Views Value-Maximizing Sale as Best Outcome for Shareholders
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Lakeview Investment Group & Trading Company, LLC (together with its affiliates, “Lakeview�), a meaningful shareholder of Forward Air Corp. (NASDAQ: FWRD) (“Forward Air� or the “Company�), is announcing its plans to withhold support for three incumbents at the Company’s 2025 annual meeting of shareholders: George Mayes, Jr. (chairman), Javier Polit (director) and Laurie Tucker (director). Lakeview agrees with the conclusions reached by other investors and the two leading proxy advisory firms, which affirmed there is a need to remove long-standing directors with histories of voting for value-destructive acquisitions. In addition, Lakeview urges the board of directors to avoid further investor unrest by carrying out an accelerated strategic review that results in a sale at a meaningful premium.
