**BlackRock Nominates Gregory Fleming and Kathleen Murphy to Board of Directors**

On March 27, 2025, BlackRock, Inc. announced the nomination of Gregory J. Fleming and Kathleen Murphy for election as independent directors at the company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Gregory Fleming, currently CEO of Rockefeller Capital Management, has extensive leadership experience in investment banking and wealth management. He previously served on BlackRock’s board from 2006 to 2009 as a designee of Merrill Lynch.

Kathleen Murphy is the former President of Personal Investing at Fidelity Investments, where she served until 2021. She brings deep experience in retail investing, technology, and retirement planning, and also held senior roles at Voya Financial and Aetna.

BlackRock also announced that Marco Antonio Slim Domit will not stand for re-election. In addition, the Board's independent directors unanimously asked Murry S. Gerber to continue as Lead Independent Director for one more year, a request he has accepted. Gerber’s extended role comes during a period of significant business expansion for BlackRock, including the completed acquisitions of Global Infrastructure Partners and Preqin, and the announced acquisition of HPS Investment Partners.

Assuming all nominees are elected, BlackRock’s Board will consist of 18 directors, 15 of whom will be independent, including six new members added since 2020.
