Recommended Acquisition of

WNS (HOLDINGS) LIMITED

by

CAPGEMINI S.E.

to be effected by means of a scheme of arrangement under Article 125 of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 (as amended)

This Document (including all information incorporated into this Document by reference to another source) should be read as a whole and in conjunction with the Forms of Proxy.

Your attention is drawn to Part I (Letter from the board of directors of WNS) of this Document, which contains the unanimous recommendation of the WNS Directors that you vote in favour of the Scheme Resolution at the Court Meeting and the Resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting. A further letter from the WNS Board explaining the Scheme appears in Part II (Explanatory Statement) of this Document. This comprises an explanatory statement in compliance with Article 126 of the Jersey Companies Law.

Action to be taken by WNS Shareholders is set out on pages 8 to 11 and at paragraph 20 of Part II (Explanatory Statement) of this Document. Whether or not they intend to attend the Court Meeting and/or the General Meeting in person, WNS Shareholders are asked to complete and return each of the enclosed Forms of Proxy relating to the Court Meeting and the General Meeting in accordance with the instructions printed thereon as soon as possible, but in any event so as to be received not later than 2.00 p.m. (London Time) on August 27, 2025 (in the case of the Form of Proxy relating to the Court Meeting) or 2.15 p.m. (London Time) on August 27, 2025 (in the case of the Form of Proxy relating to the General Meeting), or in the case of any adjournment, not later than 48 hours before the time fixed for the holding of the adjourned Meeting. WNS Shareholders may also vote online following the instructions set out in the Forms of Proxy, instead of submitting the Forms of Proxy by mail. Votes submitted online must be received not later than 2.00 p.m. (London Time) on August 27, 2025 (in the case of the Court Meeting) or 2.15 p.m. (London Time) on August 27, 2025 (in the case of the General Meeting).

If the Form of Proxy relating to the Court Meeting is not returned by WNS Shareholders so as to be received by the time mentioned above for return of the Form of Proxy relating to the Court Meeting, it may be handed to the Chair of the Court Meeting before the start of the Court Meeting and will still be valid. In order to effect this, it may be handed to the Chair in person at the Court Meeting. If the Form of Proxy relating to the General Meeting is not lodged by the relevant time, it will be invalid.

1

The entire cost of the solicitation of proxies to be used at the Court Meeting and the General Meeting will be borne by WNS.

Notices of the Court Meeting and the General Meeting, each of which will be held at the offices of Latham & Watkins LLP located at 99 Bishopsgate, London, EC2M 3XF, United Kingdom on August 29, 2025, are set out in Part VIII (Notice of Court Meeting) and Part IX (Notice of General Meeting) of this Document respectively. The Court Meeting will start at 2.00 p.m. (London Time) on that date and the General Meeting at 2.15 p.m. (London Time) or as soon thereafter as the Court Meeting is concluded or adjourned.

Beneficial Holders (being holders of a book entry, beneficial or otherwise controlling voting and economic interest in a WNS Share the legal ownership of which is held on their behalf by an Intermediary, and whose names do not therefore appear in the register of members) will not be entitled to attend, speak at, vote at or otherwise participate in either the Court Meeting or the General Meeting.

WNS has designated the Chair as the person whom WNS Shareholders may appoint as their proxy and WNS Shareholders are entitled to appoint one or more proxies. WNS Shareholders are strongly encouraged to appoint the Chair of each of the Court Meeting and the General Meeting as their proxy. If a WNS Shareholder wishes to appoint an individual other than the Chair to represent such WNS Shareholder at the Court Meeting and/or General Meeting, such WNS Shareholder may do so by crossing out the Chair on the Form of Proxy and inserting the name of that other individual in the blank space provided on the Form of Proxy. A proxyholder need not be a shareholder of WNS. If a WNS Shareholder is a corporation, its proxy must be executed by a duly authorized officer or properly appointed attorney.

It is important that, for the Court Meeting in particular, as many votes as possible are cast so that the Court may be satisfied that there is a fair representation of the opinion of WNS Shareholders. Whether or not they intend to attend and/or vote at the Court Meeting in person, WNS Shareholders are strongly advised to sign and return their Form of Proxy relating to the Court Meeting (or vote online) as soon as possible and in any event prior to the deadlines set out in this Document.

If you receive more than one Form of Proxy because you own WNS Shares registered in different names or addresses, each Form of Proxy should be completed and returned in respect of each name and address.

If the Form of Proxy relating to the Court Meeting is not returned by WNS Shareholders so as to be received by the time mentioned above for return of the Form of Proxy relating to the Court Meeting, it may be handed to the Chair of the Court Meeting before the start of the Court Meeting and will still be valid. In order to effect this, it may be handed to the Chair in person at the Court Meeting. If the Form of Proxy relating to the General Meeting is not lodged by the relevant time, it will be invalid.

How to revoke your proxy

WNS Shareholders can revoke their proxy by (i) giving WNS notice in writing deposited at WNS’ registered office at 22 Grenville Street, St Helier, Jersey JE4 8PX, Channel Islands (Attn: Mourant Secretaries (Jersey) Limited) before the commencement of the relevant Meeting or any adjournment thereof at which the proxy proposes to vote; (ii) depositing a new Form of Proxy with WNS’ registered office at 22 Grenville Street, St Helier, Jersey JE4 8PX, Channel Islands (Attn: Mourant Secretaries (Jersey) Limited) before the commencement of the relevant Meeting or any adjournment thereof at which the proxy proposes to vote (although it should be noted that the new Form of Proxy will only be a valid proxy, as opposed to being capable of revoking an earlier Form of Proxy, if deposited not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the relevant Meeting or any adjournment thereof at which the proxy proposes to vote); or (iii) attending in person and voting on a poll.

How to change your vote

WNS Shareholders may change their vote using the same method through which their original vote was submitted (online or mail), provided the new voting instructions are received by the same applicable proxy deadline (not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for the relevant Meeting or any adjournment thereof). Only the last validly submitted vote received before the deadline will be counted. Neither the completion and return of the Forms of Proxy, nor the submission of your vote online, will prevent you from attending, speaking at, and voting in person at the Court Meeting or the General Meeting if you are entitled to and wish to do so.

2

The WNS Shares represented by any valid Form of Proxy will be voted for or against, as the case may be, the Scheme Resolution at the Court Meeting and the Resolution at the General Meeting, in accordance with the specific instructions made by the WNS Shareholder on any voting card that may be called for with respect to the Scheme Resolution and the Resolution, and where a choice is specified in respect of any matter to be acted upon, will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the specification made on any voting card that may be called for. In the absence of any such specific instructions, such WNS Shares will be voted by the Chair of the Court Meeting or the General Meeting named in the Form of Proxy, as applicable, FOR the Scheme Resolution at the Court Meeting and in favour of the Resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting.

Record Date

The WNS Board has approved 10.00 p.m. (London Time) on July 29, 2025 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of WNS Shareholders entitled to receive notice of the Court Meeting and WNS Shareholders entitled to receive notice of the General Meeting and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. Shareholders of record at 10.00 p.m. (London Time) on the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of the Court Meeting and the General Meeting. This Document (which includes the notices of the Court Meeting and General Meeting) and the Forms of Proxy are being mailed to WNS Shareholders of record as at the Record Date and will be made available on WNS’ investor relations site at https://ir.wns.com, and will be filed with, or furnished to, the SEC. If you have sold or otherwise transferred part of your holding of or interest in WNS Shares, please retain the Meeting Materials and consult the stockbroker, bank or other agent (if any) through which the sale was effected.

Shareholder Helpline

If WNS Shareholders have any questions about the Meetings or the completion and return of the Forms of Proxy, or voting online, please contact Computershare by phone at +1 (800) 736-3001. Calls are charged at the standard geographic rate and will vary by provider. Calls from outside the United States will be charged at the applicable international rate.

Beneficial Holders

Beneficial Holders as of the Beneficial Holder Record Time will be entitled to instruct their broker or other Intermediary how to vote the WNS Shares in which they have a beneficial interest by completing and signing the materials provided to them in accordance with the instructions provided to them by their broker or other Intermediary.

Further Information

Pursuant to an engagement letter, WNS retained J.P. Morgan Securities, LLC (“J.P. Morgan”) as its exclusive financial advisor in connection with the Acquisition. J.P. Morgan was acting exclusively for the WNS Board, will not regard any other person as its client, will not be responsible to anyone other than WNS for providing the protections afforded to clients of J.P. Morgan and will not be responsible to any other person in connection with advising, in each case, in connection with the Acquisition or any other matter referred to herein. Neither J.P. Morgan nor any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or branches owes or accepts any duty, liability or responsibility whatsoever (whether direct, indirect, consequential, whether in contract, in tort, under statute or otherwise) to any other person, including any shareholder or creditor of WNS, in connection with the Acquisition, any statement contained herein or otherwise. The terms of the Transaction Agreement, including the Consideration to be paid to the Scheme Shareholders, were determined through arm’s length negotiations between WNS and Capgemini, and the decision to enter into the Transaction Agreement was solely that of the WNS Board and the Capgemini Board. Any advice provided by J.P. Morgan to the WNS Board was only one of the many factors considered by the WNS Board in its evaluation of the Acquisition and should not be viewed as determinative of the views of the WNS Board or management with respect to the Acquisition or the Consideration to be paid to the Scheme Shareholders.

Citigroup Global Markets Europe AG (“Citi”), which is regulated by the European Central Bank and the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht (BaFin)) and Bundesbank, is acting as financial adviser for Capgemini and for no one else in connection with the matters described in this Document, the Acquisition and will not be responsible to anyone other than Capgemini for providing the protections afforded to clients of Citi nor for providing advice in connection with the Acquisition, or any other matters referred to in this Document. Neither Citi nor any of its affiliates, directors or employees owes or accepts any duty, liability or responsibility whatsoever (whether direct or indirect, consequential, whether in contract, in tort, in delict, under statute or otherwise) to any person who is not a client of Citi in connection with this Document, any statement contained herein, the Acquisition or otherwise.

Certain terms used in this Document are defined in Part VII (Definitions).

IMPORTANT NOTICES

No person has been authorised to give any information or make any representations other than those contained in this Document and, if given or made, such information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorised by WNS, the WNS Directors, Capgemini, the Capgemini Directors or by J.P. Morgan or Citi or any other person involved in the Acquisition. Neither the delivery of this Document nor holding the Meetings, the Court Sanction Hearing, or filing the Court Order shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in the affairs of the WNS Group or the Capgemini Group since the date of this Document or that the information in, or incorporated into, this Document is correct as at any time subsequent to its date.

Overseas jurisdictions

This Document has been prepared for purposes of complying with the laws of Jersey and the United States and the rules of the SEC, respectively (to the extent applicable), and the information disclosed may be different from that which would have been disclosed if this Document had been prepared in accordance with the laws of jurisdictions outside Jersey and the United States. This Document is not a prospectus, or a prospectus exempted document.

The release, publication or distribution of this Document in, into or from jurisdictions other than Jersey or the United States may be restricted by the law or regulations of such jurisdictions, and any use in the United States may be subject to applicable United States laws and regulations. WNS Shareholders who are not resident in Jersey or the United States (“Overseas Shareholders”) or WNS Shareholders who are subject to the laws of other jurisdictions should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable requirements. In particular, the ability of Overseas Shareholders to vote their Scheme Shares with respect to the Scheme Resolution at the Court Meeting, or to appoint another person as proxy to vote at the Court Meeting on their behalf, may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are located. Any failure to comply with the applicable restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the companies and persons involved in the Acquisition disclaim any responsibility or liability for the violation of such restrictions by any person.

As regards Overseas Shareholders, the Acquisition may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions. Such Overseas Shareholders should inform themselves about and observe any applicable legal requirements. It is the responsibility of Overseas Shareholders to satisfy themselves as to the full observance of the laws of the relevant jurisdiction in connection therewith, including the obtaining of any governmental, exchange control or other consents which may be required, or the compliance with other necessary formalities which are required to be observed and the payment of any issue, transfer or other Taxes due in such jurisdiction.

Unless otherwise determined by Capgemini, and permitted by applicable law and regulation, the Acquisition will not be made available, directly or indirectly, in, into or from a Restricted Jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws of that jurisdiction and no person may vote in favour of the Scheme Resolution at the Court Meeting or the Resolution at the General Meeting by any use, means, instrumentality or form within a Restricted Jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction if to do so would constitute a violation of the laws of that jurisdiction. Accordingly, copies of this Document will not be and must not be, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in, into or from any Restricted Jurisdiction or any jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws of that jurisdiction, and persons receiving all documents relating to the Acquisition (including custodians, nominees and trustees) must not mail or otherwise forward, distribute or send them in or into or from any Restricted Jurisdiction or any other

4

jurisdiction if to do so would constitute a violation of the laws of that jurisdiction. This Document does not constitute an offer or an invitation to purchase or subscribe for any securities, or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, pursuant to the document or otherwise, in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful.

