INTRODUCTION

For a table of cross references between the contents of this Tender Offer Statement and the requirements of Schedule TO, see the section entitled “Cross Reference Sheet.”

The Delisting Offer and the Delisting Regulations

This is a combined Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO and Schedule 13E-3 in accordance with general Instruction J to Schedule TO (collectively, the “Schedule TO”) and is being filed by iGATE Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (“iGATE”), Pan-Asia iGATE Solutions (the “Acquirer”) and iGATE Global Solutions Limited (“iGATE India” and together with the Acquirer, the “Promoters”). Because the board of directors of Patni Computer Systems Limited, a public limited company organized under the laws of India (“Patni” or the “Company”) recommended that Patni shareholders tender their shares of Patni Common Stock into the Delisting Offer (as defined below), Patni is also considered to be engaged in a “going private transaction” subject to Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and therefore, Patni has joined iGATE and the Promoters in the filing of the Schedule 13E-3 portion of the combined filing. The Company, iGATE and the Promoters are herein referred to as the “Filing Persons.” This Schedule TO relates to the subsequent offering period which commenced on May 28, 2012 and continue through May 27, 2013 (the “Subsequent Offering Period”) of the delisting offer that was commenced by the Acquirer on March 14, 2012 to (a) acquire all the remaining issued and outstanding equity shares, par value of Rs. 2 (the “Shares” or the “Common Stock”) of its majority-owned subsidiary, Patni and (b) delist the shares from the the Bombay Stock Exchange Ltd (the “BSE”) and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (the “NSE and, together with the BSE, the “Indian Stock Exchanges”) (clauses (a) and (b), collectively, the “Delisting Offer”). The Promoters’ objective in making the Delisting Offer is to obtain 100% ownership of Patni while providing the public shareholders of Patni with the ability to exit fully from the shares of Patni at a price that has been determined by a price discovery mechanism known in India as a “reverse book building process” in accordance with Indian law and Indian market practice as described below.

On March 14, 2012, the Promoters published a public announcement in India to the public shareholders of Patni commencing the Delisting Offer to acquire all outstanding Shares held by such holders in accordance with the Delisting of Equity Shares Regulations, 2009 (the “Delisting Regulations”) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (the “SEBI”) and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the public announcement and a bid letter dated March 14, 2012 (the “Bid Letter”). In accordance with the Delisting Regulations, such public shareholders proposed a price of Rs. 520 per Share (the “Discovered Price”) through the reverse book building process (i.e. the price at which the largest number of shares were tendered by the public shareholders). On April 10, 2012, after expiration of the Initial Offering Period, the Promoters published a public announcement in India to accept the Discovered Price and accept all the bids at or below the Discovered Price. On April 13, 2012, the Promoters completed the payment of the Discovered Price to the public shareholders who had validly tendered their Shares at or below the Discovered Price.

As required by Regulation 21 of the Delisting Regulations, during the Subsequent Offering Period, public shareholders of Patni who did not participate during the Delisting Offer or whose Shares were not accepted during the Initial Offering Period will be able to sell their Shares to the Promoters, at a price of Rs. 520 per Share (the “Final Price”). The Final Price offered in the Subsequent Offering Period is the same as the Discovered Price.

The Subsequent Offering Period in the United States will be conducted in compliance with the applicable requirements of Sections 13(e) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 13e-3 and Regulations 14D and 14E promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), other than the relief received from the Staff of the Division of Corporate Finance of the Commission by letter dated May 25, 2012. Holders of ADSs who exchange their ADSs for the underlying Shares, and U.S. holders of Shares can tender their Shares during the Subsequent Offering Period at the Final Price. The cash consideration to be paid to ADS holders, who exchange their ADSs for the underlying Shares, and U.S. holders of Shares who tender such Shares during the Subsequent Offering Period in the United States may be paid, at the holder’s option, in U.S. dollars (after being converted at the U.S. dollar spot rate against the Indian exchange rate on the day on which funds are received by the receiving agent or its custodian

from the Promoters). The Promoters will pay the administrative fees and expenses of converting Indian Rupees to U.S. dollars during the Subsequent Offering Period such that no fees will be payable by U.S. holders of Shares or ADS holders, who exchange the ADSs for the underlying Shares and request payment in U.S. dollars. The Promoters will not pay any fees or commissions to any broker or dealer in connection with the Delisting Offer. Brokers, dealers, commercial banks and trust companies will, upon request, be reimbursed by the Promoters for customary mailing and handling expenses incurred by them in forwarding materials to their customers.

On or about May 28, 2012, the Common Stock was withdrawn from trading on the Indian Stock Exchanges. Public shareholders who did not participate in the tender process at the time of the price discovery period of the Delisting Offer, or who tendered their Common Stock at a price higher than the Final Price, and hence were not accepted as a part of the Delisting Offer, will be able to tender their Shares at the Final Price received by the other public shareholders who tendered their Shares in the Delisting Offer for a period of one year following the date of the delisting of Shares from the Indian Stock Exchanges, which occurred on May 28, 2012.

An indicative timetable, including the relevant dates and deadlines in connection with the Delisting Offer, is set forth under “Summary Term Sheet—Indicative Timetable.”

The Delisting Offer

In connection with the Delisting Offer by the Promoters to purchase the Shares of Patni from its public shareholders in order to delist Patni from the Indian Stock Exchanges, which occurred on May 28, 2012, on April 10, 2012, the Promoters, iGATE and the Company, announced the Final Price of Rs. 520 per Share. The Final Price was the discovered price (i.e., the price at which the largest number of equity shares were tendered by the public shareholders of Patni) determined through a reverse book building process in accordance with applicable Indian regulations.

Pursuant to the Delisting Regulations, the Acquirer is commencing the Subsequent Offering Period to purchase all remaining outstanding Shares in accordance with the Delisting Regulations at the Final Price of Rs. 520 per Share. Holders of ADSs who convert their ADSs into underlying Shares can tender their Shares during the Subsequent Offering Period and receive the Final Price.

Purpose of the Subsequent Offering Period

The purpose of the Subsequent Offering Period is to comply with the Delisting Regulations and allow the Promoters to obtain full ownership of Patni, while providing an exit opportunity for the public shareholders at a price that has been determined by a price discovery mechanism known in India as a “reverse book building process” in accordance with Indian law and Indian market practice as described herein. See “Special Factors—Purposes, Alternatives, Reasons and Effects of the Going Private Transaction.”

Principal Terms of the Delisting Offer

Ÿ The Purchase of and Payout for the Common Stock. The Acquirer is offering to purchase Shares during the Subsequent Offering Period at the Final Price. Holders of Shares will not be entitled to any appraisal rights under Indian corporate law or the Delisting Regulations since the Final Price was determined through the reverse book building process provided for under the delisting regulations.

Ÿ Outstanding shares of Common Stock Not Owned by the Promoters and their Affiliates. As of May 4, 2012, a total of 9,738,262 shares of Common Stock (including Common Stock represented by ADSs), or 7.17% of Patni’s total outstanding Shares, were held by persons other than the Promoters and their affiliates. As of May 4, 2012, a total of 2,396,489 ADSs, representing 1.76% of Patni’s total outstanding shares, were held by persons other than the Promoters and their affiliates.

