Slide 13

Why Did New Mountain Vantage Invest in Virtusa? Virtusa is a high-quality, fast-growing, digitally-focused IT Services Provider with limited “old economy” or legacy exposure. Virtusa plays in the higher value-add, higher growth “digital transformation” area within IT Services. Combined with minimal exposure to declining revenue services, we believe Virtusa is well positioned for industry leading revenue growth. Virtusa has historically been a “sales growth at all cost” company, which has resulted in a lack of focus on optimizing margins and reducing high customer and industry concentration. This has manifested itself in disappointing and inconsistent earnings growth. NMV has developed a framework to increase margins closer to peer levels and to mitigate revenue concentration issues which will further position Virtusa towards best-in-class digital IT Services Providers. NMV began investing in Virtusa in the fall of 2019, with the view that the market underappreciates Virtusa’s capabilities and future earnings growth potential. NMV is confident that through enhanced Board capabilities, governance and accountability, Virtusa can finally achieve the profitable revenue growth, margin improvement and revenue diversification objectives it has been articulating for many years, which should drive stronger, more consistent earnings growth versus historical performance. Stronger and more consistent earnings growth should in turn be rewarded by the market with a higher valuation multiple more consistent with peers with similar capabilities, performance and growth rates.

To Succeed, We Believe Virtusa Needs to Focus on the Key Drivers of Value Creation for IT Services Companies Stable / Growing Margin Revenue AND Earnings Growth Consistency Diversified Revenue Base What We Believe Drives Value for IT Services Companies IT Services is a global growth industry with a long-term trend towards outsourcing Digital Transformation tailwinds should provide many years of revenue growth tailwinds Companies that grow revenues that translate into consistent earnings growth are rewarded with premium valuation multiples IT Services is a primarily people-driven business where utilization, staffing pyramid & subcontractor management are key to consistent margins This has allowed for industry margin defensiveness in downturns, as well as gradual margin expansion through increased economies of scale and operating leverage Due to uncontrollable exposure to corporate IT spend, investors tend to favor companies that have worked to diversify their end market and individual client revenues This helps to insulate the business from exogenous shocks in end market demand and client specific risks, making it easier to manage margins and benefit from broader macro trends Disciplined Capital Allocation IT Services is a cash-generative business model with a fragmented global market Many firms have made acquisitions a key pillar of their strategy to bolster capabilities Firms that can sustain disciplined, accretive and strategically sound capital allocation policies are looked upon favorably by investors Note: Views on the drivers of value are the opinion of New Mountain Vantage and are in no way to be treated as definitive, all-encompassing, or investment advice


Slide 16

How We Got Here: Virtusa’s Claims of “Working Constructively” with NMV Have Been Misleading and Its Actions Concerning April 2020 – May 2020: NMV engages with Virtusa and delivers an in-depth presentation to management on value creation, requesting Board representation to help drive change. Over numerous discussions of our ideas, Management does not ask a single question, delaying any formal feedback until after the May 13 earnings call where Virtusa introduces to shareholders its “Three Pillar Strategy” – a strategy Management claims to have launched a year earlier despite never publicly mentioning it “…Working Constructively with NMV to Carefully Evaluate its Recommendations…” – Virtusa Board 8/17/20 Governance Concern Level Genuine Engagement May 2020 – June 2020: Virtusa takes NMV through a superficial Board recruitment process, ultimately ending with Virtusa’s offer to allow NMV to interview and  “take credit” for helping add a new independent director handpicked by the Company. NMV declines this construct and privately nominates three highly qualified directors to the Board for the 2020 election. Our private nomination was meant to serve as a placeholder with the goal of still coming to an agreement with Virtusa.  Virtusa unilaterally adds the previously unnamed director and publicly discloses NMV’s nomination of directors June 2020 – August 2020: Virtusa begins a campaign of Board size changes, first with the addition of a 10th director and stating that they would like to recruit an 11th. This was followed by a subsequent shrinking of the Board to 9 through an undisclosed and previously unenforced Director age limit policy. This effectively reduced the current class of directors from three seats to two seats, and thus unilaterally diminished the rights of NMV and all shareholders to impact a staggered board A more extensive history of our dialogue with Virtusa’s Board and Management can be found in the appendix

Why Is Change Warranted? History of sustained Total Shareholder Return (TSR) underperformance: Virtusa’s share price declined by -35% in the five-year period ending 6/18/201, compared to a return of +57% for the Russell 3000 in the same period and +38% for Virtusa’s Direct Peers2. Since our involvement became public on 6/18/20 to the filing of NMV’s proxy statement on 8/19/20, Virtusa’s share price has returned +26% vs 9% for the Russell 3000 Dismal operating performance Weak EPS growth despite repeated commitments of “Profitable Revenue Growth,” with Virtusa’s revenues having grown multiple times faster than its Adj. EPS from FY2016 to FY2020 (+119% revenue growth vs. only 4% EPS growth) Worst-in-class margins that are nearly ~50% below the relevant IT Services peer group average and ~50% below the “mid-teens or higher” targets management has discussed for more than seven years Significant earnings volatility resulting from client/industry revenue concentration and poor margin management which Virtusa has failed to address despite repeated promises over many years Misguided M&A and capital allocation strategy Disappointing financial performance is apparent in Virtusa’s ROIC3, which has contracted from ~16% in at LTM 12/31/15 (before the consummation of the Polaris Transaction) to ~10% in FY2020, despite spending ~$650mm on M&A in the past five years Questionable governance & oversight Material corporate governance deficiencies including a staggered board, no separation of Chairman and CEO roles, inability to call special meetings or act by written consent, and a lack of diversity on the Board, coupled with troubling actions to entrench management Misaligned compensation Flawed management compensation structure which has rewarded unprofitable revenue growth, with CEO compensation growing by 86% from FY2016 to FY2020 versus total Adj. EPS growth of only 4% over the same period Source: Bloomberg, Virtusa Company Filings, NMV estimates and projections (1) The day before NMV involvement became public (2) Unless otherwise stated, Direct Peer Group is defined as Endava PLC, Globant SA, EPAM Systems, Perficient Inc.

