Explanation of Responses:
1. On June 15, 2007, Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (the ?Company? or the ?Issuer?) granted to Norsk Hydro Produksjon AS ("Produksjon"), and Produksjon acquired from the Issuer, an option to acquire from the Issuer, and to require the Issuer to sell to Produksjon (the "Initial Warrants Call Option"), (i) a number of restricted, redeemable Class A public warrants otherwise identical to the publicly traded Class A public warrants of the Issuer, each of which entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock par value 0.0001 per share (each a "Share"), at an exercise price of $6.60 per Share (the "Class A Warrants"), that will result in Produksjon owning 23% of all issued and outstanding Class A Warrants immediately after such sale and purchase (the "Initial Class A Warrants") and (ii) a number of restricted, non-redeemable Class B public warrants otherwise identical to the publicly traded Class B
2. (footnote continued) public warrants of the Issuer, each of which entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $11.00 per Share (the "Class B Warrants"), that will result in Produksjon owning 23% of all issued and outstanding Class B Warrants immediately after such sale and purchase (the "Initial Class B Warrants", together with the Initial Class A Warrants, the ?Initial Warrants?). The Securities Purchase Agreement entered into by Produksjon and the Company on March 13, 2007, provides that if the Class A Warrants have been redeemed by the Company in accordance with their terms on or prior to the date of the acquisition of the Initial Warrants by Produksjon, the Company will issue to Produksjon, and Produksjon will purchase, accept and acquire from the Company, a number of Shares (the ?Initial Replacement Shares?), at a price per
3. (footnote continued) Share equal to the average of the closing bids for the Shares on Nasdaq during the five consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the trading day that is one day prior to the date of exercise of the Initial Warrants Call Option sufficient to ensure that Produksjon acquires the percentage ownership of the Company that it would otherwise have acquired had the Company not redeemed the Class A Warrants on or prior to such date. On August 13, 2007, Produksjon exercised the Initial Warrants Call Option, and on August 16, 2007, Produksjon exercised, purchased and acquired from the Company, 934,462 Initial Replacement Shares at $7.198 per Share,
4. which is equal to the average of the closing bids for the Shares on Nasdaq during the five consecutive trading days ending on (and including) August 10, 2007 and (ii) 1,965,690 Class B Warrants at $1.91 per Class B Warrant, which is equal to the average of the closing bids for the Class B Warrants on Nasdaq during the five consecutive trading days ending on (and including) August 10, 2007. The issuance, purchase and sale of the Initial Replacement Shares and the Initial Class B Warrants is hereinafter referred to as the "Initial Warrants Closing".