Ÿ Source and Amount of Funds. The total amount of funds required by the Promoters to purchase all of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of Patni is Rs. 5,063,896, such amount is currently being held in the Escrow Account. The Promoters have obtained the necessary funds for the above purchase from third-party financing sources. For a more detailed description of the funds used in and the expenses related to the Transaction, see “Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.”

Ÿ The Promoters’ Position on the Fairness of the Delisting Offer. The Promoters have determined that the Delisting Offer and the Final Price that has been determined by the reverse book building process is procedurally fair to the unaffiliated public shareholders of Patni for purposes of Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act. The Promoters have also determined that the Delisting Offer and the purchase price to be determined by the reverse book building process was procedurally fair for purposes of the Delisting Regulations, in each case, based primarily on the factors set forth in “Special Factors-Determination of Fairness by the Promoters.”

Ÿ Patni’s Position on the Fairness of the Delisting Offer. The independent non-interested directors of Patni have determined that the Delisting Offer and the Final Price are procedurally fair to the unaffiliated public shareholders and ADS holders of Patni for purposes of Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act. The independent non-interested directors of Patni have also determined that the Delisting Offer and Final Price is substantively fair to the shareholders and ADS holders who exchange their ADSs for underlying Shares. In reaching this determination, the independent non-interested directors of the board of directors of Patni consulted Patni’s management and Patni’s financial and legal advisors and considered a number of factors including the price discovery mechanism required by the Delisting Regulations. See “Special Factors—Patni Fairness Determination.”

Ÿ Tendering of ADSs. U.S. holders of ADSs are not permitted to directly tender ADSs in the Subsequent Offering Period of the Delisting Offer, but must instead, if they elect to tender, cancel their ADSs and receive the underlying shares of Common Stock and then tender such shares of Common Stock. See “Terms of the Delisting Offer—Tendering of ADSs.”

Ÿ Withdrawal of tendered Shares. There are no withdrawal rights during the Subsequent Offering Period.

Ÿ No Appraisal Rights. Since the Final Price was determined by the public shareholders through the reverse book building process, public shareholders are not entitled to any appraisal rights under the Delisting Regulations.

Ÿ Timetable. The Share were delisted from the Indian Stock Exchanges on May 28, 2012. The Subsequent Offering Period will be settled in ten calendar day cycles and payment for Shares tendered during each cycle will occur on or around 7 business days following such expiration.

See “Special Factors—Determination of Fairness by the Promoters”

SPECIAL FACTORS

Purposes, Alternatives, Reasons and Effects of the Going-Private Transaction

On November 11, 2011, the Promoters delivered to the board of directors of Patni a notice to notify Patni of the Promoters’ intention to delist the Common Stock from the BSE and the NSE in India (the “Delisting Proposal”). On November 16, 2011, the independent non-interested directors of Patni’s board of directors determined (a) to approve the Delisting Proposal; (b) to recommend that the Company’s shareholders approve the Delisting Proposal; and (c) that the Delisting Proposal was in the best interest of the minority shareholders, Patni and its employees. On January 6, 2012, the shareholders of Patni approved the Delisting Proposal by the required three-fourths vote requirement and the Public Shareholders approved the Delisting Proposal by the required 2:1 positive vote determination requirement. The purpose of the Delisting Proposal is to allow the Promoters to obtain full ownership of Patni, as well as providing an exit opportunity for the public shareholders.

Participation in the Subsequent Offering Period is voluntary and the ownership of Patni following the transaction is uncertain. However, if all the shares of Common Stock are tendered, the Promoters’ beneficial ownership in Patni would increase from approximately 92.90% to 100%.

If that happens, as the sole shareholders of Patni, the Promoters will receive the benefit of the right to participate in any and all future increases in Patni’s value and will bear the complete risk of any and all losses incurred in the operation of Patni and any decreases in Patni’s value. The Promoters also will realize, directly or indirectly, all of the benefits of Patni no longer being a publicly listed or traded company in India and of no longer having any unaffiliated minority shareholders. These benefits will include cost savings associated with Patni no longer being required to, among other things, prepare and file an annual corporate governance report in India or distribute annual reports to unaffiliated minority shareholders. While the Promoters are not able to accurately estimate such cost savings at this time, the Promoters expects them to be relatively modest. The Promoters also believe that the absence of unaffiliated minority shareholders in Patni will reduce, to some extent, the risk of litigation against Patni, iGATE, the Promoters and their respective affiliates.

Under the Securities Contract (Regulation) Act, 1956 and the listing agreement executed between Patni and each of the BSE and the NSE, 25% of the share capital of Patni is required to be held by shareholders other than the Promoters. In the event the Promoters’ shareholding exceeds 75% of Patni’s share capital, the Promoters are required to take steps to reduce their shareholding percentage to 75%. Pursuant to the consummation of the Patni Acquisition in May 2011, the Promoters exceed 80.38% of the share capital of the Patni on a fully diluted basis as of December 2, 2011. The two options through which the Promoters could reduce their shareholding percentage in Patni are by (a) making a fresh issuance of shares of Patni or (b) by the Promoters selling at least 5.5% of their current shareholding in the market. Since there is no need for additional capital in Patni, making a fresh issuance of shares was not an option that should be implemented. The option of the Promoters divesting their shareholding in Patni would only further add to the downward pressure of the market price of the shares of Patni and would therefore not be in the best interests for Patni’s other shareholders.

After considering the alternatives described above, the Promoters concluded that the Delisting Proposal was the option that best satisfied its objectives while being consistent with the interests of Patni’s public shareholders and the holders of ADSs.

The following reasons factored into the Promoters’ decision to structure the Delisting Proposal as a delisting offer and make a cash payment to Patni’s public shareholders in consideration of their shares of Common Stock that will be transferred to the Promoters:

•

the Promoters had until May 2012 to either reduce their shareholding of Patni’s Common Stock to 75% or offer to purchase the outstanding shares of Common Stock owned by the Public Shareholders;

•

the Promoters believe the Delisting Offer provides the Public Shareholders with an exit opportunity. Not only have several analysts excluded Patni from their coverage, but there is also the risk of

continued downward pressure of the market price of Patni’s Common Stock if the Promoters divested their shareholding in Patni in the secondary market;

•

the ongoing expenses of Patni maintaining a listing on the BSE and the NSE, including investor relations expenses associated with these continued listings will be reduced;

•

the need to dedicate management time to compliance with the requirements associated with the continued listings and the needs of the public shareholders will be reduced and can be refocused on Patni’s business; and

•

the procedural fairness of the process contemplated by the Delisting Regulations, the procedural differences between the Delisting Regulations and similar processes under U.S. securities laws and the impact of the Delisting Proposal on Holders of ADSs

•

the Delisting Offer is the quickest and most cost effective way for the Promoters to comply with the provisions of the listing agreement, Securities Contract (Regulation) Act, 1956 and the Delisting Regulations.

The Promoters also considered certain potentially negative factors associated with the delisting offer over a sale of the Promoters’ Shares to reduce their shareholding percentage to 75%. A negative impact of the Delisting Proposal being consummated is that shareholders who did not tender their shares of Common Stock in the delisting offer, will no longer have the option of trading in listed stock. Further, shareholders who did not tender their shares of Common Stock as well as shareholders who tendered their shares of Common Stock at a price higher than the Final Price may continue as minority shareholders and can sell their shareholding to the Promoters during the Subsequent Offering Period.

