−Removed: investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk.
−Removed: You should consider carefully all of the risks described below, together
−Removed: with the other information contained in this Annual Report before making a decision to invest in our securities.
−Removed: If any of the
−Removed: following events occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected.
−Removed: event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
−Removed: Relating to Searching for and Consummating a Business Combination
−Removed: are a blank check company with no operating history and no revenues, and our stockholders have no basis on which to evaluate our
−Removed: ability to achieve our business objective.
−Removed: are a blank check company with no operating results.
−Removed: Because we lack an operating history, our stockholders have no basis upon
−Removed: which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective of completing our initial business combination with one or more
−Removed: target businesses.
−Removed: Except for the Proposed Transaction, we have no plans, arrangements or understandings with any prospective
−Removed: target business concerning a business combination and may be unable to complete our initial business combination.
−Removed: If we fail to
−Removed: complete our initial business combination, we will never generate any operating revenues.
−Removed: performance by our management team and their affiliates may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in the Company.
−Removed: regarding performance by, or businesses associated with, our management team or businesses associated with them is presented for
−Removed: informational purposes only.
−Removed: Past performance by our management team is not a guarantee either (i) of success with respect to
−Removed: any business combination we may consummate or (ii) that we will be able to locate a suitable candidate for our initial business
−Removed: Stockholders should not rely on the historical record of the performance of our management team or businesses associated
−Removed: with them as indicative of our future performance of an investment in the Company or the returns the Company will, or is likely
−Removed: to, generate going forward.
−Removed: of our management team may in the future be involved in governmental investigations and civil litigation relating to the business
−Removed: affairs of companies with which they are, were, or may in the future be, affiliated.
−Removed: This may negatively affect our ability to
−Removed: consummate an initial business combination.
−Removed: of our management team may in the future be involved in governmental investigations and civil litigation relating to the business
−Removed: affairs of companies with which they are, were or may in the future be affiliated with.
−Removed: Any such investigations or litigations
−Removed: may divert our management team’s attention and resources away from searching for an initial business combination, may be
−Removed: detrimental to our reputation, and thus may negatively affect our ability to complete an initial business combination.
−Removed: may seek business combination opportunities in industries or sectors that may or may not be outside of our management’s
−Removed: area of expertise.
−Removed: we intend to focus on identifying companies in the transportation software and technology industry or a related market, we will
−Removed: consider an initial business combination outside of our management’s area of expertise if an initial business combination
−Removed: candidate is presented to us and we determine that such candidate offers an attractive business combination opportunity for our
−Removed: company or we are unable to identify a suitable candidate in this sector after having expanded a reasonable amount of time and
−Removed: effort in an attempt to do so.
−Removed: Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in any particular business
−Removed: combination candidate, there can be no assurance that we will adequately ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors.
−Removed: There can be no assurance that an investment in our securities will not ultimately prove to be less favorable to investors than
−Removed: a direct investment, if such an opportunity were available, in an initial business combination candidate.
−Removed: In the event we elect
−Removed: to pursue a business combination outside of the areas of our management’s expertise, our management’s expertise may
−Removed: not be directly applicable to its evaluation or operation, and the information contained in this report regarding the areas of
−Removed: our management’s expertise would not be relevant to an understanding of the business that we elect to acquire.
−Removed: our management may not be able to ascertain or assess adequately all of the relevant risk factors.
−Removed: Accordingly, any stockholders
−Removed: who choose to remain stockholders following our initial business combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares.
−Removed: Such stockholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value.
−Removed: we have identified general criteria and guidelines that we believe are important in evaluating prospective target businesses,
−Removed: we may enter into our initial business combination with a target that does not meet such criteria and guidelines, and as a result,
−Removed: the target business with which we enter into our initial business combination may not have attributes entirely consistent with
−Removed: our general criteria and guidelines.
−Removed: we have identified general criteria and guidelines for evaluating prospective target businesses, it is possible that a target
−Removed: business with which we enter into our initial business combination will not have all of these positive attributes.
−Removed: If we complete
−Removed: our initial business combination with a target that does not meet some or all of these guidelines, such combination may not be
−Removed: as successful as a combination with a business that does meet all of our general criteria and guidelines.
−Removed: In addition, if we announce
−Removed: a prospective business combination with a target that does not meet our general criteria and guidelines, a greater number of stockholders
−Removed: may exercise their redemption rights, which may make it difficult for us to meet any closing condition with a target business
−Removed: that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash.
−Removed: In addition, if stockholder approval of the transaction
−Removed: is required by law, or we decide to obtain stockholder approval for business or other reasons, it may be more difficult for us
−Removed: to attain stockholder approval of our initial business combination if the target business does not meet our general criteria and
−Removed: If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may receive only approximately
−Removed: $10.00 per share, or less in certain circumstances as described herein, on the liquidation of our Trust Account and our warrants
−Removed: will expire worthless.
−Removed: In certain circumstances, our public stockholders may receive less than $10.00 per share on the redemption
−Removed: of their shares.
−Removed: See “If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced
−Removed: and the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share”
−Removed: and other risk factors herein.
−Removed: we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination, our Sponsor and our officers, directors and their affiliates
−Removed: have agreed to vote their shares in favor of such initial business combination, regardless of how our public stockholders vote.
−Removed: Sponsor and our officers, directors and affiliates have agreed to vote any Founder Shares and any Public Shares held by them in
−Removed: favor of our initial business combination.
−Removed: As a result, in addition to the Founder Shares, we would need only 4,312,501 or 37.5%
−Removed: of the 11,500,000 Public Shares to be voted in favor of a transaction in order to have our initial business combination approved.
−Removed: Our Sponsor, on behalf of our officers, directors and affiliates, currently own shares representing at least 20.0% of our outstanding
−Removed: shares of common stock.
−Removed: Accordingly, if we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination, it is more likely that
−Removed: the necessary stockholder approval will be received than would be the case if our Sponsor and our officers, directors and their
−Removed: affiliates agreed to vote the Founder Shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by our public stockholders.
−Removed: Sponsor may exert a substantial influence on actions requiring a stockholder vote, potentially in a manner that our public stockholders
−Removed: do not support.
−Removed: Sponsor, on behalf of our officers, directors and their affiliates, own shares representing 20.0% of our issued and outstanding
−Removed: shares of common stock.
−Removed: Accordingly, they may exert a substantial influence on actions requiring a stockholder vote, potentially
−Removed: in a manner that our public stockholders do not support, including amendments to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
−Removed: and approval of major corporate transactions.
−Removed: If our Sponsor or our officers, directors or their affiliates purchase any additional
−Removed: shares of common stock in the public market, or in privately-negotiated transactions, this would increase their control.
−Removed: that would be considered in making such purchases would include consideration of the current trading price of our Class A common
−Removed: In addition, our board of directors, whose members were appointed by certain affiliates of our Sponsor, is divided into
−Removed: three classes, each of which generally serve for a term of three years with only one class of directors being elected in each
−Removed: We may not hold an annual meeting of stockholders to elect new directors prior to the completion of our initial business
−Removed: combination, in which case all of the current directors will continue in office until at least the completion of the initial business
−Removed: If there is an annual meeting, as a consequence of our “staggered”
−Removed: board of directors, only a minority
−Removed: of the board of directors will be considered for election and our Sponsor and our officers, directors and their affiliates, because
−Removed: of their ownership interests, will have considerable influence regarding the outcome.
−Removed: Accordingly, our Sponsor and our officers,
−Removed: directors and their affiliates will continue to exert control at least until the completion of our initial business combination.
−Removed: may experience dilution of our Class A common stock at the time of our initial business combination.
−Removed: may occur as a result of the anti-dilution provisions of the Founder Shares resulting in the issuance of Class A shares on a greater
−Removed: than one to-one basis upon conversion of the Founder Shares at the time of our initial business combination.
