Forward Industries (NASDAQ: FWDI) announced that Solana Company (NASDAQ: HSDT) has declined to engage in discussions regarding a proposed all-stock business combination. According to Forward, HSDT informed the company on June 12 that its board voted to reject the proposal and would not pursue further discussions. Forward said it was disappointed by the decision and believes a dialogue would be in the best interests of both companies and their shareholders.
Under the proposal, HSDT shareholders would have received 0.386 newly issued shares of Forward common stock for each HSDT share, representing an implied value of approximately $1.63 per share and a premium of about 10% to HSDT’s closing price prior to the offer. Forward said it believes a combination would create greater scale within the Solana ecosystem, provide shareholders with continued exposure to Solana through a larger and more liquid platform, and strengthen the combined company’s ability to pursue long-term value creation initiatives.
