Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Ru


Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
(d) On December 21, 2008, eTelecare Global Solutions, Inc. ("eTelecare") announced its intention to delist its American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") from The Nasdaq Global Market ("Nasdaq") and its common shares, par value PhP 2.00 per share (the "Common Shares" and together with the ADSs, the "Shares") from the Philippine Stock Exhcnage, Inc. ("PSE") in connection with the recent closing of the tender offer for eTelecare's outstanding Shares by EGS Acquisition Corp. (the "Purchaser"), an affiliate of Providence Equity Partners ("Providence") and Ayala Corporation ("Ayala"). On December 11, 2008, the Purchaser announced the completion of the tender offer. As of the expiration of the offer, approximately 18,898,255 Common Shares and approximately 10,387,391 ADSs were validly tendered in the offer, which together represent a total of approximately 98.7% of the outstanding Shares. The Purchaser has funded the payment for all validly tendered Shares at the offer price of $9.00 per Share, in cash, without interest thereon and less any required taxes or costs required to be deducted or withheld in accordance with applicable law or rules, including payment of any stock transaction taxes, brokers' commissions and other fees customarily for the account of a seller in connection with the "crossing" of the Common Shares on the PSE. As a result of the tender offer, eTelecare believes it no longer has 400 round lot holders. In accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and Nasdaq, eTelecare intends to file a notification of removal from listing on Nasdaq on Form 25 with the SEC on or about January 2, 2009 and the trading of the Company's ADSs on Nasdaq will be suspended on that date. The withdrawal of the ADSs from listing on Nasdaq will become effective 10 days after the filing of the notice on Form 25 with the SEC. eTelecare has not arranged for the listing or quotation of its securities on another U.S. securities exchange or for quotation of its securities on any other quotation medium in the United States. The Company believes that, as a result of the completion of the tender offer, it meets the delisting standards of the Philippines Stock Exchange. The Company intends to voluntarily delist from the Philippines Stock Exchange following the delisting of its ADSs from the Nasdaq and the termination of its registration and reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1984 (the "Exchange Act").

The Acquisition Agreement provides, in part, that promptly upon the acceptance for payment of, and the payment by EGS for, at least 66.67% of the total number of outstanding Shares tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to a tender offer made in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, EGS will be entitled to designate such number of directors as will give EGS, subject to compliance with Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act, representation equal to at least that number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, which is the product of (1) the total number of directors (giving effect to any increase in the number of members of the Board as a result of the appointment of EGS' designees) multiplied by (2) the percentage that (A) such aggregate number of Shares beneficially owned by EGS or its affiliates bears to (B) the total number of Shares then outstanding (including all Shares that are accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, but excluding any shares held by eTelecare and its subsidiaries).
