APC HISTORY

Three Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Lincoln Labs' electronic power engineersfounded American Power Conversion in 1981. At the time, the research and development efforts

of these three men were focused on solar power. Over the next few years, APC shifted its focusto power protection introducing its first UPS, the 750, in 1984. The need for capital to supportthis growing business was satisfied in July 1988 when APC became a publicly held company.The stock, trading under the symbol "APCC," was priced at $7.50, or $.125 per share whenadjusted for stock splits.

Over the years, APC has developed a global, end-to-end, product offering targeted at fourstrategic application areas: Home/Small Office; Business Networks; Access Providers; and DataCenters & Facilities. Internal product development has been augmented with strategicacquisitions to form an industry leading product portfolio. Throughout the world, the APC brandhas become synonymous with quality power back-up and management solutions.

KEY APPLICATION AREAS

Today, the Company focuses its efforts on four key application areas:

Home/Home Office Business Networks Access Provider Networks Data Centers and Facilities

Each requires customized efforts for products, sales and marketing, but each has a commontheme: high availability is increasingly essential. APC is positioning itself to be the preferredbrand worldwide in all four of these application areas.

RECOGNITION AND AWARDS

Over the years, APC has received hundreds of awards worldwide-- more than any other UPSmanufacturer. Such designations have recognized APC both for its reliable solutions and its

overall business performance. The company is among the most recent Fortune 1000 companiesand is part of the closely watched S&P 500 Index and the Nasdaq 100 Index. For its products,APC receives global recognition for its reliability and innovation.

Company History:

American Power Conversion Corporation (APC) designs and manufactures power protection andmanagement solutions for computer, communications, and electronic applications. APC helpscustomers overcome problems with erratic electricity, making a wide range of products thatserve as backup power supplies and analyze energy consumption and quality. The company'score product is an uninterruptible power supply device that regulates the flow of utility power.APC's uninterruptible power supply products range in price from $29.99 to $210,000. Thecompany manufactures its products in the United States, Brazil, China, India, Ireland, thePhilippines, and Switzerland.

Origins

APC began as a failure. The company was founded by three electronic power engineers from theMassachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), two of whom--Neil E. Rasmussen and Emanuel E.Landsman--remained with the company during its formative decades. Landsman spent 15 yearsat MIT's Lincoln Library before cofounding APC, working in the Space Communications Groupfrom 1966 to 1977 before joining the Energy Systems Engineering Group. Rasmussen joinedLandsman at the Energy Systems Engineering Group in 1979, spending two years there beforestarting APC. APC was founded to make solar power products, but the business idea began toshow its fallibility not long after APC was incorporated in March 1981.

The company floundered during its first months of existence, unable to find a product to sustainits operation and precariously reliant on government funding. In 1982, APC, in a desperate

attempt to stay alive, began making lead batteries, designing its batteries to serve as backuppower supplies to personal computers. The batteries were designed to provide temporary powerin the event of a momentary power blackout or surge, thereby giving the computer user time tosave data before it was otherwise lost. The foray into lead battery manufacture was a sidelineventure, but soon making backup power supplies became the central focus of the company. In1984, government funding and incentive programs for solar research began to disappear,portending the worst for APC. The company's management responded by introducing its firstuninterruptible power supply (UPS) product the same year. The 750, using a lead-acid battery,


11/17

provided power surge protection and backup power for personal computers, local area networks(LANs), and engineering workstations. The decision to shelve its solar power business and enterthe power protection business not only saved the company from bankruptcy but also moved itinto a market capable of creating a billion-in-sales company. APC became that company, the firstcompany to generate $1 billion in revenue by manufacturing and marketing UPS products.

When APC entered the UPS market, no one either outside or inside the company had any ideahow large the market for UPS products would become. The decision to enter the field was adecision to be relished in hindsight. Personal computer usage was in its infancy at the time of the750's introduction. Computer networking, the Internet, and other factors that fueled the growth ofthe UPS market trailed considerably further behind the maturation of the personal computermarket. The nascence of the markets that would come to depend on UPS technology helped APCconsiderably during its early years, allowing the company to secure a foothold without fear ofcompetition from large computer companies. Further, the technology inside the 750 and itssuccessors discouraged competition from another direction. The power supply of a UPSconsisted of a lead-acid battery, circuitry designed to even out surges and lulls in the power, and

a switch to detect a lapse in incoming power and automatically turn to the battery for backup.The electronic circuitry in the power supply discouraged conventional battery makers fromentering the business. APC was shielded from larger, more established competition by the natureof its business, allowed to operate freely in a market perceived to be too small to entice computercompanies and too sophisticated to seduce battery manufacturers into entering the fray.

Dowdell's Arrival in 1985

APC's advantageous position perhaps would have been worth nothing were it not for RodgerDowdell, Jr. Though not a founder of the company, Dowdell was a particularly important figurein APC's history. Dowdell joined APC as its president in August 1985, beginning an enduring

length of service that would see him preside over the company for more than two decades. Fornine months before his appointment as president, Dowdell worked as a consultant for APC,developing a marketing and production strategy for UPS products. Before that, he served a six-year term as president of Independent Energy, Inc., a maker of electronic temperature controls.

Dowdell's strength was in manufacturing. He knew how to achieve optimal efficiency inmanufacturing a product, a skill that would serve APC well as it established itself in its fledglingmarket and later as it contended with the pressures of a burgeoning market. Within months ofbecoming president, Dowdell directed the company's manufacturing operations to be movedfrom alongside Massachusetts Route 128 to Peacedale, Rhode Island. By moving to RhodeIsland, Dowdell gave the young APC several advantages. Tax incentives were part of thebenefits of a Rhode Island manufacturing base, where real estate was inexpensive and skilledlabor was available. Dowdell was an executive, not an engineer, and his emphasis on reducingoperating costs to increase profit margins helped APC gain its footing in a soon-to-be lucrativemarket. The company also was aided by a quality product. In 1986, the year APC relocated toRhode Island, the 750 was awarded the "Editor's Choice" award by the influential tradepublication PC Magazine. APC ended its fifth year of business with its product on the map andits manufacturing facility situated in an ideal geographic location.

