in general meeting or, if applicable, by a meeting of the relevant class of Shareholders of the Company, as the case may be. A resolution in writing made in accordance with this Bye-Law shall constitute minutes for the purposes of the Companies Acts and these Bye-Laws.

 

18.   Notice Of General Meetings

 

18.1    An Annual General Meeting shall be called by not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before such meeting. A Special General Meeting shall be called by not less than the minimum notice required under the Companies Acts. The notice shall specify the place, day and time of the meeting and the nature of the business to be considered. Notice of every general meeting shall be given in any manner permitted by these Bye-Laws to all Shareholders other than such as, under the provisions of these Bye-Laws or the terms of issue of the shares they hold, are not entitled to receive such notice from the Company and to each Director, and to any Resident Representative who or which has delivered a written notice upon the Registered Office requiring that such notice be sent to him or it.

 

18.2    The accidental omission to give notice of a meeting or (in cases where instruments of proxy are sent out with the notice) the accidental omission to send such instrument of proxy to, or the non-receipt of notice of a meeting or such instrument of proxy by, any person entitled to receive such notice shall not invalidate the proceedings at that meeting.

 

18.3    A Shareholder present, either in person or by proxy, at any meeting of the Company or of the holders of any class of shares in the Company shall be deemed to have received notice of the meeting and, where requisite, of the purposes for which it was called.

 

17



 

18.4    The Board may cancel or postpone a meeting of the Shareholders after it has been convened and notice of such cancellation or postponement shall be served in accordance with these Bye-Laws upon all Shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting so cancelled or postponed setting out, where the meeting is postponed to a specific date, notice of the new meeting in accordance with this Bye-Law.

 

19.   Proceedings At General Meetings

 

19.1    In accordance with the Companies Acts, a general meeting may be held with only one individual present provided that the requirement for a quorum is satisfied. No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present when the meeting proceeds to business, but the absence of a quorum shall not preclude the appointment, choice or election of a chairman, which shall not be treated as part of the business of the meeting. Save as otherwise provided by these Bye-Laws, at least two (2) Shareholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote representing the holders of more than fifty per cent (50%) of the issued shares entitled to vote at such meeting shall be a quorum for all purposes; provided, however, that if the Company or a class of Shareholders shall have only one Shareholder, one Shareholder present in person or by proxy shall constitute the necessary quorum.

 

19.2    If, after a certain period of time has passed after that appointed for the meeting, such period of time to be decided at the discretion of the chairman of the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened on the requisition of Shareholders, shall be dissolved. In any other case, it shall stand adjourned to such other day and such other time and place as the chairman of the meeting may determine and at such adjourned meeting two (2) Shareholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote and representing the holders of more than 50 per cent of the issued shares entitled to vote at such meeting shall be a quorum, provided that if the Company or a class of Shareholders shall have only one Shareholder, one Shareholder present in person or by proxy shall constitute the necessary quorum. The Company shall give not less than 5 days’ notice of any meeting adjourned through want of a quorum and such notice shall state that the sole Shareholder or, if more than one, two (2) Shareholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote and representing the holders of more than 50 per cent of the issued shares entitled to vote at such meeting shall be a quorum. If at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within fifteen (15) minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, the meeting shall be dissolved.

 

19.3    The chairman of the meeting may, with the consent by resolution of any meeting at which a quorum is present (and shall if so directed by the meeting), adjourn the meeting from time to time (or sine die) and from place to place but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business which might lawfully have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. In addition to any other power of adjournment conferred by law, the chairman of the meeting may at any time without consent of the meeting adjourn the meeting (whether or not it has commenced or a quorum is present) to another time and/or place (or sine die) if, in his opinion, it would facilitate the conduct of the business of the meeting to do so or if he is so directed (prior to or at the meeting) by the Board. When a meeting is adjourned sine die, the time and place for the adjourned meeting shall be fixed by the

 

18



 

Board. When a meeting is adjourned for three (3) months or more or for an indefinite period, at least 10 days’ notice shall be given of the adjourned meeting. Save as expressly provided by these Bye-Laws, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an adjournment or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned meeting.

 

19.4    A meeting of the Shareholders or any class thereof may be held by means of such telephone, electronic or other communication facilities (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, by telephone, or by video conferencing) as permit all persons participating in the meeting to communicate with each other simultaneously and instantaneously, and participation in such a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

 

19.5    Subject to the Companies Acts, a resolution may only be put to a vote at a general meeting of the Company or of any class of Shareholders if:

 

19.5.1      it is proposed by or at the direction of the Board; or

 

19.5.2      it is proposed at the direction of the Court; or

 

19.5.3      it is proposed on the requisition in writing of shareholders holding one tenth of the paid up capital which carries the right to vote at general meetings as is prescribed by, and is made in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the Companies Acts; or

 

19.5.4      the chairman of the meeting in his absolute discretion decides that the resolution may properly be regarded as within the scope of the meeting.

 

19.6    No amendment may be made to a resolution, at or before the time when it is put to a vote, unless the chairman of the meeting in his absolute discretion decides that the amendment or the amended resolution may properly be put to a vote at that meeting.

 

19.7    If the chairman of the meeting rules a resolution or an amendment to a resolution admissible or out of order (as the case may be), the proceedings of the meeting or on the resolution in question shall not be invalidated by any error in his ruling. Any ruling by the chairman of the meeting in relation to a resolution or an amendment to a resolution shall be final and conclusive.

 

19.8    The Resident Representative, if any, upon giving the notice referred to in Bye-Law 18.1 above, shall be entitled to attend any general meeting of the Company and each Director shall be entitled to attend and speak at any general meeting of the Company.

 

19.9    The Chairman of the Board, the President, or another person selected by the Board shall act as chairman of general meetings. The Secretary of the Company, or in the Secretary’s absence, an Assistant Secretary or Corporate Secretary of the Company, shall act as secretary at every meeting, but if neither the Secretary, Assistant Secretary nor Corporate Secretary is present, the meeting shall choose any person present to act as secretary of the meeting.

 

19



 

20.   Voting

 

20.1    Save where a greater majority is required by the Companies Acts or these Bye-Laws, any question proposed for consideration at any general meeting shall be decided on by a simple majority of votes cast.

 

20.2    Subject to Bye-Law 36.2 and to any rights or restrictions attached to any class of shares, at any meeting of the Company, each Shareholder present in person shall be entitled to one (1) vote on any question to be decided on a show of hands and each Shareholder present in person or by proxy shall be entitled on a poll to one (1) vote for each share held by him.

 

20.3    At any general meeting, a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands or by a count of votes received in the form of electronic records, unless (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands or count of votes received as electronic records or on the withdrawal of any other demand for a poll) a poll is demanded by:

 

20.3.1      the chairman of the meeting; or

 

20.3.2      at least three (3) Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy; or

 

20.3.3      any Shareholder or Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and holding between them not less than one tenth (1/10) of the total voting rights of all the Shareholders having the right to vote at such meeting; or

 

20.3.4      a Shareholder or Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy holding shares conferring the right to vote at such meeting, being shares on which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to not less than one tenth (1/10) of the total sum paid up on all such shares conferring such right.

 

The demand for a poll may, before the poll is taken, be withdrawn but only with the consent of the chairman and a demand so withdrawn shall not be taken to have invalidated the result of a show of hands or count of votes received as electronic records declared before the demand was made. If the demand for a poll is withdrawn, the chairman or any other Shareholder entitled may demand a poll.

 

20.4    Unless a poll is so demanded and the demand is not withdrawn, a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has, on a show of hands or count of votes received as electronic records, been carried or carried unanimously or by a particular majority or not carried by a particular majority or lost shall be final and conclusive, and an entry to that effect in the minute book of the Company shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of votes recorded for or against such resolution.

 

20.5    If a poll is duly demanded, the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll is demanded.

 

20.6    A poll demanded on the election of a chairman, or on a question of adjournment, shall be taken forthwith. A poll demanded on any other question shall be taken in

 

20



 

such manner and either forthwith or at such time (being not later than three (3) months after the date of the demand) and place as the chairman shall direct and he may appoint scrutineers (who need not be Shareholders) and fix a time and place for declaring the result of the poll. It shall not be necessary (unless the chairman otherwise directs) for notice to be given of a poll.

 

20.7    The demand for a poll shall not prevent the continuance of a meeting for the transaction of any business other than the question on which the poll has been demanded and it may be withdrawn at any time before the close of the meeting or the taking of the poll, whichever is the earlier.

 

20.8    On a poll, votes may be cast either personally or by proxy.

 

20.9    A person entitled to more than one vote on a poll need not use all his votes or cast all the votes he uses in the same way.

 

20.10  In the case of an equality of votes at a general meeting, whether on a show of hands or count of votes received as electronic records or on a poll, the chairman of such meeting shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote and the resolution shall fail.

 

20.11  In the case of joint holders of a share, the vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders, and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register in respect of the joint holding.

 

20.12  No Shareholder shall, unless the Board otherwise determines, be entitled to vote at any general meeting unless all calls or other sums presently payable by him in respect of shares in the Company have been paid.

 

20.13  If:

 

20.13.1          any objection shall be raised to the qualification of any voter; or,

 

20.13.2          any votes have been counted which ought not to have been counted or which might have been rejected; or,

 

20.13.3          any votes are not counted which ought to have been counted,

 

the objection or error shall not vitiate the decision of the meeting or adjourned meeting on any resolution unless the same is raised or pointed out at the meeting or, as the case may be, the adjourned meeting at which the vote objected to is given or tendered or at which the error occurs. Any objection or error shall be referred to the chairman of the meeting and shall only vitiate the decision of the meeting on any resolution if the chairman decides that the same may have affected the decision of the meeting. The decision of the chairman on such matters shall be final and conclusive.

 

21


 

21.   Proxies And Corporate Representatives

 

21.1    A Shareholder may appoint one or more persons as his proxy, with or without the power of substitution, to represent him and vote on his behalf in respect of all or some only of his shares at any general meeting (including an adjourned meeting). A proxy need not be a Shareholder. The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing executed by the appointor or his attorney authorised by him in writing or, if the appointor is a corporation, either under its seal or executed by an officer, attorney or other person authorised to sign the same.

 

21.2    A Shareholder which is a corporation may, by written authorisation, appoint any person (or two (2) or more persons in the alternative) as its representative to represent it and vote on its behalf at any general meeting (including an adjourned meeting) and such a corporate representative may exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which he represents as that corporation could exercise if it were an individual Shareholder and the Shareholder shall for the purposes of these Bye-Laws be deemed to be present in person at any such meeting if a person so authorised is present at it.

 

21.3    Any Shareholder may appoint a proxy or (if a corporation) representative for a specific general meeting, and adjournments thereof, or may appoint a standing proxy or (if a corporation) representative, by serving on the Company at the Registered Office, or at such place or places as the Board may otherwise specify for the purpose, a proxy or (if a corporation) an authorisation. Any standing proxy or authorisation shall be valid for all general meetings and adjournments thereof or resolutions in writing, as the case may be, until notice of revocation is received at the Registered Office or at such place or places as the Board may otherwise specify for the purpose. Where a standing proxy or authorisation exists, its operation shall be deemed to have been suspended at any general meeting or adjournment thereof at which the Shareholder is present or in respect to which the Shareholder has specially appointed a proxy or representative. The Board may from time to time require such evidence as it shall deem necessary as to the due execution and continuing validity of any standing proxy or authorisation and the operation of any such standing proxy or authorisation shall be deemed to be suspended until such time as the Board determines that it has received the requested evidence or other evidence satisfactory to it.

 

21.4    Subject to Bye-Law 21.3, the instrument appointing a proxy or corporate representative together with such other evidence as to its due execution as the Board may from time to time require, shall be delivered at the Registered Office (or at such place or places as may be specified in the notice convening the meeting or in any notice of any adjournment or, in either case or the case of a resolution in writing, in any document sent therewith) by such date and time specified in the notice of meeting or adjourned meeting prior to the holding of the relevant meeting or adjourned meeting at which the person named in the instrument proposes to vote or, in the case of a poll taken subsequently to the date of a meeting or adjourned meeting, before the time appointed for the taking of the poll, or, in the case of a resolution in writing, prior to the effective date of the resolution in writing and in default the instrument of proxy or authorisation shall not be treated as valid.

 

22



 

21.5    Instruments of proxy or authorisation shall be in any common form or in such other form as the Board may approve and the Board may, if it thinks fit, send out with the notice of any meeting or any resolution in writing forms of instruments of proxy or authorisation for use at that meeting or in connection with that resolution in writing. The instrument of proxy shall be deemed to confer authority to demand or join in demanding a poll, to speak at the meeting and to vote on any amendment of a resolution in writing or amendment of a resolution put to the meeting for which it is given as the proxy thinks fit. The instrument of proxy or authorisation shall, unless the contrary is stated therein, be valid as well for any adjournment of the meeting as for the meeting to which it relates. If the terms of the appointment of a proxy include a power of substitution, any proxy appointed by substitution under such power shall be deemed to be the proxy of the Shareholder who conferred such power. All the provisions of these Bye-Laws relating to the execution and delivery of an instrument or other form of communication appointing or evidencing the appointment of a proxy shall apply, mutates mutandis, to the instrument or other form of communication effecting or evidencing such an appointment by substitution.

 

21.6    A vote given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy or authorisation shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death or unsoundness of mind of the principal, or revocation of the instrument of proxy or of the corporate authority, provided that no intimation in writing of such death, unsoundness of mind or revocation shall have been received by the Company at the Registered Office (or such other place as may be specified for the delivery of instruments of proxy or authorisation in the notice convening the meeting or other documents sent therewith) at least one hour before the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting, or the taking of the poll, or the day before the effective date of any resolution in writing at which the instrument of proxy or authorisation is used.

 

21.7    Subject to the Companies Acts, the Board may at its discretion waive any of the provisions of these Bye-Laws related to proxies or authorisations and, in particular, may accept such verbal or other assurances as it thinks fit as to the right of any person to attend, speak and vote on behalf of any Shareholder at general meetings or to sign resolutions in writing.

 

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

22.   Appointment Of Directors

 

22.1    The number of Directors shall be not less than thirteen (13) or such lesser or greater number as the Board by resolution may from time to time determine provided that, at all times, there shall be no fewer than three (3) Directors. Any one or more vacancies in the Board not filled at any general meeting shall be deemed casual vacancies for the purposes of these Bye-Laws. Without prejudice to the power of the Company by Resolution in pursuance of any of the provisions of these Bye-Laws to appoint any person to be a Director, the Board, so long as a quorum of Directors remains in office, shall have power at any time and from time to time, subject to Bye-Laws 22.2 and 22.3, to appoint any individual to be a Director so as to fill a casual vacancy. A Director so appointed shall hold office only until the next following Annual General Meeting and shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to

 

23



 

retire by rotation at the meeting. If not reappointed at such Annual General Meeting, he shall vacate office at the conclusion thereof.

 

22.2    The Directors may be divided by resolution of the Board into three classes. To the extent that this division is implemented by the Board in accordance with this Bye-law 22.2, the remaining provisions of this Bye-law and Bye-laws 22.4, 22.5 and 22.6 shall have effect. In the event that a class division is implemented the Board, such classes will be designated class I, class II and class III and the number of Directors allocated to each such class shall be at the discretion of the Board. There is no distinction in the voting or other powers and authorities of Directors of different classes; the classifications are solely for the purposes of the retirement by rotation provisions set out in Bye-Laws 22.4, 22.5 and 22.6. All Directors will be designated as either class I, class II or class III Directors. The Board shall from time to time by resolution determine the respective numbers of class I Directors, class II Directors and class III Directors.

