SUPPLEMENT DATED OCTOBER 16, 2015
TO
PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS DATED OCTOBER 2, 2015

To the Stockholders and Public Warrantholders of ROI Acquisition Corp. II:

On or about October 2, 2015, ROI Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (“ROI”), mailed to you a definitive proxy statement/prospectus dated October 2, 2015 (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) relating to the special meeting of stockholders and/or the special meeting of public warrantholders, as applicable, of ROI to be held on October 23, 2015. At the special meeting of stockholders, ROI’s stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal, among others, to approve an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated July 23, 2015 and amended on August 19, 2015 and October 16, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Ascend Telecom Infrastructure Private Limited, a private limited company organized under the laws of India (“Ascend India”), Ascend Telecom Holdings Limited, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Ascend Holdings”), ROI, and NSR-PE Mauritius LLC, a Mauritius private company limited by shares (“NSR”) and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Business Combination”), which provides for the acquisition of ROI and Ascend India by Ascend Holdings, a newly formed entity. Approval of the proposed Business Combination requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of ROI at the special meeting of stockholders.

On October 16, 2015, the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Merger Agreement (the “Amendment”), pursuant to which the parties agreed (i) to reduce the minimum cash amount that ROI is required to have to complete the Business Combination from approximately $103 million to approximately $71 million, before the payment of certain expenses specified in the Merger Agreement, (ii) to reduce the number of shares of Ascend Holdings that NSR will beneficially own at the closing of the Business Combination from 12.7 million to 11.2 million, excluding 2 million earnout shares to be issued to NSR at the closing, (iii) that the sponsors of ROI will forfeit 1,143,750 of their founder shares to ROI for cancellation, and (iv) that Ascend Holdings may not repay the outstanding subordinated debt of approximately $28.9 million owed by Ascend India to IL&FS Financial Services Limited (“IFIN”). A copy of the Amendment is attached to this supplement to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (the “Supplement”) as Annex A. The Amendment reflects a reduction to the pro forma enterprise value of Ascend India from approximately $335 million at $10 per share to $308 million at $10 per share.

There is currently approximately $92.8 million in ROI’s trust account. Assuming all of ROI’s public warrantholders elect to exchange their public warrants in accordance with the Warrant Amendment Proposal, as described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, then if more than 2,159,472 shares (assuming a U.S. Dollar/Indian Rupee exchange rate of 1:63.4928) of ROI common stock are tendered for redemption in connection with the stockholder vote to approve the Business Combination, ROI may not be able to satisfy the closing condition that it have at least approximately $71 million (assuming a U.S. Dollar/Indian Rupee exchange rate of 1:63.4928) in cash at the closing, subject to ROI’s right under the Merger Agreement to privately place up to 1,000,000 shares of its common stock at $10.00 per share in order to satisfy this closing condition. If the closing condition cannot be satisfied, then Ascend Holdings will not be required to consummate the Business Combination, although it may, in its sole discretion, choose to waive this condition. As of the date of this Supplement, ROI has not entered into a definitive agreement with respect to such private placement, and no assurance can be made that ROI will be able to consummate a private placement in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement or at all. In the event that Ascend Holdings waives this condition, ROI’s board of directors will assess the materiality of the amount to which such waiver relates and make a determination as to whether to further supplement the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Such determination will be based on ROI’s board’s conclusion as to whether the changes in the terms of the Business Combination as a result of such waiver render the disclosure that was previously provided to its stockholders and warrantholders materially misleading.

As a result of the revised terms of the Business Combination, taking into account the earnout shares, assuming that all of ROI’s public warrantholders elect to exchange their public warrants in accordance with the Warrant Amendment Proposal, as described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and that the maximum number of shares of ROI common stock (2,159,472 shares (assuming a U.S. Dollar/Indian Rupee exchange rate of 1:63.4928)) are redeemed, then ROI’s former public stockholders will own approximately 30.7%, ROI’s sponsors will own approximately 9.8%, ROI’s former public warrantholders will own approximately 2.7% and NSR and its affiliates will own approximately 56.8% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Ascend Holdings.

