(1) In addition, pursuant to Rule 416(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this registration statement on Form S-8 (this "Registration Statement") also covers an indeterminate amount of interests of Broadwind, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Registrant"), to be offered or sold pursuant to the Broadwind, Inc. Employees' 401(k) Plan (the "Plan"). In accordance with Rule 457(h)(2) under the Securities Act, no separate fee calculation is required for such interests.
(2) Represents the Registrant's shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), underlying the Plan. Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act, this Registration Statement also covers such additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the Plan.
(3) This Registration Statement is being filed by the Company to register 600,000 additional shares issuable under the Plan (the "Additional Shares"). The Additional Shares are being registered in addition to the Common Stock previously registered for issuance under the Plan by registration statements on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 27, 2018 (
File No. 333-223260
), February 26, 2019 (
File No. 333-229875
) and October 29, 2019 (
File No. 333-234361
) (collectively, the "Prior Registration Statements").
(4) Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(c) and Rule 457(h) promulgated under the Securities Act, using the average of the high and low prices as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market on November 4, 2021.
(5) The Series A Junior Participating Preferred Share Purchase Rights (the "Series A Rights") are initially carried with the shares of Common Stock. The value attributable to such rights, if any, is reflected in the market price of the shares of Common Stock.