Virtusa Has Had Contradicting Philosophies When It Comes to Its Diversification Strategy Source: Virtusa Public Company Filings & Transcripts, emphasis added by NMV The Result: Diversification Hasn’t Improved Management has Shown No Consistent Strategy in Addressing Revenue Concentration – No Wonder the Lack of Progress “As we look forward, we are encouraged by our ongoing diversification strategy both geographically and across the client portfolio” “The client concentration of this large customer, which for Polaris standalone was about at 45%; and the combined Virtusa platform, it has now come down to 15%, allowing Virtusa Polaris to grow back to at least 25%” “So Virtusa has put together for ourselves the strategic vision, more diversification in the company…. Looking for more diversification, we're looking for more in digital…” “We always watch for diversification. But at the same time, look, you're in these large clients. You're going to be getting a big chunk of revenue there. You're not going to run away and say, "You know, I'm watching diversification”. “we now have the addressable spend to be able to continue to expand and scale notwithstanding we were the first digest or ingest the headwind …we will be very aggressively pursuing the opportunity in terms of identifying and ideally winning some of the new areas…” Largest Single Sector BFSI: 54% BFSI: 64% BFSI: 67% BFSI: 62% BFSI: 57% It was clear Virtusa had a diversification “strategy” as far back as 2014 In 2017, Virtusa was excited to grow its top client, inconsistent with “diversification” Virtusa now cares about diversification after saying 8 months earlier Citi could grow to 25% Later, Virtusa acknowledges “it is what it is” when it comes to large clients Even after a price cut with Citigroup, Virtusa is eager to get bigger with them again “…over the next 2 to 5 years …will be continuing to grow our top 2 to 10 customers… And we do that by really continuing to grow those large enterprises, where really we've been getting preferred vendor status…We believe we can grow those very well”.

Virtusa’s Current Promises Regarding Future Margin Potential Look Eerily Similar to Past Promises – Why Believe Them Today? Source: Virtusa Public Company filings & transcripts, emphasis added by NMV “Our own financial model in terms of reaching to the mid-teens is accreting margins by 100, 150 basis points…We will continue to stay on this road map of 100 to 150 basis points; therefore, getting to our first milestone of mid-teens in the next three to five years. Once we achieve that, we are going to ratchet that again to get to the high teens. That is not where we are going to stop. We first want to get there and then lever from there to the high teens” Margin Expansion – Then Margin Expansion – Now? Despite this constant, repetitive rhetoric of “mid-teens margins” over the past decade, Virtusa’s margins have not sustainably improved Ranjan Kalia, CFO, Cowen Conference (5/30/12) Virtusa had 8.6% GAAP Operating Margins at the time of this statement “Beyond that, we expect that we will accrete margins by about 100 to 150 basis points. And our goal is to get to the mid-teens margin in the mid to long term, which is the 3 to 5-year period. And we feel very confident, given the changes that we've made, given the rigor that we have with respect to pipeline activities, the diversification strategy that we deployed as a part of our Three-Pillar strategy, we feel that we are in very good stead to be able to accrete margins according to our plans and get to our mid- to long-term margin goals of mid-teens.” Kris Canekeratne, CEO, Q1 FY21 Earnings (7/30/20) Virtusa had 8.7% Adj.

Despite Promising Mid-Teens Margins for Years, Virtusa has Made No Progress Yet Continues to Cite the Same Margin Levers as its Focus Source: Virtusa Public Company Filings and Transcripts Gross Margins Haven’t Improved… Virtusa Has Attempted to Reduce Its Use of Subcontractors and Improve Utilization for many Years and with Limited Results “Subcontractor percentage went down helping the gross margins…Overall we believe that that's going to be a level for us, because we believe that our subcontractor percentage is still higher than the industry level” “We picked up another large program and that large program had a significant contractor onsite presence and that significant contractor onsite presence is also impacting the gross margin” “Our current ‘17 guidance calls for a 200 bps reduction to non-GAAP operating margins …reflecting the impact of higher onsite effort, contractor resourcing and currency headwinds as well as a slightly lower utilization” "So but we still have lot of gross margin [levers] that are there, that we believe still have lot of room for them to grow starting even from utilization. We believe that a 79% utilization can probably accrete over the next two years into the low 80% and touching into the mid-80s….There is lot of utilization type of initiatives…" “We have initiated programs to improve labor pyramid efficiencies, utilization and the direct cost versus built spread….we have initiated programs to reduce our use of subcontractors, while also optimizing our staffing pyramid. “ Virtusa was attempting to address these issues back in FY12 Though Virtusa appears willing to accept work that exacerbates these issues Despite years of efforts to mitigate these risks, they continue to be cited as issues Management continues to emphasize strategies to improve utilization Should we believe Management can finally achieve this on their own? “We expect our non-GAAP operating margins to be lower than our previous expectations, driven primarily by lower utilization and higher mix of contractors” …but continues to cite these as margin headwinds Q3 FY13 Call (1/30/13) Q1 FY15 Call (8/5/14) Q2 FY17 Call (11/9/16) Q3 FY17 Call (2/09/17) Q3 FY20 Call (2/6/20) Q4 FY20 Call (5/13/20) …and Utilization Has Not Shown Progress

