PROXY STATEMENT
EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
To be Held on November 22, 2011
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors
(the Board or the Board of Directors) of WNS (Holdings) Limited, a company incorporated in
Jersey, Channel Islands (the Company or WNS), of proxies for voting at the Companys
Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (the Extraordinary General Meeting) to be held on
Tuesday, November 22, 2011, at 11.00 a.m (Jersey time), at the registered office of the Company
located at Queensway House, Hilgrove Street, St Helier, Jersey JE1 1ES, Channel Islands, or any
adjournments thereof, for the purposes summarized in the accompanying Notice of Extraordinary
General Meeting and described in more detail in this Proxy Statement.
Shareholders Entitled to Notice of and to Vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting
The Board has fixed the close of business on October 18, 2011 as the date for determining those
holders of ordinary shares (collectively, the Shareholders) who will be entitled to notice of and
to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Copies of the Notice of Extraordinary General
Meeting, this Proxy Statement, and the accompanying Form of Proxy appointing a proxy or proxies,
were first mailed to Shareholders on or about October 21, 2011. Shareholders are advised to read
this Proxy Statement carefully prior to returning their Form of Proxy.
A Shareholder is a person whose name appears on our Register of Members as a holder of our ordinary
shares.
At the close of business on September 30, 2011, there were 44,603,519 ordinary shares issued and
outstanding.
Quorum
No business may be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum of Shareholders entitled to
vote at the meeting is present. Pursuant to the Articles of Association of the Company, the quorum
for the holding of general meetings is not less than two Shareholders present in person or by proxy
holding ordinary shares conferring not less than one-third of the total voting rights. If a quorum
is not present, the Extraordinary General Meeting will be
adjourned to 11.00 am (Jersey time) on November 29, 2011 at Queensway House, Hilgrove Street, St
Helier, Jersey JE1 1ES, Channel Islands.
Proxies
To be valid, the instrument appointing a proxy or proxies, and any power of attorney or other
authority (e.g. board minutes) under which it is signed (or a notarized copy of any such power or
authority), must be deposited at the registered office of the Company (c/o Computershare Company
Secretarial Services (Jersey) Limited at Queensway House, Hilgrove Street, St Helier, Jersey JE1
1ES, Channel Islands (attention: Sheena Toudic)) not less than 48 hours before the time appointed
for the holding of the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof or for the taking
of a poll at which the proxy proposes to vote. A proxy need not be a Shareholder. Shareholders may
appoint any member of the Board or any other person as their proxy. The appointment of a proxy will
not prevent a Shareholder from subsequently attending and voting at the meeting in person.
A Shareholder may appoint more than one person to act as his proxy and each such person shall act
as proxy for the Shareholder for the number of ordinary shares specified in the instrument
appointing the person as proxy. If a Shareholder appoints more than one person to act as his proxy,
each instrument appointing a proxy shall specify the number of ordinary shares held by the
Shareholder for which the relevant person is appointed his proxy. Each duly appointed proxy has the
same rights as the Shareholder by whom he was appointed to speak at a meeting and vote at a meeting
in respect of the number of ordinary shares held by the Shareholder for which he was appointed as
proxy.
A proxy may be revoked by: (i) giving the Company notice in writing deposited at the Companys
Registered office (c/o Computershare Company Secretarial Services (Jersey) Limited at Queensway
House, Hilgrove Street, St Helier, Jersey JE1 1ES, Channel Islands (attention: Sheena Toudic))
before the commencement of the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof or for the
taking of a poll at which the proxy proposes to vote; (ii) depositing a new Form of Proxy with the
Company Secretary before the commencement of the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment
thereof or for the taking of a poll at which the proxy proposes to vote (although it should be
noted that the new Form of Proxy will only be a valid proxy, as opposed to being capable of
revoking an earlier Form of Proxy, if deposited not less than 48 hours before the time appointed
for the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof or for the taking of a poll at
which the proxy proposes to vote); or (iii) the shareholder attending in person and voting on a
poll. No instrument appointing a proxy shall be revoked by the appointing Shareholder attending and
participating in a meeting, unless the appointing Shareholder votes on a poll at the meeting in
respect of the ordinary shares for which the relevant proxy is appointed his proxy.
