and certain value at a highly attractive premium of ~140% to the closing price on June 25, 2026,
the last trading day prior to the announcement of the transaction. Compared to the three-month
volume-weighted average price (VWAP) as of that date, the offer price represents a premium of
~93%. The acceptance period will end at midnight (CEST) on September 17, 2026. The

Quote from Dr. Anand Deshpande, Founder, Chairman and Managing Director, Persistent Systems
Limited
"Officially launching the Offer marks an important moment in bringing Persistent and Nagarro
together. When we first engaged with Nagarro, what gave us conviction was not only the strength
of their business but the values underpinning it – the same respect for engineering craft, the same
care for clients, and the same long-term mindset that has always guided Persistent. Building
enduring companies takes patience, talent and shared purpose. Nagarro brings all of that, and
we are confident that what we create together will be greater than either company could achieve
alone."
Quote from Sandeep Kalra, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director, Persistent Systems Limited
“Persistent and Nagarro bring highly complementary strengths across digital engineering, AI,
cloud, industry expertise and global talent. By combining these capabilities, we believe we can
build one of the world's leading AI-led digital engineering companies and create greater long-term
value for clients, employees and shareholders alike. Our offer gives Nagarro shareholders the
opportunity to participate in that value creation immediately and with certainty, at a price that
reflects our strong conviction in what Persistent and Nagarro can achieve together.”
Persistent and Nagarro share the conviction that leading the next decade of AI-led digital
engineering requires capabilities and local presence of a different order than either standalone
company delivers. The proposed combination would 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 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.
Full support from Nagarro’s Management and Supervisory Board
The Boards of both companies share a conviction about the merits of the combination. Nagarro's
Management Board and Supervisory Board welcome the transaction and plan to recommend in
their response statement that shareholders accept the Offer, subject to their fiduciary duties and
their review of the Offer document. Members of the Nagarro Management Board have also
declared their intention to accept the Offer.
This conviction extends to the opportunities the combination creates for employees as it would
create a larger, more diversified platform with enhanced growth prospects benefiting employees
on both sides. The Business Combination Agreement (“BCA”) between Persistent and Nagarro

reflects the shared understanding of a joint future: it includes commitments to employee matters,
operations and management including the preservation of existing terms and conditions of
employment.
Next steps for shareholders
Shareholders will now receive a notification from their custodian bank or securities service
provider with technical instructions on how to accept the Offer. For shares held in a German
custodian account, the tender process is generally free of costs and expenses. Shall they want to
tender, shareholders are encouraged to act early.
Minimum acceptance threshold of 50% plus one share
The Offer will only be completed if a minimum acceptance threshold of 50 percent plus one share
of all outstanding Nagarro shares is reached. The approximately 22% stake (excluding treasury
shares) that the Bidder has already secured under a fully binding share purchase agreement with
Lantano Beteiligungen GmbH (“Lantano”), the investment vehicle of Nagarro’s largest
shareholder, will be counted towards this threshold. The threshold also includes the shares
intended to be tendered by members of Nagarro’s Management Board.
Persistent does not intend to enter into a domination and/or profit and loss transfer agreement
(DPLTA) for a duration of two years after closing of the Offer.
Persistent shareholders approved the proposed acquisition of Nagarro through t
