Item 1.01      Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 12, 2014, Fortress
Investment Group LLC (the "Company") entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting
Agreement") with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as underwriters (the
"Underwriters"), and the selling shareholders party thereto (the "Selling Shareholders"), which
include certain of  the Company's officers and senior employees, including  the Company's principals (the "Principals"). The
following summary of certain provisions of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
complete Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, subject
to the terms and conditions expressed therein, the Company agreed to sell 23,202,859 Class A Shares of the Company, and the Selling
Shareholders agreed to sell 5,077,141 Class A Shares, each at a price of $8.04 per share. The Company and certain of the Selling
Shareholders also granted a 30-day option to the Underwriters to purchase up to an additional 3,855,000 Class A Shares and 387,000
Class A Shares, respectively.
The Company will use the proceeds from its
issuance and sale of Class A Shares to purchase from the Principals an equivalent number of FOGUs (as defined below) (together
with an equal number of Class B Shares of the Company) at price of $8.04 per FOGU, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement,
dated as of March 12, 2014, among the Company, FIG Cop., FIG Asset Co. LLC and the Principals. A "FOGU" is a unit of
limited partnership interest in each of the Fortress Operating Group entities: Fortress Operating Entity I LP, FOE II (New) LP
and Principal Holdings I LP.
The Class A Shares are being offered and sold
pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated March 12, 2014, and related prospectus, dated March 12, 2014, each filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, relating to the Company's shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-194504).
The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters
against various liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments the
Underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities. In addition, the Underwriting Agreement contains customary
representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, and customary conditions to closing. The offering is expected to close
on March 18, 2014, subject to the conditions stated in the Underwriting Agreement.
The Underwriters and certain of their affiliates
have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business
with the Company and its affiliates. They have received or will continue to receive customary fees and commissions for these transactions.
On March 12, 2014, the Company issued a press
release, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 99.1, announcing the offering.
