WM Argyle Fund Files Preliminary Proxy Materials for the Election of Directors at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Broadwind, Inc.

MILWAUKEE, March 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WM Argyle Fund, LLC (the “Fund”), an investment fund created to invest in and revitalize Broadwind, Inc. (NASDAQ: BWEN) (“Broadwind” or the “Company”), today announced that it has filed preliminary proxy materials with the SEC proposing the election of its nominees to the Broadwind Board of Directors (the "Broadwind Board") at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

On January 18, 2023, the Fund announced its intention to nominate six new directors to the Broadwind Board, stating its belief that Broadwind had demonstrated chronic underperformance, made value-destroying strategic errors, and granted excessive compensation to its top executives. The Fund also stated its view that Broadwind has exceptional potential to create value for the benefit all shareholders in the years ahead with a reconstituted Broadwind Board and strategy for renewal.

Since that time, many shareholders have expressed support and encouragement for the Fund’s efforts, welcoming the opportunity to bring fresh leadership, insight and experience to the Broadwind Board. Shareholders also acknowledged the value of continuity and institutional knowledge as the Broadwind Board develops a strategy to reinvigorate the Company and achieve sustained profitability. Accordingly, based on such feedback, the Fund has reduced the number of its proposed nominees to three nominees for election to the six-member Broadwind Board, consisting of the following: Christine Candela, James Robinson and Ryan Bogenschneider.

The Fund believes its nominees are highly qualified and possesses the right mix of skills and experience to ensure that the Broadwind Board takes the right steps to provide accountability and enhance shareholder value.

While the Fund remains open to working with the Company to find a resolution that is in the best interests of stockholders, it will continue to engage with fellow stockholders and present more information on its nominees in the weeks ahead.
