CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K
Blink Charging Co.
November 5, 2026
Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
Blink Charging Co. (Nasdaq: BLNK) (the “Company”), a leading owner and operator of electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment and services, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026 and updated its guidance for the fourth quarter and full-year 2026.
A copy of the press release is furnished with this report as Exhibit 99.1. Such information, including the Exhibit attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On November 3, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company appointed Michael Battaglia, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board, to serve as Chairman of the Board, effective immediately. Mr. Battaglia succeeds Ritsaart van Montfrans, who has served as Chairman of the Board since June 2023. Mr. Battaglia will continue to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and, in connection with his appointment as Chairman, will no longer hold the title of President.
Mr. van Montfrans will continue to serve as a member of the Board and has been appointed by the Board to serve as Lead Independent Director, effective immediately. As Lead Independent Director, Mr. van Montfrans will, among other things, preside over executive sessions of the independent directors and serve as a liaison between the independent directors and the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
The Board believes that combining the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer under Mr. Battaglia provides unified leadership and clear accountability for the execution of the Company’s strategy, while the Lead Independent Director role maintains strong independent oversight of management.
Mr. Battaglia will not receive separate compensation for his service as Chairman as only non-employee directors receive director compensation under the Company’s Board compensation plan, as modified most recently in May 2024. Mr. van Montfrans will continue to receive the same director compensation as the Board compensation plan provides for the same supplemental annual cash retainer in the amount of $30,000 for the positions of Chairman or lead independent director.