−Removed: In addition, because
−Removed: of the anti-dilution protection in the Founder Shares, any equity or equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection
−Removed: with our initial business combination would be disproportionately dilutive to our Class A common stock and would be exacerbated
−Removed: to the extent the public stockholders seek redemptions from the Trust Account.
−Removed: we are not limited to evaluating a target business in a particular industry sector or any specific target businesses with which
−Removed: to pursue our initial business combination, stockholders will be unable to ascertain the merits or risks of any particular target
−Removed: business’s operations.
−Removed: will seek to complete an initial business combination with companies in the transportation software and technology industry or
−Removed: a related market, but may also pursue other business combination opportunities, except that we are not, under our amended and
−Removed: restated certificate of incorporation, permitted to effectuate our initial business combination with another blank check company
−Removed: or similar company with nominal operations.
−Removed: To the extent we complete our initial business combination, we may be affected by
−Removed: numerous risks inherent in the business operations with which we combine.
−Removed: For example, if we combine with a financially unstable
−Removed: business or an entity lacking an established record of sales or earnings, we may be affected by the risks inherent in the business
−Removed: and operations of a financially unstable or a development stage entity.
−Removed: Although our officers and directors will endeavor to evaluate
−Removed: the risks inherent in a particular target business, there can be no assurance that we will properly ascertain or assess all of
−Removed: the significant risk factors or that we will have adequate time to complete due diligence.
−Removed: Furthermore, some of these risks may
−Removed: be outside of our control and leave us with no ability to control or reduce the chances that those risks will adversely impact
−Removed: a target business.
−Removed: There can be no assurance that an investment in our securities will ultimately prove to be more favorable to
−Removed: investors than a direct investment, if such opportunity were available, in a target business.
−Removed: Accordingly, any stockholders who
−Removed: choose to remain stockholders following our initial business combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their securities.
−Removed: Such stockholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value.
−Removed: public stockholders’
−Removed: only opportunity to affect the investment decision regarding a potential business combination will
−Removed: be limited to the exercise of their redemption rights, unless we seek stockholder approval of the initial business combination.
−Removed: we do not seek stockholder approval of a potential business combination, our stockholders’
−Removed: only opportunity to affect the
−Removed: investment decision regarding a potential business combination may be limited to exercising their redemption rights in connection
−Removed: with the closing of our initial business combination.
−Removed: ability of our public stockholders to redeem their shares for cash may make our financial condition unattractive to potential
−Removed: business combination targets, which may make it difficult for us to enter into an agreement for an initial business combination
−Removed: with a target.
−Removed: may seek to enter into an initial business combination agreement with a prospective target that requires as a closing condition
−Removed: that we have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash, like the Merger Agreement with DocGo does.
−Removed: If too many public stockholders
−Removed: exercise their redemption rights, we would not be able to meet such closing condition and, as a result, would not be able to proceed
−Removed: with the initial business combination.
−Removed: Furthermore, in no event will we redeem our Public Shares in an amount that would cause
−Removed: our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon consummation of our initial business combination (so that we are not subject
−Removed: to the SEC’s “penny stock”
−Removed: rules) or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement that may be contained
−Removed: in the agreement relating to our initial business combination.
−Removed: Consequently, if accepting all properly submitted redemption requests
−Removed: would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon consummation of our initial business combination or such greater
−Removed: amount necessary to satisfy a closing condition as described above, we would not proceed with such redemption and the related
−Removed: business combination and may instead search for an alternate business combination.
−Removed: Prospective targets will be aware of these
−Removed: risks and, thus, may be reluctant to enter into an initial business combination agreement with us.
−Removed: ability of our public stockholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our shares may not allow us
−Removed: to complete the most desirable business combination, if at all, or optimize our capital structure.
−Removed: the time we enter into an agreement for our initial business combination, we will not know how many stockholders may exercise
−Removed: their redemption rights, and therefore will need to structure the transaction based on our expectations as to the number of shares
−Removed: that will be submitted for redemption.
−Removed: If our initial business combination agreement requires us to use a portion of the cash
−Removed: in the Trust Account to pay the purchase price, or requires us to have a minimum amount of cash at closing, we will need to reserve
−Removed: a portion of the cash in the Trust Account to meet such requirements, or arrange for third-party financing.
−Removed: In addition, if a
−Removed: larger number of shares are submitted for redemption than we initially expected, we may need to restructure the transaction to
−Removed: reserve a greater portion of the cash in the Trust Account or arrange for third-party financing.
−Removed: Raising additional third-party
−Removed: financing may involve dilutive equity issuances or the incurrence of indebtedness at higher than desirable levels.
−Removed: The above considerations
−Removed: may limit our ability to complete the most desirable business combination available to us or optimize our capital structure.
−Removed: amount of the deferred underwriting commission payable to the underwriter is not required to be adjusted for any shares that are
−Removed: redeemed in connection with an initial business combination.
−Removed: The per-share amount we will distribute to stockholders who properly
−Removed: exercise their redemption rights will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commission and after such redemptions, the per-share
−Removed: value of shares held by non-redeeming stockholders will reflect our obligation to pay the deferred underwriting commission.
−Removed: ability of our public stockholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our shares could increase the
−Removed: probability that our initial business combination would be unsuccessful and that our public stockholders would have to wait for
−Removed: liquidation in order to redeem their stock.
−Removed: our initial business combination agreement requires us to use a portion of the cash in the Trust Account to pay the purchase price,
−Removed: or requires us to have a minimum amount of cash at closing, the probability that our initial business combination would be unsuccessful
−Removed: is increased.
−Removed: If our initial business combination is unsuccessful, our public stockholders would not receive their pro rata
−Removed: portion of the Trust Account until we liquidate the Trust Account.
−Removed: If our public stockholders are in need of immediate liquidity,
−Removed: they could attempt to sell their stock in the open market;
−Removed: however, at such time, our stock may trade at a discount to the pro
−Removed: rata amount per share in the Trust Account.
−Removed: In either situation, our public stockholders may suffer a material loss on their
−Removed: investment or lose the benefit of funds expected in connection with their exercise of redemption rights until we liquidate or
−Removed: they are able to sell their stock in the open market.
−Removed: requirement that we complete our initial business combination by October 19, 2022, may give potential target businesses leverage
−Removed: over us in negotiating an initial business combination and may decrease our ability to conduct due diligence on potential business
−Removed: combination targets, in particular as we approach our dissolution deadline, which could undermine our ability to complete our
−Removed: initial business combination on terms that would produce value for our stockholders.
−Removed: potential target business with which we enter into negotiations concerning an initial business combination will be aware that
−Removed: we must complete our initial business combination by October 19, 2022.
−Removed: Consequently, such target business may have leverage over
−Removed: us in negotiating an initial business combination, knowing that if we do not complete our initial business combination with that
−Removed: particular target business, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination with any target business.
−Removed: will increase as we get closer to the timeframe described above.
−Removed: In addition, we may have limited time to conduct due diligence
−Removed: and may enter into our initial business combination on terms that we would have rejected upon a more comprehensive investigation.
−Removed: we must furnish our stockholders with target business financial statements, we may lose the ability to complete an otherwise advantageous
−Removed: initial business combination with some prospective target businesses.
−Removed: federal proxy rules require that the proxy statement with respect to the vote on an initial business combination include historical
−Removed: and pro forma financial statement disclosure.
−Removed: We will include the same financial statement disclosure in connection with our tender
−Removed: offer documents, whether or not they are required under the tender offer rules.
−Removed: These financial statements may be required to
−Removed: be prepared in accordance with, or be reconciled to, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
−Removed: (“GAAP”) or international financial reporting standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board
−Removed: (“IFRS”) depending on the circumstances and the historical financial statements may be required to be audited in accordance
−Removed: with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”).