Overseas Shareholders are encouraged to consult their local tax and legal advisors with respect to the legal and tax consequences of the Scheme.

Further details in relation to Overseas Shareholders are contained in paragraph 17 of Part II (Explanatory Statement) of this Document. Your attention is also drawn to paragraph 16 of Part II (Explanatory Statement) of this Document, which sets out general information regarding the anticipated tax treatment of holders of Scheme Shares under the laws of Jersey, the United States or India. Such information is intended as a general guide only and is not tax advice. If you are in any doubt as to your tax position, or if you are subject to taxation in any jurisdiction other than Jersey, the United States or India, you should consult an appropriate independent professional tax adviser.

Additional information for US investors

The Acquisition is being made to acquire the securities of a Jersey company that is a “foreign private issuer” as defined under Rule 3b-4(c) under the US Exchange Act, and will be made by means of a members’ scheme of arrangement provided for under Jersey Companies Law. A transaction effected by means of a members’ scheme of arrangement is not subject to the tender offer rules or the proxy solicitation rules under the US Exchange Act. Accordingly, the Scheme is subject to the disclosure requirements and practices applicable in Jersey to schemes of arrangement, which differ from the disclosure requirements of the US tender offer rules and proxy solicitation rules and the US Securities Act. If, in the future, Capgemini and WNS mutually agree to implement the Acquisition by way of either a Jersey Merger or an Offer, the Acquisition will be made in compliance with applicable United States laws and regulations, including any applicable exemptions under the US Exchange Act.

The receipt of cash consideration by a US holder for the transfer of its Scheme Shares pursuant to the Scheme will be a taxable transaction for United States federal income tax purposes and under applicable United States state and local laws. In addition, WNS Shareholders may be required to provide an applicable IRS Form W-8 or W-9 in order to prevent any backup withholding tax on the cash consideration. Each WNS Shareholder is urged to consult their independent professional adviser immediately regarding the Tax consequences of the Acquisition applicable to them, including under applicable United States state and local laws.

WNS is formed under the laws of Jersey. In addition, some or all of its officers and directors reside outside the US, and some or all of its assets are or may be located in jurisdictions outside the US. Therefore, investors may have difficulty effecting service of process within the US upon those persons or recovering against WNS or its officers or directors on judgments of US courts, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of US federal securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-US company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court’s judgment. It may not be possible to sue WNS or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of US securities laws.

None of the securities referred to in this Document have been approved or disapproved by the SEC, any state securities commission in the United States or any other US regulatory authority, nor have such authorities passed upon or determined the adequacy or accuracy of the information contained in this Document. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.

Forward-looking statements

This Document and the documents incorporated herein include certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the US Securities Act, as amended, and Section 21E of the US Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements generally include statements related to the Acquisition, including financial estimates and statements as to the expected timing, completion and effects of the Acquisition, and the potential delisting of the WNS Shares from the NYSE and deregistration under the US Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements are based on WNS’ current expectations, estimates and projections regarding, among other things, the expected date of closing and the potential benefits of the Acquisition, WNS’ business and industry, and management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by WNS, all of which are subject to change. Forward-looking statements often contain words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “aims,” “plan,”

5

“believe,” “could,” “seek,” “see,” “will,” “may,” “would,” “might,” “considered,” “potential,” “estimate,” “continue,” “likely,” “expect,” “target,” “project,” or similar expressions or the negatives of these words or other comparable terminology that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to: the Acquisition will not be consummated on a timely basis or at all; the possibility that any or all of the various conditions to the consummation of the Acquisition may not be satisfied or waived, including the failure to receive the required shareholder approval for the Scheme or any required regulatory approvals from any applicable governmental entities (or any conditions, limitations or restrictions placed on such approvals); the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Transaction Agreement; the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Acquisition on the Company’s business relationships, operating results, and business generally; risks that the Acquisition disrupts the Company’s current plans and operations; potential difficulties in WNS’ employee retention as a result of the proposed transaction; there may be liabilities that are not known, probable or estimable at this time or unexpected costs, charges or expenses; the Acquisition may result in the diversion of management’s time and attention to issues relating to the Acquisition; there may be significant transaction costs in connection with the Acquisition; unfavorable outcome of legal proceedings that may be instituted against WNS following the announcement of the Acquisition; and the risk that WNS’ stock price may decline significantly if the Acquisition is not consummated. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the Acquisition, are more fully discussed in this Document. In addition, a number of important factors could cause WNS’ actual future results and other future circumstances to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements, including but not limited to those important factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in WNS’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, as any such factors may be updated from time to time in its other filings with the SEC, accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, and WNS’ investor relations site at https://ir.wns.com. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and, except as may be required under applicable law, WNS undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

No Profit Forecasts or Estimates

Neither the Capgemini Group nor the WNS Group intends or undertakes any obligation to update information contained in this Document, except as may be required under applicable law.

WNS Shareholders should be aware that Capgemini may purchase WNS Shares other than pursuant to the Scheme (or the Jersey Merger or the Offer if the Acquisition is implemented as such) including pursuant to privately negotiated purchases.

The statements in this Document are not to be construed as legal, business, financial or tax advice.

ACTION TO BE TAKEN

For the reasons set out in this Document, the WNS Board unanimously recommends that WNS Shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme Resolution at the Court Meeting and WNS Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution at the General Meeting, as each of the WNS Directors has irrevocably undertaken to do, or procure, in respect of all of the WNS Shares of which they are the registered or beneficial holder, being an aggregate of 520,798 WNS Shares (representing, in aggregate, approximately 1.21 per cent of the issued share capital of WNS in issue on the Latest Practicable Date).

1.      Documents

Please check that you have received the following:

        a Form of Proxy in respect of the Court Meeting on August 29, 2025; and

        a Form of Proxy in respect of the General Meeting on August 29, 2025.

If WNS Shareholders have not received any of these documents, please contact the shareholder helpline on the number indicated below.

The Record Date has been set as 10.00 p.m. (London Time) on July 29, 2025. WNS prepared a list of WNS Shareholders of record at such time. WNS Shareholders named on that list are entitled to receive notice of the Court Meeting and the General Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof.

2.      Voting at the Court Meeting and the General Meeting

It is important that, for the Court Meeting in particular, as many votes as possible are cast so that the Court may be satisfied that there is a fair representation of the opinion of WNS Shareholders. Whether or not WNS Shareholders intend to attend and/or vote in person at the Court Meeting, they are strongly advised to sign and return their Form of Proxy relating to the Court Meeting (or vote online) as soon as possible and in any event prior to the deadlines set out in this Document.

The Scheme will require approval at a meeting of WNS Shareholders convened with the permission of the Court to be held at the offices of Latham & Watkins LLP located at 99 Bishopsgate, London, EC2M 3XF, United Kingdom. Implementation of the Scheme will also require approval of the Resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting. The General Meeting will also be held at the offices of Latham & Watkins LLP located at 99 Bishopsgate, London, EC2M 3XF, United Kingdom.

WNS has designated the Chair as the person whom WNS Shareholders may appoint as their proxy. WNS Shareholders are strongly encouraged to appoint the Chair of each of the Court Meeting and the General Meeting as their proxy. If a WNS Shareholder wishes to appoint an individual other than the Chair to represent such WNS Shareholder at the Court Meeting and/or General Meeting, such WNS Shareholder may do so by crossing out the Chair on the Form of Proxy and inserting the name of that other individual in the blank space provided on the Form of Proxy. A proxyholder need not be a shareholder of WNS. If a WNS Shareholder is a corporation, its proxy must be executed by a duly authorized officer or properly appointed attorney.

WNS Shareholders are strongly encouraged to submit proxy appointments and instructions for the Court Meeting and the General Meeting by mail as soon as possible, and in any event prior to the deadlines set out in this Document. WNS Shareholders may also vote online following the instructions set out in the Forms of Proxy, instead of submitting the proxy appointments by mail.

WNS Shareholders are required to submit proxy voting instructions in respect of the relevant Meeting not later than 48 hours before the relevant Meeting (or in the case of any adjournment, not later than 48 hours before the time fixed for the adjourned Meeting) or, in the case of the Form of Proxy relating to the Court Meeting by handing it to the Chair of the Court Meeting in person before the start of the Court Meeting as further described below.

WNS Shareholders may appoint more than one proxy provided that each proxy is appointed in respect of different WNS Shares held by such holder. WNS Shareholders who wish to appoint more than one proxy should contact Computershare to request additional Forms of Proxy.

8

If you receive more than one Form of Proxy because you own WNS Shares registered in different names or addresses, each Form of Proxy should be completed and returned in respect of each name and address.

The WNS Shares represented by any valid Form of Proxy will be voted for or against, as the case may be, the Scheme Resolution at the Court Meeting and the Resolution at the General Meeting, in accordance with the specific instructions made by the WNS Shareholder on any voting card that may be called for with respect to the Scheme Resolution and the Resolution, and where a choice is specified in respect of any matter to be acted upon, will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the specification made on any voting card that may be called for. In the absence of any such specific instructions, such WNS Shares will be voted by the Chair of the Court Meeting or the General Meeting named in the Form of Proxy, as applicable, FOR the Scheme Resolution at the Court Meeting and in favour of the Resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting.

Neither the completion and return of the Forms of Proxy, nor the submission of your vote online, will prevent you from attending, speaking at, and voting at the Court Meeting or the General Meeting if you are entitled to and wish to do so.

Upon the Scheme becoming Effective, it will be binding on all Scheme Shareholders (including all Beneficial Holders) holding Scheme Shares at the Scheme Record Time, irrespective of whether or not they attended or voted in favour of, or against, the Scheme Resolution at the Court Meeting or in favour of, or against, or abstained from voting on the Resolution at the General Meeting.

Sending Forms of Proxy by mail

WNS Shareholders are requested to complete and sign the Forms of Proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return them to WNS’ registered office at 22 Grenville Street, St Helier, Jersey JE4 8PX, Channel Islands (Attn: Mourant Secretaries (Jersey) Limited), so as to be received as soon as possible and in any event not later than the relevant times set out below:

2.00 p.m.(London Time) on August 27, 2025

Form of Proxy for the General Meeting

 

2.15 p.m.(London Time) on August 27, 2025

or, if a Meeting is adjourned, not later than 48 hours before the time fixed for the adjourned Meeting.

If the Form of Proxy relating to the Court Meeting is not returned by WNS Shareholders so as to be received by the time mentioned above for return of the Form of Proxy relating to the Court Meeting, it may be handed to the Chair of the Court Meeting before the start of the Court Meeting and will still be valid. In order to effect this, it may be handed to the Chair in person at the Court Meeting. If the Form of Proxy relating to the General Meeting is not lodged by the relevant time, it will be invalid.

Voting online

WNS Shareholders may also vote online following the instructions set out in the Forms of Proxy, instead of submitting the relevant Forms of Proxy by mail. Votes submitted online must be received not later than 2.00 p.m. (London Time) on August 27, 2025 (in the case of the Court Meeting) or 2.15 p.m. (London Time) on August 27, 2025 (in the case of the General Meeting).

WNS Shareholders can revoke their proxy by (i) giving WNS notice in writing deposited at WNS’ registered office at 22 Grenville Street, St Helier, Jersey JE4 8PX, Channel Islands (Attn: Mourant Secretaries (Jersey) Limited) before the commencement of the relevant Meeting or any adjournment thereof at which the proxy proposes to vote; (ii) depositing a new Form of Proxy with WNS’ registered office at 22 Grenville Street, St Helier, Jersey JE4 8PX, Channel Islands (Attn: Mourant Secretaries (Jersey) Limited) before the commencement of the relevant Meeting or any adjournment thereof at which the proxy proposes to vote (although it should be noted that the new Form of Proxy will only be a valid proxy, as opposed to being capable of revoking an earlier Form of Proxy, if deposited not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the relevant Meeting or any adjournment thereof at which the proxy proposes to vote); or (iii) attending in person and voting on a poll.

How to change your vote

WNS Shareholders may change their vote using the same method through which their original vote was submitted (online or mail), provided the new voting instructions are received by the same applicable proxy deadline (not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for the relevant Meeting or any adjournment thereof). Only the last validly submitted vote received before the deadline will be counted.

3.      Beneficial Holders

The information set forth in this section is of importance to Beneficial Holders, as a substantial number of WNS Shares are held by Intermediaries on behalf of Beneficial Holders. Beneficial Holders should note that only proxies deposited by WNS Shareholders (that is, individuals or entities whose names appear on the records maintained by the transfer agent for the WNS Shares as registered holders of WNS Shares) will be recognised and acted upon at the Court Meeting and General Meeting. If WNS Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Beneficial Holder by an Intermediary, those WNS Shares will, in all likelihood, be registered in the name of the Intermediary (or its agent). The vast majority of such WNS Shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC.

