In connection with the February 16, 2018 closing of Blink Charging Co.’s (the “Company”) underwritten registered offering (the “Public Offering”), and pursuant to obligations previously incurred by the Company, on April 9, 2018 (the “Issuance Date”) the Company issued a total of 1,703,429 five-year warrants to purchase shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) each with an exercise price of $4.25 per share to nine (9) individuals or entities (collectively the “Securities Issuance”). Details of the Securities Issuance are described below.

These securities were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), but qualified for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The securities were exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act because the issuance of such securities by the Company did not involve a “public offering,” as defined in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the transaction, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of securities offered. All of the securities were issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2).
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
The information provided in Item 3.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, under the heading “Securities Issuances to Certain Officers and Directors”, is incorporated herein by reference.

(“FGI”), agreed that upon the closing of the Public Offering, FGI would cancel 2,930,596 of its shares of Common Stock (of the 2,990,404 received in connection with a cashless exercise of warrants).
