This
Transaction Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 5, 2024 (as amended or otherwise modified in accordance
with its terms, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Tasmania Midco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(“Parent”) and Tasmania Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving such merger as a wholly
owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of Turing EquityCo II L.P. (the “Significant
Company Stockholder”), the holder of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and an affiliate of
certain investment funds advised by Apax Partners LLP (the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, collectively,
the “Transactions”).
Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”),
each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and converted into
the right to receive $4.40 in cash, without interest thereon (the “Per Share Price”), less any applicable tax withholdings.
However, the Per Share Price will not be paid, nor will any distribution be made, in respect of (1) any shares of the Company Common
Stock that are held by us as treasury shares or owned directly or indirectly by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective
Time, which at the Effective Time will automatically be cancelled and extinguished and (2) any shares of Company Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented to the Merger
in writing and who has properly and validly exercised (and not withdrawn) their statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such shares
in accordance with Section 262 (such shares, the “Dissenting Company Shares”). Treatment of outstanding equity awards under
the Company’s equity incentive plans and award agreements is described in greater detail in the Information Statement (defined
below) under the sections entitled “Summary—Treatment of Equity Awards in the Merger” and “The Special
Factors – Interests of our Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger”.
Parent
has also entered into separate rollover agreements (each, a “Rollover Agreement”) with (1) Tasmania Parent, Inc. (“Topco”),
which will become the indirect parent of the Company following the Merger, and certain of its affiliates, on the one hand, and (2) each
of the Significant Company Stockholder and certain members of Company management (each holder, a “Rollover Stockholder”),
on the other hand. Pursuant to the Rollover Agreements, on the closing date of the Merger prior to the Effective Time, all shares of
Company Common Stock held by the Significant Company Stockholder and certain shares of Company Common Stock held by the other Rollover
Stockholders (each, a “Rollover Share”) will be contributed to Topco in exchange for a number of newly issued shares of Topco
(a “Topco Share”) having an aggregate value equal to the Per Share Price multiplied by the aggregate number of Rollover Shares.
Each Rollover Stockholder who is a member of Company management also agreed to invest a portion of the after-tax proceeds that would
otherwise be received by such Rollover Stockholder in the Merger in respect of certain Company equity awards in exchange for newly issued
Topco Shares, and the assumption and conversion of certain Company equity awards into equity awards having comparable value that are
convertible into Topco Shares, all in accordance with the terms of their Rollover Agreement.
As
a result of the Merger Agreement and the Rollover Agreements, following the Merger the Company will be indirectly owned by the Rollover
Stockholders. Other stockholders of the Company prior to the Effective Time will have no continuing interest in the Company, other than
the right to receive the Per Share Price and rights of appraisal solely with respect to the Dissenting Company Shares. The Company Common
Stock will cease to be listed on Nasdaq and registration of the Company Common Stock under the Exchange Act will be terminated and/or
suspended.
As
more fully described in the Information Statement, having undertaken a thorough review of, and carefully considered, information concerning
the Merger, and a fairness opinion from Lazard, and after consulting with experienced, qualified and independent financial and legal
advisors, a Special Committee of the Company’s board of directors comprised of Robert Brennan, Jane Chwick, William Parrett, and
Roxanne Taylor (the “Special Committee”) unanimously: (1) determined that the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (together with the Merger, the “Transactions”), upon the terms and conditions
set forth in the Merger Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the
Company and the Unaffiliated Stockholders (as defined in the accompanying Information Statement and the Merger Agreement), (2) recommended
to our board of directors (the “Company Board”) that the Company Board (a) approve and declare advisable the Merger Agreement
and the Transactions, including the Merger, and (b) determine that the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Merger, are
advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the Company and the Unaffiliated Stockholders, and (3) recommended that, subject to Company
Board approval, the Company Board submit the Merger Agreement to the Company’s stockholders for their adoption by written consent
in lieu of a meeting and recommend that the Company’s stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement in accordance with the DGCL.
Acting
upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, the Company Board unanimously: (1) determined that the Merger Agreement and the Transactions,
including the Merger, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the Company and the Company’s stockholders, including
the Unaffiliated Stockholders, (2) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Merger, (3)
approved and declared advisable the execution and delivery by the Company of the Merger Agreement, the performance by the Company of
the covenants and agreements contained therein and the consummation of the Transactions, including the Merger, upon the terms and subject
to the conditions contained therein, (4) directed that the adoption of the Merger Agreement be submitted to the Company’s stockholders
for their adoption by written consent in lieu of a meeting, and (5) recommended that the Company’s stockholders adopt the Merger
Agreement in accordance with the DGCL. The Company Board, on behalf of the Company, believes that the Merger is fair to the Company’s
“unaffiliated security holders,” as such term is defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act.
