American Superconductor Corporation Fiscal 2019 Executive Incentive Plan

Exhibit 10.1

Fiscal 2019 Executive Incentive Plan. On June 1, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of American Superconductor Corporation (the “Committee”) and the Board of Directors of American Superconductor Corporation (the “Company”) approved an executive incentive plan for the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2020 (“fiscal 2019”). Participants in the plan include the Company’s chief executive officer, all other current executive officers and James F. Maguire, a former executive officer who was a named executive officer in our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 15, 2018. Pursuant to the plan, each participant is designated a target cash incentive amount, expressed as a percentage of the participant’s base salary. The Committee is responsible for determining the payout under the plan to each participant except the chief executive officer. The Board of Directors of the Company determines the payout under the plan for the chief executive officer, taking into account the recommendation of the Committee.

The amount of the incentive award actually paid to each participant may be less than or greater than the participant’s target cash incentive, with the amount capped at 200% of the target incentive. For each participant, individual incentive awards will be determined following the end of fiscal 2019 based on the following factors and their corresponding weightings:

The following table sets forth the target cash incentive for fiscal 2019 for each current executive officer and Mr. Maguire:
