Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

Effective September 3, 2009, Solar Thin Films, Inc. (the "Company") amended its Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") by filing a certificate of amendment (the "Amendment") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware for purposes of effectuating a one-for-five reverse split of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the "Reverse Split"). In connection with the Reverse Split, the trading symbol of the Company's common stock as quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board was changed to "SLTZ.OB", effective as of September 3, 2009.

Article Fourth of the Certificate of Incorporation was amended to include the following provision as the last sentence thereof:

"The Board of Directors is authorized, without approval from the stockholders, to take all steps necessary to effect, or in its discretion not to effect, a reverse split of the common stock of the Corporation on the basis of a ratio of five pre-split shares for every one post-split share of common stock (the "Reverse Split"), and further that the Board of Directors be authorized to take all other actions necessary and appropriate to effect such Reverse Split, if so required."

The foregoing is a summary of the Amendment. Accordingly, the foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K in Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

On September 8, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing the Reverse Split, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
