Item 1.01.       Entry
into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 14,
2013, Forward Industries, Inc. (the "Company") completed the sale of (i) an
additional 50,890 shares of its 6% Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par
value $0.01 per share (the "Convertible Preferred Stock") and (ii) warrants to
purchase a total of 50,890 shares of the Company's common stock, par value
$0.01 per share ("Common Stock") (the "Warrants" and together with the Convertible
Preferred Stock, the "Securities") to an accredited investor (the "Investor") in
a private placement (the "Private Placement") pursuant to the terms of a
securities purchase agreement, dated August 14, 2013 (the "Purchase
Agreement"), by and between the Company and the Investor.  The Purchase
Agreement was entered into in connection with a closing under the Private
Placement (the "Closing") following two previous closings under the Private
Placement that occurred on June 28, 2013 and August 7, 2013 (together, the
"Previous Closings"), respectively.  The Closing resulted in gross proceeds of
approximately $100,000 to the Company and, together with the gross proceeds of
approximately $1,175,000 from the Previous Closings, amounts to total gross
proceeds of approximately $1,275,000 from the Private Placement through the
date of the Closing.  Together with the Securities sold in the Previous Closings,
the Company has sold a total of 648,846 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and
Warrants to purchase 648,846 shares of Common Stock in the Private Placement as
of the date of the Closing. The Company may sell additional shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock, together with related Warrants, in one or more
subsequent closings.
Except for the
respective dates thereof, the terms and provisions of the Securities purchased
by the Investor in the Closing are identical to the terms and provisions of the
Securities purchased by investors in the Previous Closings and the Purchase
Agreement is identical to the purchase agreements the Company entered into with
investors in the Previous Closings.
The total
purchase price paid by the Investor for each share of Convertible Preferred
Stock and Warrant purchased in the Closing was $1.965, consisting of (i) $1.84
in respect of the Convertible Preferred Stock, plus (ii) $0.125 in respect of
the Warrant.  The Warrants have an initial exercise price of $1.84 per share,
subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain customary events.  The
Warrants are exercisable at any time on or after January 1, 2014 (the "Initial
Exercise Date") and terminate on the 10-year anniversary of the Initial
Exercise Date.
Each share of
Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of Common Stock at an
initial conversion price of $1.84 per share, subject to adjustment upon the
occurrence of certain customary events (the "Conversion Price").  At the
initial Conversion Price, the 50,890 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
issued at the Closing are convertible into an aggregate of 54,347 shares of
Common Stock, and the total of 648,846 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock issued
in the Private Placement as of the date of the Closing are convertible into an
aggregate of 692,919 shares of Common Stock.
The terms,
rights, obligations and preferences of the Convertible Preferred Stock are set
forth in a Certificate of Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Company (the "Certificate of Amendment") filed with the Department of State of
the State of New York and are described in further detail in the Company's Current
Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on
July 3, 2013 (the "Initial Closing 8-K"), which is incorporated by reference
herein.
In connection
with the sale of the Securities to the Investor in the Closing, the Company
entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investor dated as of August
14, 2013 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), with the same terms and
provisions as the Registration Rights Agreements the Company entered into with
investors in the Previous Closings, as described in further detail in the
Initial Closing 8-K and Item 5 to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
filed with the SEC on August 12, 2013, each of which is incorporated by
reference herein.
The issuance
of the Securities in the Private Placement was made in reliance upon the
exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the provisions of Regulation D
promulgated thereunder.  The Securities and the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants
may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an applicable exemption
from those registration requirements.
The
descriptions of the terms and conditions of the Convertible Preferred Stock,
the Warrants, the Purchase Agreements and the Registration Rights Agreement set
forth herein do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety
by: (i) the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, which is attached as
Exhibit 3.1 to the Initial Closing 8-K and incorporated herein by reference,
(ii) the form of Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate, which is attached as
Exhibit 4.1 to the Initial Closing 8-K and incorporated herein by reference,
(iii) the form of Warrant, which is attached as Exhibit 4.2 to the Initial
Closing 8-K and incorporated herein by reference; (iv) the form of Purchase
Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Initial Closing 8-K and
incorporated herein by reference, and (v) the form of Registration Rights
Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to the Initial Closing 8-K and
incorporated herein by reference.
