Ascent Solar Technologies Inc (ASTI)

[Khale]

When a company like Energizer decides to partner with Ascent Solar for a new line of business which is expected to be long term, that's what I need to tell me that Ascent's troubles are behind it. You know why? Because Energizer would have done all its due diligence and also considered other solar companies before deciding to go with Ascent. They have complete information which we the retail investors do not have. Energizer knows that if Ascent fails, it would be a huge dent on their brand. So they would never put their brand name with Ascent if they thought it was going to fail. Energizer did not become a multi-billion dollar multinational brand by partnering with mediocrity. They have the best in the industry to carry out their due diligence.

The Energizer Powerkeep/Ascent Solar partnership was in the works since 2016 (or earlier) with a lot happening behind the scene - for instance see the link below for talks that happened as early as 2016 to develop the Powerkeep website. Aso see below for the Powerkeep trademak filing in November 2016.

Meanwhile retail investors with little or no information were busy bashing Ascent Solar. In hind sight it is clear that the sales of Enerplex in February 2017 was part of the plan to bring the Energizer partnership to fruition. Yet the stock price crashed further when Enerplex was sold. It took at least one year of activity behind the scene before the Energizer partnership was PR'd in September 2017. Do we know how many more partnerships are in the works that have yet to be made known to retail investors.
