Insights

Large holder backs Schwab-Forge deal with voting lock-up.

Motive-affiliated holders report beneficial ownership of 2,107,775 shares (15.50%), calculated on 13,601,362 shares outstanding as of August 6, 2025. The structure spans multiple funds and an aggregator, plus warrants held by the Sponsor. The filing consolidates control relationships while disclaiming ownership beyond pecuniary interests.

The Support Agreement dated November 5, 2025 commits these holders to vote for the Forge–Schwab merger, permit adjournments to obtain votes, and restrict share transfers, proxies, and inconsistent agreements, subject to stated exceptions. This can concentrate voting power in favor of the transaction.

Outcome hinges on broader shareholder approvals and closing conditions under the merger agreement. If the agreement terminates or the board changes its recommendation, the support commitment ends.
