COGNIZANT TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS CORP executive John Sunshin Kim, the company’s CLO, CAO and Corporate Secretary, reported routine equity compensation activity in Class A Common Stock. Several restricted stock unit (RSU) awards vested into a total of 4,400 shares of common stock through multiple derivative exercises coded “M.”
To cover tax obligations from these vestings, 2,388 shares of Class A Common Stock were withheld at $55.76 per share in a transaction coded “F,” which is a tax-withholding disposition rather than an open-market sale. The filing reflects scheduled RSU vesting and related tax payments, not discretionary buying or selling of shares.
