What Happens if Additional Matters are Presented at the Annual Meeting?

Other than the items of business
described in this Proxy Statement, we are not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. If you submit a signed
proxy card, the persons named as proxy holders, Mr. Michael Pruitt and Ms. Kathleen Weisberg, will have the discretion to vote your shares
on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting. If for any unforeseen reason any of our nominees becomes
unavailable as a candidate for director, the persons named as proxy holders will vote your proxy for such other candidate or candidates
as may be nominated by the Board.

What is “householding” and how does it affect me?

Record holders who have the same
address and last name will receive only one copy of their proxy materials, unless we are notified that one or more of these record holders
wishes to continue receiving individual copies. This procedure will reduce our printing costs and postage fees. Shareholders who participate
in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards.

If you are eligible for householding,
but you and other record holders with whom you share an address, receive multiple copies of these proxy materials, or if you hold Forward
stock in more than one account, and in either case you wish to receive only a single copy of each of these documents for your household,
please contact our Corporate Secretary at: Forward Industries, Inc., 700 Veterans Memorial Highway, Suite 100, Hauppauge, New York 11788
or (631) 547-3041.

If you participate in householding
and wish to receive a separate copy of these proxy materials, or if you do not wish to continue to participate in householding and prefer
to receive separate copies of these documents in the future, please contact our Corporate Secretary as indicated above. Beneficial owners
can request information about householding from their brokers, banks or other holders of record.
