Irenic Expresses Governance Concerns Pertaining to Forward Air Corporation

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Irenic Capital Management, LP (collectively with its affiliates, “Irenic” or “we”) today issued the below statement regarding Forward Air Corporation (NASDAQ: FWRD) (“Forward Air” or the “Company”). Irenic intends to vote against certain legacy members of Forward Air’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (“Annual Meeting”).

"Based on Irenic’s independent analysis, we agree with Ancora Holdings Group’s decision to withhold support for certain legacy directors at Forward Air’s Annual Meeting. Forward Air’s legacy directors circumvented the requirement to give shareholders a vote on the acquisition of Omni Logistics LLC in 2023. The Legacy Forward Air Board’s maneuvers undermined the shareholder franchise on which the legitimacy of Board-led governance rests. While we respect these three directors as individuals, Forward Air’s legacy directors, who usurped authority that properly belongs to shareholders, should have no role in the Company’s governance today."
