Northern Genesis III is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware and formed for the purpose of effecting an initial business combination with one or more target businesses.
We believe that there is a growing societal sensitivity on the part of customers, investors and employees to the alignment that a business demonstrates with the principles underlying sustainability. Incorporating these principles into business strategies requires ongoing consideration of certain environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors that can both create opportunities and present potential risks. By weaving a focus on sustainability into their business plans and activities, companies can build business models that create social and environmental value in addition to financial or economic value. We believe there are significant, attractive opportunities to invest in businesses that demonstrate a commitment to this ‘triple bottom line’ orientation. While a commitment to ESG covers a broad range of themes, we are specifically focused on evaluating suitable targets whose business practices demonstrate clear alignment with sustainability principles and whose organizational culture embraces the value of such alignment.
We believe in the ability of our management team to add significant value to a target company from a commercial, operating, strategic and sustainability perspective. In particular, we will seek to identify and acquire a business that could benefit from a hands-on owner with extensive operational experience and the public company expertise our management team possesses, or that relies on the target’s executive and operational expertise but presents potential for an attractive risk-adjusted return profile following a business combination with us. Our management team has significant experience in identifying such opportunities and executing on strategies to surface value in a public market context.

Our management team’s objective is to generate attractive returns and create value for our stockholders by applying our disciplined strategy of underwriting intrinsic worth and affecting changes after making an acquisition to unlock value. While our approach is value-oriented, and focusing on industries where we have differentiated insights, we also rigorously drive change through a comprehensive value creation plan framework. We favor opportunities where we can improve the risk-reward by driving change and accelerating the target’s growth initiatives. Our management team has successfully applied this approach over the past decade and has deployed capital successfully in a range of market cycles. We do not intend to purchase multiple businesses in unrelated industries in conjunction with our initial business combination.

Our sponsor is Fortress Capital Acquisition Sponsor LLC, an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC.
While we may pursue an acquisition in any industry, sector, or geographic region, we intend to concentrate our efforts on businesses in the financial services sector including, but not limited to, services and technology businesses that provide support to the financial services sector. We intend to identify and acquire a business that could benefit from a hands-on owner with extensive investment and capital markets expertise and that presents the potential for an attractive risk-adjusted return profile under our stewardship. Particularly in the financial services sector, we believe many promising companies that originate, hold, and/or service financial assets with strong unit economics and growth potential, struggle to reach their potential due, among other reasons, to poor access to the capital markets, lack of investment in technology and process improvement or management’s aversion to change. Our management team has extensive experience in identifying and executing acquisitions across the financial services sector. In addition, our management has hands-on experience working with companies as active owners and directors, working closely with successful and experienced operators to continue their transformations and help create value.
We believe that our management team is well-positioned to identify attractive risk-adjusted returns in the marketplace. Our management team’s long-standing relationships and transaction sources, ranging from industry executives, leading operators, private owners, private equity funds, credit funds, and investment bankers, in addition to the extensive global industry and geographical reach of the Fortress platform, will enable us to pursue a broad range of opportunities.

Northern Genesis III is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware and formed for the purpose of effecting an initial business combination with one or more target businesses.
We believe that there is a growing societal sensitivity on the part of customers, investors and employees to the alignment that a business demonstrates with the principles underlying sustainability. Incorporating these principles into business strategies requires ongoing consideration of certain environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors that can both create opportunities and present potential risks. By weaving a focus on sustainability into their business plans and activities, companies can build business models that create social and environmental value in addition to financial or economic value. We believe there are significant, attractive opportunities to invest in businesses that demonstrate a commitment to this ‘triple bottom line’ orientation. While a commitment to ESG covers a broad range of themes, we are specifically focused on evaluating suitable targets whose business practices demonstrate clear alignment with sustainability principles and whose organizational culture embraces the value of such alignment.
We believe in the ability of our management team to add significant value to a target company from a commercial, operating, strategic and sustainability perspective. In particular, we will seek to identify and acquire a business that could benefit from a hands-on owner with extensive operational experience and the public company expertise our management team possesses, or that relies on the target’s executive and operational expertise but presents potential for an attractive risk-adjusted return profile following a business combination with us. Our management team has significant experience in identifying such opportunities and executing on strategies to surface value in a public market context.

Our management team’s objective is to generate attractive returns and create value for our stockholders by applying our disciplined strategy of underwriting intrinsic worth and affecting changes after making an acquisition to unlock value. While our approach is value-oriented, and focusing on industries where we have differentiated insights, we also rigorously drive change through a comprehensive value creation plan framework. We favor opportunities where we can improve the risk-reward by driving change and accelerating the target’s growth initiatives. Our management team has successfully applied this approach over the past decade and has deployed capital successfully in a range of market cycles. We do not intend to purchase multiple businesses in unrelated industries in conjunction with our initial business combination.
Our sponsor is Fortress Acquisition Sponsor IV LLC, an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC ("Fortress").

Fortress Capital Acquisition Corp. is a newly incorporated blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Our sponsor is Fortress Capital Acquisition Sponsor LLC, an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC.
While we may pursue an acquisition in any industry, sector, or geographic region, we intend to concentrate our efforts on businesses in the financial services sector including, but not limited to, services and technology businesses that provide support to the financial services sector. We intend to identify and acquire a business that could benefit from a hands-on owner with extensive investment and capital markets expertise and that presents the potential for an attractive risk-adjusted return profile under our stewardship. Particularly in the financial services sector, we believe many promising companies that originate, hold, and/or service financial assets with strong unit economics and growth potential, struggle to reach their potential due, among other reasons, to poor access to the capital markets, lack of investment in technology and process improvement or management’s aversion to change. Our management team has extensive experience in identifying and executing acquisitions across the financial services sector. In addition, our management has hands-on experience working with companies as active owners and directors, working closely with successful and experienced operators to continue their transformations and help create value.
We believe that our management team is well-positioned to identify attractive risk-adjusted returns in the marketplace. Our management team’s long-standing relationships and transaction sources, ranging from industry executives, leading operators, private owners, private equity funds, credit funds, and investment bankers, in addition to the extensive global industry and geographical reach of the Fortress platform, will enable us to pursue a broad range of opportunities. Our management believes that its ability to identify and implement value creation initiatives has been an essential driver of past performance and will remain central to its differentiated acquisition strategy.

While we may pursue acquisitions in any industry or geography, we intend to avoid companies in highly cyclical sectors such as upstream and midstream energy, commodities or real estate. We intend to identify and consummate an initial business combination that will generate attractive long-term returns for our shareholders.
Our sponsor, Hamilton Lane, has robust deal sourcing capabilities driven by a proprietary data advantage, established relationships with leading financial sponsors and institutional investors, and an exceptional management team. Focused exclusively on private markets investing for 29 years, Hamilton Lane currently employs more than 400 professionals operating in 17 offices throughout North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.