Virtusa’s Issues Have Been Compounded by Subpar Capital Allocation Decisions Such as the Acquisition of Polaris Ltd. Source: Bloomberg, Virtusa transcripts, Virtusa public filings, emphasis added by NMV (1) Wedbush Securities report 9/8/16 Polaris Acquisition “Rhetoric” Polaris Acquisition Reality In November 2015, Virtusa announced its intention to purchase Polaris Consulting Ltd. The deal would allow Virtusa to leverage its scale to grow in already large clients and gain significant revenue synergies The deal would broaden the capabilities within the BFSI vertical, ultimately allowing increased growth Polaris would be an accretive use of cash in FY18 and beyond Polaris would increase Virtusa’s scale, allowing for operating leverage & margin improvement “This [acquisition] is highly strategic…. First, the combination of our two Companies will create a fully integrated provider of comprehensive solutions and services across the BFSI industry. Second, our combination with Polaris will meaningfully expand our addressable market. And third, the transaction will enhance our ability to pursue larger consulting and outsourcing contracts” Polaris Deal Call – 11/5/2015 Nov. 5th, 2015: On the day of the Polaris announcement, Virtusa stock price fell 10% -38% -6% March 3rd, 2016: Virtusa stock price fell 38% in total, destroying >$650mm of shareholder value. Management’s Commentary Shares Declined Massively from Polaris Announcement to Close The acquisition of Polaris was a doubling down by management on both sector and client concentration, exacerbating already prevalent concentration issues Virtusa had been trying to mitigate Polaris was thought to be ~90% legacy IT1, significantly diluting the quality and growth of Virtusa’s digital engineering focused business The “revenue” synergies were the result of a significant price cut that Virtusa/Polaris had to ensure from Citigroup in exchange for the Preferred Vendor Status. Polaris ended up being a dilutive deal Polaris was poorly executed and financed: The original implied value of Polaris was ~$340mm, but Virtusa ultimately paid nearly ~$450mm in total in the multi-step deal. Virtusa also back-end financed with equity at a lower stock price

Slide 36

Management Has Failed to Disclose a Concrete Plan to Investors The New Mountain Vantage Nominees have compelling skill sets and alignment to bring the required change to the Virtusa Boardroom In re-branding the “Three Pillars” strategy, Virtusa ironically codified the list of failed promises to investors over the past decade.  The “Three Pillars” strategy, supposedly in effect for over a year, was never mentioned publicly by Virtusa until after NMV initiated our engagement These “Pillars” are not new. Virtusa Management has been attempting to increase margins, diversify revenue and grow profitably for well over 5 years with little success to date Recent rhetoric regarding “Three Pillars’” success lacks concrete evidence of improvement and is very short term in nature Despite this weak performance, the Board of Directors has failed to hold management accountable

First, profitable revenue growth; second, revenue diversification, which can be categorized by geography, industry and client; and third, increasing gross and net margin. We have concrete strategies, tactics and timetables in place to deliver in each of these areas.” -Kris Canekeratne, FY2020 Earnings Call Virtusa Management and Board claim the “Three Pillars” strategy has been in place for over a year, yet never mentioned the concept of any cohesive strategy until their Q4 FY20 Earnings call.

Our track record with work like this, our digital strength combined with our size, scale and agility, positions us well to win significant share” -Q4 2020 Earnings Call “Diversification efforts, the second pillar. Our efforts to increase our geographical diversification was strengthened in fiscal year 2020, during which time, we separated out the Americas and EMEA P&L. We aligned senior executives to oversee our efforts in each region and have made key local leadership hires, including a Managing Director focused on Europe and the Middle East” -Q4 2020 Earnings Call “Coming to our third pillar, our fiscal year '21 plan also include several strategies underway to reduce costs and improve both gross and net margins from Q1 2020 level. We have initiated programs to improve labor pyramid efficiencies, utilization and the direct cost versus build spread. The initiatives are focused on the core profit drivers of our business, people supply chain, mobility, project profitability and G&A cost reduction. And we have initiated programs to reduce our use of subcontractors, while also optimizing our staffing pyramid.” -Q4 2020 Earnings Call “Polaris operating margins are lower than Virtusa, but we anticipate driving Polaris margin expansion going forward, which will result in a combined company operating margins in the mid-teens on a non-GAAP basis over the next 3 to 5 fiscal years” -Polaris Deal Call November 5, 2015 “Our long-term goal is going to be continue to bring the combined organization, which is now running at a $1 billion platform, in the next 2 to 5 years into the midteens operating margin on a non-GAAP basis” -Cowen Conference June 1, 2016 “We have been focused on profitable revenue growth” -Needham Growth Conference January 16, 2013 “Starting in fiscal 2018, the compensation committee has determined that it is appropriate and in the best interests of the Company to target the CEO's total compensation up to the 75th percentile of the peer group. The compensation committee made this change in recognition of the CEO's long-term success in driving profitable revenue growth for Virtusa and unique ability and expertise to execute on the Company's strategic business plan, which in turn we believe will enhance shareholder value” -FY2017 Proxy Statement “As we look forward, we are encouraged by our ongoing diversification strategy both geographically and across the client portfolio” -Q4 FY2014 Earnings Call “So Virtusa had put together for ourselves the strategic vision, more diversification in the company” -JPM Conference May 17, 2018

Year-over-year, Virtusa’s global pipeline has more than doubled to $5.2 billion, with digital representing over 70% of the total. This accomplishment is a function of new programs and campaigns, targeting new business, driving account margin accretion and accelerating core business development with digital and cloud partners.” -Virtusa Letter to Shareholders (8/17/20) Facts About the “Pipeline” “Now I want to caution you a little bit, we are obviously very pleased with the strong uptick in our pipeline, but this pipeline is total contract value, so these are longer-term. So all of this pipeline will not convert for this year” -Kris Canekeratne, CEO, JPM Conf. (5/14/20) “While our pipeline continues to grow, we have limited visibility on when some of these deals will close, and therefore, do not believe it would be prudent to provide formal guidance at this time” -Ranjan Kalia, CFO,Q4 FY20 Earnings Call (5/13/20) “But having said that, it's important for me to stress and underscore that much of that very significant pipeline growth is in early stage. And much of that will move over the next several months and quarters. And from an expectation standpoint, we expect that this pipeline growth will actually only translate into tangible revenue into second half and beyond” -Kris Canekeratne, CEO, Q4 FY20 Earnings Call (5/13/20) Management admits that “pipeline” is not a metric that converts easily into revenue. The company also does not disclose pipeline or in-quarter conversions. This is not a metric investors can depend on.

