Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Blink Charging Co. reports that Nasdaq has granted an additional 180-day period, until January 25, 2027, to regain compliance with the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

The extension follows an initial 180-day cure period that ended July 27, 2026. The company currently meets all other initial listing requirements and has indicated it may use a reverse stock split, if necessary, to address the deficiency. If the closing bid price reaches at least $1.00 for at least 10 consecutive business days during the new period, Nasdaq will confirm compliance; otherwise, Blink Charging may face delisting, with the right to appeal to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Nasdaq delisting risk remains if Blink Charging’s common stock does not reach and maintain a $1.00 bid price by January 25, 2027, after which Nasdaq staff may move to delist the shares.

Initial compliance period 180 calendar days Cure period ending July 27, 2026, following the January 26, 2026 notice
Second Compliance Period end date January 25, 2027 Deadline to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s Bid Price Rule
Trading days needed for compliance 10 consecutive business days Minimum period with closing bid at or above $1.00 per share
Possible extended monitoring window More than 10 but not more than 20 consecutive business days Period Nasdaq staff may require to confirm sustained compliance
Reverse split timing buffer 10 business days Latest a reverse stock split can be completed before period expiration
Bid Price Rule regulatory
"minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”)"
Nasdaq Capital Market regulatory
"initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Bid Price Rule"
The Nasdaq Capital Market is a platform where smaller, emerging companies can list their shares for trading by investors. It provides these companies with access to funding and visibility, helping them grow, much like a local marketplace where new vendors can introduce their products to potential customers. For investors, it offers opportunities to discover early-stage companies with growth potential.
reverse stock split financial
"its intention to cure the deficiency during the Second Compliance Period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary"
A reverse stock split reduces a company's number of outstanding shares while raising the price per share proportionally, so the total value of each investor's holding is unchanged; a 1-for-10 split turns 100 shares worth $1 each into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to regain compliance with an exchange's minimum price rule or to attract investors who avoid very low-priced stocks.
Nasdaq Hearings Panel regulatory
"the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel"
A Nasdaq hearings panel is a group of experts that reviews cases when a company's stock listing is at risk of being removed from the exchange. They evaluate whether the company has met certain standards and determine if it can keep trading on Nasdaq. This process matters to investors because it can affect a company's ability to raise money and maintain credibility in the market.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K

 

Blink Charging Co.

 

July 28, 2026

 

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

As previously disclosed, on January 26, 2026, Blink Charging Co. (the “Company”) received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the then-preceding 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided with an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until July 27, 2026, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.

 

On July 28, 2026, the Company received a second notice (the “Second Notice”) from Nasdaq indicating that, while the Company has not yet regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule, the Staff has determined that the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until January 25, 2027 (the “Second Compliance Period”), to regain compliance. According to the Second Notice, the Staff’s determination was based on (i) the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Bid Price Rule, and (ii) the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the Second Compliance Period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

 

If at any time during the Second Compliance Period, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance. The Staff may, in its discretion, require the Company to maintain a bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a period in excess of 10 consecutive business days, but generally no more than 20 consecutive business days, before determining that the Company has demonstrated an ability to maintain long-term compliance. If the Company chooses to implement a reverse stock split, it must complete the split no later than 10 business days prior to the expiration of the Second Compliance Period. If compliance cannot be demonstrated by January 25, 2027, the Staff will provide written notification that the Company’s securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance or otherwise maintain compliance with any of the other listing requirements.

 

The Company intends to continue to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
