Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-05; Form 4 filed: 2026-02-09 (filed within the usual 2-business-day window).
• Awards: 17,466 RSUs and 3,212 SARs; both reported at $0.00 (no cash purchase).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided excerpt of the filing.
• Footnotes of the filing:
  • F1: The 17,466 RSUs are performance-based awards originally granted 2025-02-06; they vest in four substantially equal annual installments beginning 2026-02-06. The reported amount reflects the RSUs after the performance metric was certified.
  • F2: The 3,212 SARs become exercisable in four substantially equal annual installments beginning 2027-02-05.
• Transaction code: A = Award/Grant (derivative awards).

Context

• RSUs are promises to deliver shares (or cash equivalent) on vesting; SARs provide value based on the share price appreciation when exercised. Neither award is an open-market buy or sale—these are compensation grants and do not directly signal a purchase of shares by the insider.
• The economic value of these grants depends on Gartner's future stock price and the awards’ vesting/exercise schedule.
