You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement or in any amendment to this prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information, and if anyone provides, or has provided you, with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. The selling stockholders are offering to sell, and seeking offers to buy, shares of our common stock only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are permitted. The information contained in this prospectus, as well as the information filed previously with the Securities and Exchange Commission and incorporated by reference, is accurate only as of the date of the document containing the information, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement or any sale of our common stock.
A prospectus supplement may add to, update or change the information contained in this prospectus. You should read both this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement together with additional information described below under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.” In this prospectus, references to the “Company,” “Kanbay,” “registrant,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Kanbay International, Inc. The phrase “this prospectus” refers to this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, unless the context requires otherwise.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus and other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission contain forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about us, our future performance, the industry in which we operate, our beliefs and our management’s assumptions. In addition, other written or oral statements that constitute forward-looking statements may be made by us or on our behalf. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “goals,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict, including those in certain of our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission incorporated by reference herein. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Given these risks and uncertainties, prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
Other risks, uncertainties and factors, including those discussed in our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements. Except as required under the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we do not have any intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements after the distribution of this prospectus, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions or otherwise.

We are a global information technology, or IT, services firm. We provide management consulting, technology integration and development and outsourcing services through our global delivery platform to clients focused on financial services and consumer and industrial products. We also have an emerging presence in the communications and media and life sciences industries. We are headquartered in greater Chicago, Illinois with offices in North America and India as well as London, Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Melbourne.
On March 9, 2006, we completed the acquisition of Adjoined Consulting, Inc., a privately held IT consulting firm based in Miami, Florida. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $165 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, which consisted of cash in the amount of approximately $95 million and 4,254,839 shares of our common stock. This prospectus covers the offering for resale of the shares of our common stock held by the former stockholders of Adjoined listed as “Selling Stockholders” in a prospectus supplement.
Our principal executive office is located at 6400 Shafer Court, Suite 100, Rosemont, Illinois 60018, and our telephone number at that office is (847) 384-6100. Our web site is located at www.kanbay.com. Information contained on our web site does not constitute part of this prospectus.
You should carefully consider the risks under the caption “Risk Factors” in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, incorporated by reference herein, before making an investment decision. If any of these risks actually occur, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. In this case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. These are not the only risks we face, and additional risks that are not yet identified or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations.
We are registering the shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement for the account of the selling stockholders identified in the section of the applicable prospectus supplement entitled “Selling Stockholders.” The proceeds from the sale of our common stock by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement will go to the selling stockholders who offer and sell their shares of our common stock. We will not receive any part of the proceeds from the sale of these shares.
On March 9, 2006, we completed the acquisition of Adjoined Consulting, Inc., a privately held IT consulting firm based in Miami, Florida. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $165 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, which consisted of cash in the amount of approximately $95 million and 4,254,839 shares of our common stock. This prospectus covers the offering for resale of the shares of our common stock held by certain former stockholders of Adjoined that may be offered and sold from time to time. Selling stockholders will be identified in a prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth, with respect to each selling stockholder:
• the name of the selling stockholder;
• the nature of the position, office or other material relationship which the selling stockholder has had within the prior three years with us or any of our affiliates;
• the number of shares of our common stock owned by the selling stockholder prior to the offering;
• the number of shares of our common stock to be offered by the selling stockholder; and
• the amount and (if one percent or more) the percentage of shares of our common stock to be owned by the selling stockholder after the completion of the offering.
3
On March 9, 2006, we entered into a registration rights agreement with certain former stockholders of Adjoined Consulting, Inc., pursuant to which we agreed to register for resale the shares of our common stock issued to them in connection with our acquisition of Adjoined. Under the registration rights agreement, such stockholders are not permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of (i) any shares of our common stock acquired in connection with our acquisition of Adjoined during the 90-day period immediately following the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission and (ii) more than 50% of any shares of our common stock acquired in connection with our acquisition of Adjoined during the succeeding 90-day period commencing 90 days after the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
On March 9, 2006, we also entered into an escrow agreement, pursuant to which 452,335 shares of the 4,254,061 shares of our common stock registered for resale under this prospectus have been deposited in an escrow account. These escrowed shares may be used to satisfy potential indemnification obligations of the former stockholders of Adjoined Consulting, Inc. The escrowed shares that are not needed to cover outstanding claims made by us pursuant to the escrow agreement will be released on April 2, 2007.
The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time in one or more transactions on the Nasdaq National Market or any other organized market where our shares of common stock may be traded, sell any or all of their shares of our common stock through underwriters, dealers or agents, directly to one or more purchasers or through a combination of any such methods of sale. The selling stockholders may distribute the shares of our common stock from time to time in one or more transactions:
• at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;
• at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;
• at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or
• at negotiated prices.
The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
• ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
• one or more block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent or principal of all of the shares held by the selling stockholder;
• purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its account;
• an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
• privately negotiated transactions;
• short sales;
• broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
• a combination of any such methods of sale; and
• any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The selling stockholders may engage in short sales against the box, puts and calls and other transactions in our common stock or derivatives of our common stock and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these trades. The selling stockholders may pledge their shares to their brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If the selling stockholders default on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares. The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, if available, rather than under this prospectus, or may transfer the shares by gift, distribution or other transfer not involving market makers or established trading markets.
Agents may from time to time solicit offers to purchase our common stock from the selling stockholders. If required, any agent involved in the offer or sale of our common stock will be named, and any compensation payable to the agent will be described, in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
4
If underwriters are used in a sale, our common stock will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or under delayed delivery contracts or other contractual commitments. Our common stock may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. If an underwriter or underwriters are used in the sale of our common stock, an underwriting agreement will be executed with the underwriter or underwriters at the time an agreement for the sale is reached. The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the managing underwriter or underwriters, as well as any other underwriter or underwriters, with respect to a particular underwritten offering of our common stock, and will set forth the terms of the transactions, including compensation of the underwriters and dealers and the public offering price, if applicable. This prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement will be used by the underwriters to resell our common stock.
If a dealer is used in the sale of our common stock, the selling stockholder or an underwriter will sell our common stock to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell our common stock to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale. To the extent required, the name of the dealer and the terms of the transactions will be set forth in a prospectus supplement.
The selling stockholders, underwriters, dealers or agents that are involved in selling shares of our common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” as defined in the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with such sales, and any discounts or commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act of 1933. We will identify any underwriters, dealers or agents, and describe their compensation, in a prospectus supplement. In compliance with the guidelines of the NASD, the maximum commission or discount to be received by any NASD member or independent broker-dealer may not exceed 8% of the aggregate principal amount of the securities offered pursuant to a prospectus supplement.
Certain of any such underwriters, dealers and agents, including their affiliates, may be customers of, engage in transactions with and perform services for us and our subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business. We or the selling stockholders may enter into agreements with the underwriters, dealers and agents to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or to contribute with respect to payments which the underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make. Underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us or our subsidiaries in the ordinary course of their businesses.
In order to facilitate the offering of our common stock, any underwriters or agents, as the case may be, involved in the offering of our common stock may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our common stock. Specifically, the underwriters or agents, as the case may be, may overallot in connection with the offering, creating a short position in our common stock for their own account. In addition, to cover overallotments or to stabilize the price of our common stock, the underwriters or agents, as the case may be, may bid for, and purchase, our common stock in the open market. Finally, in any offering of our common stock through a syndicate of underwriters, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allotted to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing our common stock in the offering if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed shares of our common stock in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of our common stock above independent market levels. The underwriters or agents, as the case may be, are not required to engage in these activities.
We intend to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part for such period as required to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement between the selling stockholders and us. We may suspend the selling stockholders’ rights to resell shares of our common stock under this prospectus.