The Meeting Materials will be sent to each Beneficial Holder by or on behalf of the Intermediary that holds WNS Shares on their behalf. Intermediaries will typically use a service company to forward the Meeting Materials. The majority of Intermediaries now delegate responsibility for obtaining shareholder instructions from clients to Broadridge. Broadridge typically mails a Voting Instruction Form in lieu of the Form of Proxy. Beneficial Holders are requested to vote in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Voting Instruction Forms. Broadridge will provide aggregate WNS Shareholder voting instructions to the relevant Intermediary (or its tabulation agent), which will tabulate the results for the Court Meeting and General Meeting and provide appropriate instructions with respect to the voting of the WNS Shares to be represented at the Court Meeting and the General Meeting or the reconvening of any adjourned or postponed meeting.

Applicable securities regulatory policy requires Intermediaries, on receipt of materials that seek voting instructions from Beneficial Holders indirectly, to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Holders in advance of meetings of security-holders. Every Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Holders in order to ensure that their wishes are expressed at the Court Meeting and the General Meeting or the reconvening of any adjourned or postponed meeting. Often, the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Holder by its broker is identical to the form of proxy provided to WNS Shareholders; however, its purpose is limited to instructing the relevant WNS Shareholder that is an Intermediary on how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Holder. In the ordinary course, Beneficial Holders’ securities can only be voted by their Intermediaries in accordance with the Beneficial Holders’ instructions. Beneficial Holders should carefully follow the instructions provided by their Intermediaries in order to ensure that their wishes in respect of the WNS Shares that they control are reflected at the Court Meeting and General Meeting or the reconvening of any adjourned or postponed meeting.

Beneficial Holders of WNS Shares are strongly advised to vote in accordance with the instructions sent to them by their Intermediary.

Beneficial Holders will not be entitled to attend, speak at, vote at, or otherwise participate in either the Court Meeting or the General Meeting.

Beneficial Holders as of the Beneficial Holder Record Time will however be entitled to instruct their broker or other Intermediary how to vote the WNS Shares in which they have a beneficial interest by completing and signing the materials provided to them in accordance with the instructions provided to them by their broker or other Intermediary.

Beneficial Holders are entitled to switch from being a Beneficial Holder to a WNS Shareholder (so that the WNS Shares previously held by the relevant Intermediary will be held directly by them) by contacting their relevant Intermediary who can effect the switch in cooperation with the Company. By becoming a WNS Shareholder, they will then be entitled to attend and be heard at the Court Sanction Hearing, either in person or through a Jersey advocate, to support or oppose the Scheme, and/or may also submit written statements regarding the Scheme for the Court’s consideration. Such statements can be made by writing to Mourant Ozannes (Jersey) LLP, 22

To all WNS Shareholders

Dear Shareholder,

RECOMMENDED ACQUISITION OF WNS BY CAPGEMINI

1.      Introduction

On July 7, 2025, WNS and Capgemini announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which Capgemini would acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of WNS, to be effected by means of a members’ scheme of arrangement under Article 125 of the Jersey Companies Law.

The WNS Directors are writing to you to explain the background to and terms of the Acquisition, to encourage you to vote at the Meetings to be held on August 29, 2025 to consider the Scheme, and to explain why the WNS Board is unanimously recommending that WNS Shareholders vote in favour of the resolutions to be put to those Meetings.

2.      Summary of the terms of the Acquisition

It is proposed that the Acquisition be implemented by means of a members’ scheme of arrangement under Article 125 of the Jersey Companies Law, which requires the approval of WNS Shareholders at the Court Meeting and General Meeting and the sanction of the Royal Court of Jersey (the “Court”).

Under the terms of the Acquisition, Scheme Shareholders at the Scheme Record Time will receive:

 

in respect of each Scheme Share:

 

$76.50 in cash

The terms of the Acquisition represent a premium of approximately:

        28 per cent to the volume weighted average Closing Price per WNS Share for the 90 days prior to July 3, 2025 (being the last Business Day immediately prior to the public announcement of the Acquisition);

        27 per cent to the volume weighted average Closing Price per WNS Share for the 30 days prior to July 3, 2025 (being the last Business Day immediately prior to the public announcement of the Acquisition); and

        17 per cent to the Closing Price per WNS Share on July 3, 2025 (being the last Business Day immediately prior to the public announcement of the Acquisition).

The Acquisition is subject to the Conditions set out in Part A of Part III (Conditions to the Implementation of the Scheme and to the Acquisition) of this Document, including the sanction of the Scheme by the Court. The expected transaction timetable is set out on page 12 of this Document.

13

The Scheme Shares will be acquired by Capgemini at the Effective Date (or its nominee(s)) with all legal and beneficial title to all of the Scheme Shares, fully paid-up and free from all liens, equities, charges, encumbrances, rights of pre-emption and any other third party rights or interests whatsoever together with all rights existing at the Effective Date or thereafter attached thereto including (without limitation) the right to receive and retain, in full, all dividends and other distributions (if any) and any other return of capital (whether by way of reduction of share capital or share premium account or otherwise) announced, declared, made or paid on or after the Effective Time in respect of the Scheme Shares.

Further information about the Acquisition is provided in Part II (Explanatory Statement) of this Document.

3.      Background to and strategic rationale for the Acquisition

WNS completed its initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange on July 26, 2006, pricing at $20.00 per American Depositary Share. Since becoming a publicly traded company, in the ordinary course, both the WNS Board and WNS’ senior management regularly review and assess WNS’ operations, financial performance and industry conditions in light of the current business and economic environment and in furtherance of WNS’ long-term business strategy to enhance value for WNS stakeholders. As a matter of practice, this review at times included, among other things, the consideration of potential opportunities for business combinations, acquisitions and other financial and strategic alternatives for WNS, including continuing as a standalone company. WNS has also regularly engaged with its shareholders and external advisors including consulting firms and investment bankers to discuss and solicit their perspectives on WNS’ strategic direction.

Prior to WNS’ engagement with Capgemini on the Acquisition, in early December 2024, WNS received a non-binding letter of intent from a financial sponsor to acquire WNS for $65.00 per share (“Party A”) and, in late February 2025, a non-binding offer from a strategic company (“Party B”) to acquire WNS in a cash/stock transaction valued at $72.00 per share. The WNS Board ultimately determined to decline Party A’s and Party B’s offers.

In early March 2025, the WNS Board agreed, following receipt of a non-binding offer from Capgemini, to a period of exclusivity and to provide Capgemini with access to customary due diligence in order to assess a potential Acquisition by Capgemini. During the exclusivity period, press articles were published highlighting that WNS had attracted acquisition interest, including that of Capgemini. Talks however were paused in late April due to a disagreement on price at the time. In mid-June 2025, WNS re-engaged in discussions with Capgemini, which led to a short period of confirmatory due diligence and negotiations before WNS and Capgemini entered into the Transaction Agreement.

The WNS Board carefully reviewed and considered the proposed Acquisition in consultation with WNS’ management, legal advisors, and financial advisors and has unanimously: (1) determined that the Transaction Agreement and the consummation of the Acquisition are advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, WNS and its shareholders; (2) approved the Transaction Agreement and the Acquisition; (3) authorized the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreement on its terms; (4) directed that, subject to the Transaction Agreement not having been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Scheme be submitted to the Court and submitted to a vote at the Meetings; and (5) resolved to recommend that the WNS Shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme Resolution at the Court Meeting and WNS Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution at the General Meeting.

In reaching their decision to approve the Transaction Agreement, and to recommend that WNS Shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme Resolution and the Resolution, the WNS Board considered the following positive reasons to support the Transaction Agreement:

        the fact that the price of $76.50 per share in cash payable in the Acquisition provides certainty, immediate value and liquidity to WNS Shareholders;

        the historical market prices, volatility and trading information with respect to the WNS Shares, including the market performance of WNS’ shares relative to those of other participants in the industry and general market indices, including after the press articles mentioned above, and the fact that the $76.50 per share to be received by WNS Shareholders in the Acquisition represents a premium of:

        28 per cent to the volume weighted average Closing Price per WNS Share for the 90 days prior to July 3, 2025 (being the last Business Day immediately prior to the public announcement of the Acquisition);

14

        27 per cent to the volume weighted average Closing Price per WNS Share for the 30 days prior to July 3, 2025 (being the last Business Day immediately prior to the public announcement of the Acquisition); and

        17 per cent to the Closing Price per WNS Share on July 3, 2025 (being the last Business Day immediately prior to the public announcement of the Acquisition);

        the current and prospective business environment in which WNS operates, including international, national and local economic conditions, the competitive environment and the likely effect of these factors on WNS and the execution of WNS’ plans as a standalone company;

        the belief that, after extensive negotiations with Capgemini and their representatives, $76.50 per share was the highest price that Capgemini was willing to pay and that the terms of the Transaction Agreement include the most favorable terms to WNS, in the aggregate, to which Capgemini was willing to agree;

        the view of the WNS Board that the $76.50 per share in cash payable in the Acquisition was more favorable to the WNS Shareholders on a risk-adjusted basis than the potential value that might result from other alternatives reasonably available to WNS, based upon the directors’ knowledge of WNS’ business, assets, financial condition and results of operations, its competitive position and historical and projected financial performance, and the belief that the Acquisition represented an attractive and comparatively certain value for the WNS Shareholders relative to the risk-adjusted prospects for WNS on a standalone basis;

        the fact that the WNS Board, with the assistance of its advisors, conducted a review of other potential strategic alternatives, including the other two offers received from counterparties for an acquisition of WNS, which the WNS Board determined were inferior to the $76.50 per share in cash offered by Capgemini in the Acquisition;

        the belief that, based on discussions with other potential counterparties, that there were no other potential counterparties that were likely to make an offer which was competitive to the offer from Capgemini in respect of the Acquisition;

        the belief of the WNS Board, which has been advised by J.P. Morgan as to financial terms of the Acquisition, that the financial terms of the Acquisition are fair and reasonable;

        the high degree of certainty that closing of the Acquisition would be achieved in a timely manner in light of the conditions and other terms set forth in the Transaction Agreement;

        the Acquisition positions the combined WNS and Capgemini groups as a leader in the ‘Intelligent Operations’ market, facilitating the ability of the enlarged group to address clients’ goal of efficiency, speed and agility through process hyper-automation, whilst at the same time significantly improving business outcomes by combining data, AI and digital;

        the ability of WNS, prior to the Meetings and under certain circumstances, to provide information to and to engage in discussions or negotiations with a third party that makes an unsolicited acquisition proposal, as further described in paragraph 11.1 of Part II (Explanatory Statement) of this Document;

        the ability of the WNS Board, prior to the Meetings and in certain circumstances, to terminate the Transaction Agreement to enter into a superior proposal if the WNS Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel that the failure to take such action would breach its statutory or fiduciary duties under applicable law;

        representations by Capgemini in the Transaction Agreement that it will have on the Effective Date all funds necessary to pay the consideration and other amounts to consummate the Acquisition pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement;

        WNS’ rights to specific performance under the terms of the Transaction Agreement; and

        the likelihood that the Acquisition would be consummated, in light of the experience, reputation and financial capabilities of Capgemini.

15

In the course of its deliberations, the WNS Board also considered, among other things, the following negative factors:

        the fact that WNS Shareholders will not participate in any future growth potential or benefit from any future increase in the value of WNS;

        the possibility that the Acquisition will not be consummated and the potential negative effects on WNS’ business, operations, financial results and stock price;

        the potential negative effects of the public announcement of the Acquisition on WNS’ sales, operating results and stock price, its ability to retain key management, sales and marketing and other personnel, and its relationships with customers and partners;

        the restrictions on the conduct of WNS’ business prior to the consummation of the Acquisition, requiring WNS to conduct its business in the ordinary course and preventing WNS from taking certain specified actions, subject to specific limitations, all of which may delay or prevent WNS from undertaking business opportunities pending completion of the Acquisition;

        the significant costs involved in connection with entering into the Transaction Agreement and completing the Acquisition (many of which are payable whether or not the Transaction is consummated) and the substantial time and effort of WNS management required to complete the Acquisition, which may disrupt its business operations and have a negative effect on its financial results;

        if Capgemini fails to complete the Acquisition as a result of a breach of the Transaction Agreement in certain circumstances, remedies may be limited to the termination fee payable by Capgemini; and

        the fact that completion of the Acquisition requires the Court Order and certain Clearances including under applicable antitrust laws.

The WNS Board considered all of these factors and concluded as a whole that the uncertainties, risks and potentially negative factors relevant to the Acquisition were outweighed by the potential benefits that it expected WNS and its shareholders would achieve as a result of the Acquisition.

