ITEM 5.02(E) DEPARTURE OF
DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN
OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS
On December 20, 2010, the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors of Forward Industries, Inc. (the "Company")
took action as follows:
The Compensation Committee determined not to award
bonus to any Named Executive Officer in respect of the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2010.  Financial targets set in December 2009 were not
achieved and the Compensation Committee determined to award no bonus pursuant
to the discretionary goals established in December 2009.
The Compensation Committee approved the terms of
performance-based targets that will determine the amount, if any, of non-equity
incentive (bonus) compensation that can be earned in respect of the fiscal year
ending September 30, 2011 ("Fiscal 2011"), by the Company's Named Executive
Officers in accordance with their respective employment agreements.
Target bonus compensation for Brett M. Johnson and
James O. McKenna, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, respectively, was set at $75,000.00 and $35,000.00, respectively,
based on a formula of specified percentages of the amount of operating income,
if any, recorded by the Company in Fiscal 2011, with maximum bonuses capped at
twice their respective target amounts.   In determining bonus payable for
each named executive officer, operating income will be calculated: (i) based on
the Company's existing OEM business and planned internal development and
expansion of product offerings and geographies; and (ii) excluding "other
income (expense)".
In addition to eligibility to earn the bonus described
above, the Compensation Committee may award a discretionary bonus to either or
both of Messrs. Johnson and McKenna.
On December 20, 2010, the Compensation Committee also
determined to award Mr. McKenna options to purchase 7,500 shares of common
stock, par value 0.01 per share, of the Company pursuant to the Company's 2007
Equity Incentive Plan, as amended. This award shall have a term of ten years
and vest in five equal annual amounts over five years, commencing on the first
anniversary of the grant date of December 22, 2010, and shall have an exercise
price per share equal to the closing price of the common stock at the close of
trading on the grant date.