2
Voting
On a show of hands, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy shall have one vote and on a
poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for each ordinary
share held or represented. On a poll, a Shareholder entitled to more than one vote need not use
all his votes or cast all the votes he uses in the same way. A resolution put to the vote of
Shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting will be decided on a show of hands unless a poll
is demanded by the Chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting or a Shareholder present in person
or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. In the case of joint
holders only one of them may vote and in the absence of election as to who is to vote, the vote of
the holder whose name appears first in order in the Register of Members, whether in person or by
proxy will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders.
Ordinary shares represented by a duly executed instrument appointing a proxy or proxies that is
deposited with the Company at its registered office (at least 48 hours before the time appointed
for the Extraordinary General Meeting) will be voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting in
accordance with Shareholders instructions contained in such instrument.
The resolution is proposed as a special resolution. On a show of hands, the special resolution to
be proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting will be duly passed by the affirmative vote of a
majority of not less than two thirds of Shareholders present in person or by proxy and voting at
the Extraordinary General Meeting. If a poll is demanded in the manner described above, the
special resolution to be proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting for which voting by poll is
demanded will be duly passed by the affirmative vote of a majority of not less than two thirds of
votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting for each ordinary share held or represented, with
each Shareholder present in person or by proxy having one vote for each ordinary share held or
represented. In the event of an equality of votes, whether upon a show of hands or on a poll, the
Chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote.
Cost of Soliciting Proxies
The entire cost of the solicitation of proxies for the Extraordinary General Meeting will be borne
by WNS.
In this Proxy Statement, references to £ and pence refer to the currency of the United Kingdom.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
At the Extraordinary General Meeting, Shareholders will be requested to vote on the proposal to
increase the authorised share capital of the Company.
3
PROPOSAL
THAT the authorised share capital of the Company be and hereby is increased from £5,100,000,
divided into 50,000,000 ordinary shares of 10 pence each and 1,000,000 preferred shares of 10
pence each, to £6,100,000, divided into 60,000,000 ordinary shares of 10 pence each and 1,000,000
preferred shares of 10 pence each, by the creation of 10,000,000 additional ordinary shares of 10
pence each and that the Companys memorandum of association be amended accordingly.
General
Currently, the Companys authorized share capital is £5,100,000 divided into 50,000,000 ordinary
shares of 10 pence each and 1,000,000 preferred shares of 10 pence each. As at September 30, 2011,
the issued share capital of the Company is £4,460,351.90 divided into 44,603,519 ordinary shares of
10 pence each, with a share capital of £639,648.1 remaining unissued. We are therefore proposing
that the Companys authorized share capital be increased to £6,100,000.
The proposed increase in the Companys authorized share capital would benefit the Company in
numerous ways, enabling the Board of Directors to cater to the funding needs of the business by
issuing additional ordinary shares to take advantage of market opportunities.
Unless otherwise required by applicable law or regulation, all authorized but unissued ordinary
shares will be issuable, without any further authorization by the Shareholders, on the terms and
for such consideration as our Board of Directors may determine. We do not expect that Shareholder
approval will be sought, unless required by applicable law, regulation or exchange listing standard
as a condition to the issuance of ordinary shares in any particular transaction.
Any issuance of additional ordinary shares could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share
and book value per share of existing ordinary shares, and such additional ordinary shares could be
used to dilute the share ownership of a person seeking to obtain control of the Company. Ordinary
shareholders of the Company do not have pre-emptive rights to subscribe to additional securities
that the Company may issue, which means that current shareholders do not have a prior right to
purchase any new issue of shares in order to maintain their proportionate ownership.
The Board recommends a vote FOR the resolution to increase the authorised share capital of the
Company from £5,100,000 to £6,100,000 by the creation of 10,000,000 additional ordinary shares of
10 pence each and that the Companys memorandum of association be amended accordingly.
OTHER BUSINESS
The Board does not presently intend to bring any other business before the Extraordinary General
Meeting, and so far as is known to the Board, no matters will be brought before the Extraordinary
General Meeting except as is specified in this Proxy Statement. As to any business that may
properly come before the Extraordinary General Meeting, however, it is intended that
proxies, in the form enclosed, will be voted in respect thereof in accordance with the judgment of
those persons voting such proxies.