This Supplement is being mailed to you to provide information regarding (i) the background of events and discussions leading up to the execution of the Amendment, (ii) the description of the Amendment and its impact on the post-closing beneficial ownership of Ascend Holdings’ ordinary shares, and (iii) the impact that the Amendment will have upon the unaudited pro forma financial statements as presented in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

Defined terms that are used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. To the extent that the information in this Supplement is inconsistent with the information in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the information in this Supplement supersedes the information in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. This Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

The special meetings are scheduled for October 23, 2015 at the offices of McDermott Will & Emery LLP, 340 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10173. The record date for the special meetings has not changed as a result of the Amendment and remains fixed at September 18, 2015. This means that only holders of ROI common stock and public warrants as of September 18, 2015 are entitled to vote at the special meeting of stockholders and special meeting of public warrantholders, as applicable. The deadline for public stockholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to shares of ROI common stock continues to be October 21, 2015 (two business days before the special meeting). See “How do I exercise my redemption rights?” in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The additional proposals for the special meetings contained in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus are unchanged by the Amendment.

Your vote is very important. ROI cannot complete the Business Combination unless it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of its outstanding shares at the special meeting of stockholders.

After careful consideration, ROI’s board of directors has unanimously approved and adopted the Merger Agreement, as amended by the Amendment, and unanimously recommends that its stockholders vote FOR adoption and approval of the Business Combination and FOR all other proposals presented to our stockholders and public warrantholders in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. When you consider the board recommendation of these proposals, you should keep in mind that ROI’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a stockholder or public warrantholder, as applicable. See the section of this Supplement entitled “Certain Benefits of ROI’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination.”

If you have not previously submitted a proxy card, please vote your shares and/or warrants, as applicable, as soon as possible by completing, signing, dating and returning the proxy card that was enclosed with the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, or if your shares are held in “street name” by instructing your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee as to how you wish to vote your shares or public warrants, as applicable. For the convenience of registered holders, we have also enclosed the proxy cards with the Supplement. If you have already delivered a properly executed proxy card regarding the Business Combination Proposal or the Warrant Amendment Proposal, you do not need to do anything unless you wish to change your vote. If you are a registered holder and you wish to revoke or change your prior voting instruction, you may revoke or change it at any time before the applicable special meeting or at such meeting by doing any one of the following:

• you may send another proxy card with a later date;

• you may notify Daniel A. Strauss, ROI’s Secretary, in writing before the applicable special meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

2

• you may attend the applicable special meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote in person, as indicated above.

If your shares are held in “street name” by your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, and if you have already provided instructions to your nominee but wish to change those instructions, you should provide new instructions following the procedures provided by your nominee.

Please read the Supplement carefully and in its entirety together with the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which was previously mailed to you, before voting, including the disclosure contained in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 33 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

If you have questions about the proposals to be voted upon at the special meetings or if you need additional copies of the Supplement, Proxy Statement/Prospectus or either proxy card, you should contact: Joseph A. De Perio, Vice Chairman and President, by telephone at (212) 825-0400 or by email at joseph.deperio@clinton.com. You may also contact our proxy solicitor at: Okapi Partners LLC, 437 Madison Avenue, 28^th Floor, New York, New York 10022, by telephone at (877) 629-6355 (toll free) or (212) 297-0720, or by email at info@okapipartners.com.

Sincerely,

Thomas J. Baldwin
Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer

This Supplement is dated October 16, 2015, and is first being mailed to stockholders of ROI on or about October 16, 2015.

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATORY AGENCY HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THE TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED IN THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS (AS MODIFIED BY THE ACCOMPANYING SUPPLEMENT), PASSED UPON THE MERITS OR FAIRNESS OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION OR RELATED TRANSACTIONS OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THE DISCLOSURE IN THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS (AS MODIFIED BY THE ACCOMPANYING SUPPLEMENT). ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY CONSTITUTES A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

Description of the Amendment

On October 16, 2015, ROI, Ascend India, Ascend Holdings and NSR entered into the Amendment. The following summary of the terms of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to the text of the Amendment, which is attached to this Supplement as Annex A.

