Neutral Impact 4 of 5 leadership Written later

Cohen & Steers said Chief Financial Officer Raja Dakkuri will resign effective October 17, 2025, after securing another opportunity, and that the resignation was not due to any disagreement with the company. Controller Michael Donohue will become interim CFO on that date while keeping his controller role, and the company has started a search for a permanent successor. The filing does not report any financial results, but the change in the finance leadership team is relevant to shareholders.
