News Summary
Galaxy Germany Holding SE (the “Bidder”), a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Persistent
Systems Limited (together “Persistent”), today announced a voluntary public takeover offer for
all outstanding shares in Nagarro SE (“Nagarro”) (the “Offer”) at a cash consideration of EUR 81
per share (the “Offer Price”). The Offer follows the signing of a Business Combination Agreement
(“BCA“) between the Bidder, Persistent and Nagarro. Nagarro’s Management and Supervisory
Board support the transaction and intend to recommend acceptance of the Offer to Nagarro
shareholders, subject to their review of the offer document.
The Bidder has also entered into a fully binding share purchase agreement with Lantano
Beteiligungen GmbH (“Lantano“), the investment vehicle of the largest shareholder of Nagarro,
under which Lantano has agreed to sell its entire approximately 21% stake in Nagarro (excluding

on the date hereof and is subject to customary regulatory approvals.
In addition, members of Nagarro’s Management Board have declared their intention to accept the

The proposed combination is designed to create a scaled, globally diversified AI-led digital
engineering and enterprise modernization powerhouse with at-scale presence in North America
and Europe and meaningful Rest of the World exposure. The combined Persistent – Nagarro
group would be better positioned to support multi-region enterprise clients requiring integrated AI,
engineering, ERP / CX, data and cloud capabilities across local and global delivery models.
Quote from Dr. Anand Deshpande, Founder, Chairman and Managing Director, Persistent Systems
"At Persistent, we have always believed that great companies are built over decades, not
quarters. They are built by talented people, a strong engineering culture, a willingness to innovate,
and by earning clients' trust every single day. Those principles have guided us since 1990. When
we got to know Nagarro, what stood out was not just the quality of their business, but the similarity
of their values. We saw the same respect for engineering, the same entrepreneurial spirit, and
the same commitment to building lasting client relationships. That shared foundation gives us
confidence that together we can create something even stronger. AI is reshaping our industry at
an unprecedented pace. Success will belong to companies that combine deep technical capability
with global reach, while continuing to attract, develop and inspire exceptional people. Together,
Persistent and Nagarro will be better positioned to help our clients navigate this new era, create
greater opportunities for our teams, and build an organisation that will endure for many years to
come."

AI-DNA. It’s a moment of great opportunity, but it also needs scale and power to make the most
of it. With the combined strengths of Persistent and Nagarro, we’ll be able to deliver the complex
