Gartner CEO Eugene Hall Exercises RSUs; Shares Withheld for Taxes
What Happened
Eugene A. Hall, Gartner's Chairman and CEO, had restricted stock units (RSUs) vest and convert into common shares on Feb 9, 2026. Two RSU installments converted one-for-one into a total of 16,729 shares (9,195 and 7,534). To cover withholding obligations, 6,682 of those shares (3,673 and 3,009) were surrendered at $159.75 per share, generating tax withholding values of $586,762 and $480,688 (total ≈ $1,067,450). The remaining 10,047 shares were retained by Hall. These entries are RSU vesting/conversion and tax-withholding actions (not open-market sales).

Context
- This was a routine vesting of RSUs and a cashless-type settlement to cover withholding — common and administrative in nature, not an open-market sale.
- Such transactions are generally not a direct signal of the insider’s view on the stock; purchases or open-market sales provide clearer trading signals.
- The filing shows conversion of derivative awards (RSUs) and share-withholding for taxes, which is standard practice on vesting dates.
