to your instructions. Your bank, broker or other nominee will send you directions on how to vote those shares. Under applicable stock exchange rules, if you do not give instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee, it will still be able to
vote your shares with respect to certain &#147;discretionary&#148; items, such as the ratification of the selection of RSM US LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, but will not be allowed to vote your shares with respect to
certain <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;non-discretionary&#148;</FONT> items, such as the election of directors, the approval of amendments to our 2007 Stock Incentive Plan and the approval of amendments to our Amended and Restated 2007
Director Stock Plan. In the case of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;non-discretionary&#148;</FONT> items, shares for which your bank, broker or other nominee does not receive voting instructions will be treated as &#147;broker <FONT

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under applicable Nasdaq rules, a director will only qualify as an &#147;independent director&#148; if, in the opinion of&nbsp;our Board, that
person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our Board has determined that each of Mr.&nbsp;Budhraja, Mr.&nbsp;House, Ms.&nbsp;Littlefield,
Mr.&nbsp;Oliver and, while he served on our Board in fiscal 2018, Mr.&nbsp;Wood, does not have relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these
directors is an &#147;independent director&#148; as defined under Rule&nbsp;

Board members and others for recommendations, meetings from time to time to evaluate biographical information and background material relating to potential candidates, and interviews of selected candidates by members of the Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee and our Board. Director nominee Barbara G. Littlefield was recommended by our chief executive officer. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In considering
whether to recommend any particular candidate for inclusion in our Board&#146;s slate of recommended director nominees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee applies the criteria set forth in our corporate governance guidelines, such as
the candidate&#146;s integrity, business acumen, knowledge of our business and industry, experience, diligence, interest and ability to understand conflicting interests of our various constituencies and ability to act in the interests of all
stockholders. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not assign specific weights to particular criteria and no particular criterion is a prerequisite for each prospective nominee. We believe that the backgrounds and qualifications of
our directors, considered as a group, should provide a composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will allow our Board to fulfill its responsibilities. </P>

Secretary at American Superconductor Corporation, 114 East Main Street, Ayer, Massachusetts 01432. Our Board will evaluate stockholder-recommended candidates using the criteria described above. If our Board decides to nominate a
stockholder-recommended candidate, then we will include his or her name in the proxy statement and proxy card for the next annual meeting. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Stockholders also have the right under our bylaws to directly nominate director candidates, without any action or recommendation on the part of
the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or our Board, by&nbsp;following the procedures set forth under &#147;Stockholder Proposals for 2020 Annual Meeting.&#148; Candidates nominated by stockholders in accordance with the procedures set
forth in our bylaws will not be included in our proxy statement or proxy card for the next annual meeting. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><A NAME="toc668261_9"></A>Board Meetings

to assess our leadership structure on an ongoing basis and determine whether the positions of chief executive officer and chairman of the Board should be separate. In July 2018, our Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of our Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee, determined that, after almost eight years of having the positions of chief executive officer and chairman of the Board being separate, it was in the best interests of our company and our stockholders to have the same

with respect to both the levels and structure of compensation for our executives. In fiscal 2018, Radford assessed the competitiveness of executive compensation through comparisons with peer groups and survey sources while additionally assessing our
performance to ensure compensation levels were appropriately tied to performance. During early fiscal 2018, Radford advised the Compensation Committee on compensation matters for all officers and directors and met with the Compensation Committee in
executive session without the presence of management, as requested by the Compensation Committee. Radford did not perform services for our company that were unrelated to Compensation Committee matters during fiscal 2018. </P>

Because the overall structure and philosophy of our fiscal 2018 executive compensation program was consistent with our fiscal 2017 program, the Compensation Committee determined that the peer group developed in January 2017 remained appropriate for
fiscal 2018 compensation decisions, and updated the peer group company financial information and survey data, with the assistance of Radford, for the review and determination of our fiscal 2018 executive compensation packages. </P>

