Item 8.01

Other Events.

As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Fortress Value Acquisition Corp. IV (the “Company”), on March 18, 2021, the Company consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 60,000,000 units (“Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and one-eighth of one redeemable warrant of the Company (“Warrant”), each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $600,000,000.

At the time of the IPO, the underwriters were granted an option to purchase up to an additional 9,000,000 Units to cover overallotments, if any. On April 22, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option and purchased 5,000,000 Units to cover over-allotments made in the IPO (the “Over-allotment Units”) generating gross proceeds of approximately $50,000,000.

As previously reported in the Initial Form 8-K, substantially concurrently with the consummation of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of 7,500,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $2.00 per Private Placement Warrant, to the Company’s sponsor, Fortress Value Acquisition Sponsor IV LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds to the Company of $15,000,000. On April 22, 2021, substantially concurrently with the sale of the Over-allotment Units, the Company completed a private placement with the Sponsor for an additional 500,000 warrants at a price of $2.00 per warrant (the “Additional Private Placement Warrants”), generating gross proceeds of approximately $1,000,000.

Giving effect to the over-allotment exercise, cash held in the trust account totals $650,000,000, excluding interest earned, if any, which is comprised of the net proceeds from the sale of the 65,000,000 Units, the Private Placement Warrants and the Additional Private Placement Warrants, and deferred underwriting commissions equal to $22,750,000.
