India's Tech Mahindra Ltd. won the bid to acquire a controlling stake in the beleaguered software giant Satyam Computer Services Ltd. (SAY) on Monday for over $500 million.

Tech Mahindra offered a bid of 58 Indian rupees per share for a 31% stake in Satyam, beating two other rivals: engineering major Larsen & Toubro Ltd and private equity firm WL Ross & Co.

Tech Mahindra, in which Britain's BT Group (BT) has 31% stake, will make a public offer to acquire an additional 20% in Satyam at the same price.

Last January, software giant Satyam shocked investors by revealing that its assets were overstated by more than $1 billion. Although founder B. Ramalinga Raju, co-founder B. Rama Raju, CFO Srinivas Vadlamani and three other employees have been arrested for cheating and forgery, investor confidence on Satyam has dwindled.

The acquisition is expected to restore confidence in India's

DST Systems, Inc. (DST) is one of the leading global providers of sophisticated information processing, software services, and products to the financial services industry, primarily mutual funds and investment managers, communication industry, the healthcare industry, and other service industries.

Although conversions of shareowner accounts to lower revenue subaccounts continue to hamper results for DST Systems, Inc., the company has been able to offset much of the impact with new account conversions. While the trend towards subaccounts is likely to persist, the company has a number of new shareowner accounts in the pipeline. We therefore maintain estimates for the second half of the year.

However, the slowing organic growth rate of mutual funds to what the company expects is a mid single-digit rate is likely to limit long-term growth. We are also concerned about stagnant cash flows, rising debt levels, and the maturity of the industry in which the company competes. We
