Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On June 5, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), American Superconductor Corporation (the “Company”) and Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. (the “Lender”) entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”), providing the Company with a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000, which was fully drawn on the Effective Date (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan is to be used for general corporate purposes.

The principal balance of the Term Loan bears interest at a floating per annum rate equal to 11% plus the percentage, if any, by which the prime rate exceeds 3.75%. The Company will make interest-only payments on the Term Loan beginning July 1, 2012 and continuing through November 1, 2012, after which the Company will repay the aggregate principal outstanding balance of the Term Loan in 26 equal monthly installments of principal, plus accrued interest at the applicable rate. The Term Loan matures on December 1, 2014.

Amounts outstanding under the Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s existing and future assets (excluding certain customary items, but including the Company’s intellectual property). In order to further secure all of the Company’s obligations to Lender under the Agreement, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ASC Devens LLC (“ASC”), will also be entering into a mortgage with respect to the property it has rights to located at 64 Jackson Road, Devens, Massachusetts 01434-4020. The Agreement requires the Company to maintain a balance of unrestricted cash or cash equivalents equal to the principal amount of the Term Loan outstanding at such time in accounts that are subject to a control agreement with Lender.

The Agreement also contains covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur or assume certain debt, merge or consolidate, materially change the nature of its business, make certain investments, acquire or dispose of certain assets, make guaranties or grant liens on its assets, make certain loans, advances or investments, declare dividends or make distributions or enter into transactions with affiliates. The events of default under the Agreement include, but are not limited to, failure to pay amounts due, breaches of covenants, bankruptcy events, cross defaults under other material indebtedness and the occurrence of a material adverse effect and/or change in control. In the case of a continuing event of default, the Lender may, among other remedies, declare due all unpaid principal amounts outstanding and any accrued but unpaid interest and foreclose on all collateral granted to the Lender as security under the Agreement. Two of the Company’s subsidiaries, ASC and Superconductivity, Inc., signed joinder agreements to the Agreement, whereby they agreed to be bound by certain terms and conditions as borrowers under the Agreement.

In connection with the Agreement, the Company issued a warrant (the “Warrant”) to the Lender to purchase 139,276 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $3.59 per share, subject to price-based anti-dilution and other adjustments as set forth in the Warrant. The Warrant is immediately exercisable and expires on December 5, 2017. The Company issued the Warrant in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On June 6, 2012, the Company announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 (“fiscal 2011”). The full text of the press release issued in connection with the announcement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The information in this Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 in connection with the Agreement is incorporated in this Item 2.03 by reference.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 in connection with the Warrant is incorporated in this Item 3.02 by reference.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On June 5, 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Company (or, in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, the Board of Directors), based on the established goals under the Company’s executive incentive plan for fiscal 2011, approved the award of cash bonuses for Daniel P. McGahn, David A. Henry, Timothy D. Poor and Susan J. DiCecco (the “Executive Officers”) as set forth in the table below under the heading “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation.” Other compensation for fiscal 2011 was previously reported by the Company in the Summary Compensation Table beginning on page 14 of the Company’s Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 13, 2012 (the “Form S-1”). As of the filing of the Form S-1, the fiscal 2011 cash bonuses for the Executive Officers had not been determined and, therefore, were omitted from the Summary Compensation Table included in the Form S-1. The total fiscal 2011 compensation for each Executive Officer reported in the Summary Compensation Table on page 14 of the Form S-1 has been recalculated to include the fiscal 2011 bonuses as follows:

SECTION 2. THE LOAN

2.1 Term Loan.

(a) Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender will make, and Borrower agrees to draw, a Term Advance of $10,000,000 on the Closing Date.

(b) Advance Request. To obtain the Term Advance, Borrower shall complete, sign and deliver an Advance Request and Term Note to Lender on the Closing Date. Lender shall fund the Term Advance in the manner requested by the Advance Request provided that each of the conditions precedent to such Term Advance is satisfied as of the requested Advance Date.

(c) Interest. The principal balance of the Term Advance shall bear interest thereon from such Advance Date at the Term Loan Interest Rate based on a year consisting of 360 days, with interest computed daily based on the actual number of days elapsed. The Term Loan Interest Rate will change on the date the Prime Rate changes from time to time, to the extent applicable.

(d) Payment. Borrower will make interest-only payments on the Term Advance, beginning July 1, 2012, and continuing through the expiration of the Interest-Only Period. Borrower shall repay the aggregate principal balance that is outstanding upon expiration of the Interest-Only Period in 26 equal monthly installments of principal, plus accrued interest (subject to any changes in the Term Loan Interest Rate pursuant to the terms hereof), beginning the first Business Day of the month after expiration of the Interest-Only Period, and continuing on the first Business Day of each month thereafter. The entire Term Loan principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest hereunder, shall be due and payable on Term Loan Maturity Date. Borrower shall make all payments under this Agreement without setoff, recoupment or deduction and regardless of any counterclaim or defense. Lender will initiate debit entries to Borrower’s account as authorized on the ACH Authorization on each payment date of all periodic obligations payable to Lender in respect of the Term Advance. Any interest not paid when due shall be added to principal and thereafter bear interest at the Term Loan Interest Rate, subject to increase, if applicable, pursuant to Section 2.3.

2.2 Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Notes, or any other Loan Document, it is the parties’ intent not to contract for, charge or receive interest at a rate that is greater than the maximum rate permissible by law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall deem applicable hereto (which under the laws of the State of California shall be deemed to be the laws relating to permissible rates of interest on commercial loans) (the “Maximum Rate”). If a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that Borrower has actually paid to Lender an amount of interest in excess of the amount that would have been payable if all of the Secured Obligations had at all times borne interest at the Maximum Rate, then such excess interest actually paid by Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of principal outstanding on the Notes; second, after all principal is repaid, to the payment of Lender’s accrued interest, costs, expenses, professional fees and any other Secured Obligations; and third, after all Secured Obligations are repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to Borrower.

