BRESSLER RICHARD J 4

What Happened
Richard J. Bressler, a Gartner, Inc. outside director, was granted 196 common stock equivalents (CSEs) on July 1, 2026. The award is reported as a derivative acquisition valued at $133.76 per share, for a total grant value of $26,217. This was a compensation award (not an open-market purchase or sale).

Key Details

• Transaction date and price: 2026-07-01, 196 CSEs at $133.76 each. Total value reported: $26,217.
• Transaction type: Award/Grant (code A) — derivative securities (CSEs), not immediate shares.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed in the filing.
• Footnote: The CSEs were granted under the Gartner, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). The CSEs convert into Gartner common stock when the outside director’s continuous service terminates, or as otherwise provided under the LTIP.
• Filing timeliness: The Form 4 was filed on 2026-07-06 for a 2026-07-01 transaction (filed 5 days later), which appears to be a late filing.

Context
Common stock equivalents are a form of deferred/director compensation and do not represent immediate open-market buying or selling—conversion to actual shares typically occurs upon termination of service (or per plan rules). Such awards are routine for outside directors and are generally viewed as compensation rather than a direct signal about the director’s short-term market view.
