<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">CICERO, Ill., Jan. 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Broadwind, Inc. (NASDAQ: BWEN, &#8220;Broadwind&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;), a diversified precision manufacturer of specialized components and solutions serving global markets, today confirmed receipt of notice from WM Argyle Fund LLC (the &#8220;Fund&#8221;), which allegedly owns approximately 1.0% of the Company&#8217;s outstanding common stock valued at approximately $1.2 million, of its purported intent to nominate six individuals for election to the Company&#8217;s Board of Directors (the &#8220;Board&#8221;) at the Company&#8217;s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders (the &#8220;2023 Annual Meeting&#8221;).</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">The Board will consider the Fund&#8217;s proposed nominees in due course and review the Fund&#8217;s notice for compliance with its established procedures under the Company&#8217;s bylaws and applicable law. The Board will present its recommendations in the Company&#8217;s definitive proxy statement, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;SEC&#8221;) and made available to all stockholders entitled to vote at the 2023 Annual Meeting.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">The Company has engaged with the Fund, as it would with any stockholder, and is disappointed that the Fund has chosen to initiate a costly and disruptive proxy contest, particularly given the Company&#8217;s recent track record of value creation. Broadwind believes that the Fund&#8217;s attempt to take over Broadwind&#8217;s full Board represents a disguised attempt to seize control of the Company without paying a premium. However, Broadwind remains committed to maintaining an open dialogue while continuing to represent the best interests of all stockholders.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">The Board is currently comprised of six highly qualified directors with proven track records. Equipped with expertise across a wide range of disciplines and industries, the Board also possesses a deep knowledge of the Company&#8217;s business and the industries in which it operates. Through ongoing refreshment, the average tenure of the current Board is less than seven years. Moreover, 80% of the Company&#8217;s directors are independent, ensuring objectivity and proper representation of all stockholder interests.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">Under the leadership of the current Board and management team, the Company has created significant value for stockholders. On a trailing three-year basis, Broadwind&#8217;s stock price has increased approximately 250% and, in 2022, the Company materially outperformed its one-year total shareholder return benchmarks, including the Russell Microcap Index and WilderHill Clean Energy Index.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">Broadwind continues to execute on its strategic priorities, emphasizing a combination of further diversification within non-wind industries, including significant new customer relationships; the introduction of new, innovative technologies serving emerging growth energy transition markets; and a sustained focus on operational excellence, ensuring the on-time delivery of customer fabrications, gearing solutions and energy transition technologies to a diverse group of leading global customers.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">The Company looks forward to maintaining a constructive dialogue with all stockholders over the coming months. Stockholders are not required to take any action at this time. The date of the 2023 Annual Meeting will be announced in due course.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">This release contains &#8220;forward looking statements&#8221;&#8212;that is, statements related to future, not past, events&#8212;as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that reflect the Company&#8217;s current expectations regarding its future growth, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, performance, business prospects and opportunities, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, its management. Forward looking statements include any statement that does not directly relate to a current or historical fact. The Company has tried to identify forward looking statements by using words such as &#8220;anticipate,&#8221; &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;expect,&#8221; &#8220;intend,&#8221; &#8220;will,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;plan&#8221; and similar expressions, but these words are not the exclusive means of identifying forward looking statements.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">The Company&#8217;s forward-looking statements may include or relate to the Company&#8217;s beliefs, expectations, plans and/or assumptions with respect to the future of the Company&#8217;s operations and its ability to continue to execute on its strategies and grow its business organically. These statements are based on information currently available to the Company and are subject to various risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the Company&#8217;s actual growth, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, performance, business prospects and opportunities to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these statements including, but not limited to, those set forth under the caption &#8220;Risk Factors&#8221; in Part I, Item 1A of the Company&#8217;s most recently filed Form 10-K and the Company&#8217;s other filings with the SEC. The Company is under no duty to update any of these statements. You should not consider any list of such factors to be an exhaustive statement of all of the risks, uncertainties or other factors that could cause the Company&#8217;s current beliefs, expectations, plans and/or assumptions to change. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a predictor of actual results.</p>
