Insights
Disclosure shows a sub-5% beneficial stake held via warrants with a blocker provision.
The filing lists combined beneficial ownership of 496,945 shares, equal to 4.99%, calculated using 9,461,887 shares outstanding as of March 20, 2026. The holdings are composed of three warrants exercisable into 174, 363,636 and 133,135 shares.

"may have been deemed to have beneficial ownership of 496,945 shares"
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
warrantfinancial
"shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Intracoastal Warrant 2"
A warrant is a time-limited financial contract that gives its holder the right to buy a company's shares at a set price before a specified date, like a coupon that lets you purchase stock at a fixed discount for a limited time. It matters to investors because warrants offer leveraged exposure to a stock’s upside and can dilute existing shareholders if exercised, so they affect potential gains and the company’s outstanding share count.

Ownership
(a)
Amount beneficially owned:
As of the close of business on March 31, 2026, each of the Reporting Persons may have been deemed to have beneficial ownership of 496,945 shares of Common Stock, which consisted of (i) 174 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a warrant held by Intracoastal ("Intracoastal Warrant 1"), (ii) 363,636 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a second warrant held by Intracoastal ("Intracoastal Warrant 2") and (iii) 133,135 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a third warrant held by Intracoastal ("Intracoastal Warrant 3"), and all such shares of Common Stock represent beneficial ownership of approximately 4.99% of the Common Stock, based on (1) 9,461,887 shares of Common Stock as of March 20, 2026, as reported by the Issuer, plus (2) 174 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Intracoastal Warrant 1, (3) 363,636 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Intracoastal Warrant 2 and (4) 133,135 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Intracoastal Warrant 3. The foregoing excludes 48,683 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Intracoastal Warrant 3 because Intracoastal Warrant 3 contains a blocker provision under which the holder thereof does not have the right to exercise Intracoastal Warrant 1 to the extent (but only to the extent) that such exercise would result in beneficial ownership by the holder thereof, together with the holder's affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder's affiliates, of more than 4.99% of the Common Stock. Without such blocker provision, each of the Reporting Persons may have been deemed to have beneficial ownership of 545,628 shares of Common Stock.

SIGNATURE
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
What stake do the reporting persons hold in Ascent Solar (ASTI)?
They report beneficial ownership of 496,945 shares, equal to 4.99% of common stock. This percentage is calculated using 9,461,887 shares outstanding as of March 20, 2026 and includes exercisable warrants.
How are the 496,945 shares composed?
The shares consist of warrants exercisable into 174, 363,636 and 133,135 shares. The filing lists these three warrant amounts as the basis for the reported beneficial ownership.
What is the blocker provision mentioned in the filing?
The filing states a "blocker provision" in Intracoastal Warrant 3 that excludes 48,683 shares from exercise. That provision prevents exercises that would cause ownership to exceed 4.99%.
Would reported ownership change if the blocker provision did not apply?
Yes. The filing states that without the blocker provision the Reporting Persons "may have been deemed to have beneficial ownership of 545,628 shares." That figure is presented as a hypothetical calculation in the excerpt.
Who are the reporting persons named in the Schedule 13G/A for ASTI?
The filing lists Mitchell P. Kopin, Daniel B. Asher, and Intracoastal Capital LLC as the Reporting Persons, with business addresses provided for each in the excerpt.
