 Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
On July 7, 2014, EPAM Systems, a Belarus subsidiary of EPAM Systems, Inc. (together, the “Company”), provided IDEAB Project Eesti AS (“IDEAB”) with notice of termination of the Construction Contract No. IPB 1.5/103 between the Company and IDEAB dated December 2011.The effective date of termination was on or about July 11, 2014.  The Construction Contract committed IDEAB to construct an office building for the Company in Minsk, Belarus, with a committed completion date of February 28, 2014.  The building has been partially completed, but in April 2014, IDEAB stopped its construction for reasons unrelated to the Company’s performance under the Construction Contract.  In May 2014, IDEAB notified the Company that it was unable to continue as general contractor to complete the construction of the building in time and on the terms agreed.  As a result, the Company took control over the construction site and is seeking alternatives to complete the project.  The Company is evaluating its options to pursue recovery from IDEAB through legal proceedings.