Concurrently
with the filing of this Transaction Statement, Thoughtworks is filing a notice of written consent and appraisal rights and information
statement (the “Information Statement”) under Regulation 14C of the Exchange Act with the SEC. A copy of the Information
Statement is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1). A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to the Information Statement as Annex A. As
of the date hereof, the Information Statement is in preliminary form, and is subject to completion or amendment. Terms used but not defined
in this Transaction Statement have the meanings assigned to them in the Information Statement. The consummation of the Merger and other
Transactions requires the adoption of the Merger Agreement by affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares
of Company Common Stock entitled to vote to adopt the Merger Agreement (the “Requisite Stockholder Approval”) pursuant to
Section 228 and Section 251 of the DGCL. On August 5, 2024, following the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the Significant
Company Stockholder, who held shares of Company Common Stock representing approximately 61.2% of the voting power of the outstanding
shares of Company Common Stock (i.e., based on 323,160,161 shares of Company Common Stock outstanding) as of August 4, 2024 (which was
the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to the adoption of the Merger Agreement), delivered a written consent
(the “Stockholder Consent”), which is attached to the Information Statement as Annex B, constituting the Requisite Stockholder
Approval. No further approval of the holders of Company Common Stock is required to approve and
adopt the Merger Agreement and the Transactions.
Pursuant
to General Instruction F to Schedule 13E-3, the information contained in the Information Statement, including all annexes thereto, is
expressly incorporated by reference herein in its entirety, and responses to each item herein are qualified in their entirety by the

EQUITY COMMITMENT LETTER
August 5, 2024
Tasmania Midco, LLC
c/o Apax Partners LLP
1 Knightsbridge
London SW1X 7LX
United Kingdom
Re: Project Tasmania
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter agreement sets
forth the commitment of Apax XI EUR L.P., Apax XI EUR 1 L.P., APAX XI EUR SCSp, Apax XI USD L.P., Apax XI USD 2 L.P. and APAX XI USD SCSp
(each, an “Investor” and, collectively, the “Investors”), subject to the terms and conditions contained
herein, to purchase, or cause the purchase of, directly or indirectly, certain Equity Securities of Tasmania Midco, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (“Parent”). It is contemplated that pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended,
supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, by and among Parent,
Tasmania Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Thoughtworks
Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company
surviving such Merger (the “Merger”, and together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement,
the “Transactions”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the
Merger Agreement.
1. Closing
Commitment. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, including in Section 2, the Investors hereby
severally (and not jointly or jointly and severally) commit to Parent to purchase, or cause the purchase of, directly or indirectly,
at the Closing, Equity Securities of Parent for an aggregate amount in immediately available cash funds of $600,000,000 (the
“Closing Commitment”), which Closing Commitment shall be used by Parent and Merger Sub to pay all Required
Amounts, and not for any other purpose. The aggregate obligation of the Investors to fund any amounts pursuant to this Section
1 shall in no event exceed the Closing Commitment in the aggregate (or, in the case of each Investor, its Pro Rata Percentage
(as such term is defined below) of such amount) (the “Closing Commitment Cap”). The Investors may effect the
purchase of Equity Securities of Parent directly or indirectly through one or more affiliated entities; provided that no such action
will relieve the Investors of their obligations and liabilities hereunder. The obligation of the Investors to fund any portion of
the Closing Commitment may be reduced by the Investors only (i) to the extent that such lesser amount of the Closing Commitment is
sufficient to (and the full amount of the Closing Commitment is not required to) fund all of the Required Amounts, or (ii) on a
dollar for dollar basis for purchases of securities of Parent by an assignee or transferee permitted by Section 6 of this
letter agreement made at or prior to the Closing.
2. Conditions to
Closing Commitment. The Investors’ obligations under this letter agreement to fund the Closing Commitment are subject only
to (a) the satisfaction, or waiver by Parent, of each of the conditions to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate
the Merger set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 of the Merger Agreement (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be
satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted under the Merger Agreement) of such
conditions at Closing) and (b) the substantially contemporaneous consummation of the Closing in accordance with the terms of the
Merger Agreement, including Section 2.3 thereof, in each case, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
3. Damages
Commitment. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Investors hereby agree that if (i) the Merger
Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(g) of the Merger Agreement under circumstances where Parent may be
liable for damages with respect to a Willful Breach by Parent or Merger Sub of the Merger Agreement or fraud by Parent or Merger
Sub, in each case, prior to or in connection with such termination and in accordance with, and subject to the conditions set forth
in, Section 8.2(b) of the Merger Agreement (“Qualifying Termination”) and (ii) damages with respect to such
Qualifying Termination (the “Parent Liability”) have been (x) finally agreed pursuant to a final written
settlement agreement between Parent and the Company or (y) awarded by a court having jurisdiction under Section 9.10 of the Merger
Agreement pursuant to a final non-appealable Order finding that such obligation is due and payable by Parent (the amount so awarded
or agreed, together with any out-of-pocket fees and expenses and other amounts required to be paid by Parent or Merger Sub as a
result of Parent’s failure to pay or cause to be paid the Required Amounts, the “Parent Qualifying Termination
Liability”), the Investors shall purchase, or cause the purchase of, Equity Securities of Parent for an aggregate amount
in immediately available cash funds equal to the Parent Qualifying Termination Liability (or, in the case of each Investor, its Pro
Rata Percentage of such amount), not to exceed the Damages Commitment Cap (defined below)(the “Damages
Commitment”), which amount shall be used by Parent solely to fund and satisfy the Parent Qualifying Termination Liability.
