Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 20, 2025, each of Ana Amicarella and Valerie Bonebrake notified the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Forward Air Corporation (the “Company”) that they will not stand for re-election to the Board at the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (“2025 Annual Meeting”). In each case, their decision not to stand for re-election was not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. The Company and the Board wish to sincerely thank Ms. Amicarella and Ms. Bonebrake for their significant contributions to the Company during their years of service on the Board.

Ongoing Board Refreshment

As part of the Company’s ongoing commitment to Board refreshment and in light of Ms. Amicarella’s and Ms. Bonebrake’s decision not to stand for re-election to the Board at the 2025 Annual Meeting, on March 20, 2025, following a recommendation by the Company’s Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, the Board nominated Paul Svindland for election to the Board by the Company’s shareholders at the 2025 Annual Meeting and agreed to recommend to the Company’s shareholders that they vote to elect Mr. Svindland to the Board at the 2025 Annual Meeting.

Mr. Svindland currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer of STG Logistics, a domestic port-to-door services and supply chain solutions company. The Company believes that, if elected, Mr. Svindland’s election will further its board refreshment objectives and provide additional depth of knowledge and expertise in critical areas of the Company’s operations.