The misrepresentation of Vikram Pandit as a “shareholder representative” given he has 100% voting authority over his election, holds a preferred security with downside protection, and shareholders cannot vote him off the Board The recent rushed addition of a tenth Board member in reaction to NMV’s request to add a highly-qualified and credible director nominee with an IT Services background in Prasad Chintamaneni  The addition of Abid Neemuchwala as a Class III director (not up for election until 2022) instead of giving shareholders the ability to vote on his candidacy in 2020 – inconsistent with the three prior Director adds Shrinking of the director class currently up for election by enforcing a previously undisclosed age limit requirement.

Adding former decision makers from your largest clients does not appear to be the best way to help you diversify revenue Furthermore, given the degree of client importance, we question if CEO Kris Canekeratne had a pre-existing relationship with these Board members “So Virtusa has had put together for ourselves the strategic vision, more diversification in the company. If you look at it our revenue mix, was very – it's very BFSI oriented. Looking for more diversification, we're looking for more in digital and we were looking for our West Coast base for ourselves. ” Ranjan Kalia, JPMorgan Conference – 5/17/2018 This statement was made one year after adding Vikram Pandit to the Board (Citi relationship) and immediately after adding Deborah Hopkins (Citi relationship) NMV Questions: Are multiple people who have benefited each other throughout their careers truly independent and capable of real Management oversight?

We question if Mr. Neemuchwala is the most appropriate Director addition for Virtusa when a 10% shareholder recommended more competitive candidates with more relevant skillsets for Virtusa's future opportunity sets and both with solid track records: Mr. Neemuchwala’s most recent role as the former CEO of Wipro ltd. Ended after only ~4 years and at the age of 52 Wipro does not represent what Virtusa aspires to be: Wipro FY20 Total Digital % Revenue2: ~22% Wipro Revenue CAGR during tenure: ~4% Mr. Neemuchwala’s previous role as Head of BPO at Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. lacks relevancy to Virtusa’s current capabilities We question the timing and process of Mr. Neemuchwala’s recruitment -53% Mr. Neemuchwala was added to the Board in a rushed fashion and in the midst of Virtusa’s self-described “constructive dialogue” with NMV. Virtusa refused to disclose the name of the director to NMV before his appointment 1 despite suggesting we could interview him and “take credit” He has been added to the Class III Directors, who will not be elected until 2022 vs. the current class of directors being elected in 2020 Track Record as Wipro CEO We question if Mr. Neemuchwala’s value creation track record is something that Virtusa strives to replicate, given the significant underperformance of Wipro during his tenure3  Mr. Neemuchwala’s departure from Wipro Ltd. after only 4 years as CEO appears to have been for poor performance: “A new leadership is required to push digital acceleration, improved execution, automation and stronger large deals for Wipro going ahead” – Bloomberg/NDTV Wipro Stock Price during Mr. Neemuchwala’s Tenure as CEO Abid Neemuchwala

Virtusa’s Board Has Not Implemented or Enforced a Pay-for-Performance Philosophy Joe Doody and Al-Noor Ramji, the two Virtusa Board Members up for election this year, have been on the Compensation Committee during this period of underperformance and allowed it to continue on their watch Virtusa’s Management has repeatedly been overcompensated because of a flawed compensation structure Virtusa’s management has been paid increasingly more despite delivering significant share price underperformance – not consistent with a pay for performance culture The Board’s flawed compensation plans have consistently incentivized a revenue growth at all cost mentality The Board’s questionable selection of the peer group has contributed to overcompensation The metrics by which Management are judged are decidedly short- term, undemanding, and do not correspond with driving shareholder value in Virtusa – there is no alignment with the “Three Pillars” strategy Analysis of longer-term compensation practices reveal the Board’s willingness to “move the goal posts” in order to maximize management compensation Management does not appear to eat its own cooking. Despite being paid largely in stock, total equity ownership has consistently shrunk

In Fact, Virtusa’s Constant Peer Group Changes Over the Last Five Years Raise Questions as to the Selection Process Virtusa vs. Proxy Peer Sets Over the Last Five Years In three of the last four years, Virtusa’s Compensation Committee has remixed the peer group to companies with higher paid CEOs. Not only has Virtusa’s CEO compensation indexed to the high end of the peer group, but the peer group has significantly inflated over the past 5 years, raising questions Virtusa keeps dropping smaller companies from the peer group in favor of larger companies even though Virtusa’s market capitalization has shrunk over the 5Y period Source Bloomberg, annual proxy filings.

Slide 65

What is Wrong with Virtusa’s Compensation Structure? Source: Virtusa Proxy Filings, Virtusa transcripts Compensation Issue Virtusa's overall compensation structure  highly incentivizes revenue growth, and does not align with the Three Pillars As a result, Virtusa’s management team has been incentivized to grow revenue where they can, whether it is from poorly underwritten/expensive M&A, or low-quality contracts from their largest clients. Much of what matters is that it grows revenue Revenue and profitability targets are not linked in any way à Management can still get paid a significant amount for missing profits but hitting revenue. This is one reason why Virtusa’s management has been compensated highly Virtusa had historically linked both its variable cash compensation plan and its long-term incentive plan to single year pay periods This had allowed Virtusa’s management team to be overpaid in years when it is simply recovering from previously poor results.   While Virtusa has recently increased the measurement period for their LTI, it is unknown how rigorous the targets were made given it has not disclosed the current two-year cumulative goals The target margin for 100% payout in FY20 IS BELOW LEVELS SEEN IN FY2016. Management is getting paid to make back the margin it lost Despite touting “100-150 bps of margin expansion” per year, the Board was ok paying up for 40 bps in FY2020 and no cumulative improvement since FY2016 The Board has refused to align Virtusa’s compensation plan to Management’s stated “mid-teens” margin targets Why It Matters Revenue Growth at All Costs Short Term Incentives Unchallenging Margin Targets Poor Metric Selection Management has NO yardstick for ROIC (such as Adj. EPS) that factors in cost of capital for its actions. This has led to value destructive capital allocation The recent change for LTI targets from Adj. OI to Adj. Net Income is not a real change à there is no substantial difference between these metrics for management, other than increased ability to manipulate Adj. Net Income Virtusa only recently added a TSR modifier to its compensation plan, and even then, only created a +/- 20% band for top and bottom quartile performance. This does not adequately align management with stockholders


