are one of the largest stockholders of Broadwind, holding a 207,200 share stake in the Company. We built this position after watching
the Company underperform for many years despite its potential. Over the last eight months, we have been trying to work with the
Company's Board of Directors (the &quot;Board&quot;) to discuss significant performance issues that we believe must be addressed
so the Company can achieve its potential. Namely, they have not acted with urgency to make the Company profitable, are burning
cash at an unsustainable rate, have diluted stockholders through equity raises and have incurred debt to fund the cash burn. Unfortunately,
they have not been willing to engage in substantive discussions with us regarding these issues.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 8pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">While
the two-year, $175 million wind tower order is welcome news, the Board has not demonstrated a track record of success that would
make us believe they can capitalize on the opportunities presented by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Broadwind's fabrication
business has historically been the best performing business unit; however, it could not offset the bloated overhead and losses
generated by the other business units. We believe there is significant execution risk moving forward, and we question the Board's
ability to manage all aspects of the Company to the benefit of its stockholders.</FONT></P>

decision to nominate a slate of director candidates is about creating sustained value for all Broadwind stockholders. To be clear,
we are not seeking to acquire all or part of the Company. We are not seeking to take any steps that are counter to your interests.
We are investing our own energy, capital and time in a campaign to ignite a brighter future for all of the Company's stakeholders.</FONT></P>

director nominees have a track record of success and operational execution. They all have a background working at Bucyrus International.
Bucyrus was a successful global mining equipment company that was sold to Caterpillar (CAT) for $7.6 billion in 2011. Bucyrus
excelled at manufacturing large fabrications and gearing. These products are central to what Broadwind is built upon. Furthermore,
Bucyrus grew significantly in the span of a decade through organic growth and prudent acquisitions. This is the approach and track
record we can bring to Broadwind.</FONT></P>

The Company has not yet publicly disclosed the date, time and location of the Annual Meeting. Once the Company publicly discloses

rejecting consideration of Argyle's proposed nominees, the Board unilaterally appointed a new director on November 2, 2022. In
their rush to appoint a new director, they failed to find a candidate that brings new experience and simply duplicated experience
already found on the Board. We viewed this appointment as a reactionary decision by the Board that only served to underscore our
governance concerns, and on November 4, 2022, Argyle sent a letter to the Board expressing its disapproval of the appointment
of a new director without considering the potential nominees that Argyle had suggested.</FONT></P>

given the foregoing and Argyle's continued concern regarding the lack of substantive discussion and engagement with the Board,
on January&nbsp;18, 2023, Argyle delivered a notice to the Company, informing it of Argyle's intention to nominate six nominees
for election to the Board. On January&nbsp;18, 2023, Argyle also issued a press release and launched a website (www.bwen2023.com)
to provide Company stockholders with information as to why Argyle believes that electing its nominees to the Board would help
the Company turn around its performance and create long-term stockholder value.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 8pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">Generally,
broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker, bank or other nominee in &quot;street name&quot; for a beneficial owner are
not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker, bank or other nominee has not received voting instructions
from the beneficial owner and lacks discretionary voting power to vote those shares with respect to that particular proposal.
If your shares are held in the name of a brokerage firm, and the brokerage firm has not received voting instructions from you,
as the beneficial owner of such shares with respect to that proposal, the brokerage firm cannot vote such shares on that proposal
unless it is a &quot;routine&quot; matter. Under the rules and interpretations of the New York Stock Exchange, if you receive
proxy materials from or on behalf of both Argyle and the Company, brokers, banks and other nominees will not be permitted to exercise
discretionary authority regarding any of the proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, whether &quot;routine&quot; or not.
Because Argyle has initiated a contested proxy solicitation, there will be no &quot;routine&quot; matters at the Annual Meeting
for any broker accounts that are provided with proxy materials by Argyle. As a result, there will be no broker non-votes by such
banks, brokers or other nominees with respect to such accounts. If you do not submit any voting instructions to your broker, bank
or other nominee with respect to such accounts, your shares in such accounts will not be counted in determining the outcome of
any of the proposals at the Annual Meeting, nor will your shares be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists.</FONT></P>

solicitation of proxies pursuant to this proxy solicitation is being made by Argyle and the Nominees. Proxies may be solicited
by mail, facsimile, telephone, telegraph, Internet, in person and by advertisements or other widely circulated communications,
and proxies will be solicited from individuals, brokers, banks, bank nominees and other institutional holders. Argyle will solicit
proxies from individuals, brokers, banks, bank nominees and other institutional holders. Argyle has requested banks, brokerage
houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward all solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the shares
of Common Stock they hold of record. Argyle will reimburse these record holders for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in
so doing. It is anticipated that certain representatives of Argyle will also participate in the solicitation of proxies in support
of the Nominees. Such representatives will receive no additional consideration if they assist in the solicitation of proxies.</FONT></P>

has retained InvestorCom to provide solicitation and advisory services in connection with this solicitation. InvestorCom will
be paid a fee not to exceed $40,000 based upon the campaign services provided and the outcome of the solicitation. In addition,
Argyle will reimburse InvestorCom for certain documented, out-of-pocket fees and expenses and will indemnify InvestorCom against
certain liabilities and expenses, including certain liabilities under the federal securities laws. InvestorCom will solicit proxies
from individuals, brokers, banks, bank nominees and other institutional holders. It is anticipated that InvestorCom will employ

The Board, which will consist of the Nominees, if all are elected, would be required to evaluate the requested reimbursement consistent
with their fiduciary duties to the Company and its stockholders. Costs related to the solicitation of proxies include expenditures

SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (such as brokers and banks) to satisfy the delivery requirements
for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single
proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. Once you have received notice from your bank or broker that it will be householding
communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent.
If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and
annual report, please notify your bank or broker and direct your request to Broadwind, Attn: Corporate Secretary, 3240 South Central
Avenue, Cicero, IL 60804, or you may request a copy by telephone at 708-780-4800.</FONT></P>

Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and
