<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On October 30, 2014, Acorn Energy, Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;)
entered in a Placement Agent Agreement with Maxim Group LLC pursuant to which Maxim agreed to act as the Company&rsquo;s exclusive
placement agent in connection with a proposed private placement of shares of the Company&rsquo;s common stock and warrants exercisable

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On October 31, 2014, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase

in connection with a private placement of its securities to certain accredited investors (the &ldquo;Private Placement&rdquo;)

closing bid price of the Company&rsquo;s common stock on Nasdaq on October 30, 2014 was $1.26.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is
obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 30 days covering the possible resale
from time to time in the future of the shares of common stock and shares of common stock underlying the warrants sold in the Private
Placement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The closing of the Private Placement occurred on November 5,
2014, at which time the Company received the net proceeds and issued the shares and warrants described above. At the closing, pursuant
to the terms of the Placement Agent Agreement, Maxim received a cash fee equal to 8.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds received
from the investors in the Private Placement and five-year warrants to purchase 214,285 shares of the Company&rsquo;s common stock,
representing 5.0% of the number of shares sold in the Private Placement, at an exercise price of $1.26 per share. Maxim&rsquo;s
warrants are non-exercisable for six months from the date of the closing.</P>

Each of the investors represented that it is an accredited investor, as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, and that it was acquiring
the securities for its own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof
in violation of the Securities Act.</P>
