THORNTON, CO, Aug. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NewMediaWire – Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (OTCMKTS: ASTI), a developer and manufacturer of state-of-the-art, lightweight and flexible thin-film photovoltaic (PV) solutions (“Ascent Solar”, “Ascent” or the “Company”), announced today that the Company’s shares of common stock have been approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”). The Nasdaq listing is conditioned upon the closing of the Company’s previously announced $5 million private placement (the “Private Placement”) pursuant to the securities purchase agreement (“SPA”) as stated in the Company’s 8-K filing with the SEC on August 8, 2022.

The closing of the Private Placement is expected to occur before August 24, 2022. The Company expects that its shares of common stock will begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market shortly after the closing of the Private Placement.

Management Comments:

“I am excited with the listing approval from Nasdaq and the vote of confidence from the Private Placement investors,” said Mr. Victor Lee, President and CEO of Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. “The Private Placement and the uplisting to Nasdaq are important steps to completing the Company’s turnaround and will enable broader market participation,” continued Mr. Lee.

“The Private Placement and Nasdaq listing approval enable Ascent to continue to execute on its plans, and I am thrilled at this step forward,” said Michael Gilbreth, CFO of Ascent Solar. “The Company continues to make progress on its goals, and this investment reflects continued support and trust by our investors.”

Mr. Lee concluded, “The capital investment and Nasdaq listing position Ascent to improve its production capabilities which is necessary to meet increased demand for its products. This is yet another major milestone for the Company after being dormant for most of 2020 caused by various challenges including limited financial resources. Since October 2020, the Ascent team has reconstituted and demonstrated great resiliency in ramping up production. The Company is now fully operational and stands ready to build on the strength of what we have achieved in 2021 and the first half of 2022, both financially and operationally.”
