Market Chatter: Forward Air Urged by Activist Investor Ancora to Consider Sale

MT Newswires Live08-20

Activist Investor Ancora Holdings has urged Forward Air (FWRD) to launch a strategic review and consider a sale, Reuters reported Tuesday, citing a letter by Ancora to the Forward Air board that it viewed.

Ancora also warned that a board challenge could follow if

investors' calls for action were ignored, according to the report.

Ancora, which reportedly owns a 4% stake in the freight forwarding company, said in the letter that improving operations, fixing the balance sheet and servicing customers would be better achieved as a private company, Reuters reported.

Forward Air and Ancora Holdings did not immediately respond to requests for comment from MT Newswires.
