Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On November 5, 2015, Virtusa Consulting Services Private Limited (“Virtusa India”), a subsidiary of Virtusa Corporation (“Virtusa” or the “Company”), entered into a definitive share purchase agreement (“SPA”) to purchase 53,133,127 shares, or approximately 51.7% of the fully-diluted capitalization of Polaris Consulting & Services Limited (“Polaris”) from certain Polaris shareholders for approximately $180 million in cash (the “Polaris SPA Transaction”). In addition, under applicable India Takeover rules, Virtusa India will make an unconditional mandatory offer to the Polaris public shareholders to purchase up to an additional 26.0% of the outstanding shares of Polaris for approximately $90 million in cash, assuming full tender and the offer price remaining unchanged, for total consideration of approximately $270 million. The transaction is subject to certain conditions to close, including regulatory approvals in the United States and India, and is expected to close during Virtusa’s fourth fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2016.

 

The obligations of the parties to consummate the Polaris SPA Transaction are subject to the satisfaction (or waiver, if applicable) of various customary conditions, including (i) regulatory approvals in the United States and India, (ii) the absence of any governmental order prohibiting the Polaris SPA Transaction, (iii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party contained in the SPA (subject to certain materiality qualifications), and (iv) the other party’s compliance with or performance of the covenants and agreements in the SPA in all material respects. In addition, Virtusa India’s obligation to consummate the share purchase is subject to the absence of a material adverse effect (as defined in the SPA) on Polaris. Virtusa India’s obligation to consummate the share purchase is not subject to receipt of the proceeds of the contemplated financing for the transaction.

 

Virtusa has secured commitments for senior secured debt financing of $300 million from JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A., in support of the transaction, comprised of a $100 million revolving credit facility and a $200 million multi-draw term loan.  Interest under these facilities accrues at a rate per annum of LIBOR plus 2.75%, subject to step-downs based on Virtusa’s ratio of debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock compensation expense (“EBITDA”). Virtusa intends to enter into an interest rate swap agreement to minimize interest rate exposure. The term of the facilities is five years from date of close. The definitive credit agreement governing the facilities will include a maximum debt to EBITDA ratio and a minimum fixed charge ratio. These facilities will replace Virtusa’s existing $25 million credit facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A.

 

The foregoing description of the Share Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Share Purchase Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.  The Share Purchase Agreement has been included to provide investors and stockholders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, the sellers or Polaris. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Share Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Share Purchase Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Share Purchase Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties or covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, the sellers, Polaris or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Share Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

 

On November 5, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment with Citigroup Technology, Inc. (“Citi”) and Polaris, effective only upon the closing of the Polaris SPA Transaction, pursuant to which, (i) Citi agreed to appoint the Company and Polaris as a preferred vendor for Global Technology Resource Strategy (“GTRS”) for the provision of IT services to Citi on an enterprise wide basis (“GTRS Preferred Vendor”), (ii) the Company agreed to certain productivity savings and associated reduced spend commitments for a period of two years, which, if not achieved, would require the Company to provide certain minimum discounts to Citi, (iii) the parties agreed to amend Polaris’ master services agreement with Citi such that the Company would also be deemed a contracting party and the Company would assume, and agree to perform, or cause Polaris to perform, all applicable obligations under the master services agreement, as amended by the amendment (the “Citi/Virtusa MSA”), and (iv) Virtusa agreed to terminate Virtusa’s existing master services agreement with Citi, and have the Citi/Virtusa MSA be the sole surviving agreement.  Under the terms of the Citi/Virtusa MSA, the Citi/Virtusa MSA has a perpetual term, but may be terminated sooner by either party in the event of, among other things, an uncured, material breach of the other party on 30 days prior written notice or by Citi for convenience generally upon 30 days prior written notice except for certain time and material engagements, which may be terminated for convenience by Citi on 10 business days or shorter notice.  The Citi/Virtusa MSA contains provisions regarding insurance, indemnities, limitations of liability, warranty, service levels, liquidated damages and other customary terms and conditions.

 