The Amendment modifies the conditions to the obligations of Ascend Holdings to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement as follows:

• the minimum cash required to be held by ROI is reduced from INR 5,585,461,616 to INR 3,606,391,040, subject to further adjustment based on differences in the exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and the Indian Rupee from the date that the Merger Agreement was executed to the last business day prior to the date of the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement;

• the maximum allowed amount of redemptions by shareholders of ROI as a condition to the obligation of Ascend Holdings to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is removed; and

• an additional condition is inserted providing that the holders of ROI’s founder shares will forfeit 1,143,750 founder shares upon the closing of the Business Combination.

The Amendment reduces the number of ordinary shares of Ascend Holdings required to be held by NSR as of the closing date of the Merger Agreement, from 12,545,000 shares to 11,010,127, excluding any earnout shares and prior to giving effect to an additional number of Ascend Holdings ordinary shares issued to NSR in connection with certain additional contributions by NSR or an affiliate of NSR. As a result of the reduction in Ascend Holdings ordinary shares to be held by NSR (as described above), the Amendment also reduces the number of Ascend Holdings ordinary shares that are to be reserved for purchase price adjustment and indemnity purposes.

The Amendment removes the requirement that Ascend Holdings use a portion of the net cash in ROI’s trust account and any proceeds received in connection with any U.S. Dollar/Indian Rupee currency put option transaction entered into by Ascend India, Ascend Holdings, Ascend Mauritius or Merger Sub for the purpose of paying a portion of the outstanding subordinated debt owed by Ascend India to IFIN.

The Amendment also amends the forfeiture timeframe for the 2,000,000 earnout shares to be issued to NSR upon the closing, such that 1,000,000 of such earnout shares are subject to forfeiture within nine months after the date of the closing in the event that certain performance hurdles are not satisfied, and the other 1,000,000 of such earnout shares are subject to forfeiture within 18 months after the date of the closing in the event that additional performance hurdles are not satisfied. Prior to the execution of the Amendment, the Merger Agreement provided for forfeiture of all 2,000,000 of such earnout shares within nine months after the closing in the event the specified performance hurdles were not met.

Assuming all of ROI’s public warrantholders elect to exchange their public warrants in accordance with the Warrant Amendment Proposal, as described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, then if more than 2,159,472 shares (assuming a U.S. Dollar/Indian Rupee exchange rate of 1:63.4928) of ROI common stock are tendered for redemption in connection with the stockholder vote to approve the Business Combination, ROI may not be able to satisfy the closing condition that it have at least approximately $71 million (assuming a U.S. Dollar/Indian Rupee exchange rate of 1:63.4928) in cash at the closing, subject to ROI’s right under the Merger Agreement to privately place up to 1,000,000 shares of its common stock at $10.00 per share in order to satisfy this closing condition. If the closing condition cannot be satisfied, then Ascend Holdings will not be required to consummate the Business Combination, although it may, in its sole discretion, choose to waive this condition. As of the date of this Supplement, ROI has not entered into a definitive agreement with respect to such private placement, and no assurance can be made that ROI will be able to consummate a private placement in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement or at all. In the event that Ascend Holdings waives this condition, ROI’s board of directors will assess the materiality of the amount to which such waiver relates and make a determination as to whether to further supplement the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Such determination will be based on ROI’s board’s conclusion as to whether the

4

changes in the terms of the Business Combination as a result of such waiver render the disclosure that was previously provided to its stockholders and warrantholders materially misleading.

As a result of the revised terms of the Business Combination, taking into account the earnout shares, assuming that all of ROI’s public warrantholders elect to exchange their public warrants in accordance with the Warrant Amendment Proposal, as described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and that the maximum number of shares of ROI common stock (2,159,472 shares (assuming a U.S. Dollar/Indian Rupee exchange rate of 1:63.4928)) are redeemed, then ROI’s former public stockholders will own approximately 30.7%, ROI’s sponsors will own approximately 9.8%, ROI’s former public warrantholders will own approximately 2.7% and NSR and its affiliates will own approximately 56.8% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Ascend Holdings.

