On September 5, 2019,
BioHiTech Global, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”)
with certain investors (the “Purchasers”), for a registered direct offering (the “Offering”) of 1,750,000
shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”)
at the purchase price of $1.80 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $3,150,000. The closing of the Offering is expected
to occur on September 9, 2019.
The offer and sale
of the Securities in the registered direct offering is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-225999), which
became effective on July 11, 2018. Pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, the Company has filed a prospectus supplement
in connection with such offering.
In connection with
the Offering, the Company engaged Spartan Capital Securities, LLC (the “Placement Agent”), to act as its placement
agent. The Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent, in addition to out-of-pocket expenses, up to a maximum of $100,000, (i) a
cash placement fee equal to 7% of the aggregate purchase price for the securities sold in the registered offering by Purchasers
introduced to the Company by the Placement Agent, (ii) a cash fee equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from
the sale of Common Stock to investors introduced to the Placement Agent by the Company; and (iii) a number of warrants (the “Placement
Agent Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds in the registered offering, at an
exercise price of $2.25, or 125% of the public offering price per share in the registered offering. The Placement Agent Warrants
shall not be exercisable or transferable for six months from the date of issuance, and further, the number of Shares underlying
the Compensation Warrants shall be reduced if necessary to comply with FINRA rules or regulations.
The foregoing is only a summary of the material terms of the documents related to the Offering. The foregoing
description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit
10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the agreement
with the Placement Agent is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Placement Agent Agreement dated September 5, 2019 (the

8-K which is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Placement Agent Warrants is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the Common Stock Purchase Warrant, a form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K,
which is incorporated herein by reference.