Slide 66

This Is a Board and Compensation Committee that Has Played Games with Compensation – a Look at FY2017 Source: Virtusa Annual Proxy Filings, Bloomberg (1) Virtusa FY16 Adj. Operating income of $80m + Polaris Profit before exception items and tax of $30mm (conv. At avg. USDINR 64) - ~$3mm of contribution to Virtusa from Polaris in FY16 = ~$107mm run-rate assumed Adj. Operating income In August 2016, one quarter into FY2017, it became apparent that Management would not be able to reach its performance goals for the year. The Company reduced guidance on August 9th, 2016, and Virtusa stock fell another ~15% How the Virtusa Board Failed Shareholders in FY2017 Instead of holding management accountable, the Compensation Committee decided that the Management team needed to be “incentivized” further. On September 26th, 2016, the Compensation Committee “Reset” the targets for a 9-month period ending 3/31/17. Notably, Management was already 1/3 of the way through this performance period The “Reset” then re-weighted the performance metrics from 50% Revenue / 50% Adj. Operating Income to 70% Revenue / 30% Adj. Operating Income à it is this type of behavior that has historically incentivized management to grow revenue at all costs.  What was the rationale for this shift?   Management achieved its “reset” revenue target, while failing to achieve their Adj. Operating Income target à Management has shown willingness to grow unprofitably in order to be compensated in the past, why is now any different? In June 2016, the Compensation Committee approved a special 5-year performance share unit grant. The reasoning behind this was the consummation of Polaris along with the effort required to integrate and run a larger organization àVirtusa stock had fallen nearly ~40% from ~$55 (before the Polaris deal) to ~$35 (the day of the Special Grant) The operating income vesting thresholds are not tied to a progressive timetable à Virtusa Management would be paid for hitting the thresholds at ANY point in the five-year grant period irrespective of when Between the announcement of the Polaris deal in November 2015 and the announcement of FY17 earnings in May 2017, Virtusa shares returned -52%... …In FY17, Virtusa’s CEO achieved 0 of 4 initial goals and 1 of 2 “reset” goals, got a raise and was compensated higher than he ever was before

The compensation committee made this change in recognition of the CEO's long-term success in driving profitable revenue growth for Virtusa and unique ability and expertise to execute on the Company's strategic business plan, which in turn we believe will enhance shareholder value” -FY2017 Proxy, approved by Mr. Ramji & Mr. Doody, after Virtusa Failed their FY2017 Say-on-Pay Vote What Management Got for Polaris and FY17 -52% -40% Massive Adj.

EPS being down 21% from F16 to F18 Virtusa’s stock and Adj. EPS did not even reach previous highs in FY18. Management got paid for partly digging out of the hole they created Targets were undemanding -  Adj. operating income 100% targets for the year were below the FY16 actual level, despite spending ~$260mm on M&A in FY16 & FY17 Despite average TSR, Virtusa management was still compensated at the upper quartile of peers While Revenue growth was impressive, much of this was accomplished through the purchase of eTouch Once again, the Board paid management handsomely for achievement of margins that were still below FY16 levels Compensation Committee Members Responsible?

Operating Income to 2-year stacked revenue and Adj. Net Income à This is not substantially different! An extremely low banded TSR modifier (+/- 20%) that only kicks in at the top and bottom quartile of peer performance “The compensation committee used cumulative revenue growth and cumulative adjusted net income from operations as these metrics are core to the Company's short and long-term success. These metrics are rigorous and also support the Company's three pillar strategy of high-quality revenue growth, revenue diversification and margin expansion” –FY20 Proxy If the “Three Pillars” are so important to Virtusa’s Long-Term success, why not tie compensation directly to them?

Slide 72

If Elected to the Board, the New Mountain Nominees Will Work to Help Implement the Following Framework New Mountain recommends that Virtusa adopt/execute the below strategies: Formation of a Business Optimization Committee within the Board with a discrete mandate to formulate concrete, long-term, value creative strategies for achieving: Revenue Diversification of client exposures and industry verticals Significant adj. operating margin expansion with measurable medium and long-term targets Work with the broader Board to implement a long-term M&A and capital allocation framework that creates uniformity around underwriting and deal selection Push for further changes to NEO compensation packages that more closely align shareholder interests and value-creating metrics with management pay practices Enhance investor relations function including: Increasing the frequency and breadth of investor outreach Committing to hold an inaugural investor day by the end of calendar 2020 to finally articulate to shareholders the "concrete strategies, tactics and timetables" we have waited so long for related to the newly coined “Three Pillars” Work with the broader Board to further overhaul and enhance Virtusa's corporate governance profile Prasad Chintamaneni & Patty Morrison can be the change agents Virtusa needs to achieve its full potential as a company


Slide 73

Business Optimization Committee Summary We believe that a small working group within the Board, populated with both existing directors and the NMV Board nominee(s), if elected, would be the most effective way to formulate and drive a new and improved strategic direction of Virtusa  This small group will be tasked with working with Management to form concrete strategies and plans to address: Revenue diversification issues, and Margin improvement issues This group will help management develop a long-term (3-5 year) target for revenues, margins and Adj. EPS so that investors have a basic yardstick by which to judge Management.   We propose that the Company then hold their inaugural Investor Day in 6-9 months in order to codify these revised strategies & articulate to the investor community how it will achieve its goals Mechanically, this committee would develop and recommend strategies that the broader Board would then approve.  It is in no way meant to take strategic decisions away from the broader Board but instead to make the process of developing a detailed plan and interacting with Management less burdensome 1


