Virtusa and Polaris collectively will have approximately 18,000 employees, generating $826 million of pro forma revenue for the twelve months ended September 30, 2015.

Upon the closing of the Polaris transaction, the combination of Virtusa and Polaris would create a leading global provider of IT services and solutions to the banking and financial services industry segment.