The aggregate obligation of the Investors to fund any amounts pursuant to this Section 3 shall in no event exceed
$600,000,000 in the aggregate (or, in the case of each Investor, its Pro Rata Percentage of such amount) (the “Damages
Commitment Cap”). The obligation of the Investors to fund the Damages Commitment may be reduced by the Investors on a
dollar for dollar basis for purchases of securities of Parent by an assignee or transferee permitted by Section 6 of this
letter agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall limit the Company’s right to specific performance of the
obligations of Parent, including to effect the Closing, in accordance with Section 9.8 of the Merger Agreement.
4. Company
Consent. Parent agrees that prior to the termination of this letter agreement in accordance with Section 13, it shall not
enter into any voluntary insolvency, bankruptcy, restructuring, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar proceeding
without the prior written consent of the Company.
5. Certain
Waivers. The Investors each agree that Parent may, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at any time and from time to
time, without notice to or further consent of the Investors, extend the time of payment of the Closing Commitment or the Damages
Commitment, as applicable, and may also make any agreement with the Company for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise,
discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, without in any way impairing or affecting the Investors’ respective
obligations with respect to the Closing Commitment or the Damages Commitment, as applicable, under this letter agreement or
affecting the validity or enforceability of this letter agreement or the Merger Agreement. The Investors each agree that the
obligations of each Investor hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by: (a) the
failure or delay on the part of Parent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Investors (or any
permitted assignee); (b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of the Closing Commitment or the Damages Commitment, as
applicable, or any rescission, waiver, compromise, consolidation or other amendment or modification of any of the terms or
provisions of the Merger Agreement made in accordance with the terms thereof (so long as any such amendments or modifications do not
increase the amount of the Closing Commitment or the Damages Commitment, as applicable); (c) any change in the legal existence,
structure or ownership of Parent or the Investors (or any permitted assignee); (d) any insolvency, bankruptcy, restructuring,
reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting Parent or the Investors (or any permitted assignee); (e) the existence of any
claim, set-off or other right which any Investor (or any permitted assignee) may have at any time against Parent, whether in
connection with the Closing Commitment or the Damages Commitment, as applicable, or otherwise; or (f) the adequacy of any other
means Parent may have of obtaining payment related to the Closing Commitment or the Damages Commitment, as applicable. To the
fullest extent permitted by Law, each Investor hereby expressly waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of any Law
which would otherwise require any election of remedies by Parent other than those available under the Merger Agreement. Except as
set forth herein, each Investor waives promptness, diligence, notice of non-performance, default, dishonor and protest, notice of
any Closing Commitment or Damages Commitment, as applicable, incurred and all other notices of any kind (other than notices to be
provided to Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to the Merger Agreement or notices to provided to the Investors hereunder), all defenses
which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium Law or other similar Law now or hereafter in effect or any right
to require the marshalling of assets of Parent or any Investor (or any permitted assignee hereunder) with respect to the Closing
Commitment or Damages Commitment, as applicable, or otherwise interested in the Transactions, in each case other than (i) defenses
to payment of the Required Amounts or monetary damages that are available to Parent or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement and
(ii) defenses to payment of the Closing Commitment or the Damages Commitment that are available to the Investors under this letter
agreement, including on account of any breach by the Company of this letter agreement. Each Investor acknowledges that it will
receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the Transactions and that the waivers set forth in this letter agreement are
knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
Each Investor hereby unconditionally
and irrevocably waives any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against Parent that arise from the existence, payment, performance,
or enforcement of such Investor’s obligations under or in respect of this letter agreement or any other agreement in connection
herewith, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification, whether
or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or Law, including, without limitation, the right to take
or receive from Parent, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on
account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until the Closing Commitment or Damages Commitment, as applicable, payable under this
letter agreement shall have been indefeasibly paid in full to Parent in immediately available funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this letter agreement, the Company agrees that (i) to the extent Parent is relieved of the obligation to pay all or any portion
of the Closing Commitment or the Damages Commitment in accordance with the Merger Agreement, the Investors shall each be similarly relieved
of their pro rata portion of their obligations under this letter agreement and (ii) the Investors may assert, as a defense to, or release
or discharge of, any payment or performance by the Investors under this letter agreement, any claim, set-off, deduction, defense or release
that Parent or Merger Sub could assert against the Company under the Merger Agreement.
