Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(b) On August 17, 2020, Christina W. Bottomley, Vice President, Chief Accounting Officer and Controller of Forward Air Corporation (the "Company"), notified the Company that she will be leaving the Company effective on September 25, 2020 to pursue a new professional opportunity unrelated to accounting. Ms. Bottomley's decision to resign was not a result of any disagreement with the Company or the Company's independent registered public accounting firm on any matter relating to the Company's accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures or internal controls.

The Company has commenced a search for a new Controller. Michael J. Morris, the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, will assume responsibility as the Company's Principal Accounting Officer on an interim basis. Ms. Bottomley and Mr. Morris will work together to ensure a smooth transition of the Company's accounting responsibilities.