−Removed: These financial statement
−Removed: requirements may limit the pool of potential target businesses we may acquire because some targets may be unable to provide such
−Removed: financial statements in time for us to disclose such statements in accordance with federal proxy rules and complete our initial
−Removed: business combination within the prescribed time frame.
−Removed: provision of our warrant agreement may make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial business combination.
−Removed: most blank check companies, if (i) we issue additional shares of Class A common stock or equitylinked securities for capital-raising
−Removed: purposes in connection with the closing of our initial business combination at a Newly Issued Price of less than $9.20 per share
−Removed: (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), (ii) the aggregate gross proceeds
−Removed: from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of our
−Removed: initial business combination on the date of the consummation of our initial business combination (net of redemptions), and (iii)
−Removed: the Market Value is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted to be equal to 115% of the
−Removed: higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to
−Removed: the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per share redemption
−Removed: trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
−Removed: This may make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial business combination with a target business.
−Removed: may issue additional common stock or preferred stock to complete our initial business combination or under an employee incentive
−Removed: plan after completion of our initial business combination.
−Removed: We may also issue shares of Class A common stock upon the conversion
−Removed: of the Founder Shares at a ratio greater than one-to-one at the time of our initial business combination as a result of the anti-dilution
−Removed: provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
−Removed: Any such issuances would dilute the interest of
−Removed: our stockholders and likely present other risks.
−Removed: amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 50,000,000 shares of Class A common stock,
−Removed: par value $0.0001 per share, 12,500,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred
−Removed: stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2020, there were 38,500,000 and 9,625,000 authorized but unissued shares
−Removed: of Class A common stock and Class B common stock, respectively, available for issuance, which Class A amount does not take into
−Removed: account the shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of any outstanding warrants or the shares
−Removed: of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding Class B common stock.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2020, there
−Removed: were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.
−Removed: Shares of Founder Shares are convertible into shares of our Class A
−Removed: common stock initially at a one- for-one ratio but subject to adjustment as set forth herein, including in certain circumstances
−Removed: in which we issue Class A common stock or equity-linked securities related to our initial business combination.
−Removed: may issue a substantial number of additional shares of common or preferred stock to complete our initial business combination
−Removed: or under an employee incentive plan after completion of our initial business combination.
−Removed: We may also issue shares of Class A
−Removed: common stock to redeem the warrants as described in “Description of Securities —
−Removed: Redeemable Warrants —
−Removed: of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00”
−Removed: or upon conversion of the Class B
−Removed: common stock at a ratio greater than one-to-one at the time of our initial business combination as a result of the anti-dilution
−Removed: provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation.
−Removed: Our Class B common stock shall only be convertible at the time
−Removed: of our initial business combination.
−Removed: However, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides, among other things,
−Removed: that prior to our initial business combination, we may not issue additional securities that would entitle the holders thereof,
−Removed: to (1) receive funds from the trust account or (2) vote as a class with our Public Shares (a) on any initial business
−Removed: combination or (b) to approve an amendment to our certificate of incorporation.
−Removed: The restriction on issuing additional shares
−Removed: of capital stock described in the prior sentence will expire upon consummation of our initial business combination.
−Removed: issuance of additional shares of common or preferred stock:
−Removed: significantly dilute the equity interest of our stockholders, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in
−Removed: the Class B common stock resulted in the issuance of Class A shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion
−Removed: of the Class B common stock;
−Removed: subordinate the rights of holders of our common stock if preferred stock is issued with rights senior to those afforded our common
−Removed: cause a change of control if a substantial number of shares of our common stock is issued, which may affect, among other things,
−Removed: our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present
−Removed: officers and directors;
−Removed: have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of a person
−Removed: seeking to obtain control of us;
−Removed: adversely affect prevailing market prices for our units, Class A common stock and/or warrants;
−Removed: not result in adjustment to the exercise price of our warrants.
−Removed: may issue notes or other debt securities, or otherwise incur substantial debt, to complete an initial business combination, which
−Removed: may adversely affect our leverage and financial condition and thus negatively impact the value of our stockholders’
−Removed: we have no commitments as of December 31, 2020 to issue any notes or other debt securities, or to otherwise incur outstanding
−Removed: debt, we may choose to incur substantial debt to complete our initial business combination.
−Removed: We have agreed that we will not incur
−Removed: any indebtedness unless we have obtained from the lender a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to
−Removed: the monies held in the Trust Account.
−Removed: As such, no issuance of debt will affect the per-share amount available for redemption from
−Removed: the Trust Account.
−Removed: Nevertheless, the incurrence of debt could have a variety of negative effects, including:
−Removed: and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial business combination are insufficient to repay our debt
−Removed: ● acceleration
−Removed: of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain
−Removed: covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;
−Removed: immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt is payable on demand;
−Removed: inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing
−Removed: while the debt is outstanding;
−Removed: inability to pay dividends on our common stock;
−Removed: a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends
−Removed: on our common stock if declared, our ability to pay expenses, make capital expenditures and acquisitions, and fund other general
−Removed: corporate purposes;
−Removed: ● limitations
−Removed: on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;
−Removed: vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation;
−Removed: ● limitations
−Removed: on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, and execution
−Removed: of our strategy;
−Removed: purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.
−Removed: may be able to complete only one business combination with the proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement Warrants,
−Removed: which will cause us to be solely dependent on a single business, which may have a limited number of products or services and limited
−Removed: operating activities.
−Removed: This lack of diversification may negatively impact our operating results and profitability.
−Removed: the net proceeds from our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement Warrants, $115,000,000 may be used to complete our initial
−Removed: business combination and pay related fees and expenses (which includes $4,025,000 for the payment of the deferred underwriting
−Removed: commission being held in the Trust Account).
−Removed: may complete our initial business combination with a single target business or multiple target businesses simultaneously or within
−Removed: a short period of time.
−Removed: However, we may not be able to complete our initial business combination with more than one target business
−Removed: because of various factors, including the existence of complex accounting issues and the requirement that we prepare and file
−Removed: pro forma financial statements with the SEC that present operating results and the financial condition of several target businesses
−Removed: as if they had been operated on a combined basis.
−Removed: By completing our initial business combination with only a single entity, our
−Removed: lack of diversification may subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments.
−Removed: Further, we would not be
−Removed: able to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses, unlike other entities
−Removed: which may have the resources to complete several business combinations in different industries or different areas of a single
−Removed: In addition, we intend to focus our search for an initial business combination in a single industry.
−Removed: Accordingly, the
−Removed: prospects for our success may be:
−Removed: dependent upon the performance of a single business, property or asset;
−Removed: upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services.
−Removed: lack of diversification may subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory risks, any or all of which may have a
−Removed: substantial adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent to our initial business combination.
−Removed: may attempt to simultaneously complete business combinations with multiple prospective targets, which may hinder our ability to
−Removed: complete our initial business combination and give rise to increased costs and risks that could negatively impact our operations
−Removed: and profitability.
−Removed: we determine to simultaneously acquire several businesses that are owned by different sellers, we will need for each of such sellers
−Removed: to agree that our purchase of its business is contingent on the simultaneous closings of the other business combinations, which
−Removed: may make it more difficult for us, and delay our ability to complete our initial business combination.
−Removed: We do not, however, intend
−Removed: to purchase multiple businesses in unrelated industries in conjunction with our initial business combination.
−Removed: With multiple business
−Removed: combinations, we could also face additional risks, including additional burdens and costs with respect to possible multiple negotiations
−Removed: and due diligence investigations (if there are multiple sellers) and the additional risks associated with the subsequent assimilation
−Removed: of the operations and services or products of the acquired companies in a single operating business.