6. Enforceability;
Assignment. This letter agreement may only be enforced by Parent and the Investors, except to the extent expressly provided in Section
11 hereof. None of the rights of Parent under this letter agreement may be assigned or transferred without the prior written
consent of the Investors, except that Parent will have the right to assign to the Company Parent’s rights to enforce and
pursue all remedies available at law or equity under this letter agreement, it being understood that any such assignment will not
relieve Parent of any of its obligations to the Company. An Investor’s obligation to fund all or any portion of the Closing
Commitment or the Damages Commitment set forth herein may be assigned or transferred by any Investor to any Person(s); provided,
however, that any such assignment or transferee shall not relieve any Investor of its obligations under this letter agreement
(including its obligation to fund any portion of the Closing Commitment or the Damage Commitment, as applicable) unless and to the
extent actually performed; and Parent and the Company shall be entitled to pursue all rights and remedies against any Investor in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this letter agreement as if such assignment had not occurred. Any assignment or transfer
in violation of any provisions of this Section 6 shall be null and void.
7. No
Modification. This letter agreement may not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified without the prior written consent of
the Company, Parent and the Investors.
8. Governing Law;
Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. This letter agreement and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or
otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this letter agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of
this letter agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by the internal Laws of the State of Delaware
applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state, without giving effect to its principles or rules of
conflict of Laws to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would require or permit the
application of the Laws of another jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto (i) irrevocably consents to the service of the summons
and complaint and any other process (whether inside or outside the territorial jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts (as defined below))
in any Legal Proceeding relating to this letter agreement, for and on behalf of itself or any of its properties or assets, in
accordance with Section 10 hereof or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Law, and nothing in this Section
8 will affect the right of any party hereto to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law; (ii)
irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits itself and its properties and assets in any Legal Proceeding to the exclusive
general jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of
Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal or state
court within the State of Delaware) (the “Chosen Courts”) in the event that any dispute or controversy arises out
of this letter agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; (iii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such
personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (iv) agrees that any Legal Proceeding arising in
connection with this letter agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby will be brought, tried and determined only in the
Chosen Courts; (v) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such Legal Proceeding in the Chosen
Courts or that such Legal Proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; and (vi) agrees
that it will not bring any Legal Proceeding relating to this letter agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court
other than the Chosen Courts. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any Legal Proceeding in the Chosen Courts
will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable
Law. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY OR LITIGATION THAT MAY ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS LETTER AGREEMENT,
OR THE NEGOTIATION, VALIDITY OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS LETTER AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE
COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT SUCH PARTY
MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING (WHETHER FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORTIOUS CONDUCT OR OTHERWISE)
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LETTER AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE,
THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (ii) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS
CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER; (iii) IT MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY; AND (iv) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS
LETTER AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.
9. Counterparts;
Entire Agreement. This letter agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which will
be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the
parties hereto and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all of the parties hereto need not sign the same
counterpart. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpg or similar attachment to electronic mail or
through an electronic signature service (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), will be treated in all
manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were
the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party hereto may raise the use of an Electronic Delivery to deliver a
signature, or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of an
Electronic Delivery, as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each party hereto forever waives any such defense, except to
the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity. This letter agreement, together with the Merger Agreement constitutes the
entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto and all common law duties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
Whenever possible, each provision of this letter agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable Law, but if any provision of this letter agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law, such
provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions of this letter agreement; provided however that (a) in no event shall this letter agreement be
given effect to without also giving effect to the Closing Commitment Cap and the Damages Commitment Cap (and the Pro Rata Percentage
of each of Investor with respect to each of the Closing Commitment Cap and the Damages Commitment Cap) and (b) the parties hereto
intend that the remedies and limitation on remedies contained in this letter agreement to be construed as integral provisions of
this letter agreement and that such remedies and limitations on remedies shall not be severable in any manner that increases a
party’s (or its Affiliate’s) liability or obligation hereunder or under the Merger Agreement. No party hereto nor the
Company shall assert, and each party and the Company shall cause their respective equityholders, Affiliates and Subsidiaries not to
assert, that this letter agreement or any part hereof is invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
10. Notices. All
notices and other communications hereunder must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly delivered and received hereunder

paragraph as well as the consent or notice rights of the Company contained herein; and (ii) the Related Persons are express third
party beneficiaries of Section 14 of this letter agreement and shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of Section
14 of this letter agreement. Parent and each Investor agrees not to oppose the granting of any injunction, specific performance
or other equitable relief on the basis that the Company has an adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is
not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. Parent and each Investor acknowledges and agrees that (a) Parent has
delivered a copy of this letter agreement to the Company and that the Company is relying on the obligations and commitments of
Parent and the Investors hereunder in connection with its decision to enter into the Merger Agreement, and (b) the right of specific
performance under this letter agreement and the Merger Agreement (subject to the conditions in this letter agreement and the Merger
Agreement, respectively) are an integral part of the Transactions, and without those rights, the Company would not have entered into
the Merger Agreement.