 

22.3    Upon resignation or termination of office of any Director, if a new Director shall be appointed to the Board he will be designated to fill the vacancy arising and shall, for the purposes of these Bye-Laws, and to the extent that Bye-law 22.2 has been implemented, constitute a member of the class of Directors represented by the person that he replaces.

 

22.4    Each class I Director shall (unless his office is vacated in accordance with these Bye-Laws) serve initially until the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of the Company held in the calendar year 2008 and subsequently shall (unless his office is vacated in accordance with these Bye-Laws) serve for three-year terms, each concluding at the third Annual General Meeting after the class I Directors together were last appointed or re-appointed.

 

22.5    Each class II Director shall (unless his office is vacated in accordance with these Bye-Laws) serve initially until the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of the Company held in the calendar year 2009 and subsequently shall (unless his office is vacated in accordance with these Bye-Laws) serve for three-year terms, each concluding at the third Annual General Meeting after the class II Directors together were last appointed or re-appointed.

 

22.6    Each class III Director shall (unless his office is vacated in accordance with these Bye-Laws) serve initially until the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of the Company held in the calendar year 2010 and subsequently shall (unless his office is vacated in accordance with these Bye-Laws) serve for three-year terms, each concluding at the third Annual General Meeting after the class III Directors together were last appointed or re-appointed.

 

22.7    Any Director retiring at an Annual General Meeting will be eligible for re-appointment and will retain office until the close of the meeting at which he retires or (if earlier) until a Resolution is passed at that meeting not to fill the vacancy or the resolution to re-appoint him is put to a vote at the meeting and is lost.

 

24



 

22.8    If the Company, at the meeting at which a Director (to the extent applicable, of any class) retires by rotation or otherwise, does not fill the vacancy, the retiring Director shall, if willing to act, be deemed to have been re-appointed unless at the meeting it is resolved not to fill the vacancy or unless a resolution for the re-appointment of the Director is put to the meeting and lost.

 

22.9    No person other than a Director retiring by rotation shall be appointed a Director at any general meeting unless:

 

22.9.1      he is recommended by the Board; or

 

22.9.2      in the case of an Annual General Meeting, not less than one hundred twenty (120) nor more than one hundred fifty (150) days before the date of the Company’s proxy statement released to Shareholders in connection with the prior year’s Annual General Meeting, a notice executed by a Shareholder (not being the person to be proposed) has been received by the Secretary of the Company of the intention to propose such person for appointment, setting forth as to each person whom the Shareholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a Director:

 

22.9.2.1   the name, age, business address and residence address of such person;

 

22.9.2.2   the principal occupation or employment of such person;

 

22.9.2.3   the class, series and number of shares of the Company which are beneficially owned by such person;

 

22.9.2.4   particulars which would, if he were so appointed, be required to be included in the Company’s register of Directors and Officers; and

 

22.9.2.5   all other information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for proxies for the election of Directors pursuant to the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of the United States of America (as amended), together with notice executed by such person of his willingness to serve as a Director if so elected; provided, however, that no Shareholder shall be entitled to propose any person to be appointed, elected or re-elected Director at any special general meeting.

 

22.10  Except as otherwise authorised by the Companies Acts, the appointment of any person proposed as a Director shall be effected by a separate Resolution. Subject to Bye-Law 22.3, the Resolution appointing any Director must designate the Director as a class I, class II or class III Director to the extent that Bye-law 22.3 has been implemented.

 

22.11  All Directors, upon election or appointment, except upon re-election or re-appointment at an Annual General Meeting, must provide written acceptance of their appointment, in such form as the Board may think fit, by notice in writing to the Registered Office within thirty (30) days of their appointment.

23.   Resignation And Disqualification Of Directors

 

23.1    The office of a Director shall be vacated upon the happening of any of the following events:

 

23.1.1      if he resigns his office by notice in writing delivered to the Registered Office or tendered at a meeting of the Board;

 

23.1.2      if he becomes of unsound mind or a patient for any purpose of any statute or applicable law relating to mental health and the Board resolves that his office is vacated;

 

23.1.3      if he becomes bankrupt under the laws of any country or compounds with his creditors;

24.   Directors’ Interests

 

24.1    A Director may hold any other office or place of profit with the Company (except that of auditor) in conjunction with his office of Director for such period and upon such terms as the Board may determine, and may be paid such extra remuneration therefor (whether by way of salary, commission, participation in profits or otherwise) as the Board may determine, and such extra remuneration shall be in addition to any remuneration provided for by or pursuant to any other Bye-Law.

 

24.2    A Director may act by himself or his firm in a professional capacity for the Company (otherwise than as auditor) and he or his firm shall be entitled to remuneration for professional services as if he were not a Director.

 

24.3    Subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts, a Director may notwithstanding his office be a party to, or otherwise directly or indirectly interested in, any transaction or arrangement with the Company or in which the Company is otherwise interested; and be a director or other officer of, or employed by, or a party to any transaction or arrangement with, or otherwise interested in, any body corporate promoted by the

 

26



 

Company or in which the Company is interested. The Board may also cause the voting power conferred by the shares in any other company held or owned by the Company to be exercised in such manner in all respects as it thinks fit, including the exercise thereof in favour of any resolution appointing the Directors or any of them to be directors or officers of such other company, or voting or providing for the payment of remuneration to the directors or officers of such other company.

 

24.4    So long as he declares the nature of his interest at the first opportunity at a meeting of the Board or by writing to the Directors as required by the Companies Acts, a Director shall not by reason of his office be accountable to the Company for any benefit which he derives from any office or employment to which these Bye-Laws allow him to be appointed or from any transaction or arrangement in which these Bye-Laws allow him to be interested, and no such transaction or arrangement shall be liable to be avoided on the ground of any interest or benefit.

 

24.5    A Director who has disclosed his interest in a transaction or arrangement with the Company, or in which the Company is otherwise interested may be counted in the quorum and vote at any meeting at which such transaction or arrangement is considered by the Board. If any question arises at any meeting as to the entitlement of any Director (including the chairman of the meeting) to vote and the question is not resolved by his voluntarily agreeing to abstain from voting, the question shall be referred to the decision of a vote of the other Directors present at the meeting (for which purpose the interested Director shall be counted in the quorum but shall not vote on the matter) and their ruling in relation to the Director concerned shall be final and conclusive, except in a case where the nature or extent of the interest of the Director concerned, so far as known to him, has not been fairly disclosed. A Director shall not vote (or be counted in the quorum at a meeting) in respect of any resolution concerning his own appointment (including fixing or varying its terms) or the termination of his own appointment.

 

24.6    Subject to the Companies Acts and any further disclosure required thereby, a general notice to the Directors by a Director or Officer declaring that he is a director or officer or has an interest in a person and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction or arrangement made with that person, shall be a sufficient declaration of interest in relation to any transaction or arrangement so made.

 

24.7    The following definitions shall apply only with respect to the provisions of Bye-Laws 24.8 and 24.9:

 

24.7.1.     “Affiliate” or a person “affiliated” with a specified person shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Shareholders’ Agreement.

 

24.7.2      “Corporate Opportunity” means a business opportunity which is, from its nature, in the line or lines of the Company’s existing or prospective business.

 

24.7.3      “Specified Shareholder” means GE Capital (Mauritius) Holdings Ltd., Genpact Investment CO. (Lux) S.à.r.l. and any of their Affiliates provided that such Shareholder and its Affiliates, acting together, have the ability to

 

27



 

designate not less than one Director to the Board pursuant to Article II of the Shareholders’ Agreement.

 

24.8    In the event that a Director or Officer of the Company who is also a director or officer of a Specified Shareholder, or an Affiliate of a Shareholder, acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a Corporate Opportunity for both the Company and such Specified Shareholder or its Affiliate, to the fullest extent permitted by the Companies Acts and other applicable law, such Director or Officer of the Company (i) shall be deemed to have fully satisfied and fulfilled the fiduciary duty of such Director or Officer to the Company and its Shareholders with respect to such Corporate Opportunity, (ii) shall not be liable to the Company or its Shareholders for breach of any fiduciary duty by reason of the fact that such Specified Shareholder or any of its Affiliates pursues or acquires such Corporate Opportunity for itself or directs such Corporate Opportunity to another person (including, without limitation, such Specified Shareholder or any of its Affiliates) or does not communicate information regarding such Corporate Opportunity to the Company, (iii) shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believes to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and (iv) shall be deemed not to have breached his or her duty of loyalty to the Company or its Shareholders and not to have derived an improper benefit therefrom, if such Director or Officer acts in a manner consistent with the following policy:

 

24.8.1      A Corporate Opportunity available to any person who is an Officer of the Company (whether or not a Director), and who is also a director but not an officer of a Specified Shareholder, or an Affiliate of a Specified Shareholder, shall belong to the Company, unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person in writing solely in his or her capacity as a director of such Specified Shareholder or its Affiliate, in which case such Corporate Opportunity shall belong to such Specified Shareholder or its Affiliate;

 

24.8.2      A Corporate Opportunity available to any person who is a Director but not an Officer of the Company, and who is also an officer or employee (whether or not a director) of a Specified Shareholder, or an Affiliate of a Specified Shareholder, shall belong to the Company if such opportunity is expressly offered to such person in writing solely in his or her capacity as a Director of the Company, and otherwise shall belong to such Specified Shareholder or its Affiliate; and

 

24.8.3      A Corporate Opportunity available to any person who is an officer (or employee) or director of both the Company and a Specified Shareholder, or an Affiliate of a Specified Shareholder, shall belong to the Company, if such opportunity is expressly offered to such person in writing solely in his or her capacity as an Officer or Director (or employee) of the Company, and otherwise shall belong to such Specified Shareholder or its Affiliate.

 

24.9    A Corporate Opportunity that belongs to a Specified Shareholder or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, or to the Company, on the other hand, pursuant to the

 

28



 

foregoing policy shall not be pursued by the other, unless and until the party to whom the opportunity belongs determines not to pursue the opportunity and so informs the other party. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, (i) if the party to whom the Corporate Opportunity belongs does not, within a reasonable period of time of receipt of notice of the Corporate Opportunity, begin to pursue, and thereafter continue to pursue, such opportunity diligently and in good faith, the other party may then pursue such Corporate Opportunity or direct it to another person, and (ii) if a Corporate Opportunity that belongs to a Specified Shareholder was developed or otherwise made available independently to the Company, the Company may pursue such Corporate Opportunity, and such pursuit shall not violate these Bye-Laws.

 

24.10  For purposes of Bye-Laws 24.8 and 24.9 only, a Director of the Company who is chairman or vice chairman of the Board of the Company shall not be deemed to be an Officer of the Company by reason of holding such position (without regard to whether such position is deemed an Officer of the Company under the Bye-laws of the Company), unless such person is a full-time employee of the Company.

 

25.   Powers And Duties Of The Board

 

25.1    Subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts, these Bye-Laws and to any directions given by the Company by Resolution, the Board shall manage the business of the Company and may pay all expenses incurred in promoting and incorporating the Company and may exercise all the powers of the Company. No alteration of these Bye-Laws and no such direction shall invalidate any prior act of the Board which would have been valid if that alteration had not been made or that direction had not been given. The powers given by this Bye-Law shall not be limited by any special power given to the Board by these Bye-Laws and a meeting of the Board at which a quorum is present shall be competent to exercise all the powers, authorities and discretions for the time being vested in or exercisable by the Board.

 

25.2    The Board may exercise all the powers of the Company except those powers that are required by the Companies Acts or these Bye-Laws to be exercised by the Shareholders.

26.   Fees, Gratuities And Pensions

 

26.1    The ordinary remuneration of the Directors office for their services (excluding amounts payable under any other provision of these Bye-Laws) shall be determined by the Board and each such Director shall be paid a fee (which shall be deemed to accrue from day to day) at such rate as may from time to time be determined by the Board. Each Director may be paid his reasonable travel, hotel and incidental expenses in attending and returning from meetings of the Board or committees constituted

 

29



 

pursuant to these Bye-Laws or general meetings and shall be paid all expenses properly and reasonably incurred by him in the conduct of the Company’s business or in the discharge of his duties as a Director. Any Director who, by request, goes or resides abroad for any purposes of the Company or who performs services which in the opinion of the Board go beyond the ordinary duties of a Director may be paid such extra remuneration (whether by way of salary, commission, participation in profits or otherwise) as the Board may determine, and such extra remuneration shall be in addition to any remuneration provided for by or pursuant to any other Bye-Law.

 

26.2    In addition to its powers under Bye-Law 26.1 the Board may (by establishment of or maintenance of schemes or otherwise) provide additional benefits, whether by the payment of gratuities or pensions or by insurance or otherwise, for any past or present Director or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any body corporate associated with, or any business acquired by, any of them, and for any member of his family (including a spouse and a former spouse) or any person who is or was dependent on him, and may (as well before as after he ceases to hold such office or employment) contribute to any fund and pay premiums for the purchase or provision of any such benefit.

 

27.3     The Board may from time to time determine that, subject to the requirements of the Companies Acts, all or part of any fees or other remuneration payable to any Director or other Officer of the Company shall be provided in the form of shares or other securities of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or options or rights to acquire such shares or other securities, on such terms as the Board may decide.

 

27.4     No Director or former Director shall be accountable to the Company or the Shareholders for any benefit provided pursuant to this Bye-Law and the receipt of any such benefit shall not disqualify any person from being or becoming a Director of the Company.

 

27.   Delegation Of The Board’s Powers

 

27.1    The Board may by power of attorney appoint any company, firm or person or any fluctuating body of persons, whether nominated directly or indirectly by the Board, to be the attorney or attorneys of the Company for such purposes and with such powers, authorities and discretions (not exceeding those vested in or exercisable by the Board under these Bye-Laws) and for such period and subject to such conditions as it may think fit, and any such power of attorney may contain such provisions for the protection and convenience of persons dealing with any such attorney and of such attorney as the Board may think fit, and may also authorise any such attorney to sub-delegate all or any of the powers, authorities and discretions vested in him. Such attorney may, if so authorised by the power of attorney, execute any deed, instrument or other document on behalf of the Company.

 

27.2    The Board may entrust to and confer upon any Director, Officer or, without prejudice to the provisions of Bye-Law 27.3, other person any of the powers, authorities and discretions exercisable by it upon such terms and conditions with such restrictions as it thinks fit, and either collaterally with, or to the exclusion of, its own

 

30



 

powers, authorities and discretions, and may from time to time revoke or vary all or any of such powers, authorities and discretions but no person dealing in good faith and without notice of such revocation or variation shall be affected thereby.

 

27.3    When required under the requirements from time to time of any stock exchange on which the shares of the Company are listed, the Board shall appoint an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Governance Committee in accordance with the requirements of such stock exchange. The Board also may delegate any of its powers, authorities and discretions to any other committees, consisting of such person or persons (whether a member or members of its body or not) as it thinks fit. Any committee so formed shall, in the exercise of the powers, authorities and discretions so delegated, and in conducting its proceedings conform to any regulations which may be imposed upon it by the Board. If no regulations are imposed by the Board the proceedings of a committee with two (2) or more members shall be, as far as is practicable, governed by the Bye-Laws regulating the proceedings of the Board.

