Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. 4

Patrick Murphy Gallagher, COO of Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. (AJG), reported a gift of 49,988 shares of common stock to an irrevocable trust on September 8, 2026.

On September 8, 2026, Patrick Murphy Gallagher, Chief Operating Officer of Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., reported a Form 4 transaction coded as a gift (“G”) of 49,988 shares of common stock into an irrevocable trust for the benefit of himself and his siblings, for which he acts as trustee. The transaction is classified by the issuer as indirectly owned (“I – By Trust”), and the filer expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the trust’s shares except to the extent of his pecuniary interest. Using the reported transaction value of $148,093.25, the implied per-share value of the gifted stock is very low relative to the current market price, indicating the Form 4 amount reflects an internal or historical valuation rather than the current trading price. Following this gift, the filing lists multiple indirect holdings across family trusts, a 401(k) plan account, phantom stock, notional stock units, and several outstanding non-qualified stock option grants, underscoring that the transaction is a wealth- and estate-planning transfer rather than an open‑market trade, and does not signal a change in the COO’s direct economic exposure to Arthur J. Gallagher & Co.
