PROXY STATEMENT
LUXOFT HOLDING, INC 2018 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS




GENERAL INFORMATION
The Board of Directors (the "Board") of Luxoft Holding, Inc, a British Virgin Islands company ("we," "us," "Luxoft" or the "Company"), is soliciting proxies to be used at the annual meeting of shareholders (the "2018 Annual Meeting") of the Company to be held at 100 Wall Street, Suite 503, New York, New York 10005 on Friday, September 14, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. (EDT) and any postponement or adjournment thereof.
This proxy statement (the "Proxy Statement") and the accompanying Notice of 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Notice”) and form of proxy are first being distributed to shareholders on or about August 14, 2018. The Board is requesting that you permit your ordinary shares to be represented at the 2018 Annual Meeting by the persons named as proxies for the 2018 Annual Meeting.
The proxy solicitation materials, including the Notice, this Proxy Statement, our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, which includes our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 (the "2018 Annual Report"), and the proxy card (collectively, the "Proxy Materials"), are being furnished to the holders of our Class A ordinary shares and our Class B ordinary shares, in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board for use in voting at the 2018 Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement contains important information for you to consider when deciding how to vote on the matters brought before the 2018 Annual Meeting. Please read it carefully.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT
THE 2018 ANNUAL MEETING, THE PROXY MATERIALS AND VOTING YOUR SHARES
WHY AM I RECEIVING THESE MATERIALS?
Our Board has delivered the Proxy Materials to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies for use at the 2018 Annual Meeting. As a shareholder, you are invited to attend the 2018 Annual Meeting and are requested to vote on the items of business described in this Proxy Statement.
WHAT IS A PROXY?
Our Board is soliciting your vote at the 2018 Annual Meeting. You may vote by proxy as explained in this Proxy Statement. A proxy is your formal legal designation of another person to vote the stock you own. That other person is called a proxy. If you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document also is called a proxy or a proxy card.
Glen Granovsky, Natasha Ziabkina and Paul Simmons each have been designated as the Company’s proxies for the 2018 Annual Meeting.
WHAT PROPOSALS WILL BE VOTED ON AT THE 2018 ANNUAL MEETING?
There are two proposals that will be voted on at the 2018 Annual Meeting:
1.
To elect each of the eight directors named in this Proxy Statement to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his/her respective successor is elected and duly qualified; and

2.
To ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019.
HOW DOES THE BOARD RECOMMEND I VOTE?
Our Board unanimously recommends that you vote:
"FOR" the election of each director named in this Proxy Statement (Proposal No. 1); and