This discussion of the information and factors considered by the WNS Board includes the principal positive and negative factors considered by the WNS Board, but is not, and is not intended to be, exhaustive. In light of the variety of factors considered in connection with their evaluation of the Acquisition and the complexity of these matters, the WNS Board did not find it practicable to, and did not, quantify or otherwise attempt to rank or assign relative weights to the various factors considered in reaching their respective determinations. In considering the factors described above and any other factors, individual members of the WNS Board may have viewed factors differently or given different weight, merit or consideration to different factors. In addition, the WNS Board did not undertake to make any specific determination as to whether any particular factor, or any aspect of any particular factor, was favorable or unfavorable to the ultimate determination of the WNS Board, but rather the WNS Board conducted an overall review of the factors described above, including discussions with WNS’ senior management and legal and financial advisors.

The foregoing discussion of the reasoning of the WNS Board and certain information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, the information should be read in light of the factors discussed in the section of this Document captioned “Forward-looking statements.”

4.      Irrevocable Undertakings

Capgemini has received irrevocable and unconditional undertakings from each of the WNS Directors to vote (in person, by proxy or through irrevocable instructions to such director’s broker) in favour of the Scheme Resolution at the Court Meeting and the Resolution at the General Meeting (or any other resolution necessary or desirable to implement the Acquisition) in respect of all of the WNS Shares of which they are the registered or beneficial holder, being an aggregate of 520,798 WNS Shares (representing, in the aggregate, approximately 1.21 per cent of the issued share capital of WNS in issue on the Latest Practicable Date).

Further details of these irrevocable undertakings (including the circumstances in which they may lapse) are set out in paragraph 5 of Part VI (Additional Information) of this Document.

16

5.      WNS Share Plans

Details of the arrangements proposed to be implemented in relation to the WNS Share Plans in connection with the Acquisition are set out in paragraph 7 of Part II (Explanatory Statement) of this Document.

6.      WNS’ Current Trading and Prospects

For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, WNS reported revenue of $1,314.9 million and profit of $170.1 million.

For the subsequent three-month period ending June 30, 2025, WNS reported revenue of $353.8 million and profit of $21.8 million.

There has been no significant change in the financial or trading position of the WNS Group since June 30, 2025, being the date to which WNS’ last published interim consolidated financial statements were prepared.

7.      The Scheme and the Meetings

It is intended that the Acquisition will be implemented by means of a members’ scheme of arrangement pursuant to Articles 125 and 126 of the Jersey Companies Law, which requires the approval of WNS Shareholders at the Court Meeting and General Meeting and the sanction of the Court. The purpose of the Scheme is to provide for Capgemini to become the owner of the entire issued and to be issued share capital of WNS.

The Scheme will only become Effective if, amongst other things, the Conditions are satisfied or (where applicable) waived on or before the Long Stop Date. Upon the Scheme becoming Effective: (i) it shall be binding on all WNS Shareholders (including all Beneficial Holders as at the Scheme Record Time), irrespective of whether or not they attended or voted at the Court Meeting or the General Meeting and, if they attended and voted, whether or not they voted in favour of or against the resolutions proposed at the Meetings; and (ii) share certificates and DRS statements in respect of WNS Shares will cease to be valid and should be destroyed, and entitlements to WNS Shares held through DTC will be cancelled.

It is important that, for the Court Meeting in particular, as many votes as possible are cast so that the Court may be satisfied that there is a fair representation of the opinion of WNS Shareholders. You are therefore urged to sign and return your Form of Proxy for the Court Meeting (or vote online) as soon as possible and in any event prior to the deadlines set out in this Document.

The Scheme will be governed by Jersey law and will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Court. The Scheme is not subject to the requirements of the UK Takeover Code or the Panel.

Further details of the Scheme and the Meetings are set out in paragraph 10 of Part II (Explanatory Statement) of this Document.

8.      Delisting and re-registration

Prior to the Scheme becoming Effective, a request will be made by WNS to the NYSE to cancel the listing of and trading in WNS Shares on its market for listed securities to take effect on, or shortly after, the Effective Date.

Upon the Effective Date, share certificates and DRS statements in respect of WNS Shares will cease to be valid and should be destroyed, and entitlements to WNS Shares held through DTC will be cancelled.

As soon as practicable after the Effective Date and after the cancellation of listing of and trading in WNS Shares on the NYSE’s market for listed securities, it is intended that WNS will be re-registered as a private company limited by shares.

9.      Taxation

Your attention is drawn to paragraph 16 of Part II (Explanatory Statement) of this Document. This summary is intended as a general guide only and is not tax advice. If you are in any doubt as to your tax position, or if you are subject to taxation in any jurisdiction other than Jersey, the United States or India, you should consult an appropriate independent professional tax adviser.

13.    Recommendation

The WNS Board, having consulted with J.P. Morgan, financial advisor to WNS in connection with the Acquisition, as to the financial terms of the Acquisition, and considering the reasons outlined in paragraph 3 above, considers the terms of the Acquisition to be fair and reasonable. In providing financial advice to the WNS Board, J.P. Morgan relied upon information prepared and approved for its use by WNS, including the commercial assessments of the WNS Board.

Accordingly, the WNS Board unanimously recommends that WNS Shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme Resolution at the Court Meeting and WNS Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution at the General Meeting, as each of the WNS Directors has irrevocably undertaken to do, or procure, in respect of all of the WNS Shares of which they are the registered or beneficial holder, being an aggregate of 520,798 WNS Shares (representing, in aggregate, approximately 1.21 per cent of the issued share capital of WNS in issue on the Latest Practicable Date).

Yours faithfully,

The board of directors of WNS (Holdings) Limited

To the holders of WNS Shares

Dear Shareholder,

RECOMMENDED ACQUISITION OF WNS BY CAPGEMINI

1.      Introduction

On July 7, 2025, WNS and Capgemini announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which Capgemini would acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of WNS, to be effected by means of a members’ scheme of arrangement under Article 125 of the Jersey Companies Law.

Further details of these irrevocable undertakings (including the circumstances in which they may lapse) are set out in paragraph 5 of Part VI (Additional Information) of this Document.

10.    Description of the Scheme and the Meetings

10.1  The Scheme

The Acquisition is to be implemented by means of a members’ scheme of arrangement between WNS and the Scheme Shareholders, pursuant to Articles 125 and 126 of the Jersey Companies Law, which requires the approval of WNS Shareholders at the Court Meeting and sanction of the Scheme by the Court. The Scheme is set out in full in Part IV (The Scheme of Arrangement) of this Document.

The purpose of the Scheme is to provide for Capgemini to become the holder of the entire issued and to be issued share capital of WNS. The Scheme involves an application by WNS to the Court to sanction the Scheme pursuant to which the Scheme Shares will be transferred to Capgemini or its nominee(s) in consideration for which the Scheme Shareholders on the register of members at the Scheme Record Time will receive the Consideration. The transfer of the Scheme Shares to Capgemini, provided for in the Scheme, will result in the entire issued and to be issued share capital of WNS being held by Capgemini and WNS becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Capgemini.

Prior to the Scheme Record Time, WNS may allot and issue WNS Shares pursuant to the vesting, settlement and/or exercise of awards under the WNS Share Plans. WNS will not issue any shares after the Scheme Record Time until the Scheme has become Effective.

22

The expected timetable of principal events for the Acquisition and Scheme is set out on page 12 of this Document. It is currently expected that the Scheme will become effective by the end of 2025, subject to the satisfaction or (where applicable) waiver of all the relevant Conditions.

10.2  WNS Meetings

Before the Court’s sanction can be sought for the Scheme, the Scheme requires approval by the passing of the Scheme Resolution at the Court Meeting. The Scheme Resolution must be approved by a majority in number of the WNS Shareholders representing 75 per cent or more of the votes cast by those WNS Shareholders who (being entitled to do so) vote, in person or by proxy, at the Court Meeting (or at any adjournment or postponement of such meeting).

In addition, one of the Conditions is that the Resolution must be passed at the General Meeting to authorise the WNS Directors to take all such action as they may consider necessary or appropriate for implementing the Scheme, including a resolution to amend the articles of association of WNS for the purpose of giving effect to the Scheme. The Resolution requires approval by two-thirds or more of the votes cast by those WNS Shareholders who (being entitled to do so) vote, in person or by proxy, at the General Meeting. The General Meeting will be held immediately after the Court Meeting.

Notices of the Court Meeting and the General Meeting are set out in Part VIII (Notice of Court Meeting) and Part IX (Notice of General Meeting) of this Document, respectively.

As set out in paragraph 9 of this Part II (Explanatory Statement) of this Document, Capgemini has received, in aggregate, irrevocable undertakings to vote (or to procure the voting) in favour of the Scheme Resolution at the Court Meeting and the Resolution at the General Meeting in respect of all of the WNS Shares of which they are the registered or beneficial holder, being an aggregate of 520,798 WNS Shares representing, in aggregate, approximately 1.21 per cent of the issued share capital of WNS in issue on the Latest Practicable Date.

Entitlement to attend and vote at the Meetings and the number of votes which may be cast at the Meetings will be determined by reference to the register of members at the Voting Record Time. All holders of WNS Shares whose names appear on the register of members at the Voting Record Time, or, if any such Meeting is adjourned, on the register of members at 10.00 p.m. (London Time) on the date which is two Business Days before the date set for such adjourned meeting, will be entitled to attend and vote at the Court Meeting and the General Meeting in person or by proxy, in respect of the WNS Shares registered in their name at the relevant time.

The Chair of the relevant Meeting will ensure that relevant matters relating to the formal business of the Meeting are addressed in the relevant Meeting.

If WNS Shareholders are in any doubt as to whether or not they are permitted to vote at either the Court Meeting or the General Meeting or have any questions in relation to the completion and return of the Forms of Proxy, or voting online, please contact Computershare by phone at +1 (800) 736-3001 between the hours of 8.00 a.m. and 8.00 p.m. (New York Time) on weekdays and 9.00 a.m. and 5.30 p.m. (New York Time) on Saturdays.

(a)     Court Meeting

The Court Meeting has been convened at the direction of the Court for 2.00 p.m. (London Time) on August 29, 2025 for WNS Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Scheme.

At the Court Meeting, voting will be by poll (and not on a show of hands) and each WNS Shareholder present, in person or by proxy, will be entitled to one vote for each WNS Share held as at the Voting Record Time. The Scheme Resolution must be approved by a majority in number of the WNS Shareholders representing 75 per cent or more of the votes cast by those WNS Shareholders who (being entitled to do so) vote, in person or by proxy, at the Court Meeting (or at any adjournment or postponement of such meeting).

The quorum for the Court Meeting consists of two WNS Shareholders present in person together representing not less than one-third of the total voting rights of all the WNS Shareholders entitled to vote at the Court Meeting. Under the Articles, ‘present in person’ in relation to general meetings of WNS and to meetings of the holders of any class of shares, includes present by attorney or by proxy or, in the case of a corporate shareholder, by representative.

23

It is important that, for the Court Meeting in particular, as many votes as possible are cast so that the Court may be satisfied that there is a fair representation of the opinion of WNS Shareholders. Whether or not you intend to attend and/or vote at the Court Meeting, WNS Shareholders are strongly advised to sign and return your Form of Proxy for the Court Meeting (or vote online) as soon as possible and in any event prior to the deadlines set out in this Document.

Neither the completion and return of the Form of Proxy relating to the Court Meeting, nor the submission of your vote online, will prevent you from attending, speaking at, and voting at the Court Meeting, if you are entitled to and wish to do so.

The WNS Shares represented by any valid Form of Proxy relating to the Court Meeting will be voted for or against, as the case may be, the Scheme Resolution at the Court Meeting, in accordance with the specific instructions made by the WNS Shareholder on any voting card that may be called for with respect to the Scheme Resolution and where a choice is specified in respect of any matter to be acted upon, will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the specification made on any voting card that may be called for. In the absence of any such specific instructions, such WNS Shares will be voted by the Chair of the Court Meeting named in the Form of Proxy FOR the Scheme Resolution at the Court Meeting.

(b)    General Meeting

The General Meeting has been convened for 2.15 p.m. (London Time) on August 29, 2025, or as soon after that time as the Court Meeting has been concluded or adjourned, for WNS Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, pass the Resolution.

The Resolution is proposed to approve:

        giving the WNS Board the authority to take all such action as they may consider necessary or appropriate for carrying the Scheme into effect; and

        amending the Articles as described in paragraph 10.3 below.

At the General Meeting, voting on the Resolution will be by poll (and not on a show of hands) and each WNS Shareholder present, in person or by proxy, will be entitled to one vote for each WNS Share held as at the Voting Record Time. The Resolution requires approval by two-thirds or more of the votes cast by those WNS Shareholders who (being entitled to do so) vote, in person or by proxy, at the General Meeting.

The quorum for the General Meeting consists of two WNS Shareholders present in person together representing not less than one-third of the total voting rights of all the WNS Shareholders entitled to vote at the General Meeting. Under the Articles, ‘present in person’ in relation to general meetings of WNS and to meetings of the holders of any class of shares, includes present by attorney or by proxy or, in the case of a corporate shareholder, by representative.

