In accordance with Section 4.07 of the Deposit Agreement (the "Deposit Agreement") between Infosys Technologies Ltd. ("the Company") and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as Depositary ("the Depositary"), Holders of Infosys Technologies Ltd. American Depositary Shares (ADSs) are hereby notified of the Company's Annual General Meeting. A copy of the Notice of Meeting from the Company, which includes the agenda for such Meeting, is enclosed.
Holders of Infosys ADSs at the close of business of the above-specified ADS record will be entitled, subject to any applicable provision of Indian law, of the Deposited Securities or of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company, to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, pertaining to the amount of Shares or other Deposited Securities represented by their respective American Depositary Shares. Upon receipt of the enclosed Voting Instruction Form, duly signed, by the above-stated deadline, the Depositary shall notify such voting instruction to the Chairman of the Company, or such other director that the Chairman may designate, and appoint the Chairman or that other person designated by the Chairman as representative of the Depositary and the Registered Holders to attend such meeting and vote the Deposited Securities in the direction so instructed by such Registered Holder. (Beneficial owners of ADSs who hold their ADSs through and received materials from a bank or broker nominee should complete a voting instruction in accordance with the instructions from that bank or broker nominee).
If the Depositary does not receive instructions from a Registered Holder, such Registered Holder may under certain circumstances be deemed to have instructed the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company to vote such Deposited Securities.
Upon the written request of a Registered Holder on such record date, received on or before the date established by the Depositary for such purpose, the Depositary shall endeavor insofar as is practicable and permitted under the applicable provisions of law and of the Memorandum and Articles of Association governing Deposited Securities of the Company to vote or cause to be voted the amount of Deposited Securities represented by such American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt in accordance with the instructions set forth in such request.
For the purposes of Section 4.07 of the Deposit Agreement, in the event that the Depositary receives express instructions from Registered Holders to demand a poll with respect to any matter to be voted on by Holders, the Depositary may notify the Chairman or a person designated by the Chairman of such instructions and request the Chairman or such designee to demand a poll with respect to such matters and the Company agrees that the Chairman or such designee will make their reasonable best efforts to demand
a poll at the meeting at which such matters are to be voted on and to vote such Shares in accordance with such Registered Holder's instructions; provided, however, that prior to any demand of a poll or request to demand poll by the Depositary upon the terms set forth herein, the Company shall, at its expense, deliver to the Depositary an opinion of Indian counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary, stating that such action is in conformity with all applicable laws and regulations and that the demand for a poll by the Depositary or a person designated by the Depositary will not expose the Depositary to any liability to any person. The Depositary shall not have any obligation to demand a poll or request the demand of a poll if the Company shall not have delivered to the Depositary the local counsel Opinion set forth in this paragraph.
Under Indian law voting of Shares is by show of hands unless a poll is demanded by a member or members present in person or by proxy holding at least one-tenth of the total Shares entitled to vote on the resolution or by those holding paid up capital of at least Rs. 50,000. A proxy may not vote except in a poll.
The Depositary agrees not to, and shall ensure that the Custodian and each of their nominees does not, vote, attempt to exercise the right to vote, or in any way make use of, for purposes of establishing a quorum or otherwise, the Shares or other Deposited Securities represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced by a Receipt other than in accordance with such instructions from the Registered Holder, or as provided below. The Depositary may not itself exercise any voting discretion over any Shares. If the Depositary does not receive instructions from any Registered Holder with respect to any of the Deposited Securities represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Registered Holder's Receipts on or before the date established by the Depositary for such purpose, such Registered Holder shall be deemed, and the Depositary shall deem such Registered Holder, to have instructed the Depositary to give discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company to vote such Deposited Securities; provided that (x) no such discretionary proxy shall be given with respect to any matter as to which the Company informs the Depositary (and the Company agrees to provide such information as promptly as practicable in writing) that (i) the Company does not wish such proxy given, (ii) substantial opposition exists or (iii) the rights of the holders of Shares will be adversely affected and (y) the Depositary shall not have any obligation to give such discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company if the Company shall not have delivered to the Depositary the local counsel opinion and representation letter set forth in the next paragraph.
Prior to each request for a discretionary proxy upon the terms set forth herein, the Company shall, at its own expense, deliver to the Depositary (aa) an opinion of Indian counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary, stating that such action is in conformity with all applicable laws and regulations (bb) a representation and indemnity letter from the Company (executed by a senior officer of the Company) which (i) designates the person to whom any discretionary proxy should be given, (ii) confirms that the Company wishes such discretionary proxy to be given and (iii) certifies that the Company has not and shall not request the discretionary proxy to be given as to any matter as to which substantial opposition exists or which may adversely affect the rights of holders of Shares.
Shares which have been withdrawn from the depositary facility and transferred on the Company's Register of Members to a person other than the Depositary or its nominee may be voted by such persons. However, Registered Holders who wish to withdraw Shares to vote at a shareholders meeting may not receive sufficient advance notice of shareholders meetings to enable them to make such withdrawal of the Shares in time to vote at the meeting. In addition once withdrawn from the depositary facility, Shares may not be able to be redeposited.
