We caution readers that any such statements are based on currently available operational, financial and competitive information, and they should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s opinion only as of the date on which they were made. These forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and there are certain important factors that could cause Forward’s actual results to differ, possibly materially, from expectations or estimates reflected in such forward-looking statements, including, but without limitation: • the parties’ ability to consummate the Proposed Acquisition and to meet expectations regarding the timing and completion thereof; • the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the completion of the Proposed Acquisition, including the receipt of all required regulatory approvals or clearances in a timely manner and on terms acceptable to Forward; • the risk that the parties may be unable to achieve the expected strategic, financial and other benefits of the Proposed Acquisition, including the realization of expected synergies and the achievement of deleveraging targets, within the expected time-frames or at all; • the risk that the committed financing necessary for the consummation of the Proposed Acquisition is unavailable at the closing, and that any replacement financing may not be available on similar terms, or at all; • the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully or that integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; • the risk that operating costs, customer loss and business disruption (including, without limitation, difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees, customers, clients or suppliers) may be greater than expected following the Proposed Acquisition; • the risk that, if Forward does not obtain the necessary shareholder approval for the conversion of the perpetual non-voting convertible preferred stock to be issued by Forward in the Proposed Acquisition, Forward will be required to pay an annual dividend on such preferred stock; 2

Forward-Looking Statements (Cont’d) • the risks associated with being a holding company with the only material assets after completion of the Proposed Acquisition being the interest in the combined business and, accordingly, dependency upon distributions from the combined business to pay taxes and other expenses; • the requirement for Forward to pay certain tax benefits that it may claim in the future, and the expected materiality of these amounts; • risks associated with organizational structure, including payment obligations under the tax receivable agreement, which may be significant, and any accelerations or significant increases thereto; • the inability to realize all or a portion of the tax benefits that are currently expected to result from the acquisition of certain corporate owners of Omni, certain pre-existing tax attributes of Omni shareholders and tax attributes that may arise on the distribution of cash to other Omni shareholders in connection with the Proposed Acquisition, as well as the future exchanges of units of Forward’s operating subsidiary and payments made under the tax receivables agreement; • increases in interest rates; • changes in Forward’s credit ratings and outlook; • risks relating to the indebtedness Forward expects to incur in connection with the Proposed Acquisition and the need to generate sufficient cash flows to service and repay such debt; • the ability to generate the significant amount of cash needed to service the indebtedness; • the limitations and restrictions in surviving agreements governing indebtedness; • risks associated with the need to obtain additional financing which may not be available or, if it is available, may result in a reduction in the ownership of current Forward shareholders; • and general economic and market conditions. These and other risks and uncertainties are more fully discussed in the risk factors identified in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of Forward’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10- K, and as may be identified in Forward’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. Except to the extent required by law, Forward expressly disclaims any obligation to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in Forward’s expectations with regard thereto or change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based. Non-GAAP Measures To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we have included Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio and Net Revenue, non-GAAP financial measures, in this presentation. The reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP can be found in the Appendix to this presentation. Because these non-GAAP measures excludes certain items as described herein, they may not be indicative of the results that Forward expects to recognize for future periods. As a result, these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. 3

