Infosys, which made an application for admission of its ADS to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority, expects UKLA's approval following a listing hearing on the tentative date of February 18, 2013.

Infosys' ADS are scheduled to begin trading on the Euronext exchanges and to be admitted to the Official List of the UKLA on February 20, 2013.

The ADS will trade under the symbol 'INFY' and be denominated in euros on the Euronext exchanges.

"This listing will not alter Infosys' share count, capital structure, or current stock listing on the New York Stock Exchange, where it also trades under the symbol 'INFY', it said.

The Euronext listings are intended to attract investors based outside of India and the US, particularly in Europe, to provide greater access to Infosys' ADS among European fund managers.
