(Nasdaq: BWEN, or the \u201cCompany\u201d), has sent a letter to shareholders in connection with its upcoming annual meeting, which is scheduled to be held on May 23, 2023 (the \u201c2023 Annual Meeting\u201d). The full text of the letter follows.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">May 9, 2023<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Dear Shareholder,<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">You have likely received proxy vote solicitation materials from WM Argyle Fund, LLC (\u201cWM Argyle\u201d), an activist hedge fund that owns 1% of Broadwind, Inc.\u2019s (\u201cBroadwind\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) outstanding common stock. Our Board of Directors (the \u201cBoard\u201d) urges you not to sign, return or vote any proxy card sent to you by WM Argyle, and instead recommends you vote to support Broadwind\u2019s directors on the Company\u2019s <strong>WHITE<\/strong> proxy card.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Broadwind strongly believes that WM Argyle\u2019s opportunistic campaign for Board representation puts shareholder value at risk. Unfortunately, WM Argyle dismisses the hard work Broadwind employees have done to position the Company for success \u2013 efforts that are working, as shown by our recent strong stock price performance and key strategic wins. We believe shareholders should be very concerned that WM Argyle is manipulating facts about the directors and officers of Broadwind to hide WM Argyle\u2019s candidates\u2019 total lack of qualifications to serve on the Board.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Here are just a few examples of WM Argyle\u2019s materially false and misleading statements. We encourage shareholders to see these statements for what we believe they are: the blatant efforts of an unqualified opportunistic hedge fund seeking to deceive its fellow investors for personal gain.<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:8pt;text-align:justify\">WM Argyle claims that its candidate Ryan Bogenschneider\u2019s experience includes \u201cworking with the BWEN board in 2016.\u201d <strong><u>This is false<\/u><\/strong>. Broadwind never hired Mr. Bogenschneider in any capacity. He submitted a self-enriching consulting proposal with demands for fees and stock, which the Board rejected due to his lack of qualifications and credibility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"justify\">He has not worked at <em>any<\/em> company in over a decade other than WM Argyle, where he is \u201cCEO\u201d of a fund with no employees that only owns Broadwind stock, and his own private consulting firm that lacks a website and known client list.<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:8pt;text-align:justify\">WM Argyle claims the Board\u2019s Chairman Cary Wood was terminated from his CEO role at Sparton Corp. and that Board member Tom Wagner led the development of a wind turbine product that failed to perform. <strong><u>This is false<\/u><\/strong>. The fact that WM Argyle would publish false and disparaging statements in public filings speaks volumes about its lack of judgement, character and willingness to defame respected public company executives.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:8pt;text-align:justify\">WM Argyle claims Broadwind is not prioritizing the use of NOL tax benefits, and that there is a \u201chigh likelihood the tax benefits of these NOL\u2019s [sic] will be wasted.\u201d <strong><u>This is false<\/u><\/strong>. The reality is that Broadwind is on a pathway back to profitability that will help the Company to realize these tax benefits. The multi-year strategic turnaround we have executed has positioned the Company for growth and profitability, as evidenced by Broadwind\u2019s most recent guidance that projects adjusted EBITDA will grow to $16 \u2013 $18 million in 2023, over six times the 2022 results.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:8pt;text-align:justify\">WM Argyle claims Broadwind\u2019s directors are overpaid. <strong><u>This is false<\/u><\/strong>. The reality is that our Board compensation is less than the 25th percentile of directors at similar companies. The Board kept Board pay far lower than the market for years as part of a concerted plan to manage expenses and preserve liquidity during the downturn.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:8pt;text-align:justify\">WM Argyle claims its candidates have the experience and skills needed to serve on the Board. <strong><u>This is false<\/u><\/strong>. The reality is that they do not. They have never led a manufacturing company, or even an operating division of a manufacturing company. They also have no board experience. They lack the knowledge and qualifications required to lead the business during its next chapter of growth. Shareholders deserve directors that will represent their interests, who can monitor risks and opportunities to protect your investment and create value for shareholders. We believe WM Argyle\u2019s candidates simply cannot offer that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"justify\">We urge shareholders to see through WM Argyle\u2019s false and misleading statements. WM Argyle\u2019s candidates have never served in senior-level operational roles for a very good reason in our view: they are wholly unqualified.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">WM Argyle has demanded short-sighted and reckless cost cuts, including cuts to our labor force, to increase short-term profits at the expense of long-term value creation. The Board has made strategic decisions to preserve skilled labor and manufacturing capacity during the downturn, so that Broadwind would be among the first to benefit from a rebound in demand entering a cyclical recovery. <strong>This strategy is working, and we are well-positioned to capitalize on the opportunities ahead of us. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">WM Argyle\u2019s campaign to replace directors is \u2013 in our view \u2013 a serious risk to shareholder value. At this year\u2019s annual meeting, we urge shareholders to support your Board and to vote for Broadwind\u2019s directors on the <strong>WHITE<\/strong> proxy card.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Board of Directors<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n        <strong>YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n        <strong>VOTE \u201cFOR\u201d BROADWIND\u2019S DIRECTOR NOMINEES ON THE <\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong><br \/>\n          <u>WHITE<\/u><br \/>\n        <\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong> PROXY CARD TODAY<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions or require any assistance with respect to voting your shares, please contact the Company&#8217;s proxy solicitor, Morrow Sodali LLC:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">509 Madison Avenue Suite 1206<br \/>New York, New York 10022<br \/>Shareholders Call Toll Free: (800) 662-5200<br \/>Banks, Brokers, Trustees and Other Nominees Call Collect: (203) 658-9400<br \/>Email: BWEN@investor.MorrowSodali.com<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>CORPORATE CONTACT<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Noel Ryan, IRC<br \/>BWEN@val-adv.com<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Important Additional Information<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Company, its directors and certain of its executive officers are participants in the solicitation of proxies from the Company\u2019s shareholders in connection with its upcoming 2023 Annual Meeting.
