Item 8.01

Other Events

The Cantu Share Purchase Agreement

As previously reported, on June 29, 2017, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “PV SPA”) with Pronto Verde A.G. (“Pronto Verde”), relating to the purchase of one hundred percent (50%) of the share capital of Energyeco S.r.l., a limited liability company organized under the laws of Italy, which owns and operates a 990 Kw plant for the production of electricity from vegetal oil located in Cantù, Italy. On November 27, 2017, we notified Pronto Verde that the PV SPA was terminated because (a) the deadline for consummation of the closing expired and no agreement to extend the deadline was granted by Blue Sphere, and (b) none of the specified conditions precedent had materialized. We also demanded the repayment of €150,000 (approximately USD $179,000) paid to escrow under the PV SPA, which is reimbursable should the closing not occur due to Pronto Verde’s breach or in the event that a condition precedent to closing does not materialize. We also reserved our right to unspecified damages incurred as a consequence of documented material representations made in connection with the PV SPA.

The Company continues to negotiate the purchase of Energyeco S.r.l., this time directly with its shareholders and not Pronto Verde, and has entered into a non-binding (except for customary exclusivity and confidentiality provisions) term sheet on more favorable terms and for a purchase price that is lower than was contemplated by the PV SPA.

The Udine GPOMA

As previously reported, on September 4, 2017, our indirect wholly-owned Italian subsidiary, Futuris Papia S.p.A. (“Futuris Papia”), which owns and operates a 995 Kw plant for the production of electricity from vegetal oil located in Udine, Italy (the “Udine Facility”), and Pronto Verde entered into a Guarantee Plant Operation Management Agreement (the “Udine GPOMA”). On November 27, 2017, we notified Pronto Verde that the Udine GPOMA was terminated because, in part, (a) Pronto Verde did not successfully engage the designated supplier to supply vegetal oil, and Futuris Papia was forced to procure vegetal oil from another supplier at a higher cost; (b) Pronto Verde and its operator did not diligently perform specified tasks under the Udine GPOMA, and Futuris Papia was forced to procure such services from another operator at a higher cost; and (c) due to a number of specified breaches by Pronto Verde to perform under the Udine GPOMA.

The Udine GPOMA concerned the performance of services for the operation and maintenance of the Udine Facility, including the supply of vegetal oil to the Udine Facility, and included Pronto Verde’s guarantee of a monthly EBITDA of €90,833.33 (approximately USD $110,000). As a consequence of the termination, Futuris Papia will no longer receive the guaranteed EBITDA from Pronto Verde. Presently, the Company forecasts a significantly lower monthly EBITDA from the Udine Facility; however, Futuris Papia is presently negotiating terms with third party providers in order to maximize the financial results at the Udine Facility. Notwithstanding, the Company can make no assurances that the Udine Facility will achieve the same level of monthly EBITDA as was guaranteed under the Udine GPOMA. We reserved our right to recover the damages incurred as a consequence of Pronto Verde’s documented material breaches made in connection with the Udine GPOMA.