Neither the completion and return of the Form of Proxy relating to the General Meeting, nor the submission of your vote online, will prevent you from attending, speaking at, and voting at the General Meeting if you are entitled to and wish to do so.

The WNS Shares represented by any valid Form of Proxy relating to the General Meeting will be voted for or against, as the case may be, the Resolution at the General Meeting, in accordance with the specific instructions made by the WNS Shareholder on any voting card that may be called for with respect to the Resolution and where a choice is specified in respect of any matter to be acted upon, will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the specification made on any voting card that may be called for. In the absence of any such specific instructions, such WNS Shares will be voted by the Chair of the General Meeting named in the Form of Proxy FOR the Resolution at the General Meeting.

(c)     Court Sanction Hearing

Pursuant to Article 125 (2) of the Jersey Companies Law, the Scheme requires the sanction of the Court. The hearing by the Court to sanction the Scheme is currently expected to be held by the end of 2025 subject to the prior satisfaction or waiver of the other Conditions set out in Part III (Conditions to the Implementation of the Scheme and to the Acquisition) of this Document.

24

WNS Shareholders are entitled to attend and be heard at the Court Sanction Hearing, either in person or through a Jersey advocate, to support or oppose the Scheme, and/or may also submit written statements regarding the Scheme for the Court’s consideration. Such statements can be made by writing to Mourant Ozannes (Jersey) LLP, 22 Grenville Street, St Helier, Jersey JE4 8PX, Channel Islands marked “FAO James Hill/WNS Scheme” but must be received no later than 5.00 p.m. (London Time) on the day which is three Business Days prior to the Court Sanction Hearing. The Company will disclose the date of the Court Sanction Hearing by public announcement on WNS’ investor relations site at https://ir.wns.com and a filing with the SEC after it has been scheduled and not less than 14 days before the Court Sanction Hearing.

Beneficial Holders are entitled to switch from being a Beneficial Holder to a WNS Shareholder (so that the WNS Shares previously held by the relevant Intermediary will be held directly by them) by contacting their relevant Intermediary who can effect the switch in cooperation with the Company. By becoming a WNS Shareholder, they will then be entitled to attend and be heard at the Court Sanction Hearing, either in person or through a Jersey advocate, to support or oppose the Scheme, and/or may also submit written statements regarding the Scheme for the Court’s consideration. Such statements can be made by writing to Mourant Ozannes (Jersey) LLP, 22 Grenville Street, St Helier, Jersey JE4 8PX, Channel Islands marked “FAO James Hill/WNS Scheme” but must be received no later than 5.00 p.m. (London Time) on the day which is three Business Days prior to the Court Sanction Hearing.

Following sanction of the Scheme by the Court, the Scheme will become effective in accordance with its terms upon a copy of the Court Order being delivered to the Registrar of Companies.

Upon the Scheme becoming Effective, it will be binding on all Scheme Shareholders (including all Beneficial Holders as at the Scheme Record Time), irrespective of whether or not they attended the Meetings or voted in favour of, or against, the Scheme Resolution at the Court Meeting or in favour of, or against, or abstained from voting on the Resolution at the General Meeting.

If the Scheme does not become Effective by the Long Stop Date, the Scheme will not become Effective and the Acquisition will not proceed.

10.3  Amendments to the Articles

It is proposed, in the Resolution, to amend the Articles to ensure that any WNS Shares issued under the WNS Share Plans or otherwise issued, transferred out of treasury or transferred to any person (other than Capgemini or its nominee(s)) between the Voting Record Time and the Scheme Record Time will be subject to the Scheme. It is also proposed to amend the Articles so that any WNS Shares issued, transferred out of treasury or transferred to any person (including on an exercise of an option over such shares) other than Capgemini or its nominee(s) at or after the Scheme Record Time will be automatically acquired by Capgemini on the same terms as under the Scheme (other than terms as to timing and formalities).

The Resolution set out in the notice of the General Meeting in Part IX (Notice of General Meeting) of this Document seeks the approval of WNS Shareholders for such amendments.

10.4  Entitlement to vote at the Meetings

All holders of WNS Shares whose names appear on the register of members at the Voting Record Time (expected to be 10.00 p.m. (London Time) on August 27, 2025) will be entitled to attend and vote on all resolutions to be put to the Court Meeting and the General Meeting (as applicable) (in each case, in person or by proxy). If either Meeting is adjourned, only WNS Shareholders on the register of members at 10.00 p.m. (London Time) on the day which is two Business Days before the adjourned meeting will be entitled to attend and vote (in each case, in person or by proxy). Each eligible WNS Shareholder is entitled to appoint a proxy or proxies to attend and, on a poll, to vote, instead of him or her. A proxy need not be a WNS Shareholder.

Neither the completion and return of the Forms of Proxy, nor the submission of your vote online, will prevent you from attending, speaking at, and voting at the Court Meeting or the General Meeting if you are entitled to and wish to do so.

The WNS Shares represented by any valid Form of Proxy will be voted for or against, as the case may be, the Scheme Resolution at the Court Meeting and the Resolution at the General Meeting, in accordance with the specific instructions made by the WNS Shareholder on any voting card that may be called for with respect to the Scheme Resolution and the Resolution, and where a choice is specified in respect of any matter to be acted upon, will be voted or withheld

25

from voting in accordance with the specification made on any voting card that may be called for. In the absence of any such specific instructions, such WNS Shares will be voted by the Chair of the Court Meeting or the General Meeting named in the Form of Proxy, as applicable, FOR the Scheme Resolution at the Court Meeting and in favour of the Resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting.

As further described in paragraph 20.2 of this Part II (Explanatory Statement), Beneficial Holders (being holders of a book entry, beneficial or otherwise controlling voting and economic interest in a WNS Share the legal ownership of which is held on their behalf by an Intermediary, and whose names do not therefore appear in the register of members) will not be entitled to attend, speak at, vote at or otherwise participate in either the Court Meeting or the General Meeting.

Beneficial Holders as of the Beneficial Holder Record Time will be entitled to instruct their broker or other Intermediary how to vote the WNS Shares in which they have a beneficial interest by completing and signing the materials provided to them in accordance with the instructions provided to them by their broker or other Intermediary.

If WNS Shareholders are in any doubt as to whether or not they are permitted to vote at either the Court Meeting or the General Meeting or have any questions in relation to the completion and return of the Forms of Proxy, or voting online, please contact Computershare by phone at +1 (800) 736-3001.

Further information on the actions to be taken is set out on pages 8 to 11 and at paragraph 20 of Part II (Explanatory Statement) of this Document.

10.5  Modifications to the Scheme

The Scheme contains a provision for WNS and Capgemini jointly to consent (on behalf of all persons concerned) to any modification of, or addition to, the Scheme or to any condition which the Court may approve or impose. The Court would be unlikely to approve or impose any modification of, or addition or condition to, the Scheme which might be material to the interests of Scheme Shareholders unless Scheme Shareholders were informed of any such modification, addition or condition. It would be for the Court to decide, in its discretion, whether or not a further meeting of Scheme Shareholders should be held in those circumstances.

10.6  Conditions to the Acquisition

The Conditions to the Acquisition are set out in full in Part III (Conditions to the Implementation of the Scheme and to the Acquisition) of this Document, and the Scheme shall only become Effective, if, among other things, the following events occur on or before the Long Stop Date. In summary, the Acquisition is conditional upon, among other things:

(a)     the expiration or earlier termination of any applicable waiting period and receipt of regulatory consents, approvals and clearances, in each case, under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, under the U.K. Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended, and under relevant antitrust, and competition legislation required in certain other jurisdictions;

(b)    the sanctioning of the Scheme by the Court;

(c)     the absence of any law or order restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Acquisition;

(d)    the accuracy of each of Capgemini’s and WNS’ representations and warranties, subject to certain materiality qualifiers set forth in the Transaction Agreement;

(e)     the performance or compliance in all material respects with each of WNS’ and Capgemini’s obligations under the Transaction Agreement;

26

(f)     no occurrence of any WNS Material Adverse Effect; and

(g)    the approval of the Scheme by the requisite majority of WNS Shareholders, as relevant, at the Court Meeting and the General Meeting.

Provided, however, that the deadline for the Scheme to become Effective may be extended by agreement between WNS and Capgemini.

Upon the Scheme becoming Effective: (i) it shall be binding on all WNS Shareholders (including all Beneficial Holders as at the Scheme Record Time), irrespective of whether or not they attended or voted at the Court Meeting or the General Meeting and, if they attended and voted, whether or not they voted in favour of or against the resolutions proposed at the Meetings; and (ii) share certificates and DRS statements in respect of WNS Shares will cease to be valid and should be destroyed, and entitlements to WNS Shares held through DTC will be cancelled.

10.7  Permitted Switch to an Offer

Under the terms of the Transaction Agreement, Capgemini may elect, with the prior written approval of WNS (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to implement the Acquisition by way of an Offer (rather than by way of a Scheme).

In the event Capgemini and WNS agree to implement the Acquisition by way of an Offer, in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement, the Offer will be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Transaction Agreement (with any additions, deletions, modifications or amendments to such terms and conditions as may be necessary solely as a result of a switch from the Scheme to the Offer). If the Acquisition is implemented by way of an Offer the acceptance condition to the Offer shall be set at 90 per cent (or such lesser percentage as Capgemini and WNS may agree) of the WNS Shares to which the Offer relates.

Following a decision to implement the Acquisition by way of an Offer, the irrevocable and unconditional undertakings received by Capgemini would continue to apply, requiring the shareholders who have entered into such undertakings to accept the Offer. Further details of these irrevocable undertakings (including the circumstances in which they may lapse) are set out in paragraph 5 of Part VI (Additional Information) of this Document.

10.8  Permitted Switch to a Jersey Merger

Under the terms of the Transaction Agreement, Capgemini may elect, with the prior written approval of WNS (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to implement the Acquisition by way of a Jersey Merger (rather than by way of the Scheme) (a “Permitted Switch”).

In the event of a Permitted Switch, in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement, the parties shall enter into the Jersey Merger Agreement for the Jersey Merger on substantially the same terms as the Transaction Agreement but modified or amended insofar as is necessary solely as a result of the Permitted Switch and otherwise to incorporate the information required by Article 127D of the Jersey Companies Law and convene the relevant meeting(s) of the Company in order to pass the relevant WNS shareholder resolutions to approve the Jersey Merger.

Following a Permitted Switch, the irrevocable and unconditional undertakings received by Capgemini would continue to apply, requiring the shareholders who have entered into such undertakings to vote (or procure the vote) in favour of any resolutions to implement the Acquisition to be voted on at any general meeting or class meeting of WNS Shareholders and any meeting of WNS Shareholders convened by the Court in connection with the Jersey Merger. Further details of these irrevocable undertakings (including the circumstances in which they may lapse) are set out in paragraph 5 of Part VI (Additional Information) of this Document.

11.    Acquisition-related arrangements

11.1  Transaction Agreement

Each of Capgemini and WNS entered into the Transaction Agreement on July 6, 2025 in connection with the Acquisition.

The Transaction Agreement contains customary representations and warranties from WNS and Capgemini for a transaction of this type. It also contains customary covenants for a transaction of this type, including covenants providing for each of the parties to use their reasonable best efforts to consummate the Acquisition as promptly as

27

reasonably practicable, and covenants requiring WNS, subject to certain exceptions: (i) to conduct its business in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice during the period between the execution of the Transaction Agreement and the earlier of the Effective Date and the date of termination of the Transaction Agreement; and (ii) not to solicit or encourage any proposals relating to alternative transactions, or enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, or provide any non-public information to, any person with respect thereto, subject to certain customary exceptions to permit the WNS Board to comply with their statutory or fiduciary duties under the laws of Jersey.

Under the Transaction Agreement, completion of the Acquisition is expected to be implemented by means of a scheme of arrangement under the laws of Jersey and is subject to the satisfaction (or, where applicable, waiver) of the Conditions. Capgemini’s obligations under the Transaction Agreement are not subject to any financing condition.

As further described in paragraphs 10.7 and 10.8 of this Part II (Explanatory Statement) of this Document, under certain circumstances Capgemini may elect, with the prior written approval of WNS (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to implement the Acquisition by way of a Jersey Merger or by way of an Offer in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement rather than a Scheme.

Under the Transaction Agreement, Capgemini is entitled to receive a termination fee of $118 million from WNS if the Transaction Agreement is terminated by WNS under certain specified circumstances, including if WNS terminates to accept an alternative acquisition proposal, which the WNS Board, after taking advice from WNS’ financial and legal advisors and giving Capgemini an opportunity to improve the terms of the Acquisition, determines to be superior to the Acquisition proposal and that failure to accept would breach the statutory and fiduciary duties of the WNS Board.

