Code of Business
Conduct and Ethics –
Chief Executive
Officer’s Message

May 21, 2019


132 Turnpike Rd #300, Southborough, MA 01772 | virtusa.com

Dear Fellow Employees and Directors:

You will find our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics in the booklet included with this letter. Our Code is a
reaffirmation of the Company’s commitment to conducting its business ethically and to observing applicable
laws, rules and regulations.

The reputation and continued success of Virtusa Corporation is dependent upon the conduct of its
employees and directors. Each employee and director, as a custodian of the Company’s good name, has a
personal responsibility to ensure that his or her conduct protects and promotes both the letter of the Code
and its spirit of ethical conduct. Your adherence to these ethical principles is fundamental to our future
success.

The Code cannot provide definitive answers to all questions. Accordingly, the Company expects each
employee to exercise reasonable judgment to determine whether a course of action is consistent with the
Company’s ethical standards and to seek guidance when appropriate. Your supervisor will often be the
person who can provide you with thoughtful, practical guidance in your day-to-day duties. We have also
appointed our General Counsel, Paul Tutun, as our Compliance Officer, so you should feel free to ask
questions or seek guidance from Mr. Tutun.

Please read the Code carefully. If you have any questions concerning the Code, please speak with your
supervisor or the Compliance Officer. Once you have read the Code and understand it, please sign the
enclosed acknowledgment and return it to our Compliance Officer. Senior officers, directors and certain other
employees as may be determined from time to time by our Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee will also be asked to confirm annually in writing that they have read, understood and complied
with the Code.

I entrust these principles and policies to you. Please give them your thoughtful and frequent attention.

Sincerely,

Kris Canekeratne
Chief Executive Officer

Introduction
Purpose and Scope
The Board of Directors of Virtusa Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) has established
this Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to aid the Company’s directors, officers and employees in making
ethical and legal decisions when conducting the Company’s business and performing their respective day-to-
day duties. The Code applies to all employees of the Company (including those of its subsidiaries),
regardless of when such person was hired or became associated with the Company.

The Company’s Board of Directors, or a committee of the Board, is responsible for administering the Code.
The Board of Directors has delegated day-to-day responsibility for administering and interpreting the Code to
a Compliance Officer. Our General Counsel has been appointed the Company’s Compliance Officer under
this Code.

The Company expects its directors, officers and employees to exercise reasonable judgment when
conducting the Company’s business. The Company encourages its directors, officers and employees to refer
to this Code frequently to ensure that they are acting within both the letter and the spirit of this Code. The
Company also understands that this Code will not contain the answer to every situation you may encounter
or every concern you may have about conducting the Company’s business ethically and legally. In these
situations, or if you otherwise have questions or concerns about this Code, the Company encourages each
officer and employee to speak with his or her supervisor (if applicable) or with the Compliance Officer under
this Code. If you have any questions or concerns about this Code and you are a director of the Company,
you should speak with the Board of Directors through its Chairman, or a committee thereof responsible for
administering and interpreting this Code.

Contents of this Code


This Code has two sections which follow this Introduction. The first section, “Standards of Conduct,” contains
the actual guidelines that our directors, officers and employees are expected to adhere to in the conduct of
the Company’s business. The second section, “Compliance Procedures,” contains specific information about
how this Code functions including who administers the Code, who can provide guidance under the Code,
and how violations may be reported, investigated and disciplined. This second section also contains a
discussion about waivers of and amendments to this Code.

A Note About Other Obligations


The Company’s directors, officers and employees generally have other legal and contractual obligations to
the Company. This Code is not intended to reduce or limit the other obligations that you may have to the
Company. In particular, each director, officer and employee is subject to the Company’s Policy on Insider
Trading and Disclosure, and employees are subject to the Company’s Employee Handbook. Instead, the
standards in this Code should be viewed as the minimum standards that the Company expects from its
directors, officers and employees in the conduct of its business.