1



"FOR" ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 (Proposal No. 2).
WHAT HAPPENS IF ADDITIONAL MATTERS ARE PRESENTED AT THE 2018 ANNUAL MEETING?
If any other matters are properly presented for consideration at the 2018 Annual Meeting, including, among other things, consideration of a motion to adjourn or postpone the 2018 Annual Meeting to another time or place (including, without limitation, for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies), the persons named as proxy holders will have discretion to vote on those matters in accordance with their best judgment, unless you direct them otherwise in your proxy instructions. We do not currently anticipate that any other matters will be raised at the 2018 Annual Meeting.
WHO CAN VOTE AT THE 2018 ANNUAL MEETING?
Shareholders of record at the close of business on August 10, 2018, the date established by the Board for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at our 2018 Annual Meeting (the "Record Date"), are entitled to vote at the 2018 Annual Meeting.
On the Record Date, 22,423,328 shares of our Class A ordinary shares and 11,117,582 shares of our Class B ordinary shares were outstanding and entitled to vote at the 2018 Annual Meeting. Holders of Class A shares are entitled to one vote for each Class A share owned for each matter to be voted on at the 2018 Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, holders of Class A ordinary shares are eligible to cast an aggregate of 22,423,328 votes at the 2018 Annual Meeting. Holders of Class B ordinary shares are entitled to ten votes for each Class B ordinary share owned for each matter to be voted on at the 2018 Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, holders of Class B ordinary shares are eligible to cast an aggregate of 111,175,820 votes at the 2018 Annual Meeting. Holders of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares (together, “ordinary shares”) will vote together as a single class on all proposals to be voted on at the 2018 Annual Meeting.
A list of the shareholders of record as of August 10, 2018 will be available for inspection at the 2018 Annual Meeting.
WHAT CONSTITUTES A QUORUM?
A majority of the votes of our outstanding ordinary shares as of the Record Date must be present, in person or represented by proxy, at the 2018 Annual Meeting in order to properly convene the 2018 Annual Meeting. This is called a quorum. If there are not enough votes of the ordinary shares present both in person and by timely and properly submitted proxies to constitute a quorum, the 2018 Annual Meeting may be adjourned by the Chairman of the meeting until such time as a sufficient number of votes are present. Both abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING A "SHAREHOLDER OF RECORD" AND A "BENEFICIAL OWNER" HOLDING SHARES IN STREET NAME?
Shareholder of Record: You are a "shareholder of record" if your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company LLC. The Proxy Materials are sent directly to a shareholder of record.
Beneficial Owner: If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the "beneficial owner" of shares held in "street name" and your bank or other nominee is considered the shareholder of record. Your bank or other nominee forwarded the Proxy Materials to you. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank or other nominee how to vote your shares by completing a voting instruction form. Because a beneficial owner is not the shareholder of record, you are invited to attend the 2018 Annual Meeting, but you may not vote these shares in person at the 2018 Annual Meeting unless you obtain a "legal proxy" from the bank or other nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the 2018 Annual Meeting.
HOW DO I VOTE?
Shareholders of record can vote their shares in person, by attending the 2018 Annual Meeting, by telephone or over the Internet in accordance with the instructions on your proxy card, or by mail, by completing, signing and mailing your proxy card. The proxy card must be received by our transfer agent or at our office located at 100 Wall

2



Street, Suite 503, New York, New York 10005 not later than 11:59 p.m. (EDT) on September 13, 2018 to be validly included in the tally of shares voted at the 2018 Annual Meeting.
If you are a beneficial owner whose ordinary shares are held in "street name" (i.e. through a bank, broker or other nominee), you will receive voting instructions from the institution holding your shares. The methods of voting will depend upon the institution's voting processes, including voting via the telephone or the Internet. Please contact the institution holding your ordinary shares for more information.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF I RECEIVE MORE THAN ONE PROXY CARD?
It means that your ordinary shares are registered differently or you have multiple accounts. Please vote all of these shares separately to ensure all of the shares you hold are voted.
WHAT IF I DO NOT SPECIFY HOW MY SHARES ARE TO BE VOTED?
Shareholders of Record: If you are a shareholder of record and you properly submit your proxy but do not give voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote your shares as follows: "FOR" the election of Luxoft's eight director nominees named in this Proxy Statement (Proposal No. 1) and "FOR" the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 (Proposal No. 2). If you do not return a proxy, your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists and your shares will not be voted at the 2018 Annual Meeting.
Beneficial Owners: If you are a beneficial owner whose ordinary shares are held in "street name" (i.e. through a bank, broker or other nominee) and you do not give voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee, your bank, broker or other nominee may exercise discretionary authority to vote on matters that the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") determines to be "routine." Your bank, broker or other nominee is not allowed to vote your shares on "non-routine" matters and this will result in a "broker non-vote" on that non-routine matter, but the shares will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. The only item on the 2018 Annual Meeting agenda that may be considered routine is Proposal No. 2 relating to the Ratification of Appointment of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019; however, we cannot be certain whether this will be treated as a routine matter since our Proxy Statement is prepared in compliance with the laws of British Virgin Islands rather than the rules applicable to domestic U.S. reporting companies. We strongly encourage you to submit your voting instructions and exercise your right to vote as a shareholder.
CAN I CHANGE MY VOTE OR REVOKE MY PROXY?
If you are a shareholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time prior to the vote at the 2018 Annual Meeting. If you submitted your proxy by mail, you must file with the Corporate Secretary of the Company a written notice of revocation or deliver, prior to the vote at the 2018 Annual Meeting, a valid, later-dated proxy. Attendance at the 2018 Annual Meeting will not have the effect of revoking a proxy unless you give written notice of revocation to the Corporate Secretary before the proxy is exercised or you vote by written ballot at the 2018 Annual Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner whose ordinary shares are held through a bank, broker or other nominee, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee, or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your bank, broker or other nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the 2018 Annual Meeting and voting in person.
HOW WILL THE PROXIES BE SOLICITED AND WHO WILL BEAR THE COSTS?
We will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the 2018 Annual Meeting. Proxies may be solicited by our directors, executive officers and employees, without additional compensation, in person, or by mail, courier, telephone, email or facsimile. We may also make arrangements with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for the forwarding of solicitation material to the beneficial owners of shares held of record by such persons. We may reimburse such brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection therewith.
WHO WILL COUNT THE VOTES AND HOW CAN I FIND THE VOTING RESULTS OF THE 2018 ANNUAL MEETING?
Representatives of American Stock Transfer & Trust Company LLC, our inspectors of election, will tabulate and certify the votes. We plan to announce preliminary voting results at the 2018 Annual Meeting, and we will report

