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

On December 6, 2010, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of Fortress Investment Group LLC (the “Company”) appointed Mr. David Barry as a member of the Company’s Board, effective January 1, 2011. Mr. Barry will serve as a Class I director and will hold office until the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or his death, resignation, disqualification or removal. The Board determined that Mr. Barry is “independent” under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. The Board has also appointed Mr. Barry to the Board’s Audit Committee and Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee.

Under the Company’s non-employee director compensation arrangements, upon joining the Board, Mr. Barry will be entitled to receive the standard compensation that the Company provides to its non-employee directors for their service on the Board and related committees, which compensation is described in our proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 30, 2010.

Mr. Barry replaces Howard Rubin, who resigned from the Board, as well as the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee, effective as of January 1, 2011.