−Removed: If we are unable to adequately
−Removed: address these risks, it could negatively impact our profitability and results of operations.
−Removed: could be wasted in researching business combinations that are not completed, which could materially adversely affect subsequent
−Removed: attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business.
−Removed: If we are unable to complete our initial business combination,
−Removed: our public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, on
−Removed: the liquidation of our Trust Account and our warrants will expire worthless.
−Removed: anticipate that the investigation of each specific target business and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements,
−Removed: disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial costs for accountants,
−Removed: attorneys, consultants and others.
−Removed: If we decide not to complete a specific initial business combination, the costs incurred up
−Removed: to that point for the proposed transaction likely would not be recoverable.
−Removed: Furthermore, if we reach an agreement relating to
−Removed: a specific target business, we may fail to complete our initial business combination for any number of reasons, including those
−Removed: beyond our control.
−Removed: Any such event will result in a loss to us of the related costs incurred, which could materially adversely
−Removed: affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business.
−Removed: If we are unable to complete our initial business
−Removed: combination, our public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share on the liquidation of our Trust Account and
−Removed: our warrants will expire worthless.
−Removed: In certain circumstances, our public stockholders may receive less than $10.00 per share on
−Removed: the redemption of their shares.
−Removed: See “If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could
−Removed: be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share”
−Removed: and other risk
−Removed: factors herein.
−Removed: may be unable to obtain additional financing to complete our initial business combination or to fund the operations and growth
−Removed: of a target business, which could compel us to restructure or abandon a particular business combination.
−Removed: intend to target businesses with enterprise values that are greater than we could acquire with the net proceeds of our Initial
−Removed: Public Offering and Private Placement Warrants.
−Removed: As a result, if the cash portion of the purchase price exceeds the amount available
−Removed: from the Trust Account, net of amounts needed to satisfy any redemption by public stockholders, we may be required to seek additional
−Removed: financing to complete such proposed initial business combination.
−Removed: There can be no assurance that such financing will be available
−Removed: on acceptable terms, if at all.
−Removed: To the extent that additional financing proves to be unavailable when needed to complete our initial
−Removed: business combination, we would be compelled to either restructure the transaction or abandon that particular business combination
−Removed: and seek an alternative target business candidate.
−Removed: Further, we may be required to obtain additional financing in connection with
−Removed: the closing of our initial business combination for general corporate purposes, including for maintenance or expansion of operations
−Removed: of the post-transaction businesses, the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in completing our initial
−Removed: business combination, or to fund the purchase of other companies.
−Removed: If we are unable to complete our initial business combination,
−Removed: our public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in
−Removed: the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes on the liquidation of our Trust Account and our warrants
−Removed: will expire worthless.
−Removed: In addition, even if we do not need additional financing to complete our initial business combination,
−Removed: we may require such financing to fund the operations or growth of the target business.
−Removed: The failure to secure additional financing
−Removed: could have a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth of the target business.
−Removed: Neither our Sponsor nor any
−Removed: of our officers, directors or stockholders is required to provide any financing to us in connection with or after our initial
−Removed: business combination.
−Removed: If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may only receive
−Removed: approximately $10.00 per share on the liquidation of our Trust Account, and our warrants will expire worthless.
−Removed: Furthermore, as
−Removed: described in the risk factor entitled “If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the Trust Account
−Removed: could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share,”
−Removed: certain circumstances our public stockholders may receive less than $10.00 per share upon the liquidation of the Trust Account.
−Removed: are not required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or from another independent entity that commonly
−Removed: renders valuation opinions, and consequently, stockholders may have no assurance from an independent source that the price we
−Removed: are paying for the target(s) of our initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view.
−Removed: we complete our initial business combination with an affiliated entity or our board of directors cannot independently determine
−Removed: the fair market value of the target business or businesses (including with the assistance of financial advisors), we are not required
−Removed: to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or from another independent entity that commonly renders valuation
−Removed: opinion that the price we are paying is fair to our company from a financial point of view.
−Removed: If no opinion is obtained, our stockholders
−Removed: will be relying on the judgment of our board of directors, who will determine fair market value based on standards generally accepted
−Removed: by the financial community.
−Removed: Such standards used will be disclosed in our proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable,
−Removed: related to our initial business combination.
−Removed: of our limited resources and the significant competition for business combination opportunities, it may be more difficult for
−Removed: us to complete our initial business combination.
−Removed: If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders
−Removed: may receive only approximately $10.00 per share on our redemption of our Public Shares, or less than such amount in certain circumstances,
−Removed: and our warrants will expire worthless.
−Removed: expect to encounter competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including private investors (which
−Removed: may be individuals or investment partnerships), other blank check companies and other entities, domestic and international, competing
−Removed: for the types of businesses we intend to acquire.
−Removed: Many of these individuals and entities are well-established and have extensive
−Removed: experience in identifying and effecting, directly or indirectly, acquisitions of companies operating in or providing services
−Removed: to various industries.
−Removed: Many of these competitors possess similar or greater technical, human and other resources to ours, and
−Removed: our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors.
−Removed: While we believe there
−Removed: are numerous target businesses we could potentially acquire with the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale
−Removed: of the private placement warrants, our ability to compete with respect to the acquisition of certain target businesses that are
−Removed: sizable will be limited by our available financial resources.
−Removed: This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in
−Removed: pursuing the acquisition of certain target businesses.
−Removed: because we are obligated to pay cash for the shares of Class A common stock which our public stockholders redeem in connection
−Removed: with our initial business combination, target companies will be aware that this may reduce the resources available to us for our
−Removed: initial business combination.
−Removed: Any of these obligations may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating
−Removed: an initial business combination.
−Removed: If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may receive
−Removed: only approximately $10.00 per share on the liquidation of our Trust Account and our warrants will expire worthless.
−Removed: circumstances, our public stockholders may receive less than $10.00 per share upon our liquidation.
−Removed: See “If third parties
−Removed: bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received
−Removed: by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share”
−Removed: and other risk factors below.
−Removed: search for a business combination, and any target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, may be
−Removed: materially adversely affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the status of debt and equity markets.
−Removed: COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected, and other events (such as terrorist attacks, natural disasters or a significant
−Removed: outbreak of other infectious diseases) could adversely affect, the economies and financial markets worldwide, and the business
−Removed: of any potential target business with which we consummate an initial business combination could be materially and adversely affected.
−Removed: Furthermore, we may be unable to complete an initial business combination if concerns relating to COVID-19 continue to restrict
−Removed: travel, limit the ability to have meetings with potential investors or the target company’s personnel, vendors and services
−Removed: providers are unavailable to negotiate and consummate a transaction in a timely manner.
−Removed: The extent to which COVID-19 impacts
−Removed: our search for an initial business combination will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted,
−Removed: including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or
−Removed: treat its impact, among others.
−Removed: If the disruptions posed by COVID-19 or other events (such as terrorist attacks, natural
−Removed: disasters or a significant outbreak of other infectious diseases) continue for an extensive period of time, our ability to consummate
−Removed: an initial business combination, or the operations of a target business with which we ultimately consummate an initial business
−Removed: combination, may be materially adversely affected.
−Removed: addition, our ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may
−Removed: be impacted by COVID-19 and other events, including as a result of increased market volatility, decreased market liquidity in
−Removed: third- party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to us or at all.
−Removed: the number of special purpose acquisition companies evaluating targets increases, attractive targets may become scarcer and there
−Removed: may be more competition for attractive targets.
−Removed: This could increase the cost of our initial business combination and could even
−Removed: result in our inability to find a target or to consummate an initial business combination.
−Removed: recent years and especially in the last several months, the number of special purpose acquisition companies that have been formed
−Removed: has increased substantially.
