GRABE WILLIAM O 4

What Happened

• William O. Grabe, a Gartner, Inc. (IT) outside director, was granted 157 Common Stock Equivalents (CSEs) under the Gartner Long‑Term Incentive Plan on 2026-04-01. The grant is reported at $154.79 per share, with a total grant value of approximately $24,302.
• The filing shows related bookkeeping entries (code J) reflecting a $0.00 acquisition and a $0.00 disposition for the same 157 shares; footnotes explain he elected to receive an immediate distribution of the CSEs and the shares are associated with a grantor retained annuity trust (the "2025 GRAT") of which he is trustee.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-04-01; Form 4 filed: 2026-04-03 (timely reporting).
• Grant: 157 CSEs at $154.79 each — total reported value ≈ $24,302 (transaction code A — award/grant).
• Additional entries: two code J entries at $0.00 reflecting distribution/recordkeeping of those shares.
• Post-transaction beneficial ownership: not specified in the provided excerpt.
• Footnotes: F1 — elected immediate distribution of CSEs; F2 — these shares are held in the 2025 GRAT for his and his children’s benefit; F3 — CSEs are director compensation under the LTIP and convert to common stock per LTIP terms.

Context

• These were director compensation CSEs, not an open‑market purchase or sale; grants and distributions to directors are common and do not necessarily signal a buy/sell decision.
• CSEs are derivative awards that convert into common stock per plan rules (often on termination or as otherwise provided); here the reporting person elected immediate distribution, which is reflected in the filing.
