Blink Charging Director van Montfrans Receives RSU Award

What Happened
Ritsaart J.M. van Montfrans, a director of Blink Charging Co. (BLNK), was granted 286,260 restricted stock units (RSUs) on 2026-06-30. The RSUs were granted at $0.00 (they represent contingent rights to shares). Following vesting, 97,165 shares were withheld on 2026-07-01 to satisfy tax withholding obligations at $0.61 per share, generating a withholding value of $59,271. The grant itself is an award (not a cash purchase); the withholding is a routine tax-related disposition.

Context
RSUs are a form of equity compensation that convert to shares upon vesting; the grant is not a market purchase and the withholding is not an open-market sale but a common cashless method to cover taxes. Such awards and subsequent withholding are routine for directors and do not, by themselves, indicate insider buying or selling sentiment.
