Item 1.01 - Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On March 25, 2006, Advanced Energy Technologies, Inc. (AET), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of UniSource Energy Corporation (UniSource Energy) entered into an agreement to sell all of the capital stock of Global Solar Energy, Inc. (Global Solar) to Solon AG and I-Sol Ventures GmbH.
 
The buyers will pay $16 million in cash, which will first be used to satisfy $10 million of secured promissory notes held by a UniSource Energy subsidiary with the remainder payable to AET. UniSource Energy expects to record approximately $1 million of after-tax losses related to the discontinued operations and disposal of Global Solar.
 
In addition to the cash purchase price, Global Solar will grant AET a ten year option to purchase between 5 and 10 percent of the common stock of Global Solar, determined on a fully diluted basis. The option is only exercisable after the seventh anniversary of the closing or upon the occurrence of certain events including a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Global Solar, a merger, a change of control transaction, an initial public offering of Global Solar common stock or the payment by Global Solar of dividends in excess of specified amounts.
 
The closing of the sale is subject to various closing conditions.  In the event the stock purchase agreement is terminated due to a breach, the breaching party is liable for a break up fee of $800,000.
 
The transaction is expected to close by mid-April 2006.
