The
Board of Directors of TechM has recommended to issue two fully paid up
Equity Shares of Rs. 10 each of TechM for every 17 fully paid Equity
Shares of Rs. 2 each of MSAT. As the other amalgamating companies are
wholly owned by TechM/MSAT, no shares would be issued to shareholders of
these companies.

The Bombay Stock Exchange and the National
Stock Exchange have conveyed to the Company, their no-objection under
Clause 24(f) of the Listing Agreement to the said Scheme. TechM has also
received approval of Competition Commission of India for the said
Scheme. The Scheme was approved by the requisite majority of the equity
shareholders of TechM and MSAT in the court convened meetings held on
7th June, 2012 and 8th June, 2012 respectively. A Separate Special
Resolution was also passed at the above mentioned meeting of the equity
shareholders of TechM held on 7th June, 2012, whereas the requisite
majority of the equity shareholders approved the reduction of its
securities premium account. Thereafter, TechM, Venturbay, C&S,
Logisoft and CanvasM had filed Petitions on 25th June, 2012 respectively
with the Honourable Bombay High Court seeking approval for the proposed
Scheme. The Petitions were admitted by the Honourable Bombay High Court
on 20th July, 2012 and the Honourable Bombay High Court has approved
the Scheme of Amalgamation and passed an order to that effect on 28th
September, 2012. MSAT had filed its Petition on 27th June, 2012 with the
Honourable High Court of Andhra Pradesh, and the said petition was
admitted on 9th July, 2012. Hearing in the matter is concluded before

and the order is awaited.

The merger is effective only on the
last of the dates on which the certified copies of the orders of the
High Court of Judicature at Bombay and the High Court of Judicature at
Andhra Pradesh are filed with the Registrar of Companies (‘ROC’), Mumbai
