Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 19, 2023, Beam Global
(the “Company”), entered into an Underwriting Agreement, as amended and restated on June 20, 2023 (the “Underwriting
Agreement”), with Maxim Group LLC and Freedom Capital Markets (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed
to issue and sell to the Underwriters in an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) an aggregate of 2,663,044 shares
(the “Shares”) of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”). Each share of
Common Stock is being offered and sold to the public for a public offering price of $9.00 per share. Under
the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 45 days, to purchase an additional
399,456 shares of common stock. On June 21, 2023, the Underwriters exercised in full their option to purchase an additional 399,456 shares
of common stock.
The Company intends to use
approximately $7,500,000 of the net proceeds to fund the cash portion of the purchase price to acquire Amiga DOO Kraljevo and the remaining
net proceeds for working capital to fund business operations and the development of new products, and for other general corporate purposes,
including capital expenditures related to our growth. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $27.5 million before deducting
underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Offering closed on June 22, 2023, which
included the closing of the Underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 399,456 shares. Maxim Group LLC and Freedom Capital Markets
acted as the joint book-running managers of the Offering.
The Underwriting Agreement
contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants by the Company. It also provides for customary indemnification by each of
the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company
and its officers and directors have entered into “lock-up” agreements, subject to certain exceptions, with the Underwriters
that generally prohibit the sale, transfer, or other disposition of securities of the Company for a period of 120 days from the date of
the Underwriting Agreement.
The Offering was made pursuant
to the Company’s effective “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 and an accompanying prospectus (Registration No.
333-238701) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 26, 2020 and declared effective by the SEC
on June 4, 2020, as supplemented by the preliminary prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on June 16, 2023 and the final prospectus
supplement filed with the SEC on June 22, 2023.

Agreement is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description
of the material terms of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such

Agreement, including the representations and warranties contained therein, are not for the benefit of any party other than the parties

of affairs of the parties to that document. Rather, investors and the public should look to other disclosures contained in the Company’s
