Item 8.01. Other Events.

On October 15, 2009, a subsidiary of Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company" or "Cognizant"), entered into a definitive agreement (the "Agreement") with UBS AG and an affiliate thereof to acquire UBS Service Centre (India) Private Limited ("UBS ISC") for a purchase price of approximately $75 million. The purchase price will be funded from the Company's current cash reserves. UBS ISC, based in Hyderabad, India, has been a captive service provider to various UBS entities.

In connection with the Agreement, a subsidiary of the Company and UBS AG entered into a services agreement (the "Services Agreement") pursuant to which Cognizant's subsidiary will provide a range of services, including, but not limited to, business process outsourcing ("BPO"), knowledge process outsourcing ("KPO"), information technology services and remote infrastructure management services to various UBS entities. The Company expects to receive an aggregate of approximately $442 million of revenue under the Services Agreement during its five-year term. There can be no assurance that the Company will receive or recognize such amount of revenue during such period or that the Services Agreement will not be terminated prior to its expiration in accordance with its terms.

The UBS ISC currently employs approximately 2,000 associates. Their deep capabilities in wealth management, investment banking, asset management research and remote IT infrastructure management will help the Company strengthen its business and knowledge process capabilities, deepen its financial services domain knowledge, and enhance its capabilities to provide integrated services across consulting, technology and outsourcing.

Subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, the transaction is expected to close in December 2009.