Standards of Conduct
Conflicts of Interest
The Company recognizes and respects the right of its directors, officers and employees to engage in outside
activities that they may deem proper and desirable, provided that these activities do not impair or interfere
with the performance of their duties to the Company or their ability to act in the Company’s best interests. In
most, if not all, cases this will mean that our directors, officers and employees must avoid situations that
present a potential or actual conflict between their personal interests and the Company’s interests.

A “conflict of interest” occurs when a director’s, officer’s or employee’s personal interest interferes with the
Company’s interests. Conflicts of interest may arise in many situations, including the following:

• Outside Employment and Other Affiliations. A conflict of interest may arise if an individual is
simultaneously employed or engaged by the Company and another business concern, particularly a
Company customer or business partner.
• Activities with Competitors. A conflict of interest arises if an individual takes part in any activity that
enhances or supports a competitor’s position, including accepting simultaneous employment with a
competitor.
• Gifts. While entertaining customers in the ordinary course of business is not prohibited, a conflict of
interest may arise if an individual or any member of an individual’s immediate family gives or accepts
any gift with the intent to improperly influence the normal business relationship between the
Company and its customers or other business partners, or gives or accepts any lavish gifts from a
competitor.
• Investments in Other Businesses. A conflict of interest may arise if an individual or any member of
an individual’s immediate family holds a financial interest in an outside business concern,
particularly, a Company customer or business partner. Many factors must be considered in
determining whether a conflict of interest exists in this situation, including the size and nature of the
investment; the ability to influence the Company’s decisions that could affect the outside business
concern; access to confidential information of the Company or of the outside business concern; and
the nature of the relationship between the Company and the outside business concern.
• Conducting Business with Family Members. A conflict of interest may arise if an individual
conducts business on behalf of the Company with a business in which a family member, including
siblings, step-parents and step-children, of such individual or such individual’s spouse, or person
sharing the same household with such individual, is associated in any significant role. The
Compliance Officer must be informed of all situations in which the Company is conducting business
with any member of an employee’s family or person sharing the same household as the employee.

Each individual’s situation is different and in evaluating his or her own situation, a director, officer or
employee will have to consider many factors. Each employee is responsible for promptly reporting to the
Compliance Officer any transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to a conflict
of interest. The Compliance Officer may notify the Board of Directors or a committee thereof or take other

132 Turnpike Rd #300, Southborough, MA 01772 | virtusa.com

action as he or she deems appropriate. Actual or potential conflicts of interest involving a director or
executive officer should be disclosed directly to the Chairman of the Board of Directors or a committee
thereof responsible or administering this Code.

Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations


The Company seeks to conduct its business in compliance with both the letter and the spirit of applicable
laws, rules and regulations. We expect all of our employees to have a sound knowledge of the proper and
improper courses of conduct both with regard to their own activities and those with whom they must deal. We
also expect employees to be familiar with the material laws and regulations applicable to business activities
in their territory. No director, officer or employee shall engage in any unlawful activity in conducting the
Company’s business or in performing his or her day-to-day company duties, nor shall any director, officer or
employee instruct others to do so.

This Code and the compliance with this Code may be subject to the applicable local laws, rules, and
regulations of non U.S. jurisdictions. Accordingly, if there is a conflict between the requirements of the laws
applicable in the United States and those of any other country or jurisdiction which may be relevant in the
circumstances, the Company’s policy is that Company personnel should consult with the Compliance Officer
before taking any action that may be unlawful under, or violate, any such laws.

Protection and Proper Use of the Company’s Assets


Loss, theft and misuse of the Company’s assets have a direct impact on the Company’s business and its
profitability. Directors, officers and employees are expected to protect the Company’s assets that are
entrusted to them and to protect the Company’s assets in general. Directors, officers and employees are also
expected to take steps to ensure that the Company’s assets are used only for legitimate business purposes.

Corporate Opportunities
Directors, officers and employees owe a duty to the Company to advance its legitimate business interests
when the opportunity to do so arises. Each director, officer and employee is prohibited from:
• diverting to himself or herself or to others any opportunities that are discovered through the use of
the Company’s property or information or as a result of his or her position with the Company unless
such opportunity has first been presented to, and rejected by, the Company,
• using the Company’s property or information or his or her position for improper personal gain, or
• competing with the Company.

