Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Private Placement Offering of Common Stock

On August 2, 2021, Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (“Common Stock SPA”) with BD 1 Investment Holding, LLC, (“Investor”), a significant existing stakeholder in the Company, for the private placement of an aggregate of 666,666,672 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”) at a fixed price of $0.015 per share.

The Company will sell the Shares in two tranches. Each tranche will be for 333,333,336 shares in exchange for $5,000,000.04 of gross proceeds.

The first tranche is expected to close on or before August 31, 2021.

The second tranche is expected to close (i) on or before October 31, 2021 (if the Company has sufficient authorized but unissued Common Stock to issue all of the second tranche shares) or (ii) within five business days of the effective date of an authorized share increase to be filed by the Company.

In the Common Stock SPA, the Company has agreed to use all commercially reasonable best efforts to effectuate, as soon as reasonably practical after the first tranche closing, an increase in the Company’s authorized shares of at least 10 billion additional shares of Common Stock.

The proceeds of the offering of the Shares will be used for the Company’s general corporate purposes.

There are no registration rights applicable to the Shares.
