Gartner Announces Pricing of its $800 Million 3.750% Senior Notes due 2030

Gartner, Inc. (NYSE:IT) (“Gartner,” “we” or “our”) announced the pricing of its offering of $800 million 3.750% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “New Notes”). Subject to customary closing conditions, Gartner anticipates that the offering of the New Notes will be completed on September 28, 2020 and expects to receive net proceeds of approximately $792 million. Gartner intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the New Notes, together with cash on hand, to (i) redeem all $800 million of its 5.125% senior notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), and (ii) pay related fees and expenses. There can be no assurance that the proposed offering of the New Notes will be completed.

The New Notes will be sold only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States only to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The New Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

Gartner also announced that it has given notice of its intention to redeem all of the outstanding $800 million principal amount of its 2025 Notes (CUSIP Numbers 366651AB3 and U33791AA9) on September 28, 2020 (the “Redemption Date”). The 2025 Notes will be redeemed at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) currently estimated to be 103.844% of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

Gartner has instructed U.S. Bank, National Association, as the trustee for the 2025 Notes (the “Trustee”), to distribute a notice of redemption to all registered holders of the 2025 Notes on September 14, 2020. Copies of such Notice of Redemption and additional information relating to the procedure for redemption of the 2025 Notes may be obtained from U.S. Bank, National Association by calling (651) 466-7150.

The Redemption is conditioned upon the consummation of the offering of the New Notes, contemporaneously with or prior to the Redemption Date (the “Condition”); provided that if the offering of the New Notes is not completed contemporaneously with or prior to the Redemption Date, the Company may from time to time delay the Redemption Date until the Condition has been met or rescind the redemption if the Condition has not been met by the Redemption Date or by the Redemption Date as so delayed, and in those circumstances the Company will issue one or more supplemental notices to Holders (as defined in the indenture for the 2025 Notes) of the 2025 Notes delaying the Redemption Date to a date not more than 60 days from the date of such supplemental notice or rescinding this notice of redemption.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any of the New Notes or the 2025 Notes, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