The foregoing description of the Citi/Virtusa MSA and the transactions contemplated therein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Citi/Virtusa MSA , which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending December 31, 2015.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and Virtusa undertakes no obligation to update any of them publicly in light of new information or future events. Actual results could differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement as a result of various factors, including, without limitation: Virtusa’s ability to close on the definitive agreement with Polaris and to close on the mandatory unconditional offer, and if so, in a timely manner and without having to waive any closing conditions; the possibility that Virtusa may not receive the anticipated financing or financing on the terms expected; the possibility that the closing conditions to the contemplated transaction may not be satisfied or waived, including that a governmental entity may prohibit, delay or refuse to grant a necessary regulatory approval; the effects of disruption of Virtusa’s current plans and operations caused by the announcement of the contemplated transaction, which may cause Virtusa’s stock price to decrease or make it more difficult to maintain relationships with employees, customers, vendors and other business partners; the possibility that the business of Polaris may suffer as a result of uncertainty surrounding the transaction or that Polaris may be adversely affected by other economic, business, legislative, regulatory and/or competitive factors; the risk that stockholder litigation or other legal proceedings in connection with the contemplated transaction may affect the timing or occurrence of the contemplated transaction or result in significant costs of defense, indemnification and liability; Virtusa’s ability to obtain effective control of Polaris or its ability to manage the business and operations of Polaris as a less than wholly owned subsidiary after the closings; Virtusa’s ability to close on the mandatory unconditional offer at the consideration offered or with the Polaris public stockholders meaningfully participating in such offer, the failure of which could result in an increase in the consideration offered to paid to the stockholder, and if so, the ability to finance such higher than expected consideration, manage an Indian public company, incur unexpected costs, liabilities or delays in connection with the Polaris acquisition; unanticipated acquisition related costs and negative effects on Virtusa’s reported results of operations from acquisition-related charges; the possibility of any failure to realize the intended benefits of the contemplated transaction, including the inability to integrate Virtusa’s and Polaris business and operations or to realize the anticipated synergies in the expected amount or within the anticipated time frames or cost expectations or at all; the possibility that Virtusa’s estimated combined or standalone guidance may differ from expectations, and other risks and uncertainties discussed in Virtusa’s filings with the SEC, including the “Risk Factors” section of Virtusa’s most recent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and most recent Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2015.

·                   Virtusa and Polaris would together create a leading global provider of end-to-end IT services and solutions to banking and financial services (“BFS”) industry segment.

·                   Virtusa and Polaris collectively will have approximately 18,000 (1) employees, generating $826 million of pro forma revenue(2) for the twelve months ended September 30, 2015.

·                   On a non-GAAP basis, transaction is estimated to be ($0.08) dilutive to fiscal fourth quarter 2016 EPS, slightly dilutive to fiscal year 2017 EPS, and accretive thereafter.

 

Westborough, MA — (November 5, 2015) Virtusa Corporation (NASDAQ GS: VRTU), a global business consulting and IT outsourcing company that combines innovation, technology leadership and industry solutions to transform the customer experience, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a majority interest in Polaris Consulting & Services, Ltd. (“Polaris”) (BSE: POLARIS NSE: POLARIS MSEI: POLARIS), a global provider of IT solutions primarily to the banking and financial services industry segment, for approximately $270 million. The transaction consideration includes both the 51.7% majority interest and an unconditional mandatory open offer to purchase up to 26%(3) of the outstanding shares of Polaris from the public shareholders of Polaris (as further described below in “Terms and Financing of the Polaris Transaction”). In addition, upon closing of the Polaris transaction, Citigroup Technology Group, Inc. (“Citi”) has agreed to designate Virtusa and Polaris as a preferred vendor for Global Technology Resource Strategy (“GTRS”) for the provision of IT services to Citi on an enterprise-wide basis.

 

As of September 30, 2015, Chennai, India-based Polaris had approximately 7,650(1) employees, serving its global client base through 12 development centers. For the six months ended September 30, 2015, Polaris generated total pro forma revenue(2) of approximately $150 million. Polaris had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term and long-term investments of approximately $44.8 million(4) as of September 30, 2015.

 

Upon the closing of the Polaris transaction, the combination of Virtusa and Polaris would create a leading global provider of IT services and solutions to the banking and financial services industry segment. The acquisition would combine Virtusa’s deep domain expertise in consumer and retail banking with Polaris’ proven strength in corporate and investment banking. This combination would provide an end-to-end portfolio of differentiated solutions to the global banking and financial services industry segment, improving the combined entity’s competitive position, and expanding its addressable market. Virtusa expects to realize over $100 million of cumulative revenue synergies over the next three fiscal years from the business combination.

 



 

The Polaris transaction is expected to close during Virtusa’s fourth fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2016. The closing of the definitive agreement and the unconditional mandatory open offer to purchase shares from the public shareholders of Polaris are each subject to customary conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals.

 

Commenting on the transaction, Kris Canekeratne, Virtusa’s Chairman and CEO, stated, “Polaris brings a terrific team and an attractive, blue-chip client base to our organization. The combination of Virtusa and Polaris will enable us to provide end-to-end global BFS services and solutions, expand our addressable market, and position us to pursue larger consulting and outsourcing opportunities. We are enthusiastic about working with the Polaris team to build out our platform and offer clients a distinctive set of offerings.”

