    Company Expects to Take Equity Stake in Superstate to Advance Internet Capital Markets and Give Shareholders Ownership in the RWA Industry

    Forward Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:FORD) (the "Company" or "Forward Industries"), a leading Solana treasury company, today announced it has partnered with financial technology firm Superstate to allow stockholders to tokenize and hold FORD shares on the Solana blockchain. As part of the agreement, Forward Industries expects to take an equity stake in Superstate to further align interests and enable joint development of upcoming Superstate products, underscoring the Company's commitment to pioneering on-chain capital markets activities.

    Upon launch, shareholders will be able to tokenize their public shares of Forward Industries' common stock through Superstate's Opening Bell platform. The partnership is expected to expand the Company's traditional equity by leveraging the Solana blockchain to enable 24/7 trading, real-time settlement, and enhanced global liquidity of FORD.

    Building on the tokenization of FORD shares, the Company is working with Drift, Kamino, and Jupiter Lend—three of the largest borrowing and lending protocols on Solana—to establish tokenized FORD equity as eligible collateral across their systems.

    "This partnership reflects the continued execution of our vision to make Forward Industries an on-chain-first company, including tokenizing our equity directly on the Solana mainnet," said Kyle Samani, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Forward Industries. "By bringing public shares of FORD onto the Opening Bell platform and taking an equity stake in Superstate, we are reinforcing our conviction that Solana will sit at the core of capital markets while giving our shareholders direct participation in the future tokenized economy."

    "Through Superstate Opening Bell, Forward's common shares will be tokenized on Solana, and shareholders will be able to bridge FORD between brokerage accounts and Solana," said Robert Leshner, CEO & Co-Founder of Superstate. "But this partnership marks something bigger; the origin of Solana becoming the home of capital markets for public companies. A new era of shareholder access and innovation is coming soon."

    Opening Bell, launched by Superstate in May 2025, is a regulated on-chain issuance platform enabling companies to issue tokenized public equity via blockchain infrastructure, making shares available on-chain, initially utilizing Solana. It allows compliant, programmable equity to participate in digital finance ecosystems.

    The partnership follows Forward Industries' $1.65 billion private investment in public equity ("PIPE") financing, which closed on September 11, 2025, as the largest Solana-focused digital asset treasury financing to date. The PIPE was led by Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital, which collectively subscribed to more than $350 million and agreed to provide ongoing strategic support alongside their capital commitments.