 

28.   Proceedings of The Board

 

28.1    The Board may meet for the despatch of business, adjourn and otherwise regulate its meetings as it thinks fit. Questions arising at any meeting shall be determined by a majority of votes. In the case of an equality of votes, the motion shall be deemed to have been lost. A Director may, and the Secretary on the requisition of a Director shall, at any time summon a meeting of the Board.

 

28.2    Notice of a meeting of the Board may be given to a Director by word of mouth or in any manner permitted by these Bye-Laws. A Director may retrospectively waive the requirement for notice of any meeting by consenting in writing to the business conducted at the meeting.

 

28.3    The quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of the Board may be fixed by the Board and, unless so fixed at any other number, shall be the majority of the total number of Directors in office from time to time. Any Director who ceases to be a Director at a meeting of the Board may continue to be present and to act as a Director and, subject to Bye-Law 28.12, be counted in the quorum until the termination of the meeting if no other Director objects and if otherwise a quorum of Directors would not be present.

 

28.4    The Resident Representative shall, upon delivering written notice of an address for the purposes of receipt of notice to the Registered Office, be entitled to receive notice of, attend and be heard at and to receive minutes of all meetings of the Board.

present within five (5) minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, or is not willing to act as chairman, the Directors present may choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

 

28.7    The meetings and proceedings of any committee consisting of two (2) or more members shall be governed by the provisions contained in these Bye-Laws for regulating the meetings and proceedings of the Board so far as the same are applicable and are not superseded by any regulations imposed by the Board.

 

28.8    A resolution in writing signed by all the Directors for the time being entitled to receive notice of a meeting of the Board, as provided for in these Bye-Laws or by all the members of a committee for the time being shall be as valid and effectual as a resolution passed at a meeting of the Board or, as the case may be, of such committee duly called and constituted. Such resolution may be contained in one document or in several documents in the like form each signed by one or more of the Directors or members of the committee concerned.

 

28.9    A meeting of the Board or a committee appointed by the Board may be held by means of such telephone, electronic or other communication facilities (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, by telephone or by video conferencing) as permit all persons participating in the meeting to communicate with each other simultaneously and instantaneously and participation in such a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. Such a meeting shall be deemed to take place where the largest group of those Directors participating in the meeting is physically assembled, or, if there is no such group, where the chairman of the meeting then is.

 

28.10  All acts done in good faith by the Board or by any committee or by any person acting as a Director or member of a committee or any person duly authorised by the Board or any committee shall, notwithstanding that it is afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any member of the Board or such committee or person acting as aforesaid or that they or any of them were disqualified or had vacated their office, be as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed and was qualified and had continued to be a Director, member of such committee or person so authorised.

 

28.11  Where proposals are under consideration concerning the appointment (including fixing or varying the terms of appointment) of two (2) or more Directors to offices or employments with the Company or any body corporate in which the Company is interested, the proposals may be divided and considered in relation to each Director separately and in such cases each of the Directors concerned (if not debarred from voting under the provisions of Bye-Law 24.5) shall be entitled to vote and be counted in the quorum in respect of each resolution except that concerning his own appointment.

 

28.12  If a question arises at a meeting of the Board or a committee of the Board as to the entitlement of a Director to vote or be counted in a quorum, the question may, before the conclusion of the meeting, be referred to the chairman of the meeting and his ruling in relation to any Director other than himself shall be final and conclusive

 

32



 

except in a case where the nature or extent of the interests of the Director concerned have not been fairly disclosed. If any such question arises in respect of the chairman of the meeting, it shall be decided by resolution of the Board (on which the chairman shall not vote) and such resolution will be final and conclusive except in a case where the interests of the chairman have not been fairly disclosed.

 

OFFICERS

 

29.   Officers

 

29.1    The Officers of the Company, who may or may not be Directors, may be appointed by the Board at any time, subject to Bye-Law 28.12. Any person appointed pursuant to this Bye-Law shall hold office for such period and upon such terms as the Board may determine and the Board may revoke or terminate any such appointment. Any such revocation or termination shall be without prejudice to any claim for damages that such Officer may have against the Company or the Company may have against such Officer for any breach of any contract of service between him and the Company which may be involved in such revocation or termination. Save as provided in the Companies Acts or these Bye-Laws, the powers and duties of the Officers of the Company shall be such (if any) as are determined from time to time by the Board.

The duties of the Secretary and the duties of the Resident Representative shall be those prescribed by the Companies Acts together with such other duties as shall from time to time be prescribed by the Board.

 

31.2    A provision of the Companies Acts or these Bye-Laws requiring or authorising a thing to be done by or to a Director and the Secretary shall not be satisfied by its being done by or to the same person acting both as Director and as, or in the place of, the Secretary.

DIVIDENDS AND OTHER PAYMENTS

 

33.   Dividends And Other Payments

 

33.1    The Board may from time to time declare dividends or distributions out of contributed surplus to be paid to the Shareholders according to their rights and interests, including such interim dividends as appear to the Board to be justified by the position of the Company. The Board, in its discretion, may determine that any dividend shall be paid in cash or shall be satisfied, subject to Bye-Law 35, in paying up in full shares in the Company to be issued to the Shareholders credited as fully paid or partly paid or partly in one way and partly the other. The Board may also pay any fixed cash dividend which is payable on any shares of the Company half yearly or on such other dates, whenever the position of the Company, in the opinion of the Board, justifies such payment.

 

33.2    Except insofar as the rights attaching to, or the terms of issue of, any share otherwise provide:

 

33.2.1      all dividends or distributions out of contributed surplus may be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the shares in respect of which the dividend or distribution is paid, and an amount paid up on a share in advance of calls may be treated for the purpose of this Bye-Law as paid-up on the share;

 

33.2.2      dividends or distributions out of contributed surplus may be apportioned and paid pro rata according to the amounts paid-up on the shares during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividend or distribution is paid.

 

33.3    The Board may deduct from any dividend, distribution or other monies payable to a Shareholder by the Company on or in respect of any shares all sums of money (if any) presently payable by him to the Company on account of calls or otherwise in respect of shares of the Company.

 

33.4    No dividend, distribution or other monies payable by the Company on or in respect of any share shall bear interest against the Company.

 

33.5    Any dividend, distribution or interest, or part thereof payable in cash, or any other sum payable in cash to the holder of shares may be paid by cheque or warrant sent through the post or by courier addressed to the holder at his address in the Register or, in the case of joint holders, addressed to the holder whose name stands first in the Register in respect of the shares at his registered address as appearing in the Register or addressed to such person at such address as the holder or joint holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque or warrant shall, unless the holder or joint holders otherwise direct, be made payable to the order of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the order of the holder whose name stands first in the Register in respect of such shares, and shall be sent at his or their risk and payment of the cheque or warrant by the bank on which it is drawn shall constitute a good discharge to the Company. Any one of two (2) or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any dividends, distributions or other monies payable or property distributable in respect of the shares held by such joint holders.

 

35



 

33.6    Any dividend or distribution out of contributed surplus unclaimed for a period of six (6) years from the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company and the payment by the Board of any unclaimed dividend, distribution, interest or other sum payable on or in respect of the share into a separate account shall not constitute the Company a trustee in respect thereof.

 

33.7    The Board may also, in addition to its other powers, direct payment or satisfaction of any dividend or distribution out of contributed surplus wholly or in part by the distribution of specific assets, and in particular of paid-up shares or debentures of any other company, and where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution or dividend, the Board may settle it as it thinks expedient, and in particular, may authorise any person to sell and transfer any fractions or may ignore fractions altogether, and may fix the value for distribution or dividend purposes of any such specific assets and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Shareholders upon the footing of the values so fixed in order to secure equality of distribution and may vest any such specific assets in trustees as may seem expedient to the Board, provided that such dividend or distribution may not be satisfied by the distribution of any partly paid shares or debentures of any company without the sanction of a Resolution.

 

34.   Reserves

 

The Board may, before declaring any dividend or distribution out of contributed surplus, set aside such sums as it thinks proper as reserves which shall, at the discretion of the Board, be applicable for any purpose of the Company and pending such application may, also at such discretion, either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments as the Board may from time to time think fit. The Board may also without placing the same to reserve carry forward any sums which it may think it prudent not to distribute.

35.2    Where any difficulty arises in regard to any distribution under this Bye-Law, the Board may settle the same as it thinks expedient and, in particular, may authorise any person to sell and transfer any fractions or may resolve that the distribution should be as nearly as may be practicable in the correct proportion but not exactly so or may ignore fractions altogether, and may determine that cash payments should be made to any Shareholders in order to adjust the rights of all parties, as may seem expedient to the Board. The Board may appoint any person to sign on behalf of the persons entitled to participate in the distribution any contract necessary or desirable for giving effect thereto and such appointment shall be effective and binding upon the Shareholders.

 

RECORD DATES

 

36.   Record Dates

 

36.1    Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Bye-Laws, the Company may fix by Resolution, or the Board may fix, any date as the record date for any dividend, distribution, allotment or issue and for the purpose of identifying the persons entitled to receive notices of any general meeting. Any such record date may be on or at any time before any date on which such dividend, distribution, allotment or issue is declared, paid or made or such notice is despatched.

 

36.2    In relation to any general meeting of the Company or of any class of Shareholder or to any adjourned meeting or any poll taken at a meeting or adjourned meeting of which notice is given, the Board may specify in the notice of meeting or adjourned meeting or in any document sent to Shareholders by or on behalf of the Board in relation to the meeting, a time and date (a “record date”) prior to the date fixed for the meeting (the “meeting date”) and, notwithstanding any provision in these Bye-Laws to the contrary, in such case:

36.2.2      as regards any shares, or shares of the relevant class, which are registered in the name of a record date holder at the record date but are not so registered at the meeting date (“relevant shares”), each holder of any relevant shares at the meeting date shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed that record date holder as his proxy for the purpose of attending and voting in respect of those relevant shares at the relevant meeting (with power to appoint, or to authorise the appointment of, some other person as proxy), in such manner as the record date holder in his absolute discretion may determine; and

 

36.2.3      accordingly, except through his proxy pursuant to Bye-Law 36.2.2 above, a holder of relevant shares at the meeting date shall not be entitled to attend or to vote at the relevant meeting, or to exercise any of the rights or privileges of a

 

37



 

Shareholder, or a Shareholder of the relevant class, in respect of the relevant shares at that meeting.

No Shareholder (other than an Officer of the Company) shall have any right to inspect any accounting record or book or document of the Company except as conferred by law or authorised by the Board or by Resolution.

The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trust for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator, with the like sanction, shall think fit, but so that no Shareholder shall be compelled to accept any shares or other assets upon which there is any liability.

42



 

43.3    Every Indemnified Person shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Company against all liabilities incurred by him by or by reason of any act done, conceived in or omitted in the conduct of the Company’s business or in the discharge of his duties, in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgement is given in his favour, or in which he is acquitted, or in connection with any application under the Companies Acts in which relief from liability is granted to him by the court.

 

43.4    To the extent that any Indemnified Person is entitled to claim an indemnity pursuant to these Bye-Laws in respect of amounts paid or discharged by him, the relevant indemnity shall take effect as an obligation of the Company to reimburse the person making such payment or effecting such discharge.

43.6.1      by the Board, by a majority vote at a meeting duly constituted by a quorum of Directors not party to the proceedings or matter with regard to which the indemnification is, or would be, claimed; or

 

43.6.2      in the case such a meeting cannot be constituted by lack of a disinterested quorum, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

 

43.6.3      by a majority vote of the Shareholders.

 

43.7    Without prejudice to the provisions of this Bye-Law, the Board shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance for or for the benefit of any Indemnified Person or any persons who are or were at any time Directors, Officers or employees of the Company, or of any other company which is its holding company or in which the Company or such holding company has any interest whether direct or indirect or which is in any way allied to or associated with the Company, or of any subsidiary undertaking of the Company or any such

43.8    These Bye-laws shall provide the broadest indemnity allowable at law, and to the extent any indemnification hereunder is prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized under any applicable law, these Bye-laws shall be interpreted as broadly as possible without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Specifically, to the extent prohibited by Bermuda law, these Bye-laws shall not result in indemnification of any person, including an Indemnified Person, to the extent that he is guilty of fraud or dishonesty. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, an Indemnified Person shall not be liable to the Company or its Shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation is not permitted under the Companies Act.

 

43.9    No amendment or repeal of any provision of these Bye-laws shall alter, to the detriment of any Indemnified Person, the rights of such Indemnified Person to the advancement of expenses or indemnification related to a claim based on an act or failure to act which took place prior to such amendment, repeal or termination.

47.1.13.2 is an Affiliate or Associate of the Company and at any time within the three (3) year period immediately prior to the date in question was the beneficial owner of Voting Shares representing fifteen percent (15%) or more of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all then outstanding shares of Voting Shares; provided, however, that the term “Interested Shareholder” shall not include any person whose ownership of shares in excess of the fifteen percent (15%) limitation set forth herein is a result of action taken solely by the Company; provided that such person shall be an Interested Shareholder if thereafter such person acquires additional shares of Voting Shares of the Company, except as a result of further corporate action not caused, directly or indirectly, by such person.

 

For the purposes of determining whether a person is an Interested Shareholder pursuant to this Bye-law, the number of Voting Shares deemed to be outstanding shall include shares deemed beneficially owned by such person through application of this paragraph, but shall not include any other Voting Shares that may be issuable pursuant to an agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants or options or otherwise.

47.1.16    “Voting Shares” shall mean all Capital Shares which by their terms may be voted on all matters submitted to Shareholders of the Company generally.

 

47.2           Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Bye-law 47, the Company shall not engage in any Business Combination with any Interested Shareholder (other than an Excluded Shareholder) or any Affiliate or Associate of any Interested Shareholder (other than an Excluded Shareholder) or any person who thereafter would be an Affiliate or Associate of such Interested Shareholder (other than an Excluded Shareholder) for a period of three (3) years following the time that such Shareholder became an Interested Shareholder, unless:

 

47.2.1      Prior to such time a majority of the Board approved either the Business Combination or the transaction which resulted in the Shareholder becoming an Interested Shareholder; or

 

47.2.2      At or subsequent to such time the Business Combination is approved by a majority of the Board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the Shareholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of not less than sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all the then outstanding Voting Shares, voting together as a single class, excluding Voting Shares beneficially owned by any Interested Shareholder or any Affiliate or Associate of such Interested Shareholders.

47.2.3      Upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the Shareholder becoming an Interested Shareholder, the Interested Shareholder or any Affiliate or Associate of the Interested Shareholder owned at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the Voting Shares of the Company outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the Voting Shares outstanding (but not the Voting Shares owned by the Interested Shareholder or any Affiliate or Associate of the Interested Shareholder) those shares owned (A) by persons who are directors and officers and (B) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

 

50



 

47.2.4      In the case of Business Combination with any Interested Shareholder or any Affiliate or Associate of any Interested Shareholder or any person who thereafter would be an Affiliate or Associate of such Interested Shareholder, in which all of the Capital Shares not already owned by such person are converted into, exchanged for or become entitled to receive, cash and/or Eligible Securities, and all of the following conditions shall have been met:

 

47.2.4.1   the aggregate amount of the cash and the Fair Market Value as of the date of the consummation of the Business Combination of Eligible Securities to be received per share by holders of Common Shares in such Business Combination shall be at least equal to the highest amount determined under clauses 47.2.4.1.1 and 47.2.4.1.2 below:

 

47.2.4.1.1        (if applicable) the highest per share price (including any brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and soliciting dealers’ fees) paid by or on behalf of the Interested Shareholder or any Affiliate or Associate of such Interested Shareholder for beneficial ownership of Common Shares acquired by it (x) within the three (3) year period immediately prior to the first public announcement of the proposed Business Combination (the “Announcement Date”) or (y) in the transaction in which it became an Interested Shareholder, whichever is higher, in either case as adjusted for any subsequent stock split, stock dividend, subdivision or reclassification with respect to the Common Shares; and

 

47.2.4.1.2        the Fair Market Value per share of Common Shares on the Announcement Date or on the date on which the Interested Shareholder became an Interested Shareholder (the “Determination Date”), whichever is higher, as adjusted for any subsequent stock split, stock dividend, subdivision or reclassification with respect to the Common Shares.

