• Domestication Proposal Filed

  An S-4 registration statement has been filed to change the jurisdiction of incorporation from Bermuda to Delaware, subject to shareholder approval at a special general meeting.

• Share Conversion Mechanics

  Each existing common share will automatically convert into one share of Genpact Delaware common stock, with no change in the number of shares outstanding or proportional ownership.

• Governance Changes

  Under Delaware law, shareholders will face a higher threshold (20% vs 10%) to call special meetings, gain the right to remove directors, and be subject to exclusive forum provisions for certain lawsuits.

• Expected Timeline

  The domestication is expected to be completed on or around March 1, 2027, if shareholders approve the proposal and the board gives final authorization.

Shareholders are being asked to approve a move of Genpact's legal domicile from Bermuda to Delaware, a shift that would bring the company under U.S. corporate law and reshape certain shareholder rights. The board points to cost savings, tax considerations, and broader investor appeal as the drivers. A special meeting vote is required, with completion expected around March 1, 2027. While the underlying business remains unchanged, the transition to Delaware law introduces new governance provisions—including a higher threshold for calling special meetings and exclusive forum clauses—that could influence shareholder activism and litigation. The filing also registers 180.8 million shares to be issued upon domestication, though this is a technical conversion, not a capital raise.