−Removed: Many potential targets for special purpose acquisition companies have already entered into an initial
−Removed: business combination, and there are still many special purpose acquisition companies seeking targets for their initial business
−Removed: combination, as well as many such companies currently in registration.
−Removed: As a result, at times, fewer attractive targets may be
−Removed: available, and it may require more time, more effort and more resources to identify a suitable target and to consummate an initial
−Removed: business combination.
−Removed: addition, because there are more special purpose acquisition companies seeking to enter into an initial business combination with
−Removed: available targets, the competition for available targets with attractive fundamentals or business models may increase, which could
−Removed: cause targets companies to demand improved financial terms.
−Removed: Attractive deals could also become scarcer for other reasons, such
−Removed: as economic or industry sector downturns, geopolitical tensions, or increases in the cost of additional capital needed to close
−Removed: business combinations or operate targets post-business combination.
−Removed: This could increase the cost of, delay or otherwise complicate
−Removed: or frustrate our ability to find and consummate an initial business combination, and may result in our inability to consummate
−Removed: an initial business combination on terms favorable to our investors altogether.
−Removed: in the market for directors’
−Removed: and officers’
−Removed: liability insurance could make it more difficult and more expensive for
−Removed: us to negotiate and complete an initial business combination.
−Removed: recent months, the market for directors’
−Removed: and officers’
−Removed: liability insurance for special purpose acquisition companies
−Removed: The premiums charged for such policies have generally increased and the terms of such policies have generally become
−Removed: less favorable.
−Removed: There can be no assurance that these trends will not continue.
−Removed: increased cost and decreased availability of directors’
−Removed: and officers’
−Removed: liability insurance could make it more difficult
−Removed: and more expensive for us to negotiate an initial business combination.
−Removed: In order to obtain directors’
−Removed: and officers’
−Removed: liability insurance or modify its coverage as a result of becoming a public company, the post-business combination entity might
−Removed: need to incur greater expense, accept less favorable terms or both.
−Removed: However, any failure to obtain adequate directors’
−Removed: officers’
−Removed: liability insurance could have an adverse impact on the post-business combination’s ability to attract and
−Removed: retain qualified officers and directors.
−Removed: addition, even after we were to complete an initial business combination, our directors and officers could still be subject to
−Removed: potential liability from claims arising from conduct alleged to have occurred prior to the initial business combination.
−Removed: result, in order to protect our directors and officers, the post-business combination entity will likely need to purchase additional
−Removed: insurance with respect to any such claims (“run-off insurance”).
−Removed: The need for run-off insurance would be an added
−Removed: expense for the post-business combination entity, and could interfere with or frustrate our ability to consummate an initial business
−Removed: combination on terms favorable to our investors.
−Removed: may not be able to complete our initial business combination by October 19, 2022, in which case we would cease all operations
−Removed: except for the purpose of winding up and we would redeem our Public Shares and liquidate, in which case our public stockholders
−Removed: may receive only $10.00 per share, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, and our warrants will expire worthless.
−Removed: amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we must complete our initial business combination by October 19,
−Removed: 2022 (within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering).
−Removed: We may not be able to find a suitable target business
−Removed: and complete our initial business combination within such time period.
−Removed: Our ability to complete our initial business combination
−Removed: may be negatively impacted by general market conditions, political considerations, volatility in the capital and debt markets
−Removed: and the other risks described herein.
−Removed: If we have not completed our initial business combination within such time period, we will:
−Removed: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business
−Removed: days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit
−Removed: in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay
−Removed: our taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares,
−Removed: which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’
−Removed: rights as stockholders (including the right to receive
−Removed: further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such
−Removed: redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject
−Removed: in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable
−Removed: In such case, our public stockholders may receive only $10.00 per share, and our warrants will expire worthless.
−Removed: circumstances, our public stockholders may receive less than $10.00 per share on the redemption of their shares.
−Removed: See “If
−Removed: third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount
−Removed: received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share”
−Removed: and other risk factors below.
−Removed: we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination, our Sponsor and our officers, directors and their affiliates
−Removed: may enter into certain transactions, including purchasing shares or warrants from the public, which may influence the outcome
−Removed: of a proposed business combination and reduce the public “float”
−Removed: of our securities.
−Removed: we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial
−Removed: business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our Sponsor and our officers, directors and their affiliates may purchase
−Removed: Public Shares or Public Warrants or a combination thereof in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior
−Removed: to or following the completion of our initial business combination, although they are under no obligation to do so.
−Removed: a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of our shares is
−Removed: no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights.
−Removed: In the event that our Sponsor
−Removed: and our officers, directors and affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public stockholders who have
−Removed: already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections
−Removed: to redeem their shares.
−Removed: Additionally, at any time at or prior to our initial business combination, subject to applicable securities
−Removed: laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), our Sponsor and our officers, directors and affiliates may enter
−Removed: into transactions with investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares, vote their Public Shares
−Removed: in favor of our initial business combination or not redeem their Public Shares.
−Removed: However, they have no current commitments, plans
−Removed: or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions.
−Removed: of any such transaction could be to (1) vote such shares in favor of the initial business combination and thereby increase
−Removed: the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the initial business combination, (2) reduce the number of Public Warrants
−Removed: outstanding or to vote such warrants on any matters submitted to the warrant holders for approval in connection with our initial
−Removed: business combination or (3) satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires us to have a minimum
−Removed: net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of our initial business combination, where it appears that such requirement
−Removed: would otherwise not be met.
−Removed: This may result in the completion of our initial business combination that may not otherwise have
−Removed: been possible.
−Removed: addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float”
−Removed: of our Class A common stock or warrants and the number
−Removed: of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to obtain or maintain the quotation, listing
−Removed: or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.
−Removed: a stockholder fails to receive notice of our offer to redeem our Public Shares in connection with our initial business combination,
−Removed: or fails to comply with the procedures for submitting or tendering its shares, such shares may not be redeemed.
−Removed: will comply with the proxy rules or tender offer rules, as applicable, when conducting redemptions in connection with our initial
−Removed: business combination.
−Removed: Despite our compliance with these rules, if a stockholder fails to receive our proxy materials or tender
−Removed: offer documents, as applicable, such stockholder may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem its shares.
−Removed: In addition, proxy
−Removed: materials or tender offer documents, as applicable, that we will furnish to holders of our Public Shares in connection with our
−Removed: initial business combination will describe the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly tender or submit
−Removed: Public Shares for redemption.
−Removed: For example, we intend to require our public stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights,
−Removed: whether they are record holders or hold their shares in “street name,”
−Removed: to, at the holder’s option, either deliver
−Removed: their stock certificates to our transfer agent, or to deliver their shares to our transfer agent electronically prior to the date
−Removed: set forth in the proxy materials or tender offer documents, as applicable.
−Removed: In the case of proxy materials, this date may be up
−Removed: to two business days prior to the vote on the proposal to approve the initial business combination.
−Removed: In addition, if we conduct
−Removed: redemptions in connection with a stockholder vote, we intend to require a public stockholder seeking redemption of its Public
−Removed: Shares to also submit a written request for redemption to our transfer agent two business days prior to the vote in which the
−Removed: name of the beneficial owner of such shares is included.
−Removed: In the event that a stockholder fails to comply with these or any other
−Removed: procedures disclosed in the proxy or tender offer materials, as applicable, its shares may not be redeemed.
−Removed: stockholders do not have any rights or interests in funds from the Trust Account, except under certain limited circumstances.