 

47.2.4.2   The aggregate amount of the cash and the Fair Market Value as of the date of the consummation of the Business Combination, of Eligible Securities to be received per share by holders of any class or series of outstanding Capital Shares, other than Common Shares, shall be at least equal to the highest amount determined under clauses 47.2.4.2.1, 47.2.4.2.2 and 47.2.4.2.3 below:

 

47.2.4.2.1        (if applicable) the highest per share price (including any brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and soliciting dealers’ fees) paid by or on behalf of the Interested Shareholder or any Affiliate or Associate of  such Interested Shareholder for beneficial ownership of shares of such class or series of Capital Shares (x) within the three (3) year period immediately prior to the Announcement Date or (y) in the transaction in which it became an Interested Shareholder, whichever is higher, in either case as adjusted for any subsequent share split, share dividend, subdivision or reclassification with respect to such class or series of Capital Shares;

 

51



 

47.2.4.2.2        the Fair Market Value per share of such class or series of Capital Shares on the Announcement Date or on the Determination Date, whichever is higher, as adjusted for any subsequent share split, subdivision or reclassification with respect to such class or series of Capital Shares; and

 

47.2.4.2.3        (if applicable) the highest preferential amount per share to which the holders of such class or series of Capital Shares would be entitled in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company regardless of whether the Business Combination to be consummated constitutes such an event.

 

47.2.4.3   The aggregate amount of the cash and the Fair Market Value, as of the date of the consummation of the Business Combination, of Eligible Securities to be received per share by holders of any securities exercisable for, exchangeable for or convertible into Capital Shares, shall be at least equal to the highest amount per share to which such holder would be entitled under  Bye-laws 47.2.4.1 or 47.2.4.4, as applicable, if such holder had exercised, exchanged or converted such security immediately prior to the date of the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

47.2.4.4   After the Determination Date and prior to the consummation of such Business Combination;

 

47.2.4.4.1        except as approved by a majority of the Continuing Directors, there shall have been no failure to declare and pay at the regular date therefor any full quarterly dividends (whether or not cumulative) payable in accordance with the terms of any outstanding Capital Shares;

 

47.2.4.4.2        there shall have been no reduction in the annual rate of dividends paid on the Common Shares except as necessary to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or subdivision of the Common Shares or except as approved by a majority of the Continuing Directors;

 

47.2.4.4.3        there shall have been an increase in the annual rate of dividends paid on the Common Shares as necessary to reflect any reclassification (including any reverse stock split), recapitalization, reorganization or any similar transaction that has the effect of reducing the number of outstanding Common Shares, unless the failure so to increase such annual rate is approved by a majority of the Continuing Directors; and

 

47.2.4.4.4        such Interested Shareholders shall not have become the beneficial owner of any additional Capital Shares except as part of the transaction that results in such Interested Shareholder becoming an Interested Shareholder and except in a transaction that; after giving effect thereto, would not result in any increase in the Interested Shareholder’s percentage beneficial ownership of any class or series of Capital Shares.

 

52



 

47.2.4.5   A proxy or information statement describing the proposed Business Combination and complying with the requirements of the Act shall be mailed to all Shareholders of the Company at least thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of such Business Combination (whether or not such proxy or information statement is required to be mailed pursuant to such Act or subsequent provisions). The proxy or information statement shall contain on the first page thereof, in a prominent place, any statement as to the recommendation (or non-recommendation) to approve the Business Combination that the Continuing Directors, or any of them, may choose to make and, if recommended by a majority of the Continuing Directors, an opinion of an investment banking firm selected by a majority of the Continuing Directors as to the fairness (or unfairness) of the terms of the Business Combination from a financial point of view to the holders of the outstanding shares of Capital Shares other than the Interested Shareholder and its Affiliates or Associates, such investment banking firm to be paid a reasonable fee for its services by the Company.

 

The provisions of this paragraph 47.2.4 shall be required to be met with respect to every class or series of outstanding Capital Shares, whether or not the Interested Shareholder or any Affiliate or Associate of such Interested Shareholder has previously acquired beneficial ownership of any shares of a particular class or series of Capital Shares.

 

47.3           The restrictions contained in paragraph 47.2 shall not apply if:

 

47.3.1      a Shareholder becomes an Interested Shareholder inadvertently and (A) as soon as practicable divests itself of ownership of sufficient shares so that the Shareholder ceases to be an Interested Shareholder; and (B) would not, at any time within the three (3) year period immediately prior to a Business Combination between the Company and such Shareholder, have been an Interested Shareholder but for the inadvertant acquisition of ownership; or

 

47.3.2      The Business Combination is proposed prior to the consummation or abandonment of and subsequent to the earlier of the public announcement or the notice required hereunder of a proposed transaction which (A) constitutes one of the transactions described in the 2nd sentence of this paragraph; (B) is with or by a person who either was not an Interested Shareholder during the previous 3 years or who became an Interested Shareholder with the approval of a majority of the Board; and (C) is approved or not opposed by a majority of the Continuing Directors. The proposed transactions referred to in the preceding sentence are limited to (x) a merger or consolidation of the corporation (except for a merger in respect of which no vote of the Shareholders of the Company is required); (y) a sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition (in 1 transaction or a series of transactions), whether as part of a dissolution or otherwise, of assets of the Company or of any Subsidiary (other than to any Subsidiary or to the Company) having an aggregate market value equal to fifty percent (50%) or more of either that aggregate market value of all of the assets of the Company determined on a consolidated basis or the

 

53



 

aggregate market value of all the Capital Shares; or (z) a proposed tender or exchange offer for fifty percent (50%) or more of the Voting Shares. The Company shall give not less than 20 days’ notice to all Interested Shareholders prior to the consummation of any of the transactions described in clause (x) or (y) of the 2nd sentence of this paragraph.

 

47.4           A majority of the Continuing Directors shall have power and duty to determine for the purpose of this Bye-Law, on the basis of information known to them after reasonable inquiry, all questions arising under this Bye-Law including, without limitation,

 

47.4.1      whether a person is an Interested Shareholder,

 

47.4.2      the number of Capital Shares or other securities beneficially owned by any person,

 

47.4.3      whether a person is an Affiliate or Associate of another,

 

47.4.4      whether a Business Combination is with an Interested Shareholder or an Affiliate or Associate of an Interested Shareholder, and

 

47.4.5      whether the assets or securities that are the subject of any Business Combination constitute a Substantial Part. Any such determination made in good faith shall be binding and conclusive on all parties.

 

The good faith determination of a majority of the Continuing Directors on such matters shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of this Bye-Law.

 

47.5           Nothing contained in this Bye-Law shall be construed to relieve any Interested Shareholder from any fiduciary obligation imposed by law.

 

47.6           The fact that any Business Combination complies with the provisions of this Bye-Law shall not be construed to impose any fiduciary duty, obligation or responsibility on the Board or any member thereof, to approve such Business Combination or recommend its adoption or approval to the Shareholders of the Company, nor shall such compliance limit, prohibit or otherwise restrict in any manner the Board or any member thereof, with respect to evaluations of or actions and responses taken with respect to such Business Combination.

 

47.7    Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Bye-Laws (and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage or separate class vote may be specified by law or these Bye-Laws), any proposal to amend, repeal or adopt any provision of these Bye-Laws inconsistent with this Bye-Law, in addition to any other vote required by law, shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Voting Shares entitled to be cast by the holders of all the then outstanding Voting Shares, voting together as a single class. An amendment adopted pursuant to this paragraph shall not be effective until 12 months after the adoption of such amendment and shall not apply to any Business Combination between the Company and any person who became an Interested Shareholder of the Company on or prior to such adoption. A Bye-law

 

54



 

amendment adopted pursuant to this paragraph shall not be further amended by the Board.

Dear Sirs

 

Genpact Limited (the “Company”) – Registration Statement on Form S 1

 

We have acted as Bermuda counsel to the Company, and this opinion as to Bermuda law is addressed to you in connection with the filing by the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) of a Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (No. 333-142875) (the “Registration Statement”) in relation to the public offering by the Company of up to 40,588,236 common shares of the Company, US$0.01 par value per share (the “Offering Shares”), 17,647,059 of which will be sold by the selling shareholders identified in the Registration Agreement under the section “Principal and Selling Shareholders” (the “Selling Shareholder Shares”) and 17,647,059 (or 22,941,177 of which if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised) of which will be issued and sold by the Company pursuant to the Registration Statement (the “Company Shares”).

 

For the purposes of this opinion we have examined and relied upon the documents listed, and in some cases defined, in the Schedule to this opinion (the “Documents”).

 

Unless otherwise defined herein or in the Schedule to this opinion, terms defined in the Registration Statement have the same meanings when used in this opinion.

 



 

Assumptions

 

In stating our opinion we have assumed:

 

(a)           the authenticity, accuracy and completeness of all Documents (including, without limitation, public records) submitted to us as originals and the conformity to authentic original documents of all Documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, notarised, faxed or photostatic copies;

 

(b)           that each of the Documents which was received by electronic means is complete, intact and in conformity with the transmission as sent;

 

(c)           the genuineness of all signatures on the Documents;

 

(d)           the authority, capacity and power of each of the persons signing the Documents (other than the Company in respect of the Documents);

 

(e)           that any representation, warranty or statements of fact or law, other than as to Bermuda law, made in any of the Documents are true, accurate and complete;

 

(f)            that the records which were the subject of the Company Search were complete and accurate at the time of such search and disclosed all information which is material for the purposes of this opinion and such information has not since the date of the Company Search been materially altered;

 

(g)           that the records which were the subject of the Litigation Search were complete and accurate at the time of such search and disclosed all information which is material for the purposes of this opinion and such information has not since the date of the Litigation Search been materially altered;

 

(h)           that there are no provisions of the laws or regulations of any jurisdiction other than Bermuda which would be contravened by the issue of the Company Shares or which would have any implication in relation to the opinion expressed herein and that, in so far as any obligation, or action to be taken, as described in the Registration Statement is required to be performed or taken in any jurisdiction outside Bermuda, the performance of such obligation or the

 

2



 

taking of such action will constitute a valid and binding obligation of each of the parties thereto under the laws of that jurisdiction and will not be illegal by virtue of the laws of that jurisdiction;

 

(i)            that the Resolutions are in full force and effect, have not been rescinded, either in whole or in part, and accurately record the resolutions passed by the Board of Directors in meetings which were duly convened and at which a duly constituted quorum was present and voting throughout and that there is or was, at the relevant time, no matter affecting the authority of the Directors of the Company to issue and allot the Selling Shareholder Shares or the Company Shares, not disclosed by the Constitutional Documents, the Company Search, the Litigation Search, or the Resolutions, which would have any adverse implication in relation to the opinions expressed herein; and

 

(j)            that, when executed and delivered, the Underwriting Agreement will be in a form which does not differ in any material respect from the drafts which we have examined for the purposes of this opinion.

 

Opinion

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject to the reservations set out below and to any matters not disclosed to us, we are of the opinion that:

 

(1)           The Company is an exempted company incorporated with limited liability and existing under the laws of Bermuda and is in good standing under the laws of Bermuda.

 

(2)           The Selling Shareholder Shares are duly authorised, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable common shares of the Company.

 

(3)           All necessary corporate action required to be taken by the Company in connection with the issue by the Company of the Offering Shares pursuant to Bermuda law has been taken by or on behalf of the Company, and all necessary approvals of Governmental authorities in Bermuda have been duly obtained for the issue by the Company of the Offering Shares.

 

3



 

(4)           When issued pursuant to the Resolutions and delivered against payment therefor in the circumstances referred to or summarised in the Registration Statement, the Company Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable common shares of the Company.

 

(5)           There are no taxes, duties or other charges payable to or chargeable by the Government of Bermuda, or any authority or agency thereof in respect of the issue of the Offering Shares.

 

Reservations

 

We have the following reservations:

 

(a)           We express no opinion as to any law other than Bermuda law and none of the opinions expressed herein relates to compliance with or matters governed by the laws of any jurisdiction except Bermuda. This opinion is limited to Bermuda law as applied by the courts of Bermuda at the date hereof.

 

(b)           In paragraph (1) above, the term “good standing” means only that the Company has received a Certificate of Compliance from the Registrar of Companies in Hamilton Bermuda which confirms that the Company has neither failed to make any filing with any Bermuda governmental authority nor to pay any Bermuda government fee or tax, which might make it liable to be struck off the Registrar of Companies and thereby cease to exist under the laws of Bermuda.

 

(c)           Any reference in this opinion to shares being “non-assessable” shall mean, in relation to fully paid shares of the Company and subject to any contrary provision in any agreement in writing between the Company and the holder of the shares, that no shareholder shall be bound by an alteration to the Memorandum of Association or Bye-laws of the Company after the date on which he became a shareholder, if and so far as the alteration requires him to take, or subscribe for additional shares, or in any way increases his liability to contribute to the share capital of, or otherwise to pay money to, the Company.

 

(d)           Searches of the Register of Companies at the office of the Registrar of Companies and of the Supreme Court Causes Book at the Registry of the

 

4



 

Supreme Court are not conclusive and it should be noted that the Register of Companies and the Supreme Court Causes Book do not reveal:

 

(i)            details of matters which have been lodged for filing or registration which as a matter of best practice of the Registrar of Companies or the Registry of the Supreme Court would have or should have been disclosed on the public file, the Causes Book or the Judgment Book, as the case may be, but for whatever reason have not actually been filed or registered or are not disclosed or which, notwithstanding filing or registration, at the date and time the search is concluded are for whatever reason not disclosed or do not appear on the public file, the Causes Book or Judgment Book;

 

(ii)           details of matters which should have been lodged for filing or registration at the Registrar of Companies or the Registry of the Supreme Court but have not been lodged for filing or registration at the date the search is concluded;

 

(iii)          whether an application to the Supreme Court for a winding-up petition or for the appointment of a receiver or manager has been prepared but not yet been presented or has been presented but does not appear in the Causes Book at the date and time the search is concluded;

 

(iv)          whether any arbitration or administrative proceedings are pending or whether any proceedings are threatened, or whether any arbitrator has been appointed; or

 

(v)           whether a receiver or manager has been appointed privately pursuant to the provisions of a debenture or other security, unless notice of the fact has been entered in the Register of Charges in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

 

Furthermore, in the absence of a statutorily defined system for the registration of charges created by companies incorporated outside Bermuda (“overseas companies”) over their assets located in Bermuda, it is not possible to determine definitively from searches of the Register of Charges maintained by the

ARTICLE II

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

SECTION 2.01.      Composition of the Board.

 

(a)           As of the date of the consummation of the Qualified Initial Public Offering, the Board of the Company shall consist of thirteen (13) Directors.

 

(i)            Subject to the other provisions of this Article II, GICO shall have the right to designate four (4) persons for nomination by the Nominating Committee as Directors to the Board, provided that at least two (2) of such persons shall at all times be NYSE Independent Directors. At the date hereof such persons shall be as identified on Exhibit C as GICO Directors.