STRATEGIC RATIONALE Omni Will Drive Volumes and Margin to Forward’s Expedited LTL Network • Expands Expedited Fright Customer Base − Forward and Omni complement each other and will be able to provide customers cost savings on moving high quality, time sensitive freight − ~35% of Omni’s business is LTL, remainder is focused on bringing high-value goods into and throughout the U.S. • Enhances Platform Scale and Margin (1) − Forward current scale to double, with Adj. Revenues of ~$3.7B for twelve months ended June 30, 2023 − Combination removes an organization’s gross margin between shipper and destination − Omni originated LTL moved by Forward will be margin enhancing for Forward, allowing Forward to capture both wholesale and retail margin on the same revenue. EBITDA margin on such moves is expected to be greater than 20% • Broader Service Offering Will Drive Incremental Business into the Forward LTL Network − Complementary services support the long-term growth of Forward’s Expedited LTL business − Omni’s domestic business generates significant LTL freight volumes which can be moved onto Forward network − Omni’s international freight transportation services move high value freight to North America that will feed the Forward network • Combines Industry – Leading Teams − Acquisition allows Forward to go directly to shippers while maintaining and growing with our historic wholesale customers − Positions Forward for long term growth of the business model by expanding the customer base to include shippers, 3PL, forwarders and airlines − Omni’s retail salesforce sells significant amount of high value LTL freight (which is often fulfilled by Forward) and as such already has a strong understanding of the combined footprint and service capabilities to market the combined offering − Strong commercial engine enables pro-active cross sell revenue synergies in LTL along with complementary Omni services − Adds deep retail sales expertise to an already strong wholesale sales and account management team − To drive growth in both the wholesale and retail markets, Forward will go to market with two sales organizations with channel expertise • Expands Geographic Footprint and Capacity − Combined company will have 300+ locations, creating a network flywheel for customers through the addition of Omni’s 40+ strategically located terminals across the United States − Addition of Omni’s presence in Europe, Asia, and South America is expected to expand Forward’s international capabilities and allow Forward to provide extended logistics services support for global customers Notes: 1. Represents a non-GAAP figure. Please see appendix for a non-GAAP reconciliation. Assumes full realization of expected synergy opportunities, based on management estimates. Synergy opportunities are exclusive of one- time costs necessary to achieve such synergies, estimated to be approximately $36MM. Estimated revenue-based EBITDA synergy opportunities have been converted into EBITDA estimates assuming the full realization of 10 the revenue synergy opportunities, based on an assumed margin percentage of 21%. This assumed margin percentage is based on management’s estimates and an analysis of incremental margin by revenue segment.

STRATEGIC RATIONALE High Certainty Cost Synergy Opportunity Will Be Executed in Near-Term Majority of synergies coming from cost synergies Synergy Key Levers Insourcing Omni's Third-Party • Moving Omni’s existing LTL freight spend through the optimized Domestic Transport Spend national Forward network to buy, load and route freight efficiently • Optimizing combined LTL network and reducing redundancy in 5% Technology Network Optimization certain parts of the network Enhancement • Shifting pick-up and delivery freight from Omni cartage agents to 10% Forward independent contractors • Capturing efficiency benefits from greater scale and route density SG&A Facilities Consolidation • Consolidating terminals to a single facility in most markets Rationalization $75MM Network 10% Cost Optimization • Optimizing office footprint (1) Synergies SG&A Rationalization 60% • Aligning personnel and benefits related expenses Facilities • Consolidating into single TMS instance and IT management tools Consolidation Technology Enhancement for truckload brokerage, including back offices support function 15% Insourcing Omni’s Third-Party • Transferring existing freight to Forward from current Omni providers while remaining accretive Domestic Transport Spend Up to 80% of run-rate cost synergies expected to be realized within the first six months following close, with full run-rate cost savings expected to be realized by the end of 2025 Notes: 1. Projected synergy opportunities are based on management estimates. 11

STRATEGIC RATIONALE Meaningful Revenue Synergies to be Executed in Near-Term Revenue-Based EBITDA (1) Rationale Revenue Synergies ($50MM) (1) Synergy Phasing • 133 large (>$1MM revenue) customers Maximize value of the only national representing $540MM in collective revenue are expedited LTL network with a direct retail 100% non-LTL users today spending <$100k on LTL relationships at scale with Omni • Based on similarly sized customers in Omni’s portfolio who do buy LTL, this group of Cross-sell potential by delivering Forward’s customers has the potential to deliver over expedited LTL network into Omni’s customer $570MM in additional LTL revenue – of which 60% base 25% conversion is assumed in revenue synergies over 3 years • Shippers value LTL network control and Omni Expand reach of Forward’s LTL direct sellers has already achieved above market growth 30% by combining with Omni’s sales team selling a subscale in-house network • Forward will service our wholesale community of customers independent from Omni and will go to market with two separate sales and support Best-in-class account management with teams – maintaining confidentiality and 98% plus revenue retention Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 neutrality across our sales channels • Forward continues to maintain expedited LTL nationwide leadership Notes: 1. Net of dis-synergies.
