  Abstract:
The prime graph of a finite group G is denoted by Γ(G). In this paper as the main result, we show that if G is a finite group such that Γ(G) = Γ(F4(q)), where q=2n > 2, then G has a unique nonabelian composition factor isomorphic to F4(q).We also show that if G is a finite group satisfying |G| = |F4(q)| and Γ(G) = Γ(F4(q)), where q = 2n > 2, then GF4(q). As a consequence of our result we give a new proof for a conjecture of Shi and Bi for F4(q) where q = 2n > 2.
