01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. On August 30, 2024, Beam Global ("Beam") acquired Telcom d.o.o Beograd ("Telcom"), a business located in Serbia and engaged in the manufacturing of telecommunications equipment. Beam acquired Telcom pursuant to a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement dated as of August 30, 2024 (the "Agreement") with the owners (the "Sellers") of Telcom. Beam acquired all of the equity stock of Telcom from the Sellers in exchange for cash and Beam common stock. The total purchase price was subject to adjustment based on the amount of cash held by Telcom at closing. Based on Telcom's cash balance at closing equal to approximately EUR 220,298, Beam paid to the Sellers a purchase price equal to EUR 815,298.3636 which was paid to the Sellers as follows: (i) EUR 430,000 cash and (ii) issued 82,506 shares of Beam common stock to the Sellers. At the closing, Telcom had a positive working capital balance of approximately EUR 500,000 which consisted of (i) a cash balance equal to EUR 220,000, accounts receivables of approximately EUR 115,000, inventory of approximately EUR 275,000 and accounts payable of approximately EUR 110,000.

The Earnout Consideration that Sellers are eligible to receive for 2024 will be equal to the amount the net revenue of Telcom ("Telcom Net Revenue") exceeds EUR 850,000 for 2024 up to the Earnout Cap.
