Except as expressly set forth herein, there have been no changes to the information set forth in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth below:

The source of funds used to acquire Shares by Venturbay (including the funds anticipated to be used to acquire Shares in the Open Public Offer (as defined in Item 4 below)) was from internal resources, optionally convertible domestic debt, equity by Tech Mahindra in Venturbay and debt extended by Tech Mahindra to Venturbay. The total consideration used to purchase the Shares in the Initial Allotment (as defined in Item 4 below) was Rs. 17,56,03,30,966 (approximately US$351 million based on an exchange rate of Rs. 50 to US$1). In connection with Venturbay’s anticipated acquisition of Shares in the Initial Allotment and Open Public Offer, (1) Tech Mahindra has infused funds in Venturbay by using cash on hand, which includes funds that Tech Mahindra previously had available to it for general corporate purposes such as capital expenditures and working capital needs, and (2) Venturbay raised capital through the issuance of optionally convertible debentures (as described in more detail in the next sentence). In connection with its acquisition of the Shares, Venturbay has issued optionally convertible debentures to various institutional investors for an aggregate consideration of Rs. 550 Crores (approximately US$110 million based on the above-stated exchange rate) in the aggregate, at an effective interest rate of approximately 15%, which indebtedness matures over a period of three years or may be converted into equity at the end of three years. It is anticipated that this indebtedness will be paid from proceeds from operations and/or future capital raising transactions.

Separately, Tech Mahindra has borrowed Rs. 1450 Crores (approximately US$290 million based on the above-stated exchange rate) from various banks, mutual funds, institutions & non banking financial institutions at an effective interest rate of approximately 10%, which indebtedness matures over a period of one to five years. This indebtedness has been incurred in connection with Tech Mahindra’s anticipated need for increased working capital & capital expenditures in the coming years. It is anticipated that this indebtedness also will be paid from proceeds from operations and/or future capital raising transactions.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth below:

The Reporting Persons are acquiring the Shares as part of a strategic investment in the information technology, consulting and business outsourcing businesses of the Issuer.

The Issuer undertook a competitive bidding process (the “Competitive Bidding Process”) for the purpose of selecting a strategic investor for the Issuer. The Issuer commenced the Competitive Bidding Process on March 9, 2009 and selected the Reporting Persons as the highest bidder on April 13, 2009. On that date, the Issuer and the Reporting Persons entered into a share subscription agreement (the “Share Subscription Agreement”), which provides for the following transactions:

•    Under the Share Subscription Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the Issuer issued new Shares to the Reporting Persons (the “Initial Allotment”) in an amount equal to 31% of the


Enhanced Share Capital3 at 58 Indian Rupees per Share (the “Purchase Price”). The Reporting Persons deposited the funds necessary to consummate the Initial Allotment and the Open Public Offer (as defined herein) in separate escrow accounts on April 20, 2009 and the Initial Allotment was completed on May 5, 2009;

•    Subject to the terms and conditions of the Share Subscription Agreement, the Reporting Persons shall make a cash tender offer (the “Open Public Offer”) to the holders of the Shares to acquire, at the Purchase Price or a price higher than the Purchase Price, a minimum of 20% of the Enhanced Share Capital; and

•    If, upon the closing of the Open Public Offer, the Reporting Persons have acquired less than 51% of the Enhanced Share Capital through the Initial Allotment and the Open Public Offer, then following the Open Public Offer, the Reporting Persons may elect, at their option, to subscribe for additional Shares at the Purchase Price (the “Subsequent Allotment”) in accordance with the Share Subscription Agreement.

As part of the Competitive Bidding Process, the Reporting Persons entered into separate standstill agreements with the Issuer, each dated March 24, 2009 (collectively, the “Standstill Agreements”), with respect to future acquisition, disposition or transfer of securities of the Issuer. Pursuant to the Standstill Agreements, the Reporting Persons are prohibited from tendering their Shares in the Open Public Offer. The Standstill Agreements terminate six months from the date of Public Announcement (as defined below).

Pursuant to the terms of the Share Subscription Agreement, Venturbay agreed to (i) maintain the listing of the American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) on the New York Stock Exchange, (ii) maintain the registration of the Shares and ADSs pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and ensure that the Shares and ADSs will not become eligible for termination of registration under the Exchange Act and (iii) not take any action in respect of the Shares and ADSs that would result in the applicability of the “going private transaction” rules of the Section 13(e) of the Exchange Act, in each case, for a period of one year after the closing of the Open Public Offer. Under the Share Subscription Agreement, Venturbay agreed that the Shares acquired in the Initial Allotment, the Open Public Offer or the Subsequent Allotment would be locked in for a period of three years from the date of acquisition of such Shares in the manner provided in the Securities Exchange Board of India DIP Guidelines. Under the Share Subscription Agreement, Venturbay agreed not to sell or dispose of any material assets or undertaking of the Issuer for a period of two years from the date of completion of the Open Public Offer without the required consent specified in the Share Subscription Agreement. Under the Share Subscription Agreement, Venturbay agreed not to discontinue the main business of the Issuer or cause the Issuer to undertake any new business which is unrelated or not complementary to the existing business of the Issuer without the prior approval of the shareholders of the Issuer for so long as the Company Petition of 2009 remains pending.

The foregoing summary of the Share Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Initial Allotment, the Open Public Offer, and the Subsequent Allotment is not complete and is subject in its entirety to the Share Subscription Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and the Public Announcement to the Shareholders of Satyam Computer Services Limited, dated April 22, 2009 (the “Public Announcement”), which is filed as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and incorporated by reference.

 

3 The term “Enhanced Share Capital” as used in this Schedule 13D means, with respect to the Initial Allotment, the Issuer’s share capital (excluding any instruments convertible into the Company’s share capital), after giving effect to the Shares issued in such Initial Allotment. With respect to the Open Public Offer (as defined herein), the term “Enhanced Share Capital” includes the Shares (including any instruments convertible into the Issuer’s share capital as provided by the Securities Exchange Board of India (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 1997) issued in the Initial Allotment. With respect to the Subsequent Allotment (as defined herein), if any, the term “Enhanced Share Capital” includes the Shares (including any instruments convertible into the Issuer’s share capital, on a fully diluted basis) issued in such Subsequent Allotment.


On May 22, 2009, Venturbay nominated four individuals to join the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”): Mr. Vineet Nayyar, Mr. C.P. Gurnani, Mr. Sanjay Kalra, and Mr. Ulhas Yargop. Such appointments to the Board became effective on May 27, 2009, bringing the total number of directors on the Board to ten.

On June 8, 2009, the Reporting Persons filed with the Commission a tender offer statement on Schedule TO relating to the making of the Open Public Offer. Also on June 8, the Reporting Persons began mailing the Letter of Offer in connection with the Open Public Offer.
