PRESS RELEASE

NEW YORK, NY and MUMBAI, INDIA, Jan 07, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- WNS (Holdings) Limited (NYSE: WNS), a leading provider of global business process outsourcing (BPO) services, today announced that it will make its second scheduled term loan repayment of $20 million on its existing $200 million term loan facility, of which $170 million is currently outstanding. In addition, WNS intends to make its third voluntary prepayment of $15 million of the term loan. Both payments will be made on January 11, 2010, in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. WNS has previously made two voluntary prepayments of $5 million each of the term loan in April and July 2009, respectively.

After these payments are made, the outstanding amount under the term loan will be reduced from the original $200 million to $135 million, and WNS will have repaid a total amount of $65 million as against scheduled repayments of $40 million. The next scheduled repayment of the term loan facility of $20 million is due in July 2010.

"This is the largest amount that we are repaying on the term loan to date, and it demonstrates the strength of WNS's balance sheet," said Alok Misra, WNS' Group CFO. "While the prepayment of $15 million will result in a one-time cost of approximately $1 million due to unwinding of interest rate swaps, the future interest savings are significant and will boost our overall margins. Our cash flows continue to be strong and we will consider making additional prepayments on this term loan in the future in order to further reduce our interest expense," he added.
