Dear Kyndryls,
On Thursday, July 30th, at 1:00 p.m. ET, Kyndryl will hold its Annual Meeting of Stockholders. To the extent you own Kyndryl stock, at Kyndryl's 2026 meeting, shareholders as of the June 3, 2026 record date are eligible to vote on the following proposals:
| 1. | Election of six director nominees named for a one-year term; | |
| 2. | The compensation of our named executive officers; | |
| 3. | Approval of the Amended and Restated Kyndryl 2021 Long-Term Performance Plan; and | |
| 4. | Ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. |
Kyndryl shareholders are encouraged to vote and can do so now in advance of the meeting using the instructions below.
Thank you.
Andrew Bonzani
General Counsel and Secretary
Notes on voting: Shareholders can choose to vote "For," "Against" or "Abstain" with respect to each of the proposals. For a director nominee to be elected pursuant to Proposal 1, he or she must receive more votes cast "For" than "Against," such that abstentions have no effect. For each of Proposals 2 through 4 to pass, the votes cast "For" must constitute a majority of the votes present and entitled to vote on the item of business. As described in Kyndryl's proxy statement for the 2026 meeting, abstentions count as votes cast for purposes of Proposals 2 through 4; accordingly, an abstention with respect to those proposals would have the same effect as a vote cast "Against." The Board of Directors recommends that you vote "For" each director nominee and "For" Proposals 2 through 4.