We have agreed to pay the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of this prospectus, the related registration statement and any applicable prospectus supplement, except for commissions and discounts of underwriters, brokers or dealers, fees and expenses of more than one counsel for the selling stockholders and any transfer fees incurred in connection with resales of our common stock by the selling stockholders, each to be paid by the selling stockholders. We have also agreed to pay Securities and Exchange Commission and NASD registration fees and fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification of our common stock for resale under state securities laws.
The validity of the shares of our common stock to be offered for resale by the selling stockholders under this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Winston & Strawn LLP, Chicago, Illinois.
Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, has audited our consolidated financial statements and schedule included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, as set forth in their reports, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus and elsewhere in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Our financial statements and schedule and management’s assessment are incorporated by reference in reliance on Ernst & Young LLP’s reports, given on their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the common stock being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Delaware General Corporation Law
We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.
In addition, we have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that a Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director:
II-1
• for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to Kanbay or its stockholders;
• for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
• for payment of dividends or stock purchases or redemptions by the corporation in violation of Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or
• for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Our certificate of incorporation includes such a provision. As a result of this provision, Kanbay and its stockholders may be unable to obtain monetary damages from a director for certain breaches of his or her fiduciary duty to Kanbay. This provision does not, however, eliminate a director’s fiduciary responsibilities, and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. The provision also does not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws.
Indemnification Agreements
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and certain officers and key employees that may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time. These indemnification agreements may require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors and certain officers and key employees against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service. These indemnification agreements may also require us to advance all expenses incurred by the directors or certain officers or key employees in investigating or defending any such action, suit or proceeding. However, an individual will not receive indemnification for judgments, settlements or expenses if he or she is found liable to Kanbay (except to the extent the court determines he or she is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses) for settlements not approved by Kanbay or for settlements and expenses if the settlement is not approved by the court.
Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance
Kanbay maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, which insure against liabilities that directors or officers may incur in such capacities. These insurance policies, together with the indemnification agreements, may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our directors and officers for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or otherwise.

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
Provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any
II-4
statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
