GRABE WILLIAM O 4

What Happened
William O. Grabe, a director of Gartner, Inc. (IT), was granted 182 Common Stock Equivalents (CSEs) on 2026-07-01 under the company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan. The grant is reported at $133.76 per CSE, for a total grant value of $24,344. The filing also shows related zero-dollar acquisition/disposition entries on the same date associated with distribution/transfer mechanics. Grabe elected to receive an immediate distribution of the CSEs; the shares are associated with a grantor retained annuity trust (the “2025 GRAT”) created Aug 22, 2025, of which he is trustee.

Context
Common Stock Equivalents are derivative compensation that typically convert into actual shares upon a trigger (e.g., termination of director service) or as specified by the LTIP. This filing documents a compensation award and transfers associated with trust distribution — not an open-market purchase or sale — so it reflects routine director compensation and estate/holding-structure activity rather than a direct market bet.
