3. BUSINESS COMBINATION

All Cell Technologies, LLC

On March 4, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of substantially all the assets of All Cell Technologies, LLC (“All Cell”), a leader in energy storage solutions. This acquisition has increased and diversified our Company’s revenue, intellectual property portfolio and customer base, and improved our gross profitability and manufacturing capabilities. The Company purchased substantially all of the assets and business of All Cell for 1,055,000 shares of our common stock (“Closing Consideration”) plus an additional $0.8 million in cash for the net working capital held by All Cell at closing.

In addition, All Cell is eligible to earn an additional number of shares of our common stock if the acquired energy storage business meets certain revenue milestones (the “Earnout Consideration”). The Earnout Consideration is: (i) two times the amount of energy storage products revenue and contracted backlog that is greater than $7.5 million for 2022, and (ii) two times the amount of energy storage products 2023 revenue which exceeds the greater of either $13.5 million or 135% of the 2022 cumulative revenue, capped at $20.0 million. Any revenues exceeding $20.0 million in 2023 will not be eligible for the Earnout Consideration. The maximum aggregate number of shares of our common stock that we will issue to All Cell for the Closing Consideration and Earnout Consideration will not exceed 1.8 million shares. Revenue from energy storage products used in Beam Global products will not be considered as contributing to revenue in the Earnout calculation.

The valuation of the Earnout Consideration was performed using a two-factor Monte Carlo simulation, which includes estimates and assumptions such as forecasted revenues of All Cell, volatility, discount rates, share price and the milestone settlement value. As such valuation includes the use of unobservable inputs, it is considered to be a Level 3 measurement. The fair value of the Earnout Consideration is reassessed on a quarterly basis with the change recorded to operating expenses. Change in the fair value of the Earnout Consideration during the year ended December 31, 2022 and the six months ended June 30, 2023 is as follows (in thousands):

Amiga DOO Kralievo

On June 12, 2023, the Company and the stockholders (the “Sellers”) of Amiga DOO Kraljevo, a Serbian Company that manufactures specialized structures and equipment (“Amiga”), executed a binding Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) for Beam to acquire all the equity stock of Amiga subject to customary closing conditions including but not limited to the full satisfaction of Beam of its due diligence of Amiga.

Amiga is a private, family-owned company, founded in 1990 in Kraljevo, Serbia. It employs approximately 210 employees, including a team of engineers. Its business includes, without limitation, production of (i) poles for public lighting; (ii) poles for mobile telephone, networks and transmission lines; (iii) poles for tram, trolleybus, and railways; (iv) poles for contact networks, masts, portals and semi-portals for road and railway signaling; (v) large steel lattice structures for specific purposes (e.g., stadiums, factories, power plants, etc.); and (vi) distribution and command electrical cabinets. Amiga currently has engineering, product development and manufacturing capabilities which we believe are well suited to manufacturing and perfecting Beam’s current products for the European market. Amiga is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of streetlights and Beam believes it is well positioned to bring Beam’s patented EV Standard™ to market both in the EU and USA. Amiga’s team of engineers will be integrated with Beam’s current team which Beam believes will provide a valuable enhancement and acceleration of product development cycles. Amiga has disclosed to Beam that it generated over EUR 8.5M in revenue in 2022 and had a gross profit during that period.

Amiga’s current customer list includes entities in 16 international nations which are similar to Beam’s current customers in the United States, creating what Beam believes will be a significant post-acquisition advantage in selling Beam’s products to an international customer base.

Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, Beam will acquire all the equity stock of Amiga from the Sellers in exchange for cash and Beam common stock as set forth below. With respect to the cash portion of the purchase price, Beam will pay to the Sellers, (i) EUR 4,550,000 at closing and (ii) EUR 2,450,000 on or before December 31, 2023 (assuming closing has occurred on or before such date). With respect to the equity portion of the purchase price, Beam will also issue to the Sellers a certain number of shares of Beam common stock (at a price per share equal to the volume weighted average price of Beam’s common stock for the five trading days prior to the closing): (i) at the closing, such number of shares of Beam common stock equal to an aggregate of EUR 1,950,000, and (ii) on or before December 31, 2023, such number of shares of Beam common stock equal to an aggregate of EUR 1,050,000. In addition, each of the Sellers are eligible to earn additional shares of Beam common stock if such Seller is providing services to Beam and Amiga meets certain revenue milestones for fiscal years 2023 and 2024 (the “Earnout Consideration”). The Earnout Consideration that Sellers are eligible to receive for 2023 is equal to two times the amount of net revenue of Amiga (“Amiga Net Revenue”) that is greater than EUR 10,000,000 for 2023. The Earnout Consideration that Sellers are eligible to receive for 2024 is equal to (i) two times the amount of Amiga Net Revenue for 2024 that exceeds the greater of (i) EUR 13,500,000 or (ii) 135% of the Amiga Net Revenue for 2023. 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 in connection with the Transaction Beam’s common stock in an amount that exceeds 19.99% of the outstanding common stock of Beam immediately prior to the closing. We expect the acquisition of Amiga to assist in introducing our products to the European Union, increasing and diversifying our revenues, enhancing our manufacturing and engineering capabilities, accelerating the development of EV Standard™ and other products both in Europe and the US, adding new customer segments in both Europe and the US, increasing barriers to entry for future competition, and advancing Beam’s position as a leader in the green economy.
