Pay Versus Performance
As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information regarding the relationship between executive “compensation actually paid” (as defined by SEC rules) and certain aspects of our financial performance for each of the last three completed fiscal years. In determining the “compensation actually paid” to our NEOs, we are required to include various adjustments to amounts that have been reported in the Summary Compensation Table for 2024 and in previous years, as the SEC’s valuation methods for this section differ from those required in the Summary Compensation Table. The table below summarizes compensation values both reported in our Summary Compensation Table for 2024 and in previous years, as well as the adjusted values required in this section for the 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 calendar years.

Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote Dollar amounts reflect “compensation actually paid” for our CEO and average “compensation actually paid” for our non-CEO NEOs for each of the 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020 fiscal years. In determining the “compensation actually paid” to our NEOs, we are required by SEC rules to include various adjustments to amounts that have been reported in the Summary Compensation Table for 2024 and in previous years, as the SEC’s valuation methods for this section differ from those required in the Summary Compensation Table. Because none of our NEOs participated in any Company-sponsored defined benefit pension program in the covered years, we have not included any adjustments with respect to service cost or prior service cost for any pension plans. These amounts do not reflect the year-end executive pay decisions made by the MDCC as detailed in the “NEO Total Annual Compensation Summary” on page 62. For information regarding the decisions made by our MDCC in regard to our NEO’s compensation for each fiscal year, please see the Compensation Discussion and Analysis sections of the proxy statements reporting pay for the fiscal years covered in the table above, including the discussion beginning on page 56 of this Proxy Statement.

Equity Award Valuation Assumptions: BPIP award grant date fair values are calculated using the stock price as of the grant date assuming target performance. Adjustments to these values have been made using the stock price and projected vesting assumptions as of each subsequent measurement date, assuming actual performance relative to the applicable performance targets through the applicable measurement date and target performance for years in the performance period beyond the applicable measurement date (based on the award determination matrix for the BPIP award granted in the January following the applicable measurement date). RSU values represent fair values which are calculated using the stock price as of each measurement date. Stock options represent performance-based option awards with vesting contingent on the NEOs’ continued service and BlackRock’s achievement of a stock price hurdle and positive Organic Revenue Growth. Stock option fair values for measurement dates prior to when the price hurdle was achieved are calculated by a Monte Carlo simulation model with an embedded binomial lattice model, which accounts for the risk of non-achievement. For stock option fair values occurring after the achievement of the price hurdle, the values are calculated by a binomial lattice model only. The stock option binomial lattice modelling uses a consistent set of valuation inputs (including BlackRock stock price, volatility, and dividend rates, market risk free rate, and the options’ strike price and term) which have been updated as of each measurement date, as applicable.

The following table presents the most important financial performance measures that we use to link “compensation actually paid” (as defined by SEC rules) to our NEOs for 2024 to our performance. Performance outcomes for each measure are generally assessed in the context of external market conditions, and may be considered relative to industry performance or over variable time horizons. These measures are not ranked.

(2)Organic Revenue Growth is a measure of the estimated annual revenue impact of BlackRock’s total net new business in a given year, including net new technology services revenue, excluding the effect of market appreciation/(depreciation) and foreign exchange. Organic Revenue is not directly correlated with the actual revenue earned in a given year.
(3)We assess performance based in part on BlackRock’s 1-year, 3-year and 5-year Total Shareholder Return. Total Shareholder Return is defined as the change in stock price plus reinvested dividends, measured through December 31, 2024, then annualized.

Award Timing Disclosures [Line Items]  
Award Timing MNPI Disclosure
The MDCC approves annual equity awards at a meeting of the MDCC that is held at approximately the same time every year (during the first fiscal quarter). These annual equity awards are then issued with an effective grant date occurring shortly thereafter during an open trading window following the release of financial information. The MDCC may also approve equity awards outside of our annual grant cycle for new hires, promotions, recognition, retention or other purposes. In 2017 and 2023, the MDCC approved non-recurring long-term grants of performance-based stock options; we have not granted any stock options, SARs, or similar option-like instruments since May 2023.
All equity awards are granted under a shareholder-approved plan and stock options are granted at an exercise price at or above the closing market price of BlackRock common stock on the date of grant. Equity awards, including stock options, are not granted in anticipation of the release of material non-public information, and the release of material non-public information is not timed on the basis of equity or option grant dates or for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.