 

(ii)           Subject to the other provisions of this Article II, GE shall have the right to designate two (2) persons for nomination by the Nominating Committee as Directors to the Board. At the date hereof such persons shall be as identified on Exhibit C as GE Directors.

 

(iii)          As of the date hereof, the Chief Executive Officer shall be a Director.

 

(iv)          As of the date hereof, the remaining Directors shall be as identified on Exhibit C as Other Directors, and thereafter shall be such persons as determined by the Nominating Committee, provided that (x) for so long as the Company is listed on the NYSE, at least a majority (or such greater number as then required by the listing standards of the NYSE) of all Directors shall be NYSE Independent Directors and  (y) not less than that number of Directors as is needed for service on the Audit Committee (or such greater number as then required by applicable law including the rules and regulations of the NYSE and the SEC) shall be SEC Independent Directors.

 

(v)           The Board may increase or decrease the number of Directors in accordance with Applicable Law and the Charter.

 

(b)           There shall be a Nominating Committee which shall determine a slate of directors for nomination for election to the Board of Directors at each annual general meeting of the Company at which a class of directors is scheduled to retire and who shall determine nominees to fill any vacancies in accordance with the requirements herein. The Nominating Committee shall nominate those persons designated by the Shareholders in accordance with this Agreement and shall nominate such other persons determined in accordance with this Agreement. The Nominating Committee shall consider any persons suggested for nomination by any other shareholder in accordance with the Company’s corporate governance guidelines and any requirements of Applicable Law or the

 

13



 

listing standards of the NYSE. The size and membership of the Nominating Committee shall be determined by the Board and shall, to the extent practicable, be comprised of that number of designees of each of GICO and GE as is proportional to the number of Directors who are designees of each such Shareholder and are on the Board at that time, it being understood that if such proportionate number is less than 1 there shall be no obligation to include, as a member of the Nominating Committee, a Director who is a designee of such Shareholder. The remaining members shall be Directors who are not designees of either such Shareholder.

 

(c)           At each annual general meeting of the Company where Directors are scheduled to retire in accordance with the Charter, the Shareholders agree to vote their Common Shares in favor of the election of all of the Directors nominated by the Nominating Committee.

 

(d)           Casual vacancies on the Board (including those resulting from actions pursuant to Section 2.02) shall be filled by a Person designated by the Board who shall serve only until the next annual general meeting whereupon the Shareholders shall vote for that Director in accordance with Section 2.01(b).

 

(e)           Subsequent to the date hereof, in the event of any changes in the Ownership Percentage of GICo or GE, each of GICo and GE shall be entitled to designate to the Nominating Committee the number of GE Directors or GICo Directors, as applicable, which corresponds to its Ownership Percentage pursuant to the following table, provided that, except in the case of GE, at least a majority of such designees of any Shareholder  (or, if the number of such persons shall be two, then one of such persons) shall at all times be NYSE Independent Directors:

Ownership Percentage

 

Number of Designees

 

 

 

 

 

> 90%

=> 80% and <= 90%

> 30% and < 80%

> 20% and <= 30%

 

2

 

=> 10% and <= 20%

 

1

 

< 10%

GICo and GE shall agree to proportionate modifications to the Ownership Percentage chart set forth in this Section 2.01(b) to reflect the number of Directors which each of GICo and GE shall be entitled to designate to the Nominating Committee at various Ownership Percentages after giving effect to all increases to the size of the Board contemplated by Section 2.01(a)(v). A majority of the Board shall at all times have the right to determine whether or not the Chief Executive Officer shall be entitled to be a Director.

 

14



 

(f)            Each Shareholder shall, at any time it is then entitled to vote for the election of Directors to the Board, vote all of its Common Shares or execute proxies or written consents, as the case may be, and take all other necessary action (including causing the Company to call a special meeting of Shareholders and taking all other actions under Applicable Law) in order to ensure that the composition of the Board complies with this Section 2.01.

 

(g)           If, at any time, the Ownership Percentage of GICo or GE is reduced (by Transfer, issuance of new Common Shares by the Company or otherwise in compliance with this Agreement), such that the number of Directors that GICo or GE, as the case may be, is entitled to designate pursuant to Section 2.01(e) is reduced by one (1) or more Directors, then GICo or GE, as the case may be, shall promptly cause such number of its then-designated Directors equal to the number by which the number of its designated Directors has been so reduced as aforesaid to resign from the Board. Such vacant Director position(s) shall be filled by the Board in accordance with the Charter and this Agreement. Notwithstanding that GICo or GE is no longer entitled to designate one (1) or more persons to serve as Directors pursuant to Section 2.01(e), nothing herein shall preclude an Affiliate, director, officer, partner, associate or employee of GICo or GE from serving on the Board if such person is elected by the shareholders of the Company in accordance with this Section 2.01(g).

 

(h)           To the extent that GICo or GE is entitled to designate at least one (1) Director pursuant to Section 2.01(e), the Company and the Shareholders shall cause the Board to cause the compensation committee, audit committee, Nominating committee and any other committee of the Board, if any, to include at least one (1) designee of GICo and/or GE, as applicable, but only if  in the case of the audit committee, such designee is an Independent Director and (y) in the case of the compensation committee and the Nominating Committee, such designee is an NYSE Independent Director and an SEC Independent Director if the same is then required by the listing standards of the NYSE and SEC Rules, as the case may be. The Board shall not create an executive committee without the consent of GICo and GE, other than any special committee of Independent Directors established by the Board for a specific purpose. This right to appoint Persons to the committees of the Company shall, at all times be subject to such designees satisfying any other requirements of Applicable Law and the NYSE Listing Standards. If any such requirement is applicable to less than all (but not all) the members of such committee, such requirement shall nevertheless be satisfied by each such designee unless compliance therewith is waived by agreement of GICO and GE.

 

(i)            If at any time GE does not have the right to designate at least one (1) Director to the Board and until the date when GE’s Ownership Percentage first constitutes less than seven and one-half percent (7.5%), the Company shall invite a representative identified by GE (the “Observer”), to attend and participate in all regular meetings of its Board and committees thereof; provided, however, that any such Observer shall not have the right to vote on any matter and no such Observer shall be deemed a member of the Board of the Company (or any

 

15



 

committee thereof) for any purpose. The Company shall give such Observer (solely in its capacity as an Observer) copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other materials that it provides to its Directors at the same time and in the same manner as provided to such Directors; provided, further, that the Observer shall agree to hold in confidence confidential information regarding such Company and its Subsidiaries which comes into his or her possession to the same extent as if he or she were a Director. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Observer may be excluded from any meetings and shall not be entitled to receive Board materials or a summary of the minutes of such meeting if the matters under discussion involve any conflict of interest on the part of the Observer or if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to a Company, such actions are reasonably required to protect any attorney-client privilege or any other available privilege.

 

(j)            The Board shall hold regular meetings at least on a quarterly basis (which may be by means of video or telephonic conference call) unless otherwise approved by two-thirds of the members of the Board thereof, including at least one (1) GICo Director and one (1) GE Director (if a GICo Director or GE Director, as applicable, is then appointed to the Board). Subject to the Charter and Applicable Law, at any meeting of the Board, any GICo Director or any GE Director may designate any other GICo Director or GE Director, as the case may be, to serve as his proxy to cast his vote on any and all matters that may properly come before the Board at any such meeting.

 

(k)           The Company shall reimburse each of the Directors for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board and meetings of committees of the Board.

 

SECTION 2.02.      Removal. A Shareholder shall cause any designee named by it as a Director to resign from the Board, or from service on any committee, and shall vote its Common Shares in favor of removal of a Director, if at any time such Director does not satisfy any applicable requirements pursuant to NYSE Listing Standards or applicable law for service on the Board or a committee. No Shareholder shall, at any time it is then entitled to vote for the removal of Directors from the Board, vote any of its Common Shares in favor of the removal of any Director who shall have been designated by GICo or GE pursuant to Section 2.01, unless (x) the designating party shall have consented to such removal in writing or (y) such removal is for cause (which shall include that such person does not satisfy the requirements for service set forth herein); provided, however, that if GICo or GE shall request in writing the removal, with or without cause, of any such Director so designated by it, such Shareholder shall vote all its Common Shares that are entitled to vote in favor of such removal.

 

SECTION 2.03.      Waiver of Applicable Law; Qualified Initial Public Offering.

 

(a)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or under Applicable Law, each Shareholder hereby irrevocably waives

 

16



 

any rights such Shareholder has under Applicable Law and the Charter of the Company which conflict with or augment in any respect the relative rights and obligations granted to the Shareholders under this Agreement and agree that the provisions of this Agreement shall govern the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein. To the extent the provisions of Applicable Law or the Charter of the Company provide any Shareholder with any supermajority or class voting rights or approvals that are in addition to or differ from the consent rights set forth in this Agreement, each Shareholder agrees to attend any properly called meeting of Shareholders and vote its Common Shares and/or execute any agreements, consents or other documents reasonably required in order to authorize, ratify or approve any matter that is otherwise approved by holders of a majority of the Common Shares entitled to vote on any such matter. Each Shareholder shall promptly vote or shall cause to be voted all of its Common Shares that are entitled to vote or promptly execute proxies or written consents, as the case may be, in favor of any matter that requires a unanimous shareholder vote under Applicable Law and that has been otherwise approved by holders of a majority of the Common Shares entitled to vote on any such matter, and the Shareholders will not exercise any dissent rights which they may have in connection therewith.

 

ARTICLE III

TRANSFERS OF COMPANY EQUITY SECURITIES

 

SECTION 3.01.      Restriction on Transfers of Shares.

 

(a)           Without the consent of GE, GICo, GAP, OH and their Affiliates and Permitted Transferees shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, either directly or indirectly, Transfer any Common Shares (whether in one transaction or a series of transactions), if such Transfer would result in a Change of Control, unless such Transfer results in the sale of Common Shares (whether by GE’s exercise of its right of co-sale or otherwise) in an arms-length transaction satisfying the terms of clause (i) or clause (ii) hereof.

 

(i)            A Transfer that would result in a Change of Control will satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.01(a) if (A) no more than twenty percent (20%) of the then outstanding Common Shares owned by Shareholders other than GE and no more than ten percent (10%) of the then outstanding Common Shares owned by GE are exchanged for, or remain outstanding in, the surviving or continuing Person resulting from such Change of Control, and (B) all of the remaining Common Shares owned by any Shareholder are sold for cash; or

 

(ii)           All then outstanding Common Shares owned by the Shareholders are sold for cash, Marketable Securities satisfying the Liquidity Requirements or both.

 

17



 

Any attempt to Transfer any Common Shares or any rights thereunder in violation of this Section 3.01(a) shall be null and void ab initio and the Company shall not register any such Transfer.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of GE or its Permitted Transferees shall, without the prior written consent of GICo, be entitled to Transfer any Common Shares, unless the following conditions are met:

 

(i)            If the Transfer is to occur prior to the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, GE does not then own, or such Transfer would not cause GE to own, less than 26,745,000 Common Shares.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that GICo and its Permitted Transferees at any time and from time to time while the restrictions in clause (i) are in effect own less than 40,117,500 Common Shares (determined on a Fully Diluted basis), GE shall be permitted to Transfer any number of Common Shares so long as its remaining Ownership Percentage is equal to or greater than the same proportion of its Ownership Percentage as of the Effective Date as the Ownership Percentage of GICo at such time represents as a proportion of its Ownership Percentage as of the Effective Date (with such amounts as of the Effective Date calculated in accordance with Section 1.01(c)).

 

SECTION 3.02.      Permitted Transfers.

 

(a)           Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to Sections 3.02(b), 3.02(c) and 3.03, any Shareholder may Transfer any Common Shares to a Permitted Transferee at any time; provided, however, that if such Transfer is to be made by GICo to a Permitted Transferee for value, such Transfer shall be subject to Section 3.05. In addition, subject to Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.04, any Shareholder may make an Exempt Transfer.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, until the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, GICo, GAP and OH shall be prohibited from Transferring (by liquidation or otherwise) any Common Shares to any general partner, limited partner, shareholder, member or other equity holder of GAP or OH without GE’s prior written consent, unless such Transfer is a sale for value and on arms-length terms that would be subject to Section 3.05; provided, however, that nothing in this Article III shall prohibit a Transfer of any Common Shares by way of a distribution from GICo to GMI in accordance with the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement.

 

(c)           Each Shareholder shall use reasonable efforts to provide the Company written notice of its intent to Transfer any Common Shares to a Permitted Transferee pursuant to this Section 3.02 at least thirty (30) days prior to such Transfer.

 

18



 

SECTION 3.03.      Transfers in Compliance with Law; Addition or Substitution of Transferee. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Transfer (other than an Exempt Transfer) of Common Shares by any Shareholder to any Person who is not a party to this Agreement shall be subject to the following: (i) the proposed transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement (which shall include each of the obligations related to the rights which are transferred to such transferee) by executing a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, (ii) the Transfer shall comply in all respects with the applicable provisions of this Agreement and (iii) the Transfer shall comply in all respects with applicable federal and state securities laws, including, without limitation, the Securities Act and Applicable Law (any Transfer complying with this Section 3.03, a “Compliant Transfer”). Upon becoming a party to this Agreement, the transferee shall, subject to Section 6.01, be substituted for or share, and shall enjoy the same rights and be subject to the same obligations as, the transferring Shareholder hereunder with respect to the Common Shares and the rights and obligations transferred pursuant to such Compliant Transfer.

 

SECTION 3.04.      Right of First Refusal.

 

(a)           If, (i) prior to the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, in the case of GE, or (ii) after the WB MSA Expiration Date, in the case of WB (GE or WB, as applicable, the “Proposed Transferor”), the Proposed Transferor desires to Transfer all or any portion of its Common Shares (the “Offered Securities”) to any Person (x) other than to a Permitted Transferee or (y) other than pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of the definition of Exempt Transfer, then, if GE is the Proposed Transferor, GE shall first offer such Offered Securities to GICo and, if WB is the Proposed Transferor, WB shall offer such Offered Securities to the Company (GICo, with respect to Transfers by GE, and the Company, with respect to Transfers by WB, are each referred to in this Section 3.04 as a “Rights Holder”), by promptly providing written notice (the “Offering Notice”) to the Rights Holder indicating (A) the number of Offered Securities proposed to be Transferred and (B) the proposed purchase price per Common Share and the other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer; provided, however, that (x) each Proposed Transferor shall only be entitled to deliver an Offering Notice (and one (1) additional Offering Notice which constitutes a Reoffer Notice as provided in Section 3.04(c)) once in any consecutive twelve (12) month period (measured from the date of the initial Offering Notice) and (y) a Proposed Transferor shall not be entitled to deliver an Offering Notice at any time when another Offering Notice or Reoffer Notice provided by such Proposed Transferor is outstanding.

 

(b)           The Rights Holder (and/or one (1) or more GICo Designees or Company Designees, as applicable) may elect to exercise the Rights Holder’s rights pursuant to this Section 3.04 by delivering written notice to the Proposed Transferor within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Offering Notice (“Option Period”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.04, the Rights Holder (and/or one (1) or more GICo Designees or

 

19



 

Company Designees, as applicable) may only elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Offered Securities pursuant to this Section 3.04. The failure of the Rights Holder to respond to the Proposed Transferor within the Option Period shall be deemed to be a waiver of the Rights Holder’s rights under this Section 3.04.