The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by the Promoters is not intended to be exhaustive, but, rather, includes the material factors considered by the boards of directors of iGATE and the Promoters. In reaching its decision to pursue the Delisting Proposal, the board of directors of iGATE and the Promoters did not quantify or assign any relative weights to the factors considered, and individual directors may have given different weights to different factors. The boards of directors of iGATE and the Promoters considered all of these factors as a whole, including discussions with, and questioning of, certain members of iGATE’s and the Promoters’ management, and overall the factors support its decision to proceed by means of the Delisting Proposal. The boards of directors of iGATE and the Promoters further concluded that any risks or other potentially negative factors for Patni’s public shareholders associated with the Delisting Proposaleither were ameliorated by other provisions of the Delisting Regulations, such as the requirement that the Public Shareholders approve the purchase price as a result of the reverse book building procedures and were outweighed by the relative advantages of the Delisting Proposal.

Upon completion of the Delisting Offer, Patni’s public shareholders who tender their shares of Common Stock will not bear the risks of potential decreases in the value of their holdings in Patni based on any downturns in Patni’s future performance. Under the Delisting Offer, Patni’s public shareholders will receive a single cash price for their shares of Common Stock (including those represented by ADSs which are converted into Common Stock) and may then choose an alternative investment offering greater liquidity than the Common Stock or otherwise use their funds as they see fit.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

The information set forth under “Terms of the Transaction—United States Federal Income Tax Consequences” is incorporated herein by reference.

Certain Indian Income Tax Considerations

The information regarding the Indian income tax considerations is incorporated herein by reference from the Letter of Offer, which is attached as an exhibit to this Schedule TO and attached hereto.

Determination of Fairness by the Promoters

The Promoters believe the Delisting Offer is procedurally fair to Patni’s unaffiliated security holders.

The Final Price is the same as the Discovered Price, which was determined after establishment of a statutorily prescribed “floor price,” which is determined in accordance with Delisting Regulations. The floor price for the Delisting Offer was calculated based on the higher of the average of the weekly high and low of the closing prices of the shares of Patni during (a) the 26 weeks; and (b) the two weeks, in each case, preceding the date on which the stock exchanges were notified of the Patni board meeting in which the Delisting Proposal was considered. The prices of the shares of Common Stock of Patni for this computation are as quoted on the stock exchanges where the Common Stock is most frequently traded. The floor price for the Delisting Offer was Rs. 356.74 per share, as determined in accordance with the Delisting Regulations described above.

The Discovered Price was determined pursuant to a combination of a tendering and bidding process available to the public shareholders of Patni. Under the Delisting Regulations, the Promoters were required to give public shareholders a minimum period of three working days and a maximum of five working days during which time the public shareholders may submit their bids and tender their shares of Common Stock to the Acquirer (the “Reverse Book Building Period”). The Discovered Price is the price at which the largest number of shares of Common Stock are tendered by the Public Shareholders or such high price as determined by the Promoters.

For the Delisting Offer to be successful, the shareholding of the Promoters (along with persons acting in concert them) taken together with the shares of Common Stock accepted through eligible bids at or below the Final Price had to reach the higher of (a) 90% of the total issued Common Stock of that class excluding the Common Stock which are held by a custodian and against which depository receipts have been issued overseas; and (b) the aggregate percentage of the Promoters’ shareholding (along with persons acting in concert) prior to the Delisting Offer and 50% of the offer size. If the threshold was not met then the Delisting Offer would have failed.

On April 10, 2012 the Promoters accepted the Final Price of Rs. 520 per share and the necessary shareholding threshold described above was met.

Patni Fairness Determination

Patni’s Position Regarding Procedural Fairness of the Delisting Proposal

On November 16, 2011, the independent non-interested directors of Patni concluded that the Delisting Proposal was procedurally fair to the unaffiliated minority holders of Patni’s shares of Common Stock and ADSs based on the following factors:

Board and Shareholder Approval Process.

•

Upon receipt of the Delisting Proposal and prior to the formal board meeting of Patni’s board of directors on November 16, 2011, the independent non-interested directors of Patni (consisting of Mr. Arun Duggal, Mr. Vimal Bhandari and Mr. Jai Pathak) (a) had informal discussions on the Delisting Proposal and (b) engaged and sought the advice of Hogan Lovells LLP, as U.S. counsel, and Wadia Ghandy & Co., as Indian counsel, on the obligations of the Patni board of directors in its review of the Delisting Proposal under the laws of the United States and India.

•

In addition to the engagement of legal counsel, the independent non-interested directors engaged Price Waterhouse & Co (“PW & Co”), as a financial advisor, to evaluate the benefits and detriments of the Delisting Proposal for Patni, its employees and the minority shareholders of Patni. PW & Co was specifically instructed by the independent non-interested directors of Patni not to consider the potential benefits to the Promoters from the Delisting Proposal.

•

Patni’s board, acting through the independent non-interested directors and understanding their fiduciary duties under Indian corporate law, recognized that the role of the independent non-interested directors in considering the Delisting Proposal is to protect the interests of the minority shareholders of the Company and its employees.

•

Prior to commencing the discussions on the Delisting Proposal at the formal meeting of the board on November 16, 2011, the Chairman of Patni’s board asked all the persons present at the meeting whether any of them would have a conflict of interest with regards to the Delisting Proposal and for such conflicting interest to be declared. Mr. Phaneesh Murthy and Mr. Shashank Singh disclosed that they would be deemed to be interested in the Delisting Proposal, and they have a conflict because of their relationship with the Promoters and Mr. Sujit Sircar disclosed that he would also be deemed to be interested in the Delisting Proposal and have a conflict because he is the Chief Financial Officer of both Patni and the Promoters. The conflicted directors (Mr. Murthy, Mr. Singh and Mr. Göran Lindahl) and Mr. Sircar did not participate in the deliberations of the independent non-interested directors with respect to the Delisting Proposal and the interested directors did not vote on the Delisting Proposal at the November 16, 2011 board meeting.

•

At the November 16, 2011 board meeting, PW & Co made an oral presentation of its analysis and findings with respect to the Delisting Proposal, which are summarized below. PW & Co advised the board that the delisting was in the best interests of the minority shareholders. Further, PW & Co concluded that delisting was the only viable option among the various alternatives considered by PW & Co.

After the oral presentation by PW & Co, the independent non-interested directors sought clarity about the impact of the Delisting Proposal on the employees of Patni from Mr. Murthy and Mr. Sircar. Mr. Murthy stated that the Promoters would endeavor to protect the economic interests of the employees. The independent non-interested directors then asked them to explain the impact of the delisting on the career paths of the Patni employees. Mr. Murthy stated that the career paths of the employees could potentially benefit from the synergies created by the Delisting Proposal.

•

After the PW & Co oral presentation and the clarifications from Mr. Murthy and Mr. Sircar regarding the interests of the Patni employees, the Patni board discussed the various legal aspects of the Delisting Proposal with Hogan Lovells LLP and Wadia Ghandy & Co.

•

Thereafter, the independent non-interested directors discussed the Delisting Proposal and the advice received from Patni’s legal advisors and PW & Co and determined that the Delisting Proposal was in the best interests of the minority shareholders and the best interests of Patni and its employees. Consequently, the independent non-interested directors unanimously approved the Delisting Proposal and recommended that the holders of Patni’s Common Stock approve the Delisting Proposal.

