This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed by Genpact Limited on March 28, 2017, regarding events occurring on March 27, 2017. The filing details the completion of a private offering of senior notes by Genpact Luxembourg S.à r.l., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Genpact Limited.
Key Financial Metrics and Debt Structure
- Debt Issuance: $350 million aggregate principal amount of 3.700% Senior Notes due 2022.
- Interest Rate: 3.700% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears starting October 1, 2017.

- Use of Proceeds: Repayment of outstanding loans under the revolving credit facility and general corporate purposes (including potential acquisitions and share repurchases).
The filing does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, or operating margins as this is a transactional report rather than a periodic financial statement.
Material Changes and Covenants
The primary material change is the addition of $350 million in long-term debt. Key terms include:
- Redemption: Notes may be redeemed prior to March 1, 2022, at 100% of principal plus a "make-whole" premium. On or after March 1, 2022, they may be redeemed at 100% of principal.
- Rating Adjustments: The interest rate is subject to adjustment if Moody's or S&P downgrades the credit rating.
- Change of Control: Upon a change of control repurchase event, Genpact Luxembourg must offer to repurchase the Notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount plus accrued interest.
- Covenants: Includes limitations on incurring secured debt, sale and leaseback transactions, and asset transfers.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Registration Rights: Genpact and Genpact Luxembourg entered into a Registration Rights Agreement requiring an exchange offer or shelf registration within 455 days of issuance (by June 25, 2018). Failure to meet this deadline constitutes a "Registration Default," triggering an interest rate increase of 0.25% per annum for 90-day periods, capped at a 0.50% total increase.
Market Risks: Initial purchasers and their affiliates may hedge their credit exposure through credit default swaps or short positions in Genpact securities, which could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the exact amount of the revolving credit facility repaid with the net proceeds.
- Confirm the current credit ratings assigned by Moody's and S&P to assess potential interest rate adjustments.
- Review the specific terms of the "make-whole" premium calculation for early redemption.
- Monitor the status of the exchange offer or shelf registration statement to ensure compliance with the June 25, 2018, deadline to avoid interest rate penalties.
