This Statement on Schedule 13D relates to shares of Common Stock,
$0.01 par value per share (the "Shares"), of American Superconductor Corp. (the
"Issuer"). This Statement is being filed by the Reporting Persons (as defined
below) to report the transfer of the investment advisory contract between Soros
Fund Management ("SFM") and Quantum Fund N.V., a Netherlands Antilles company
("Quantum Fund"), whose principal operating subsidiary is Quantum Partners LDC,
a Cayman Islands exempted limited duration company ("Quantum Partners"),
pursuant to which SFM was granted investment discretion over portfolio
investments, including the Shares, held for the account of Quantum Partners. The
investment advisory contract has been transferred from SFM to Soros Fund
Management LLC ("SFM LLC"), a newly formed Delaware limited liability company.
As a result of this transfer, certain of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to
be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the outstanding Shares.
Item 1. Security and Issuer.
This Schedule 13D relates to the Shares. The address of the
principal executive offices of the Issuer is Two Technology Drive, Westborough,
Massachusetts 01581.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
This statement is being filed by SFM LLC, Mr. George Soros ("Mr.
Soros"), Mr. Stanley F. Druckenmiller ("Mr. Druckenmiller") and Duquesne Capital
Management L.L.C., a Pennsylvania limited liability company ("Duquesne LLC," and
together with SFM LLC, Mr. Soros and Mr. Druckenmiller, the "Reporting
Persons"). This statement relates to Shares held for the accounts of Quantum
Partners and the Duquesne LLC Clients (as defined herein).
Effective as of January 1, 1997, SFM, a sole proprietorship of
which Mr. Soros is the sole proprietor, transferred its investment advisory
contract with Quantum Fund to SFM LLC as part of a restructuring of the business
of SFM, which will now be conducted through SFM LLC. SFM LLC has its principal
office at 888 Seventh Avenue, 33rd Floor, New York, New York 10106. Its
principal business is to serve, pursuant to contract, as the principal
investment manager to several foreign investment companies (the "SFM Clients"),
including Quantum Fund and Quantum Partners. Each of Quantum Fund and Quantum
Partners has its principal office at Kaya Flamboyan 9, Willemstad, Curacao,
Netherlands Antilles. SFM LLC's contracts with SFM Clients generally provide
that SFM LLC is responsible for designing and implementing the SFM Clients'
overall investment strategies; for conducting direct portfolio management
strategies to the extent that SFM LLC determines that it is appropriate to
utilize its own portfolio management capabilities; for selecting, evaluating and
monitoring other investment advisors who manage separate portfolios on behalf of
SFM Clients; and for allocating and reallocating the SFM Clients' assets among
the outside managers and itself.
The business of SFM LLC is managed through a Management Committee
(the "Management Committee") comprised of Mr. Soros, Mr. Druckenmiller and Mr.
Gary Gladstein. Mr. Soros, as Chairman of SFM LLC, has the ability to direct the
investment decisions of SFM LLC and as such may be deemed to have investment
discretion over the securities held for the accounts of the SFM Clients. Mr.
Druckenmiller, as Lead Portfolio Manager of SFM LLC, has the ability to direct
the investment decisions of SFM LLC and as such may be deemed to have investment
discretion over the securities held for the accounts of the SFM Clients. Set
forth in Annex A hereto and incorporated by reference in response to this Item 2
and elsewhere in this Schedule 13D as applicable is a list of the Managing
Directors of SFM LLC.

Act, SFM LLC, Mr. Soros, in his capacity as Chairman of SFM LLC, and Mr.
