Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes
information that may constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current

to risks and uncertainties. A variety of factors could cause actual events and results, as well as the Company’s expectations,
to differ materially from those expressed in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements. These factors include, without
limitation, the risk that additional information may become known prior to the expected filing of information or financial statements
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Other risk factors affecting the Company are discussed in detail in the Company’s

Item 1.01
Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
Prior Related 8-K Filings
As reported by the Company on its Current
Report on Form 8-K filed on July 5, 2017, on June 29, 2017, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”)
with PRONTO VERDE A.G. (the “Seller”), relating to the purchase of one hundred percent (100%) of the share capital
of FUTURIS PAPIA S.r.l., a limited liability company organized under the laws of Italy (the “SPV”), which owns and
operates a 0.995 Kw plant for the production of electricity from vegetal oil located in Udine, Italy. The closing in relation to
the Udine SPV (the “Closing”) was to occur no later than July 15, 2017 (the “Closing Date”).
As reported by the Company on its Current
Report on Form 8-K filed on July 14, 2017, on July 12, 2017, Blue Sphere, the Seller and Bluesphere Italy S.r.l., an Italian limited
liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Blue Sphere, entered into an Amendment Agreement to the SPA (the “Amendment”,
together with the SPA, the “Purchase Agreement”) whereby Blue Sphere assigned all of its rights, titles or interests
arising out of the SPA to Bluesphere Italy S.r.l. The parties also agreed to change the Closing Date to July 31, 2017. In light
of the postponed Closing, the Amendment also provides for certain amendments and clarifications to related provisions, exhibits
and annexes to the SPA including, but not limited to, modifying the date of the SPV’s interim financial statements to be
used in the purchase price Closing adjustment from April 20, 2017 to June 30, 2017.
Current Amendments
On July 31, 2017, Blue Sphere, the Seller
and Bluesphere Italy S.r.l. entered into a Second Amendment Agreement to Share Purchase Agreement Dated as of June 29, 2017 (the
“Second Amendment”) whereby the following amendments were made to the Purchase Agreement: (i) the “Closing Date”,
as defined in the Purchase Agreement, was extended to September 4, 2017; (ii) in the event that Bluesphere Italy S.r.l. is unable
to perform pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, it shall be required to pay a “Default Penalty” as defined in the Purchase
Agreement, of €600,000 to Seller; (iii) in the event that Buyer does not pay the “Advance Payment”, as defined
in the Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement; and (iv) Buyer shall pay to Seller,
as an “Advance Payment”, within five (5) days of the effective date of the Second Amendment, an amount equal to €1,200,000,
as more fully described in the Second Amendment.
As a consequence of the Second Amendment,
Seller had to amend its Share Purchase Agreement with the actual SPV’s shareholders ( Futuris s.r.l and Segati Friuli S.r.l.)
regarding the acquisition of SPV by entering into a Third Amendment Agreement to Share Purchase Agreement dated June 29, 2017 (“Futuris
Amendment”). The Futuris Amendment provides that part of the consideration to be paid by Blue Sphere Italy S.r.l. to Seller
pursuant to the Second Amendment (i.e. part of the “Advance Payment”) equal to € 400,000 is to be remitted to
Futuris S.rl. under the Futuris Amendment as security deposit for completion of the transaction (the “Security Deposit”).
Accordingly, pursuant to the Futuris Amendment, Bluesphere Italy S.r.l. shall pay the Security Deposit directly to Futuris S.r.l.
requiring Bluesphere Italy S.r.l. and the Company, as guarantor, to be parties to the Futuris Amendment. Additionally, in the event
that Bluesphere Italy S.r.l. fails to consummate the transaction on or before the Closing Date, the Seller shall be entitled to
a Default Payment equal to €450,000.
The foregoing description of the Second
Amendment and the Futuris Amendment do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full
text of both documents as filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated
herein by reference.