Confidentiality
Confidential information generated and gathered in the Company’s business plays a vital role in its business,
prospects and ability to compete. “Confidential information” includes all non-public information that might be
of use to competitors or harmful to the Company or its customers if disclosed. Directors, officers and
employees may not disclose or distribute the Company’s confidential information, except when disclosure is

Copyright © 2019 Virtusa Corporation. All Rights Reserved. 5


132 Turnpike Rd #300, Southborough, MA 01772 | virtusa.com

authorized in writing by the Company or required by applicable law, rule or regulation or pursuant to an
applicable legal proceeding. Directors, officers and employees shall use confidential information solely for
legitimate company purposes. Directors, officers and employees must return all of the Company’s
confidential and/or proprietary information in their possession to the Company when they cease to be
employed by or to otherwise serve the Company.

Fair Dealing
Competing vigorously, yet lawfully, with competitors and establishing advantageous, but fair, business
relationships with customers and suppliers is a part of the foundation for long-term success. However,
unlawful and unethical conduct, which may lead to short-term gains, may damage a company’s reputation
and long-term business prospects. Accordingly, it is the Company’s policy that directors, officers and
employees must endeavor to deal ethically and lawfully with the Company’s customers, suppliers,
competitors and employees in all business dealings on the Company’s behalf. No director, officer or
employee should take unfair advantage of another person in business dealings on the Company’s behalf
through the abuse of privileged or confidential information or through improper manipulation, concealment or
misrepresentation of material facts.

Accuracy of Records
The integrity, reliability and accuracy in all material respects of the Company’s books, records and financial
statements is fundamental to the Company’s continued and future business success. No director, officer or
employee may cause the Company to enter into a transaction with the intent to document or record it in a
deceptive or unlawful manner. In addition, no director, officer or employee may create any false or artificial
documentation or book entry for any transaction entered into by the Company. Similarly, officers and
employees who have responsibility for accounting and financial reporting matters have a responsibility to
accurately record all funds, assets and transactions on the Company’s books and records.

Political Contributions
Business contributions to political campaigns are strictly regulated by U.S. federal, state and local law.
Accordingly, all political contributions proposed to be made with the Company’s funds must be coordinated
through and approved by the Compliance Officer. Directors, officers and employees may not, without the
approval of the Compliance Officer, use any of the Company’s funds for political contributions of any kind to
any political candidate or holder of any national, state or local government office. Directors, officers and
employees may make personal contributions, but should not represent that he or she is making any such
contribution on the Company’s behalf. Similar restrictions on political contributions may apply in other
countries. Specific questions should be directed to the Compliance Officer.

Entertaining or Doing Business with the United States and Foreign


Governments; Anti-Bribery and Corruption
Giving anything of value to a government employee for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business is
strictly regulated and in many cases prohibited by law. The Company and its directors, officers and
employees must also comply with U.S. federal, state and local laws, as well as foreign government laws,
governing the acceptance of business courtesies. Directors, officers and employees must refrain from giving
anything of value to U.S. federal, state and local government employees with whom the Company does
business, except promotional items of little intrinsic value and modest refreshments. In addition, directors,
officers and employees should consult with the Compliance Officer before giving anything of more than
nominal value to any government employees of other countries.

The Company does not tolerate or endorse corruption in the marketplace. Employees must ensure that
payments made by or on behalf of the Company are made only for legitimate business purposes. Under no
circumstances is it acceptable to offer, give, solicit or receive any form of bribe or kickback. The
Company is committed to complying with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the OECD Convention on
Combating Bribery of Public Officials in International Business Transactions and the UK Bribery Act of
2010, and any other anti-bribery and corruption statute in each foreign country in which the Company
does business. Due to the complex laws in this area, you should also refer to the Company’s Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act Policy and Company Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy and consult with the
Compliance Officer and General Counsel of the Company with any questions and/or concerns.