•

Pursuant to the above board resolution, and in accordance with applicable regulations, Patni mailed the postal ballot materials to all the holders of Patni’s Common Stock on December 9, 2011, in order to enable the shareholders to vote on the Delisting Proposal. On January 10, 2012 the necessary shareholder approval of the Delisting Proposal was received.

Summary of the Oral Presentation made by PW & Co at the Patni Board Meeting on November 16, 2011.

The PW & Co analysis considered three possible options for the minority shareholders of Patni: 1) the continued listing of Patni’s Common Stock on the BSE and the NSE, and the ADSs on the NYSE; 2) the potential merger of the Promoters’ parent entity (iGATE) with Patni and 3) the delisting of Patni shares from the BSE and the NSE, and the ADSs on the NYSE. A summary of the presentation by PW & Co to the Patni board on November 16, 2011 is set forth below.

Continued Listing

PW & Co first reminded the board of the history of the Promoters’ investment in Patni and indicated that the Promoters completed their acquisition of Patni shares of Common Stock in May 2011, which increased the

Promoters’ aggregate equity interest in Patni to approximately 80.5% of the current paid up equity share capital of Patni on a fully diluted basis. PW & Co pointed out that this percentage ownership by the Promoters is above the maximum ownership permitted under the listing rules of the Indian Stock Exchanges. Under the listing rules of the Indian Stock Exchanges, unless the Promoters acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of Patni, the Promoters must, within a period of one year, take steps to reduce their shareholding percentage, such that the public float of the Common Stock of Patni is 25% or higher. PW & Co pointed out that this ownership reduction can be accomplished in one of two methods: (a) Patni can issue new Common Stock to increase the total outstanding Common Stock and thereby reduce the Promoters’ ownership percentage; or (b) the Promoters can sell Patni’s Common Stock in the stock markets.

PW & Co noted that, based upon its discussion with Patni management, Patni has no need for any additional capital and therefore a new issuance of Common Stock by Patni is not a viable option. Further, as regards the market price of Patni’s Common Stock, and the factors that impacted the price, PW & Co stated that (a) the market was currently volatile and falling and therefore there was already downward pressure on the stock price of Patni; (b) several analysts have excluded Patni from their coverage; (c) there is a low float of Patni’s Common Stock in the markets; and (d) in light of the iGATE acquisition, the speculative interest in Patni’s securities was non-existent. Therefore, the sale of shares of Common Stock by the Promoters would only further add to the downward pressure on the market price of the Patni’s Common Stock.

Considering the pricing-related factors discussed above, PW & Co concluded that a sale of Patni’s Common Stock by the Promoters in the secondary market would also only add to the downward pressure on the market price of the Patni’s Common Stock.

For the reasons discussed above, PW & Co advised the board that the continued listing of Patni’s Common Stock on the BSE and the NSE, and the ADSs on the NYSE was not the option that was in the best interests of the minority shareholders of Patni.

Merger of the Promoter Parent and Patni

PW & Co’s oral presentation also included a discussion regarding a potential merger of the Promoters’ parent entity (iGATE) with Patni. PW & Co stated at the outset that they were not aware of any merger proposal. However, PW & Co considered this alternative in order to understand the viability of this option. A cross-border merger of an offshore company into an Indian company (or vice versa) was not a viable option as it involved a number of regulatory and foreign exchange issues. Considering the complications in this process, PW & Co advised the board that it believed the merger option would not be the best option available to the minority shareholders.

Under the Companies Act, 1956, cross border mergers are permissible only in instances where the surviving entity is the Indian company. In other words, a merger wherein Patni merges into iGate Corporation and ceases to exist as a separate legal entity is not permitted under Indian law. It is for this reason that the merger of Patni into iGate Corporation was not considered a viable option.

Delisting

The open offer made by the Promoters in January 2011 at the time of their acquisition of the equity shares of Patni, under the SEBI takeover regulations, was over-subscribed. This reflected an interest of the Public Shareholders to exit from the Shares of Patni, at a fair price. The delisting process was expected to offer this opportunity to the shareholders considering the following:

•

As required by the applicable regulations of the SEBI, the pricing of the Delisting Offer would be determined by the shareholders themselves through a Reverse Book Building Process, where the final price is determined on the basis of how shareholders bid; and

•

PW & Co. also noted that the minority shareholders often received a premium to market value in delistings and, therefore, a delisting pursuant to the Delisting Regulations typically provided minority shareholders with a better exit opportunity even compared to mergers (as in mergers, share values are often based on the fair value of the two companies in consideration). Specifically, PW & Co. advised the Board that in the six successful recent delistings that PW & Co. had reviewed, the premium to market ranged from 8% to 87%.”

Considering the above, delisting was likely to provide the minority shareholders an opportunity to exit at a fair price, higher than the prevailing share prices. Considering that many of the minority shareholders had already expressed their interest to exit through over-subscription to the earlier open offer, it was assessed by PW & Co. that delisting was in the best interest of the minority shareholders.”

The third alternative discussed was the delisting option. PW & Co indicated that, as required by the applicable SEBI regulations, the pricing of the Delisting Offer would be determined by the shareholders themselves through a reverse book building process where the final price is determined on the basis of how shareholders bid.

PW & Co then concluded by stating that in their view the delisting was (a) in the best interests of the minority shareholders and (b) the most viable option among the various alternatives considered by PW & Co.

Interests of Patni Employees

The Board was informed that the feasibility of the proposal for employees was being considered, pursuant to which (a) unvested employee stock options would be replaced with other options in the Promoter parent at fair value, and (b) as regards employees who were holding vested share options, funding would be facilitated, so that such employees could exercise such options and tender the equity shares in the delisting offer. In this regard, Mr. Murthy and Mr. Sircar stated that the Promoters would endeavor to protect the economic interests of the employees. The board of Patni requested that a formal plan be prepared in such a manner as to ensure that the economic interests of the employees as option holders in Patni is not negatively impacted. The independent non-interested Directors then asked them to explain the impact of the delisting on the career paths of the Patni employees. Mr. Murthy stated that the career paths of the Patni employees would stand to benefit from the growth synergies created by the Transaction.

Benefit to Patni

PW & Co also advised the board that as a publicly listed entity, Patni incurs an amount of expenses on account of operational and compliance mechanisms that are in place, and that the delisting of the Common Stock and ADSs would result in a reduction of costs, which would benefit the Company. PW & Co also pointed out, as per information received from Patni’s management, the costs of any delisting would be borne by the Promoters and not the Company.

Independent Non-Interested Directors Determination on the Delisting Proposal

After the PW & Co oral presentation and clarifications from Mr. Murthy and Mr. Sircar regarding the interests of the Patni employees, the independent non-interested directors discussed the various legal aspects of the Delisting Proposal with Hogan Lovells LLP and Wadia Ghandy & Co.

Thereafter, the independent non-interested directors requested all other directors and representatives to excuse themselves except for the domestic legal advisors, Wadia Ghandy & Co., who were requested to stay on. The other directors and representatives then left the meeting of the Patni board.

The independent non-interested directors then (a) discussed the Delisting Proposal and the advice received from Patni’s legal advisors and PW & Co and (b) upon the completion of their deliberations, determined that the Delisting Proposal was in the best interests of the minority shareholders, the Company and its employees. Consequently, the independent non-interested directors unanimously approved the delisting of the Common Stock and, in accordance with the Delisting Regulations, recommended that the holders of Patni’s Common Stock approve the Delisting Proposal. In reaching this conclusion, the non-interested directors of Patni considered all of these factors listed above as a whole, and did not assign any weight to the respective factors.

