Other Events

On July 17, 2009, Satyam Computer Services Limited (“Satyam”) issued a press release announcing that the Company Law Board (“CLB”) has given permission to the Central Government of India (the “Central Government”) to withdraw FOUR of the SIX directors appointed by the Central Government on the Board of Directors of the Satyam (the “Board”). The Central Government decided to retain Mr. Achuthan and Mr. T N Manoharan as directors on the Board, and to withdraw the appointments of Mr. Kiran Karnik, Mr. Deepak Parekh, Mr. Tarun Das and Mr. S B Mainak as directors on the Board.

As a result of such withdrawal, the Board now consists of six directors, of which two directors are independent directors and were appointed by the Central Government, and four directors are nominee directors appointed by Venturbay Consultants Private Limited, a holder of approximately 43% of the outstanding share capital of Satyam.

Satyam’s Audit Committee now consists of two independent directors, Mr. T. N. Manoharan and Mr. Achuthan.

	•		The rules of the Indian stock exchanges on which Satyam’s equity shares are listed require that Satyam’s Audit Committee must have a minimum of three directors. Two-thirds of the members of Audit Committee shall be independent directors.

	•		Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 303A.06 of the Listed Company Manual of the New York Stock Exchange require that all the members of Satyam’s Audit Committee be independent.

Satyam will take all appropriate steps to fill up the vacancy caused in the Audit committee and the Board to the extent required, expeditiously and in any case well within the timelines mandated under home country laws.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. Copies of orders of the Central Government and the CLB dated July 17, 2009 are attached hereto as exhibit 99.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.
