Performance Rights financial

"The Performance Rights were accrued under the BlackRock Deferred Compensation Plan."

Performance rights are conditional awards that give employees or executives the promise of receiving company shares or cash only if the business meets specific targets or survives for a set period. They work like a bonus you only get when certain goals are hit, so they matter to investors because they can increase the number of shares outstanding (dilution), signal management’s incentives and confidence in future results, and affect per-share earnings and valuation.

BlackRock Deferred Compensation Plan financial

"The Performance Rights were accrued under the BlackRock Deferred Compensation Plan."

cash value financial

"One Performance Right is convertible into the cash value of one share of BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust."

Cash value is the amount of money you could get right away if an asset or contract were converted to cash or surrendered, after any fees or penalties. Think of it like the cash you could pull out of a savings jar when you need it; for investors it signals how much immediate liquidity or recoverable worth exists in an investment, insurance policy, or balance-sheet item.

deferral period financial

"The Performance Rights are to be settled 100% in cash at the deferral period chosen by the reporting person."
