Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 4, 2025, Broadwind Heavy Fabrications, Inc. (the “Seller”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Broadwind, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Wisconsin Heavy Fabrication, LLC (the “Buyer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of IES Holdings, Inc., pursuant to which the Seller agreed to sell certain assets used in its production facility located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin (the “Facility”), including specified contracts, equipment, machinery and other personal property, and permits (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”), to the Buyer for an aggregate purchase price of up to $13,800,000.00 in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments, plus the assumption of certain liabilities for certain taxes and arising out of the purchased contracts and the post-closing ownership of the Purchased Assets (the “Transaction”).

A portion of the purchase price, $7,000,000.00 (the “Signing Payment”), was delivered into escrow by the Buyer upon execution of the Purchase Agreement. The Signing Payment will be held in escrow pursuant to the terms of an Escrow Agreement by and among the Seller, the Buyer and U.S. Bank, as the escrow agent, and will be released to the Seller upon the consummation of the Transaction. In addition to the Signing Payment, the Seller will receive at the closing (i) $6,800,000.00 if closing occurs before July 31, 2025, (ii) $6,500,000.00 if closing occurs after July 31, 2025, but before August, 31, 2025, or (iii) $6,000,000.00 if closing occurs after August 31, 2025.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Seller and the Buyer. The Seller’s representations and warranties survive until the 18-month anniversary of the closing date of the Transaction, except for certain fundamental representations and warranties, which survive until the 120th day after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for each respective fundamental representation and warranty (taking into account any tolling periods and other extensions). The Purchase Agreement also contains customary covenants and agreements by and among the parties, as well as customary mutual indemnification obligations.

The closing of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including, without limitation, the Seller’s completion of its outstanding orders at the Facility, the continued employment of employees located at the Facility, and the Buyer’s satisfactory completion of its due diligence of relevant customers.

In connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, (i) the Seller entered into a Lease Termination and Reinstatement Agreement with the landlord of the Facility (the “Landlord”), providing for the termination of the (x) Amended and Restated Industrial Lease Agreement Fabrication Building, dated December 31, 2024, between the Seller and the Landlord (“Lease 1”), (y) Amended and Restated Industrial Lease Agreement – Buildings 101, 102 and 103, dated December 31, 2024, between the Seller and the Landlord (“Lease 2”), and (z) Amended and Restated Industrial Lease Agreement – Buildings 104, 106, 120, 125, 128, 129, 130, 131, 143, 144, dated December 31, 2024, between the Seller and the Landlord (“Lease 3”) (Lease 1, Lease 2, and Lease 3 collectively, the “Leases”), (ii) the Buyer entered into a new lease agreement with the Landlord for the Facility (the “New Lease”), and (iii) the Seller entered into a sublease with the Buyer, pursuant to which the Seller will sublease the Facility from the Buyer until the closing of the Transaction (the “Sublease”). If the Purchase Agreement is terminated prior to the consummation of the Transaction, the New Lease and the Sublease will be terminated, and the Leases will be reinstated.

The term of the Sublease commenced on June 4, 2025, and expires on the earlier of (i) midnight on August 31, 2025, (ii) the date that the Seller vacates the Facility, or (iii) the termination of the Purchase Agreement. The Seller will pay monthly base rent to the Buyer in the amount of $82,227.00, plus the Seller’s share of common area maintenance charges and real estate taxes, during the term of the Sublease. The Sublease incorporates the terms and conditions of the New Lease by reference and applies such terms and conditions to the Seller.

The Company anticipates that the closing of the Transaction will occur in the third quarter of 2025, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable closing conditions. There can be no assurances as to the timing of the actual closing of the Transaction.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Sublease are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement and the Sublease. The Company intends to file copies of the Purchase Agreement and the Sublease as exhibits to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

The Seller conditionally terminated the Leases in connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement. See Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) for a discussion of the termination of the Leases, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.02 disclosure.