compensation paid by peer group companies to their respective executive officers does not factor into the Compensation Committee&#146;s determination of the peer group. After the peer group companies were selected in January 2017, Radford prepared
and presented a report to the Compensation Committee in each of fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018 summarizing the competitive data and comparisons of our executive officers to the comparable company market data utilizing publicly available data from the
comparable companies and broad survey data (reflecting companies of similar size in the general and high-technology industries). We use the broad survey data in conjunction with peer group data in evaluating our executive compensation practices. The
Compensation Committee does not rely upon data from any individual company participating in any of these surveys in making compensation decisions and uses the general survey data as only a reference point for evaluating our executive compensation
practices, as opposed to benchmarking our executive compensation practices against the general survey data. Each of our elements of compensation is reviewed as part of this analysis and evaluation. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Compensation Committee uses stock-based awards to retain executive officers and align their interests with those of our stockholders.
Historically, the Compensation Committee granted stock-based awards to our executive officers purely in the form of stock options that vested in installments over multiple years, with an exercise price equal to the closing market price of our common
stock on the date of grant. Over the past four fiscal years, the Compensation Committee has relied exclusively on the award of shares of restricted stock to our executive officers. The Compensation Committee awards both time-based and
performance-based restricted stock awards. A time-based restricted stock award typically will vest in equal annual installments over a three-year period. A performance-based restricted stock award typically will vest upon the achievement of specific
objectives relating to our performance within a specified period. The Compensation Committee believes shares of restricted stock provide a more motivating form of incentive compensation, minimize stock compensation expenses and reduce the potential
dilution of our shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We generally grant shares of restricted stock to executive officers and other employees upon their initial hire,
in connection with a promotion, and annually based on merit. To determine the amount of stock-based awards granted to executive officers, our Compensation Committee considers the performance of the individual and our company, historic stock-based
awards and the awards made to those in similar positions at comparable companies. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our Board and Compensation Committee typically meet in
early May to review company performance for the prior fiscal year. At such time, the Compensation Committee (or, in the case of our chief executive officer, our Board) also reviews the performance of the executive officers over the prior fiscal year
and grants equity awards, if any, to the executive officers. In fiscal 2018, the Compensation Committee and Board met in June and awarded time-based and performance-based restricted stock awards to Messrs. McGahn and Kosiba under our 2007 Stock
Incentive Plan. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In fiscal 2018, when considering equity grants to our executive officers, the Compensation Committee (or, in the case of

compensation exception in Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code so that the compensation remained tax deductible to us. The qualified performance-based compensation exception was generally eliminated, effective for tax years beginning following
December&nbsp;31, 2017, upon the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (&#147;TCJ Act&#148;), subject to limited transition relief for certain arrangements in place as of November&nbsp;2, 2017. As a result, unless eligible for transition relief,

especially in light of the TCJ Act, no assurance can be given that compensation will be eligible for transition relief under the TCJ Act or otherwise be deductible by the company, and the Compensation Committee reserves the right to pay compensation
that will not be deductible as a result of Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code and to modify existing compensation that was initially intended to be exempt from Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code (and/or may be subject to any transition relief under the

required to disclose the ratio of our principal executive officer to the annual total compensation of our median employee. During fiscal 2018, the principal executive officer of AMSC was our chairman of the Board, president and chief executive
officer, Mr.&nbsp;Daniel&nbsp;P. McGahn. For fiscal 2018, the annual total compensation of Mr.&nbsp;McGahn, for purposes of this pay ratio disclosure, was $2,895,658, and for our median employee was $67,516, resulting in a pay ratio of approximately
43:1. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Consistent with the process we adopted for our fiscal 2017 pay ratio disclosure, for fiscal 2018 we identified the median employee
as of February&nbsp;28, 2019 by (i)&nbsp;aggregating for each applicable employee (A)&nbsp;annual base salary for salaried employees (or hourly rate multiplied by actual hours worked, for hourly employees), in each case, annualized with respect to
newly hired permanent employees, and (B)&nbsp;target incentive compensation, and (ii)&nbsp;ranking this compensation measure for our employees from lowest to highest. This calculation was performed for all employees of AMSC, excluding
Mr.&nbsp;McGahn, as of February&nbsp;28, 2019. After identifying the median employee, we calculated the annual total compensation for fiscal 2018 for such employee using the same methodology we used for our named executive officers as set forth in
the &#147;Fiscal 2018 Summary Compensation Table&#148; earlier in this section. Compensation paid in <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> currency was converted to U.S. dollars based on the average annual exchange rate. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When calculating the total compensation in accordance with Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-K</FONT> for the
median employee identified as a result of this process, we determined that the median employee received significant overtime pay during fiscal 2018, which would have a significant impact on our pay ratio. Therefore, we substituted another employee
with substantially similar compensation to the original median employee based on the compensation measure used to select the median employee as described above. This employee also has the same title and country of residence as the employee whose
compensation was disclosed for fiscal 2017. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We consider the pay ratio reported above to be a reasonable estimate, calculated in a manner
intended to be consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-K</FONT> based on our internal records and the methodology described above. Item 402(u) of Regulation <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-K</FONT> allows
companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, apply certain exclusions, and make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. Therefore, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not
be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates, and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