Slide 74

Business Optimization Committee: New Mountain Vantage Framework to Fix Revenue Diversification Issues 1 Disproportionally invest in high growth, newer verticals (healthcare, technology, e.g.) relative to mature industries such as BFSI Move top talent in sales, P&L & client management from mature verticals to these newer, higher growth verticals Onboard seasoned and highly qualified senior hires to enhance credibility in these newer verticals Pursue value accretive acquisitions in newer and high growth verticals, practices and regions to enhance capability and scale as well as evolve a compelling portfolio of differentiated solutions Incentivize compensation throughout the organization to grow smaller, new, and diversified client accounts as well as higher growth verticals Leverage partners and intermediaries to gain traction and credibility in new areas Establish firmer accountability metrics that can be governed and measured with relation to revenue diversification à Virtusa currently has no firm “targets” to hit! Identify and work with high concentration clients to repurpose talent for more digital purposes à be prepared to walk away from business if it does not fit the strategic plan


Slide 75

Business Optimization Committee: New Mountain Vantage Framework to Fix Margin Issues 1 Initiate a broad, industry-wide study for the Board to fully understand the granular cost baselines for the IT Services industry Radically drive utilization up and subcontractor use down. This should be at the heart of the organization à be prepared to pass over business you cannot profitably fulfill Reformulate the delivery pyramid over time including greater leverage of university and IT bootcamp hiring Aggressively shift investment into digital capabilities to drive a more valuable product set in the future Implement a robust market initiative to drive greater revenue realization from clients through broader account level pricing/COLA increases, targeted premium pricing for digital skills, rate increases tied to tenure and experience level of resources, reconfiguring commercial constructs to outcome and output-based models etc. Identify and work with lower margin clients or contracts to either achieve a “right rate-right role” framework or transition work to an alternate pyramid and commercial construct à be prepared to attrition business that does not fit the strategic plan Incentivize margin improvement throughout the entire organization à Virtusa NEO compensation plan has no long-term margin targets. This is unacceptable for driving value SG&A spend must be closely monitored at the Board level for return on investment

Slide 77

Addressing the Current Environment: COVID-19 NMV understands that the current global health crisis is unprecedented, and we believe we can add value as Virtusa navigates through the crisis and positions itself for the next leg of growth and evolution During the Global Financial Crisis, Prasad Chintamaneni was the Head of Cognizant’s Banking & Financial Services Practice for North America and helped Cognizant manage its largest industry practice through that trying time Through the GFC, Cognizant was able to maintain revenue growth and strengthen their position with key customers, ending up more as a strategic advisor vs. pure outsourcing partner. This allowed it to exit the crisis with industry leading growth We believe that, while difficult, crises can set companies up for long-term success and industry leadership With that in mind, we suggest Virtusa: Defend key talent in the short-term, as they will be the key to increasing digital wallet share in the medium term Do not defend revenue for revenue’s sake. Clients are asking Virtusa for excessive price concessions or demands, this maybe the right time to allow less desirable revenue to roll-off while retaining key talent for other projects Manage margin in an intelligent, long-term focused manner. While important to retain key talent, this is also an opportunity to clear the deck of redundant resources and fixed cost built up over the last 10 years of growth Reproduction from NMV’s 4/29/20 presentation to Management 1


Slide 78

Improve Capital Allocation / Deal Underwriting & Selection Develop a firm framework for M&A at the Board and C-suite level à Virtusa’s track record for M&A has no pattern or long-term strategic direction & exhibits low returns Scrutinize potential deals against Virtusa’s stand- alone options à ask: is this a superior use of capital than internal investment, or just a way to get bigger faster? Evaluate potential deals against the strategies of revenue diversification, margin improvement, and profitable growth à ask: does this deal make Virtusa a more profitable and diversified company, or double down on existing clients/industries? Build/enhance a dedicated internal team within Virtusa to source, evaluate, and execute an accelerated tuck-in M&A strategy focused at building and enhancing Virtusa’s capabilities Create a retrospective on previously done deals to honestly evaluate performance à ask: did these deals add the value we intended? If not, how do we avoid the mistakes of the past Create a compensation framework for M&A à Virtusa currently does not factor in M&A or ROIC to any compensation metrics. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR CREATING ACCOUNTABILITY 2


Slide 79

Improve Named Executive Officer Compensation New Mountain Vantage has engaged Compensation Strategies, Inc., a leading compensation consultant to advise on building the most value creative compensation plan for Virtusa Create a “grid modifier” system for short-term compensation metrics, where the achievement of cash bonus can only be achieved if both adj. operating income AND revenue are above a minimum level We believe this will help stop Virtusa’s willingness to trade revenues for profits Revise long-term compensation metrics to reflect a) a three-year period and b) per share metrics. Virtusa’s current long-term compensation metric of Adj. Net Income inherently does not consider responsible capital allocation on a per share basis Directly incorporate strategic priorities of revenue diversification, profitable growth, and margin improvement into the compensation plan Increase the current TSR modifier bands on compensation à the current bands of only bottom/top quartile performance and +/- 20% adjustment do not adequately incentivize value creation for shareholder Increase overall rigor for achievement of 100% payout threshold à Virtusa management has consistently been paid to earn margins that are not above their FY15 levels, and received significant scaling of payout for relatively small increases in metrics 3


