CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K Blink Charging Co. (the “Company”) February 25, 2021

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On February 25, 2021, Brendan S. Jones, the Company’s current Chief Operating Officer, was appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors to assume the duties and additional position as the President of the Company. On February 25, 2021, Mr. Jones was also elected to become a member of the Board of Directors, increasing the Company’s Board to seven members.

For biographical information concerning Mr. Jones, see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 20, 2020. During the last two years, other than customary arrangements in connection with serving as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, there have been no transactions or proposed transactions by the Company in which Mr. Jones has had or is to have a direct or indirect material interest, and there are no family relationships between Mr. Jones and any of the Company’s executive officers or directors.

In connection with Mr. Jones’ appointment as President, the Board’s Compensation Committee granted to Mr. Jones stock options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $38.39 per share, the closing price of the Company’s shares on February 25, 2021.
