This Statement on Schedule 13D (the “ Statement ”) relates to the shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “ Shares ”), of Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Issuer ”). The principal executive office of the Issuer is located at 12300 Grant Street, Thornton, CO 80241.

 

 

Item 2.

Identity and Background.

 

(a)-(c)                This Statement is being filed by Hong Kong Boone Group Ltd, a company organized under the laws of Hong Kong (“ HKBG ”). HKBG is a Hong Kong investment firm. The address of HKBG’s principal office is Room 414, 4F, International Plaza, 20 Sheung Yuet Road, Mongkok, Kowloon, Hong Kong 999077. The name, residence or business address, and present principal occupation or employment of each of the executive officers and directors of HKBG, and the name, principal business and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted, are set forth on Schedule A and are incorporated by reference herein.

 

Song Liang is a director and a 100% equity owner of HKBG.  Li Yanling is a director of HKBG. Song Liang and Li Yanling are husband and wife.

 

(d)-(e)   During the last five years, neither HKBG nor, to the best of HKBG’s knowledge, any person named in Schedule A, has been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

(f)                                    The citizenships of each executive officer and director of HKBG are set forth on Schedule A and are incorporated by reference herein.

 

 

Item 3.

Source or Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

On February 8, 2017, the Issuer, entered into a securities purchase agreement (“Series K SPA”) with the reporting person for the private placement of up to 20,000 shares of the Issuer’s newly designated Series K Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series K Preferred Stock”).  The Issuer will sell 1,000 shares of Series K Preferred Stock to HKBG in exchange for $1,000,000 of gross proceeds on or before each of (i) February 24, 2017, (ii) March 27, 2017, (iii) April 27, 2017, (iv) May 27, 2017 and (v) June 27, 2017.  The Issuer will sell

 

3



 

 

15,000 shares of Series K Preferred Stock to the reporting person in exchange for $15,000,000 of gross proceeds on or before July 27, 2017.

 

Shares of the Series K Preferred Stock will be convertible at the option of the holder into common stock at a fixed conversion price equal to $0.004.  Accordingly, the 20,000 shares of Series K Preferred Stock would be convertible into a total of 5,000,000,000 common shares.  At no time, however, may the Series K Preferred Stock be converted if the number of shares of common stock to be received by the reporting person pursuant to such conversion, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock then beneficially (or deemed beneficially) owned by the reporting person, would result in reporting person beneficially owning more than 19.99% of all common stock then outstanding.

 

Accordingly, the reporting person may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of 465,728,901 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of Series K Preferred Stock which could be converted in compliance with the 19.99% blocker provision.

(a)                            HKBG beneficially owns 465,728,901 Shares, which constitutes approximately 19.99% of the Issuer ’s total number of shares issued and outstanding as of February 16, 2017.

 

(b)                            HKBG has the sole voting and dispositive power over 465,728,901 Shares.

 

(c)                             Except as described in Item 3 above with respect to the securities subscribed for on February 8, 2017, HKBG has not effected any transactions in shares during the past sixty days.