During the latter half of the 1980s, the use of personal computers in corporate settings and thenetworking of personal computers proliferated. Data was flying from desktop to desktop inincreasing volume, its vulnerability to erratic electricity threatening a major crisis to any businessreliant on computers. Power protection was a necessity, and APC began to reap the rewards of itsleading position in a once miniscule market. To keep pace with the growth of its market and to

exploit it to its fullest potential, APC needed capital. Dowdell, realizing the need for an infusionof cash, decided to take APC public in 1988. In July, he completed the company's initial publicoffering, when the company's stock debuted on the NASDAQ for $7.50 per share.

The energetic growth of the markets APC served ignited APC's own growth. The company'ssales increased impressively during the latter half of the decade, rising from $400,000 in 1984 tomore than $35 million in 1989. Industry observers took notice of APC's advances and gave newmerit to the market for power protection. In 1989, Business Weekranked APC number four on itslist of the 100 "hottest" companies in the country, the same year Fortune listed the company asone of the ten "stock superstars of the 1990s" and Inc. ranked the company as number 40 on itslist of the 100 fastest-growing public companies in the country. APC had arrived, holding sway

with a 30 percent share of the backup power-supply market. Its products, ranging from a $2,000power supply for minicomputers to a $169 backup for desktops, were respected and coveted,putting the company in an ideal position to grab the lion's share of the power protection businessin the 1990s, a decade that would bring phenomenal growth to personal computers and relatedmarkets.

Becoming a Giant in the 1990s

The 1990s began with another move of the company's headquarters and an award to APC'sinfluential leader. In 1990, Inc. recognized Dowdell as the magazine's New England"Entrepreneur of the Year," the same year the company moved its headquarters to West

Kingston, Rhode Island. A look inside the company's new offices reflected Dowdell's focus onthe manufacturing side of APC's operations. The offices, with papers stacked on the floor andonly the bare minimum of furniture, belied the success the company was enjoying. All thetrappings of a company fast on the rise were found in its production plant, a facility outfittedwith an automated assembly line that placed and soldered components onto circuit boards. APC'sstrength was in its products, and as the 1990s began it possessed the products that would capturethe bulk of the decade's business. The company introduced its Smart-UPS brand in 1990, a lineof products that grew to become the industry's leading network power protection solution.

APC grew with ferocity during the 1990s, expanding its presence across the globe as salesskyrocketed. The company entered the surge protection market in 1991 and the UPS market formainframe computers the following year. In 1994, APC made its first move overseas, wheremost of the company's products would be produced in the future. The first plant was establishedin Galway, Ireland, and was followed by a plant in the Philippines in 1996. At the end of 1996,Dowdell announced he was planning to build seven new plants in 1997 at a cost of between $10million and $15 million each. His ambition was justifiable. The $35 million company that exitedthe 1980s generated $515 million in sales in 1995. A giant in the making, APC was seizing theopportunities produced by the terrific growth of the computer industry.


13/17

Exponential growth prompted Dowdell to push forward and expand APC's business scope. Asthe company built new manufacturing plants in Brazil, China, India, and elsewhere, its long-term leader sized up other avenues of growth for the company. In 1998, APC spent nearly $70million for Silicon A/S, a Denmark-based company that ranked as the third largest supplier ofUPS products in Europe. The acquisition gave the company products designed for systems that

used large amounts of electricity, such as those found at large data-storage centers andmainframe computer facilities. In 2000, Dowdell acquired EnergyOn.com, an Internet companythat allowed customers in deregulated energy markets to shop for the most inexpensiveelectricity and natural gas prices. The acquisition pointed APC in two new directions, toward e-commerce and toward the energy marketing business. In the years to come, the company wasexpected to continue to diversify its interests.

As APC made its way in the early years of the 21st century, it exuded enormous strength. Thepace of sales growth recorded during the first half of the 1990s continued during the late 1990s.In 1998, APC became the first company focused on UPS products to generate $1 billion in sales,posting $1.1 billion in revenue for the year. The company ended the decade with $1.3 billion in

sales and began to demonstrate less vigorous growth at the dawn of the 21st century, as recessiveeconomic conditions and a downturn in the technology sector delivered stinging blows. Despitethe absence of frenetic sales growth--difficult to achieve for a company of APC's size--thecompany stood strong in the early years of the century's first decade, fueling optimism for asuccessful future.

As APC neared its 25th anniversary, the company stood atop its industry. Revenues reachednearly $1.5 billion in 2003, a year that offered evidence of the company's prowess. In a surveyconducted by Computer Reseller News, solution providers selected APC as the winner in theUPS category. The company trounced its competition, emerging the favorite in 10 out of 11criteria used to judge performance and customer satisfaction. The company's dominance musthave provided satisfaction to Dowdell, whose tenure at APC had seen the march of UPS productsfrom the periphery of the computer industry to its center. On the company's web site in 2004,Dowdell reflected on the growth of the UPS market and APC's fortune to have abandoneddesigning solar power products. "In 1984, when we built our first UPS," Dowdell wrote, "I don'tthink anyone at APC could have imagined a better scenario for the company than what we areseeing today. Data has become money, and it is flying around the globe, without bounds, at anincredible rate of speed. As a company we could not have hoped for a better businessopportunity than one in which network downtime correlates to a loss of revenue."
