[Form 4/A] Forward Industries, Inc. Amended Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Forward Industries received a significant PIPE investment led by Multicoin. Multicoin Capital Master Fund, LP acquired 7,947,843 shares for an aggregate $114,040,000 and Pyahm Samani separately purchased 1,351,352 shares for $25,000,000, both at $18.50 per share. In addition, the lead investor received 4,458,796 pre-funded warrants exercisable into the same number of shares at $0.01 per share, equal to 5% of PIPE securities.

The warrants carry price-based vesting triggers tied to the public share price (150%/200%/250% of the $18.50 purchase price for 20 of 30 trading days after the resale registration statement is effective) and include a 9.99% ownership blocker (adjustable up to 19.99% with 61 days' notice). The filing is an amendment to add additional reporting persons and discloses board designation rights for Multicoin.

Positive

• Significant capital infusion: MCMF LP purchased 7,947,843 shares for an aggregate $114,040,000
• Founder's/insider participation: Pyahm Samani purchased 1,351,352 shares for $25,000,000, aligning insider interests with investors
• Lead investor alignment and governance: Multicoin secured a board designee under the Lead Investor Agreement
• Resale registration commitment: Registration Rights Agreement was entered, enabling eventual liquidity for PIPE investors

Negative

• Potential dilution: 4,458,796 pre-funded warrants could convert into common shares upon satisfying stock-price vesting conditions
• Conditional warrant exercise: Vesting requires the share price to reach 150%/200%/250% of $18.50 for 20 of 30 trading days, creating timing uncertainty for dilution
• Ownership blocker: A 9.99% exercise limitation could constrain immediate conversion and may require notice to adjust (up to 19.99%)
• Deemed beneficial ownership complexities: Advisory and control relationships lead to disclaimers and could complicate clear ownership attribution

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Large PIPE investment materially increases institutional stake and provides deep-pocket support, but dilution and conditional warrant vesting matter.

The transaction shows a sizeable capital infusion: $114.04M from MCMF LP plus $25.0M from Mr. Samani, indicating strong investor conviction and immediate liquidity for Forward Industries. The issuance of 4,458,796 pre-funded warrants at $0.01 effectively represents additional potential common shares subject to performance-based vesting conditions tied to substantial share-price appreciation milestones. The 9.99% exercise blocker limits immediate ownership concentration, and the registration-rights provisions imply the company will file resale registration to enable secondary liquidity. For modelers, include potential dilution from warrants and the timing uncertainty around exercise tied to trading-price hurdles.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Multicoin secures governance influence via a board designee and reporting person additions, while disclaimers limit stated beneficial ownership.

The Lead Investor Agreement appoints Mr. Samani as a Multicoin designee to the board, formally aligning investor oversight with capital commitment. The filing disclaims beneficial ownership by certain reporting entities while noting deeming rules under Rule 16a-1(a) due to advisory relationships and control positions, which is standard practice to clarify voting and pecuniary interests. The amendment purely adds reporting persons and does not change economic terms previously disclosed.

5. Pursuant to the Lead Investor Agreement (as defined below), Mr. Samani was appointed as a Multicoin designee to the board of directors of the Issuer, and as a result, each of the other Reporting Persons may be deemed directors by deputization for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

In connection with the PIPE, MCMF LP entered into a Lead Investor Agreement (the "Lead Investor Agreement") with the Issuer and another investor in the PIPE, pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to issue MCMF LP an aggregate number of warrants to purchase 4,458,796 of shares of the Common Stock (the "Lead Investor Warrants") equal to 5% of the securities issued in the PIPE. Also, in connection with the PIPE, the Issuer and the PIPE Investors entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated September 6, 2025 (the "Registration Rights Agreement").

10. As a result of the Blocker, as of the date hereof, any attempted exercise of the Lead Investor Warrants beneficially owned by Reporting Persons will not be effected by the Company. Upon 61 days' prior notice to the Issuer, each holder of Lead Investors Warrant may increase or decrease the Blocker, provided that the Blocker in no event exceeds 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

11. The Lead Investor Warrants do not expire.

Remarks:

This Form 4/A amends the Form 4 filing dated September 12, 2025 (the "Original Form"), solely in order to add MCMF LP, Mr. Samani, and Mr. Jain as additional reporting persons.