Slide 80

Enhance Virtusa’s Investor Relations & Outreach functions 4 Build out / hire additional dedicated Investor Relations personnel to strengthen relationships with Wall Street banks / investors Investor Relations personnel are key components of successfully managing a public company. In addition to ensuring the company is represented correctly for research analysts and market data companies, they also maintain a consistent and open line of communication for Management and allow for investor feedback Clearly and concisely communicate long-term targets for the business as well as the concrete roadmap to achievement and tangible milestones for investors to measure Investors currently do not know Managements’ long-term expectations for the earnings power or growth of Virtusa Broaden research coverage to increase investor visibility and interactions For example, EXLServices, a smaller India-based IT company by revenue than Virtusa has coverage by Citigroup, JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America Plan and host annual investor days, giving management a clear opportunity to tell the Virtusa story to investors and research analysts and update them on long-term goals


Slide 81

New Mountain Vantage Framework to Improve Corporate Governance New Mountain Vantage has been a corporate governance investor through its entire 14+ year history. We believe that good corporate governance is imperative for delivering top tier returns Evaluate the de-staggering of the Virtusa Board over a reasonable period à empirical studies have shown that companies with classified boards may show a reduction in firm value1 Consider separation the role of Chairman & CEO to increase management accountability Enable the ability for shareholders to act by written consent Enable the ability for shareholder to call a special meeting Further increase Board diversity 5 (1) https://www.glasslewis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/2019_GUIDELINES_ShareholderInitiatives.pdf

Virtusa’s Board of Directors Is Intentionally Mischaracterizing the NMV Candidates and the History of our Dialogue Source: Virtusa’s Letter to Shareholder, 8/25/2020, Virtusa Public Company filings Virtusa False Narratives? NMV Facts “A recent investor, New Mountain Capital (NMC), is trying to force their way into the boardroom with misinformation, after reneging on their prior settlement offer. We urge you to reject this strong-arm tactic, which jeopardizes the progress that has been made at Virtusa” NMV began investing in Virtusa in the fall of 2019. We have never “reneged” on any prior settlement offer, and have been consistent since our June 14th compromise offer that we would accept one NMV representative and one independent not sourced by the company. “Our Board has already undergone significant refreshment – five new directors or more than 50% of the Board since 2016” As previously noted, Virtusa has “refreshed” its Board with questionably independent directors who appear to have prior relationships with Vitrusa and/or Virtusa's Board members and questionable skill sets versus Virtusa’s opportunities “In that regard, we note that Mr. Chintamaneni has no public company board experience and, while having relevant IT industry experience, has in his career primarily had mid-level sales and management roles” Mr. Chintamaneni was a named executive officer in Cognizant’s Proxy, with the title of EVP & President, Global Industries & Consulting. Ultimately, Mr. Chintamaneni held profit & loss responsibility for ~$12bn of revenue, roughly 10x the size of Virtusa “Ms. Morrison, while more seasoned, mainly brings skills that are already possessed by the Board” Virtusa currently states that healthcare and hi-tech are two areas of focus for its diversification efforts. No other member of the Virtusa Board has significant public company healthcare experience, while Ms. Morrison was previously the EVP of Customer Support Services & CIO of Cardinal Health, as well as on the Board of Baxter International and Splunk Inc. “Instead, NMC seeks to control 20 percent of the Board with director candidates who do not bring additive experience...” "...gaining disproportionate influence over the Board" Mr. Chintamaneni is an NMV representative and Ms. Morrison is a completely independent candidate, with no formal ties to New Mountain and introduced to NMV in May 2020. Both candidates will rigorously represent all shareholders


Slide 87

Why New Mountain Believes Shareholders Should Elect Both of Our Highly Qualified Nominees We believe that the level of accountability needed to improve Virtusa is only achieved by more change at the Board level, rather than less The current Virtusa Board has frequently acted to disenfranchise shareholders by adding Board members and changing director classes to avoid direct accountability and entrench management The current Virtusa Board has exhibited a high degree of insularity, given overlapping relationships Due to the classified Board structure, it is not possible for investors to voice their opinions on the Board, as a whole, in any given year The installation of two new Board members will ensure a sufficient level of change to the Boardroom while not causing undue disruption. Three would be preferred but Virtusa took that option away from shareholders The current Board lacks Healthcare sector experience, IT Services delivery experience, the operational expertise needed to scale and achieve profitable growth, and true common shareholder representation If elected, NMV’s two nominees can help address many of the above-mentioned Board deficiencies

Virtusa’s History with Its Largest Customer, Citigroup, Is a Relevant Case Study on Revenue Concentration Issues Source: Virtusa Public Company filings & transcripts, emphasis added by NMV. (1) As estimated by JPMorgan research (2) Pro Forma Citi FY16 revenue as disclosed in company transcript dating 1/13/16 (3) Citigroup FY21E revenue as per Cowen & Company commentary Citigroup Revenue Growth Citigroup Relationship Commentary from Renegotiation (1/6/20) Bryan Bergin – Cowen& Company LLC: Just wanted a clarification on your large banking client. Understanding it sounds like fiscal '21 is going to be flattish over the $200 million run rate, is there anything notable in the margin structure or margin impact based on the disclosure that you had a couple of weeks ago? Ranjan Kalia, Virtusa CFO: So Bryan, I think it's going to be a little bit early to comment on that. Let me explain why. If you look at it, the productivity savings that we have contractually committed, some of them are going to come through savings, some may come out through discounts, very similar to what happened back in '17. And that really gets shape as the bottoms-up revenue visibility is put together, and you can really have a much better idea of where the productivity savings and how much can be derived and how much you really will have to pocket it out as discount. That whole piece is putting -- getting computed as we -- we'll probably spend Q4 working on all that stuff, and we can probably walk you through better in May. So I don't think we have full visibility in terms of the margin impact at the account level, but from a company level, we continue to feel we are going to be a margin-accretive company. ~6% CAGR Citigroup has been Virtusa’s largest client since the Polaris Deal, and recently went through their second big contract renegotiation in five years (Jan. 6, 2020) While Virtusa has grown them as a client, we believe this growth to be low-quality -  growth only comes after first agreeing to significant pricing cuts and discounts This constant push-and-pull dynamic makes it difficult to manage margins, as evidenced by the Companies inability to quantify the margin impact of their most recent pricing concessions even 8 months after agreeing to them In retrospect, Citigroup growth has been below Company average organic growth of ~10% in the same period1 and likely harmful to margins The cycle begins again as Virtusa is excited to grow again in Citigroup. Ultimately, will this end with another renegotiation and pricing concession? Through August 2020, 8 months after the latest Citi renegotiation, Management still hasn’t quantified the impact to margins (2) (3)

Virtusa never asked for the names or backgrounds of the candidates we offered to provide June 15, 2020: Virtusa rejects our 6/14 compromise proposal and now offered NMV the opportunity to interview and jointly "take credit" for a second independent candidate Virtusa had yet to identify in exchange for not seeking Board seats in a contested election.

