If and when declared effective by the SEC, the Registration Statement will allow the Company the flexibility from time to time to offer and sell up to $35.0 million of securities, including common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, units and subscription rights, or any combination of the above. The specific terms of such future offerings, if any, along with the intended use of proceeds of any such securities, will be described in detail in a prospectus supplement at the time of any such offering.

Vivek Gupta, Mastech Digital's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "While we have no immediate plans to raise capital under the Registration Statement, we think it is prudent to have the additional financial flexibility to fund future growth opportunities and our operations."

The Registration Statement will also register the resale of up to 1,675,000 shares of common stock owned in the aggregate by the two co-founders of the Company, Sunil Wadhwani and Ashok Trivedi, and certain of their respective affiliates (the "Selling Shareholders"), who may from time to time in one or more offerings, offer and sell shares of the Company's common stock. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds of any sales or other dispositions of shares of common stock by the Selling Shareholders. The Selling Shareholders have advised the Company that they have an interest in selling shares of common stock to diversify their respective holdings but that no commitments for the sale of the shares being registered have been made at this point. 

The Registration Statement relating to these securities has been filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the Registration Statement becomes effective. Any offering of the securities covered by the Registration Statement will be made solely by means of a prospectus and an accompanying prospectus supplement relating to that offering. A copy of the prospectus included in the Registration Statement may be obtained on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any offer for sale, or solicitation of an offer to buy, any of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
