Kranich Robin B 4

What Happened

• Robin B. Kranich, EVP & Chief Human Resources Officer of Gartner, received equity awards reported on a Form 4 dated Feb 9, 2026 for transactions on Feb 5, 2026. The filing shows two derivative grants: 3,212 performance-based restricted stock units (RSUs) and 17,466 stock appreciation rights (SARs). Both awards are recorded at $0.00 per share because they are grants/derivatives rather than purchases.

Key Details

• Transaction date: February 5, 2026; Form 4 filed: February 9, 2026 (filed within the normal two-business-day window).
• Award types and amounts: 3,212 performance-based RSUs (derivative) and 17,466 SARs (derivative). Both reported as granted (transaction code A).
• Price/value shown: $0.00 per share (standard for new equity grants; no cash paid by the insider).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the supplied filing details.
• Footnotes:
  • F1: The 3,212 RSUs were originally awarded Feb 6, 2025 and represent the amount after the performance metric was certified; they vest in four substantially equal annual installments beginning Feb 6, 2026.
  • F2: The 17,466 SARs become exercisable in four substantially equal annual installments beginning Feb 5, 2027.

Context

• These transactions are grants (not open‑market buys or sales). RSUs are rights to receive shares subject to vesting and performance conditions; SARs are derivatives that pay the holder the appreciation in share value (or equivalent) once exercisable. Grants like these are common components of executive compensation and do not by themselves indicate insider buying or selling sentiment.
