What is the difference between holding shares as a record holder and as a beneficial owner?

If your shares are registered
in your name with our transfer agent, Equity Stock Transfer, you are the “record holder” of those shares. If you are a record
holder, these proxy materials have been provided directly to you by Forward.

If your shares are held in
a stock brokerage account, a bank or other holder of record, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of those shares held
in “street name.” If your shares are held in street name, these proxy materials have been forwarded to you by that organization.
As the beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct that organization on how to vote your shares.

Who May Attend the Virtual Meeting?

Record holders and beneficial
owners may attend the Special Meeting. If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you should refer to the voting instructions
provided by your brokerage firm, bank, or other holder of record. Beneficial owners may also attend and vote online during the Special
Meeting. We encourage you to vote your proxy by Internet, by phone or by mail prior to the meeting, even if you plan to attend the virtual Special Meeting.
