Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On April 24, 2008, Broadwind Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Badger Transport, Inc. (“Badger”) and the shareholders of Badger (the “Sellers”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Badger. Badger is a Clintonville, Wisconsin-based logistics hauler of wind tower structures, turbine assemblies, monopiles and other related equipment and components.

The purchase price for the acquisition consists of cash and shares of Company common stock (“Common Stock”). The cash portion of the purchase price is approximately $5,811,000. The Common Stock portion of the purchase price is fixed at 581,959 shares, which was calculated based on a price per share of $10.31, which represents the average of the closing sale price for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the date of signing. The purchase price is subject to a net working capital adjustment. Completion of the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions.

In connection with the acquisition of Badger, the Company will enter into an employment agreement with the President of Badger, Alan F. Johnson Jr., who will continue chief executive responsibilities for Badger as a subsidiary of the Company.

The Company will also enter into a registration rights agreement with the Sellers upon completion of the transaction providing certain limited piggyback registration rights with respect to resale of the shares issued to the Sellers under the Agreement.

The foregoing summary of the Badger acquisition does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
