Amendment No. 1 to Draft Registration Statement Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements, page 35 1. Please tell us how you considered the need for any adjustments related to your intellectual property agreement as discussed on page 92. Alternatively, if this agreement is already reflected in your adjustments, please tell us where. Autonomous Entity Adjustments, page 40 2. We note that as an independent separate public company, you expect to incur certain expenses that were previously allocated to you by your parent. It appears that only certain of these expenses are covered by your Transition Services Agreement. Please tell us how Martin Schroeter Kyndryl Holdings, LLC August 20, 2021 Page 2 the remaining adjustments to expenses not covered by this agreement were determined. Also, tell us how you concluded these were Autonomous Entity Adjustments and not Management's Adjustments. In this regard, tell us why you did not consider reductions of allocated expenses by your parent to be a synergy of the transaction. Refer to Item 11- 02(a)(6) of Regulation S-X. Other Adjustments, page 41 3. Please tell us why you present the adjustment to remove revenue for a client that was historically managed by you in a separate Other Adjustments column and not as a Transaction Adjustment.