The independent non-interested directors did not considered any factors, other than as stated above, regarding the procedural fairness of the Delisting Proposal to minority holders of equity shares, as it is Patni’s view that the factors considered provide a reasonable basis to form its belief.

In addition, the independent non-interested directors did not request PW & Co. to evaluate what a “fair” price or range of prices were for Patni’s common stock because the pricing mechanism, under the Delisting Regulations, is determined by the bidding of the Patni shareholders through the price discovery method. The independent non-interested directors understood that the price discovery method was itself designed to establish a “fair price” and, accordingly, it was not necessary for the Company or the directors to seek advice as to the “fairness” of the price.

Patni’s Position Regarding Substantive Fairness of the Delisting Offer

The independent non-interested directors of Patni have concluded that the Delisting Offer, including the Discovered Price offered to the shareholders in the Delisting Offer, is substantively fair to the unaffiliated minority holders of Patni’s Common Stock and ADSs based on the factors listed below. The Final Price is the same as the Discovered Price. Due to the nature of the Delisting Offer, there has been no negotiation of the Final Price between the Promoters and Patni, any of the independent non-interested directors of Patni or any other Patni representative acting on behalf of Patni’s unaffiliated minority holders of Patni’s shares of Common Stock and ADSs.

Factors Considered

The independent non-interested directors believe these factors support their conclusion that the Final Price being offered in the Subsequent Offering Period of the Delisting Offer is substantively fair to the unaffiliated minority holders of Patni’s Common Stock and ADSs.

•

based on the Patni’s independent non-interested directors’ knowledge of the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects and competitive position, they believe that the Delisting Offer is more favorable to the unaffiliated minority holders of Patni’s shares and ADSs than any other alternative reasonably available to the Company and the unaffiliated minority holders of Patni’s shares and ADSs as described above under the caption “—Patni’s Position Regarding Procedural Fairness,” including the alternative of a continued listing of Patni’s Common Stock on the BSE and the NSE, and the ADSs on the NYSE.

•

the consideration of Rs. 520 per share represents a price that the public shareholders of Common Stock deemed to be fair because the price was set by the holders of Common Stock pursuant to a price discovery mechanism, which is known in India as a reverse book building process, as discussed in greater detail above;

•

the unaffiliated minority holders of Patni’s shares of Common Stock and ADSs will not be forced to participate in the Delisting Offer, and can continue to hold shares of Patni’s Common Stock and ADSs and participate in the future of the Company if they wish to do so;

•

due to the all-cash consideration in the Subsequent Offering Period of the Delisting Offer, the unaffiliated minority holders of Patni’s Common Stock and ADSs will be able to immediately realize

liquidity for their investment and provide them with certainty of the value of their shares of Common Stock and ADSs;

•

the current global economic conditions and the potential effects on Patni’s financial condition;

•

the unaffiliated minority holders of Patni’s shares of Common Stock and ADSs will not be exposed to the risks and uncertainties relating to the Company’s prospects (including the risks described under the caption entitled “Risk Factors” in Patni’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2011);

•

other than the proposal of the Promoters, Patni has not received any recent acquisition proposals; and

•

the independent non-interested directors of Patni’s belief that it was unlikely that any transaction with a third party could be consummated at this time in light of the ownership percentage of the Promoters.

The independent non-interested directors are not aware of, and thus did not consider in their fairness determination, any offers or proposals made by any unaffiliated third parties with respect to a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another company, a sale of all or a substantial part of Company’s assets, or the purchase of the Company voting securities that would enable the holder to exercise control over the Company.

Neither Patni nor the independent non-interested directors received any independent reports, opinions or appraisals from any outside party related to the Final Price, and thus the independent non-interested directors didn’t not consider any such reports, opinions or appraisals, in determining the substantive fairness of the Final Price to the unaffiliated minority shareholders and ADS holders.

In addition to the foregoing factors that support the independent non-interested directors’ belief that the Delisting Offer, including the Discovered Price offered to shareholders in the Delisting Offer, is substantively fair to the unaffiliated minority holders of Patni’s Common Stock and ADSs, the independent non-interested directors also considered the following factors that might adversely affect this conclusion:

•

following the tender of shares into the Delisting Offer, the Company’s unaffiliated minority shareholders will cease to participate in the Company’s future earnings or growth, if any, or benefit from an increase, if any, in the value of their holdings in the Company; and

•

the independent non-interested directors decided not to retain an independent financial advisor to provide a fairness opinion as to the substantive fairness of the Final Price, which decision was made in view of the extensive knowledge that the independent non-interested directors have of the Company’s business and due to the factors supporting the procedural fairness of the Delisting Proposal (in particular the price discovery mechanism contained in the reverse book building process);

After having given these negative factors due consideration, the independent non-interested directors concluded that neither of these factors, alone or in the aggregate, is significant enough to outweigh the other factors described above on which the independent non-interested directors based their determination that the Delisting Offer, including the Discovered Price offered to shareholders in the Delisting Offer, is substantively fair to the Company’s unaffiliated minority shareholders.

In reaching the conclusion that the Delisting Offer and the Discovered Price being offered in the Subsequent Offering Period are substantively fair to the unaffiliated shareholders, the independent non-interested directors considered all of these factors above as a whole, and did not quantify or assign any relative weight to the factors considered.

The independent non-interested directors have not considered any factors, other than as stated above, regarding the substantive fairness of the Delisting Offer, and it is the view of the independent non-interested directors that the factors considered provide a reasonable basis to form their belief.

In reaching the conclusion that the Final Price being offered in the Subsequent Offering Period is substantively fair to the unaffiliated minority shareholders, the independent non-interested directors considered all of these factors above as a whole, and did not quantify or assign any relative weight to the factors considered.

The independent non-interested directors have not considered any factors, other than as stated above, regarding the substantive fairness of the Final Price, and it is the independent non-interested directors’ view that the factors considered provide a reasonable basis to form their belief.

The Board, based upon the unanimous determination of the independent non-interested directors, has determined that the Delisting Proposal is procedurally fair to the unaffiliated minority holders of Patni’s shares of Common Stock and ADSs and that the Delisting Offer, including the Discovered Price, is substantively fair to the unaffiliated minority holders of Patni’s Common Stock and ADSs. In reaching this determination, the Board considered and adopted the analysis, conclusions and unanimous determination of the independent non-interested directors that the Delisting Proposal and the Delisting Offer were fair, both procedurally and substantively, to the unaffiliated minority holders of Patni’s shares of Common Stock and ADSs.