Money Laundering or Illicit Financing


Employees must actively guard against the use of the Company’s products and services by third parties
for the purposes of money laundering or illicit financing activity, including terrorist activity. Money
laundering is the process by which the proceeds of criminal activity are moved through the financial
system in order to hide all traces of their criminal origin. Money laundering is an essential part of much
criminal activity and has become the focus of considerable attention by governments, international
organizations and law enforcement agencies throughout the world. By contrast, illicit financing activity,
including activity by or for terrorist groups, focuses on the destination and use of funds that may come
from legitimate or criminal sources, or a combination of the two.

The Company is committed to cooperating fully with law enforcement and regulatory investigations
concerning possible money laundering or illicit financing activity. You must immediately contact the
Company’s General Counsel and Compliance Officer if you are approached in any manner by
government agencies for records and information on customers, agents, or business partners that may be
under investigation. Strict rules specify time frames for complying with such government inquiries or
requests and for reporting certain activities that may bear upon money laundering or terrorist activity.
Therefore, your immediate action is vital in both reporting requests and being responsive when given
instructions by the General Counsel and Compliance Officer.

Corporate Criminal Offence of Failure to Prevent Facilitation of Tax Evasion


Company policy:
The Company is committed to complying with the UK Criminal Finances Act 2017 (“CFA 2017”) which
introduced a new corporate criminal offence of Failing to Prevent the Facilitation of Tax Evasion.

Background and further guidance:


CFA 2017 introduced a new corporate criminal offence of Failure to Prevent Facilitation of Tax Evasion,
with such offence being punishable by an unlimited fine.

A corporate body will be guilty of an offence if a person associated with that body, acting in their capacity as
an associated person, facilitates tax evasion by another person.
The CCO comprises two separate offences:
1. The UK tax evasion facilitation offence relates to the facilitation of UK tax evasion.
2. The foreign tax evasion facilitation offence relates to the facilitation of non-UK tax evasion, e.g.,
German taxes.

Each offence has three requirements:


1. Taxes have been evaded (by either an individual or a legal entity).
2. A person associated with the company (associated person) has criminally enabled or facilitated the
tax evasion.
3. The company has not taken reasonable prevention procedures to prevent its associated person from
enabling or facilitating tax evasion.

“Tax evasion” is conduct that constitutes the common law offence of cheating the public revenue, or the
statutory offences of fraudulently evading taxes. Generally this occurs when a person knows that they
have a tax liability and forms a dishonest intention not to declare it.

“Associated persons” are employees, agents and other persons who perform services for or on behalf of
Company. The corporate criminal offence would arise when a person associated with Company facilitates
tax evasion when acting in their capacity as an associated person.

Therefore, the Company as well as its employees shall not knowingly take any part, or participate, in any
tax evasion schemes and must take all reasonable steps to prevent third parties acting on its behalf (e.g.
subcontractors) and being knowingly concerned in the facilitation of tax evasion.

The Company will be criminally liable unless it can prove that a reasonable internal control system has
been put in place which can prevent the misconduct by the associated person (“reasonable prevention
procedures”). The Company requires each of its employees to adhere to this policy.

Practical example:
Situation: As part of Company negotiations with a new supplier, that supplier suggests that it would be
possible to get a lower price if Company were to make payment without the supplier having to issue an
invoice.
Response: It is not acceptable to pay suppliers unless the Company is in receipt of a valid invoice. The
lower price being offered for payment without an invoice is potentially because the supplier is not
intending to include the payment in their reported revenue, thereby evading the payment of tax on that
income. Any employee agreeing to such an arrangement could be facilitating the evasion of tax by the
supplier and Company could be liable to criminal prosecution under CFA 2017.

Labor and Employment


The Company adheres, and expects its employees to adhere, to all federal, state, and local laws regarding
labor and employment. These include but are not limited to equal employment opportunity, harassment and
discrimination, and safety and health.

