*In light of the emerging public health concerns of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak, we may hold a Virtual Annual Meeting in lieu of a physical meeting in Stamford, Connecticut. If we decide to hold a Virtual Annual Meeting, we will announce it in a press release available at https://investor.gartner.com as soon as practicable prior to the Annual Meeting. In that event, the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders would be held in a virtual meeting format only, on the above date and time, via live audio webcast. Stockholders or their legal proxy holders could participate, submit questions, vote, and examine our stockholder list at the Virtual Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/IT2020 and using your 16-digit control number, but only if the meeting is held virtually and not in Stamford, Connecticut. As always, we encourage you to vote your shares prior to the Annual Meeting.
