Ascent Solar Technologies Inc

We recognize the importance of securing our data and information systems and have a process for assessing, mitigating, overseeing and managing cybersecurity and related risks. This process is supported by both management and our Board of Directors.

The Chief Operations Officer ("COO"), who reports to the CEO, leads our cybersecurity function and is responsible for managing our cybersecurity risk and the protection of our networks, systems, and data. The COO uses both internal and external resources to execute this process including security tools that help prevent, identify, escalate, investigate and resolve security incidents in a timely manner and tools that help prevent unauthorized access. The Company, with the oversight of the COO, also requires all employees to complete an annual cybersecurity training course.

Our Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing our enterprise risk management activities. The Board of Directors receives an update on the Company’s risk management process and the risk trends related to cybersecurity at least annually. Additionally, on a quarterly basis, the Audit Committee will receive updates from Management on cybersecurity.