Quality of Public Disclosures


The Company is committed to providing its stockholders with complete and accurate information about its
financial condition and results of operations as required by the securities laws of the United States. It is the
Company’s policy that the reports and documents it files with or submits to the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and its earnings releases and similar public communications made by the Company, include
fair, timely and understandable disclosure. Officers and employees who are responsible for these filings and
disclosures, including the Company’s principal executive, financial and accounting officers, must use
reasonable judgment and perform their responsibilities honestly, ethically and objectively in order to ensure
that this disclosure policy is fulfilled. The Company’s Disclosure Committee and senior management are
primarily responsible for monitoring the Company’s public disclosure.

Compliance Procedures
Communication of Code
All directors, officers and employees will be supplied with a copy of the Code upon its adoption by the
Company. In addition, all directors, officers and employees will be supplied and asked to confirm in writing
that they have read and understood, and will comply with, the Code at the beginning of their service at the
Company. Updates of the Code will be provided from time to time. A copy of the Code is also available to all
directors, officers and employees by requesting one from the Compliance Officer or Human Resources
department, or by accessing the Company’s website at www.virtusa.com.

Monitoring Compliance and Disciplinary Action


The Company’s management, under the supervision of its Board of Directors or a committee thereof or, in
the case of accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, the Audit Committee, shall take
reasonable steps from time to time to make a preliminary assessment of where the matter should be
allocated and addressed and (i) to monitor and test compliance with the Code with respect to matters under
its supervision as set forth above, and (ii) when appropriate, impose and enforce appropriate disciplinary
measures for violations of the Code, after making a preliminary assessment of where the matter should be
properly allocated and addressed.

Disciplinary measures for violations of the Code may include, but are not limited to, counseling, oral or
written reprimands, warnings, probation or suspension with or without pay, demotions, reductions in salary,
termination of employment or service and restitution.

The Company’s management shall periodically report to the Board of Directors or the Corporate Governance
Committee on these compliance efforts including, without limitation, periodic reporting of alleged violations of
the Code and the actions taken with respect to any such violation.

From time to time (no less than annually), the Company will also train all relevant employees (i.e., those who
interact with the government or perform, finance, procurement, HR or business functions) and have global
communications on a regular basis to ensure the employees are aware of the critical sections of the Code,
including the FCPA, and UK Bribery Act compliance and how they may report suspected corruption and
bribery.

The Company will also provide training to any other employees or directors the Company deems
appropriate.

The Company shall conduct periodic audits of the Company’s compliance programs and compliance with the
Code, including FCPA, UK Bribery Act and anti-corruption compliance programs and processes of the
Company.

Reporting Concerns/Receiving Advice

Communication Channels
Be Proactive. A copy of the Code will be maintained on the Company’s website at www.virtusa.com. Every
employee is encouraged to act proactively by asking questions, seeking guidance and reporting suspected
violations of the Code and other policies and procedures of the Company, as well as any violation or
suspected violation of applicable law,rule or regulation arising in the conduct of the Company’s business or
occurring on the Company’s property. If any employee believes that actions have taken place, may be taking
place, or may be about to take place that violate or would violate the Code, he or she is obligated to bring the
matter to the attention of the Compliance Officer.

Seeking Guidance. The best starting point for an officer or employee seeking advice on ethics-related issues
or reporting potential violations of the Code will usually be his or her supervisor. However, if the conduct in
question involves his or her supervisor, if the employee has reported the conduct in question to his or her
supervisor and does not believe that he or she has dealt with it properly, or if the officer or employee does
not feel that he or she can discuss the matter with his or her supervisor, the employee may raise the matter
with the Compliance Officer.

