Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Class A Common Stock of Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation (the "Company").
The time-vesting restricted stock units (the "RSUs") were granted on February 26, 2019 under the Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation 2017 Incentive Award Plan and vest in quarterly installments over three years, commencing on June 1, 2019, with 1/12th of the stock units vesting on each quarterly vesting date so that the stock units will be fully vested on the twelfth quarterly vesting date. The stock units will be fully vested on March 1, 2022.
Represents the total number of performance-based restricted stock units (the "PSUs") that are eligible to vest as a result of the Company having attained certain performance milestones, as determined by the Company's Compensation Committee on February 26, 2019 based upon the Company's audited financial statements for the 2017 and 2018 fiscal years. The PSUs were granted on March 2, 2017 pursuant to the Company's 2009 Incentive Compensation Plan. In accordance with the award agreement, 1/3rd and 2/3rds of the PSUs that are eligible to vest will vest on July 1, 2019 and January 1, 2020, respectively, provided in each case that Mr. Middleton remains in the Company's service through such date.
