    Explanatory Note.

    The Reporting Persons previously filed an original Schedule 13D in respect of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Beam Global, a Nevada corporation (the “Issuer”), on July 8, 2022 (the “Original Schedule 13D”). This Amendment No. 4 amends the Original Schedule 13D, as amended by Amendment No. 3 filed on May 22, 2023, Amendment No. 2 filed on February 23, 2023 and Amendment No. 1 filed on December 23, 2022 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”), and is being filed to reflect that the Reporting Persons now beneficially own 915,834 shares, which approximates to 6.434%, of Common Stock. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Original Schedule 13D. Except as set forth herein, the Original Schedule 13D is unmodified and remains in full force and effect. Each capitalized term used but not defined herein has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Original Schedule 13D.

    Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

    Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

    The information regarding the Transaction set forth in Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is incorporated into this Item 4 by reference.

    The Reporting Persons acquired the securities reported herein in connection with the Transaction. From May 22, 2023, to December 29, 2023, Townsend AC completed open market sales in which it disposed a total of 129,281 shares of Common Stock. The Reporting Persons hold such securities for investment purposes and intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Except as described in this Statement, the Reporting Persons do not have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, although, subject to the agreements described herein and various factors, including but not limited to the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, price levels of the Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets, various laws and regulations applicable to the Issuer and companies in its industry and the Reporting Persons’ ownership in the Issuer, and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons, at any time, and from time to time, may in the future take actions with respect to their position in the Issuer as they deem appropriate, including changing their current intentions, with respect to any or all matters required to be disclosed in this Statement. Without limiting the foregoing, and subject to the terms of the documents described above, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, acquire or cause affiliates to acquire additional shares of Common Stock or other securities in the Issuer, dispose, or cause affiliates to dispose, of some or all of the Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer or continue to hold, or cause affiliates to hold, Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer (or any combination or derivative thereof).

    In addition, without limitation, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with management, the board of directors, stockholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties or take other actions concerning any extraordinary corporate transaction (including but not limited to a merger, reorganization or liquidation) or business, operations, assets, strategy, future plans, prospects, corporate structure, board composition, management, capitalization, dividend policy, charter, bylaws, corporate documents, agreements, de-listing or de-registration of the Issuer.

    Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

    Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

    The information set forth in Items 2 and 3 of this Statement and the cover pages of this Statement is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.

    (a)—(b)

    As a result of certain matters described in this Statement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Act. However, neither the present filing nor anything contained herein shall be construed as an admission that all or any of the Reporting Persons constitute a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Act. As a member of a group, each Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own all of the Common Stock beneficially owned by the members of the group as a whole. The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 915,834 shares of Common Stock, which represents, in the aggregate, approximately 6.434% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock (based on 14,233,369 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Issuer (the “Common Stock”) outstanding as of December 22, 2023, reported in the issuer’s final prospectus to Form S-3 (File No. 333-272396) initially filed with the Commission on June 2, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the Commission on December 11, 2023 and declared effective on December 22, 2023).

    (c) Except as set forth on Appendix I to this Statement, no Reporting Person has effected any transaction in the Common Stock in the 60 days preceding the date hereof or since the filing of the Original Schedule 13D.

    (d) Except as set forth in this Statement, no Reporting Person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities described in this Statement.

    (e) Not applicable.