11.2  Confidentiality Agreement

Capgemini and WNS entered into a confidentiality letter on March 16, 2025 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) pursuant to which Capgemini has undertaken, among other things, to keep confidential information relating to WNS and not to disclose it to third parties (other than permitted recipients) unless, among other circumstances, required by law, regulations or the rules of any stock exchange on which either party has securities listed. These obligations will remain in force for 18 months from the date of the Confidentiality Agreement. The Confidentiality Agreement further includes customary non-solicitation and standstill obligations on Capgemini.

12.    Compensation Arrangements of WNS Group Chief Executive Officer

Change of control — equity

Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement between WNS and Mr. Murugesh (the “Employment Agreement”) and each applicable award agreement in relation to the grant of WNS RSUs to Mr. Murugesh, upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Company’s 2016 Incentive Award Plan), all unvested WNS RSUs awarded to Mr. Murugesh (namely, 402,249 WNS RSUs as of the Latest Practicable Date) will automatically accelerate and be deemed vested.

Effective as of July 22, 2025, WNS and Mr. Murugesh agreed to extend the term of his employment with WNS until the earlier of August 5, 2026 or the Closing Date, on substantially the same terms and conditions of employment as in the Employment Agreement.

It is expected that the completion of the Acquisition will constitute a change of control for the purposes of the Company’s 2016 Incentive Award Plan.

13.    Re-Registration and de-listing

Prior to the Scheme becoming Effective, a request will be made by WNS to the NYSE to cancel the listing of and trading in WNS Shares on its market for listed securities to take effect on, or shortly after, the Effective Date.

Upon the Effective Date, share certificates and DRS statements in respect of WNS Shares will cease to be valid and should be destroyed, and entitlements to WNS Shares held through DTC will be cancelled.

As soon as practicable after the Effective Date and after the cancellation of listing of and trading in WNS Shares on the NYSE’s market for listed securities, it is intended that WNS will be re-registered as a private company limited by shares.

14.    WNS Directors and the effect of the Scheme on their interests

Details of the interests of the WNS Directors in the share capital of WNS, and awards in respect of such share capital, are set out in paragraph 4 of Part VI (Additional Information) of this Document (which is incorporated by reference in full into this explanatory statement). All WNS RSUs held by WNS Directors shall become vested in full in connection with the Acquisition. WNS Shares held by WNS Directors will be subject to the Scheme.

Except as specified in the paragraph above and the transaction bonus for Mr. Murugesh described in paragraph 8 of this Part II (Explanatory Statement) of this Document, the effect of the Scheme on the interests of the WNS Directors does not differ from the effect of the Scheme on the interests of other persons.

15.    Settlement

Subject to the Scheme becoming Effective, settlement of the Consideration to which any Scheme Shareholder is entitled will be effected in the manner set out below.

Prior to closing of the Acquisition, Capgemini will select a nationally recognized bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to WNS to act as paying agent for the payment of the Consideration (“Paying Agent”) and enter into a paying agent agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to WNS, with such Paying Agent. Capgemini will pay all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the retention and engagement of the Paying Agent. On the Closing Date, Capgemini will deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the WNS Shareholders, cash in an amount equal to the aggregate Consideration net of any required withholding of Taxes. All cash deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence is referred to as the “Payment Fund.”

As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event within three Business Days after the Effective Time, Capgemini will direct the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding WNS Shares (the “Certificates”) or non-certificated Scheme shares represented by book-entry (the “Book-Entry Shares”) that is entitled to receive the Consideration a letter of transmittal, which will be in such form and have such other provisions as Capgemini and the Paying Agent may reasonably specify. The Paying Agent agreement will require that each holder of WNS Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Consideration (less any required deduction for Tax) will be entitled to receive the Consideration in respect of the WNS Shares represented by a Certificate, within two Business Days upon delivery to the Paying Agent of a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal, or receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) in the case of Book-Entry Shares, and, in each case, delivery to the Paying Agent of such other information and documents as may be reasonably requested by the Paying Agent. The Paying Agent will accept such letters of transmittal, “agent’s message” with respect to Book-Entry Shares or other documents upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Paying Agent may impose to effect orderly payments of the Consideration in accordance with normal payment practices. Payment of the Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares will only be made to the person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. Each Certificate and Book-Entry Share will be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Consideration as contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, without interest thereon. Any portion of the Payment Fund which has not been transferred to the holders of WNS Shares within 12 months of the Effective Time will be delivered to Capgemini or its designee(s) promptly upon request by Capgemini, it being understood that no such delivery will affect any legal right that a WNS Shareholder may have to receive the Consideration. None of Capgemini, WNS or the Paying Agent or any of their respective affiliates or representatives or agents will be liable to any person in respect of any Consideration (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) from the Payment Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof (such affidavit to be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer and the Paying Agent), the Consideration payable in respect thereof; provided, however, that Capgemini may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to deliver a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as Capgemini may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Capgemini and its Subsidiaries or the Paying Agent with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

16.    Taxation

This summary is intended as a general guide only and is not tax advice. If you are in any doubt as to your tax position, or if you are subject to taxation in any jurisdiction other than Jersey, the United States or India, you should consult an appropriately qualified independent professional tax adviser.

WNS assumes no responsibility to inform WNS Shareholders of new laws, interpretations of law, or court decisions, any of which may take effect retroactively, that does or may cause any statement in this section below to be inaccurate.

16.1  Jersey taxation

The comments set out below are intended as a general guide only to certain Jersey stamp duty and transfer tax considerations applicable to the Scheme and do not constitute tax advice. Specifically, the comments do not deal with any other Jersey tax considerations which may be relevant for WNS Shareholders who are resident in Jersey.

Under current Jersey tax legislation, no stamp duty or other transfer tax is chargeable on the transfer of shares in a Jersey company unless such transfer conveys the right to occupy Jersey property. Therefore, no Jersey stamp duty or transfer tax is expected to be payable by Scheme Shareholders on the transfer of their Scheme Shares.

16.2  US federal income taxation

The following is a discussion of the material US federal income tax consequences of the receipt of cash consideration in exchange for Scheme Shares pursuant to the Scheme, but does not purport to be a complete analysis or description of all potential US federal income tax consequences of the Scheme. This discussion is based upon the provisions of the US Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the US Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decision, published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), all as in effect as of the date of hereof and all of which are subject to change or varying interpretation, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such changes could affect the accuracy of the statements and conclusions set forth herein. We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the matters discussed below. The IRS may not agree with the Tax consequences described in this discussion.

This discussion assumes that holders of Scheme Shares hold their Scheme Shares as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of US federal income taxation that may be relevant to a holder of Scheme Shares in light of such holder’s particular circumstances, nor does it discuss the special considerations applicable to holders of Scheme Shares subject to special treatment under the US federal income tax laws, such as, for example, financial institutions or broker-dealers, mutual funds, partnerships or other pass-through entities and their partners or members, tax-exempt organizations, retirement or other tax-deferred accounts, insurance companies, dealers in securities or non-US currencies, traders in securities who elect mark-to-market methods of accounting, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, holders subject to the alternative minimum tax, holders who hold their Scheme Shares as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale or conversion transaction, US holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the US dollar, accrual method holders who prepare an “applicable financial statement” (as defined in Section 451 of the Code), holders who acquired their Scheme Shares through the exercise of an employee stock option or otherwise as compensation and holders who hold (directly, indirectly or constructively) 10 per cent or more of the Scheme Shares. In addition, this discussion does not address any Tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-US jurisdiction or US federal non-income tax consequences (e.g., the federal estate or gift tax or the application of the Medicare tax on net investment income under Section 1411 of the Code). This discussion also does not address any Tax consequences arising under Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code (such Sections commonly referred to as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or “FATCA”). This discussion also assumes that the Permitted Switch is not implemented.

If an entity or arrangement which is treated as a partnership for US federal income tax purposes holds Scheme Shares, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding Scheme Shares, you should consult your own tax advisor.

30

All holders should consult their own tax advisor to determine the particular Tax consequences to them (including the application and effect of any state, local or non-US income and other tax laws) of the receipt of cash consideration in exchange for Scheme Shares pursuant to the Scheme.

For purposes of this discussion, and the discussion set forth in paragraph 5 of Part IV of this Document, the term “US holder” means a beneficial owner of Scheme Shares that is, for US federal income tax purposes:

        an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

        a corporation (including any entity treated as a corporation for US federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

        a trust if (1) its administration is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more US persons, within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in effect under applicable US Treasury Regulations to be treated as a US person for US federal income tax purposes; or

        an estate, the income of which is subject to US federal income tax regardless of its source.

A “non-US holder” is a beneficial owner (other than a partnership or an entity classified as a partnership for US federal income tax purposes) of Scheme Shares that is not a US holder.

(a)    Material US Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Scheme to US holders

The receipt of cash consideration in exchange for Scheme Shares pursuant to the Scheme will be a taxable transaction for US federal income tax purposes. A US holder generally will recognize gain or loss for US federal income tax purposes equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of cash consideration received pursuant to the Scheme and (ii) such US holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Scheme Shares surrendered in exchange therefor, as applicable. Subject to the discussion below concerning the “passive foreign investment company” rules, such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder’s holding period for such shares exceeds one year as of the date of the Scheme. Long-term capital gains for certain non-corporate US holders, including individuals, are currently generally eligible for a reduced rate of US federal income taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

If a US holder acquired different blocks of Scheme Shares at different times or at different prices, such US holder must determine its tax basis, holding period, and gain or loss separately with respect to each block of Scheme Shares.

A non-US corporation, such as WNS, will be classified as a “passive foreign investment company” (a “PFIC”) for any taxable year if, after the application of certain “look-through” rules, (i) at least 75 per cent of its gross income is “passive income” as that term is defined in the relevant provisions of the Code (e.g., dividends, interest, royalties, or gains on the disposition of certain minority interests), or (ii) at least 50 per cent of the average value of its assets consists of assets that produce, or are held for the production of, “passive income.” WNS is not expected to be classified as a PFIC for US federal income tax purposes, but this conclusion is a factual determination made annually and, thus, is subject to change. If WNS were classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a US holder held WNS Shares such classification could result in adverse tax consequences to such US holder, and different US federal income tax consequences from those described above may apply to the receipt of cash consideration by such US holder in exchange for Scheme Shares. These consequences may include having gains realized on the receipt of cash consideration in exchange for Scheme Shares treated as ordinary income rather than capital gain and being subject to punitive interest charges on such gains. US holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential application of the PFIC rules to their disposition of Scheme Shares in connection with the Scheme.

(b)    Material US Federal Income Tax Consequences to Non-US holders

Subject to the discussion under paragraph 16.2(c) below any gain recognized on the receipt of cash consideration pursuant to the Scheme by a non-US holder generally will not be subject to US federal income tax unless (i) the gain is effectively connected with a US trade or business of such non-US holder (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is also attributable to a permanent establishment or, in the case of an individual, a fixed base in the United States maintained by such non-US holder), in which case the non-US holder generally will be subject to Tax on such income or gain in the same manner as a US holder and, if the non-US holder is a non-US corporation, such corporation may be subject to branch profits tax at the rate of 30 per cent on the effectively connected gain (or such lower rate as may

31

be specified by an applicable income tax treaty), or (ii) the non-US holder is a non-resident alien individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the Scheme and certain other conditions are met, in which case the non-US holder generally will be subject to tax at a 30 per cent rate (or a lower applicable income tax treaty rate) on any such US source gain (other than gain effectively connected with a US trade or business), which may be offset by US source capital losses.

(c)     Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Holders of Scheme Shares may, under certain circumstances, be subject to information reporting and backup withholding (currently at a rate of 24 per cent) with respect to consideration received pursuant to the Scheme. Backup withholding generally will not apply if such holder properly establishes an exemption (including by establishing its status as a non-US holder) or provides its correct taxpayer identification number and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional Tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules can be refunded or credited against a holder’s US federal income Tax liability, if any; provided that such holder furnishes the required information to the IRS in a timely manner. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the information reporting and backup withholding requirements in connection with their receipt of consideration pursuant to the Scheme.

16.3  Indian taxation

This section describes the material Indian income tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the Scheme Shares for WNS Shareholders, in accordance with the provisions of the (Indian) Income Tax Act, 1961, as amended (the “IT Act”). Taxability in India under the IT Act varies for WNS Shareholders who are resident in India pursuant to the IT Act (“Indian Resident Investors”) and for those who are not resident in India pursuant to the IT Act (“Non-Resident Investors”).

This section is based upon the provisions of the IT Act that are in effect as of the date of this Document and upon the interpretations thereof as pronounced in the relevant judicial precedents (if any). The IT Act may be interpreted differently and may be altered or amended, possibly with retroactive effects.

This information is for general purposes only and is not tax advice. It cannot be assured that new laws, interpretations of law, or court decisions, any of which may take effect retroactively, will not cause any statement in this section to be inaccurate.