Description of the Founder Share Forfeiture Agreement

Pursuant to the Amendment, ROI agreed to enter into a Founder Share Forfeiture Agreement with holders of ROI’s founder shares (collectively, the “ROI sponsors”) at the closing of the Business Combination (the “Founder Share Forfeiture Agreement”). The following summary of the terms of the Founder Share Forfeiture Agreement is qualified by reference to the text of the form of Founder Share Forfeiture Agreement, which is attached to this Supplement as Annex B. The Founder Share Forfeiture Agreement provides that, upon the closing of the Business Combination, the ROI sponsors will forfeit to ROI for cancellation an aggregate of 1,143,750 founder shares for no consideration, after which time such founder shares will no longer be issued or outstanding. None of the founder shares forfeited will be earnout shares held by ROI’s sponsors. As a result, excluding the earnout shares, the founder share forfeitures contemplated by the Founder Share Forfeiture Agreement will result in an approximately 49% decrease in the number of founder shares outstanding from 2,343,750 to 1,200,000 founder shares.

IL&FS Zero Coupon Optionally Convertible Debentures

As a result of the revised transaction structure, some or all of the outstanding subordinate debt of Ascend India, comprising zero coupon optionally convertible debentures, or ZCOCDs, will remain outstanding. IFIN, an affiliate of Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services Limited, holds ZCOCDs of Ascend India, aggregating to INR 1,186.64 million. These ZCOCDs accrue interest at the rate of 15% per annum for the first three years from the date of their allotment, April 1, 2012, and thereafter at the rate of 12% per annum until maturity. The ZCOCDs are unsecured facilities of Ascend India, redeemable at the end of 12 years from their allotment with Ascend India having an option to redeem them prior to their maturity. Further, IFIN is entitled to convert the ZCOCDs into equity shares of Ascend India, together with the redemption premium amount accrued on them, at a fixed valuation of INR 352.63 for each equity share of Ascend India. The equity share resulting from such conversion of the ZCOCDs will rank pari passu with the existing equity shares of Ascend India. Such conversion would further heighten the risks described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus under “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Ascend India’s Indebtedness and Debt Restructuring Package — All but one of Ascend India’s lenders have entered into a master restructuring agreement to implement a corporate debt restructuring package, under which they retain rights, which, if exercised, may adversely affect Ascend India’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and may have a materially adverse affect on the shareholders of Ascend Holdings.”

In addition, the outstanding ZCOCDs will further heighten the risks described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus under “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Ascend India and the Industry in which Ascend India operates — Ascend India requires substantial amounts of capital for its business and operations and the failure to obtain additional equity or debt financing on favorable commercial terms may hinder its growth” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Ascend India and the Industry in which Ascend India operates —  Ascend India may not generate sufficient revenue or cash flows to satisfy its debt service obligations.”

Update to Use of Proceeds

In accordance with some or all of the ZCOCDs remaining outstanding, the amount remaining in ROI’s trust account following the other payments described in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds” beginning on page 106 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is estimated to be between approximately INR 839,208,000 (or

5

$13,468,272, using an exchange rate of 62.31, as of March 31, 2015) and INR 2,574,212,503 (or $41,312,992, using an exchange rate of 62.31, as of March 31, 2015), and will be used by Ascend Holdings for general corporate purposes.

Update to Background of the Business Combination

As described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the terms of the Merger Agreement are the result of arm’s-length negotiations between representatives of ROI, Ascend India, Ascend Holdings and NSR over an extended period of time. The background of the Business Combination through September 30, 2015 is described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The discussion below supplements that description.

On October 1, 2015, the registration statement of which the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and this Supplement form a part was declared effective. ROI mailed the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to its stockholders and public warrantholders on or about October 2, 2015.

