Forward Industries, Inc. filed an amended insider ownership report showing that J Digital 6 Cayman Ltd. holds 7,947,843 shares of Common Stock directly and a warrant linked to 4,458,796 additional shares at an exercise price of $0.0100 per share.
The warrant has no expiration date and becomes exercisable in three equal tranches only if the stock trades at or above $27.75, $37.00, and $46.25 for 20 out of 30 trading days at each level. J Digital 6 Cayman Ltd. is owned through a chain of entities ultimately controlled by William DiSomma and Paul Gurinas, who may be deemed to beneficially own these holdings, and also may be deemed to beneficially own 100 additional shares held by Jump Trading, LLC.
The filing notes that the warrant cannot be exercised if doing so would cause J Digital 6 Cayman Ltd. and its affiliates to beneficially own more than 9.99% of Forward Industries’ outstanding Common Stock. The reporting entities are treated as directors by deputization through Saurabh Sharma’s service on the board.
Forward Industries, Inc. entered a Securities Repurchase Agreement to buy back 6,164,324 common shares for approximately $27.4 million from an institutional investor, reducing shares outstanding from 83,142,133 to 76,977,809. Management highlights this as increasing SOL-per-share and returning a large block of stock to treasury.
To fund the repurchase, the company executed a Master Digital Currency Loan Agreement with Galaxy Digital LLC, borrowing $40,000,000 at a weighted average annual interest rate of about 3.4% and a weighted average maturity of 4.9 months, secured by fwdSOL treasury holdings and subject to strict overcollateralization and margin call terms.
Forward reports SOL holdings rising to 7,013,536 and fully diluted shares declining to 105,894,207, increasing SOL-per-share from 0.0624 to 0.0662. The company also launched a cost reduction plan, forecasting SG&A (excluding stock-based compensation and design segment SG&A) to fall about 45% from $6.5 million in fiscal Q1 to an estimated $3.6 million by fiscal Q3 through lower fees and operational efficiencies.