2.3 Default Interest. In the event any payment is not paid on the scheduled payment date at no fault of the Lender, an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the past due amount shall be payable on demand. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default hereunder, all Secured Obligations, including principal, interest, compounded interest, and professional fees, shall, at Lender’s election, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the the Term Loan Interest Rate plus five percent (5%) per annum.

2.4 Prepayment. At its option upon at least 2 Business Days prior notice to Lender, Borrower may prepay all or any part of the outstanding Advance by paying the principal amount of the proposed prepayment, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, together with a prepayment charge equal to 3.0% of the amount being prepaid if such Advance amounts are prepaid in any of the first twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, (each, a “Prepayment Charge”). Borrower agrees that the Prepayment Charge is a

reasonable calculation of Lender’s lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an early repayment of the Advance. Borrower shall prepay the outstanding amount of all principal and accrued but unpaid interest through the prepayment date and the Prepayment Charge upon a Change in Control.

2.5 End of Term Charge. On the earliest to occur of (i) the Term Loan Maturity Date, (ii) the date that Borrower prepays the outstanding Secured Obligations, or (iii) the date that the Secured Obligations become due and payable, Borrower shall pay Lender a charge of $500,000. Notwithstanding the required payment date of such charge, it shall be deemed earned by Lender as of the Closing Date.

SECTION 3. SECURITY INTEREST

3.1 As security for the prompt, full and complete payment when due (whether on the payment dates or otherwise) of all the Secured Obligations, Borrower grants to Lender a security interest in all of Borrower’s right, title, and interest in and to the following personal property whether now owned or hereafter acquired, including the following (collectively, the “Collateral”): (a) Accounts and Receivables; (b) Equipment; (c) Fixtures; (d) General Intangibles; (e) Inventory; (f) Investment Property; (g) Deposit Accounts; (h) Cash; (i) Goods; and other tangible and intangible personal property of Borrower whether now or hereafter owned or existing, leased, consigned by or to, or acquired by, Borrower and wherever located; and, to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds of each of the foregoing and all accessions to, substitutions and replacements for, and rents, profits and products of each of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral does not include (i) more than 65% of the presently existing and hereafter arising issued and outstanding shares of capital stock owned by Borrower of any foreign Subsidiary which shares entitle the holder thereof to vote for directors or any other matter, and (ii) nonassignable licenses or contracts, which by their terms require the consent of the licensor thereof or another party (but only to the extent such prohibition on transfer is enforceable under applicable law, including, without limitation, Sections 9406 and 9408 of the UCC).

3.2 Upon payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement), Lender’s liens on any of the Collateral shall be automatically released and all rights in the Collateral shall revert to Borrower and Lender shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, promptly take such actions to evidence such release as may be reasonably requested by Borrower or its designee.

Additionally, any and all financial or business projections provided by Borrower to Lender shall be (i) provided in good faith and based on the most current data and information available to Borrower, and (ii) the most current of such projections provided to Borrower’s Board of Directors; provided, however, that Lender recognizes that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results.

In addition, any such representative shall have the right to meet with management and officers of Borrower to discuss such books of account and records. In addition, Lender shall be entitled at reasonable times and intervals to consult with and advise the management and officers of Borrower concerning significant business issues affecting Borrower. Such consultations shall not unreasonably interfere with Borrower’s business operations. The parties intend that the rights granted Lender shall constitute “management rights” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R Section 2510.3-101(d)(3)(ii), but that any advice, recommendations or participation by Lender with respect to any business issues shall not be deemed to give Lender, nor be deemed an exercise by Lender of, control over Borrower’s management or policies.

6.3 Further Assurances. Borrower shall from time to time, upon the reasonable request of Lender, execute, deliver and file, alone or with Lender, any financing statements, security agreements, collateral assignments, notices, control agreements, or other documents to perfect or give the highest priority to Lender’s Lien on the Collateral. Borrower shall from time to time procure any instruments or documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender, and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, to perfect and protect the Liens granted hereby and thereby. In addition, and for such purposes only, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to execute and deliver on behalf of Borrower and to file such financing statements, collateral assignments, notices, control agreements, security agreements and other similar documents without the signature of Borrower either in Lender’s name or in the name of Lender as agent and attorney-in-fact for Borrower. Borrower shall protect and defend Borrower’s title to the Collateral and Lender’s Lien thereon against all Persons claiming any interest adverse to Borrower or Lender other than Permitted Liens.

6.4 Insurance. Borrower shall cause to be carried and maintained commercial general liability insurance, on an occurrence form, against risks customarily insured against in Borrower’s line of business. Such risks shall include the risks of bodily injury, including death, property damage, personal injury, advertising injury, and contractual liability per the terms of the indemnification agreement found in Section 6.3. Borrower must maintain a minimum of $2,000,000 of commercial general liability insurance for each occurrence. Borrower has and agrees to maintain a minimum of $2,000,000 of directors and officers’ insurance for each occurrence and $3,000,000 in the aggregate. So long as there are any Secured Obligations outstanding, Borrower shall also cause to be carried and maintained insurance upon the Collateral as is customary for similarly situated entities, insuring against all risks of physical loss or damage howsoever caused, in an amount not less than the full replacement cost of the Collateral, provided that such insurance may be subject to standard exceptions and deductibles. Borrower shall also carry and maintain a fidelity insurance policy in an amount not less than $100,000. Borrower shall deliver to Lender certificates of insurance that evidence Borrower’s compliance with these insurance obligations. Borrower’s insurance certificate shall state Lender is an additional insured for commercial general liability, an additional insured and a loss payee for all risk property damage insurance, subject to the insurer’s approval, a loss payee for fidelity insurance, and a loss payee for property insurance and additional insured for liability insurance for any future insurance that Borrower may acquire from such insurer. Attached to the certificates of insurance will be additional insured endorsements for liability and lender’s loss payable endorsements for all risk property damage insurance and fidelity. All certificates of insurance will provide for a minimum of thirty (30) days advance written notice to Borrower of cancellation. Any failure of Lender to scrutinize such insurance certificates for compliance is not a waiver of any of Lender’s rights, all of which are reserved.