During the period of September 8, 2015 to October 10, 2015, ROI and Ascend Holdings with the participation of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Oppenheimer & Co., contacted and held meetings with certain existing and potential investors of ROI and Ascend Holdings with respect to the Business Combination, at which the parties received feedback on the terms of the Business Combination. Commencing on or about October 1, 2015, ROI and Ascend Holdings discussed the possibility of restructuring the Business Combination in light of feedback from meetings with certain existing and potential investors and due to recent economic turmoil in certain emerging markets. The parties discussed a potential reduction in the total pro forma total enterprise value of Ascend Holdings based on the number of Ascend Holdings ordinary shares outstanding as of closing of the Business Combination through either a reduction in the common stock to be held by NSR upon closing of the Business Combination or forfeitures and/or transfers of ROI founder shares or some combination of the foregoing. The parties also discussed removing the closing condition relating to the maximum redemption amount for ROI public shares in order to provide more flexibility for structuring the Business Combination. During this period, ROI’s management kept its board of directors apprised of these negotiations and discussions.

Pursuant to these negotiations and based on feedback from existing and potential investors, on October 11, 2015, ROI and Ascend Holdings agreed that ROI’s sponsors would forfeit approximately 1.1 million founder shares at the closing of the Business Combination and that the number of Ascend Holdings ordinary shares that NSR would own upon the closing of the Business Combination would be reduced from approximately 12.7 million to approximately 11.2 million. The parties also agreed to remove the maximum redemption closing condition and the requirement that a portion of the proceeds of the Business Combination be used to repay certain subordinated debt of Ascend India that is owed to IFIN.

On October 12, 2015, ROI and Ascend Holdings issued a press release announcing their agreement to amend the terms of the Merger Agreement. The press release noted that the amendment to the Merger Agreement was subject to the execution of final documentation and the approval of ROI’s board of directors. Between October 12, 2015 and October 14, 2015, ROI and Ascend Holdings and their respective legal counsels worked to finalize the Amendment and the Founder Share Forfeiture Agreement. On October 16, 2015, ROI’s board of directors unanimously approved by written consent the Amendment, and the Amendment was executed by the parties later that day. On October 16, 2015, ROI mailed the Supplement to its stockholders and public warrantholders and filed a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the entry into the Amendment.

ROI’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Amendment

In determining to authorize and approve the Amendment and recommend that ROI’s stockholders approve the Business Combination, ROI’s board of directors considered the prior due diligence that ROI had conducted on Ascend India’s operations and financial condition. ROI’s board also considered that the future management of Ascend Holdings has advised ROI that based on its review to date, which is not yet final, Ascend Holdings expects its revenues, EBITDA and earnings to meet or exceed its management plan for fiscal 2015 and 2016.

Recommendation to ROI Stockholders

ROI’s board of directors believes that each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal to be presented at the special meeting of stockholders is in the best interests of ROI and its stockholders and unanimously recommends that its stockholders vote “FOR” each of the proposals. ROI’s board of directors also believes that each of the Warrant Amendment Proposal and Warrantholder Adjournment Proposal is in the best interests of ROI’s public warrantholders and unanimously recommends that its stockholders vote “FOR” each of these proposals.

When you consider the recommendation of ROI’s board of directors in favor of approval of the proposals to be presented to stockholders and public warrantholders, you should keep in mind that its directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

• the right of the Sponsor, Thomas J. Baldwin and Joseph A. De Perio to receive Ascend Holdings ordinary shares in connection with and following the Business Combination, subject to the lock-up agreements;

• the appointment of two of ROI’s executive officers as directors (but not officers) of Ascend Holdings; and

• the continued indemnification of current directors and officers of ROI and the continuation of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination.

In addition, ROI’s board of directors is expected to adopt a resolution providing that the disposition of ROI shares by ROI’s officers and directors in exchange for Ascend Holdings ordinary shares in the Business Combination is intended to be exempt from liability pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

Beneficial Ownership of Securities

In connection with the Amendment, the following table updates the information set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus with respect to the expected beneficial ownership of Ascend Holdings ordinary shares upon the closing of the Business Combination, held by:

• each of Ascend Holdings’ directors and executive officers who own beneficially more than 1.0% of Ascend Holdings’ outstanding share capital; and

• each person known to Ascend Holdings to own beneficially more than 5.0% of Ascend Holdings’ outstanding share capital.