That is the road map on how we essentially double our operating profit margin in three to five years.” -Tom Holler, EVP & CSO (12/8/2011, Barclays Conference) “We will continue to stay on this road map of 100 to 150 basis points; therefore, getting to our first milestone of mid-teens in the next three to five years.

And inside of that, our focus has always been it's not just a journey where we really say, we will be in the mid-teens in the next 3 to 5 years, but it's really all about annual accretion for us.” -Ranjan Kalia, CFO (9/6/2018, Citi Conference) “So we're really rolling forward our expectations for our margins that over the next 4 to 5 years, we will be a mid-teens margin company.” -Ranjan Kalia, CFO (11/8/2018, Q2 FY2019 Earnings) “where we are very focused on the next 2 to 4 years of the journey and trying to really get ourselves into the teens type of operating margin” -Ranjan Kalia, CFO (5/16/2019, JPM Conference) “And we believe those will continue to be in play for Virtusa and nothing really changes for us from long-term objectives, which is continue to be an above industry growth rate, the revenue company and continue to deliver margins 100 to 150 basis points.” -Ranjan Kalia, CFO (8/8/2019, Q1 FY2020 Earnings) “we believe that we continue to be on the road map to growing margins by 100 to 150 basis points annually, which would mean that we will have plenty levers in our gross margin as well as in our SG&A.” -Ranjan Kalia, CFO (11/7/2019, Q2 FY2020 Earnings) “We believe this plan forms a basis for revenue growth and margin accretion to improve from Q1 levels both the post fiscal year '21 and fiscal year '22 and then return to strong above-industry revenue growth and earnings growth faster than top line as they emerge from the pandemic and the recessionary headwind it has generated.” -Kris Canekeratne, Chairman & CEO (5/13/2020, Q4 FY2020 Earnings) “We are staying with our mid-term -- mid to long-term margin targets. We believe that as we exit fiscal year '21, we already exit Q4 or in Q4 in double-digit margins. That gives us a great platform going into '22.

Our goal is to grow faster than the industry due to the strength of our client portfolio, our ability to address CIO priorities and our capability in business transformation.” -Ranjan Kalia, CFO (1/26/2011, Q3 FY2011 Earnings) “We're making the investments necessary to create a foundation from which to grow our business profitably.” -Ranjan Kalia, CFO (8/1/11, Q1 FY2012 Earnings) “And with top-line growth, we have an opportunity to continue to expand our operating profit margins.” -Tom Holler, EVP & CSO (12/8/2011, Barclays Conference) “Our focus remains on driving our top line while realizing significant operating margin leverage and growing EPS at a faster rate than revenue.” -Ranjan Kalia, CFO (7/30/2012, Q1 FY2013 Earnings) “We have been focused on profitable revenue growth.”-Ranjan Kalia, CFO (1/16/13 Needham Conference) “while we will experience a slow start to FY17, we anticipate accelerated revenue growth above the industry rate and strong margin accretion in the beginning of fiscal second quarter.” -Ranjan Kalia, CFO (5/16/2016, Q4 FY2016 Earnings) “Starting in fiscal 2018, the compensation committee has determined that it is appropriate and in the best interests of the Company to target the CEO's total compensation up to the 75th percentile of the peer group. The compensation committee made this change in recognition of the CEO's long-term success in driving profitable revenue growth for Virtusa and unique ability and expertise to execute on the Company's strategic business plan, which in turn we believe will enhance shareholder value.” (8/1/2017 Fiscal 2017 Proxy) Source: Virtusa Earnings and Conference Transcripts

Virtusa’s Long History of Failed Promises – Profitable Revenue Growth (cont.) “We believe these actions will strengthen Virtusa's position to capitalize on the areas of significant growth in our industry and enhance long-term profitable growth.”-Kris Canekeratne, Chairman & CEO (8/8/2017, Q1 FY2018 Earnings) “while we will experience a slower start to FY '20, we anticipate accelerated revenue growth beginning in second quarter and double-digit top line growth for full year at the midpoint of our guidance. Continued execution of our profitability initiatives are expected to allow us to deliver 100 basis points of non-GAAP operating margin accretion and strong EPS growth in excess of revenue growth in FY ‘20.” -Ranjan Kalia, CFO (5/15/2019, Q4 FY2019 Earnings) “With respect to the first pillar, profitable revenue growth, it is clear that the Global 2000 buying behaviors are changing in today's environment. For the foreseeable future, clients will be predominantly focused on cost reduction and/or strategic projects that involve critically important workload. These are essential versus discretionary projects and generally longer term and recurring in nature, which provides us with the ability to better manage and improve margins. Our track record with work like this, our digital strength combined with our size, scale and agility, positions us well to win significant share.”-Kris Canekeratne, Chairman & CEO (5/13/2020, Q4 FY2020 Earnings) Source: Virtusa Earnings and Conference Transcripts

We have removed some of Virtusa’s named 10K peers given far superior scale (such as Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. Or Accenture plc), though these peers have generally performed well. We included Digital peers to reflect Virtusa ~61% digital revenue and aspiration to be a best-in-class digital provider. Interestingly, Virtusa removed these high-performing digital peers in its FY20 10K filing, while simultaneously reclassifying their digital revenue to a much greater total percentage
