WNS signs Letter of Intent to Acquire Marketics Technologies

Mumbai, March 7, 2007 – WNS (Holdings) Limited (NYSE: WNS), a leading provider of offshore business process outsourcing (BPO) services, announced today a non-binding letter of intent to acquire Marketics Technologies, a privately-owned leader in offshore analytics services, for a total enterprise value of approximately $65 million in cash.

If completed, the acquisition is expected to enhance WNS’ Knowledge Services business, which provides market research, business & financial research and analytics services. Knowledge Services works with clients across the company’s industry specializations in travel, banking, financial services and insurance and allows WNS to expand in emerging industries like consumer goods, media & entertainment, retail and professional services.

“Marketics, in a very short time, has built a world class company focused on offshore analytics. This acquisition, when completed, will enhance our Knowledge Services leadership, help us penetrate new consumer-centric industries, and move us further up the value chain in our service offering,” said Neeraj Bhargava, WNS Group chief executive officer.

WNS expects to acquire Marketics for up to $65 million, including a $30 million payment at the time of the closing and an earn-out of up to $35 million over a 12-month period. WNS expects to finance the transaction primarily through existing cash and cash equivalents. If completed, WNS will gain approximately 200 Marketics employees, including 170 in Bangalore, India and 30 in Coimbatore, India.

“After four years of significant growth and establishment of our leadership position in offshore analytics, we are ready for bigger things. WNS provides us the best platform to accelerate our growth and achieve our goal of creating innovative and market leading analytic solutions. The cultural fit with WNS is excellent and their financial strength, customer access, infrastructure and recruiting capabilities will be a tremendous boost for our business,” said Sreenivasan Ramakrishnan, co-founder and chief executive officer of Marketics Technologies.

The acquisition is subject to due diligence and execution of definitive documentation (with customary closing conditions, such as regulatory approvals) and is expected to be closed within the next 90 days. No assurance can be given that definitive documents will be executed or that the acquisition will be completed.