to the TCJ Act, an exception to Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code allowed performance-based compensation that met certain requirements to be tax deductible without regard to the deduction limits imposed by Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code. This
qualified performance-based compensation exception was repealed as part of the TCJ Act. The amendments to the 2007 Plan remove certain provisions which were otherwise required for awards to qualify as performance-based compensation under this

that equity is a key element of AMSC&#146;s compensation package and that equity awards encourage employee loyalty and align employee interests directly with those of our stockholders. The 2007 Plan allows us to provide key employees, and
consultants and advisors, with equity incentives that are competitive with the marketplace. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of June&nbsp;13, 2019, an aggregate of

law, however, incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of AMSC and its subsidiaries. As of June&nbsp;13, 2019, the persons eligible to receive awards under the 2007 Plan consisted of approximately 234 employees (other than officers)
and two officers. The granting of awards under the 2007 Plan is discretionary, and we cannot now determine the number or type of awards to be granted in the future to any particular person or group. Other than the continued services of the award
recipient, the Company generally has not and does not expect to receive any consideration for the granting of any awards under the 2007 Plan. </P>

through awards made under the 2007 Plan or through the exercise of options granted thereunder will be increased from 3,400,000 shares to 4,600,000 shares. </P>

against the shares reserved for issuance under the 2007 Plan as one share of common stock. For awards prior to August&nbsp;1, 2014, however, the share reserve for the 2007 Plan was reduced by 1.3 shares for each Full-Value Award and one
(1)&nbsp;share for each award that is not a Full-Value Award (including, without limitation, any option or stock appreciation right award). Further, for awards prior to July&nbsp;27, 2012, the share reserve for the 2007 Plan was reduced by two
shares for each Full-Value Award and one (1)&nbsp;share for each award that is not a Full-Value Award (including, without limitation, any option or stock appreciation right award). To the extent a share that was subject to an award that was
previously counted as one share, two shares or 1.3 shares is returned to the 2007 Plan, the share reserve and limits will be credited with one share, two shares or 1.3 shares, as the case may be. For purposes of counting the number of shares
available for the grant of awards under the 2007 Plan, (i)&nbsp;shares of common stock delivered (either by actual delivery, attestation, or net exercise) to AMSC by a participant to (a)&nbsp;purchase shares of common stock upon the exercise of an

the 2007 Plan. This summary is based on the federal tax laws in effect as of the date of this proxy statement and is intended for general information only. Alternative minimum tax and other federal tax and foreign, state, and local income taxes are
not discussed and may vary depending on individual circumstances and from locality to locality. Changes to the federal income tax laws could alter the tax consequences described below. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A participant will not have income upon the grant of an incentive stock option. Also, except as described below, a participant will not have
income upon exercise of an incentive stock option if the participant has been employed by us or one of our 50% or more-owned corporate subsidiaries at all times beginning with the option grant date and ending three months before the date the
participant exercises the option. If the participant has not been so employed during that time, then the participant will be taxed as described below under &#147;Nonstatutory Stock Options.&#148; The exercise of an incentive stock option may subject
the participant to the alternative minimum tax. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A participant will have income upon the sale of the stock acquired under an incentive
stock option at a profit (if sales proceeds exceed the exercise price). The type of income will depend on when the participant sells the stock. If a participant sells the stock more than two years after the option was granted and more than one year
after the option was exercised, then all of the profit will be long-term capital gain. If a participant sells the stock prior to satisfying these waiting periods, then the participant will have engaged in a disqualifying disposition and a portion of
the profit will be ordinary income (as compensation income) and a portion may be capital gain. This capital gain will be long-term if the participant has held the stock for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term. If a participant sells
the stock at a loss (sales proceeds are less than the exercise price), then the loss will be a capital loss. This capital loss will be long-term if the participant held the stock for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term. </P>

