(NYSE: IT), the leading provider of research and analysis on the global information technology industry, today announced that Silver Lake and its affiliates will sell approximately 8 million shares of Gartner stock, which represents Silver Lake's entire holdings of Gartner stock, in a registered public offering underwritten by Goldman, Sachs & Co. Silver Lake invested in Gartner through its first fund, which was formed in 1999. That fund had a term of ten years, which was extended for an extra year, and Gartner is one of the last remaining investments in that fund. Since the fund is nearing the end of its term, Silver Lake is exiting this investment as a natural part of its investment cycle.
