BlackRock, Inc. has filed Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13G revealing a 5,950,909-share position in Artivion, Inc. (AORT) as of 30 June 2025. The stake equals 13.9 % of the outstanding common stock, giving BlackRock sole voting authority over 5,884,199 shares and sole dispositive authority over all 5,950,909 shares; no shared authority is reported.
The disclosure is made pursuant to Rule 13d-1(b) with BlackRock classified as a parent holding company/control person (HC).
