Ascent Solar Reports Inducement Grant to New CFO Paul Warley Jr.

Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASTI) today announced that its board of directors compensation committee has granted Paul Warley Jr., the company’s newly appointed chief financial officer, an inducement grant of restricted stock units (RSUs) for an aggregate of 700,000 shares of Ascent Solar’s common stock.

This RSU grant was agreed to as an inducement material to Mr. Warley entering into an employment agreement with Ascent Solar. The RSU grant was agreed to and granted in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). Twenty percent (20%) of the RSUs are fully vested upon grant. The remaining eighty percent (80%) of the RSUs shall vest in equal monthly increments over the next thirty-six (36) months. Any outstanding and unvested RSUs will accelerate and fully vest upon the earlier of (i) a change of control and (ii) the termination of Mr. Warley’s employment for any reason other than (x) by Ascent Solar for cause or (y) by Mr. Warley without good reason.

The RSUs shall be settled in eight (8) equal increments on the last business day of each calendar quarter beginning with the initial settlement date of December 31, 2024. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any RSUs that are then outstanding and vested will accelerate and be settled upon the earlier of (i) a change of control and (ii) the termination of Mr. Warley’s employment for any reason other than (x) by Ascent Solar for cause or (y) by Mr. Warley without good reason. At the election of Ascent Solar or Mr. Warley prior to each settlement date, the RSUs shall be “net settled” and Ascent Solar shall retain such number of shares for sale on behalf of Mr. Warley at a price equal to the fair market value of the shares on the settlement date as will be sufficient for the payment of withholding tax liability to satisfy the obligation of Mr. Warley upon settlement of any RSUs.