6.5 Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender and its officers, directors, employees, agents, in-house attorneys, representatives and shareholders (each such person, an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities (including such claims, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities based on liability in tort, including strict liability in tort), including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other costs of investigation or defense (including those incurred upon any appeal), that may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by Lender or any such Person as the result of credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or the administration of such credit, or in connection with or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder, or any actions or failures to act in connection therewith, or arising out of the disposition or utilization of the Collateral, excluding in all cases claims resulting solely from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Borrower agrees to pay, and to save Lender harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all excise, sales or other similar taxes (excluding taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of Lender) that may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or this Agreement.

6.6 Indebtedness. Borrower shall not create, incur, assume, guarantee or be or remain liable with respect to any Indebtedness, other than Permitted Indebtedness, or prepay any Indebtedness or take any actions which impose on Borrower an obligation to prepay any Indebtedness, other than Permitted Indebtedness pursuant to terms therein, except for the conversion of Indebtedness into equity securities, payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares in connection with such conversion, and as otherwise agreed in writing by Lender (including pursuant to any subordination, intercreditor or similar agreement), other than Permitted Indebtedness pursuant to terms therein,.

6.7 Encumbrances. Borrower shall keep its property free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens. Borrower shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to keep such Subsidiary’s property free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens.

Without Lender’s prior written consent, (a) Borrower shall not agree to amend any of the Heights Notes, or enter into any agreement that has the effect of amending the Heights Notes or any obligation of Borrower to pay any amount owing in connection with the Heights Notes or the Securities, as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement and (b) except as required by the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement or the Heights Notes, Borrower shall not pay any amount owing under the Heights Notes, whether by redemption or prepayment.

10.6 [Reserved]

10.7 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on Borrower and its permitted assigns (if any). Borrower shall not assign its obligations under this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents without Lender’s express prior written consent, and any such attempted assignment shall be void and of no effect. Lender may assign, transfer, or endorse its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with prior notice to Borrower, and all of such rights shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on Lender’s

successors and assigns; provided that as long as no Event of Default exists or is continuing, Lender may not assign, transfer or endorse its rights hereunder or under the Loan Documents to any party that is a direct competitor of Borrower, a distressed debt or vulture fund (each such term as reasonably defined by Lender), any holder of convertible notes or equity securities of Borrower or any party in material litigation with Borrower and so disclosed to Lender. Lender shall not engage in any short sales of the Borrower’s common stock.

10.8 Governing Law. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents have been negotiated and delivered to Lender in the State of California, and shall have been accepted by Lender in the State of California. Payment to Lender by Borrower of the Secured Obligations is due in the State of California. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, excluding conflict of laws principles that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction.

10.9 Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. All judicial proceedings (to the extent that the reference requirement of Section 10.10 is not applicable) arising in or under or related to this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents may be brought in any state or federal court located in the State of California.

Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

10.10 Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial / Judicial Reference.

(a) Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. EACH OF BORROWER AND LENDER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) ASSERTED BY BORROWER AGAINST LENDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE OR BY LENDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE AGAINST BORROWER. This waiver extends to all such Claims, including Claims that involve Persons other than Borrower and Lender; Claims that arise out of or are in any way connected to the relationship between Borrower and Lender; and any Claims for damages, breach of contract, tort, specific performance, or any equitable or legal relief of any kind, arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document.

(b) If the waiver of jury trial set forth in Section 10.10(a) is ineffective or unenforceable, the parties agree that all Claims shall be resolved by reference to a private judge sitting without a jury, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 638, before a mutually acceptable referee or, if the parties cannot agree, a referee selected by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California. Such proceeding shall be conducted in Santa Clara County, California, with California rules of evidence and discovery applicable to such proceeding.

(c) In the event Claims are to be resolved by judicial reference, either party may seek from a court identified in Section 10.9, any prejudgment order, writ or other relief and have such prejudgment order, writ or other relief enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law notwithstanding that all Claims are otherwise subject to resolution by judicial reference.

10.11 Professional Fees. Borrower promises to pay Lender’s fees and expenses necessary to finalize the loan documentation, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys fees, UCC searches,

filing costs, and other miscellaneous expenses. In addition, Borrower promises to pay any and all reasonable attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses (including fees and expenses of in-house counsel) incurred by Lender after the Closing Date in connection with or related to: (a) the Loan; (b) the administration, collection, or enforcement of the Loan; (c) the amendment or modification of the Loan Documents; (d) any waiver, consent, release, or termination under the Loan Documents; (e) the protection, preservation, sale, lease, liquidation, or disposition of Collateral or the exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral; (f) any legal, litigation, administrative, arbitration, or out of court proceeding in connection with or related to Borrower or the Collateral, and any appeal or review thereof; and (g) any bankruptcy, restructuring, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors, workout, foreclosure, or other action related to Borrower, the Collateral, the Loan Documents, including representing Lender in any adversary proceeding or contested matter commenced or continued by or on behalf of Borrower’s estate, and any appeal or review thereof.

