Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
.
All of the Common Shares reported as beneficially owned that were acquired for cash
consideration were acquired with working capital of the acquiring party and no Common Shares were
acquired with borrowed funds.
Crimson, Crimson Asia and Crimson Velocity originally invested an aggregate of $19,365,225 in
securities of SPI Technologies Inc. (SPI) (the former parent of eTelecare). On August 19, 2003
eTelecare was spun-off from SPI and Crimson, Crimson Asia and Crimson Velocity received Common
Shares of eTelecare as a dividend from SPI. In connection with the spin-off (i) Crimson received
929,450 Common Shares of eTelecare, (ii) Crimson Asia received 2,181,044 Common Shares of eTelecare
and (iii) Crimson Velocity received 2,499,152 Common Shares of eTelecare.

him to sit on the Board of Directors. In addition, (i) on November 1, 2006, Mr. Ho was granted
options to purchase 6,250 Common Shares at an exercise price of $8.00 per share (the Option),
(ii) on April 24, 2007, Mr. Ho was granted 3,704 ADSs (as defined below) subject to a Restricted
Stock Unit (the RSU), which vests in equal amounts on a quarterly basis from the date of the
grant, and (iii) on May 21, 2008, Mr. Ho was granted
7,656 ADSs subject to a RSU, which vests in
equal amounts on a quarterly basis from the date of the grant.
On September 3, 2007, eTelecare amended its Articles of Incorporation to reflect a change in
the number of authorized Common Shares to 65,000,000 Common Shares and effected a two-for-one
reverse split of all the outstanding Common Shares.
All references contained in this statement to amounts of Common Shares owned by the Reporting
Persons are expressed in post-split numbers.
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction
.
Item 4 is hereby supplemented as follows:
On September 19, 2008, eTelecare entered into an Acquisition Agreement (the Acquisition
Agreement) by and between eTelecare and EGS Acquisition Co LLC (BidCo).
Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, BidCo will commence a tender offer in the
Philippines and the United States (the Offer), which may be amended from time to time in
accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, to purchase all of eTelecares outstanding
Shares (as defined below), at a price per share in cash of $9.00 (the Offer Price). Subject to
the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, it is
7
anticipated that the Offer will commence no later
than 25 business days after the public announcement of the entry into the Acquisition Agreement on
September 19, 2008. Completion of the Offer is subject to various conditions, including that at
least 66.67% of the issued and outstanding Shares have been tendered into the Offer, U.S. antitrust
approval having been obtained and other customary conditions. Upon the completion of the Offer, it
is contemplated that all of eTelecares issued and outstanding American Depositary Shares traded on
the Nasdaq Global Market (the ADSs) (which ADSs, together with the Common Shares are hereinafter
referred to as the Shares) will be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market and will become
eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act, and eTelecares
Common Shares will be delisted from the Philippines Stock Exchange, Inc. and deregistered pursuant
to the Securities Regulation Code of the Philippines.
Concurrently with the execution of the Acquisition Agreement, each of the Reporting Persons
entered into a Support Agreement (each, a Support Agreement and collectively, the Support
Agreements) with BidCo. Pursuant to the Support Agreements, the Reporting Persons have agreed to
tender all of their respective Shares into the Offer and not to withdraw any of their Shares from
the Offer. The Reporting
Persons have also agreed to vote their Shares (i) in favor of (A) any adoption of the
Acquisition Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated thereby and (B) any other
matter necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement
and the Offer and (ii) against (A) any action or agreement that would result in a breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other obligation of eTelecare in the
Acquisition Agreement, (B) any extraordinary corporate transaction, and (C) any amendment of any
the organizational documents of eTelecare or change in the voting rights of any class of its
capital stock, and has granted an irrevocable proxy with respect to its Shares to BidCo until the
Acquisition Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms or the Offer is terminated or
withdrawn. Copies of the Support Agreements are attached as Exhibits 7.2 through 7.5 to this
statement and are incorporated herein by reference.
Information set forth in response to this Item 4 is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the Support Agreements, which are filed as exhibits hereto and are incorporated herein by
