ORGANIZATION	NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (the “Company") is focusing on integrating its photovoltaic ("PV") products into scalable and high value markets such as agrivoltaics, aerospace, satellites, near earth orbiting vehicles, and fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicles (“UAV”). The value proposition of Ascent’s proprietary solar technology not only aligns with the needs of customers in these industries, but also overcomes many of the obstacles other solar technologies face in these unique markets. Ascent has the capability to design and develop finished products for end users in these areas as well as collaborate with strategic partners to design and develop custom integrated solutions for products like fixed-wing UAVs. Ascent sees significant overlap of the needs of end users across these industries and can achieve economies of scale in sourcing, development, and production in commericializing products for these customers. Effective March 13, 2023, the Company redeployed its Thornton manufacturing facility as a Perovskite Center of Excellence and dedicated the facility to the industrial commercialization of the Company's patent-pending Perovskite solar technologies. On April 18, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of the manufacturing assets of Flisom AG ("Flisom"), a Zurich based thin-film solar manufacturer. The Company will continue to be headquartered in Thornton, CO.
