Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 7, 2021, Blink Charging Co., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Barclays Capital Inc., as representative of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), and certain selling stockholders named therein, relating to the underwritten public offering of 5,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a public offering price of $41.00 per share (the “Offering”). The Company expects to receive approximately $211.2 million in net proceeds from the Offering after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Offering is scheduled to close on January 12, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions. The Underwriters have the option to purchase up to an additional 260,000 shares of common stock from the Company and 550,000 shares of common stock from the Company’s chief executive and one other officer as selling stockholders at the public offering price, less the underwriting discount, within 30 days following the date of the final prospectus supplement. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares held by the selling stockholders.
The Offering is being made pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-251919) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on January 6, 2021, which became automatically effective, and the final prospectus supplement dated January 7, 2021, filed with the SEC under Rule 424(b)(5) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company. It also provides for customary indemnification by each of the Company and the Underwriters for losses or damages arising out of or in connection with the Offering.
The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01. A copy of the opinion of Olshan Frome Wolosky LLP, as legal counsel to the Company, relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the shares of common stock in the offering is attached hereto as Exhibit 5.1.