Communication Alternatives. Any officer or employee may communicate with the Compliance Officer by any
of the following methods:
• In writing (which may be done anonymously as set forth below under “Reporting; Anonymity;
Retaliation”), addressed to the Compliance Officer, by U.S. mail to c/o Virtusa Corporation, 132
Turnpike Road, Suite 300, Southborough, MA 01772;
• By e-mail using a web based submission tool https://virtusa.silentwhistle.com/ethfeedback/index.jsp
(which may be done anonymously as set forth below under “Reporting; Anonymity; Retaliation”); or
By phoning an off-site voicemail account named Whistleblower Hotline which we have established for receipt
of questions and reports of potential violations of the Code. The off-site voicemail account may be reached at
1-800-698-2816 (US) or +1 402-999-0449 (International) and calls may be made anonymously as set forth
below under “Reporting; Anonymity; Retaliation”.

provide will be shared only on a “need to know” basis with those who are involved in addressing your concern.

Reporting Accounting and Similar Concerns. Any concerns or questions regarding any Company policy or
procedure or applicable law, rules or regulations that involve accounting, internal accounting controls or
auditing matters should be directed to the Audit Committee or a designee of the Audit Committee. Officers,
employees or any other party may communicate with the Audit Committee or its designee:
• in writing to:
Chairman of the Audit Committee, c/o Virtusa Corporation, 132 Turnpike Road, Suite 300,
Southborough, MA 01772; or

• by phoning the Whistleblower Hotline at 1-800-698-2816 (US) or +1 402-999-0449 (International)

Officers and employees may use the above methods to communicate anonymously with the Audit
Committee.

You may also report any such violations or ask questions by using the following:
• General Counsel and Compliance Officer
By Email: [email protected]
By Phone: 508-389-7450
• Vice President, Enterprise Risk Management
By Email: [email protected]
By Phone: 508-389-7289

Misuse of Reporting Channels. Employees must not use these reporting channels in bad faith or in a false or
frivolous manner. Furthermore, employees should not use the off-site voicemail account to report grievances
that do not involve the Code or other ethics-related issues.

Director Communications. In addition to the foregoing methods, a director may also communicate concerns
or seek advice with respect to this Code by contacting the Board of Directors through its Lead Director, or a
committee thereof responsible for administering and interpreting this Code.

Reporting; Anonymity; Retaliation


When reporting suspected violations of the Code, the Company prefers that officers and employees identify
themselves to facilitate the Company’s ability to take appropriate steps to address the report, including
conducting any appropriate investigation. However, the Company also recognizes that some people may feel
more comfortable reporting a suspected violation anonymously.

If an officer or employee wishes to remain anonymous, he or she may do so, and the Company will use
reasonable efforts to protect the confidentiality of the reporting person subject to applicable law, rule or
regulation or to any applicable legal proceedings. In the event the report is made anonymously, however, the
Company may not have sufficient information to look into or otherwise investigate or evaluate the allegations.
Accordingly, persons who make reports anonymously should provide as much detail as is reasonably

Copyright © 2019 Virtusa Corporation. All Rights Reserved. 12


132 Turnpike Rd #300, Southborough, MA 01772 | virtusa.com

necessary to permit the Company to evaluate the matter(s) set forth in the anonymous report and, if
appropriate, commence and conduct an appropriate investigation.

No Retaliation
The Company expressly forbids any retaliation against any officer or employee who, acting in good faith,
reports suspected misconduct. Any person who participates in any such retaliation is subject to disciplinary
action, including termination.

Waivers and Amendments


No waiver of any provisions of the Code for the benefit of a director or an executive officer (which includes
without limitation, for purposes of this Code, the Company’s principal executive, financial and accounting
officers) shall be effective unless (i) approved by the Board of Directors or, if permitted, the Audit Committee
(or the committee of the Board to whom the matter has been allocated or referred) , and (ii) if applicable,
such waiver is promptly disclosed to the Company’s stockholders in accordance with applicable U.S.
securities laws and/or the rules and regulations of the exchange or system on which the Company’s shares
are traded or quoted, as the case may be.

Any waivers of the Code for other employees may be made by the Compliance Officer, the Board of
Directors or, if permitted, a committee thereof.

All amendments to the Code must be approved by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof and, if
applicable, must be promptly disclosed to the Company’s stockholders in accordance with applicable U.S.
securities laws and/or the rules and regulations of the exchange or system on which the Company’s shares
are traded or quoted, as the case may be.
