<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">On April 17, 2023, Ascent Solar
Technologies, Inc. (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the &#8220;Asset Purchase Agreement&#8221;)
with Flisom AG, a leading developer and manufacturer of photovoltaic thin film solar cells (&#8220;Seller&#8221;), pursuant to
which, among other things, the Company purchased certain assets relating to thin-film photovoltaic manufacture and production from
Seller (collectively, the &#8220;Assets&#8221;), including (i) certain manufacturing equipment located at Seller&#8217;s
Niederhasli, Switzerland facility (the &#8220;Manufacturing Facility&#8221;) and (ii) related inventory and raw materials at the
Manufacturing Facility (collectively, the &#8220;Transaction&#8221;). In connection with the Transaction, the Company also received
a license to certain intellectual property rights used in the operation of the Assets and will also acquire, by operation of Swiss
law, the employment contracts of certain employees of Seller in Switzerland who are functionally predominantly working with the
Assets, subject to such employees being offered the right to remain employed by Seller after the closing of the Transaction (the
&#8220;Closing&#8221;). The total consideration paid by the Company to Seller in connection with the Transaction was an aggregate
amount in cash equal to $2,800,000.</p>

representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and Seller, along with provisions providing for indemnification in the event
of a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant. The Closing, which was subject to, among other things, delivery of customary
documentation and approval by a committee comprised of disinterested and independent members of the Company&#8217;s Board of Directors,
occurred concurrently with the signing of the Asset Purchase Agreement.</p>

into (i) a Transition Services Agreement requiring that Seller provide transition support for the Company&#8217;s operation of the Assets,
with fees to be due and payable by the Company for performance of such support services, (ii) a Sublease Agreement related to the Company&#8217;s
use of the premises at the Manufacturing Facility where the Assets are located (the &#8220;Sublease Agreement&#8221;), and (iii) a Technology
License Agreement, pursuant to which Seller granted the Company a revocable, non-exclusive license to certain intellectual property rights
of the Seller used in the operation of the Assets (the &#8220;Licensed IP&#8221;), subject to certain encumbrances on the Licensed IP
in favor of Seller&#8217;s lender.</p>

the Seller and one of its significant customers, in exchange for the Company receiving the incoming proceeds from the fulfillment of the

BD 1 Investment Holding, LLC (&#8220;BD1&#8221;), an affiliate of the Company, BD1 and BD Verm&#246;gensverwaltung GmbH (&#8220;BD&#8221;),
the parent entity of FL1 (collectively, the &#8220;Affiliates&#8221;), in connection with the prospective acquisition by FL1 of substantially
all shares in Seller following the Closing, subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement,
among other things, FL1 and one or more of the Affiliates agreed, on behalf of itself and its affiliates (i) to certain noncompetition
and nonsolicitation obligations with respect to the Company and the Assets, including certain prospective customers of the products produced
using the Assets, for a period of five (5) years from the Closing, subject to certain exceptions, (ii) to cause Seller to use certain
of its intellectual property rights for limited internal purposes until such time as a joint collaboration agreement is entered into after
the Closing among Seller, the Company and certain other affiliates of FL1 related to the licensing and use of such intellectual property,
and otherwise not to dispose of or fail to maintain such intellectual property, (iii) to reimburse the Company for certain pre-Closing
liabilities of Seller to the extent incurred by the Company following the closing of the Transaction; and (iv) to indemnify the Company
for breaches of certain representations, warranties and covenants relating to the Assets.</p>

approval of a committee comprised of disinterested and independent members of the Company&#8217;s Board of Directors and the affirmative
vote of a majority of the voting power of outstanding shares of the Company not beneficially owned by BD and its affiliates; (2) BD and
its affiliates will not transfer any shares of the Company&#8217;s capital stock beneficially owned by them unless the transferee agrees
in writing to be bound by the foregoing restriction; and (3) each of them will stand behind the obligations of FL1 pursuant to the Letter
Agreement.</p>

and (ii) for a period of 12 months following the Closing, to resell the Assets to FL1 for an aggregate amount equal to $5,000,000, with
such transaction to close within 90 days following the exercise of the Company&#8217;s resale right.</p>
