The latest announcement is out from Forge Global Holdings ( (FRGE) ).

In late December 2025, Forge Global Holdings, Inc.’s board and compensation committee approved accelerated payouts of certain 2025 incentive awards for Chief Executive Officer Kelly Rodriques and Chief Financial Officer James Nevin, ahead of the company’s planned merger with The Charles Schwab Corporation. The move, which pulls into December 2025 equity and cash awards that would otherwise have been paid or vested in 2026, is designed to mitigate potential adverse tax consequences under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, preserve related corporate tax deductions, and reduce the potential excise tax burden on the executives. Rodriques received early vesting and settlement of 36,800 performance-based RSUs earned at 200% of target, while Nevin received a $340,000 partial cash bonus and accelerated vesting of a total of 17,259 RSUs, including performance-based units earned at target. Both executives signed acknowledgements on December 23, 2025 agreeing to repay the after-tax value of these accelerated amounts under certain conditions, including early termination that would have otherwise led to forfeiture or if the company later determines the awards exceeded what performance warranted.

The most recent analyst rating on (FRGE) stock is a Hold with a $44.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Forge Global Holdings stock, see the FRGE Stock Forecast page.