 

Jitin Goyal, Chief Executive Officer & Executive Director of Polaris, said, “Virtusa and Polaris share a common goal of delivering best-in-class solutions and the highest level of service excellence to our clients. I believe the combination of the two companies will enable us to better address our clients’ most critical business objectives.”

 

Terms and Financing of the Polaris Transaction

 

Virtusa, through its India subsidiary, Virtusa Consulting Services Private Limited (“Virtusa India”), has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Polaris held by Mr. Arun Jain, founder and chairman of Polaris, Orbitech Private Limited, and certain other minority stockholders, representing an aggregate of approximately 51.7%(5&6) of the fully diluted outstanding shares of Polaris for $3.38 per share (INR 220.73 per share) (7), for an aggregate purchase consideration under the definitive agreement of approximately $180 million (INR 11,728.08 million) (7).

 

In addition, in accordance with the requirements of the Indian securities regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”) and the applicable Indian rules on Takeovers, Virtusa India shall make an unconditional mandatory open offer to Polaris’ public shareholders to purchase up to an additional 26%(3) of the outstanding shares of Polaris. The aggregate price for the shares to be purchased in the unconditional, mandatory open offer, assuming full tender and the offer price remaining unchanged, is estimated at approximately $90 million (INR 5,877 million) (7).

 

Virtusa intends to finance the transaction through a combination of cash on its balance sheet and debt. Virtusa has secured commitments for senior secured debt financing of $300 million from J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A., in support of the transaction, comprised of a $100 million revolving credit facility and a $200 million multi-draw term loan.  Interest under this facility accrues at a rate per annum of LIBOR plus 2.75%, subject to step-downs based on Virtusa’s ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted for stock compensation expense (“adjusted EBITDA”). Virtusa intends to enter into an interest rate swap agreement to minimize interest rate exposure. The term of the facility is five years from date of close. The definitive credit agreement governing the facility will include a maximum debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio and a minimum fixed

 



 

charge ratio. This facility will replace Virtusa’s existing $25 million credit facility with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A.

 

Financial Overview of the Polaris Transaction

 

In the fiscal third quarter ending December 31, 2015, Virtusa expects to incur approximately $0.6 million of transaction expenses related to the Polaris transaction.

 

For the fiscal fourth quarter ending March 31, 2016, assuming an early January 2016 close, Virtusa management currently expects Polaris to contribute revenue of approximately $70 million and to be approximately ($0.55) dilutive to Virtusa’s GAAP earnings per share, including approximately ($0.23) of dilution from acquisition-related charges. On a non-GAAP basis, Virtusa management expects the Polaris transaction to be approximately ($0.08) dilutive to earnings per share. Both the GAAP and non-GAAP EPS estimates include approximately ($0.07) of dilution from interest on debt to finance the transaction.

 

Virtusa management currently expects the Polaris combination to be slightly dilutive to non-GAAP earnings per share for fiscal year 2017, inclusive of expected revenue synergies including preferred vendor status at Citi offset by contractual productivity savings commitments for a period of two years at Citi, if not achieved, would require Virtusa to provide certain minimum discounts, and higher interest expense from deal-related financing. Virtusa management currently expects Polaris to be accretive to non-GAAP EPS in fiscal year 2018 and beyond, taking into account expected acceleration of revenue synergies, balance sheet deleveraging, tax benefits related to interest expense, and anticipated additional equity investments.

 

Advisors

 

J.P. Morgan acted as financial advisor to Virtusa. Goodwin Procter, LLP and ALMT Legal Bangalore acted as legal advisors to Virtusa. Credit Suisse acted as primary financial advisor and Spark Capital as co-advisor to Polaris. J Sagar Associates acted as legal advisor for Polaris and AZB & Partners acted as legal advisor for Orbitech.

 

Financial Outlook

 

Virtusa management has updated its current financial guidance:

 

·                   Third quarter fiscal 2016 revenue is expected to be in the range of $150 to $153 million. GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.39 to $0.41 and non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.54 to $0.56.

 

·                   Fiscal year 2016 revenue is expected to be in the range of $654.6 to $661.6 million. GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $1.02 to $1.08 and non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $2.07 to $2.13.

 

Virtusa’s current GAAP diluted EPS guidance for the third fiscal quarter and the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2016 reflects the inclusion of Polaris transaction and integration expenses of $0.6 million and $10.0 million, respectively.

 



 

The Company’s third quarter and fiscal year 2016 diluted EPS both estimate an average share count of approximately 30.1 million,  (assuming no further exercises of stock-based awards) and assume a stock price of $56.99, which was derived from the average closing price of the Company’s stock over the five trading days ended on October 30, 2015.  Deviations from this stock price may cause actual EPS to vary based on share dilution from Virtusa’s stock options and stock appreciation rights.