In addition to the factors listed above that support the conclusion of the independent non-interested directors that the Delisting Offer is substantively fair to the unaffiliated minority shareholders, a shareholder considering whether or not to tender into the Subsequent Offering Period should consider the following additional information:

The Discovered Price of Rs. 520 per share is a 45.7% premium over the floor price for the Delisting Offer of Rs. 356.74 per share that was disclosed in the Delisting Offer. Specifically, the floor price of the Delisting Offer was calculated based on the higher of the average of the weekly high and low of the closing prices of the shares of Patni during (a) the 26 weeks and (b) the two weeks, in each case, preceding the date on which the stock exchanges were notified of the Patni board meeting at which the Delisting Proposal was considered. The Discovered Price of Rs. 520 per share also is a 43.8% premium over the closing price of the ADSs on November 9, 2011, the trading day immediately prior to the date the Promoters delivered to the Patni Board the Delisting Proposal Notice of the Patni ADSs on the NYSE, a 45% premium over the closing price of the Patni shares on the Bombay Stock Exchange and a 44.7% premium over the closing price of the Patni shares on the National Stock Exchange of India Limited. In addition, the following table illustrates the premium percentage over the 30-60-90-trading day volume weighted average price of the Patni shares on the Bombay Stock Exchange:


30 trading day volume weighted average price prior to November 10, 2011	65.0	%
60 trading day volume weighted average price prior to November 10, 2011	74.4	%
90 trading day volume weighted average price prior to November 10, 2011	68.6	%”

Finally, the Discovered Price is a 90.5% premium over the net book value of the Patni Common Stock as of December 31, 2011.

The independent non-interested directors also were aware that the Discovered Price of Rs. 520 per share is greater than the price per share of Rs. 503.5 that the Promoters paid in January 2011 to acquire their majority stake in Patni.

Recommendation of the Independent Director of Patni to Tender

As described above, in November 2011 the independent non-interested directors of Patni’s board of directors unanimously approved the Delisting Proposal and, in accordance with the Delisting Regulations, recommended that the holders of Patni’s Common Stock vote to approve the Delisting Proposal. On January 10, 2012, the necessary shareholder approval of the Delisting Proposal was received.

On April 10, 2012, the independent non-interested directors of Patni’s board of directors considered the fairness of the Delisting Offer and the Final Price being offered in the Subsequent Offering Period and have determined that the Final Price being offered in the Subsequent Offering Period is fair to the unaffiliated shareholders and holders of ADSs and recommends that shareholders tender his, her or its shares of Common Stock to the Acquirer during the Subsequent Offering Period.

REPORTS, OPINIONS, APPRAISALS AND NEGOTIATIONS

Neither the Promoters nor Patni is required by the Delisting Regulations to obtain a written third party report, opinion or appraisal regarding the Delisting Offer or the Final Price. The Promoters believe that the reverse book building process required by the Delisting Regulations and described in this Schedule TO enabled the Public Shareholders to determine the Final Price and it is therefore not necessary for any of the Promoters to obtain a written third party report, opinion or appraisal regarding the Delisting Offer or the Final Price.

As discussed above, the independent non-interested directors of Patni engaged PW & Co, as a financial advisor, to evaluate the benefits and detriments of the Delisting Proposal for Patni, its employees and the Public Shareholders. On November 16, 2011, PW & Co made an oral presentation of its analysis and findings with respect to the Delisting Proposal. The information under the section “Special Factors—Patni Fairness Determination—Patni’s Position Regarding Procedural Fairness of the Delisting Proposal” is incorporated herein by reference.

PW & Co was engaged by the independent non-interested directors of Patni to act as its financial advisor in connection with the Delisting Proposal. The independent non-interested directors engaged PW & Co based on PW & Co’s experience and reputation. PW & Co and its affiliates are regularly engaged to render financial advice in connection with mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, and for other purposes. Pursuant to the engagement letter, the Company paid PW & Co a customary fee for its services, a portion of which became payable upon the execution of PW & Co’s engagement letter and the balance of which became payable upon the delivery of PW & Co’s oral report, regardless of the conclusion reached therein. No portion of PW & Co’s fee is contingent upon the successful completion of the Delisting Proposal or Delisting Offer. The Company also agreed to reimburse PW & Co for certain expenses and to indemnify PW & Co, its affiliates and certain related parties against certain liabilities and expenses, including certain liabilities under the federal securities laws arising out of or relating to PW & Co’s engagement.

As discussed above under the section “Special Factors—Patni’s Position Regarding Substantive Fairness of the Discovered Price in the Delisting Offer” the independent non-interested directors decided not to retain an independent financial advisor to provide a fairness opinion as the fairness of the Final Price.

Dividends

The Company does not have a stated dividend policy and determines the amount of dividends to be recommended for approval by the shareholders on a year-by-year basis by reference to the Company’s earnings, cash flow, financial condition and other factors prevailing at the time. The Company has paid dividends in the past. Although the Company has no current intention to discontinue dividend payments, the Company cannot assure you that any future dividends will be declared or paid or that the amount thereof will not be decreased.

Owners of ADSs are entitled to receive dividends payable in respect of the shares of Common Stock represented by such ADSs. Cash dividends in respect of the shares of Common Stock represented by the ADSs will be paid to the depositary in Indian Rupees and, will generally be converted by the depositary into U.S. dollars and distributed, net of depositary fees and expenses, to the holders of such ADSs.

The Company’s board of directors approved a special interim dividend of Rs. 63.0 per share (approximately $1.34 per share) at its meeting held on August 13, 2010.

Prior Public Offerings

Neither iGATE, the Promoters nor the Company, has made an underwritten public offering of the Common Stock for cash during the past three years that was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

TERMS OF THE DELISTING OFFER

Basic Terms

The Acquirer is offering to purchase all of the remaining outstanding shares of Common Stock of Patni, including those shares that are converted from ADSs, at the Final Price of Rs. 520 per Share. The Final Price is the same as the Discovered Price, which was determined through the reverse book building process described in this Schedule TO. The terms of the Delisting Offer during the Subsequent Offering Period are described in the Exit Letter of Offer, which is filed as an exhibit to this Schedule TO and attached hereto.

The Purchase of and Payout for the Common Stock. The Acquirer will pay the Final Price for your shares of Common Stock. Holders of shares of Common Stock or ADSs will not be entitled to any appraisal rights under Indian corporate law or the Delisting Regulations since the Final Price was determined through the reverse book building process provided for under the Delisting Regulations.

In connection with the Delisting Offer the Promoters were required to open the Escrow Account and deposit the cash equivalent to the total amount of consideration calculated on the basis of the Final Price and number of shares of Common Stock tendered in the Delisting Offer and Bank Guarantee in favor of SEBI’s Merchant Banker appointed for the Delisting Offer for the amount payable to the public during the exit window (an amount determined by multiplying the Final Price by the number of shares of Common Stock not owned by the Promoters on a fully diluted basis). The Bank Guarantee secures the obligations of the Promoters to consummate the Delisting Offer under the Delisting Regulations at the Final Price. As required by the Delisting Regulations, the Bank Guarantee is required to be valid for a period of one year from the date of delisting of the Common Stock from the Indian Stock Exchanges. This period of one year is the exit window to be provided to the public shareholders of the Company who have not participated in the tender process at the time of the price discovery period of the Delisting Offer, or who tendered their Common Stock at a price higher than the Final Price, and hence were not accepted as a part of the Initial Offering Period of the Delisting Offer.

Pursuant to Regulation 20 of the Delisting Regulations, the Acquiror opened the Escrow Account with the Merchant Banker and deposited the entire amount due and payable as consideration in respect of the shares of Common Stock tendered in the Delisting Offer.

