Company Announcements

CHENNAI, India, Oct. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sify Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: Sify) (the “Company”), a leading integrated information communications technology (or ICT) Solutions and Services provider in India, today announces that the previously announced ratio change of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) to equity shares from one (1) ADS representing one (1) equity share to one (1) ADS representing six (6) equity shares (the “ADS Ratio Change”) will become effective on October 4, 2024 (the “Effective Date”).

For the Company’s ADS holders, the ADS Ratio Change will have the same effect as a one-for-six reverse ADS split and will have no impact on an ADS holder’s proportional equity interest in the Company, except to the extent that the ratio change would have resulted in an ADS holder owning fractional ADSs. There will be no change to the Company’s equity shares.

On the Effective Date, registered holders of the Company’s ADSs held in certificated form will be required on a mandatory basis to surrender their certificated ADSs to Citibank, N.A., the depositary bank (the “Depositary”), for cancellation and will receive one (1) new ADS in exchange for every six (6) existing ADSs surrendered. Holders of uncertificated ADSs in The Depository Trust Company and Direct Registration System will have their ADSs automatically exchanged and need not take any action. The exchange of every six (6) then-held (existing) ADSs for one (1) new ADS will occur automatically at the Effective Date, with the then-held ADSs being cancelled and new ADSs being issued by the Depositary.

The Company’s ADSs will continue to be traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “SIFY”, under the following new CUSIP:

New ADS CUSIP		82655M206

No fractional new ADSs will be issued in connection with the change in the ADS Ratio Change. Instead, fractional entitlements to new ADSs will be aggregated and sold by the Depositary and the net cash proceeds from the sale of the fractional ADS entitlements will be distributed to the applicable ADS holders by the Depositary, in each case in accordance with the Depositary’s then current procedures and practices and after any deductions as provided in the deposit agreement between the Company and the Depositary for the ADSs.

As a result of the ADS Ratio Change, the ADS price is expected to increase proportionally, although the Company can give no assurance that the ADS price after the ADS Ratio Change will be equal to or greater than six times the ADS price before the change.