Each of Ascend Holdings’ shareholders is entitled to one vote on all matters that require a vote of shareholders, and none of its shareholders has any contractual or other special voting rights. Ascend Holdings is not aware of any arrangement that may, at a subsequent date, result in a change of control of Ascend Holdings. Ascend Holdings is a newly formed company, and as of October 16, 2015, had one ordinary share issued and outstanding.

The numbers and percentages in the post-transaction columns are based on 22,613,902 ordinary shares outstanding upon the closing of the Business Combination and taking into account the earnout shares assuming that there are at least 9,413,902 shares of ROI’s common stock that are exchanged for ordinary shares of Ascend Holdings in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, and none of ROI’s public warrantholders exchange their public warrants for cash and ordinary shares of Ascend Holdings. The post-transaction column assumes no exercise of any warrants that remain outstanding following the closing of the Business Combination and reflect all earnout shares as outstanding as of such closing. The table below does not reflect ordinary shares that may be issued pursuant to Ascend Holdings’ equity incentive plan or the Consultancy Services Agreement.

Parag Saxena, Dr. Abdul Hafeez Shaikh and Jens Zimmermann sit on the Investment Committee of New Silk Route Advisors, LP and therefore maintain voting and dispositive power of these ordinary shares, each of which disclaims beneficial ownership of such ordinary shares. The business address for New Silk Route Advisors, LP, New Silk Route PE Asia Fund, LP and New Silk Route PE Asia Fund-A, LP is 540 Madison Ave., New York, New York 10022.

Taking into account the earnout shares, ROI estimates that, upon completion of the Business Combination, ROI’s former public stockholders will retain an ownership interest of 30.7% of the issued share capital of Ascend Holdings, assuming all of ROI’s public warrantholders elect to exchange their public warrants in accordance with the Warrant Amendment Proposal, as described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and 2,159,472 shares (assuming a U.S. Dollar/Indian Rupee exchange rate of 1:63.4928) of ROI common stock are tendered for redemption in connection with the stockholder vote to approve the Business Combination.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2015 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2015 are based on the historical financial statements of Predecessor Ascend and ROI after giving effect to the Business Combination.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2015 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on April 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2015 assumes that the Business Combination was completed on March 31, 2015.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from:

• the audited combined financial statements of Predecessor Ascend as at and for the year ended March 31, 2015, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the IASB and in its reporting currency of Indian rupees (“INR”), which are included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

• the audited financial statements of ROI as of and for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2014, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”) and in its reporting currency of U.S. Dollars (“USD”), and included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, removing the unaudited financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and adding the unaudited financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2015, to conform to the year-end of Predecessor Ascend. These statements have been converted to IFRS, and translated into INR for purposes of presentation in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information using the following historic exchange rates:

• at the period end exchange rate as of March 31, 2015 of 1 USD to 62.31 INR for the balance sheet and;

• the average exchange rate for the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2015 of 1 USD to 61.24 INR for the statement of operations.

• US GAAP to IFRS differences are limited to reclassification adjustments and are discussed in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined information.

The pro forma adjustments are based on the information currently available. The assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments are described below in the section entitled “Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations or financial position would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the combined company.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the sections entitled “Predecessor Ascend Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” beginning on page 163 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the historical financial statements and notes thereto of ROI and Predecessor Ascend included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

Ascend Holdings is considered to be the acquirer for accounting purposes because it will obtain control of ROI. Ascend Holdings does not have a change in control since the Ascend Holdings operations will comprise the ongoing operations of the combined entity, its senior management will serve as the senior management of the combined entity, and its former equity owners will own a majority voting interest in the combined entity and be able to elect a majority of the combined entity’s board of directors. Accordingly, the Business Combination does not constitute the acquisition of a business for purposes of IFRS 3. As a result, the assets and liabilities of Ascend Holdings and ROI will be carried at historical cost and there will be no step-up in basis or any intangible assets or goodwill as a result of the Business Combination. All direct costs of the Business Combination will be a charge to additional paid-in capital.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination and has been prepared for informational purposes only. The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Business Combination, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the combined company.