proceeds and the value of the stock on the day the option was exercised. This capital gain or loss will be long-term if the participant has held the stock for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term. </P>

award. Among the relevant factors are whether or not the award has a readily ascertainable fair market value, whether or not the award is subject to forfeiture provisions or restrictions on transfer, the nature of the property to be received by the
participant under the award and the participant&#146;s holding period and tax basis for the award or underlying common stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:2%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Tax
Consequences to AMSC </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">There will be no tax consequences to us except that we will generally be entitled to a deduction when a
participant has compensation income. Any such deduction will be subject to the limitations of Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code (as described below). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:2%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code, income tax deductions of publicly-traded companies may be limited to the extent total compensation
(including, without limitation, base salary, annual bonus, stock option exercises, and restricted stock vesting) for certain current or former executive officers exceeds $1&nbsp;million in any one taxable year. Prior to the TCJ Act, the deduction
limit did not apply to certain &#147;performance-based&#148; compensation established by an independent compensation committee which conformed to certain restrictive conditions stated under the Code and related regulations. As part of the TCJ Act,
the ability to rely on this qualified &#147;performance-based&#148; compensation exception was eliminated. Although the 2007 Plan was structured with the intent that awards granted thereunder may meet the requirements for
&#147;performance-based&#148; compensation under Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code, subject to certain transition relief rules, we may no longer take a deduction for any compensation paid to our covered employees in excess of $1&nbsp;million. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Furthermore, although the Compensation Committee may have taken action to limit the impact of Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code, it also believes
that deductibility of executive compensation is only one of several important considerations in setting compensation and reserves the right to approve executive compensation arrangements that are not fully tax deductible if it believes that doing so
is in the best interests of AMSC or our stockholders. </P>

proceeds and the value of the stock on the day the option was exercised. This capital gain or loss will be long-term if the participant has held the stock for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term. </P>

that we submit this selection for ratification by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. Although stockholder ratification is not required, the designation of RSM US LLP is being submitted for ratification at the Annual Meeting because AMSC
believes it is a good corporate governance practice. If this proposal is not approved at the Annual Meeting, the Audit Committee may reconsider its selection of RSM US LLP. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee may, in its
discretion, direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accountant at any time during the fiscal year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interest of AMSC and its stockholders. </P>

</B>corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;), is to advance the interests of the Company&#146;s stockholders by enhancing the Company&#146;s ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who are expected to make important contributions to the Company
and by providing such persons with equity ownership opportunities and performance-based incentives that are intended to align their interests with those of the Company&#146;s stockholders. Except where the context otherwise requires, the term
&#147;Company&#148; shall include any of the Company&#146;s present or future parent or subsidiary corporations as defined in Sections&nbsp;424(e) or (f)&nbsp;of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations promulgated

&#147;Board&#148;). This Plan constitutes an amendment and restatement of the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, as approved by the Board on May&nbsp;8, 2014, and approved by the Company&#146;s stockholders on August&nbsp;1, 2014, as adjusted to take into
account the Company&#146;s reverse stock split, effective as of March&nbsp;24, 2015 (the &#147;Existing Plan&#148;). In the event that the Company&#146;s stockholders do not approve the Plan, the Existing Plan will continue in full force and effect
on its terms and conditions as in effect immediately prior to the date the Plan is approved by the Board. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

directors of the Company. This Plan constitutes an amendment and restatement of the 2007 Director Stock Plan, as approved by the Company&#146;s Board of Directors (the &#147;Board&#148;) on May&nbsp;8, 2014, and approved by the Company&#146;s
stockholders on August&nbsp;1, 2014, as adjusted to take into account the Company&#146;s reverse stock split, effective as of March&nbsp;24, 2015 (the &#147;Existing Plan&#148;). In the event that the Company&#146;s stockholders do not approve the
Plan, the Existing Plan will continue in full force and effect on its terms and conditions as in effect immediately prior to the date the Plan is approved by the Board. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>