The Exit Window. Pursuant to the Delisting Regulations, public shareholders of the Company who have not participated in the tender process at the time of the price discovery of the Delisting Offer, or who tendered their shares of Common Stock at a price higher than the Discovered Price, and hence were not accepted as a part of the Initial Offering Period of the Delisting Offer, will have a one-year exit window to tender their shares at the Final Price (the “Exit Window”). Settlement of tenders made during the Exit Window will be made by way of a check, demand draft or any applicable mode of electronic payment settlement (such as national electronic funds transfer or national electronic clearing services). All payments will be made in the name of the first holder, in case of joint holder(s). Dispatches of payee checks or demand drafts will be made by registered post at the public shareholder’s sole risk. Settlement will occur in ten calendar day cycles for the duration of the Exit Window, payment for shares tendered in each settlement cycle will be made with 7 business days after each settlement cycle. Holders may request payment for their Shares tendered during the Subsequent Offering Period in U.S. dollars and the Promoters will pay the cost of currency exchange.

Outstanding shares of Common Stock Not Owned by the Promoters and their Affiliates. As of May 4, 2012, a total of 9,738,262 shares of Common Stock (including Common Stock represented by ADSs), or 7.17% of Patni’s total outstanding Shares, were held by persons other than the Promoters and their affiliates. As of May 4, 2012, a total of 2,396,489 ADSs, representing 1.76% of Patni’s total outstanding shares, were held by persons other than the Promoters and their affiliates.

Tendering of Common Stock Underlying ADSs. Holders of ADSs are not permitted to directly tender their ADSs during the Subsequent Offering Period, but must instead, if they elect to tender, cancel the ADSs and receive the underlying shares of Common Stock and then tender such Common Stock.

If a holder of ADSs has cancelled his, her or its ADSs and received Shares he, she or it can tender those shares of Common Stock as described in the Exit Letter of Offer, which is attached as an exhibit to this Schedule TO and attached hereto.

In order to exchange an ADS and obtain the deposited underlying Shares, a holder must take the following steps:

Deliver the depositary receipts (the “Depositary Receipts”) via The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to The Bank of New York Mellon Depositary Receipts DTC 2504 account 016201. The DTC delivery must reference “see fax instructions” on the DTC comments field 1-4.

Create delivery instructions on holder letterhead including the following information:

American Depositary Shares, each representing two equity shares, par value Rs. 2 per share of equity shares of Patni Computer Systems Limited;

CUSIP Number;

Number of ADSs;

Corresponding local delivery details (indicate the name of settlement systems (NSDL or CDSL) and the corresponding DP ID/CLIENT ID). The DP ID/CLIENT ID can be obtained from your Indian demat account provider; and

Such holder’s contact name, phone number and email address in case the Depositary has any questions with respect to your instructions.

Fax the instructions on holder letterhead to +732 667 9101, indicating “Attention Cancellation Desk.”

After The Bank of New York Mellon Depositary Receipts receives the Depositary Receipts, valid instructions and fee payment, it will instruct the custodian to deliver the shares of Common Stock as instructed.

A holder seeking to redeem an ADS (or his, her or its custodian in India) must have a valid Indian demat account in order to accept the delivery of the shares of Common Stock from the custodian. Opening and/or operating an Indian demat account could be subject to certain costs, taxes, investment risks, regulatory requirements, procedures and time delays, including fees and charges and for opening and/or operating such demat account and compliance with all applicable Indian regulations relating to opening and/or operating such demat account. Holders of ADSs are advised to consult their investment and/or tax advisors, if any, for risks with respect to the setting up of an Indian demat account and the transfer of shares of Common Stock by the custodian to such demat account and to anticipate certain time delays.

The shares of Common Stock delivered to a holder of ADSs upon the redemption of such ADSs cannot be reconverted into ADSs. Note that the Bank of New York Mellon will charge a fee of $5.00 or less per 100 American Depositary Shares (or portion thereof) which will be payable by the holder.

Holders of ADSs are advised to consult their investment advisors, if any, for additional risks with respect to each holder’s conversion of shares of ADSs into Common Stock.

A holder of ADSs should make sure that he, she or it (or, his, her or its custodian in India) has a valid Indian demat account in order to accept the delivery of the Shares from the Domestic Custodian upon the cancellation of the ADSs.

The process of setting up a demat account entails the submission of certain forms and ‘know your client’ (“KYC”) documents per the requirements of the depository participant with which the demat account is being set up. The nature of the forms and KYC documents vary depending on the depository participant.

Opening and/or operating an Indian demat account could be subject to certain costs, taxes, investment risks, regulatory requirements, procedures and time delays, including obtaining a Permanent Account Number (“PAN”), fees and charges for opening and/or operating such demat account and compliance with all applicable Indian regulations relating to opening and/or operating such demat account.

The Promoters have appointed Morgan Stanley India Financial Services Private Limited (“Morgan Stanley”) to set up Indian demat accounts for holders of ADSs. The Promoters intend to pay the administrative fees of setting up an Indian demat account by a ADS holder with Morgan Stanley in order to facilitate the participation of such ADS holder in the Subsequent Offering Period of the Delisting Offer, provided that such ADS holder desires Morgan Stanley’s services. ADS holders also have the option to open their demat accounts with a demat account provider of their choice at their own cost and expense. Holders of ADSs who use their own demat account provider are advised to consult their investment and/or tax advisors, if any, for risks with respect to the opening and/or operating of an Indian demat account and the transfer of Shares by the Domestic Custodian to such demat account.

To set up a demat account with Morgan Stanley, ADS holders are urged to contact:

United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH UNITED STATES TREASURY DEPARTMENT CIRCULAR 230, SHAREHOLDERS AND HOLDERS OF ADSs ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT: (A) ANY DISCUSSION OF UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX ISSUES IN THIS DOCUMENT IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE RELIED UPON, AND CANNOT BE RELIED UPON BY SHAREHOLDERS, FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON SHAREHOLDERS UNDER THE UNITED STATES INTERNAL REVENUE CODE; (B) SUCH DISCUSSION IS WRITTEN IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN; AND (C) SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM THEIR OWN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISORS.

The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of Common Stock participating in the Delisting Offer. It is not a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations relating to the disposition of Common Stock or ADSs. The discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations thereunder, published rulings, court decisions, and the India—U.S. Income Tax Treaty, all as currently in effect and all subject to change at any time, perhaps with retroactive effect. No assurance can be given that the IRS will agree with the views expressed in this discussion, or that a court will not sustain any challenge by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) in the event of litigation.

This discussion deals only with U.S. Holders that hold Common Stock of the Company or ADSs as “capital assets” within the meaning of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not include any description of the tax laws of any state, local, municipal or non–U.S. government that may be applicable to a particular investor and does not consider any aspects of U.S. federal tax law other than income taxation. In addition, this discussion does not address the tax considerations that may be relevant to certain types

of investors subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws (such as banks or other financial institutions, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, partnerships or other pass–through entities or investors in such entities, investors liable for the alternative minimum tax, individual retirement accounts and other tax–deferred accounts, tax–exempt organizations, dealers in securities or currencies, U.S. Holders who acquired their Common Stock or ADSs pursuant to the exercise of stock options or other compensation arrangements with the Company, investors that hold Common Stock or ADSs as part of a straddle or hedging, constructive sale, integrated or conversion transactions for U.S. federal tax purposes, a person that actually or constructively owns more than 10% of the voting power of the Company, traders in securities that have elected the mark–to–market method of accounting for their securities, or U.S. Holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar).