10.12 Confidentiality. Lender acknowledges that certain items of Collateral and information provided to Lender by Borrower are confidential and proprietary information of Borrower, if and to the extent such information either (x) is marked as confidential by Borrower at the time of disclosure, or (y) should reasonably be understood to be confidential (the “Confidential Information”). Accordingly, Lender agrees that any Confidential Information it may obtain from the transactions contemplated hereunder or in the course of acquiring, administering, or perfecting Lender’s security interest in the Collateral shall not be disclosed to any other person or entity in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Borrower, except that Lender may disclose any such information: (a) to its own directors, officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other professional advisors and to its affiliates if Lender in its reasonable discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information in connection with such party’s responsibilities in connection with the Loan or this Agreement and, provided that such recipient of such Confidential Information either (i) agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of this paragraph or (ii) is otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions that reasonably protect against the disclosure of Confidential Information pursuant to similar terms; (b) if such information is generally available to the public; (c) if required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any governmental authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over Lender; (d) if required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, to the extent deemed necessary by Lender’s counsel; (e) to comply with any legal requirement or law applicable to Lender; (f) to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, including Lender’s sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral after default; (g) to any participant or assignee of Lender or any prospective participant or assignee; provided, that such participant or assignee or prospective participant or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by this Section prior to disclosure; or (h) otherwise with the prior consent of Borrower; provided that any disclosure made in violation of this Agreement shall not affect the obligation of Borrower under any of the Loan Documents.

10.13 Assignment of Rights. Borrower acknowledges and understands that Lender may, subject to Section 10.7, sell and assign all or part of its interest hereunder and under the Note(s) and Loan Documents to any person or entity (an “Assignee”). After such assignment the term “Lender” as used in the Loan Documents shall mean and include such Assignee, and such Assignee shall be vested with all rights, powers and remedies of Lender hereunder with respect to the interest so assigned; but with respect to any such interest not so transferred, Lender shall retain all rights, powers and remedies hereby given. No such assignment by Lender shall relieve Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder. Lender agrees that in the event of any transfer by it of the Note(s), it will endorse thereon a notation as to the portion of the principal of the Note(s), which shall have been paid at the time of such transfer and as to the date to which interest shall have been last paid thereon.

10.14 Termination; Revival of Secured Obligations. This Agreement and the Loan Documents (other than the Warrant) shall terminate on the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, this Agreement and the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective if any petition is filed by or against Borrower for liquidation or reorganization, if Borrower becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, if a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or any significant part of

Borrower’s assets, or if any payment or transfer of Collateral is recovered from Lender. The Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations and Collateral security shall continue to be effective, or shall be revived or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations or any transfer of Collateral to Lender, or any part thereof is rescinded, avoided or avoidable, reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by, or is recovered from, Lender or by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment, performance, or transfer of Collateral had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, avoided, avoidable, restored, returned, or recovered, the Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations shall be deemed, without any further action or documentation, to have been revived and reinstated except to the extent of the full, final, and indefeasible payment to Lender in Cash.

10.15 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

10.16 No Third Party Beneficiaries. No provisions of the Loan Documents are intended, nor will be interpreted, to provide or create any third-party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any person other than Lender and Borrower unless specifically provided otherwise herein, and, except as otherwise so provided, all provisions of the Loan Documents will be personal and solely between the Lender and Borrower.

10.17 Publicity. Lender may use Borrower’s name and logo, and include a brief description of the relationship between Borrower and Lender, in Lender’s marketing materials.

10.18 Termination. This Agreement, the Loan Documents (other than the Warrant) and the security interests granted hereunder shall terminate upon the payment in full of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations).

(SIGNATURES TO FOLLOW)

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower and Lender have duly executed and delivered this Loan and Security Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

WARRANT AGREEMENT

To Purchase Shares of Common Stock of

AMERICAN SUPERCONDUCTOR CORPORATION

Dated as of June 5, 2012 (the “Effective Date”)

WHEREAS, AMERICAN SUPERCONDUCTOR CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, has entered into a Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith (the “Loan Agreement”) with Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Warrantholder”);

WHEREAS, the Company (as defined below) desires to grant to Warrantholder, in consideration for, among other things, the financial accommodations provided for in the Loan Agreement, the right to purchase shares of Common Stock (as defined below) pursuant to this Warrant Agreement (the “Agreement”);

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Warrantholder executing and delivering the Loan Agreement and providing the financial accommodations contemplated therein, and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the Company and Warrantholder agree as follows:

SECTION 1. GRANT OF THE RIGHT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK.

For value received, the Company hereby grants to the Warrantholder, and the Warrantholder is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, to subscribe for and purchase, from the Company, an aggregate number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Common Stock equal to the quotient derived by dividing (a) $500,000 by (b) the Exercise Price (defined below), rounded to the nearest whole number of shares. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

“Adjustment Right” means any right granted with respect to any securities issued in connection with, or with respect to, any issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale in accordance with Section 8) of shares of Common Stock (other than rights of the type described in Sections 8(a), 8(d) or 8(f) hereof) that could result in a decrease in the net consideration received by the Company in connection with, or with respect to, such securities (including, without limitation, any cash settlement rights, cash adjustment or other similar rights).

“Company” means American Superconductor Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and any successor or surviving entity that assumes the obligations of the Company under this Warrant pursuant to Section 8(a).

“Charter” means the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or other constitutional document, as may be amended from time to time.

“Common Stock” means the Company’s common stock.

“Exercise Price” means $3.59, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 8.

“Merger Event” means any merger or consolidation involving the Company in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or in which the outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock are otherwise converted into or exchanged for shares of common stock, other securities or property of another entity.

“Purchase Price” means, with respect to any exercise of this Warrant, an amount equal to the Exercise Price as of the relevant time multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be exercised under this Warrant pursuant to such exercise.

SECTION 2. TERM OF THE AGREEMENT.

Except as otherwise provided for herein, the term of this Warrant and the right to purchase Common Stock as granted herein (the “Warrant”) shall commence on the Effective Date and shall be exercisable for a period ending on December 5, 2017.

SECTION 3. EXERCISE OF THE PURCHASE RIGHTS.

