Cognizant Director John M. Dineen Acquires Additional Restricted Stock Units

On August 25, 2026, John M. Dineen, a Director at Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp, acquired a total of 181.29 Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). These transactions, reported under transaction code 'A', represent awards received as dividend equivalent rights on previously granted RSUs and were acquired at a price of $0.00 per share. This type of transaction is a routine component of non-employee director compensation and is not an open-market trade. The RSUs represent a right to receive shares of Class A Common Stock in the future, subject to vesting and settlement conditions. Following one of the transactions, Mr. Dineen's holdings for that specific grant of RSUs totaled 20,464.44 units. The acquisition is considered to have low trading significance as it is part of a standard compensation structure rather than a discretionary investment decision by the insider.