3



the final results in a Current Report on Form 6-K, which we will file with the SEC shortly after the 2018 Annual Meeting.
WHAT VOTE IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE EACH ITEM?
The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes of the shares entitled to vote on the proposal that were present and voted at the 2018 Annual Meeting is required to elect directors (Proposal No. 1) and to ratify the Audit Committee's appointment of Ernst & Young LLC as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending March 31, 2019 (Proposal No. 2).
WHAT ARE ABSTENTIONS AND BROKER NON-VOTES AND HOW WILL THEY BE TREATED?
An "abstention" occurs when a shareholder chooses to abstain or refrain from voting their shares on one or more matters presented for a vote. For the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum, abstentions are counted as present.
Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of either proposal.
A "broker non-vote" occurs when a bank, broker or other holder of record holding shares for a beneficial owner attends the 2018 Annual Meeting in person or by proxy but does not vote on a particular proposal because that holder does not have discretionary authority to vote on that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.
Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of either proposal.
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO ATTEND THE 2018 ANNUAL MEETING?
If you plan to attend the 2018 Annual Meeting in person, you will need to bring proof of your ownership of ordinary shares, such as your proxy card or transfer agent statement, as of the close of business on August 10, 2018 and present an acceptable form of photo identification such as a passport or driver's license. Cameras, recording devices and other electronic devices will not be permitted at the meeting.
If you are a beneficial owner holding shares in "street name" through a bank, broker or other nominee and you would like to attend the 2018 Annual Meeting, you will need to bring an account statement or other acceptable evidence of ownership of ordinary shares as of the close of business on August 10, 2018. In order to vote at the meeting, you must contact your bank, broker or other nominee in whose name your shares are registered and obtain a “legal proxy” from your bank, broker or other nominee and bring it to the 2018 Annual Meeting, as described above.
WHAT ARE THE FISCAL YEAR END DATES?
Each of our fiscal years ends on March 31.
WHERE CAN I GET A COPY OF THE PROXY MATERIALS?
Copies of our 2018 Annual Report, including consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2018, the proxy card, the Notice and this Proxy Statement are available on our Company's website at www.luxoft.com. The contents of that website are not a part of this Proxy Statement.
Additional copies of the 2018 Annual Report are available at no charge upon written request. To obtain additional copies of the 2018 Annual Report, please contact us at Luxoft Holding, Inc, 100 Wall Street, Suite 503, New York, New York 10005, Attention: Corporate Secretary. The request must include a representation by the shareholder that as of our record date, August 10, 2018, such shareholder was entitled to vote at the 2018 Annual Meeting.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
General
Our Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association (the “M&AA”) contain provisions governing the ability of shareholders to bring business before any meeting of shareholders of the Company. Effective as of August 14, 2018, as part of the Board's ongoing review of corporate governance practices, our Board of Directors has adopted amendments to the M&AA relating to (i) the procedures that shareholders must comply with in order to nominate directors and properly bring any business before shareholder meetings and (ii) clarifications regarding the ability of the Company’s shareholders to act by written consent. The Board believes that the amendments conform the M&AA to customary governance standards and trends.
Effect of the Amendments
The amendments, among other things, include the following requirements:
Shareholder Action by Written Consent
o
Section 8.22 of the Articles of Association, as amended, clarifies that the ability of the Company’s shareholders to act by written consent shall remain in place for so long as IBS Group Limited and its affiliates hold more than 50% of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company.