(a) Exercise. The purchase rights set forth in this Warrant are exercisable by the Warrantholder, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, prior to the expiration of the term set forth in Section 2, by tendering to the Company at its principal office a notice of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Notice of Exercise”), duly completed and executed. Promptly upon receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the payment of the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms set forth below, and in no event later than three (3) days thereafter, the Company shall issue to the Warrantholder a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock purchased and shall execute the acknowledgment of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II (the “Acknowledgment of Exercise”) indicating the number of shares which remain subject to future purchases, if any.

The Purchase Price may be paid at the Warrantholder’s election either (i) by cash or check, or (ii) by surrender of all or a portion of the Warrant for shares of Common Stock to be exercised under this Warrant and, if applicable, an amended Agreement representing the remaining number of shares purchasable hereunder, as determined below (“Net Issuance”). If the Warrantholder elects the Net Issuance method, the Company will issue Common Stock in accordance with the following formula:


		X =		Y(A-B)
				A


Where:	X =	the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Warrantholder.

	Y =	the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be exercised under this Warrant.

	A =	the fair market value of one (1) share of Common Stock at the time of issuance of such shares of Common Stock.

	B =	the Exercise Price.

For purposes of the above calculation, the fair market value of Common Stock shall mean with respect to each share of Common Stock:

(A) if the Common Stock is traded on a securities exchange, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices over a five (5) day period ending three days before the day the fair market value of the Common Stock is being determined; or

(B) if the Common Stock is traded over-the-counter, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid and asked prices quoted on the over-the-counter system over the five (5) day period ending three days before the day the fair market value of the Common Stock is being determined;

(ii) if at any time the Common Stock is not listed on any securities exchange or quoted in the over-the-counter market, the fair market value of Common Stock shall be the

highest price per share which the Company could obtain from a willing buyer (not a current employee or director) for shares of Common Stock sold by the Company, from authorized but unissued shares, as determined in good faith by its Board of Directors, unless the Company shall become subject to a Merger Event, in which case the fair market value of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the per share value received by the holders of the Company’s Common Stock on a common equivalent basis pursuant to such Merger Event.

Upon partial exercise by either cash or Net Issuance, the Company shall promptly issue an amended Agreement representing the remaining number of shares purchasable hereunder. All other terms and conditions of such amended Agreement shall be identical to those contained herein, including, but not limited to the Effective Date hereof.

(b) Exercise Prior to Expiration. To the extent this Warrant is not previously exercised as to all Common Stock subject hereto, and if the fair market value of one share of the Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price then in effect, this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised pursuant to Section 3(a) (even if not surrendered) immediately before its expiration. For purposes of such automatic exercise, the fair market value of one share of the Common Stock upon such expiration shall be determined pursuant to Section 3(a). To the extent this Warrant or any portion thereof is deemed automatically exercised pursuant to this Section 3(b), the Company agrees to promptly notify the Warrantholder of the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, the Warrantholder is to receive by reason of such automatic exercise.

SECTION 4. RESERVATION OF SHARES.

During the term of this Warrant, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights to purchase Common Stock as provided for herein.

SECTION 5. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES OR SCRIP.

No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.

SECTION 6. NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER/STOCKHOLDER.

This Warrant does not entitle the Warrantholder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder/stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise of this Warrant.

SECTION 7. WARRANTHOLDER REGISTRY.

The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the registered holder of this Warrant. Warrantholder’s initial address, for purposes of such registry, is set forth below Warrantholder’s signature on this Warrant. Warrantholder may change such address by giving written notice of such changed address to the Company.

SECTION 8. ADJUSTMENT RIGHTS.

The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment, as follows:

(a) Merger Event. If at any time there shall be a Merger Event, then, as a part of such Merger Event, lawful provision shall be made so that the Warrantholder shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property (collectively, “Reference Property”) that the Warrantholder would have received in connection with such Merger Event if Warrantholder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to the Merger Event. In any such case, if the term of this Warrant has not expired pursuant to Section 2 hereof, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors and reasonably

acceptable to the Warrantholder) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Warrantholder after the Merger Event to the end that the provisions of this Warrant (including adjustments of the Exercise Price and adjustments to ensure that the provisions of this Section 8 shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to the purchase rights under this Warrant in relation to any Reference Property thereafter acquirable upon exercise of such purchase rights) shall continue to be applicable in their entirety, and to the greatest extent possible. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Merger Event, upon the closing thereof, the successor or surviving entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant; provided that if the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of an entity other than the successor or purchasing company, as the case may be, in such Merger Event, then such other entity shall assume the obligations under this Warrant and any such assumption shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Warrantholder as reasonably necessary by reason of the foregoing (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors and reasonably acceptable to the Warrantholder). In connection with a Merger Event and upon Warrantholder’s written election to the Company, the Company shall cause this Warrant Agreement to be exchanged for the consideration that Warrantholder would have received if Warrantholder chose to exercise its right to have shares issued pursuant to the Net Issuance provisions of this Warrant Agreement without actually exercising such right, acquiring such shares and exchanging such shares for such consideration. The provisions of this Section 8(a) shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.

(b) Reclassification of Shares. Except for Merger Events subject to Section 8(a), and subject to Section 8(f), if the Company at any time shall, by combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of securities or otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such combination, reclassification, exchange, subdivision or other change. The provisions of this Section 8(b) shall similarly apply to successive combinations, reclassifications, exchanges, subdivisions or other changes.

(c) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time shall combine or subdivide its Common Stock, (i) in the case of a subdivision, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased, or (ii) in the case of a combination, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased.

(d) Stock Dividends. If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall:

(i) pay a dividend with respect to the Common Stock payable in Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution; or

(ii) make any other distribution with respect to Common Stock (or stock into which the Common Stock is convertible), except any distribution specifically provided for in any other clause of this Section 8, then, in each such case, provision shall be made by the Company such that the Warrantholder shall receive upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant a proportionate share of any such distribution as though it were the holder of the Common Stock (or other stock for which the Common Stock is convertible) as of the record date fixed for the determination of the stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such distribution.

