SCHEDULE 13D

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) relates to shares of common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”) of Syntel, Inc., a Michigan corporation (the “Issuer”), and amends the initial statement on Schedule 13D filed on July 30, 2018 (the “Original 13D” and, together with this Amendment, the “13D”). Unless otherwise specified, capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original 13D.

On October 9, 2018, Atos S.E., a société européenne (European company) organized under the laws of France (“Atos”) and Green Merger Sub, Inc., a Michigan corporation and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Atos (“Merger Sub”), completed the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 20, 2018, by and among the Issuer, Atos and Merger Sub (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”) with the Issuer surviving the Merger as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Atos (the “Surviving Corporation”) and Merger Sub ceasing to exist following the Merger.

Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:

Closing of the Merger

At the effective time of the Merger, each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.  Further, at the effective time of the Merger, the 100 shares of common stock, no par value per share, of Merger Sub that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger were converted into and became 100 shares of common stock, no par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

In connection with the closing of the Merger, each share of Common Stock that previously traded under the stock symbol “SYNT”, ceased trading on, and are being delisted from, the NASDAQ Global Select Market.

In connection with the Merger, each member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Issuer Board”) resigned from the Issuer Board, including any committee thereof. At the effective time of the Merger, the board of directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger became the board of directors of the Issuer.

Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

The responses of the Reporting Person to rows (7) through (13) of the cover page to this Schedule 13D are incorporated by reference in this Item 5 as if fully set forth herein.

(a) and (b) As a result of the Merger and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) Atos acquired and, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, beneficially owns 100% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer; and (ii) Atos has sole power to vote and dispose of 100% of such shares.

(c) Except for the Merger Agreement, to the knowledge of Atos, no transactions in the class of securities reported have been effected during the past 60 days by any person named in Annex A or Item 5(a).

(d) To the knowledge of Atos, no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities of the Issuer reported herein.

(e) Inapplicable.