Advance Notice Provisions

o
New Section 8.23 of the Articles of Association provides that, for any business, including any nomination, to be properly brought before an annual shareholder meeting by a shareholder, such shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the Company, such notice to be delivered not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the one-year anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting. To be in proper form, the notice must set forth certain enumerated information regarding the proposing shareholder and, in the case of director nominations, the proposed nominee, including information with respect to any agreements, arrangements or understandings by and among any of the proposed nominees, or by and among any proposing shareholder and any other person pertaining to the nomination(s) or business to be brought before the meeting, identifying the parties to such agreements and identifying any persons known by the proposing shareholder to support such nominations or such business to be brought before the meeting, including information regarding such person's beneficial ownership in the Company's shares. The notice must be amended or supplemented should any required information included in the initial notice become incorrect or incomplete.
o
Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of shareholders as shall have been brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Company’s Board of Directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or, provided that the special meeting has been called in accordance with Section 8.3 of the Articles of Association, by any shareholder of the Company who, among other things, submits timely notice to the Secretary of the Company, which complies with the form of notice requirements applicable to annual shareholder meetings. To be considered timely, such notice must be received by the Secretary of the Company not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the scheduled date for such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the scheduled date of such special meeting or the 10th day following the day of

5



the public announcement of the date of such meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at the special meeting is first made.

The amendments to the M&AA became effective upon the approval by the Board as of August 14, 2018.
The discussion above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association marked to show all changes (additions are underlined and deletions are struck through), which is attached hereto as Appendix A - AMENDED & RESTATED MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION.

PROPOSAL 1:
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Our Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that the Board will consist of no fewer than two directors, and it does not specify the maximum number of directors. The exact number of members of the Board will be determined from time to time by resolution of a majority of our entire Board or by resolution of a majority of the votes of the holders of our ordinary shares. The Board currently consists of eight members. Our Board has determined that Thomas Pickering, Marc Kasher and Esther Dyson are independent under applicable SEC and NYSE rules. During the year ended March 31, 2018, each director attended over 90% of all Board meetings and over 90% of the meetings of each committee of the Board on which he or she serves.
Our Board has nominated the individuals identified below for election as directors at the 2018 Annual Meeting, each of whom is a current director of the Company. Each of these directors will hold office until the annual meeting of shareholders in 2019, and until his/her respective successor has been elected and duly qualified. The director nominees set forth below have consented to being named in this Proxy Statement as nominees for election as directors and have agreed to serve as directors if elected.
We are soliciting proxies in favor of the election of the nominees identified below. Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies received by them “FOR” the director nominees named below. If any nominee becomes unable to serve or for good cause will not serve as a director, an event that the Company does not currently anticipate, it is intended that proxies will be voted for any substitute nominee designated by the Board to fill the vacancy or the Board may elect to reduce its size. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board has no reason to believe that the persons named as nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve as directors, if elected.

each person or entity that, to our knowledge, beneficially owns 5% or more of our ordinary shares;

