SCHEDULE 13D/A (Amendment No. 2)


The information in this Amendment No. 2 is supplemental and is not a complete restatement of the text of the Schedule 13D (as defined below).  This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 2”) should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed on August 18, 2009, and the Schedule 13D filed on June 4, 2009 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”).

 

ITEM 1.   Security and Issuer.

 

The class of equity securities to which this Amendment No. 2 relates is the  equity shares, par value Indian Rupees 10 per share (the “Equity Shares”), of Sify Technologies Limited, a company incorporated in India (the “Issuer”). The Equity Shares are the underlying shares of the Issuer’s American Depositary Shares (“ADS”), which each represent one Equity Share. The Equity Shares are not traded on an exchange either in the United States or India. The Issuer’s ADS trade on the Nasdaq Global Market. The ADSs have been issued pursuant to a Deposit Agreement, dated October 18, 1999, as amended, by and among the Issuer, Citibank, N.A., as depositary (the “Depositary”), and the holders and beneficial owners of ADSs.

 

The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at Tidel Park, 2nd Floor No 4, 4 Rajiv Gandhi Salai, Taramani, Chennai,  India, 600 113.

 

ITEM 4.   Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

 

Pursuant to the terms of that certain Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”), dated October 22, 2010, by and between the Issuer and Ananda Raju Vegesna (the “Transaction”), the Issuer issued and sold an aggregate of 125,000,000 Equity Shares to Raju Vegesna Infotech & Industries Private Limited (“Infotech”). As further set forth in the Subscription Agreement, Ananda Raju Vegesna executed the Subscription Agreement as “Representative” and in such capacity was authorized to identify and finalize the names of the purchaser(s) under the Subscription Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement, the entirety of the Purchased Shares were issued to Infotech on October 30, 2010 at the time of the first partial payment by Infotech for the Purchased Shares. Full payment by Infotech for the Purchased Shares will occur over time, in accordance with Indian law, and the Issuer will retain a lien on such Purchased Shares until such Purchased Shares are fully paid. Infinity Satcom’s beneficial ownership of the Equity Shares of the Issuer was reduced to 8.2% as a result of the Transaction. Ananda Raju Vegesna acted solely as the “Representative” for the Transaction and neither Infinity Satcom nor Ananda Raju Vegesna beneficially owns or owned any of the Equity Shares issued to Infotech in connection with the Transaction.


The foregoing summary of the Subscription Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Subscription Agreement, attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.


The purpose of the Transaction is to obtain funding for the Issuer's ongoing capital expenditures, business expansion and general business operations. The Issuer's Board of Directors and its stockholders each approved the Transaction.


Except as described above and except in connection with the Transaction, the Reporting Persons have no present plan or proposal, which relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