There is currently approximately $92.8 million in ROI’s trust account. Assuming all of ROI’s public warrantholders elect to exchange their public warrants in accordance with the Warrant Amendment Proposal, as described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, then if more than 2,159,472 shares (assuming a U.S. Dollar/Indian Rupee exchange rate of 1:63.4928) of ROI common stock are tendered for redemption in connection with the stockholder vote to approve the Business Combination, ROI may not be able to satisfy the closing condition that it have at least approximately $71 million (assuming a U.S. Dollar/Indian Rupee exchange rate of 1:63.4928) in cash at the closing, subject to ROI’s right under the Merger Agreement to privately place up to 1,000,000 shares of its common stock at $10.00 per share in order to satisfy this closing condition. If the closing condition cannot be satisfied, then Ascend Holdings will not be required to consummate the Business Combination, although it may, in its sole discretion, choose to waive this condition. As of the date of this Supplement, ROI has not entered into a definitive agreement with respect to such private placement, and no assurance can be made that ROI will be able to consummate a private placement in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement or at all. In the event that Ascend Holdings waives this condition, ROI’s board of directors will assess the materiality of the amount to which such waiver relates and make a determination as to whether to further supplement the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Such determination will be based on ROI’s board’s conclusion as to whether the changes in the terms of the Business Combination as a result of such waiver render the disclosure that was previously provided to its stockholders and warrantholders materially misleading.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared assuming maximum redemptions and maximum warrant restructuring.

We have not presented the pro forma balance sheet and statement of operations to reflect 0% participation in the warrant amendment. However, if 0% participation in the warrant amendment were to occur, the impact would be as follows, in each case assuming maximum redemptions:

• Ownership interest would be 56.6% for NSR;

• Total pro forma equity would be INR 3.3 billion as compared to INR 3.5 billion;

• Total pro forma assets would be INR 13.1 billion; and

• Total pro forma liabilities would be INR 9.7 billion.

Additionally, the pro forma balance sheet does not reflect the issuance of earnout shares of 781,250 and 307,652 to the ROI sponsor. However, in the event that the earnout shares are not forfeited, the impact to the financial statements would be a net zero impact to total equity and a decrease in basic EPS to (10.33).

10

In addition, after the closing of the Business Combination, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for ordinary shares equivalent to 2.5% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Ascend Holdings will be granted to the directors and executive officers of Ascend Holdings as determined by the compensation committee pursuant to the equity incentive plan of Ascend Holdings, as described in the section entitled “Ascend Group’s Executive Officers and Management — Equity Plan” beginning on page 186 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Further, immediately after the closing of the Business Combination, RSUs for ordinary shares equivalent to 13.5% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares at the time of the closing of the Business Combination will be granted to an affiliate of NSR as compensation for services to be provided under the Consultancy Services Agreement, as described in the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions — Ascend Holdings — Consultancy Services Agreement” beginning on page 229 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. As the aforementioned RSUs, described in more detail on page 29 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, will be granted subsequent to the close of the Business Combination, the Consultancy Services Agreement and Equity Plan will not be in effect until after close of the Business Combination, and the strike price of the RSUs is not yet finalized, the impact of the issuance of the RSUs cannot be reasonably estimated and factually supportable at this time and therefore is not reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

The following table summarizes the consideration, sources and uses for the Business Combination and ownership interests following the Business Combination of NSR and the former shareholders of ROI, assuming 100% and no warrant exchanges, respectively, and in each case taking into account the earnout shares.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2015 are as follows:

A) To record the reclassification of INR 5,790,519,332 of cash and investments held in the ROI trust account that become available for transaction consideration, transaction expenses, redemption of public shares and the operating activities of Ascend Holdings following the Business Combination.

B) To reflect the payment of the merger consideration, consisting of INR 2,700,000,000 of cash to the IL&FS Parties.

C) To reflect the reclassification of 8,333,522 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption to permanent equity after the redemption of 3,215,528 shares as described further in adjustment K below, split between common stock (par value) and Additional paid in capital.

