19 Maio 2025 - 9:05AM
Blink Charging Co. (NASDAQ: BLNK) (“Blink” or the “Company”), a
leading global owner, operator, provider, and manufacturer of
electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment and services, today
announced a strategic restructuring plan designed to accelerate its
BlinkForward objectives, enhance operational efficiencies, and
position the Company for sustained long-term growth and
profitability in the evolving global market.
The core of this plan includes a difficult but
necessary reduction of the Company’s global workforce by
approximately 20%. This action is designed to streamline
operations, enhance agility, and align resources with the Company’s
BlinkForward strategic priorities. These adjustments are
anticipated to result in annualized savings of more than $11
million. The Company estimates it will incur between $1 million and
$1.5 million of related costs, consisting of cash severance, other
severance benefits, and other related restructuring costs. The
workforce reduction is expected to be completed by the end of
3Q25.
The BlinkForward initiative represents Blink's
commitment to innovation, efficiency, and a resilient future. By
realigning its operational structure, the Company is taking
decisive steps to build a more focused and agile organization,
capable of rapidly responding to market dynamics and capitalizing
on future growth opportunities. These measures are specifically
designed to advance the BlinkForward vision, which prioritizes
sustainable innovation, customer-centric solutions, and enhanced
shareholder value.
"Today’s decisions, while challenging, are
crucial for propelling our BlinkForward strategy and ensuring the
long-term success of Blink," said Mike Battaglia, Blink’s President
& CEO. "We are deeply grateful for the contributions of our
departing colleagues and are committed to supporting them through
this transition. This restructuring is a proactive step to build a
more efficient and robust organization, better aligned with our
strategic goals and poised to lead in the next phase of our
growth.”
Blink Charging is committed to ensuring a
seamless transition and will provide severance packages,
outplacement services, and other forms of support to eligible
affected employees.
“We are confident that this strategic
realignment, under the banner of the BlinkForward initiative, will
strengthen our competitive positioning, improve financial
performance, and create a solid foundation for future innovation
and market leadership,” added Battaglia.
