In response to changing business needs, the Company has taken workforce rebalancing actions to increase productivity, enhance cost-competitiveness and rebalance skills. The current and noncurrent workforce rebalancing liabilities at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were derived from actions taken by the former Parent related to terminated employees who are no longer working for the Company who were granted annual payments in certain countries. Depending on the individual country’s legal requirements, these required payments will continue until the former employee begins receiving pension benefits or dies. The workforce rebalancing liabilities at March 31, 2023 include liabilities inherited from our former Parent plus new actions taken by Kyndryl during the fiscal year. Refer to Note 19 – Workforce Rebalancing and Site-Rationalization Charges for details.

Pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement with our former Parent, the Company will be required to reimburse our former Parent for certain tax refunds we receive and to indemnify our former Parent for certain tax payments. For more information, see Note 5 – Taxes.