D) To reflect the reclassification of INR 82,895,043 of Accumulated deficit to common stock (77,349) and Additional paid in capital (82,817,694). The remaining portion of historical ROI common stock has been eliminated through adjustment C above.

E) To reflect the reclassification of INR 75,653,301 of non-controlling interests to permanent equity and to reflect the purchase of the remaining approximately 31% interest in Ascend India, with the use of cash received from ROI as part of the agreement.

F) To reflect the payment of deferred underwriting fees relating to the ROI initial public offering.

G) To reflect the payment of transaction costs of INR 238,335,750 related to the Business Combination.

H) To reflect the cancelation of 8,000,000 sponsor warrants. The 8,000,000 warrants were previously purchased in a separate unrelated private placement at a price that was determined at the respective purchase date to ensure the price was equal to or above the fair market value of the warrant, thus resulting in no income statement charge at the time of acquisition (cash and Additional paid in capital). Accordingly, the entry recorded in the above pro forma balance sheet to cancel the warrants was a credit to Additional paid in capital and a resulting debit to Additional paid in capital, as it is a related party transaction.

I) To reflect the exchange of 12,500,000 ROI warrants at $0.50, or INR 31.16, per warrant, for $6,250,000 million or INR 389,437,500 in cash.

J1) To eliminate the INR 4,238,698,476 share capital of Predecessor Ascend, the INR 394,420,057 of historical Additional paid in capital of ROI and the remaining accumulated deficit reclassified to Additional paid in capital of INR 82,817,694 of ROI, as noted in adjustment D above.

J2) To record the issuable shares to NSR and ROI of 11,200,000 and 11,109,447 (excluding earnout shares: 12,198,389 total potential shares minus earnout shares of 781,250 and 307,652), respectively, at $10 per share, with a $1.00 par value converted to INR at the period end exchange rate noted above and to record the resulting difference between the fair value of the issuable shares and the fair value of the identifiable net assets of ROI.

J3) The difference of INR 1,418,103,507, between the fair value of the issuable shares to ROI of INR 6,922,271,502 (692,227,150 + 6,230,044,352) and the fair value of identifiable net assets, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, investments and cash held in trust accounts, deferred underwriter fee and current liabilities of ROI of INR 5,504,167,994 (total assets of INR 5,806,517,798 minus deferred underwriter fees of INR 272,606,250 and minus total current liabilities of INR 29,743,554 = 5,504,167,994), represents listing expense in accordance with IFRS 2 paragraph 13A and has been recorded to retained earnings, as the amount does not have a continuing impact on the statement of operations and therefore is not recorded to the pro forma statement of operation in accordance with Article 11-02(b)(5) of Regulation S-X.

15

J4) To record the difference of INR 2,740,021,524 between the carrying value of the historical Predecessor Ascend shares of INR 4,238,698,476 and the fair value of the issuable shares to NSR of INR 6,280,848,000. This amount has been recorded to additional paid in capital, as total additional paid in capital related to the historical Ascend share capital cannot be greater than the historical balance.

J5) To eliminate the historical equity balance of ROI, as it has been replaced with the fair value of the shares issued to ROI per adjustment J2 above.

K) To record the redemption of 3,215,528 shares of ROI and the reduction of INR 2,003,595,497 of cash and investments held in the ROI trust account that occurred on September 18, 2015 pursuant to the redemption request by certain shareholders made at ROI’s special meeting on September 18, 2015. The purpose of the special meeting was to solicit stockholder approval to extend the date by which it must complete a business combination to October 26, 2015.

Assuming Maximum Exercise of Redemption Rights

M) To reflect the cash payment to ROI public stockholders exercising redemption rights and reduction of related ROI common stock outstanding.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations

N) To remove INR 7.35 million of expenses pursuant to the ROI administrative service agreement that terminates upon a business combination.

O) To adjust for income tax expense at Predecessor Ascend’s statutory rate of 34.61%.

P) Pro forma earnings per share (EPS), basic and diluted, are computed by dividing income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
