BlackRock CEO Laurence Fink Sells Shares & Receives RSU Award

What Happened

Laurence D. Fink, Chairman and CEO of BlackRock (BLK), had 14,401 shares withheld on Jan 30, 2026 to satisfy tax obligations (disposed) at $1,118.94 per share, totaling $16,113,855. The next day (Jan 31, 2026) he was granted/awarded 19,914 shares (Restricted Stock Units) with a reported acquisition value of $0.00 (award).
This was not an open-market sale but a company withholding of shares to cover tax liabilities related to awards; the grant is a compensation award (RSUs) rather than a purchase.

Context

This was effectively a cashless tax-withholding (company held shares to satisfy tax obligations), not an open-market sale; such withholdings are routine following vesting and do not necessarily indicate a decision to reduce exposure to the stock.
The 19,914-unit item is a compensation award (RSUs) that vests over time per the plan; RSUs convert to shares when they vest and are payable solely in shares per the footnote.
