Issuer Free Writing Prospectus Dated July 24, 2006
Filed Pursuant To Rule 433
Registration Statement No. 333-135590
(Relating To Preliminary Prospectus Dated July 3,
2006)
WNS (Holdings) Limited
On July 20, 2006, WNS (Holdings) Limited filed Amendment
No. 1 to its Registration Statement on
Form F-1 to revise
and update certain disclosures that had been provided in its
preliminary prospectus dated July 3, 2006. Certain of the
disclosures in the preliminary prospectus included in Amendment
No. 1 to the Registration Statement that revised the
disclosure in the preliminary prospectus dated July 3, 2006
are set forth below. References to we,
us, our and the company are
used in the manner described in the preliminary prospectus dated
July 3, 2006.
Updates to information relating to AVIVA contracts
Subsequent to the issuance of our preliminary prospectus on
July 3, 2006, we executed an agreement with AVIVA to
postpone the start of its option exercise period with respect to
our Pune facility from November 18, 2006 to
December 30, 2007. This information was updated on pages 9
and 10 of our preliminary prospectus contained in our Amendment
No. 1 filing.
Updates to outstanding share and option information
In our Amendment No. 1 filing, we updated certain
information relating to our outstanding shares and options from
as of June 20, 2006 to as of June 30, 2006, being a
more recent practicable date.
As of June 20, 2006, we had 3,899,758 ordinary shares
issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and 66,018
ordinary shares reserved for future issuance under our Stock
Incentive Plan. As of June 30, 2006, we had 3,875,655
ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options
and 90,121 ordinary shares reserved for future issuance under
our Stock Incentive Plan. This change of 24,103 ordinary shares
arose from the forfeiture of options previously issued but
unexercised and the crediting back of this amount into our pool
of available ordinary shares reserved for future issuance under
our Stock Incentive Plan.
In addition, since the issuance of our preliminary prospectus on
July 3, 2006, the number of ordinary shares issuable upon
exercise of options to be effective upon the completion of this
offering and restricted share units to be issued effective upon
the completion of this offering has decreased marginally, due to
lesser amounts being granted to employees. The amounts to be
issued to directors and officers have remained unchanged. The
total amount of 3,000,000 ordinary shares reserved for future
issuance under our 2006 Incentive Award Plan described in our
preliminary prospectus now includes 522,000 (decreased from
600,000) ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of options to be
effective upon the completion of this offering (of which 320,000
(unchanged) are to be issued to certain of our directors
and executive officers and 202,000 (decreased from 280,000) are
to be issued to other employees) and 261,000 (decreased from
300,000) restricted share units to be issued effective upon the
completion of this offering (of which 160,000
(unchanged) are to be issued to certain of our directors
and executive officers and 101,000 (decreased from 140,000) are
to be issued to other employees).
See pages 6, 26, 28, 85, 93 and 119 of our preliminary
prospectus included in the Amendment No. 1 filing.
Corrections in Managements Discussion and
Analysis

computational errors in the disclosures under Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations. Under the caption Managements Discussion

decrease in taxes relating to the rest of our business was
revised to $0.4 million from $0.2 million as reported
in our preliminary prospectus dated July 3, 2006. Under the
caption Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations Fiscal 2005 Compared to Fiscal

prospectus included in our Amendment No. 1 filing, the
increase in revenue from existing clients was revised to

preliminary prospectus dated July 3, 2006 and the increase
in revenue from new clients was revised to $27.3 million
from $24.0 million as reported in our preliminary
prospectus dated July 3, 2006.
Amendments to Principal and Selling Shareholder
Information
In our Amendment No. 1 filing, we updated and clarified
certain information relating to our outstanding principal and
selling shareholders. In particular, we set forth in greater
detail the individual holdings of the three separate legal
entities within the Warburg Pincus group which are the legal
owners of the shares being sold in the offering, and disclosed
the trust ownership structure for another of our selling
shareholders, Theodore Agnew. We also included additional
footnotes 4 and 5 to reflect recent transfers of shares and
options to trusts controlled by Ramesh Shah and Neeraj Bhargava.
See pages 90 to 93 of our preliminary prospectus included in our
Amendment No. 1 filing.
Other minor amendments
In addition to the changes described above, we also updated the
exchange rate information from June 30, 2006 to
July 19, 2006 (see pages 29 and 30 of our preliminary
prospectus included in our Amendment No. 1 filing). We also
corrected a small number of minor typographical errors and made
a small number of conforming changes.
