Rhea-AI Filing Summary

BlackRock, Inc. General Counsel and CLO Christopher J. Meade reported a stock-based compensation grant in the form of Restricted Stock Units. On 01/16/2026, he was awarded 2,500 shares of Common Stock, recorded at a price of $0 per share on the Form 4 because this is an equity award rather than a market purchase.