(e) Adjustment Upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the Issue Date, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 8(e) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock

owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding (i) any Excluded Securities (as defined in that certain Series A Warrant to Purchase Common Stock issued by the Company to Capital Ventures International on April 4, 2012 (the “CV Warrant”)) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold and (ii) any securities issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of April 4, 2012 between Capital Ventures International and the Company or any instrument, agreement or document contemplated thereby, that certain Senior Convertible Note dated April 4, 2012 issued by the Company in favor of Capital Ventures International, or the CV Warrant) for consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Exercise Price then in effect is referred to as the “Applicable Price”, and the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”) (such number being appropriately adjusted to reflect the occurrence of any event described in Section 8(a)), then, immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product of (A) the Applicable Price and (B) the quotient determined by dividing (1) the sum of (I) the product derived by multiplying the Applicable Price and the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance plus (II) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance, by (2) the product derived by multiplying (I) the Applicable Price by (II) the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such Dilutive Issuance. For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Exercise Price, the consideration per share and the New Issuance Price under this Section 8(e)), the following shall be applicable:

(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 8(e)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option and (y) the lowest exercise price set forth in such Option for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person) upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Option (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 8(e)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security and (y) the lowest conversion price set forth in such Convertible Security for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Convertible

Security (or any other Person) upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Security plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 8(e), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options referred to in Section 8(e)(i), the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 8(e)(i) or 8(e)(ii), or the rate at which any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 8(e)(i) or 8(e)(ii) are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 8(e)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. On the expiration of any Options referred to in Section 8(e)(i) or any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 8(e)(ii), or the termination of any such right to exercise, convert or exchange such Options or Convertible Securities, the Applicable Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be increased to the Applicable Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Options or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued.

(iv) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Option or Convertible Security or Adjustment Right is issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, (x) such Option or Convertible Security (as applicable) or Adjustment Right (as applicable) will be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to the Black Scholes Consideration Value thereof and (y) the other securities issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received or receivable by the Company minus (II) the Black Scholes Consideration Value of each such Option or Convertible Security (as applicable) or Adjustment Right (as applicable). If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of such security for each of the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) trading days after the tenth (10th) day following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.

(v) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be).

(f) Notice of Adjustments. If: (i) the Company shall declare any dividend or distribution upon its stock, whether in stock, cash, property or other securities; (ii) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of any class of its Common Stock or other capital stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights; (iii) there shall be any Merger Event; (iv) the Company shall sell, lease, license or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its assets; or (v) there shall be any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then, in connection with each such event, the Company shall send to the Warrantholder written notice of the occurrence of any such event, setting forth, in reasonable detail, (i) the event requiring the notice, and (ii) if any adjustment is required to be made, (A) the amount of such adjustment, (B) the method by which such adjustment was calculated, (C) the adjusted Exercise Price (if the Exercise Price has been adjusted), and (D) the number of shares subject to purchase hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, or by reputable overnight courier with all charges prepaid, addressed to the Warrantholder at the address for Warrantholder set forth in the registry referred to in Section 7.

(g) Share Cap. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Warrant if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Warrant without conflicting with or breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market or other securities exchange upon which the Common Stock is listed.

SECTION 9. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

(a) Reservation of Common Stock. The Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrantholder’s rights has been duly and validly reserved and, when issued in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and will be free of any taxes, liens, charges or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever; provided, that the Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Warrant may be subject to restrictions on transfer under state and/or federal securities laws. The Company has made available to the Warrantholder true, correct and complete copies of its Charter and current bylaws. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Warrantholder for any issuance tax in respect thereof, or other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such exercise and the related issuance of shares of Common Stock; provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer and the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the Warrantholder.

(b) Due Authority. The execution and delivery by the Company of this Warrant and the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder, including the issuance to Warrantholder of the right to acquire the shares of Common Stock, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. This Warrant: (1) does not violate the Company’s Charter or current bylaws; (2) does not contravene any law or governmental rule, regulation or order applicable to it; and (3) does not and will not contravene any provision of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, contract or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound. This Warrant constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

(c) Consents and Approvals. No consent or approval of, giving of notice to, registration with, or taking of any other action in respect of any state, federal or other governmental authority or agency is required with respect to the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of its obligations under this Warrant, except as may be required pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), for the filing of notices pursuant to Regulation D under the Act and any filing required by applicable state securities law, which filings will be effective by the time required thereby.

(d) Exempt Transaction. Subject to the accuracy of the Warrantholder’s representations in Section 10, the issuance of the Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant, and the issuance of the Common Stock upon conversion of the Common Stock, will each constitute a transaction exempt from (i) the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Act, in reliance upon Section 4(2) thereof, and (ii) the qualification requirements of the applicable state securities laws.

(e) Compliance with Rule 144. If the Warrantholder proposes to sell Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC, then, upon Warrantholder’s written request to the Company, the Company shall furnish to the Warrantholder, within ten days after receipt of such request, a written statement regarding the Company’s compliance with the filing requirements of the SEC as set forth in such Rule, as such Rule may be amended from time to time.

rights to purchase Common Stock pursuant to this Warrant or (ii) the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the right to purchase under the Act is not in effect when it desires to sell (i) the rights to purchase Common Stock pursuant to this Warrant or (ii) the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the right to purchase, it may be required to hold such securities for an indefinite period. The Warrantholder also understands that any sale of (A) its rights hereunder to purchase Common Stock or (B) Common Stock issued or issuable hereunder which might be made by it in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Act may be made only in accordance with the terms and conditions of that Rule.

(e) Accredited Investor. The Warrantholder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of the Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act, as presently in effect.

The transfer of this Warrant shall be recorded on the books of the Company upon receipt by the Company of a notice of transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit III (the “Transfer Notice”), at its principal offices and the payment to the Company of all transfer taxes and other governmental charges imposed on such transfer.

