    Kyle Samani, Managing Partner of Multicoin Capital, to Become Chairman of the Board of Directors, Effective Upon the Closing of the Private Placement

    Private Placement is the Largest Solana-focused Digital Asset Treasury Company Raise to Date

    Forward Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:FORD) (the "Company" or "Forward Industries") today announced $1.65 billion in cash and stablecoin commitments for a private investment in public equity ("PIPE") offering led by Galaxy Digital (("Galaxy, NASDAQ:GLXY), Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital ("Multicoin") to initiate a Solana-focused digital asset treasury strategy, aligning the Company with the fast-growing Solana ecosystem. C/M Capital Partners, LP, one of the Company's largest existing shareholders, is also a participant in this transaction.

    Galaxy, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin will provide both capital and strategic support to help Forward Industries structure and execute its Solana treasury strategy and with the goal of positioning it as the leading publicly traded institutional participant in the Solana ecosystem. Leveraging this leading group of sponsors, Forward Industries aims to generate differentiated onchain returns and build long-term shareholder value through active participation in the Solana ecosystem.

    "Solana has emerged as one of the most innovative and widely adopted blockchain ecosystems in the world. Our strategy to build an active Solana treasury program underscores our conviction in the long-term potential of SOL and our commitment to building shareholder value by directly participating in its growth," said Michael Pruitt, Chief Executive Officer of Forward Industries. "Working with Galaxy, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin – firms with deep expertise and proven track records of investing and building in the Solana ecosystem – gives us a strong foundation to execute this strategy and position the Company as a key player within the digital assets space."

    Lead Investors

    The PIPE sponsors represent a strategic alliance among three of the leading firms in crypto.

    • Galaxy: As one of the largest Solana validators and one of the most scaled institutional digital asset platforms, Galaxy will offer its trading, lending, structuring, staking, and blockchain infrastructure services and solutions to the Company. Galaxy Asset Management, a division of Galaxy Digital, will also leverage its comprehensive suite of products and solutions, including advisory and risk management services, to actively manage Forward Industries' treasury strategy.
    • Jump Crypto: Jump Crypto is committed to building and standing up critical infrastructure needed to catalyze the growth of the crypto ecosystem. Jump Crypto is developing Firedancer, a second high performance validator client for Solana to increase its networking throughput, resilience, and efficiency. The firm is also a core engineering and networking contributor to DoubleZero and other critical infrastructure projects like Shelby. Jump Crypto are builders, partners, and traders who take a long-term view of crypto's prospects and operate to unlock the full potential of open, community-driven networks.
    • Multicoin: Founded in 2017, Multicoin is a thesis-driven investment firm that makes long-term, high-conviction investments in category-defining companies and protocols on behalf of sophisticated families, foundations, endowments, and institutional investors. Multicoin was the seed investor in Solana—leading the first three rounds prior to the network's launch in 2018—and has seeded over 25 projects within the ecosystem since.

    Board of Directors

    Upon the closing of the PIPE, Kyle Samani, co-Founder and Managing Partner of Multicoin, is expected to become Chairman of the Board of Directors (the "Board"). Since co-founding Multicoin in 2017, Mr. Samani has been a leading investor, thought leader, and policy advisor in the digital asset space, including within the Solana ecosystem.

    "I have been one of the earliest and loudest champions of Solana since Multicoin first led the seed round back in 2018. Solana is still widely misunderstood and discounted by market participants, despite the fact that it has been resilient through adversarial cycles and continues to be one of the most performant general-purpose blockchains. I believe this asymmetry creates tremendous opportunity for a Solana treasury strategy," said Mr. Samani. "Real economic value is being generated on Solana. An institutional-scale treasury can be deployed in sophisticated ways within the Solana ecosystem to create differentiated value and increase SOL per share at a faster rate than simply being a passive holder. As expected Chairman, I look forward to stewarding the Company and helping shape the corporate strategy to take advantage of this significant opportunity."

    Chris Ferraro, President and Chief Investment Officer of Galaxy, and Saurabh Sharma, Chief Investment Officer at Jump Crypto—each of whom bring significant experience investing in and building on Solana—are also expected to join as Board observers.

    Mike Novogratz, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Galaxy, said: "Kyle, Chris, and Saurabh are three of the most established names within the broader digital asset ecosystem. We believe that under their guidance, Forward Industries will quickly separate itself as the leading publicly-traded company within the Solana ecosystem. We are proud to support this effort to further Solana's adoption and reinforce its role in the future of finance."

    Mr. Sharma added, "Jump Crypto is excited to back Forward Industries as it takes a bold step forward with Solana at the center of its strategy. We believe the opportunity exists to provide investors with access to differentiated on-chain return sources that go far beyond traditional staking, leveraging Solana's high-performance decentralized finance ecosystem. Jump Crypto has been a key engineering contributor to the Solana ecosystem through critical R&D projects like Firedancer, DoubleZero and others. We hope these efforts will be helpful to Forward Industries in achieving institutional scale and driving shareholder value."

    Advisors

    The Company has selected Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. as the lead placement agent and Galaxy Investment Banking, a division of Galaxy Digital, as co-placement agent and financial advisor.

    Forward Industries and Galaxy Asset Management, a division of Galaxy Digital, also intend to enter into a services agreement for management support relating to the treasury strategy.

    Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP is acting as legal advisor to Galaxy.

    DLA Piper LLP (US) is acting as legal advisor to Cantor Fitzgerald & Co.

    Forward Industries expects to release additional updates regarding its PIPE financing and other treasury activities in the near-term.
