AKC News Ascent Solar Announces Resignation of Director
LITTLETON, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc., (NASDAQ:ASTI) (BSX:AKC) announced today
that Mark Waller resigned from its Board of Directors effective November
30, 2006. The company will immediately begin a search for a candidate to
fill the vacant Board position.
In his letter of resignation, Mark Waller stated, “It
has been a real pleasure to serve as a Director on the Ascent Solar
Board and I am certain the company will continue to make great strides
forward. Unfortunately, my position as a member of the Ascent Solar
Board has become too restrictive and potentially conflicting with my
principal business as a financial advisor to other companies
particularly within the energy sector. I feel it is appropriate for me
to depart at this time so that I can more freely pursue opportunities
within the exciting and growing field of energy.”
Ascent Solar plans to use Mr. Waller’s
services from time to time on a consulting basis.
Ascent Solar President and CEO Matthew Foster stated, “We
are saddened by Mark’s departure, but we also
understand his decision and commend his integrity and high standards of
business conduct. Mark has been an invaluable resource who has served
Ascent Solar in exceptional fashion from its very beginnings. He will be
greatly missed as a director, but we look forward to retaining him as a
consultant to the company.”
