Key Details

• Transaction date: January 16, 2026; Form 4 filed January 21, 2026 (appears later than the typical two-business-day filing deadline).
• Grant: 214 RSUs; Form 4 shows $0 per share (award). Valuation basis: $1,170.18 per share (average of high and low on Jan 16, 2026); implied total ≈ $250,419.

• Footnote: RSUs were granted under the Third Amended and Restated BlackRock, Inc. 1999 Stock Award and Incentive Plan.

Context

• RSU grants to non-employee directors are a common form of compensation and do not by themselves indicate buying or selling intent. The award will convert to actual shares according to the vesting/settlement terms described above.