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of Common Stock or ADSs that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (a) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S.; (b) a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (c) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or (d) a trust (i) if a court within the U.S. can exercise primary supervision over its administration, and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of the substantial decisions of that trust, or (ii) that was in existence on August 20, 1996, and validly elected under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to continue to be treated as a domestic trust.

If a partnership or an entity or an arrangement that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Common Stock or ADSs, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partner and the partnership. Partners in partnerships that hold Common Stock or ADSs should consult their tax advisors.

The discussion below assumes that the representations contained in the ADS deposit agreement are true and that the obligations in the ADS deposit agreement and any related agreements will be complied with in accordance with their terms.

Conversion of ADSs into Common Stock

A withdrawal of Common Stock from the ADS facility should not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, a U.S. Holder of ADSs should not recognize gain or loss on such withdrawal, such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its Common Stock received on withdrawal should equal its tax basis in its ADSs immediately prior to such withdrawal, and such U.S. Holder’s holding period in the Common Stock received should include its holding period in the ADSs exchanged.

Disposition of Common Stock pursuant to the Delisting Offer

The disposition of Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the Delisting Offer will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the Company has never been a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) during the time in which a U.S. Holder held its Common Stock or ADSs (including the current taxable year), a U.S. Holder will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized pursuant to Delisting Offer and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its Common Stock tendered. Any gain or loss will be long–term capital gain or loss if the holding period for the Common Stock is more than one year as of the date of sale. A U.S. Holder’s ability to deduct capital losses is subject to limitations.

The amount realized by a U.S. Holder that disposes of Common Stock pursuant to the Delisting Offer will be based upon (i) the amount of U.S. Dollars received pursuant to the Delisting Offer (including any Indian tax withheld from the gross proceeds of such sale), in the case of a U.S. Holder that receives U.S. Dollars, and (ii) the U.S. Dollar value of the Indian Rupees received pursuant to the Delisting Offer determined on the date of receipt by such U.S. Holder (including any Indian tax withheld from the gross proceeds of such sale), in the case

of any cash–basis U.S. Holder that receives Indian Rupees. An accrual-basis U.S. Holder that receives Indian Rupees in the exchange may elect the same treatment required of a cash–basis taxpayer with respect to the disposition of Common Stock pursuant to the Delisting Offer, provided that the election is applied consistently from year to year. Such election cannot be changed without the consent of the IRS. An accrual–basis U.S. Holder that receives Indian Rupees in the exchange and that does not elect to be treated as a cash–basis taxpayer (pursuant to the U.S. Department of Treasury regulations applicable to foreign currency transactions) for this purpose may recognize a foreign currency gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes because of differences between the U.S. Dollar value of the Indian Rupees received prevailing on the date of such disposition and the value prevailing on the date of payment. Any such currency gain or loss generally will be treated as ordinary income or loss and as U.S.–source income or loss.

If, however, the Company is a PFIC for its current taxable year or has been a PFIC in any taxable year in which a U.S. Holder held Common Stock or ADSs, certain adverse U.S. tax consequences would apply to a U.S. Holder upon its disposition of Common Stock pursuant to the Delisting Offer (unless the U.S. Holder has in a prior taxable year made a mark–to–market election with respect to its holding of the Common Stock). In particular, gain recognized by a U.S. Holder on the disposition of Common Stock in the Tender Offer would be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for its Common Stock and ADSs. The amounts allocated to the taxable year of the sale or other disposition and to any year before the Company became a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, and an interest charge would be imposed on the tax liability attributable to such allocated amounts.

PFIC status depends upon the composition of the Company’s income and assets and the market value of its assets determined from time to time. Although the Company has stated in its Annual Report in its most recent Form 20–F that it does not believe that it was a PFIC for the year to which such report relates, there can be no assurances that this determination will be respected by the IRS, nor can there be any assurances regarding the Company’s PFIC status in years prior to such determinations or to the current taxable year. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors concerning the Company’s PFIC status.

As is discussed in further detail in the Letter of Offer, which is attached as an exhibit to this Schedule TO and attached hereto, India will impose withholding tax upon the sale of Common Stock for a gain by certain U.S. Holders pursuant to the Delisting Offer. Because any gain or loss recognized on such sale will generally be U.S. source gain or loss, as a result of the U.S. foreign tax credit limitations, any Indian taxes withheld in respect of such sale may not be currently creditable unless a U.S. Holder has other foreign source income for the year in the appropriate U.S. foreign tax credit limitation basket. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their ability to credit any Indian tax withheld against their U.S. federal income tax liability.

Exchange of Foreign Currencies

A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in Indian Rupees received pursuant to the Delisting Offer (if any) will be the U.S. dollar value of such Indian Rupees at the time described above. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder on a sale, exchange or other disposal of the Indian Rupees will be ordinary income or loss and generally will be U.S. source income or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.

Backup Withholding

Sales proceeds that are received within the U.S. or made through certain U.S.–related financial intermediaries generally are subject to information reporting and to backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding and establishes such exempt status. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup

withholding may be credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, and you may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules.

The discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations set forth above is included for general information only. Due to the individual nature of tax consequences, shareholders and ADS holders are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the specific tax consequences to them of the Delisting Offer, including the effects of applicable state, local or other tax laws.

Significant Corporate Events

On January 10, 2011, the Promoters entered into certain definitive agreements to acquire a majority stake in Patni (the “Patni Acquisition”). The Patni Acquisition involved acquiring 60.1 million shares or 45.6% of the then outstanding share capital from the then promoters of Patni (43.6% of the then outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis) and 22.9 million shares (inclusive of the American Depositary Shares representing 20.2 million shares) or 17.4% of the then outstanding share capital of Patni from General Atlantic Mauritius Limited (16.6% of the then outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis). In accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeover) Regulations, 1997, as amended, and a tender offer pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the COMMISSION, the Promoters made a mandatory open public offer on April 8, 2011 to the other shareholders of Patni to purchase up to an additional 20.6% of the then outstanding shares of Patni (20% of the then outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis). The mandatory open offer closed on April 27, 2011 and was oversubscribed.

On May 12, 2011, the Promoters completed the Patni Acquisition. The Patni Acquisition was valued at $1.2 billion.

On April 10, 2012, at the expiration of the Initial Offering Period of the Delisting Offer, the Promoters accepted the Discovered Price of Rs. 520 per Share and accepted bids for 15,992,267 Shares made at or below Rs. 520 per Share and the shareholders of the Company who had validly tendered their Shares at or below such price were paid the consideration of Rs. 520 per Share.

Under Patni’s Articles of Association, Patni’s board of directors is required to consist of not less than three directors and not more than 12 directors. Patni’s Articles of Association also provide that iGATE and the Promoters have the right to appoint the majority of Patni’s board of directors. In connection with the Patni Acquisition, iGATE and the Promoters appointed Phaneesh Murthy and Shashank Singh to Patni’s board in February 2011 and Göran Lindahl in May 2011.

As discussed under “Special Factors-Patni Fairness Determination—Patni’s Position Regarding Procedural Fairness,” the interested directors did not participate in the Patni board deliberations on the delisting proposal and the interested directors did not vote on the Delisting Proposal at the November 16, 2011 board meeting. See “Special Factors Special Factors-Patni Fairness Determination—Patni’s Position Regarding Procedural Fairness.”
