3. BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

All Cell Technologies, LLC

 

On March 4, 2022, the Company acquired 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 $0.9 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 was: (i) two times the amount of energy storage products revenue and contracted backlog that is greater than $7.5 million for 2022, and is (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 Company issued 446,815 shares of stock valued at $7.05 million as payment for the 2022 Earnout Consideration.

 

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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 is as follows (in thousands):

     
Balance as of December 31, 2021  $– 
Acquisition of All Cell   1,251 
Change in estimated fair value   5,540 
Balance as of December 31, 2022  $6,791 
Issue earnout shares for 2022   (7,051)

Balance as of September 30, 2023  $1 

 

Amiga DOO Kralievo

 

On October 20, 2023, Beam acquired Amiga DOO Kraljevo (“Amiga”), pursuant to a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement dated October 6, 2023 (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among Beam and the owners of Amiga (the “Sellers”). Amiga, located in Serbia, is engaged in the manufacture and distribution of steel structures with integrated electronics, such as streetlights, cell towers, and ski lift towers. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Beam acquired all the equity stock of Amiga from the Sellers in exchange for cash and common stock. With respect to the cash portion of the purchase price, Beam paid to the Sellers EUR 4,550,000 at closing and will pay the Sellers EUR 2,450,000 on or before December 31, 2023. With respect to the equity portion of the purchase price, Beam issued to the Sellers 293,675 shares of our common stock and, on or before December 31, 2023, will issue to the Sellers an additional 158,132 shares of our common stock.

 

The Sellers are eligible to earn additional shares of our common stock if such Seller is providing services to Beam and Amiga meets certain revenue milestones for fiscal years 2024 and 2025 (the “Earnout Consideration”). The Earnout Consideration that Sellers are eligible to receive for 2024 is equal to two times the amount of revenue of Amiga (“Amiga Net Revenue”) that is greater than EUR 13,500,000 for 2024. The Earnout Consideration that Sellers are eligible to receive for 2025 is equal to (i) two times the amount of Amiga Net Revenue for 2025 that exceeds the greater of (i) EUR 18,225,000 or (ii) 135% of the Amiga Net Revenue for 2024. 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 an amount of our common stock that exceeds 19.99% of the total outstanding common stock of Beam immediately prior to the closing.

 

We expect the acquisition of Amiga to assist in introducing our products to Europe, 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.
