Business Context and Reporting Period
This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed by Genpact Limited on June 6, 2011. The filing discloses the entry into material definitive agreements regarding the company's shareholder structure and registration rights involving General Electric Company (GE), General Atlantic LLC, Oak Hill Capital Management, LLC, and Wells Fargo & Company.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. This report focuses exclusively on legal agreements and corporate governance changes rather than financial performance data.
Material Changes and Agreements
- Termination of GE Rights: Amendment No. 3 to the Shareholders Agreement was executed, removing GE's rights and obligations under the original agreement.
- Restructuring of Shareholder Agreements: A Second Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement was entered into with Genpact Investment Co. (Bermuda) Limited ("GICo"), General Atlantic, Oak Hill, and Wells Fargo. This reflects the termination of GE's rights and provides for the distribution of GICo's shares to General Atlantic and Oak Hill, followed by GICo's dissolution.
- Registration Rights:
- Shareholders: The new agreement grants shelf registration rights, demand registration rights, and piggyback rights to GICo (and subsequently General Atlantic and Oak Hill).
- GE: A separate Registration Rights Agreement grants GE demand registration rights (with a 91-day voluntary blackout period) and piggyback rights.
- Expenses and Indemnification: Genpact agreed to pay certain expenses and provide indemnification to the selling shareholders and GE in connection with these agreements.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not contain financial guidance, management commentary on future performance, or specific risk factors beyond the legal obligations outlined in the new agreements. The primary contingency noted is the planned distribution of GICo shares and the subsequent dissolution of that entity.
