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

"accrued under the BlackRock Deferred Compensation Plan."

deferral period financial

"at the deferral period chosen by the reporting person."
