CESAN RAUL E 4

What Happened
Raul E. Cesan, an outside director of Gartner, Inc., was granted 187 Common Stock Equivalents (CSEs) on July 1, 2026 as director compensation under the Gartner Long-Term Incentive Plan. The grant is reported with a per-share grant value of $133.76 for a notional value of $25,013. The filing shows he elected an immediate distribution of the CSEs, which is reported via related acquisition/disposition entries at $0 (formal conversion/distribution mechanics).

Key Details

• Transaction date: July 1, 2026. Grant type: Award/Grant of derivative securities (CSEs). Reported grant value: 187 shares × $133.76 = $25,013.
• Additional reported entries: two “other acquisition/disposition (J)” line items for 187 shares at $0 reflecting the immediate distribution/conversion of the CSEs.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
• Footnotes: F1 — the reporting person elected immediate distribution of the CSE shares. F2 — CSEs are common stock equivalents granted under the LTIP that convert into common stock on termination or as otherwise provided; here an immediate distribution was elected.
• Filing timeliness: Form filed with accession date 2026-07-06 for a 2026-07-01 transaction; the filing does not indicate a late-report flag.

Context

• These CSEs are compensation for service as an outside director, not a market purchase or sale. Such awards are routine director compensation and are not direct statements of buy/sell market sentiment.
• Because the award was a derivative grant that was immediately distributed, the practical effect is the director received the underlying shares (or equivalent distribution) rather than exercising options or making a cash purchase.