Withholding Tax Obligation on Capgemini

Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, Capgemini is entitled to deduct and withhold from the Consideration payable to any Scheme Shareholder such amount, if any, as is required to be deducted and withheld under the IT Act as may be reasonably determined by Capgemini, provided, however, that before any such withholding or deduction, Capgemini shall take into account all information, declarations, claims for treaty benefits and documentation furnished by a Scheme Shareholder (to the reasonable satisfaction of Capgemini) in determining the Taxes, if any, that are required to be deducted and withheld from the Consideration payable to such Scheme Shareholder. Further information on this withholding tax obligation is set out below.

(a)    Indian Resident Investors

Scheme Shareholders who are Indian Resident Investors are liable for Taxes levied upon their global income in India. Subject to the following paragraph, Capgemini is not required to withhold any Tax under the IT Act for the Indian Resident Investors.

With respect to any Scheme Shareholder that is an Indian Resident Investor, Capgemini will not deduct or withhold any Taxes under the IT Act from the Consideration paid or payable to such Scheme Shareholder so long as such Scheme Shareholder furnishes a self-declaration to Capgemini (in such form as mutually agreed between WNS and Capgemini) confirming their status as an Indian Resident Investor. For Scheme Shareholders who are required to furnish a letter of transmittal to the Paying Agent as described in paragraph 15 of this Part II (Explanatory Statement) of this Document, the self-declaration shall be included in such letter of transmittal. If a Scheme Shareholder that is an Indian Resident Investor does not furnish such a self-declaration, Capgemini may exercise its discretion, acting reasonably, to withhold Taxes, if any, that are deductible in accordance with the IT Act from the Consideration payable to such Scheme Shareholder.

32

(b)    Non-Resident Investors

Under Section 195 of the IT Act, a person making a payment to a Non-Resident Investor (such person, a “Payer”) is required to deduct Tax at the applicable rates at the time of payment or at the time of credit, whichever is earlier, if such payment is taxable in India. Therefore, if the payment made by the Payer is chargeable to Tax in India, the Payer would be required to deduct Tax on any such payments at either: (i) the rates in force in India as per the IT Act; or (ii) the rates under any applicable tax treaty. Capital gains arising to a Non-Resident Investor as a result of the transfer of the Scheme Shares to Capgemini as a result of the Acquisition are chargeable to Tax in India pursuant to the indirect transfer provisions under Section 9 of the IT Act, subject to the exemptions set out in the following paragraphs in this section. Accordingly, Capgemini, as a Payer purchasing Scheme Shares from any Scheme Shareholder who is a Non-Resident Investor, must withhold Taxes if such Scheme Shareholder is liable for Indian taxes on the Acquisition.

Please note that, a Payer has an obligation to withhold Taxes only when the capital gains arising on such a transfer is taxable in India. Further, if the Non-Resident Investor has a reduced Tax burden due to a tax treaty, then Indian law requires a Payer to obtain certain prescribed information and documents from the Non-Resident Investor, which the Non-Resident Investor should maintain and furnish to the Payer to determine the Taxes to be withheld in India under the IT Act.

The provisions of the IT Act provide for a tax exemption from capital gains arising to the Non-Resident Investors who are “small shareholders” in case of an indirect transfer under Section 9 of the IT Act. A Scheme Shareholder is a “small shareholder” if they are: (i) a Non-Resident Investor; and (ii) individually, or together with any of their associated enterprises (as defined under the IT Act), at any time in the twelve months preceding the Closing Date, have not held: (A) the right of management or control in relation to WNS; or (B) the voting power or share capital or interests exceeding five per cent of the total voting power or total share capital or total interests in WNS (or any other entity that directly owns assets situated in India) (a “Small Shareholder”).

With respect to any Scheme Shareholder that is a Small Shareholder, Capgemini will not deduct or withhold any Taxes under the IT Act from the Consideration paid or payable to such Scheme Shareholder so long as such Scheme Shareholder furnishes a self-declaration to Capgemini (in such form as mutually agreed between WNS and Capgemini) confirming their status as a Small Shareholder. For Scheme Shareholders who are required to furnish a letter of transmittal to the Paying Agent as described in paragraph 15 of this Part II (Explanatory Statement) of this Document, the self-declaration shall be included in such letter of transmittal. If a Scheme Shareholder that is a Small Shareholder does not furnish such a self-declaration, Capgemini may exercise its discretion, acting reasonably, to withhold Taxes, if any, that are deductible in accordance with the IT Act from the Consideration payable to such Scheme Shareholder.

With respect to any Scheme Shareholder that is not a Small Shareholder or an Indian Resident Investor (which shall be determined by Capgemini based on self-declaration furnished by a Scheme Shareholder), Capgemini shall compute and withhold Taxes in accordance with the IT Act by considering the information, declarations, claims for tax treaty benefits, and other relevant documentation furnished by such Scheme Shareholder (to the reasonable satisfaction of Capgemini). However, if Capgemini does not receive such information and documents from such Scheme Shareholder (to Capgemini’s reasonable satisfaction), Capgemini shall compute and withhold Taxes in accordance with the IT Act (as may be determined by Capgemini acting reasonably and based on the information available to Capgemini) from the Consideration payable to such Scheme Shareholder.

17.    Overseas Shareholders

17.1  General

This Document has been prepared for purposes of complying with the laws of Jersey and the United States and the rules of the SEC, respectively (to the extent applicable), and the information disclosed may be different from that which would have been disclosed if this Document had been prepared in accordance with the laws of jurisdictions outside Jersey and the United States. This Document is not a prospectus, or a prospectus exempted document.

The release, publication or distribution of this Document in, into or from jurisdictions other than Jersey or the United States may be restricted by the law or regulations of such jurisdictions, and any use in the United States may be subject to applicable United States laws and regulations. WNS Shareholders who are not resident in Jersey or the United States or WNS Shareholders who are subject to the laws of other jurisdictions should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable requirements. In particular, the ability of Overseas Shareholders to vote their Scheme Shares with respect to the Scheme Resolution at the Court Meeting, or to appoint another person as proxy to vote at the Court

33

Meeting on their behalf may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are located. Any failure to comply with the applicable restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the companies and persons involved in the Acquisition disclaim any responsibility or liability for the violation of such restrictions by any person.

As regards Overseas Shareholders, the Acquisition may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions. Such Overseas Shareholders should inform themselves about and observe any applicable legal requirements. It is the responsibility of Overseas Shareholders to satisfy themselves as to the full observance of the laws of the relevant jurisdiction in connection therewith, including the obtaining of any governmental, exchange control or other consents which may be required, or the compliance with other necessary formalities which are required to be observed and the payment of any issue, transfer or other Taxes due in such jurisdiction.

Unless otherwise determined by Capgemini, and permitted by applicable law and regulation, the Acquisition will not be made available, directly or indirectly, in, into or from a Restricted Jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws of that jurisdiction and no person may vote in favour of the Scheme Resolution at the Court Meeting or the Resolution at the General Meeting by any use, means, instrumentality or form within a Restricted Jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction if to do so would constitute a violation of the laws of that jurisdiction. Accordingly, copies of this Document will not be and must not be, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in, into or from any Restricted Jurisdiction or any jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws of that jurisdiction, and persons receiving all documents relating to the Acquisition (including custodians, nominees and trustees) must not mail or otherwise forward, distribute or send them in or into or from any Restricted Jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction if to do so would constitute a violation of the laws of that jurisdiction. This document does not constitute an offer or an invitation to purchase or subscribe for any securities, or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, pursuant to the document or otherwise, in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful.

Overseas Shareholders are encouraged to consult their local tax and legal advisors with respect to the legal and tax consequences of the Scheme.

Neither WNS nor the Acquisition is subject to the requirements of the UK Takeover Code or the jurisdiction of the Panel.

17.2  Additional information for US investors

The Acquisition is being made to acquire the securities of a Jersey company that is a “foreign private issuer” as defined under Rule 3b-4(c) under the US Exchange Act, and will be made by means of a members’ scheme of arrangement provided for under Jersey Companies Law. A transaction effected by means of a members’ scheme of arrangement is not subject to the tender offer rules or the proxy solicitation rules under the US Exchange Act. Accordingly, the Scheme is subject to the disclosure requirements and practices applicable in Jersey to schemes of arrangement, which differ from the disclosure requirements of the US tender offer rules and proxy solicitation rules and the US Securities Act. If, in the future, Capgemini and WNS mutually agree to implement the Acquisition by way of either a Jersey Merger or an Offer, the Acquisition will be made in compliance with applicable United States laws and regulations, including any applicable exemptions under the US Exchange Act.

The receipt of cash consideration by a US holder for the transfer of its Scheme Shares pursuant to the Scheme will be a taxable transaction for United States federal income tax purposes and under applicable United States state and local laws. In addition, WNS Shareholders may be required to provide an applicable IRS Form W-8 or W-9 in order to prevent any backup withholding tax on the cash consideration. Each WNS Shareholder is urged to consult their independent professional adviser immediately regarding the Tax consequences of the Acquisition applicable to them, including under applicable United States state and local laws.

WNS is formed under the laws of Jersey. In addition, some or all of its officers and directors reside outside the US, and some or all of its assets are or may be located in jurisdictions outside the US. Therefore, investors may have difficulty effecting service of process within the US upon those persons or recovering against WNS or its officers or directors on judgments of US courts, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of US federal securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-US company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court’s judgment. It may not be possible to sue WNS or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of US securities laws.

34

None of the securities referred to in this Document have been approved or disapproved by the SEC, any state securities commission in the United States or any other US regulatory authority, nor have such authorities passed upon or determined the adequacy or accuracy of the information contained in this Document. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.

18.    No Appraisal Rights

If Scheme Shareholders approve the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the Court sanctions the Scheme, then, subject to the Scheme becoming Effective in accordance with its terms, the Scheme will be binding on all Scheme Shareholders (including all Beneficial Holders as at the Scheme Record Time), including those who did not vote or who voted against it at the Court Meeting. If Scheme Shareholders approve the Scheme and the Court sanctions the Scheme, no Scheme Shareholder will have “dissenters” or “appraisal” rights or otherwise have any right to seek a court appraisal of the value of Scheme Shares. If the Scheme becomes Effective, all Scheme Shareholders will receive the Consideration.

19.    Further information

The terms of the Scheme are set out in full in Part IV (The Scheme of Arrangement) of this Document. Your attention is also drawn to the further information contained in this Document, all of which forms part of this Explanatory Statement, and, in particular, to the Conditions set out in Part A of Part III (Conditions to the Implementation of the Scheme and to the Acquisition), and the additional information set out in Part VI (Additional Information) of this Document.

Neither the completion and return of the Forms of Proxy, nor the submission of your vote online, will prevent you from attending, speaking at, and voting at the Court Meeting or the General Meeting if you are entitled to and wish to do so.

The WNS Shares represented by any valid Form of Proxy will be voted for or against, as the case may be, the Scheme Resolution at the Court Meeting and the Resolution at the General Meeting, in accordance with the specific instructions made by the WNS Shareholder on any voting card that may be called for with respect to the Scheme Resolution and the Resolution, and where a choice is specified in respect of any matter to be acted upon, will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the specification made on any voting card that may be called for. In the absence of any such specific instructions, such WNS Shares will be voted by the Chair of the Court Meeting or the General Meeting named in the Form of Proxy, as applicable, FOR the Scheme Resolution at the Court Meeting and in favour of the Resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting.

(d)    Shareholder Helpline

If WNS Shareholders have any questions about the Meetings or the completion and return of the Forms of Proxy, or voting online, please contact Computershare by phone at +1 (800) 736-3001. Calls are charged at the standard geographic rate and will vary by provider. Calls from outside the United States will be charged at the applicable international rate. The helpline is open between the hours of 8.00 a.m. and 8.00 p.m. (New York Time) on weekdays and 9.00 a.m. and 5.30 p.m. (New York Time) on Saturdays. Please note that Computershare cannot provide any financial, legal or tax advice and calls may be recorded and monitored for security and training purposes.

20.2  Beneficial Holders

The information set forth in this section is of importance to Beneficial Holders, as a substantial number of WNS Shares are held by Intermediaries on behalf of Beneficial Holders. Beneficial Holders should note that only proxies deposited by WNS Shareholders (that is, individuals or entities whose names appear on the records maintained by the transfer agent for the WNS Shares as registered holders of WNS Shares) will be recognised and acted upon at the Court Meeting and General Meeting. If WNS Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Beneficial Holder by an Intermediary, those WNS Shares will, in all likelihood, be registered in the name of the Intermediary (or its agent). The vast majority of such WNS Shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC.

