Press Releases

NEW YORK, Feb. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Genpact Limited (NYSE: G), a global leader in digitally-powered business process management and services, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a $250 million share repurchase program, bringing the total authorization under its existing program to $500 million. The Company intends to purchase its common shares from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.  The company has completed $250 million in share repurchases under the share repurchase program first announced in February 2015. 

N.V. 'Tiger' Tyagarajan, Genpact's president and CEO, said, "Our share repurchase program is an important tool in our capital allocation framework.  We will continually consider opportunities that allow us to deliver value to our shareholders."

The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by the company's management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. Repurchases may also be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Any repurchased shares will be canceled.

The repurchase program will be funded using available cash or debt facilities. As of December 31, 2015, the company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $451 million and approximately 211.5 common shares outstanding.