If the Company is entitled
to specific performance in accordance with Section 9.8(b) of the Merger Agreement to cause Closing to occur in accordance with the provisions
of the Merger Agreement, then, the Company shall have the right to enforce its and Parent’s rights hereunder without the direction
of Parent or the Investors to cause the Closing Commitment to be funded to Parent pursuant to Section 1 (solely to the extent that
Parent can enforce the funding of the Closing Commitment pursuant to the terms hereof, including subject to satisfaction of the conditions
in Section 2 hereof and solely for purpose of paying the Required Amounts at Closing and for no other purpose). The Company shall
also be entitled to specific performance to cause the Damages Commitment to be funded to Parent under Section 3 hereunder (solely
to the extent that Parent can enforce the funding of such portions of the Damages Commitment pursuant to the terms hereof). For the avoidance
of doubt, the Company is entitled to seek specific performance to cause the funding of the Closing Commitment or the Damages Commitment
in the alternative, but in no event shall the Company be entitled to specific performance to cause the funding of both the Closing Commitment
and the Damages Commitment. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent’s creditors shall have no right to specifically enforce this
letter agreement or to cause Parent to enforce this letter agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Closing Commitment or any portion
of the Damages Commitment, as applicable, will be funded to Parent and under no circumstances will the Company or any other Person be
entitled to or seek that the Investors fund, or cause the funding of, any portion of the Closing Commitment or any portion of the Damages
Commitment, as applicable, directly to the Company or any other Person other than Parent.
12. Several
Liability. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that (a) this letter agreement is not intended to, and does not, create
any agency, partnership, fiduciary or joint venture relationship between or among any of the parties hereto and neither this letter
agreement nor any other document or agreement entered into by any party hereto relating to the subject matter hereof shall be
construed to suggest otherwise, (b) the obligations of each of the Investors under this letter agreement are solely contractual
in nature and (c) the determination of each Investor was independent of each other. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this letter agreement, the liability of each Investor hereunder shall be several, not joint and several, based upon its
respective Pro Rata Percentage, and no Investor shall be liable for any amounts hereunder in excess of its Pro Rata Percentage of
the Closing Commitment or the Damages Commitment, as applicable, or such lesser amount as may be required to be paid by the
Investors in accordance with the terms hereof and the Merger Agreement, as applicable. For purposes of this letter agreement, the
“Pro Rata Percentage” of each Investor is as set forth below (subject to adjustment by the Investors from time to time;
provided that in any event the total Pro Rata Percentage of the Investors (including any permitted assignee or transferee pursuant
to Section 6 of this letter agreement) shall always equal 100% and the representations and warranties of the Investors
contained herein remain true at all times following such adjustment); provided further, that the Investors shall provide written
notice of any such adjustment to Parent no later than one (1) day prior to Closing, and this letter agreement shall be deemed
updated accordingly:

terms, (iv) the payment of all or portion of the Damages Commitment payable pursuant to this letter agreement, or (v) the Company or
any of its Representatives or any other Person, in each case, acting at the direction of the Company (A) asserting, in any Legal

Investors are liable in excess of or to a greater extent than the Closing Commitment Cap or the Damages Commitment Cap, as
applicable, or (B) instituting any Legal Proceeding in respect of a Retained Claim in any court or tribunal other than a Chosen
Court (as defined in Section 8 of this letter agreement) except any Legal Proceeding in respect of a Retained Claim seeking to

obligations thereunder pursuant to Section 9.8 of the Merger Agreement or (y) for monetary damages following a Qualifying

this letter agreement) respective obligations to fund the Closing Commitment or Damages Commitment (as applicable) in accordance
with the terms hereof, or (iii) claims by the Company against any counterparty under the Confidentiality Agreement. Upon such
termination, all rights and obligations of the parties under this letter agreement shall terminate and there shall be no liability
on the part of any party hereto; provided, that if (x) such termination is pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 13(a) on account
of a valid termination of the Merger Agreement and (y) the termination of the Merger Agreement is a Qualifying Termination, only the
obligations of the parties with respect to the Closing Commitment shall terminate without any effect on the obligations with respect
to the Damages Commitment and any termination of the Damages Commitment shall be subject to Section 13(b) below.