The beneficial ownership of ordinary shares is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes any ordinary shares over which a person exercises sole or shared voting or investment power. For purposes of the table below, we deem shares subject to options, warrants or other exercisable or convertible securities that are exercisable or convertible currently or within 60 days of July 31, 2018, to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the options, warrants or other currently exercisable or convertible securities for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of that person but we do not treat them as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The percentage of shares beneficially owned is based on 33,643,383 ordinary shares outstanding as of July 31, 2018, comprising 22,423,328 Class A shares and 11,117,582 Class B shares. Holders of our Class A and Class B ordinary shares have identical rights, including dividend and liquidation rights, provided that, on any matter that is submitted to a vote of our shareholders, holders of our Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote per Class A ordinary share and holders of our Class B ordinary shares are entitled to ten votes per Class B ordinary share. Furthermore, one Class B ordinary share is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one Class A ordinary share. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to their shares, except to the extent authority is shared by spouses under community property laws. Unless otherwise noted below, each shareholder’s address is c/o Luxoft Holding, Inc, Commerce House, Wickhams Cay 1, P.O. Box 3140, Road Town, Tortola VG1110, British Virgin Islands.

A quorum may comprise a single Shareholder or proxy and then such person may pass a Resolution of Shareholders and a certificate signed by such person accompanied where such person be a proxy by a copy of the proxy instrument shall constitute a valid Resolution of Shareholders.

At every meeting of Shareholders, the Chairman of the Board shall preside as chairman of the meeting. If there is no Chairman of the Board or if the Chairman of the Board is not present at the meeting, the Shareholders present shall choose one of their number to be the chairman.

16.
The chairman may, with the consent of the meeting, adjourn any meeting from time to time, and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.
17.
At any meeting of the Shareholders the chairman is responsible for deciding in such manner as he considers appropriate whether any resolution proposed has been carried or not and the result of his decision shall be announced to the meeting and recorded in the minutes of the meeting.

18.
Subject to the specific provisions contained in this Regulation for the appointment of representatives of Eligible Persons other than individuals the right of any individual to speak for or represent a Shareholder shall be determined by the law of the jurisdiction where, and by the documents by which, the Eligible Person is constituted or derives its existence. In case of doubt, the directors may in good faith seek legal advice from any qualified person and unless and until a court of competent jurisdiction shall otherwise rule, the directors may rely and act upon such advice without incurring any liability to any Shareholder or the Company.

20.
The chairman of any meeting at which a vote is cast by proxy or on behalf of any Eligible Person other than an individual may call for a notarially certified copy of such proxy or authority which shall be produced within 7 days of being so requested or the votes cast by such proxy or on behalf of such Eligible Person shall be disregarded.
21.
Directors of the Company may attend and speak at any meeting of Shareholders and at any separate meeting of the holders of any class or series of Shares.
22.
AnFor so long as IBS Group Limited and its Affiliates hold more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company, an action that may be taken by the Shareholders at a meeting may also be taken by a resolution consented to in writing, without the need for any notice, but if any Resolution of Shareholders is adopted otherwise than by the unanimous written consent of all Shareholders, a copy of such resolution shall forthwith be sent to all Shareholders not consenting to such resolution. The consent may be in the form of counterparts, each counterpart being signed by one or more Shareholders. If the consent is in one or more counterparts, and the counterparts bear different dates, then the resolution shall




take effect on the earliest date upon which Eligible Persons holding a sufficient number of votes of Shares to constitute a Resolution of Shareholders have consented to the resolution by signed counterparts.

(2)Except as otherwise provided for in these Articles of Association or required by law, nothing in this Section 8.23 shall obligate the Company or the Board of Directors to include in any proxy statement or other




Shareholder communication distributed on behalf of the Company or the Board of Directors information with respect to any nominee for director or any other matter of business submitted by a Shareholder.
(3)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.23, if the nominating or proposing Shareholder (or a qualified representative of the Shareholder) does not appear at the Annual Shareholders Meeting or the special meeting to present a nomination or any business, such nomination or business shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Company.  For purposes of this Section 8.23, to be considered a qualified representative of the proposing Shareholder, a person must be authorized by a written instrument executed by such Shareholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such Shareholder to act for such Shareholder as proxy at the meeting of Shareholders and such person must produce such written instrument or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the written instrument or electronic transmission, to the presiding officer at the meeting of Shareholders.

3.
The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement, conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself, create a presumption that the person did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