 

(c)           If the Rights Holder (and/or one (1) or more GICo Designees or Company Designees, as applicable) does not elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Offered Securities, then the Proposed Transferor may sell all, but not less than all, of the Offered Securities to any Person on terms and conditions not more favorable, in the aggregate, to the transferee than those set forth in the Offering Notice, and in any event at the same price set forth in the Offering Notice (except that the Proposed Transferor may sell the Offered Securities for a higher price or on other terms more favorable to the Proposed Transferor); provided, however, that such sale (A) is bona fide, (B) is made solely for cash consideration or Marketable Securities that satisfy the Liquidity Requirements, or both and does not involve any other consideration, agreements, arrangements or understandings between or among the Proposed Transferor or its Affiliates and any proposed transferee or its Affiliates with respect to the GE Master Services Agreement (if GE is the Proposed Transferor), the WB Master Professional Services Agreement (if WB is the Proposed Transferor) or otherwise and (C) is completed within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the expiration of the Option Period or such earlier date upon which the Rights Holder shall have delivered written notice that it does not intend to exercise its right to purchase the Offered Securities (the “Outside Date”). Any Marketable Securities issued as consideration for the Offered Securities shall be deemed, for purposes of this Section 3.04, to have a value equal to the Market Price of such Marketable Securities. If such sale is not consummated on or prior to the Outside Date for any reason, then the restrictions provided for in this Section 3.04 shall again become effective and no Transfer of such Offered Securities may be made thereafter by such Proposed Transferor without again offering the same to the Rights Holder in accordance with this Section 3.04; provided, however, that, in the event that, prior to the Outside Date with respect to any Offering Notice, such Proposed Transferor issues a separate Offering Notice (“Reoffer Notice”) with respect to the same Offered Securities on terms and conditions that are more favorable, in the aggregate, to a proposed purchaser than those set forth in the original Offering Notice, then the Option Period for such Reoffer Notice shall be thirty (30) days after the Rights Holder’s receipt of such new Reoffer Notice and the Outside Date shall be extended an additional thirty (30) days.

 

(d)           Any Transferee of WB, and the Common Shares such Transferee of WB acquires, pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall remain subject to the Company’s rights with respect to such Common Shares under Section 3.10 and WB hereby agrees that it in furtherance and not in limitation of Section 3.03(i) it shall be a condition to closing of any such Transfer that such Transferee agrees to be bound by the provisions of Section 3.10. For the avoidance of doubt, the Termination Call Notice may only be delivered within ninety (90) days after the MSA Termination.

 

20



 

(e)           After the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, none of the Common Shares held by GE or its Permitted Transferees will be subject to any restrictions on Transfer contained in this Agreement other than Section 3.03.

 

(f)            The provisions of this Section 3.04 shall cease to apply to WB upon the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date.

 

SECTION 3.05.      Right of Co-Sale.

 

(a)           At any time that GICo proposes to Transfer (“GICo Sale”) any Common Shares (“Co-Sale Securities”) to any Person other than (i) to a Permitted Transferee (unless it is a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee for value, in which case this Section 3.05 shall apply), (ii) pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of the definition of Exempt Transfer, or (iii) less than 44,575,000 Common Shares (each, a “Third Party Purchaser”), GICo shall promptly deliver to GE and, if such proposed Transfer would result in a Change of Control, to WB, written notice (“Purchaser Notice”) of such proposed Transfer indicating the identity of the Third Party Purchaser, the proposed purchase price per Common Share, and the other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer. Each of GE and, if such proposed Transfer would result in a Change of Control, WB shall have the right to sell to the Third Party Purchaser, as a condition to such sale by GICo, at the price per Common Share and on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Purchaser Notice, up to that percentage of the Common Shares it collectively holds as equals (x) the total number of Common Shares proposed to be Transferred by GICo divided by (y) the total number of Common Shares owned by GICo. GICo shall issue a new Purchaser Notice if any material term of such proposed Transfer changes.

 

(b)           GE and WB may elect to participate in such GICo Sale pursuant to this Section 3.05 by delivering written notice to GICo within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the most recent Purchaser Notice (“Co-Sale Period”) indicating the number and type of Common Shares it desires to sell to the Third Party Purchaser. The failure of GE or WB to respond to GICo within the Co-Sale Period shall be deemed to be a waiver of such party’s rights under this Section 3.05.

 

(c)           If GE and WB do not elect to participate in the GICo Sale, then GICo may, subject to Section 3.03, sell the Co-Sale Securities to the Third Party Purchaser(s) at a price per Common Share not greater than, and on terms and conditions not materially more favorable, in the aggregate, to GICo than those set forth in the Purchaser Notice (except that GICo may sell the Co-Sale Securities for a lower price or on other terms less favorable to GICo); provided, however, that such sale (A) is bona fide and made for consideration consisting solely of cash, Marketable Securities or both; provided that the Marketable Securities that would be received satisfy the Liquidity Requirements and (B) is completed within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the expiration of the Co-Sale Period (the “Co-Sale Outside Date”).

 

21



 

(d)           The exercise or non-exercise of GE’s or WB’s rights under this Section 3.05 to participate in one (1) or more GICo Sales shall not affect such party’s rights to participate in subsequent sales by GICo that meet the conditions specified in this Section 3.05.

 

(e)           At all times prior to entry by GE or WB into a binding agreement with a Third Party Purchaser with respect to a GICo Sale, such party shall be free to withdraw its participation in such sale. None of GICo, GE or WB shall have any liability to the other if any sale proposed to be made pursuant to this Section 3.05 is not consummated.

 

(f)            In connection with any GICo Sale pursuant to this Article III, GE or WB, if it  participates in such GICo Sale (a “Participating Co-Seller”), shall only be required to make substantially the same representations and warranties, covenants and other agreements as GICo has agreed to make in connection with the proposed Transfer. Each of Participating Co-Seller shall be obligated, in connection with any GICo Sale, to bear its proportionate share of all transaction-related costs, fees and expenses (including the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of GICo’s attorney and financial advisors) and to be liable for its proportionate share of all indemnification obligations on a several and not joint basis, in each case, with respect to its pro-rata share of such GICo Sale (based on such Participating Co-Seller’s Common Shares Transferred in relation to the total number of Common Shares Transferred on a Fully Diluted and a Consolidated Share basis); provided, however, that no Participating Co-Seller shall  be obligated in connection with such Transfer to agree to indemnify or hold harmless any Person with respect to an amount in excess of the net proceeds received by it in connection with such Transfer.

 

SECTION 3.06.      Call Rights.

 

(a)           MSA Termination. If the MSA Termination occurs prior to the WB MSA Expiration Date, the Company (and/or any Company Designee) may, at its option, by delivery of written notice (the “Termination Call Notice”) to WB within ninety (90) days after the date of the MSA Termination, require WB to sell, and in such case WB shall sell, to the Company (and/or any Company Designee) any or all of WB’s Common Shares upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.06. If the Company (and/or any Company Designee) fails to deliver the Termination Call Notice within ninety (90) days after the date of the MSA Termination, WB shall retain its Common Shares.

 

(b)           The purchase price of the Common Shares sold by WB to the Company pursuant to Section 3.06(a) shall be the Market Price determined as of the date specified by the Company for such purposes in the Termination Call Notice (such date being a date not more than 30 days prior to the date of the Termination Call Notice), or if there is no Market Price at such time, the Appraised Valuation.

 

22



 

(c)           In the event that an Appraised Valuation is required, WB and the Company shall comply with the following.

 

(i)            Within five (5) Business Days following the delivery of the Termination Call Notice, WB and the Company shall, by written notice delivered to the other party, each designate an independent appraiser (the “Genpact Appraiser” and the “WB Appraiser,” respectively), each of whom shall be a nationally recognized investment banking firm. WB shall cause the WB Appraiser and the Company shall cause the Genpact Appraiser to deliver to WB and the Company, not later than thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Termination Call Notice, their respective determinations of the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares proposed to be sold (the “FMV Notices”) as of such thirtieth (30th) date (the “FMV Date”). The fees and expenses of each appraiser shall be borne by the party designating such appraiser.

 

(ii)           The “Appraised Valuation” shall be expressed on a per share basis based on the Common Shares held by WB that are subject to Section 3.06(a) and shall be the average of the two Fair Market Values set forth in the FMV Notices, unless the higher of the two Fair Market Values is more than 10% above the lower of the two Fair Market Values. In such event, the WB Appraiser and the Genpact Appraiser shall together appoint a third nationally recognized investment banking firm (the “Arbitrator Appraiser”) within five (5) Business Days following the date of the initial FMV Notices. WB and the Company shall cause the Arbitrator Appraiser to, within thirty (30) days of the date of its appointment, deliver to WB and the Company the Arbitrator Appraiser’s determination of the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares proposed to be sold as of the FMV Date, which must be equal to or between the two previously delivered Fair Market Values. The Fair Market Value so determined by the Arbitrator Appraiser shall be deemed to be the Appraised Valuation and shall be binding on WB and the Company. The fees of the Arbitrator Appraiser shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by the Company and fifty percent (50%) by WB.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Section 3.06, if the Appraised Valuation is determined by the Arbitrator Appraiser and is greater than 105% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares determined by the Genpact Appraiser, the Company may revoke the Termination Call Notice, and in such case shall have no obligation to purchase WB’s Common Shares.

 

(e)           The applicable purchase price as determined above shall be payable in cash at the closing described in Section 3.06(h).

 

(f)            Each of WB and the Company (and/or any Company Designee) shall take all such further actions as may be necessary to effect any Transfer contemplated by this Section 3.06 in accordance with Applicable Law.

 

23



 

(g)           WB hereby represents and warrants that all of its Common Shares Transferred to the Company (and/or any Company Designee) pursuant to this Section 3.06 will, immediately prior to such Transfer, be owned, beneficially and of record, by WB, free and clear of Liens created by, through or under WB.

 

(h)           At the closing of the purchase and sale of the Common Shares pursuant to Section 3.06(a), WB shall deliver to the Company (and/or any Company Designee) the number of WB’s Common Shares specified in the Termination Call Notice and the Company (and/or any Company Designee) shall pay an amount of cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account specified by WB equal to the Market Price or the Appraised Valuation as determined pursuant to Section 3.06(c), as applicable. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Common Shares pursuant to Section 3.06(a) shall take place at a location designated by the Company on such date and time as may be agreed upon by the parties within the ninety (90) day period following the date of the Termination Call Notice, or such other date as shall be mutually agreed to by the parties; provided, that either party may extend such ninety (90) day period for an amount of time as is reasonably necessary to comply with any requirements of Applicable Law.

 

ARTICLE IV

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

 

SECTION 4.01.      Demand for Registration.

 

(a)           If the Company shall receive at any time after the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the Company’s Qualified Initial Public Offering (or one hundred fifty (150) days after such date if a Lock Up Waiver has been received), a written request (a “Demand Request”) from GE or GICo or a group consisting of GE and GICo (GE or GICo, or a group consisting of GE and GICo, making any such written request, the “Demand Shareholder”) that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of Registrable Securities with an anticipated aggregate offering price in excess of $50 million (a “Demand Registration”), then the Company shall, subject to Section 4.01(e), and, provided, that the Demand Shareholder (or each of GE and GICo, if acting as a group for such purpose), as the case may be, at the time of delivery of the Demand Request, holds not less than 5% of the outstanding Common Shares of the Company:

 

(i)            as soon as practicable, and in any event within sixty (60) days of the receipt of such Demand Request, file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities which the Demand Shareholder requests to be registered, subject to Section 4.03; and

 

24



 

(ii)           use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable.

 

(b)           If the Demand Shareholder intends to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by the Demand Request by means of an underwriting, the Demand Shareholder shall so advise the Company as a part of the Demand Request made pursuant to Section 4.01(a). The underwriter for such Demand Registration will be a nationally recognized investment bank selected by the Company with the approval of GE and GICo (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and the terms of such Demand Registration shall be subject to Section 4.03. Within ten (10) days after the receipt of a request for a Demand Registration from the Demand Shareholder, the Company shall (i) give written notice thereof to each other Shareholder (other than the Demand Shareholder which has requested a registration under Section 4.01(a)) and (ii) subject to Section 4.04, include in such Demand Registration all of the Registrable Securities held by such Shareholders from whom the Company has received a written request for inclusion therein within twenty (20) days of the receipt by such Shareholders of such written notice referred to in clause (i) above. Each such request by such Shareholders shall specify the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be registered. The failure of any Shareholder to respond within such twenty (20) day period referred to in clause (ii) above shall be deemed to be a waiver of such Shareholder’s rights under this Article IV with respect to such Demand Registration. Any Shareholder may waive its rights under this Article IV prior to the expiration of such twenty (20) day period by giving written notice to the Company, with a copy to the Demand Shareholder.

 

(c)           Subject to Section 4.01(d), the Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Request pursuant to this Section 4.01 if Registrable Securities shall have been sold pursuant to a  Demand Registration (or a Demand Registration shall have become effective) in the twelve (12) month period prior to the receipt of such Demand Request; provided, however, that if the effective date of any such subsequent Demand Registration is reasonably likely to occur outside of such twelve (12) month period, the Company’s obligations hereunder to prepare a registration statement shall continue, but the Company shall not in any event become obligated to cause such registration statement to be declared effective prior to the expiration of such twelve (12) month period.

 

(d)           If, within the 15 month period that commences one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date of the Qualified Initial Public Offering (or one hundred fifty (150) days after such date if a Lock Up Waiver has been received) (such period the “Initial Fifteen Months”), a Demand Registration shall have become effective and the Company receives a Demand Request (the “second Demand Request”) for a second Demand Registration during the Initial Fifteen Months, the Company shall prepare and file a registration statement for the relevant Registrable Securities for such second Demand Registration and the provisions of this Article IV shall apply except that (i) the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file such registration statement within forty five (45) days of such Demand

 

25



 

Request and (ii) all out of pocket fees, costs and expenses that would be payable by the Company in accordance with Section 4.05 (but excluding internal expenses referred to therein) shall not be payable by the Company and shall be payable by Shareholders including Registrable Securities in such registration statement pro rata in accordance with their respective amounts of Registrable Securities so included even if such second Demand Request could have been made pursuant to Section 4.01(c). If such a second Demand Request is made within the Initial Fifteen Months and the Company subsequently receives a Demand Request (the “third Demand Request”) on a date which is less than twelve months following the date of such sale of Registrable Securities, the Company shall be obligated to effect such third Demand Request  even if it would not be so obligated pursuant to Section 4.01(c); provided, that, such third Demand Request is received not less than four months following the date on which the sale of all of the Common Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement for such second Demand Request was completed (or, if earlier, the date such Registration Statement for such second Demand Request is withdrawn, abandoned or otherwise ceases to be effective). The provisions of the first sentence of this Section 4.01(d) shall apply to any such third Demand Request.