(c) No Impairment of Rights. The Company will not, by amendment of its Charter or through any other means, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Warrantholder against impairment.

(n) Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial. Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND WARRANTHOLDER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) ASSERTED BY THE COMPANY AGAINST WARRANTHOLDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE OR BY WARRANTHOLDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE AGAINST THE COMPANY.

Such proceeding shall be conducted in Santa Clara County, California, with California rules of evidence and discovery applicable to such proceeding.

(p) Counterparts. This Warrant and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

(q) Specific Performance. The parties hereto hereby declare that it is impossible to measure in money the damages which will accrue to Warrantholder by reason of the Company’s failure to perform any of the obligations under this Warrant and agree that the terms of this Warrant shall be specifically enforceable by Warrantholder. If Warrantholder institutes any action or proceeding to specifically enforce the provisions hereof, any person against whom such action or proceeding is brought hereby waives the claim or defense therein that Warrantholder has an adequate remedy at law, and such person shall not offer in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that such remedy at law exists.

Exhibit 99.1

AMSC Reports Fourth Quarter and

Fiscal Year 2011 Financial Results

Company exceeds financial guidance and

announces new $10 million financing

Devens, MA – June 6, 2012 – AMSC (NASDAQ: AMSC), a global solutions provider serving wind and grid leaders, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2011 ended March 31, 2012.

Revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 were $28.6 million. This compares with $59.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and $18.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2011. The year-over-year decline is due primarily to a lack of revenue from AMSC’s former customer, Sinovel Wind Group Co., Ltd. (Sinovel), while the quarter-over-quarter increase was driven by growth in the company’s Wind and Grid reporting segments.

AMSC reported a net loss for the fourth fiscal quarter of $21.2 million, or $0.42 per share. For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, AMSC reported a net loss of $185.1 million, or $3.67 per share, which included $155.3 million in aggregate one-time asset write-downs, impairments and accrued charges. AMSC reported a net loss of $26.3 million, or $0.52 per share, for the third quarter of fiscal year 2011.

The company’s non-GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 was $15.1 million, or $0.30 per share. This compares with a non-GAAP net loss of $26.1 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and a non-GAAP net loss of $17.5 million, or $0.34 per share, for the third quarter of fiscal year 2011. Please refer to the financial table below for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results.

Revenues for the full year fiscal 2011 were $76.5 million, which compares with $286.6 million for full year fiscal 2010. The year-over-year decline is due primarily to a lack of revenue from Sinovel. AMSC reported a net loss for full year fiscal 2011 of $136.8 million, or $2.69 per share. For fiscal year 2010, AMSC reported a net loss of $186.3 million, or $3.95 per share. The company’s non-GAAP net loss for full year fiscal 2011 was $85.5 million, or $1.68 per share. This compares with a non-GAAP net loss of $12.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for fiscal year 2010.

AMSC’s cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash at March 31, 2012 totaled $66.2 million, well above the company’s $50 million forecast. This compares with $75.5 million as of December 31, 2011. Subsequent to March 31, 2012, AMSC raised an aggregate of $35 million in gross proceeds through the issuance of $25 million of 7% Senior Convertible Notes and a $10 million senior secured term loan (see details below).

AMSC Reports Q4 Results		Page 2

The company’s total backlog as of March 31, 2012 was approximately $291 million. This compares with approximately $300 million as of December 31, 2011. Approximately one-third of AMSC’s backlog on March 31, 2012 was scheduled to be delivered in fiscal year 2012.

“I am proud of the resiliency and resolve that we demonstrated throughout fiscal year 2011,” said AMSC President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel P. McGahn. “We restructured our business, diversified our revenue streams and significantly reduced our cost structure. Our fourth fiscal quarter proved to be a culmination of these efforts as we exceeded all of our financial objectives and maintained a healthy backlog. Now, with fiscal 2011 behind us and a bolstered balance sheet in place, we are focused on driving year-over-year growth, enhancing our gross margin and booking orders for shipment in late fiscal 2012 and early fiscal 2013.”

Further Strengthening Liquidity

AMSC announced today that, on June 5, 2012, it entered into a $10 million loan and security agreement with Hercules Technology Growth Capital. The company plans to pay interest only starting July 1, 2012 until November 1, 2012. At that time, AMSC plans to begin to repay the loan in equal monthly installments until maturity on December 1, 2014. The loan carries an interest rate of 11%, which will adjust upward if the prime rate increases by more than 50 basis points over the life of the loan. Upon prepayment in full or at maturity, AMSC will pay a success fee of $500,000. In addition, Hercules received warrants to purchase 139,276 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.59 per share. The warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on December 5, 2017. This loan follows a financing that AMSC completed in early April, which provided the company with $25 million in gross proceeds and an option for an additional $15 million in proceeds subject to certain conditions. For more information about the loan and security agreement, please refer to AMSC’s filing on Form 8-K today.

Looking Forward

“We expect fiscal year 2012 to be a period of continued progress at AMSC,” said McGahn. “AMSC is well positioned with a highly skilled global team and a set of solutions that allow our partners and customers to deliver smarter, cleaner … better energy. We believe these competencies and relationships provide the foundation we require to continue growing the business year over year, expanding our regional reach and working toward sustainable profitability.”

For the quarter ending June 30, 2012, AMSC expects that its revenues will exceed $26 million. AMSC expects that its net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 will be less than $10 million, or $0.19 per share, which includes a benefit of approximately $7 million for the settlement of adverse purchase commitments with certain vendors. AMSC expects that its non-GAAP net loss for the first fiscal quarter will be less than $13 million, or $0.25 per share. AMSC estimates that it will have approximately $85 million in cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash on June 30, 2012.