−Removed: To liquidate their investment, therefore, stockholders may be forced to sell their Public Shares or warrants, potentially at a
−Removed: public stockholders are entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only upon the earliest to occur of:
−Removed: (i) our completion
−Removed: of an initial business combination, and then only in connection with those shares of Class A common stock that such stockholder
−Removed: properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein, (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted
−Removed: in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of our obligation
−Removed: to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by October 19, 2022, or to provide
−Removed: for redemption in connection with a business combination and (iii) the redemption of our Public Shares if we are unable to complete
−Removed: an initial business combination by October 19, 2022, subject to applicable law and as further described herein.
+Added: Risk Factors.
+Added: Related to DocGo’s Business Strategy
+Added: failure to implement its business strategy could adversely affect its business.
+Added: future financial performance and success is dependent in large part upon its ability to implement its business strategy successfully.
+Added: DocGo’s business strategy includes several initiatives, including developing contractual relationships with new healthcare
+Added: provider partners and expanding its business with existing partners;
+Added: capitalizing on organic growth opportunities such as growing
+Added: complementary and integrated service offerings, particularly with respect to its mobile health solutions;
+Added: pursuing selective acquisitions
+Added: to expand its geographic presence, among other things;
+Added: and enhancing operational efficiencies and productivity.
+Added: DocGo may not
+Added: be able to implement its business strategy successfully or achieve the anticipated benefits of its business plan.
+Added: unable to do so, its long-term growth, profitability and ability to service its debt will be adversely affected.
+Added: DocGo is able to implement some or all of the initiatives of its business plan, one or more may not be successful in achieving
+Added: the desired goals and DocGo’s operating results may not improve to the extent it anticipates, or at all, or could be adversely
+Added: Implementation
+Added: of DocGo’s business strategy could also be affected by a number of factors beyond its control, including increased competition,
+Added: government regulation, general economic conditions or increased operating costs or expenses.
+Added: In particular, DocGo’s future
+Added: success is contingent on DocGo’s ability to penetrate new markets and, to a lesser extent, further penetrate existing markets,
+Added: which is subject to a number of uncertainties, many of which are beyond DocGo’s control.
+Added: Expanding service offerings such
+Added: as DocGo’s mobile health solutions also carries unique risks, including lack of market acceptance and not realizing any
+Added: return on the capital invested.
+Added: Government regulations in both DocGo’s domestic and international markets can also delay
+Added: or prevent expansion or the introduction of new service offerings, or require changes to some of the services DocGo already offers,
+Added: which could negatively impact the success of DocGo’s strategies.
+Added: In addition, to the extent DocGo has misjudged the nature
+Added: and extent of industry trends or its competition, it may have difficulty in identifying new provider partners, achieving any geographic
+Added: expansion, introducing new service offerings or achieving DocGo’s other strategic objectives.
+Added: As such, due to these and
+Added: other known and unknown risks, DocGo cannot assure you that its business strategy will be successful, and any failure to effectively
+Added: implement its business strategy and otherwise grow the business could have a material adverse effect on DocGo’s business,
+Added: financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: reliance on its contractual relationships with its healthcare provider partners and other strategic alliances could adversely
+Added: affect its business.
+Added: relies significantly on its contractual relationships with its healthcare provider partners and other strategic partners and alliances
+Added: to generate revenues, expand into new markets and further penetrate existing markets.
+Added: In recent years, DocGo has entered
+Added: into strategic business relationships with, among others, healthcare providers and hospital systems, to take advantage of commercial
+Added: opportunities across its operations, but particularly in its medical transportation services segment.
+Added: DocGo’s contract with
+Added: Fresenius, under which DocGo generated approximately 7.1% of its revenues in the year ended December 31, 2021, is of particular
+Added: importance to DocGo’s results.
+Added: The structure of DocGo’s relationships with its healthcare provider partners is a novel
+Added: model in DocGo’s industry and because there is little precedent for this approach, there can be no assurances that it will
+Added: be operationally or financially successful in the long term.
+Added: contractual relationships with its healthcare provider partners and its reliance on revenues generated pursuant to these arrangements
+Added: carry commercial and other risks and uncertainties that are different from those underlying DocGo’s other revenue streams,
+Added: including the opportunity cost of not pursuing the specific venture independently or with other partners.
+Added: For example, strategic
+Added: partners may have business or economic interests that are inconsistent with those of DocGo and may take actions contrary to DocGo’s
+Added: While DocGo typically manages the day-to-day operations, DocGo’s partners have certain consent rights
+Added: and they may not agree with decisions that DocGo believes are appropriate or are otherwise in the venture’s or its best
+Added: This structure can also lead to disputes with partners, which could require DocGo’s management to commit additional
+Added: time and resources to resolve any disagreements or, in some instances, may lead to arbitration or litigation.
+Added: Contractual relationships
+Added: like these typically carry termination rights and one or more of DocGo’s partners may choose to exit the relationship prematurely
+Added: and, in certain arrangements, the partner may have the option to put its interest in the venture to DocGo or acquire DocGo’s
+Added: stake at a predetermined price, even if the relationship is proving beneficial to DocGo and it would choose to continue the arrangement.
+Added: If one of DocGo’s ventures or any of its strategic partners is subject to a regulatory investigation or legal dispute or
+Added: is otherwise the subject of any negative publicity, DocGo may be associated with the matter and similarly harmed, regardless of
+Added: whether the specific partnership or DocGo itself had any connection to the underlying matters.
+Added: In addition, DocGo may, in certain
+Added: circumstances, be liable for the actions of its partners.
+Added: Contractual relationships such as these can also raise fraud and abuse
+Added: For example, the Office of Inspector General (the “OIG”) of the U.S.
+Added: Department of Health and Human Services
+Added: (“HHS”) has taken the position that certain contractual relationships between a party which makes referrals and a
+Added: party which receives referrals for a specific type of service may violate the federal Anti-Kickback Statute if not appropriately
+Added: Any of the foregoing risks or others related to DocGo’s reliance on strategic partners and other relationships
+Added: could have a material adverse effect on DocGo’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: incurs significant up-front costs in its client relationships and any inability to maintain and grow these client relationships
+Added: over time or to recover these costs could adversely affect its business.
+Added: business strategy depends heavily on achieving economies of scale because its initial up-front investment is costly and the
+Added: associated revenue is recognized on a ratable basis.
+Added: DocGo devotes significant resources to establish relationships with its clients
+Added: and implement its solutions.
+Added: This is particularly so in the case of large enterprises like those DocGo implements with its healthcare
+Added: provider partners.
+Added: Accordingly, DocGo’s results of operations will depend in substantial part on its ability to maintain
+Added: and grow its relationships with customers over time.
+Added: Additionally, as DocGo’s business is growing significantly, its client
+Added: acquisition costs could outpace its build-up of recurring revenue, and DocGo may be unable to manage its total operating
+Added: costs enough to achieve profitability, or if achieved, to maintain it.
+Added: If DocGo fails to achieve appropriate economies of scale
+Added: or if it fails to manage or anticipate demand, its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially
+Added: adversely affected.
+Added: growth of DocGo’s business depends, in part, on its ability to execute on its acquisition strategy.
+Added: significant portion of DocGo’s historical growth has occurred through acquisitions, and it anticipates continued growth
+Added: through acquisitions in the future.
+Added: DocGo’s growth strategy is primarily focused on geographic expansion, often as part
+Added: of growing its relationship with an existing healthcare provider partner, and DocGo expects acquisitions to be the primary means
+Added: of acquiring the infrastructure, licenses or other resources necessary to enter new markets in the future.
+Added: DocGo is presently
+Added: evaluating, and expects to continue evaluating on an ongoing basis, a variety of possible acquisition transactions.
+Added: cannot predict the timing of any contemplated transactions, and there can be no assurances that DocGo will identify suitable acquisition
+Added: opportunities in the geographies into which it expects to grow or, if it does, that any transaction can be consummated on terms
+Added: acceptable to it.