 

(e)           If the Board, in its good faith judgment, determines that any registration of Registrable Securities should not be made or continued because it would or would be reasonably likely to materially interfere with any material financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or merger or other material transaction or negotiation involving the Company or otherwise require premature disclosure of information, including financial information, that would be materially disadvantageous to the Company (a “Valid Business Reason”), the Company may postpone filing a registration statement relating to a Demand Registration until such Valid Business Reason no longer exists, but in no event for more than an aggregate of ninety (90) days in any twelve (12) month period and in case a registration statement has been filed relating to a Demand Registration, the Company, upon the approval of a majority of the Board, may cause such registration statement to be withdrawn and its effectiveness terminated or may postpone amending or supplementing such registration statement; provided, however, that, in the event of such withdrawal or termination, the Company shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Demand Shareholder whether or not such costs and expenses are covered by Section 4.05. If a registration statement shall be effective at the time the Company postpones, withdraws or terminates it, the Demand Shareholder shall immediately cease to use any prospectus contained therein upon receipt of notice from the Company. The Company shall give written notice of its determination to postpone or withdraw a registration statement and, if the Valid Business Reason for such postponement or withdrawal no longer exists, of such fact, in each case, promptly after the occurrence thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may not postpone or withdraw a filing under this Section 4.01(e) more than once in any twelve (12) month period, except that, if the Company is otherwise obligated to prepare and file a registration statement more than once during any twelve (12) month period referred to in Section 4.01(d), the Company may, postpone or withdraw a filing a second time within such

 

26



 

twelve (12) month period; provided, however, that the aggregate number of days that the Company may postpone a filing shall not exceed ninety (90) days in such twelve (12) month period.

 

SECTION 4.02.      Other Registration. Each time the Company proposes to register on its own behalf any of its stock or other securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than a registration statement relating either to the sale of securities to employees of the Company pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or an SEC Rule 145 transaction, a registration on any form which does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities, a registration in which the only Common Shares being registered is Common Shares issuable upon conversion of debt securities which are also being registered, or a Registration Statement on Form S-4 or other Registration Statement filed in connection with any acquisition by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), the Company shall, at such time, promptly deliver to each Shareholder written notice of such registration (which notice shall not be given less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the Company’s registration statement). Upon the written request of any Shareholder given within twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice by such Shareholder indicating the number of shares of Registrable Securities desired to be registered, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 4.03, cause to be registered under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities that such Shareholder has requested to be registered (an “Incidental Registration”). Each Shareholder selling securities pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall have the right to withdraw such request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any registration statement pursuant to this Section 4.02 by delivering written notice of such withdrawal to the Company. In addition, the Company or any selling Shareholder shall have the right to postpone, terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 4.02 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Shareholder has elected to include securities in such registration.

 

SECTION 4.03.      Underwritings; Cut-backs.

 

(a)           If the Company proposes or is required by a Shareholder to register Registrable Securities pursuant to an underwriting, the Company shall not be required to include any Registrable Securities of any Shareholder in such underwriting unless such Shareholder accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters; provided, however, that no Shareholder shall be required to make any representations or warranties in connection with any such registration (whether in any underwriting agreement or otherwise) other than representations and warranties as to (i) such Shareholder’s ownership of its Registrable Securities to be Transferred free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances, (ii) such Shareholder’s power and authority to effect such Transfer  (iii) such matters pertaining to such Shareholder’s compliance with securities laws as may be reasonably requested, (iv) the accuracy of

 

27



 

any other information provided by such Shareholder for inclusion in any registration statement, which information, with respect to GE, shall be substantially similar to information provided by GE to the underwriters in connection with the Qualified Initial Public Offering as the same may be supplemented or modified in light of changes in applicable law or regulation, the regulations of any securities exchange on which the Common Shares are listed, the requirements of market practice or the particular terms or circumstances of the relevant offering and (v) such Shareholder’s compliance with any prohibition on the use of free writing prospectuses set forth in such underwriting agreement; and provided, further, that the obligation of such Shareholder to indemnify pursuant to any such underwriting arrangement shall be several, not joint and several, and in proportion to the value of securities it is including in such registration; and provided, further, that such liability will be limited to the net amount received by such Shareholder from the sale of its Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration. If the total number of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by all Persons to be included in any offering exceeds the amount of securities to be sold that the underwriters determine in their reasonable discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters and the Company determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering. In the event that the underwriters determine that less than all of the securities requested to be registered can be included in such offering, then the securities that are included in such offering shall be apportioned pro rata among all selling Shareholders based on the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such Shareholder.

 

SECTION 4.04.      Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Article IV to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, and subject to Section 4.01(e), the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

 

(a)           prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities on any form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to sixty (60) days or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the registration statement has been completed; provided, however, that (i) such sixty (60) day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the holder refrains from selling any securities included in such registration at the request of an underwriter of Common Shares; and (ii) in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 that are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, subject to compliance with applicable SEC rules, such sixty (60) day period shall be extended for up to ninety (90) days, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold;

 

28



 

(b)           prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;

 

(c)           before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, provide counsel to each of (i) GE, if GE proposes to register Registrable Securities in such registration, and (ii) the remaining Shareholders holding Registrable Securities being registered in such registration (as selected by holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being registered by Shareholders other than GE) (each a “Holders’ Counsel”) with an adequate and appropriate opportunity to review and comment on such Registration Statement and each prospectus included therein (and each amendment or supplement thereto) to be filed with the SEC, subject to such documents being under the Company’s control, and (y) the Company shall notify each Holders’ Counsel and each seller of Registrable Securities of any stop order issued or threatened by the SEC and take all action required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered;

 

(d)           furnish to the Shareholders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them;

 

(e)           use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Shareholders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;

 

(f)            in the event of any underwritten public offering, (i) enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form and (ii) permit each Shareholder eligible to participate in any offering to include its Registrable Securities in such offering on the same terms and conditions as the securities of the Company and each other Person included therein subject to (A) the acceptance by such Shareholder of the terms of such offer as agreed between the Company, such other Shareholders and the Managing Underwriter and (B) Section 4.03;

 

(g)           so long as the registration statement covers the registration of Registrable Securities with an anticipated aggregate offering price in excess of $100 million, do all things customary or reasonably requested by the managing underwriter to assist and facilitate the sale of Common Shares offered in

 

29


 

such registration, including causing its officers and employees to participate in any “road show” and meetings with prospective purchasers;

 

(h)           cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement to be listed on a national securities exchange or trading system and each securities exchange and trading system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

 

(i)            provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration; and

 

(j)            use its reasonable best efforts in the event of any underwritten public offering to furnish on the date on which such Registrable Securities are sold to the underwriter, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any and (ii) a “comfort” letter dated such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any.

 

SECTION 4.05.      Expenses. Subject to Section 4.01(d), all expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Article IV including all registration and filing fees; all fees and expenses associated with filings required to be made with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”) (including, if applicable, the fees and expenses of any “qualified independent underwriter” as such term is defined in Schedule E of the By-Laws of the NASD, and of its counsel), as may be required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, any stock exchange or the NASD; fees and expenses of compliance with securities or “blue sky” laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Company in connection with “blue sky” qualifications of the Registrable Securities); rating agency fees; printing expenses (including expenses of printing certificates for the Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with Depository Trust Company and of printing prospectuses); messenger and delivery expenses; the Company’s internal expenses (including without limitation all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties); the fees and expenses incurred in connection with any listing of the Registrable Securities; fees and expenses of counsel for the Company and its independent certified public accountants (including the expenses of any special audit or “cold comfort” letters required by or incident to such performance); securities acts liability insurance (if the Company elects to obtain such insurance); the fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with such registration; the fees and expenses of other persons retained by the Company; and the reasonable fees and expenses of one (1) counsel to GICo and one (1) counsel to GE (all such

 

30



 

expenses being herein called “Registration Expenses”) will be borne by the Company, whether or not any registration statement becomes effective; provided, however, that in no event shall Registration Expenses include any underwriting discounts, commissions, or fees attributable to the sale of the Registrable Securities, which expenses shall be borne by the selling shareholders pro-rata on the basis of the number of shares so registered.

 

SECTION 4.06.      Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Article IV:

 

(a)           To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Shareholder, its partners, members, officers, directors, shareholders, legal counsel, accountants, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) and each person, if any, who controls any Shareholder or any underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any Violation and the Company will pay each Shareholder and each underwriter, controlling person or other aforementioned person, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.07(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any Shareholder, or any such underwriter, controlling person or other aforementioned person.

 

(b)           To the extent permitted by law, each Shareholder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter, any other shareholder selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other shareholder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, against any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Shareholder, expressly for use in connection with such registration; and such Shareholder will pay any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.07(b), in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.07(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the

 

31



 

consent of such indemnifying Shareholder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, that, in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 4.07(b) exceed the net proceeds received by such indemnifying Shareholder from the offering to which such Violation relates.

 

(c)           Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 4.06 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 4.07, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.

 

(d)           In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) a Shareholder or any controlling person of a Shareholder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.07 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 4.07 provides for indemnification in such case or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of a Shareholder or any such controlling person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 4.07, then, and in each such case, the Company and such Shareholder will contribute to the aggregate Violation to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements, omissions or violations that resulted in such Violation, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case, no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; provided, further, that in no event shall a

 

32



 

Shareholder’s liability pursuant to this Section 4.07(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Shareholder pursuant to Section 4.07(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering (net of any underwriting discounts or commissions) received by such Shareholder.

 

(e)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions of such underwriting agreement shall control.

 

(f)            The obligations of the Company and Shareholders under this Section 4.07 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Article IV, and otherwise and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

SECTION 4.07.      Holdback Agreement. Unless the managing underwriter for any registration or offering otherwise agrees, each of the Company and each Shareholder agrees (and the Company agrees, in connection with any underwritten registration, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates to agree) not to effect any public sale or private offer or distribution of any Common Shares during the ten (10) Business Days prior to the effectiveness under the Securities Act of any underwritten registration and during such time period after the effectiveness under the Securities Act of any underwritten registration (not to exceed ninety (90) days in the case of any other public offering) (except, if applicable, as part of such underwritten registration) as the Company and the managing underwriter may agree. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.08 shall not apply unless all then executive officers and Directors of the Company and each holder of securities representing 10% or more of the outstanding securities of the Company, enter into similar agreements. Any discretionary waiver or termination of the requirements under the foregoing provisions made by the managing underwriter shall apply to each seller of Registrable Securities on a pro-rata basis in accordance with the number of Registrable Securities held by each seller.

 

SECTION 4.08.      Reports Under Exchange Act. With a view to making available the benefits of SEC Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit Shareholders to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:

 

(a)           furnish to each Shareholder, so long as such Shareholder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request  (i) a written statement by the Company as to whether it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or as to whether it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any

 

33



 

time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual, quarterly and current reports of the Company under the Exchange Act and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing such Shareholder of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.

 

SECTION 4.09.      Limitations on Other Registration Rights. Except for registration rights set forth herein, the Company represents and warrants that it has not granted to any Person the right to request or require the Company to register any securities issued by the Company. The Company shall not enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Shareholders in this Agreement or which materially impairs such rights or grant any additional registration rights to any Person or with respect to any securities which are prior in right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may grant registration rights which are (i) junior to or (ii) pari passu to and pro rata with the rights of the Shareholders, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the pro rata reduction of GE’s (and each other selling Shareholder’s) rights pursuant to Section 4.04(b) - - (f).

 

SECTION 4.10.      Seller Information. The Company may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish, and such seller shall furnish, to the Company such information regarding the distribution of such securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.

 

SECTION 4.11.      Notice to Discontinue.

 

(a)           The Company shall use its best efforts to notify each seller of Registrable Securities at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and the Company shall promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus and furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities a reasonable number of copies of such supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, after delivery to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

(b)           Each Shareholder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 4.12(a), such Shareholder shall forthwith discontinue disposition of

35



 

(b)           The obligations contained in Section 5.01(a) shall not apply, or shall cease to apply, to Confidential Information if or when, and to the extent that, such Confidential Information (i) was, or becomes through no breach of the receiving Person’s obligations hereunder, known to the public, (ii) was or becomes known to the receiving Shareholder or its Confidentiality Affiliates from other sources under circumstances not involving any breach of any confidentiality obligation between such source, on the one hand, and the disclosing Shareholder’s or discloser’s Confidentiality Affiliates or a third party, on the other hand, (iii) is independently developed by the receiving Shareholder or its Confidentiality Affiliates or (iv) is required to be disclosed by law, governmental regulation or applicable legal process (provided that such Person shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to resist such disclosure and notified the Company in advance of such compelled disclosure).

 

SECTION 5.02.      Conflicting Agreements. Each Shareholder represents and agrees that it shall not (i) grant any proxy or enter into or agree to be bound by any voting trust or agreement with respect to the Common Shares, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) enter into any agreement or arrangement of any kind with any Person with respect to its Common Shares, or exercise any rights it may have under Applicable Law in a manner that is, inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or for the purpose or with the effect of transferring or expanding its own rights, or circumventing the requirements imposed upon it, under this Agreement in a manner not permitted by this Agreement or denying or reducing the rights of any other Shareholder under this Agreement, including agreements or arrangements with respect to the Transfer or voting of its Common Shares or (iii) act, for any reason, as a member of a group or in concert with any other Person in connection with the Transfer or voting of its Common Shares in any manner that is inconsistent with this Agreement.

 

SECTION 5.03.      Corporate Opportunity. The provisions of this Section 5.03 regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Company as they may involve officers and Directors of the Company who are officers or directors of a Specified Shareholder, or an Affiliate of a Specified Shareholder, and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Company and its officers, Directors and Shareholders in connection therewith; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.03 (i) is intended to negate, limit or otherwise modify any other rights or obligations of any party hereto, including the obligations of GE and its Affiliates and Subsidiaries under Section 5.4 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, (ii) will limit the Company’s ability to enter into contractual arrangements with a Specified Shareholder, or an Affiliate of a Specified Shareholder, which arrangements restrict such Specified Shareholder or its Affiliate from engaging in activities otherwise allowed by this Section 5.03, and the following provisions shall be subject to any such contractual obligation of the Company or (iii) apply to, or limit the obligations of, any employee or officer of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

 

36



 

(a)           In the event that a Director or officer of the Company who is also a director or officer of a Specified Shareholder, or an Affiliate of a Specified Shareholder, acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a Corporate Opportunity for both the Company and such Specified Shareholder or its Affiliate, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, such Director or officer of the Company (i) shall be deemed to have fully satisfied and fulfilled the fiduciary duty of such Director or officer to the Company and its Shareholders with respect to such Corporate Opportunity, (ii) shall not be liable to the Company or its other Shareholders for breach of any fiduciary duty by reason of the fact that such Specified Shareholder or any of its Affiliates pursues or acquires such Corporate Opportunity for itself or directs such Corporate Opportunity to another person (including, without limitation, such Specified Shareholder or any of its Affiliates) or does not communicate information regarding such Corporate Opportunity to the Company, (iii) shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believes to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and (iv) shall be deemed not to have breached his or her duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders and not to have derived an improper benefit therefrom, if such Director or officer acts in a manner consistent with the following policy:

 

(i)            A Corporate Opportunity available to any person who is an officer of the Company (whether or not a Director), and who is also a director but not an officer of a Specified Shareholder, or an Affiliate of a Specified Shareholder, shall belong to the Company, unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person in writing solely in his or her capacity as a director of such Specified Shareholder or its Affiliate, in which case such Corporate Opportunity shall belong to such Specified Shareholder or its Affiliate;

 

(ii)           A Corporate Opportunity available to any person who is a Director but not an officer of the Company, and who is also an officer or employee (whether or not a director) of a Specified Shareholder, or an Affiliate of a Specified Shareholder, shall belong to the Company if such opportunity is expressly offered to such person in writing solely in his or her capacity as a Director of the Company, and otherwise shall belong to such Specified Shareholder or its Affiliate; and

 

(iii)          A Corporate Opportunity available to any person who is an officer (or employee) or director of both the Company and a Specified Shareholder, or an Affiliate of a Specified Shareholder, shall belong to the Company, if such opportunity is expressly offered to such person in writing solely in his or her capacity as an officer or director (or employee) of the Company, and otherwise shall belong to such Specified Shareholder or its Affiliate.

