Mr. Robb’s effective retirement date is currently expected during the first quarter of 2015, although no specific effective retirement date has been given. Until such time as he begins transferring his day-to-day responsibilities, Mr. Robb will continue in his current role. During the course of 2014, Mr. Robb’s responsibilities will be transitioned to others, and after such transition Mr. Robb will serve in an advisory role with respect to such matters until his actual retirement. It is the intention of Mr. Robb, and the expectation of EPAM Systems, that Mr. Robb will continue to serve on the Board of Directors of EPAM Systems. The Board of Directors of EPAM Systems examined the circumstances of Mr. Robb’s decision to announce retirement from his executive officer position and deemed it in the best interest of EPAM Systems for Mr. Robb to continue serving on the Board of Directors at this time in light of his wealth of experience, relationships with clients and deep knowledge of the company.
