Cognizant Director Karima Silvent Acquires Additional RSUs

Karima Silvent, a Director at Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp (CTSH), filed a Form 4 reporting an acquisition of derivative securities. On August 25, 2026, Silvent was awarded 21.8273 Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) at a price of $0.00 per unit. According to the filing's footnotes, these RSUs were granted as dividend equivalent rights accrued on previously outstanding units. This type of transaction (Code 'A') is a non-discretionary acquisition and is common for insiders holding equity awards that pay dividends. The newly acquired RSUs are scheduled to vest on June 2, 2027. After this transaction, Silvent's direct holdings of RSUs increased to 4,192.8273. The small number of units and the nature of the transaction indicate it is a routine event with low market significance.