b) The
obligation of the Investors to fund, or cause the funding of, the Damages Commitment will terminate automatically and immediately
(at which time such obligation shall be discharged in full) upon the earliest to occur of (i) the consummation of the Closing, (ii)

Company (A) asserting, in any Legal Proceeding, (1) any claim against or with respect to the Investors or any Related Persons
in connection with this letter agreement, the Merger Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby (other than a Retained Claim) or (2) that any provision of this letter agreement is illegal, invalid or
unenforceable in whole or part or that the Investors are liable in excess of or to a greater extent than the Closing Commitment or
the Damages Commitment, as applicable, or (B) instituting any Legal Proceeding in respect of a Retained Claim in any court or
tribunal other than a Chosen Court (as defined in Section 8 of this letter agreement) except any Legal Proceeding in respect of a
Retained Claim seeking to enforce any judgment or decision rendered by any Chosen Court. Upon such termination, all rights and
obligations of the parties under this letter agreement shall terminate and there shall be no liability on the part of any party,
including with respect to the Closing Commitment or the Damages Commitment. In the event that a Qualifying Suit is timely commenced,
the Investors shall have no further liability or obligation under this letter agreement with respect to the Damages Commitment from
and after the earliest of (x) a final, non-appealable resolution of such Qualifying Suit determining that the Investors do not owe
any amount pursuant to Section 3 of this letter agreement, (y) a written agreement between the Investors, on the one hand,
and the Company, on the other hand, terminating the liabilities and obligations of the Investors pursuant to this letter agreement

aggregate amount equal to the Damages Commitment that is due and payable and receipt by the Company of the Parent Qualifying
Termination Liability or any such lesser amount as may be determined by the court of competent jurisdiction in a Qualifying Suit as
being due and payable by Parent to the Company.

DRAFT – Presentation Materials are Preliminary, Confidential and Subject to Further Revisions Key Diligence Learnings P R O J E C T T E M P E S T Emerging provider of consulting and digital transformation services; known for thought leadership, premium positioning and pricing – and has a corresponding higher proportion of onshore (high cost) talent and project delivery than its competitors Best positioned when clients are less budget - constrained and focused on longer - term / transformational strategic projects Limited outbound marketing historically; has been a beneficiary of inbound demand, given previously robust market for digital transformation Historically <20% of bookings were derived from outbound marketing, increasing Tempest’s vulnerability in budget - constrained environments; Tempest has recently invested in outbound GTM to reduce reliance on inbound demand Tempest Positioning Tempest has struggled since 2H22, when Revenue growth stalled due to various headwinds (largely macro), which has caused ongoing reductions in client budgets, delay, downsizing and cancelation of projects, a longer - than - typical sales cycle and slower new project ramping In addition, given market conditions, clients are focused on efficiency more than growth and are deprioritizing transformational / consulting projects, and favoring lower cost, offshore project delivery; this has led to a Tempest skills mismatch vs. the demand environment In August 2023, Tempest announced a cost cutting program and major reorganization (to consolidate operational functions globally, and Revenue functions regionally; under previous model, countries operated highly independently), which has rolled out slower than hoped but has nonetheless impacted ability to execute projects due to the scale/scope of the reorg Headwinds above have led to EBITDA margin guidance below consensus in the last eight quarters, and Revenue growth guidance below consensus in six of the last seven; Tempest missed Q4 2023 EBITDA by 50%+ ($14M actual vs. $31M consensus) and Revenue growth by ~500bps (19% decline vs. 14% consensus), and guided to a 2024 Revenue decline of 10 - 13% (vs. consensus decline of 1%); the stock fell 29% Recent Performance Due to a projected Q1 Revenue beat ($249M vs. guidance $241 – 246M) and strong Q1 Bookings (highest book - to - bill since 2019), Tempest is forecasting 2024 Revenue of $1,037M; this assumes a $3M tailwind in Q2 from accelerating conversion of the lower - likelihood pipeline Tempest forecasts 2024 EBITDA of $92M (8.8% margin, in line with 8 - 10% guidance), which hinges on accelerating near - term headcount cuts by ~200 heads vs. the current trajectory (delayed thus far by lack of senior management support) and $2M of additional non - wage cost cuts 2024 Forecast Tempest forecasts growth of 11% in 2025 and 20 - 21% thereafter, assuming a macro and demand recovery, followed by a return to the company’s long - term growth rate driven by strong demand for its differentiated services and limited market penetration Revenue and Gross Margin forecast assumes 68% utilization from 2025 onwards (historically high; driven by reorg / other operational initiatives), and ABR growth (driven by market rebound, recovery of consulting work) outpacing wage growth (held down by hiring shift towards junior roles) EBITDA forecast assumes increasing SCM efficiency driven by market rebound and 2024 SCM transformation, and other operating efficiencies Long - Term Plan Source: Tempest Management.

