Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This Schedule 13D (this “Schedule 13D”) relates to the common stock, par value $0.005 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Envestnet, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 35 East Wacker Drive, Suite 2400, Chicago, Illinois.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

(a) This Schedule 13D is being filed by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock is a Delaware corporation that, through its subsidiaries, provides diversified investment management directly and indirectly through various investment products to institutions, intermediaries and individual investors. Investment management services primarily consist of the management of equity, fixed income, multi-asset class, alternative investment and cash management products. BlackRock, through its subsidiaries (the “Advisory Subsidiaries”), offers its investment products in a variety of accounts, including open-end and closed-end mutual funds, iShares^® exchange-traded funds, collective investment trusts and separate accounts. In addition, the Advisory Subsidiaries, provide market risk management, financial markets advisory and enterprise investment system services to a broad base of clients. Financial markets advisory services include valuation services relating to illiquid securities, dispositions and workout assignments (including long-term portfolio liquidation assignments), risk management and strategic planning and execution. The principal office and business address of BlackRock is 55 East 52nd Street, New York, NY 10055.

Certain of the securities reported herein include Common Stock held directly by BlackRock for its own account that were previously included in a statement on Schedule 13G filed by BlackRock on February 8, 2021. BlackRock did not acquire any beneficial ownership of Common Stock with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the Issuer or as a participant in any transaction having such purpose or effect, or in connection with any plan or proposal that would be subject to disclosure under Item 4 of Schedule 13D with respect to the Issuer. The Advisory Subsidiaries, as the investment advisers to certain client accounts, continue to hold Common Stock in their ordinary course of business, not with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the Issuer or as a participant in any transaction having such purpose or effect, and not in connection with any plan or proposal that would be subject to disclosure under Item 4 of Schedule 13D with respect to the Issuer. Therefore, this Schedule 13D should not be deemed to constitute an admission that BlackRock is required to file a Schedule 13D pursuant to Rule 13d-1 under the Act with respect to the Common Stock held directly by the Advisory Subsidiaries that act as the investment advisers to certain client accounts, however, BlackRock is voluntarily filing this Schedule with respect to all Common Stock beneficially owned by BlackRock.

(b) – (c) and (f) Current information concerning the identity and background of each of the executive officers and directors of BlackRock is set forth on Annex A (collectively, the “Covered Persons”), attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

(d) and (e) During the last five years, neither BlackRock, nor to the best of its knowledge, any Covered Person has been convicted in any criminal proceedings (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or, except as set forth in Annex B attached hereto, has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of which such person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Neither the present filing nor anything contained herein shall be construed as an admission that BlackRock constitutes a “person” for any purposes other than Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

As of May 20, 2021, BlackRock, in its role as the parent of the Adviser Subsidiaries in the capacity as investment advisers to certain client accounts, held beneficial ownership of 4,065,350 shares of Common Stock acquired prior to such date for an aggregate purchase price of $238,726,155.18. Such acquisitions were made for investment purposes with available funds of the applicable client accounts in the ordinary course of business of the Advisory Subsidiaries.

In addition, as previously disclosed, in December 2018, BlackRock for its own account acquired directly from the Issuer 2,355,816 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $52.13 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $122,808,688.08 (from BlackRock’s working capital balances) and a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 471,163 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $65.16 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The Warrant is exercisable at BlackRock’s option for four years from the date of issuance. The Warrant may be exercisable through cash exercise or net issue exercise, with cash settlement at the Issuer’s sole discretion.

Transactions made for investment purposes in the ordinary course of business of the Advisory Subsidiaries are undertaken solely for the benefit of the applicable client account and are independent from the strategic relationship with and investment in the Issuer made by BlackRock for its own account.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Other than the 2,355,816 shares of Common Stock acquired by BlackRock for its own account in 2018 in connection with the strategic relationship described below, all of the Common Stock of the Issuer was acquired for investment purposes by funds and accounts for which certain of the Advisory Subsidiaries act as investment advisers.

BlackRock does not have any present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) – (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

As previously disclosed, BlackRock and certain of its subsidiaries and the Issuer entered into a strategic relationship to enhance the investment technology solutions they provide to financial advisors and the clients they serve. Also as previously announced, in conjunction with the strategic relationship, BlackRock acquired the 2,355,816 shares of Common Stock and the Warrant for its own account. BlackRock reviews its strategic relationship with, and investment in, the Issuer on a continuing basis. BlackRock has engaged, and may in the future further engage, in discussions with management, the board of directors, other shareholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties on various matters related to the Issuer and BlackRock’s investment in the Issuer, including matters related to the business, management, operations, assets, strategy and future plans of the Issuer and BlackRock. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of any of such discussions. These discussions, however, may at any time and from time to time include proposing, considering or negotiating conditional terms of (a) acquiring additional securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to in connection with corporate control transactions, or disposing of all or a portion of the Common Stock or the Warrant, through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, amendments to its agreements with the Issuer, or otherwise, (b) extending, enhancing, or modifying BlackRock’s strategic relationship with the Issuer by, among other things, entering into commercial agreements and relationships in connection therewith, or (c) to take any other available course of action, including one or more of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) – (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. In reaching any decision as to its course of any action (as well as the specific elements thereof), BlackRock currently expects that it would take into consideration a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the following: the Issuer’s business, strategy and prospects; other developments concerning the Issuer and its businesses generally; other business opportunities available to BlackRock; changes in law and government regulations; general economic conditions; financial and stock market conditions, including the market price of the securities of the Issuer.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The information set forth in Item 4 is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer and BlackRock have a number of commercial agreements in connection with the strategic relationship discussed above.

On December 20, 2018, BlackRock and the Issuer entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) providing BlackRock or its designee with certain customary registration rights with respect to 2,355,816 shares of Common Stock and the shares underlying the Warrant. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, BlackRock or its designee is entitled to certain customary demand registration, shelf takedown and piggyback registration rights, subject to certain customary limitations (including with respect to minimum offering size and maximum number of demands and underwritten shelf takedowns).

The above description of the Registration Rights Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.

Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships between BlackRock and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer or among the Advisory Subsidiaries, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any securities of the Issuer, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies (other than the transfer of voting rights with respect to shares of Common Stock that are loaned out in the ordinary course of BlackRock’s and its subsidiaries’ securities lending programs).
