The following information was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 4, 2021 by Fortress Value Acquisition Corp. II on Form 8-K (Item 8.01 Other Events):

As previously disclosed, on February 21, 2021, Fortress Value Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (“FAII”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among FAII, FVAC Merger Corp. II, a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of FAII (“Merger Sub”), and Wilco Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, among other things, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving corporation (together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). As a result of the Business Combination, the Company will become a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of FAII.

Demand Letters Related to the Business Combination

On March 26, 2021, March 30, 2021, April 15, 2021 and June 2, 2021, FAII received a total of five demand letters from five purported stockholders of FAII (the “Demand Letters”). The Demand Letters generally allege that the preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A for the Special Meeting of Stockholders in lieu of the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on June 15, 2021, at 8:00 a.m., Eastern Time (the “Special Meeting”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 12, 2021 (the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Preliminary Proxy Statement, filed with the SEC on May 5, 2021 and/or the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A for FAII’s Special Meeting of Stockholders, filed with the SEC on May 14, 2021 (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”) and relating to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination, omitted material information in violation of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and certain rules promulgated thereunder, rendering the Preliminary Proxy Statement and/or the Definitive Proxy Statement false and misleading.

FAII has not yet responded to any of these Demand Letters and believes they are without merit. However, in order to moot the purported FAII stockholders’ unmeritorious disclosure claims, alleviate the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation and provide additional information to its stockholders, FAII has determined to voluntarily supplement the Definitive Proxy Statement with certain supplemental disclosures as described in the following section entitled “Supplemental Disclosures” in this Current Report on Form 8-K. Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth herein. To the contrary, FAII specifically denies all allegations by the purported FAII stockholders in the Demand Letters that any additional disclosure was or is required.

Supplemental Disclosures

The following disclosures supplement the disclosures contained in the Definitive Proxy Statement and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures contained in the Definitive Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety. To the extent the information set forth herein differs from or updates information contained in the Definitive Proxy Statement, the information set forth herein shall supersede or supplement the information in the Definitive Proxy Statement. The terms used below, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement.

The disclosure in the section entitled “The Business Combination — Certain Projected Financial Information of the Company” on page 90 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby supplemented by adding the following immediately prior to the first full paragraph on such page:

Financial measures provided to a financial advisor in connection with a business combination transaction are excluded from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures and therefore are not subject to SEC rules regarding disclosures of non-GAAP financial measures, which would otherwise require a reconciliation of a non-GAAP financial measure to a GAAP financial measure. Accordingly, the Company has not provided a reconciliation of the financial measures included in the financial projections to the relevant GAAP financial measures.

The disclosure in the section entitled “The Business Combination — Background of the Business Combination” on page 93 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby supplemented by amending and restating the second full paragraph on such page as follows:

On August 17, 2020, FAII executed a non-disclosure agreement with a potential acquisition target in the beauty and wellness industry (“Target A”) and began its financial due diligence review of the Target A. The non-disclosure agreement contained customary terms regarding protections of confidentiality, but did not impose conditions of exclusivity or other similarly restrictive provisions. On August 31, 2020, FAII and Target A executed a non-binding letter of intent outlining the terms of a potential transaction and an exclusivity agreement. Following the execution of the non-binding letter of intent and exclusivity agreement, FAII and its representatives conducted further financial, legal, tax, accounting and insurance diligence, and had meetings with the heads of various departments within Target A. In addition to such diligence, FAII also worked with Target A on capital markets presentation of Target A’s business and sought indications of interest from potential PIPE Investors for Target A. On October 5, 2020, after extensive discussions with Target A, the parties decided not to pursue a potential transaction, primarily due to the failure to agree on a valuation for the business in the transaction and then-prevailing capital market conditions.

The disclosure in the section entitled “The Business Combination — Background of the Business Combination” on page 93 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby supplemented by adding the following immediately prior to the third full paragraph on such page:

Between August 17, 2020 and February 1, 2021, FAII executed 33 non-disclosure agreements with target companies in connection with a potential transaction, which did not include customary standstill and “don’t ask don’t waive” provisions.

The disclosure in the section entitled “The Business Combination — Background of the Business Combination” on page 96 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby supplemented by amending and restating the second full paragraph on such page as follows:

Later on January 21, 2021, Weil delivered an initial draft of the Merger Agreement to Skadden, which proposed, among other things, for FAII to designate one member of the post-combination Board. From January 21, 2021 through February 21, 2021, Skadden and Weil negotiated the terms of, and exchanged several drafts of, the definitive agreements for the potential business combination, including the Merger Agreement, the

Sponsor Letter Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement and the A&R RRA. In addition during this same period, representatives of FAII, representatives of the Company, representatives of Advent, Skadden and Weil conducted various telephonic conferences to discuss and resolve the open issues related to the potential business combination.

The disclosure in the section entitled “The Business Combination — Background of the Business Combination” on page 96 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby supplemented by adding the following immediately prior to the sixth full paragraph on such page:

On January 30, 2021, the Company sent a draft of the Merger Agreement to FAII proposing that the post-combination Board consist of eight directors. On February 2, 2021, Weil delivered to Skadden an initial draft of the Stockholders Agreement, which proposed, among other things, that the post-combination Board include seven nominees designated by Advent and one nominee designated by Sponsor with a footnote that noted Mr. McKnight would be the Sponsor designated nominee. On February 3, 2021, Skadden delivered to Weil a revised draft of the Stockholders Agreement, which draft named Mr. McKnight as the Sponsor nominee.

The disclosure in the section entitled “Summary — Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals for the FAII Special Meeting” on page 32 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby supplemented by amending and restating the second full paragraph in such section as follows:

The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the NYSE Issuance Proposal, the Governance Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of majority of the votes cast by holders of the outstanding shares of FAII Common Stock represented virtually or by proxy at the FAII Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. If a valid quorum is established, a stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or virtually at the FAII Special Meeting will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on any of the foregoing proposals. Abstentions will be counted in connection with determination of whether a valid quorum is established, but will have no effect on the vote with respect to such proposals, other than the NYSE Issuance Proposal, for which abstentions have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” such proposal. Broker non-votes will also have no effect on the vote with respect to such proposals. The Insiders have agreed to vote their Founder Shares and any public shares they may hold in favor of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the NYSE Issuance Proposal, the Governance Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. Currently, the Insiders own approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding FAII Common Stock, including all of the outstanding Founder Shares.

Other Disclosures

Because FAII mailed its proxy materials to its stockholders of record as of May 10, 2021, on June 4, 2021, FAII provided the following additional disclosure with respect to its stockholders as of May 24, 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting (the “Record Date”).

As of the Record Date, there were 43,125,000 shares of FAII Common Stock outstanding, of which 34,500,000 are shares of FAII Class A common stock and 8,625,000 are shares of FAII Class F common stock held by FAII insiders.
