"Cash generation was strong during the quarter. Executing on the capital
allocation strategy announced in April 2018, we have announced a share buyback
program and a special dividend."
2. Capital Allocation Policy
The Board in its meeting held today approved the following:
- Buyback of Equity Shares, from the open market route through the Indian
stock exchanges, amounting to Indian Rupees 8,260 crore (Maximum
Buyback Size) (approximately $1,184 million) at a price not exceeding
Indian Rupees 800 per share
(Maximum Buyback Price) (approximately $11.46 per share), subject to
shareholders' approval by way of Postal Ballot, and
- A Special Dividend ofIndian Rupees 4/- per share (approximately $0.06
per share)that would result in a payout of approximately Indian
Rupees 2,107 crore(approximately $302 million) (including dividend
distribution tax)
After the execution of the above, along with the special dividend
(including dividend distribution tax) of Indian Rupees 2,633 crore ($386
million) already paid in June 2018, the Company would complete the distribution
of Indian Rupees 13,000 crore, which was announced as part of its capital
allocation policy in April 2018.
As the USD/INR* exchange rates have moved from April 2018 when the capital
allocation policy was announced, the total capital allocation in US$ terms
amounts to $1,872 million (comprising $1,184 million pertaining to buyback as
mentioned above, $386 million towards special dividend paid in June 2018 and
$302 million towards special dividend to be paid to shareholders in January
2019).

3. Assets Held for Sale
The company had earlier classified its subsidiaries Kallidus & Skava
(together referred to as "Skava") and Panaya as "Held for Sale". During the
quarter ended December 31, 2018, based on evaluation of proposals received and
progress of negotiations with potential buyers, the Company concluded that it
is no longer highly probable that sale would be consummated by March 31, 2019.
Accordingly, Panaya and Skava have been de-classified from "held for sale" in
accordance with the requirements of IFRS 5.
On de-classification, the Company recognized additional depreciation and
amortization expenses of $12 million and a reduction of $65 million in the
carrying value for Skava. The impact of the same on the Basic Earnings Per
Share was a decrease of $0.02 for the quarter ended December 31, 2018.The
Company plans to repurpose Skava's micro services based business and refocus
Panaya's suite of products.

the Board approved the re-appointment of Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw as the Lead
Independent Director from April 1, 2019 to March 22, 2023, subject to
shareholder' approval.
