The Annual Meeting (the “Annual Meeting”) of iGATE Corporation (the “Company”) was held on April 11, 2013. The matters that were voted upon at the Annual Meeting and the number of votes cast for or withheld are set forth below.

Proposal 1. Election to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) of three (3) Class B directors to serve for three-year terms:

On April 11, 2013, Mr. William G. Parrett was elected to the Board of the Company at the Company’s Annual Meeting. Mr. Parrett commenced service on the Board effective as of such date and was appointed to the Compensation Committee of the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board .

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Parrett and the Company or any employee or affiliate of the Company, pursuant to which Mr. Parrett was nominated as a director. In addition, neither Mr. Parrett nor any member of his immediate family has or will have any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction with the Company. Mr. Parrett qualifies as an “independent director” as that term is defined by Rule 5605 of the NASDAQ listing standards.

As a member of the Board, Mr. Parrett will be compensated in accordance with the Company’s director compensation program. The compensation structure for Mr. Parrett includes: (1) annual cash compensation of $40,000 per annum which Mr. Parrett may take in cash or shares of restricted stock or split between cash and shares of restricted stock as he may decide; and (2) an annual grant of $85,000 which will be split in equal amounts between options to Mr. Parrett at fair market value as of the date of his appointment, vesting annually over a period of three (3) years, and restricted stock which will vest after one (1) year, and at the election of Mr. Parrett will be paid either half at the time of vesting and the other half being paid at the termination of his service to the Board or all of which may be deferred until the date of his termination of service to the Board. Service on Board committees will result in additional annual grants of $10,000 per committee which Mr. Parrett may take in cash or shares of restricted stock or split between cash and shares of restricted stock as he may decide, in consideration of his service on such committee. If Mr. Parrett is subsequently appointed as chairperson of any committee of the Board, he will receive an annual grant of $15,000 per committee which he may take in cash or shares of restricted stock or split between cash and shares of restricted stock as he may decide, in consideration of his service as chairperson of such committee.

Mr. Parrett brings extensive business experience to his new role at the Company, as described in a press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
