• Charles Robbins, a member of BlackRock's Board of Directors, was granted 214 restricted stock units (RSUs) on 2026-01-16. The grant is reported as an award/acquisition (code A) at $0.00 per share because it is an equity award, not a cash purchase.
• The per-share value used to calculate the grant was $1,170.18 (the average of the high and low price on 2026-01-16), making the grant worth approximately $250,419 in total.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-01-16; Filing date (Form 4): 2026-01-21 (filed late relative to the typical 2-business-day Form 4 deadline).
• Transaction type/code: A (award/grant of RSUs); reported acquisition price: $0.00.
• Shares granted: 214 RSUs; implied grant value: ~ $250,419 (214 × $1,170.18).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
• Footnote: RSUs were granted to non-employee directors under BlackRock’s 1999 Stock Award and Incentive Plan. They vest upon the director’s election or re-election at the 2026 Annual Meeting and will be settled in shares on the third anniversary of the grant date unless the director elects earlier settlement (either lump sum or five annual installments).

Context

• This is an equity award to a director (compensation), not an open-market purchase or sale; such grants are routine for non-employee directors and reflect standard compensation practices rather than personal buying/selling decisions.
• The filing was submitted several days after the transaction date; late filings can draw regulatory attention but do not by themselves imply misconduct.
