On June 28, 2018, Blink Charging Co. (the “Company”) provided notice to The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) that, effective June 30, 2018, the Company would no longer comply with NASDAQ’s independent director and audit committee requirements due to the resignation of Andrew Shapiro from the Company’s Board of Directors and Audit Committee. As previously disclosed, Mr. Shapiro resigned from the Board of Directors of the Company and its Audit Committee effective June 30, 2018, and the resulting vacancy on each of the Board of Directors and Audit Committee has not yet been filled. Mr. Shapiro was an “Independent Director,” as defined in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2). As a result, a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors and its Audit Committee is no longer comprised of Independent Directors as required by Listing Rule 5605.

On July 13, 2018, NASDAQ delivered a notice to the Company acknowledging the Company’s non-compliance with the NASDAQ independent director and audit committee requirements described above and advising that, in accordance with Listing Rules 5605(b)(1)(A) and 5605(c)(4), NASDAQ has provided the Company with a cure period in which to regain compliance therewith. As set forth in NASDAQ’s July 13, 2018 notice, the Company must regain compliance with Listing Rule 5605(b)(1) and Rule 5605(c)(4) by: (a) the earlier of the Company’s next annual stockholders’ meeting or June 30, 2019; or (b) if the next annual stockholders’ meeting is held before December 27, 2018, then the Company must evidence compliance no later than December 27, 2018.

The Company intends to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5605(b)(1) and Rule 5605(c)(4) on or before its next annual meeting of stockholders, which the Company intends to hold in September 2018.