Any statements in this release about future expectations, plans and prospects for the company, including without limitation our prospects for future growth, expectations regarding the sufficiency of our existing cash balance, expectations regarding future financial results and liquidity and other statements containing the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “will” and similar expressions, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements represent management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. There are a number of important factors that could materially impact the value of our common stock or cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include: our success in addressing the wind energy market is dependent on the manufacturers that license our designs; we may not realize all of the sales expected from our backlog of orders and contracts; our business and operations would be adversely impacted in the event of a failure or security breach of our information technology infrastructure; our success is dependent upon attracting and retaining qualified personnel and our inability to do so could significantly damage our business and prospects; we rely upon third-party suppliers for the components and subassemblies of many of our Wind and Grid products, making us vulnerable to supply shortages and price fluctuations, which could harm our business; many of our revenue opportunities are dependent upon subcontractors and other business collaborators; if we fail to implement our business strategy successfully, our financial performance could be harmed; problems with product quality or product performance may cause us to incur warranty expenses and may damage our market reputation and prevent us from achieving increased sales and market share; our contracts with the U.S. government are subject to audit, modification or termination by the U.S. government and include certain other provisions in favor of the government—the continued funding of such contracts remains subject to annual congressional appropriation which, if not approved, could reduce our revenue and lower or eliminate our profit; we may acquire additional complementary businesses or technologies, which may require us to incur substantial costs for which we may never realize the anticipated benefits; many of our customers outside of the United States are, either directly or indirectly, related to governmental entities, and we could be adversely affected by violations of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws outside the United States; we have limited experience in marketing and selling our superconductor products and system-level solutions, and our failure to effectively market and sell our products and solutions could lower our revenue and cash flow; we have a history of operating losses, and we may incur additional losses in the future; our operating results may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and may fall below expectations in any particular fiscal quarter; we may require additional funding in the future and may be unable to raise capital when needed; our new debt obligations include certain covenants and other events of default—should we not comply with the covenants or incur an event of default, we may be required to repay our debt obligations in cash, which could have an adverse effect on our liquidity; we have recorded a liability for adverse purchase commitments with certain of our vendors—should we be required to settle these liabilities in cash, our liquidity could be adversely affected; if we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls over financial reporting, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired and may lead investors and other users to lose confidence in our financial data; we may be required to issue performance bonds or provide letters of credit, which restricts our ability to access any cash used as collateral for the bonds or letters of credit; changes in exchange rates could adversely affect our results from operations; growth of the wind energy market depends largely on the availability and size of government subsidies and economic incentives; we depend on sales to customers in China, and global conditions could negatively affect our operating results or limit our ability to expand our operations outside of China; changes in China’s political, social, regulatory and economic environment may affect our financial performance; our products face intense competition, which could limit our ability to acquire or retain customers; our international operations are subject to risks that we do not face in the United States, which could have an adverse effect on our operating results; adverse changes in domestic and global economic conditions could adversely affect our operating results; we may be unable to adequately prevent disclosure of trade secrets and other proprietary information; our patents may not provide meaningful protection for our technology, which could result in us losing some or all of our market position; the commercial uses of superconductor products are limited today, and a widespread commercial market for our products may not develop; there are a number of technological challenges that must be successfully addressed before our superconductor products can gain


AMSC Reports Q4 Results		Page 4

widespread commercial acceptance, and our inability to address such technological challenges could adversely affect our ability to acquire customers for our products; we have not manufactured our Amperium wire in commercial quantities, and a failure to manufacture our Amperium wire in commercial quantities at acceptable cost and quality levels would substantially limit our future revenue and profit potential; third parties have or may acquire patents that cover the materials, processes and technologies we use or may use in the future to manufacture our Amperium products, and our success depends on our ability to license such patents or other proprietary rights; our technology and products could infringe intellectual property rights of others, which may require costly litigation and, if we are not successful, could cause us to pay substantial damages and disrupt our business; we have filed a demand for arbitration and other lawsuits against our former largest customer, Sinovel, regarding amounts we contend are overdue—we cannot be certain as to the outcome of these proceedings; we have been named as a party to purported stockholder class actions and stockholder derivative complaints, and we may be named in additional litigation, all of which will require significant management time and attention, result in significant legal expenses and may result in an unfavorable outcome, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition; our 7% convertible note contains warrants and provisions that could limit our ability to repay the note in shares of common stock and should the note be repaid in stock, shareholders could experience significant dilution; our common stock has experienced, and may continue to experience, significant market price and volume fluctuations, which may prevent our stockholders from selling our common stock at a profit and could lead to costly litigation against us that could divert our management’s attention. Reference is made to many of these factors and others in the “Risk Factors” section of the company’s most recent quarterly or annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, any forward-looking statements included in this release represent the company’s expectations as of the date of this release. While the company anticipates that subsequent events and developments may cause the company’s views to change, the company specifically disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the company’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of this release.

Note: Non-GAAP net income (loss) is defined by the company as net income (loss) before goodwill and long-lived asset impairment; provisions for excess and obsolete inventory; adverse purchase commitments (recoveries) losses, net; write-off of prepaid value-added taxes, patent costs and advance payments; stock-based compensation; amortization of acquisition-related intangibles; restructuring and impairment charges; executive severance; Sinovel litigation; margin on zero cost-basis accounting; non-cash interest expense and other unusual charges; and any tax effects related to these items. The company believes non-GAAP net income (loss) assists management and investors in comparing the company’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding these non-cash or non-recurring charges that it does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance. The company also regards non-GAAP net income (loss) as a useful measure of operating performance and cash flow to complement operating income, net income (loss) and other GAAP financial performance measures. In addition, the company uses non-GAAP net (loss) income as a factor in evaluating management’s performance when determining incentive compensation and to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies.


AMSC Reports Q4 Results		Page 9

Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flow that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures included in this release, however, should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, operating income, cash flows, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP net income is set forth in the table above.
