01. Entry Into

Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement. Background: As previously disclosed, on December 19, 2022, Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Securities Purchase Contract (the "Purchase Contract") with two institutional investors (the "Investors"). Pursuant to the Purchase Contract, the Company issued to the Investors certain common stock warrants (the "Warrants"). The Warrants have certain "full ratchet" anti-dilution adjustments that are triggered when the Company issues securities with a purchase or conversion, exercise or exchange price that is less than the exercise price of the Warrants then in effect at any time. Under the full ratchet anti-dilution adjustments, if the Company issues new securities at a price lower than the then applicable exercise price, (i) the exercise price is reduced to the lower new issue price and (ii) the number of warrant shares is proportionately increased. The Warrants have been previously adjusted following past issuances of Company securities. Currently there are 5,596,232 Warrants exercisable at an exercise price of $1.765. As previously disclosed, on March 6, 2024 and March 7, 2024, the Company entered into Warrant Repurchase Agreements (the "Repurchase Agreements"), with each of the Investors. Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreements, if the Company closes a new capital raising transaction with gross proceeds in excess of $5 million ("Qualified Financing"), the Company will repurchase the Warrants from the Investors for an aggregate purchase price of $3.6 million. Following the delivery of the purchase price to the Investors, the Investors will relinquish all rights, title and interest in the Warrants and assign the same to the Company, and the Warrants will be cancelled. Amendments to Warrant Repurchase Agreements: On April 12, 2024, the Company entered into Amended and Restated Warrant Repurchase Agreements (the "Amendments") with each of the Investors.
