| Item 2.01. | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
On October 20, 2023, Beam Global (“Beam”) completed its previously announced acquisition of Amiga
DOO Kraljevo (“Amiga”), pursuant to a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement dated
October 6, 2023 (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among Beam and the owners of Amiga (the “Sellers”).
Amiga is a business located in Serbia and engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of steel
structures with electronic integration, such as streetlights, cell towers, and ski lift towers. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase
Agreement, Beam acquired all the equity stock of Amiga from the Sellers in exchange for cash and common stock. With respect to the cash
portion of the purchase price, Beam paid to the Sellers EUR 4,550,000 at closing and will pay the Sellers EUR 2,450,000 on or before
December 31, 2023. With respect to the equity portion of the purchase price, Beam issued to the Sellers 277,383 shares of our common stock
and, on or before December 31, 2023, will issue to the Sellers an additional 149,360 shares of our common stock.
The Sellers are eligible
to earn additional shares of our common stock if such Seller is providing services to Beam and Amiga meets certain revenue milestones
for fiscal years 2024 and 2025 (the “Earnout Consideration”). The Earnout Consideration that Sellers are eligible to receive
for 2024 is equal to two times the amount of revenue of Amiga (“Amiga Net Revenue”) that is greater than EUR 13,500,000 for
2024. The Earnout Consideration that Sellers are eligible to receive for 2025 is equal to (i) two times the amount of Amiga Net Revenue
for 2025 that exceeds the greater of (i) EUR 18,225,000 or (ii) 135% of the Amiga Net Revenue for 2024. The Earnout Consideration for
each period will be calculated based on the volume weighted average price of Beam’s common stock for the thirty trading days prior
to the end of the applicable measurement period. In no event and under no circumstances will the Sellers receive from Beam or will Beam
issue to the Sellers an amount of our common stock that exceeds 19.99% of the total outstanding common stock of Beam immediately prior
to the closing.
A copy of the Purchase
Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K by reference. The foregoing
description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of
the Purchase Agreement.
| Item 3.02. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities. |
The information set forth
in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The
issuance and sale of the shares of Beam common stock to the Sellers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will not be registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and were offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section
4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.

BEAM GLOBAL CLOSES
ACQUISITION OF EUROPE BASED AMIGA, CREATES BEAM EUROPE
Acquisition Marks Beam Global’s Entry
into European Market and Adds Significant Manufacturing, Engineering, and Sales and Marketing Resources
SAN DIEGO, CA – October
24, 2023 – Beam Global, (Nasdaq: BEEM, BEEMW) (“Beam Global” or the “Company”),
a leading provider of innovative sustainable products and technologies for electric vehicle (EV) charging, energy storage, energy
security and outdoor media, today announced the closing of the acquisition of Europe based Amiga DOO Kraljevo (“Amiga”), an
established manufacturer of specialized structures and equipment including street lights, communications and energy infrastructure, whose
manufacturing, engineering and sales teams serve municipalities, states and commercial customers in 16 nations.
Acquisition Expands Market Reach, Product Development and Capacity
Beam Global expects that the acquisition of Amiga which will be re-branded
as Beam Europe will fast track its growth into the European market. This market offers excellent opportunities for our off-grid, zero
construction/electrical work products because:
| · | the EU has mandated a transition to zero emission vehicles by 2035; |
| · | the EU is heavily focused on green and sustainable energy and has committed
to a net-zero energy infrastructure by 2050; |
| · | the war in Ukraine has focused the EU on energy security and home-grown renewable
sources; and |
| · | the historic aging of streets and infrastructure make it more complicated
to deploy grid-tied EV charging solutions than is the case in much of the United States. |
The Company believes that Beam Global’s current and future suite
of products are ideally suited for deployments in the EU because they require no construction or electrical work, are renewably energized
and do not rely on the utility grid for electricity. The Company also believes the acquisition will increase barriers to entry for future
competition and advance Beam Global’s position as a leader in the green economy.
“Beam Global’s team in the U.S. and in Europe has spent
eleven months in due diligence and negotiations to reach the closing of this excellent transaction,” said CEO of Beam Global Desmond
Wheatley. “I am confident that we have arrived at a deal which is well priced and structured to ensure that all key players remain
engaged and focused on the growth of Beam Europe. We intend to continue the growth of Amiga’s legacy business while aggressively
expanding sales in what I believe is the market with the greatest opportunities for our patented, renewably energized EV charging infrastructure
and energy storage products. Our new European team has 30 years of experience in manufacturing and selling to excellent customers in 16
nations – just the sort of customers who we believe will require EV charging infrastructure products in the coming months and years.
They are fully engaged and already enthusiastically working with our U.S based teams. I am impressed with the quality of education and
work ethic possessed by our Beam Europe team. We are entering a new and, in my opinion, most exciting era yet in the Beam Global story.”
Amiga to be Rebranded as Beam Europe
Amiga was founded in 1990, has approximately 210 employees and engineering,
product development and manufacturing capabilities, which Beam Global believes are ideally suited to perfect and manufacture the Company’s
current products for the European market. Amiga is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of street lights and is well positioned
to bring Beam Global’s patented EV Standard™ to market both in Europe and the U.S. Amiga’s team of qualified engineers
will be integrated with Beam Global’s current team, providing a valuable enhancement and acceleration of product development cycles
and a reduced requirement for Beam Global to add engineering headcount in the U.S.
Amiga reported over EUR 8.5M in revenue in 2022, generates positive
cash-flows and is growing organically. Beam Global expects the acquisition to be accretive and the Company is planning for significant
growth with Beam Europe’s combination of Amiga’s current business and Beam Global’s suite of clean-tech products.
According to Whichcar.com, Europe has approximately 405 million cars
compared to approximately 290 million in the U.S. and 319 million in China based on CEIC data. In June of 2022, the European Parliament
backed the European Commission’s proposal of zero emissions from new cars and vans by 2035. The EU has committed to reaching net-zero
emissions from energy infrastructure by 2050. Beam Global views expansion into the European market as a major opportunity for growth.
