Court-approved settlement ends derivative suits and removes overhang.

The Nevada court’s final judgment approves a settlement that dismisses the derivative action with prejudice and mandates performance of agreed terms. That outcome, paired with mutual releases, closes the primary case and defines the resolution framework.

The judgment states there is no admission of wrongdoing or liability and that parties bear their own costs except as otherwise provided. A key procedural step remains: plaintiffs must submit a voluntary dismissal with prejudice of the related Florida action by December 2, 2025.

With the Nevada approval in place, the remaining milestone is the Florida dismissal filing. Subsequent company disclosures may note completion of that step and any cost allocations provided by the settlement.

CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K

Blink Charging Co. (the “Company”)

October 29, 2025

Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously reported by the Company in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 2, 2025, the Clark County, Nevada District Court (the “Court”) granted preliminary approval of the proposed settlement of the derivative action captioned McCauley (derivatively on behalf of Blink Charging Co.) v. Farkas, et al., Case No. A-22-847894-C (the “Nevada Action”) on August 15, 2025. Subject to final approval by the Court, and in exchange for a release of all claims by the plaintiffs, the proposed settlement required a comprehensive release and dismissal with prejudice of the Nevada Action and a related consolidated derivative action filed in Miami Dade County, Florida Circuit Court captioned In re Blink Charging Company Stockholder Derivative Litigation, Lead Case No. 2020-019815-CA-01 (the “Florida Action”) (together, the “Derivative Litigation”).

On October 29, 2025, the Court entered a final order and judgment approving the settlement of the Nevada Action. The Court found the settlement fair, reasonable and adequate, dismissed the action and all related claims with prejudice and ordered the parties to perform the settlement’s terms. The judgment provides for mutual releases of all claims by and among the parties, confirms that the settlement and related acts do not constitute an admission of wrongdoing or liability by any defendant or by the Company, and states that the parties will bear their own costs except as otherwise provided in the settlement. Pursuant to the settlement, plaintiffs are obligated to submit a notice of voluntary dismissal with prejudice of the Florida Action by December 2, 2025.

The judgment results in the resolution of the Derivative Litigation against current and former Company officers and directors without any admission of liability and eliminates further litigation risk relating to the released claims, subject only to the court’s continuing jurisdiction to enforce the settlement.
