\n TO: ALL OWNERS OF THE COMMON STOCK OF COGNIZANT TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS CORPORATION (“COGNIZANT” OR THE “COMPANY”) CURRENTLY AND AS OF NOVEMBER 25, 2025:<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n
\n \n <\/td>\n\n

\n THIS NOTICE RELATES TO THE PENDENCY AND PROPOSED SETTLEMENT OF STOCKHOLDER DERIVATIVE LITIGATION. PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY. IF YOU ARE A COGNIZANT STOCKHOLDER, THIS NOTICE CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n \n <\/td>\n\n \n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n \n <\/td>\n\n

\n THIS DERIVATIVE ACTION IS NOT A “CLASS ACTION.” THUS, THERE IS NO COMMON FUND UPON WHICH YOU CAN MAKE A CLAIM FOR MONETARY PAYMENT. IF YOU DO NOT OBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT, THE AMOUNT OF ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES, OR THE AMOUNT OF THE SERVICE AWARD DESCRIBED IN THIS NOTICE, YOU ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO TAKE ANY ACTION.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table><\/div>\n

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the parties to the above-captioned stockholder derivative action have reached an agreement to settle the derivative claims brought on behalf of and for the benefit of Cognizant.<\/p>\n

The terms of the settlement are set forth in a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement dated November 25, 2025 (the “Stipulation”).1<\/sup> This notice should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the text of the Stipulation, which has been filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. A link to the text of the Stipulation and the full-length Long-Form Notice of Pendency and Proposed Settlement of Stockholder Derivative Action may be found on the “Investors” page of Cognizant’s website at http:\/\/investors.cognizant.com.<\/a><\/p>\n

\n \n <\/td>\n\n \n <\/td>\n\n \n <\/td>\n\n \n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

\n
\n 1<\/sup> All capitalized terms herein have the same meanings as set forth in the Stipulation.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table><\/div>\n

Under the terms of the Stipulation, as a part of the proposed Settlement, the Defendants shall cause their insurers to pay to Cognizant a sum of $5.5 million (the “Settlement Fund”), minus the court-approved Fee and Expense Amount. Defendants acknowledge that Plaintiff’s and Plaintiff’s Counsel’s demand, litigation, and settlement efforts caused Defendants’ insurers to agree to make the cash payment to Cognizant.<\/p>\n

In consideration of the substantial benefit conferred upon Cognizant as a direct result of the Settlement and the efforts of Plaintiff and Plaintiff’s Counsel in the Derivative Action, Plaintiff’s Counsel will request Court approval of an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses not to exceed $1,830,000 (or approximately 33% of the Settlement Fund). Plaintiff’s Counsel also will apply to the Court for a service award of up to $15,000 to Plaintiff, subject to Court approval, which will be paid from any approved Fee and Expense Amount.<\/p>\n

A hearing will be held on SEPTEMBER 14,<\/b>2026, at<\/b>11:00 a.m. <\/b>before the Honorable Stacey D. Adams of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey at the Frank R. Lautenberg Post Office and U.S. Courthouse, 2 Federal Square, Courtroom 9, Newark, New Jersey 07102 (the “Settlement Hearing”), at which the Court will determine whether to approve the Settlement.<\/p>\n

Any Current Cognizant Stockholder has a right, but is not required, to appear and to be heard at the Settlement Hearing, providing that he, she, or it is a stockholder\u00a0of record or beneficial owner of Cognizant common stock and was a stockholder of record or beneficial owner of Cognizant common stock as of November 25, 2025. Any Current Cognizant Stockholder who satisfies this requirement may enter an appearance through counsel of such stockholder’s own choosing and at such stockholder’s own expense, or may appear on his or her own. However, you shall not be heard at the Settlement Hearing unless, no later than August 31, 2026, you have filed with the Court a written notice of objection containing the following information:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Your name, legal address, and telephone number;<\/li>\n
  2. The case name and number (Palempalli v. Patsalos-Fox, et al.<\/i>, Case No. 2:21-cv-12025-EP-SDA);<\/li>\n
  3. Proof of being a Cognizant stockholder currently and as of November 25, 2025;<\/li>\n
  4. The date(s) you acquired your Cognizant stock;<\/li>\n
  5. A statement of each objection being made;<\/li>\n
  6. Notice of whether you intend to appear at the Settlement Hearing (you are not required to appear); and<\/li>\n
  7. Copies of any papers you intend to submit to the Court, along with the names of any witness(es) you intend to call to testify at the Settlement Hearing and the subject(s) of their testimony.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