+Added: DocGo also competes for acquisitions with other potential acquirers, some of which may have greater financial
+Added: or operational resources than DocGo.
+Added: A significant change in DocGo’s business or the economy, an unexpected decrease in
+Added: cash flows or any restrictions imposed by DocGo’s debt may limit its ability to obtain the necessary capital for acquisitions
+Added: or otherwise impede its ability to complete an acquisition.
+Added: Certain proposed acquisitions or dispositions may also trigger regulatory
+Added: review by governmental agencies, including the U.S.
+Added: Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), the U.S.
+Added: Trade Commission(the “FTC”), under their respective regulatory authority.
+Added: Any delay, prohibition or modification required
+Added: by regulatory authorities for competitive purposes or otherwise could adversely affect the terms of a proposed acquisition or
+Added: could require DocGo to modify or abandon an otherwise attractive acquisition opportunity.
+Added: The failure to identify suitable transaction
+Added: partners and to consummate transactions on acceptable terms or at all could adversely affect DocGo’s business, financial
+Added: condition and results of operations.
+Added: acquisition strategy exposes it to significant risks and additional costs.
+Added: involve risks that the businesses acquired will not perform as expected or provide sufficient infrastructure and other resources
+Added: necessary to operate in a given geography and DocGo’s judgments regarding the value, strengths and weaknesses and profitability
+Added: of acquired businesses may prove wrong.
+Added: DocGo may become liable for certain unforeseen pre-acquisition liabilities of an
+Added: acquired business, including, among others, tax liabilities, environmental liabilities, liabilities for regulatory violations
+Added: and liabilities for employment practices, and these liabilities could be significant.
+Added: In addition, an acquisition could result
+Added: in the impairment of client relationships and other acquired assets such as goodwill.
+Added: DocGo may also incur costs and experience
+Added: inefficiencies to the extent an acquisition expands the services, markets or geographies in which it operates.
+Added: Acquisitions may
+Added: require that DocGo incur additional debt to finance the transaction, which could be substantial and limit its operating flexibility
+Added: or, alternatively, acquisitions may require that DocGo issue stock as consideration, which could dilute share ownership.
+Added: can also involve post-transaction disputes regarding a number of matters, including a purchase price or working capital adjustment,
+Added: earn-out or other contingent payments, environmental liabilities or other obligations.
+Added: DocGo’s recent growth and its
+Added: acquisition strategy have placed, and will continue to place, significant demands on management’s time, which may divert
+Added: their attention from DocGo’s day-to-day business operations, and may lead to significant due diligence and other
+Added: expenses regardless of whether DocGo pursues or consummates any acquisition.
+Added: DocGo may also not be able to manage its growth resulting
+Added: from acquisitions due to the number, diversity and geographic disparity of the businesses it may acquire or for other reasons.
+Added: These and other risks related to acquisitions could adversely affect DocGo’s business, financial condition and results of
+Added: inability to successfully integrate acquisitions or realize their anticipated benefits could adversely affect DocGo’s business.
+Added: require that DocGo integrate separate companies that historically operated independently or as part of another, larger organization,
+Added: and had different systems, processes and cultures.
+Added: DocGo may not be able to successfully integrate any business it has acquired
+Added: or may acquire, or may not be able to do so in a timely, efficient or cost-effective manner.
+Added: Risks related to the successful
+Added: integration of an acquired business include:
+Added: the attention of DocGo’s management and that of the acquired business;
+Added: or linking different accounting and financial reporting systems and systems of internal controls and, in some instances, implementing
+Added: new controls and procedures;
+Added: computer, technology and other information networks and systems, including enterprise resource planning systems and billing systems;
+Added: ● assimilating
+Added: personnel, human resources, billing and collections, and other administrative departments and potentially contrasting corporate cultures;
+Added: relationships with or losses of key clients and suppliers of DocGo’s business or the acquired business;
+Added: ● interfering
+Added: with, or loss of momentum in, DocGo’s ongoing business or that of the acquired company;
+Added: to retain DocGo’s key personnel or that of the acquired company;
+Added: or cost-overruns in the integration process.
+Added: inability to manage its growth through acquisitions, including the integration process, and to realize the anticipated benefits
+Added: of an acquisition could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: Related to DocGo’s Business and Industry
+Added: COVID-19 pandemic has materially impacted DocGo’s business.
+Added: December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) surfaced in Wuhan, China.
+Added: Since then, the virus has spread globally,
+Added: including to the United States, and the World Health Organization has declared the outbreak a pandemic and the Secretary
+Added: of HHS has declared a public health emergency.
+Added: Public health organizations and international, federal, state and local governments
+Added: have implemented measures to combat the spread of COVID-19, including restrictions on movement such as quarantines, “stay-at-home”
+Added: orders and social distancing ordinances and restricting or prohibiting outright some or all forms of commercial and business activity.
+Added: These measures, or others that may be implemented in the future, although temporary in nature, may become more restrictive or
+Added: continue indefinitely.
+Added: COVID-19 pandemic and its national and global impact have adversely affected DocGo, particularly in its healthcare transportation
+Added: segment, and this segment and other aspects of DocGo’s business may be adversely affected by the pandemic and its impact in the
+Added: DocGo’s and its customers’ businesses have generally been classified as “essential” in most jurisdictions,
+Added: permitting DocGo and its customers to continue operations in most markets.
+Added: However, there can be no assurance that DocGo’s business
+Added: or those of its customers’ and suppliers’ will continue to be classified as “essential” in the future, or that
+Added: DocGo or they will not voluntarily limit or cease operations in one or more markets if it or they believe it is in the company’s
+Added: or their best interests.
+Added: For example, healthcare providers have limited the availability of elective procedures, at times entirely stopping
+Added: these procedures, which has had an adverse impact on DocGo’s revenues related to non-emergency transportation services.
+Added: has also determined to increase its reserves for bad debt since the pandemic began because of uncertainty regarding payments from some
+Added: uninsured consumers.
+Added: Further, DocGo’s business can put its healthcare professionals in direct contact with patients infected with
+Added: COVID-19, which significantly increases the risk that DocGo employees will contract the virus.
+Added: Should there be an outbreak of COVID-19 among
+Added: DocGo’s employees in one or more of its markets, in response, DocGo may need to significantly reduce or cease operations there.
+Added: The demands of the pandemic have also placed significant financial burdens on healthcare providers, including DocGo’s healthcare
+Added: provider partners and other customers, and if one or more of DocGo’s partners or other customers declare bankruptcy or otherwise
+Added: restrict or cease its operations, DocGo’s business may be harmed.
+Added: The pandemic may also adversely affect DocGo’s ability to
+Added: collect accounts receivable.
+Added: DocGo also utilized several government programs in 2020 related to the pandemic, receiving approximately
+Added: $1.0 million in payments through the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund authorized under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief
+Added: and Economic Security Act and related legislation as well as various state and local programs, net of amounts that will be repaid to HHS.
+Added: also received accelerated Medicare payments of approximately $2.4 million that were required to be repaid beginning in April 2021.
+Added: See Note 19 to the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements of DocGo included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form
+Added: cost structure has also been adversely impacted by the pandemic.
+Added: A number of DocGo’s suppliers have also been negatively impacted
+Added: by the COVID-19 pandemic and there have been significant disruptions in its supply chains, particularly with respect to the personal
+Added: protective equipment, or PPE, that DocGo’s healthcare professionals require to do their jobs.
+Added: At times, sufficient levels of PPE
+Added: have not been available and these shortages have limited DocGo’s ability to meet demand and provide its services to customers in
+Added: a timely manner.
+Added: Further, the demand for PPE in the healthcare industry and the public at large caused by the pandemic has significantly
+Added: increased the cost of PPE and DocGo may not be able to recover these increased costs in the rates it charges for its services, which could
+Added: adversely affect DocGo’s profitability.
