THE EXCHANGE OFFER AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 12:00 MIDNIGHT, NEW YORK
CITY TIME, ON FEBRUARY 6, 2003, UNLESS THE EXCHANGE OFFER IS EXTENDED.

IMS Health Incorporated is offering to exchange 0.309 shares of Cognizant
Technology Solutions Corporation class B common stock for each share of IMS
Health common stock that it accepts in the exchange offer. The terms and
conditions of the exchange offer are described in the offering
circular-prospectus and the related offering documents that IMS Health has
distributed to IMS Health stockholders.

Each share of Cognizant class B common stock received in the exchange offer will
convert automatically into one share of Cognizant class A common stock when it
is first transferred after the exchange offer or in certain other circumstances
described in the offering circular-prospectus. Cognizant's class A common stock
is listed for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "CTSH."

IMS Health will accept up to 36,540,129 IMS Health shares and will distribute up
to 11,290,900 shares of Cognizant class B common stock in the exchange offer,
representing all the Cognizant shares that IMS Health currently owns. If IMS
Health stockholders tender more than 36,540,129 IMS Health shares, IMS Health
will generally accept tenders on a pro rata basis under the terms of the offer.

The offer is conditioned on, among other things, the tender of at least
27,400,000 IMS Health shares. IMS Health believes that the exchange of shares
under the offer will generally be tax-free to exchanging stockholders and to IMS
Health under federal income tax laws.


None of IMS Health, Cognizant, any of their respective officers or directors or
the joint dealer managers makes any recommendation as to whether or not
stockholders should tender their IMS Health shares. Stockholders must make their
own decisions after reading the offering circular-prospectus and related
offering documents.

IMS Health expressly reserves the right, at any time or from time to time, in
its sole discretion for any reason, including the non-satisfaction of any of the
conditions specified in the offering circular-prospectus under the caption "The
