Victor Lee, executive director of TFG Radiant Group, will now serve as Ascent Solar Technologies’ president and CEO. TFG Radiant owns approximately 20% of the outstanding shares of Ascent and this past December agreed to purchase an additional 21% of the outstanding stock in a private transaction. Lee will remain as a board member for the company, but advised that he takes on the roles of president and CEO voluntarily and without any compensation.

Dr. Amit Kumar, chairman of Ascent, stated, “We are pleased to see TFG Radiant make a greater commitment to Ascent. Victor, representing our largest shareholder, has tremendous relationships in Asia that will be valuable to Ascent. As we evaluate the changing dynamics of the solar industry, we have been aware for some time that the greatest market opportunities are in Asia, and this change in leadership enables us to take advantage of these changing market dynamics. Victor and his team at TFG Radiant, have substantial financial management backgrounds, have run multiple large organizations, and have very strong financial, government and business relationships in China and East Asia. In addition, Victor is fluent in English, Mandarin and multiple Chinese dialects.”