The key inputs into the Enterprise Value of a company implied by DCF analysis are: The company’s cash flows through the end of the forecast period The terminal value (TV) of the company at the end of that forecast period, beyond which annual cash flow forecasts are no longer available and the value of the company at that point in time must be calculated in aggregate, not based on cash flows in each year The present value of those forecast cash flows and TV, calculated by discounting them at the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) In situations where the company has not yet reached mature, steady - state growth by the end of the forecast period, TV is sometimes calculated by applying a terminal multiple to the company’s financials at that time (e.g., to EBITDA) based on comparable company multiples, and the present value of that TV can make up much of the overall DCF valuation (in this analysis, well over 90%) WACC is calculated based on the risk - free rate, unlevered beta, levering factor, equity risk premium, cost of debt and the tax rate Of those, the following are typically affected by real - time market data : risk - free rate (based on the yield on 10 - Year government bonds) and unlevered beta (calculated based on the beta and leverage of comparable companies and of the company itself, to which stock price is an input) In this analysis, terminal multiple is calculated based on the trading multiples (in this case EV/EBITDA) of comparable companies; EV is affected in real - time by the stock prices of those companies, and EBITDA is affected as and when research analysts update their forecasts Though many of the DCF inputs above can change often, comparable company multiples are typically the only inputs that change materially over a short period of time As a result, though WACC is a critical driver of implied DCF valuation, it is the terminal multiple input (not the WACC) that is generally the cause of large changes in implied DCF valuation over short periods of time 3

and Michael R. Sutcliff (the “Executive” and, together with the Company, the “Parties”).
Whereas, the Company

EXECUTION VERSION
INVESTMENT AGREEMENT
THIS INVESTMENT AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”) is entered into as of August 5, 2024, by and between Tasmania Parent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Topco”),
and Michael Sutcliff (the “Stockholder”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings
given to those terms in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).
WHEREAS, Tasmania Midco, LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Topco (“Parent”), Tasmania Merger Sub,
Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Thoughtworks Holding, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), have entered, or will enter into, an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated or
to be dated as of August 5, 2024 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Merger
Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as the surviving
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”), upon and subject to the terms and conditions in
the Merger Agreement; and
WHEREAS, upon and subject to
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement, the Stockholder desires to invest $250,000.00 (the “Investment Amount”), and Topco desires to sell to the
Stockholder, a number of newly issued shares of common stock of Topco with an aggregate value equal to the Investment Amount (the “Topco
Shares”).
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the parties hereby acknowledge, Topco and the Stockholder hereby agree as
follows:
1. Purchase
and Issuance of Topco Shares. On the Closing Date, the Stockholder shall pay to Topco an aggregate amount in cash equal to the Investment
Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated in writing by Topco, and, in exchange therefor, Topco
shall issue to the Stockholder the Topco Shares (the “Investment”). The closing of the Investment (the “Investment
Closing”) shall occur on the Closing Date immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Investment Time”)
(but is contingent on the occurrence of the Merger). If the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement does
not occur for any reason, or the Merger Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms, this Agreement will automatically
terminate and none of the parties hereto or their respective Affiliates, stockholders, general partners, limited partners, members, directors,
officers, managers, trustees, employees, agents, consultants or Representatives will have any liability or obligation under this Agreement.
In such event, each party hereto shall, as promptly as practicable, provide all such cooperation as the other parties hereto may reasonably
request in order to ensure that the foregoing has occurred and been made effective.
2. Acknowledgements.
(a) Prior
to the Investment Closing, the Stockholder shall provide to Topco a properly completed and duly executed Internal Revenue Service
Form W-9, or applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8.
(b) At
the Investment Time, the Stockholder shall become party to and become bound by the terms and provisions of a stockholders agreement of
Topco which shall incorporate the terms set forth on Annex A (as amended, the “Stockholders Agreement”) by delivering
to Topco a duly executed counterpart signature page to the Stockholders Agreement. By executing this Agreement, the Stockholder
hereby agrees to consummate the Investment Transaction regardless of whether the Stockholders Agreement has been agreed and entered into
at or immediately prior to the Investment Time. In the event the parties do not enter into the Stockholders Agreement at or prior to the
Investment Time, the terms and conditions on Annex A will become effective and operative at the Investment Time until such time
as the parties enter into the Stockholders Agreement. The Stockholder acknowledges that it is a condition to Topco’s issuance of
the Topco Shares under this Agreement that the Stockholder become a party to the Stockholders Agreement and that the Topco Shares hereunder
will not be issued until Stockholder becomes a party to the Stockholders Agreement, but that the Stockholder’s obligations hereunder
with respect to the Investment Transaction are not conditioned on entry into the Stockholders Agreement at or prior to the Investment
Time.