The Meeting Materials will be sent to each Beneficial Holder by or on behalf of the Intermediary that holds WNS Shares on their behalf. Intermediaries will typically use a service company to forward the Meeting Materials. The majority of Intermediaries now delegate responsibility for obtaining shareholder instructions from clients to Broadridge. Broadridge typically mails a Voting Instruction Form in lieu of the Form of Proxy. Beneficial Holders are requested to vote in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Voting Instruction Forms. Broadridge will

36

provide aggregate WNS Shareholder voting instructions to the relevant Intermediary (or its tabulation agent), which will tabulate the results for the Court Meeting and General Meeting and provide appropriate instructions with respect to the voting of the WNS Shares to be represented at the Court Meeting and the General Meeting or the reconvening of any adjourned or postponed meeting.

Applicable securities regulatory policy requires Intermediaries, on receipt of materials that seek voting instructions from Beneficial Holders indirectly, to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Holders in advance of meetings of security-holders. Every Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Holders in order to ensure that their wishes are expressed at the Court Meeting and the General Meeting or the reconvening of any adjourned or postponed meeting. Often, the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Holder by its broker is identical to the form of proxy provided to WNS Shareholders; however, its purpose is limited to instructing the relevant WNS Shareholder that is an Intermediary on how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Holder. In the ordinary course, Beneficial Holders’ securities can only be voted by their Intermediaries in accordance with the Beneficial Holders’ instructions. Beneficial Holders should carefully follow the instructions provided by their Intermediaries in order to ensure that their wishes in respect of the WNS Shares that they control are reflected at the Court Meeting and General Meeting or the reconvening of any adjourned or postponed meeting.

Beneficial Holders of WNS Shares are strongly advised to vote in accordance with the instructions sent to them by their Intermediary.

Beneficial Holders will not be entitled to attend, speak at, vote at, or otherwise participate in either the Court Meeting or the General Meeting.

Beneficial Holders as of the Beneficial Holder Record Time will however be entitled to instruct their broker or other Intermediary how to vote the WNS Shares in which they have a beneficial interest by completing and signing the materials provided to them in accordance with the instructions provided to them by their broker or other Intermediary.

Beneficial Holders are entitled to switch from being a Beneficial Holder to a WNS Shareholder (so that the WNS Shares previously held by the relevant Intermediary will be held directly by them) by contacting their relevant Intermediary who can effect the switch in cooperation with the Company. By becoming a WNS Shareholder, they will then be entitled to attend and be heard at the Court Sanction Hearing, either in person or through a Jersey advocate, to support or oppose the Scheme, and/or may also submit written statements regarding the Scheme for the Court’s consideration. Such statements can be made by writing to Mourant Ozannes (Jersey) LLP, 22 Grenville Street, St Helier, Jersey JE4 8PX, Channel Islands marked “FAO James Hill/WNS Scheme” but must be received no later than 5.00 p.m. (London Time) on the day which is three Business Days prior to the Court Sanction Hearing.

Yours faithfully,

The board of directors of WNS (Holdings) Limited

PART VIII NOTICE OF COURT MEETING

IN THE ROYAL COURT OF JERSEY
SAMEDI DIVISION

File No. 2025/151

IN THE MATTER OF WNS (HOLDINGS) LIMITED

and

IN THE MATTER OF ARTICLE 125 OF THE COMPANIES (JERSEY) LAW 1991

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, by an order dated 29 July 2025 made in the above matter, the Royal Court of Jersey (the “Court”) has given permission for a meeting (the “Court Meeting”) to be convened of the holders of WNS Shares (as defined in the Scheme referred to below) for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving the following resolution to approve a members’ scheme of arrangement (the “Scheme”) proposed to be made pursuant to Article 125 of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 (as amended) (the “Jersey Companies Law”) between WNS (Holdings) Limited (the “Company”) and the holders of WNS Shares and that such meeting will be held at the offices of Latham & Watkins LLP located at 99 Bishopsgate, London, EC2M 3XF, United Kingdom on August 29, 2025 at 2.00 p.m. (London Time), unless adjourned or postponed.

“That the Scheme in its original form or with or subject to any modification(s), addition(s) or condition(s) approved or imposed by the Royal Court of Jersey be agreed to.”

Unless defined in this notice, capitalised terms used in this notice shall have the meaning given to them in Part VII (Definitions) of the Document which this notice forms part.

A copy of the said Scheme and a copy of the explanatory statement required to be published pursuant to Article 126 of the Jersey Companies Law are incorporated in the Document of which this notice forms part.

It is important that, for the Court Meeting in particular, as many votes as possible are cast so that the Court may be satisfied that there is a fair representation of the opinion of WNS Shareholders.

Each member present in person or by proxy will be entitled to one vote for each WNS Share held at the Voting Record Time.

Votes to be taken by a poll and results

At the Court Meeting voting on the Scheme Resolution will be by poll rather than a show of hands. This is a more transparent method of voting as member votes are to be counted according to the number of shares held.

The quorum for the Court Meeting consists of two WNS Shareholders present in person together representing not less than one-third of the total voting rights of all the WNS Shareholders entitled to vote at the Court Meeting. Under the Articles, ‘present in person’ in relation to general meetings of WNS and to meetings of the holders of any class of shares, includes present by attorney or by proxy or, in the case of a corporate shareholder, by representative.

A vote withheld is not a vote in law, which means that the vote will not be counted in the calculation of votes for or against the resolution. If no voting indication is given, your proxy will vote or abstain from voting at his or her discretion unless you have appointed the Chair as proxy in which case the WNS Shares referenced on the Form of Proxy will be voted by the Chair of the Court Meeting FOR the Scheme Resolution at the Court Meeting. Your proxy will vote (or abstain from voting) as he or she thinks fit in relation to any other matter which is put before the Court Meeting.

The results of the voting at the Court Meeting will be announced as soon as practicable by public announcement in the United States and by making such announcement available on WNS’ investor relations site at https://ir.wns.com.

60

Voting Record Time

WNS Shareholders are strongly encouraged to submit proxy appointments and instructions for the Court Meeting as soon as possible by mail. WNS Shareholders are also strongly encouraged to appoint the Chair of the Court Meeting as their proxy. Instructions on how to appoint a proxy are set out in the notes below. To be valid, a form of proxy should be completed and returned in accordance with the instructions set out on the form. WNS Shareholders may also vote online following the instructions set out in the form of proxy, instead of submitting the proxy appointment and instructions for the Court Meeting by mail.

Entitlement to attend, speak and vote at the Court Meeting or any adjournment thereof in person, and the number of votes which may be cast at the Court Meeting, will be determined by reference to the register of members at 10.00 p.m. (London Time) on August 27, 2025. Changes to the register of members after this time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend, speak and vote at the Court Meeting.

Joint Holders

Where there are joint registered holders of any WNS Share, such persons shall not have the right of voting individually in respect of any such WNS Share but shall elect one of their number to represent them and to vote whether in person or by proxy in their name. In default of such election the person whose name appears first in order in the register in respect of such share shall be the only person entitled to vote in respect thereof.

Corporate Representatives

As an alternative to appointing a proxy, any WNS Shareholder which is a body corporate may appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf, all its powers as a member, provided that if two or more corporate representatives purport to vote in respect of the same shares, if they purport to exercise the power in the same way as each other, the power is treated as exercised in that way, and in other cases the power is treated as not exercised.

In the case of a member which is a body corporate, the proxy form must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by a person authorised to do so.

By the said order, the Court has appointed Mr. Keshav R. Murugesh or, failing him, any other WNS Director present at the Court Meeting to act as Chair of the Court Meeting and has directed the Chair to report the result of the meeting to the Court.

The said Scheme will be subject to the subsequent sanction of the Court.

170.2

 

Notwithstanding any other provisions in these Articles, if the Company issues any WNS Shares or transfers any WNS Shares out of treasury other than to Capgemini or its nominee(s)) on or after the Voting Record Time and at or prior to the Scheme Record Time, such WNS Shares shall be issued, transferred or registered subject to the terms of the Scheme (and shall be Scheme Shares for the purposes thereof) and the original or any subsequent holder or holders of such WNS Shares shall be bound by the Scheme accordingly.

In exchange for the transfer of the Post-Scheme Shares, Capgemini (or as Capgemini may direct) shall pay or procure the payment to the New Member of the Consideration, subject to any required withholding of taxes, that the New Member would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the Scheme had each Post-Scheme Share been a Scheme Share.

The Company shall not be obliged to issue a certificate to the New Member for any Post-Scheme Shares.

   

170.7

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Articles, neither the Company nor the Directors shall register the transfer of any Scheme Shares effected between the Scheme Record Time and the Effective Time, other than to Capgemini or its nominee(s) pursuant to the Scheme.

1.      Entitlement to attend and vote

Each WNS Shareholder who is entered in register of members at the Voting Record Time (expected to be 10.00 p.m. (London Time) on August 27, 2025) will be entitled to attend and vote on the Resolution to be put to the General Meeting. Changes to the register of members after the Voting Record Time will be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the General Meeting. Each eligible WNS Shareholder is entitled to appoint a proxy or proxies to attend and to vote instead of them. A proxy need not be a WNS Shareholder.

2.      Right to appoint a proxy; procedure for appointment

WNS Shareholders are strongly encouraged to submit proxy appointments and instructions for the General Meeting as soon as possible. WNS Shareholders are also strongly encouraged to appoint the Chair of the General Meeting as their proxy. To be valid, a form of proxy should be completed and returned in accordance with the instructions set out on the form.

Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the proxy form is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the proxy form.

If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence.

If you receive more than one Form of Proxy because you own WNS Shares registered in different names or addresses, each Form of Proxy should be completed and returned in respect of each name and address.

WNS Shareholders may appoint more than one proxy provided that each proxy is appointed in respect of different WNS Shares held by such holder. WNS Shareholders who wish to appoint more than one proxy in respect of their holding of WNS Shares should contact Computershare for further Forms of Proxy. A space has been included in the Form of Proxy relating to the General Meeting to allow WNS Shareholders to specify the number of shares in respect of which that proxy is appointed. WNS Shareholders who return the Form of Proxy relating to the General Meeting duly executed but leave this space blank will be deemed to have appointed the proxy in respect of all of their WNS Shares.

Sending Forms of Proxy by mail

WNS Shareholders should send their completed Forms of Proxy to WNS’ registered office at 22 Grenville Street, St Helier, Jersey JE4 8PX, Channel Islands (Attn: Mourant Secretaries (Jersey) Limited) no later than 2.15 p.m. (London Time) on August 27, 2025 for the General Meeting (or, if the General Meeting is adjourned, no later than 48 hours before the time fixed for the adjourned General Meeting).

3.      Voting online

WNS Shareholders may also vote online following the instructions set out in the Form of Proxy relating to the General Meeting, instead of submitting the Form of Proxy by mail. Votes submitted online must be received not later than 2.15 p.m. (London Time) on August 27, 2025.

4.      Appointment of a proxy by joint holders

Where there are joint registered holders of any WNS Share, such persons shall not have the right of voting individually in respect of such share but shall elect one of their number to represent them and to vote whether in person or by proxy in their name. In default of such election the person whose name appears first in order in the register in respect of such share shall be the only person entitled to vote in respect thereof.

65

5.      Corporate representatives

As an alternative to appointing a proxy, any body corporate which is a member may appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all its powers as a member, provided that if two or more corporate representatives purport to vote in respect of the same shares, if they purport to exercise the power in the same way as each other, the power is treated as exercised in that way, and in other cases the power is treated as not exercised.

In the case of a member which is a company, the proxy form must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by person authorised to do so.

6.           Votes to be taken by a poll and results

At the General Meeting voting on the Resolution will be by poll rather than a show of hands. This is a more transparent method of voting as member votes are to be counted according to the number of shares held. A poll will be demanded by the Chair of the General Meeting in accordance with Article 76 of the Articles.

A quorum (except as otherwise provided by the Articles) consists of two WNS Shareholders present in person together representing not less than one-third of the total voting rights of all the WNS Shareholders entitled to vote at the General Meeting. Under the Articles, ‘present in person’ in relation to general meetings of WNS and to meetings of the holders of any class of shares, includes present by attorney or by proxy or, in the case of a corporate shareholder, by representative.

A vote withheld is not a vote in law, which means that the vote will not be counted in the calculation of votes for or against the resolution. If no voting indication is given, your proxy will vote or abstain from voting at his or her discretion unless you have appointed the Chair as proxy in which case the WNS Shares referenced on the Form of Proxy will be voted by the Chair of the General Meeting FOR the Resolution at the General Meeting. Your proxy will vote (or abstain from voting) as he or she thinks fit in relation to any other matter which is put before the General Meeting.

The results of the voting at the General Meeting will be announced as soon as practicable by public announcement in the United States and by making such announcement available on WNS’ investor relations site at https://ir.wns.com.

7.      Issued share capital and total voting rights

As at 10.00 p.m. (London Time) on July 25, 2025, being the Latest Practicable Date, WNS’ issued share capital consists of 42,952,072 WNS Shares. Each WNS Share carries the right to one vote on a vote taken by poll at the General Meeting convened by this notice and therefore the total voting rights in WNS as at July 25, 2025 are 42,952,072.

8.      Inspection of this notice and the articles of association