 

(b)           A Corporate Opportunity that belongs to a Specified Shareholder or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, or to the Company, on the other hand, pursuant to the foregoing policy shall not be pursued by the other, unless and until the party to whom the opportunity belongs determines not to pursue the

 

37



 

opportunity and so informs the other party. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, (i) if the party to whom the Corporate Opportunity belongs does not, within a reasonable period of time of receipt of notice of the Corporate Opportunity, begin to pursue, and thereafter continue to pursue, such opportunity diligently and in good faith, the other party may then pursue such Corporate Opportunity or direct it to another person, and (ii) if a Corporate Opportunity that belongs to a Specified Shareholder was developed or otherwise made available independently to the Company, the Company may pursue such Corporate Opportunity, and such pursuit shall not violate this Agreement.

 

(c)           For purposes of this Section 5.03 only, a Director of the Company who is Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board of the Company shall not be deemed to be an officer of the Company by reason of holding such position (without regard to whether such position is deemed an officer of the Company under the Charter of the Company), unless such person is a full-time employee of the Company.

 

SECTION 5.04.      Financial and Other Information.

 

(a)           Financial Information. The Company agrees that, so long as GE is accounting for its investment in Common Shares under the equity method (in accordance with GAAP) for any fiscal quarter, the Company shall deliver to GE such financial information as is reasonably required by GE to continue to use the equity method to account for such investment, provided, however, that any such information shall (i) be in the format reasonably agreed by the Company from time to time, (ii) not contain any information that the Company deems to be material, non-public information and (iii) only relate to fiscal periods for which the Company has already publicly filed a report on Form 10-Q or 10-K under the Exchange Act.

 

(b)           Additional Information. The Company agrees that, so long as GE is accounting for its investment in Common Shares under the equity method (in accordance with GAAP) in any fiscal year, then in respect of such fiscal year:

 

(i)            Fiscal Year. The Company shall, and shall cause each of its consolidated subsidiaries to, maintain a fiscal year which commences on January 1 and ends on December 31 of each calendar year, except as may be otherwise required by applicable law.

 

(c)           Tax Matters. The Company agrees to provide, or cause to be provided, to GE, WB and GICo, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefor, any information in the possession or under the control of the Company which GE, WB or GICo, as the case may be, reasonably needs (i) to comply with reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements imposed on GE, WB or GICo, as the case may be, under applicable tax laws or (ii) for use in any tax or other proceeding or in order to satisfy audit, accounting, claims, regulatory, litigation, tax or other similar requirements, in each case with respect to any taxable

 

38



 

period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the date of the Qualified Initial Public Offering. The Company agrees to notify GE in the event that the Company becomes a passive foreign investment company for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.

EXECUTION COPY

INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

This Indemnification Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of ____________, 2007, by and between Genpact Limited, an exempted limited company organized under the laws of Bermuda (“Company”) and ____________________ (“Indemnitee”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve publicly-held corporations as directors or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance and/or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of such corporations;

WHEREAS, the Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association (the “Charter”) and Amended and Restated Bye-laws (the “Bye-laws”) of the Company provide for indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company, and Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the Companies Act 1981 (Bermuda) as amended (“BCA”);

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that, in order to attract and retain qualified individuals, the Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect persons serving the Company and its subsidiaries from certain liabilities;

WHEREAS, the uncertainties relating to such insurance and to indemnification have increased the difficulty of attracting and retaining such persons;

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future;

WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent, necessary and in the best interests of the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified;

WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Charter and Bye-Laws of the Company and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto and any liability insurance, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder;

WHEREAS, Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the Company’s Charter, Bye-Laws and insurance as adequate in the present circumstances, and may not be willing to serve as an officer or director without adequate protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve in such capacity, Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that he be so indemnified;

 



NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

1.             Services to the Company.  Indemnitee will serve or continue to serve, at the will of the Company, as an officer, director or key employee of the Company for so long as Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or until Indemnitee tenders his resignation or is otherwise removed as an officer, director or key employee; however, this Agreement shall not impose any obligation on Indemnitee or the Company to continue Indemnitee’s service to the Company beyond any period otherwise required by law or by other agreements or commitments of the parties, if any.

2.             Definitions.  As used in this Agreement

(a)  “Change of Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events, not including any events occurring prior to or in connection with the initial public offering of shares (including the occurrence of such initial public offering):

(i)                           during any period of 24 consecutive months, individuals who were members of the board of directors at the beginning of such period (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease at any time during such period for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the board of directors; provided, however, that (A) any individual becoming a director subsequent to the beginning of such period whose appointment or election, or nomination for election, by the Company’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors shall be considered as though such individual were an Incumbent Director, but excluding, for purposes of this proviso, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs pursuant to an actual or threatened proxy contest with respect to election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any “person” (as such term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), other than the board of directors or any Specified Shareholder and (B) any individual becoming a director subsequent to the beginning of such period whose appointment or election, or nomination for election, was made by any of the Specified Shareholders shall be considered as though such individual were an Incumbent Director;

(ii)                        the consummation of (A) an amalgamation, consolidation, statutory share exchange, reorganization, recapitalization, tender offer or similar form of corporate transaction involving (x) the Company or (y) any of its subsidiaries, but in the case of this clause (y) only if Company Voting Securities (as defined below) are issued or issuable in connection with such transaction (each of the transactions referred to in this clause (A), being hereinafter referred to as a “Reorganization”) or (B) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Company (a “Sale”), unless, immediately following such

                                      Reorganization or Sale, (1) all or substantially all the individuals and entities who were the “beneficial owners” (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act (or a successor rule thereto))  of the Company’s common shares or other securities eligible to vote for the election of the board of directors outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such Reorganization or Sale (such securities, the “Company Voting Securities”) beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the corporation or other entity resulting from such Reorganization or Sale (including a corporation or other entity that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Company or all or substantially all the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) (the “Continuing Entity”) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to the consummation of such Reorganization or Sale, of the outstanding Company Voting Securities (excluding any outstanding voting securities of the Continuing Entity that such beneficial owners hold immediately following the consummation of such Reorganization or Sale as a result of their ownership prior to such consummation of voting securities of any corporation or other entity involved in or forming part of such Reorganization or Sale other than the Company or a subsidiary), (2) no Person (excluding (X) any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Continuing Entity or any corporation or other entity controlled by the Continuing Entity and (Y) any Specified Shareholder) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Continuing Entity and (3) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors or other governing body of the Continuing Entity were Incumbent Directors at the time of the execution of the definitive agreement providing for such Reorganization or Sale or, in the absence of such an agreement, at the time at which approval of the board of directors was obtained for such Reorganization or Sale;

(iii)                     the shareholders of the Company approve a voluntary plan of liquidation, winding up or dissolution of the Company, unless such liquidation, winding up  or dissolution is part of a transaction or series of transactions described in paragraph (ii) above that does not otherwise constitute a Change of Control;  or

(iv)                    any Person, corporation or other entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) other than any Specified Shareholder becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing a percentage of the combined voting power of the Company Voting Securities that is equal to or greater than 25%; provided, however, that for purposes of this subparagraph (iv) (and not for purposes of subparagraphs (i) through (iii) above), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of

(c)  “Corporate Status” describes the status of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee, agent, trustee or fiduciary of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such person is or was serving at the request of the Company.

(d)  “Disinterested Director” means a director of the Company who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by Indemnitee.

(e)  “Enterprise” means the Company and any other company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent, trustee or fiduciary.

(f)  “Expenses” means all retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, private investigators, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, fax transmission charges, secretarial services, delivery service fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and all other disbursements or expenses of the types customarily and properly incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, being or preparing to be a witness in, or otherwise participating in, a Proceeding or in connection with seeking indemnification under this Agreement.  Expenses also shall include Expenses incurred in connection with any appeal resulting from any Proceeding, including without limitation the premium, security for, and other costs relating to any cost bond, supersedeas bond, or other appeal

(m)  For purposes of Sections 3 and 4, the meaning of the phrase “to the fullest extent permitted by law” shall include, but not be limited to:

A.                                   to the fullest extent permitted by the BCA, and

B.                                     to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by any amendments to or replacements of the BCA adopted after the date of this Agreement that increase the extent to which a corporation may indemnify its officers, directors, employees, agents, trustees, fiduciaries and other persons acting or serving at the Company’s request.

3.             Indemnity in Third-Party Proceedings.  The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 if Indemnitee was or is, or was or is threatened to be made, a party to or a witness or participant in any Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor.  Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses and Losses to the fullest extent permitted by law.

4.             Indemnity in Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company.  The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 if Indemnitee was or is, or was or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor.  Pursuant to this Section 4, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses and Losses actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by him or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein to the fullest extent permitted by law.  No indemnification for Expenses or Losses shall be made under this Section 4 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged by a court to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that a court of appropriate jurisdiction shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the relevant circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, but any such indemnification shall be limited to Expenses.

5.             Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee was or is a party to (or a participant in) and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, in whole or in part, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.  If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful,

 

 

6



on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter and any claim, issue or matter related to any claim, issue, or matter on which Indemnitee was successful.  For purposes of this Section and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

6.             Indemnification For Expenses of a Witness.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, he shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith.

7.             Exclusions.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnity in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee:

(a)  for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision; or

(b)  for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law; or

(c)  in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee prior to a Change of Control against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board of the Company authorized the Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation, or (ii) the Company provides indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law.

8.             Advances of Expenses.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall advance the Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding for which indemnification is or may be available pursuant to this Agreement within 20 days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of any Proceeding.  Advances shall be unsecured and interest free.  Advances shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and without requiring a preliminary determination of Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement.  Advances shall include any and all Expenses incurred pursuing an action to enforce this right of advancement, including Expenses incurred preparing and forwarding statements to the Company to support the advances claimed.  Indemnitee shall qualify for advances solely upon the execution and delivery to the Company of (a) a written affirmation by Indemnitee of Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company as authorized by law and by this Agreement has been met and (b) a written

 

 

7



undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay any Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such standard of conduct has not been met.

9.             Selection of Counsel.  In the event the Company is obligated under Section 8 hereof to pay, and pays the Expenses of any Proceeding against Indemnitee, the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding, with counsel approved by Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election so to do.  After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding, provided that (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his counsel in any such Proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense; and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense or (C) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel approved by Indemnitee to assume the defense of such Proceeding, then the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company.

10.           Procedure for Notification and Defense of Claim.

(a)  Indemnitee shall, as a condition precedent to his right to be indemnified under this Agreement, give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any claim made against Indemmitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement; provided, however, that a delay in giving such notice shall not deprive Indemnitee of any right to be indemnified under this Agreement unless, and then only to the extent that, such delay is materially prejudicial to the defense of such claim.  The omission to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability for indemnification which it may have to Indemnitee otherwise under this Agreement.  The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.

(b)  The Company will be entitled to participate in any Proceeding at its own expense.

11.           Procedure Upon Application for Indemnification.

(a)  Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 10(a), a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case: (i) if a Change of Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; or (ii) if a Change of Control shall not have occurred, (A) by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors, (B) if such a quorum cannot be obtained then by a majority vote of a committee of the Board consisting solely of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Board in which directors who are parties to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought may participate, (C) if a quorum of the Board

 

 

8



consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable, and if a majority vote of a committee of the Board consisting solely of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable such quorum of Disinterested Directors, or such committee, by a majority vote so directs, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee or (D) if so directed by a majority of the members of the Board, by the stockholders of the Company; and, if it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination.  Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination.  Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

(b)  In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 11(b).  If a Change of Control shall not have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board or a committee of the Board consisting solely of Disinterested Directors, by the vote required by applicable law for the selection of Independent Counsel, and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected.  If a Change of Control shall have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board, in which event the preceding sentence shall apply), subject to approval by the Board, or a committee thereof consisting solely of Disinterested Directors, by the vote required by applicable law for the selection of Independent Counsel, and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected.  Any such approval by the Board or a committee thereof consisting solely of Disinterested Directors, will not be unreasonably withheld and by such approval the Board or committee shall be deemed to have joined in such selection.  In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within ten (10) days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis for such assertion.  Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected (and, if a Change of Control shall have occurred, approved by the Board or a committee thereof consisting solely of Disinterested Directors) shall act as Independent Counsel.  If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit.  If, within twenty (20) days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to

 

 

9



Section 10(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected (and, if a Change of Control shall have occurred, approved by the Board or a committee thereof consisting solely of Disinterested Directors) and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any failure by the Board or a committee thereof to approve Indemnitee’s selection of Independent Counsel after a Change of Control shall have occurred, or any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all failures to approve and objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 11(a) hereof.  Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 13(a) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).

12.           Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.

(a)  In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption.  Neither the failure of the Company (including by its directors or independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including by its directors or independent legal counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(b)  If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 11 of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 12(b) shall not apply if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement.

 

 

10



(c)  Termination.  The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct required under applicable law for indemnification.

(d)  Actions of Others.  The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent, trustee, fiduciary or employee of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.

13.           Remedies of Indemnitee.

(a)  In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, or (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 3, 4, 5, 6 or the last sentence of Section 11(a) of this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or, if a determination is required by law, within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication (or, in the case of clause (i), to seek an adjudication) in an appropriate court of the State of New York or in any other court of competent jurisdiction of his entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses; provided, that nothing contained in this Section 13 shall be deemed to limit Indemnitee’s rights under Section 12(b).  Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his option, may seek an award in binding arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.  The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.

(b)  In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial or arbitration on the merits, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination.  In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 the Company shall have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be.

(c)  If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

(d)  The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.  The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses, and if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within twenty (20) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefore) advance such expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advance of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement, under the Company’s Charter and Bye-Laws as in effect from time to time or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of Expenses or insurance recovery, as the case may be.

14.           Non-exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Subrogation.

(a)  The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Charter, Bye-Laws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise.  No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereto shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal.  To the extent that a change in Bermuda law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Charter, Bye-Laws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change.  No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.

(b)  The Company shall, from time to time, make the good faith determination whether or not it is practicable for the Company to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies providing the directors, officers, employees, trustees, fiduciaries and agents of the Company with coverage for losses from wrongful acts, or to ensure the Company’s performance of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement.  Among other considerations, the Company will weigh the costs of obtaining such insurance coverage against the protection afforded by such coverage.  To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, trustees, fiduciaries and agents of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such person serves at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage

available for any such director, officer, employee, trustee, fiduciary or agent under such policy or policies.  If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies.  The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

(c)  In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against other persons or entities, and Indemnitee shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

(d)  The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable (or for which advancement is provided hereunder) hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

(e)  The Company’s obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, trustee, fiduciary or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.

15.           Settlement.

(a)  The Company shall have no obligation to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding by Indemnitee effected without the Company’s prior written consent.

(b)  The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, consent to the entry of any judgment against Indemnitee or enter into any settlement or compromise which (i) includes an admission of fault of Indemnitee, any non-monetary remedy affecting or obligation of Indemnitee, or monetary Loss for which Indemnitee is not indemnified hereunder or (ii) with respect to any Proceeding with respect to which Indemnitee may be or is made a party, witness or participant or may be or is otherwise entitled to seek indemnification hereunder, does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the full release of Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Proceeding, which release shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee.

(c)  Neither the Company nor Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed settlement.
