**Item 5.08 Shareholder Director Nominations.**

To the extent applicable, the information contained in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated into this Item 5.08 by reference.

**Item 8.01 Other Events.**

Forge Global Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") expects to hold its 2023 annual stockholder meeting (the "2023 Annual Meeting") on June 14, 2023.

Because the date of the 2023 Annual Meeting differs by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the 2022 extraordinary general meeting held in lieu of the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders (the "2022 Annual Meeting"), the Company has set a deadline of April 3, 2023 for the receipt of any stockholder proposals for inclusion in the proxy materials to be distributed in connection with the 2023 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), which the Company believes to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and distribute its proxy materials for the 2023 Annual Meeting. Any Exchange Act Rule 14a-8 proposal received after this date will be considered untimely. Stockholders should send any such proposal to Forge Global Holdings, Inc., 415 Mission Street, Suite 5510, San Francisco, CA 94105, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Such proposal must comply with all applicable requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including Exchange Act Rule 14a-8, and the Company's bylaws (the "Bylaws") in order to be eligible for inclusion in the Company's proxy materials for the 2023 Annual Meeting.

In addition, pursuant to the Bylaws, stockholders of the Company who wish to bring business before the 2023 Annual Meeting outside of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act or to nominate a person for election as a director must ensure that written notice of such proposal or nomination (including all of the information specified in the Bylaws) is received by the Company's Corporate Secretary at the address specified above no later than the close of business on April 3, 2023, which is the 10th day following the date on which the public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by this Form 8-K. Any such proposal or nomination must meet the requirements set forth in the Bylaws in order to be brought before the 2023 Annual Meeting. Pursuant to the Bylaws and Rule 14a-5(f) of the Exchange Act, the Company is hereby providing notice of the revised deadlines for such proposals via this Form 8-K.

Please note that an adjournment, rescheduling or postponement of the expected 2023 Annual Meeting date, or any announcement of such action, will not commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for giving such notice under the Bylaws or submitting a proposal pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 14a-8.
