Disclaimer and forward-looking statements
This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell Nagarro
shares. The final terms of the Offer as well as other provisions relating to the Offer are set out
solely in the offer document authorized for publication by the German Federal Financial
Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht). Investors and holders of
Nagarro shares are strongly advised to read the offer document and all other documents relating
to the Offer, as they contain important information. The offer document for the Offer (in German
and a non-binding English translation) with the detailed terms and conditions and other
information on the Offer is published amongst other information on the internet at www.galaxy-
offer.com.
The Offer will be implemented exclusively on the basis of the applicable provisions of German
law, in particular the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act (Wertpapiererwerbs- und
Übernahmegesetz - WpÜG), and certain securities law provisions of the United States of America
relating to cross-border takeover offers. The Offer will not be conducted in accordance with the
legal requirements of jurisdictions other than the Federal Republic of Germany or the United
States of America (as applicable). Accordingly, no notices, filings, approvals or authorizations for
the Offer have been filed, caused to be filed or granted outside the Federal Republic of Germany
or the United States of America (as applicable). Investors and holders of Nagarro shares cannot
rely on being protected by the investor protection laws of any jurisdiction other than the Federal
Republic of Germany or the United States of America (as applicable). Subject to the exceptions
described in the offer document and, where applicable, any exemptions to be granted by the
respective regulatory authorities, no takeover offer will be made, directly or indirectly, in those
jurisdictions in which this would constitute a violation of applicable law. This press release may
not be released or otherwise distributed in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction in which the Offer
would be prohibited by applicable law.
The Bidder reserves the right, to the extent permitted by law, to directly or indirectly acquire
additional Nagarro shares outside the Offer on or off the stock exchange, provided that such
acquisitions or arrangements to acquire are not made in the United States, will comply with the
applicable German statutory provisions, in particular the WpÜG, and the offer price is increased
in accordance with the WpÜG, to match any consideration paid outside of the Offer if higher than
the offer price. If such acquisitions take place, information on such acquisitions, including the
number of Nagarro shares acquired or to be acquired and the consideration paid or agreed, will

is subject to the disclosure requirements, rules and practices applicable to companies listed in
the Federal Republic of Germany, which differ from those of the United States and other
jurisdictions in certain material respects. The financial information relating to the Bidder and
Nagarro included elsewhere, including in the offer document, are prepared in accordance with
