 Our Bylaws include advance notice provisions that require shareholders desiring to recommend or nominate individuals to the Board or who wish to present a proposal at the 2026 Meeting must do so in accordance with the terms of the advance notice provisions. For a shareholder proposal or a nomination that is not intended to be included in Forward’s Proxy Statement and proxy card under Rule 14a-8, our Corporate Secretary must receive the written proposal no earlier than March 11, 2026 and no later than April 10, 2026 (assuming this year’s meeting is August 8, 2025); Provided, however, that in the event that the 2026 Meeting is changed more than 30 days before or after such anniversary date, the proposal must be received no earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the 2026 Meeting and not later than the 90th date prior to the Meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Company. If a shareholder fails to meet these deadlines and fails to satisfy the requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, we may exercise discretionary voting authority under proxies we solicit to vote on any such proposal as we determine appropriate. Your notice must contain the specific information set forth in our Bylaws. |
