Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Amendment of Outstanding Convertible Notes
As previously disclosed, on September 8, 2017, Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Note SPA”) with St. George Investments LLC (“Investor”), for the private placement of $1,725,000 principal amount of the Company’s Original Issue Discount Convertible Promissory Notes (“Notes”). On September 11, 2017, the Company sold and issued $1,725,000 principal amount of Notes to Investor in exchange for $1,500,000 of gross proceeds.
Beginning six months after the issuance of the Notes, the Company has the option to pay certain required redemption amounts on the Notes in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock.
As originally issued, payments in the form of shares would be calculated using a variable conversion price equal to the lower of (i) 85% of the average VWAP for the shares over the prior five trading days or (ii) the closing bid price for the shares on the prior trading day.
On May 1, 2018, the parties agreed to amend such variable conversion price formula. As amended, payments in the form of shares would be calculated using a variable conversion price equal to the lower of (i) 60% of the lowest VWAP for the shares during the prior five trading days or (ii) the closing bid price for the shares on the prior trading day.
The foregoing description of the amendment to the Notes is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the document attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, which document is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03 | Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant. |
