Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On December 11, 2015, Mr. Mohanbir Sawhney notified the Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ExlService Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), Mr. Garen Staglin, of Mr. Sawhney’s decision to resign from the Board. Mr. Sawhney’s resignation will take effect as of December 31, 2015. His resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company.

On December 14, 2015, the Board, pursuant to recommendation from the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, appointed Mr. Nitin Sahney to be a member of the Board, effective January 1, 2015. Mr. Sahney will serve as a Class III director, which directorship is the same class as the director whom he replaces. Mr. Sahney was also appointed to serve on the Board’s Audit Committee and the Board’s Nominating and Governance Committee. Mr. Sahney was most recently the President and Chief Executive Officer of Omnicare, Inc. The Board determined that Mr. Sahney satisfies the requirements pertaining to director independence under the applicable provisions of federal securities laws and the Marketplace Rules of the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Mr. Sahney will be entitled to the compensation the Company offers its other non-executive directors, including annual retainers and equity compensation in the form of Company restricted stock units. For more information on the compensation of the Company’s directors, please refer to the disclosure under the heading “Director Compensation for Fiscal Year 2014” in the Company’s Proxy Statement for its Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 19, 2015 (filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2015).

A copy of the press release regarding Mr. Sahney’s appointment is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference.
