Effective as of January 8, 2013, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”), Richard Michael Mayoras was appointed to join the Board of EPAM Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) as an independent director. Mr. Mayoras replaces Ross Goodhart, a director of the Company, who on January 4, 2013 communicated his decision to resign from the Board effective as of January 8, 2013. Mr. Goodhart’s decision to resign as a director did not involve any disagreement with the Company, the Company’s management or the Board. Mr. Mayoras has also been appointed as a member of the Audit Committee of the Board to replace Donald Spencer in order to comply with the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual independence requirements. Mr. Spencer remains a director and member of the Board.

Mr. Mayoras’ compensation for service as a director will be consistent with that of the Company’s other non-employee directors, as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. There are no transactions to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party and in which Mr. Mayoras has a direct or indirect material interest subject to disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
