Cognizant (CTSH) Director Abdalla Zein Receives RSU Award / Vests

What Happened

Abdalla Zein, a director of Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTSH), had restricted stock units (RSUs) reflected in a Form 4 for June 2–3, 2026. The filing shows a grant/award of 4,171 RSU units (derivative) and the conversion/exercise of 2,919 derivative units into shares.
The filing also shows tax-withholding and fractional-share cash-out: 17 shares were withheld to satisfy taxes (withholding value $937 at $55.14/share) and a 0.626 fractional share was paid in cash for $35. These actions are the routine mechanics when RSUs vest and convert to common stock.

Context

This transaction is primarily the vesting and conversion of RSUs into shares, with routine tax-withholding and a cash payment for a fractional share — not an open-market purchase or sale. Such transactions are typical compensation events and do not by themselves indicate the insider’s market view.