(c) The
Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that “Good Reason” (or any similar concept) pursuant to the Employment Agreement, dated
as of May 2, 2024 and amended as of July 31, 2024, by and between the Stockholder and Thoughtworks Inc., and any other agreement by and
between the Stockholder and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
(collectively, the “Existing Agreements”) shall not occur solely by virtue of the consummation of the Merger or any
modification in the nature of the Stockholder’s title, duties, authorities and responsibilities in connection therewith. The Stockholder
hereby irrevocably waives any right to make any claim that the Stockholder has a right to resign for “Good Reason” (or any
similar concept) under the Existing Agreements in connection with the Merger due to a diminution in the Stockholder’s title, duties,
responsibilities or authority (individually or taken as a whole) and irrevocably waives any claims for any severance payments or benefits
that the Stockholder may have associated with such events, actions or circumstances.
3. Disclosure.
The Stockholder hereby (a) consents to and authorizes the publication and disclosure by Topco, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company (including
in the Information Statement and Schedule 13E-3 or any other publicly filed document relating to the Merger or the transactions contemplated
by the Merger Agreement) of (i) the Stockholder’s identity, (ii) the Stockholder’s beneficial ownership of the Topco Shares
(including the number of Topco Shares beneficially owned by the Stockholder), and (iii) the nature of the Stockholder’s commitments,
arrangements and understandings under this Agreement, and any other information that Topco, Parent, Merger Sub or the Company reasonably
determines to be required to be disclosed in any publicly filed document in connection with the Merger or otherwise with respect to the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (b) agrees to notify Topco, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company of any required
corrections with respect to any written information supplied by the Stockholder specifically for use in any such disclosure document as
promptly as practicable following the Stockholder’s knowledge of the necessity of any such required correction.
4. General
Provisions. This Agreement may be amended, modified or waived only by an instrument in writing executed by Topco and the Stockholder.
This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be
executed in one or more counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when one or
more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties
need not sign the same counterpart.
This Agreement will be binding upon and inure
solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permissible assigns, and, nothing in this Agreement, express
or implied, is intended to or will be construed to or will confer upon any other Person any right, claim, cause of action, benefit or
remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, including by way of subrogation. Neither party shall assign this
Agreement without the written consent of the other party; provided, that Topco may assign this Agreement to any of its Affiliates;
provided, further, that no assignment shall release Topco from any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement.
This Agreement and all claims or causes of action
(whether in contract, tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution
or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by the internal Laws of the State of Delaware
applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict
of Laws to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would require or permit the application of
the Laws of another jurisdiction.
Each party will execute and deliver such certificates
and other documents and take such other actions as may reasonably be requested by any other party in order to consummate or implement
the transactions contemplated hereby.

parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.

Capitalized terms used below
but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the preliminary information statement filed by Thoughtworks Holding,
Inc. (the “Company”) concurrently with this Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E of which this Exhibit 107 is a part.
| (1) | Aggregate number of securities to which transaction applies: The maximum number of securities
of the Company to which this transaction applies is estimated to be 154,408,045, which consists of: |
| (a) | 125,515,041 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, which may be entitled to receive
the merger consideration of $4.40 per share (which excludes the 197,750,138 shares of Common Stock held by the Significant Company Stockholder); |
| (b) | 12,039,236 shares of Common Stock underlying restricted stock units outstanding, which may be
entitled to receive the merger consideration of $4.40 per share; |
| (c) | 2,821,379 shares of Common Stock underlying outstanding performance stock units (with the number of shares of Common Stock subject
to each such award determined assuming achievement of target-level performance, as applicable) outstanding, which may be entitled to receive
the merger consideration of $4.40 per share; and |
| (d) | 14,032,389 shares of Common Stock underlying options to purchase shares of Company Common
Stock outstanding that have a per share exercise price less than $4.40 (“In-the-Money Company
Options”), which may be entitled to receive the merger consideration of $4.40 per share less any applicable exercise price. |
Pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, options to purchase shares of Company Common Stock outstanding that have a per
share exercise price that is equal to or greater than $4.40 will be cancelled for no consideration, therefore the Company has excluded
shares of Common Stock underlying such options from the maximum number of securities to which this
transaction applies in the table above.
| (2) | In accordance with
Rule 0-11 under the Exchange Act the proposed maximum aggregate value of the transaction estimated solely for the purposes of calculating
the filing fee was calculated based on the sum of: |
| (a) | the product of 125,515,041 shares of Common Stock and the merger consideration of $4.40 per
share; |
| (b) | the product of 12,039,236 shares of Common Stock underlying restricted stock units outstanding
and the merger consideration of $4.40 per share; |
| (c) | the product of 2,821,379 shares of Common Stock underlying outstanding performance stock units (with the number of shares of
Common Stock subject to each such award determined assuming achievement of target-level performance, as applicable) and the merger consideration
of $4.40 per share; and |
| (d) | the product of 14,032,389 shares of Common Stock underlying In-the-Money Company Options and
