BlackRock, Inc. Reports Adoption of Executive Carry Program
Summary
On January 13, 2026, BlackRock, Inc.'s Management Development and Compensation Committee adopted the Executive Carry Program (ECP). This program makes selected senior executives (excluding the CEO) eligible for awards representing a percentage of carry distributions from BlackRock's flagship private markets investment funds. These awards are described as "at-risk, long-term, performance-based payments" (via Item 5.02) and represent "a portion of the carried interest" (via Ex. 10.1). BlackRock expects to identify participants and grant awards under the ECP beginning in 2026.
Why It Matters
The adoption of the ECP is a material update to executive compensation, aligning the long-term interests of senior executives with the performance of BlackRock's private markets platform. This initiative is expected to support future fundraising and organic growth, thereby impacting long-term shareholder value and strengthening talent retention in a strategically important business segment.
