On February 27, 2026, Fortress Value Acquisition Corp. V (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 25,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”). The Class A Ordinary Shares were sold at a price of $10.00 per Class A Ordinary Share, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $250,000,000. The Company has granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 3,750,000 Class A Ordinary Shares to cover over-allotments, if any.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 200,000 Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Private Placement Shares”) to Fortress Value Acquisition Sponsor V LLC, the Company’s sponsor, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share, generating gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $2,000,000.
A total of $250,000,000, comprised of $249,750,000 of the proceeds from the IPO (which amount includes $13,750,000 of the underwriter’s deferred discount, or up to $15,812,500 if the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised in full) and $250,000 of the proceeds from the Private Placement, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.
An audited balance sheet as of February 27, 2026 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
