BLNK HOLDINGS TRANSFERS TO JMJ
In February 2018, prior to the closing of the Public Offering, Mr. Farkas reached an agreement with JMJ that, following the closing of the Public Offering, BLNK Holdings, an entity for which Mr. Farkas had voting power and investment power with regard to this entity’s holdings, would transfer 260,000 shares to JMJ as additional consideration for JMJ agreeing to waive its claims to $12 million as a mandatory default amount pursuant to previous agreements with the Company. This transfer took place on April 18, 2018. Prior to entering into this agreement, Mr. Farkas did not bring the matter to the entire Board for a vote. The fair value of $785,200 of the 260,000 shares of common stock that were to be transferred to JMJ by BLNK Holdings is reflected as interest expense on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2018 with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital.
In connection with Mr. Farkas relinquishing a claim that warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately 3,700,000 shares of common stock that were previously expired, exercised or exchanged should be replaced pursuant to his employment agreement with the Company, Mr. Farkas has requested the Board issue him 260,000 shares as reimbursement of the transfer to JMJ discussed in the previous paragraph. The Board does not believe it would be in the best interests of the Company or its shareholders to do so. As a result, the Company has not made any accrual for a settlement of this request as of March 31, 2018.

On April 16, 2018, Mr. Farkas returned 2,930,596 shares of common stock to the Company which were then retired.
On March 22, 2018, pursuant to a letter agreement dated December 7, 2017, the Company issued 26,500 shares of common stock to Mr. Feintuch as compensation with an issuance date fair value of $75,790. |
