COGNEX CORPORATION

Cognex Corporation is a Nasdaq-listed public company, and its share register is not published as a complete list of holders. Ownership information available for its profile reflects institutional investment managers that disclose their positions through Schedule 13F filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which cover only larger institutional holders rather than the company’s full shareholder base. As of 4 September 2026, the five largest disclosed holders on record are Pictet Asset Management Holding SA (approximately 6.96% of shares outstanding), State Street Corporation (approximately 5.27%), the Vanguard World Fund’s Information Technology Index Fund (approximately 3.20%), the Vanguard Index Funds’ Small-Cap Growth Index Fund (approximately 2.25%) and the Global X Funds’ Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF (approximately 1.92%), out of nine institutional holders recorded in the underlying dataset. Each of these positions is held by an asset-management company on behalf of pooled or index-tracking funds, not by an individual.

No ultimate beneficial owner is identified for Cognex Corporation. Its disclosed shareholders are institutional asset managers and index funds rather than natural persons or a single controlling shareholder group, so no individual meets a beneficial-ownership threshold based on the available filings.

Shareholder disclosure for Cognex Corporation should be treated as major-shareholders-only: it reflects large institutional positions reportable under U.S. securities law rather than a complete or verified register of every shareholder, and holdings can change between quarterly filing dates.

Cognex Corporation’s officer and director roles changed materially during 2024 to 2026, and the most recent positions are confirmed through the company’s SEC filings rather than an older company-registry snapshot. As of its 2026 annual meeting proxy statement, Cognex Corporation’s board comprised eight directors, chaired by independent director Anthony Sun, with Matthew Moschner sitting on the board as President and Chief Executive Officer. Sachin S. Lawande, who has served as an independent director since 1 January 2021 and separately is President and Chief Executive Officer of Visteon Corporation, continues on the board with a term running to 2027.

Matthew Moschner became President and Chief Executive Officer effective 27 June 2025, succeeding Robert J. Willett, who had served as CEO since 2011 and subsequently retired from the board effective 2 March 2026. Dennis S. Fehr was appointed Senior Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer effective 3 May 2024, succeeding Paul Todgham, who resigned as Senior Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer effective 15 March 2024. Other current executive officers include Carl W. Gerst III as Executive Vice President, Global Sales and Products, and Sheila M. DiPalma as Chief Culture Officer and Executive Vice President of Employee Services.

Recent officer changes: (1) Matthew Moschner’s appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer, effective 27 June 2025, replacing Robert J. Willett; (2) Dennis S. Fehr’s appointment as Chief Financial Officer, effective 3 May 2024, following Paul Todgham’s resignation effective 15 March 2024; (3) Robert J. Willett’s retirement from the board of directors, effective 2 March 2026.

Nationality is not officially disclosed for Cognex Corporation’s directors or officers in its SEC filings. Correspondence addresses on file for certain officers are the company’s own registered office at One Vision Drive, Natick, Massachusetts, rather than personal or residential addresses, and should not be read as evidence of anyone’s residence or nationality. The officer information above reflects Cognex Corporation’s most recent proxy statement and public announcements rather than the company’s underlying state-registry filing, which had not been updated to reflect these 2024 to 2026 changes.

Cognex Corporation is a publicly traded, independent parent company; no immediate or ultimate parent above Cognex Corporation has been identified in its SEC filings. According to Exhibit 21 to its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2025, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Cognex Corporation wholly owns, at 100%, approximately 48 direct and indirect subsidiaries incorporated across roughly 20 countries, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Ireland, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Switzerland, Spain, Turkey, Japan, South Korea, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and India.

Notable subsidiaries include Cognex Europe B.V. in the Netherlands, Cognex Ltd. and Cognex Ireland Ltd. in Ireland, Cognex UK, Ltd. in the United Kingdom, Cognex K.K. in Japan, Cognex Vision Inspection System (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. in China, Cognex Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. in Mexico, and Moritex Corporation in Japan together with its own Asia-Pacific subsidiaries in Hong Kong, mainland China, Singapore and Vietnam, which joined the group through the October 2023 acquisition of Moritex. Each entity listed in Exhibit 21 is reported as a wholly owned subsidiary; the filing does not further distinguish direct from indirect holdings.

Two verified structural changes are on record: Cognex Corporation’s acquisition of Moritex Corporation from Trustar Capital, completed in October 2023 for approximately 40 billion Japanese yen, or about $275 million, which brought Moritex’s optics business and its subsidiary network into the group; and the divestiture, completed 1 April 2026, of a Japan-focused trading business that had been acquired as part of the Moritex deal, sold for approximately $11.9 million in a transaction the company described as immaterial to its ongoing operations.

Corporate-linkage information for Cognex Corporation is treated as full at the level of its own SEC-reported subsidiaries as of 31 December 2025, though ownership percentages for entities acquired or divested after that date, and any subsidiaries below the top reporting tier, are not separately confirmed.