+Added: Limitations on the availability or increases in the price of PPE have and could in the future
+Added: continue to adversely affect DocGo’s business and results of operations.
+Added: DocGo’s suppliers’ businesses have similarly
+Added: generally been classified as “essential business” permitting operations to continue, but DocGo cannot be certain that its
+Added: suppliers will continue to be classified as “essential” or that they will not voluntarily limit or cease operations or that
+Added: a sufficient quantity of PPE will be available and at prices that fit within DocGo’s cost structure.
+Added: management is focused on mitigating the impact of COVID-19 on its business and the risk to its employees.
+Added: This focus has
+Added: diverted management’s attention away from normal business operations.
+Added: Additionally, DocGo has taken a number of precautionary
+Added: measures intended to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on its business and the risk to its employees, including implementing
+Added: detailed cleaning and disinfecting processes at its facilities and across its fleet, adhering to social distancing protocols and
+Added: encouraging employees to work from home when possible, any of which could adversely affect DocGo’s business.
+Added: measures and others DocGo may take are temporary, they may continue until the pandemic is contained and restrictions on movement
+Added: or commercial and business activity and related orders or ordinances are sufficiently modified or lifted, and could amplify existing
+Added: risks or introduce new risks that could adversely affect DocGo’s business, including, but not limited to, risks related
+Added: to internal controls and cybersecurity and others identified in these risk factors.
+Added: For example, DocGo’s platform and the
+Added: other systems or networks used in its business may experience an increase in attempted cyberattacks seeking to take advantage
+Added: of shifts to employees working remotely using their household or personal Internet networks and to leverage fears promulgated
+Added: by the COVID-19 pandemic.
+Added: the pandemic has significantly increased the demand for DocGo’s remote and mobile testing and vaccination services and many of these
+Added: contracts are on a short-term basis, often spanning only a number of weeks or months.
+Added: Much of DocGo’s revenue, employee
+Added: and operations growth has occurred during recent years, which has been partially driven by significant COVID-related impacts.
+Added: the Company estimates that COVID testing relating revenue for 2021 was approximately $110 million.
+Added: Our ability to forecast our future
+Added: operating results is limited and subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to predict revenue and expense levels, and
+Added: plan for and model future growth.
+Added: Moreover, it is unlikely this new demand will be sustained in the long term, at least with respect to
+Added: COVID-19-related testing and vaccination, particularly if the pandemic subsides, and there can be no assurances that DocGo will be
+Added: able to find alternative revenue streams to compensate for the loss.
+Added: These uncertainties are exacerbated by the effects of the Covid-19
+Added: pandemic has adversely affected many industries as well as the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the
+Added: United States, causing a significant deceleration of economic activity.
+Added: This slowdown has reduced production, decreased demand
+Added: for a broad variety of goods and services, diminished trade levels, and led to widespread corporate downsizing, causing a sharp
+Added: increase in unemployment.
+Added: There has also been disruption to and extreme volatility in the global capital markets, which could
+Added: increase the cost of, or entirely restrict access to, capital.
+Added: The impact of this pandemic on the U.S.
+Added: and world economies
+Added: is uncertain and, until the pandemic is contained, these adverse impacts could worsen, impacting all segments of the global economy,
+Added: and result in a significant recession or worse.
+Added: the detrimental business impacts of COVID-19 moderated somewhat in 2021 as compared to 2020, considerable uncertainty still surrounds
+Added: the COVID-19 virus and its potential effects, including potential future variants of the virus and the extent of and effectiveness
+Added: of any responses taken on local, state, national and global levels.
+Added: While DocGo expects the pandemic and related events will continue
+Added: to impact its business, the unpredictable and unprecedented nature of the pandemic, including new variants and the extent to which
+Added: vaccines will be made available globally, makes it impractical to identify all potential risks or estimate the full extent and
+Added: scope of the impact on DocGo’s business and industry, as well as national, regional and global markets and economies.
+Added: DocGo’s ability to conduct its business in the manner previously or currently expected could be materially and adversely
+Added: affected, and any of the foregoing risks and uncertainties as well as those that have not yet manifested themselves or been identified
+Added: could materially and adversely affect DocGo’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: The pandemic may
+Added: also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described herein.
+Added: high level of competition in DocGo’s industry could adversely affect its business.
+Added: medical transportation industry is highly competitive.
+Added: In providing these services to DocGo’s healthcare provider partners,
+Added: individual customers and municipalities, DocGo competes with governmental entities, including cities and fire districts, hospitals,
+Added: local and volunteer private providers, as well as other regional and local private companies.
+Added: The industry also includes several
+Added: large national and regional providers such as Rural/Metro Corporation, Falck, American Medical Response (AMR), Southwest Ambulance,
+Added: Paramedics Plus and Acadian Ambulance.
+Added: The most important competitive factors in the medical transportation services industry
+Added: include the ability to improve customer service, such as on-time performance and efficient call intake;
+Added: to provide comprehensive
+Added: clinical care;
+Added: and to recruit, train and motivate employees, particularly ambulance crews who have direct contact with patients
+Added: and healthcare personnel.
+Added: Pricing, billing and reimbursement expertise are also very important.
+Added: the telehealth market is in an early stage of development, it is competitive and DocGo expects it to attract increased competition,
+Added: which could make it difficult for DocGo to succeed.
+Added: The major competitors in the industry include much larger, national or regional
+Added: telehealth providers such as Teladoc, Livongo, Amwell, and One Medical that generally provide telehealth on behalf of self-insured employers
+Added: and insurance plans.
+Added: These competitors, however, generally do not provide direct patient care or last-mile care on behalf
+Added: of the provider organization.
+Added: DocGo also believes there are several smaller, private organizations providing in-home or in-site care
+Added: utilizing different, higher cost healthcare providers.
+Added: Non-traditional providers and others such as large health systems
+Added: or payors, some of which may be DocGo customers or partners, may enter the space using consumer-grade video conferencing
+Added: platforms such as Zoom and Twilio or develop innovative technologies or business activities that could be disruptive to the industry.
+Added: Competition could also increase from large technology companies such as Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Verizon, or Microsoft, who may
+Added: develop their own telehealth solutions, as well as from large retailers like Walmart, which see an opportunity in the surge in
+Added: interest in telehealth in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.
+Added: Competition in the telehealth industry is primarily based
+Added: ease of use, convenience and accessibility;
+Added: brand recognition;
+Added: breadth, depth, and efficacy of telehealth services;
+Added: clinical quality;
+Added: customer support;
+Added: and customer satisfaction and value.
+Added: may not be successful in maintaining or growing its competitive position in one or more of its existing markets or in those into
+Added: which it may expand.
+Added: Some of DocGo’s competitors may have access to greater financial or other resources than it does, which
+Added: may afford them greater power, efficiency, financial flexibility, geographical reach or capital resources for growth.
+Added: some of DocGo’s competitors are vertically integrated and can leverage this structure to their advantage.
+Added: DocGo may fail
+Added: to identify optimal service or geographic markets, focus its attention on suboptimal service or geographic markets or fail to
+Added: execute an appropriate business model in certain service or geographic markets.
+Added: DocGo’s competitors may develop new services
+Added: or technologies that are superior to DocGo’s, develop more efficient or effective methods of providing services or adapt
+Added: more quickly, efficiently or effectively than DocGo does to new technologies and opportunities.
+Added: DocGo’s competitors may
+Added: be positioned to provide better service or influence customer requirements, or more quickly respond to changing customer requirements,
+Added: and thereby establish stronger customer relationships.
+Added: DocGo’s competitors may offer their services at lower prices because,
+Added: among other things, they possess the ability to provide similar services more efficiently, as part of a bundle with other services
+Added: or generally at a lower cost.
+Added: These pricing pressures could require DocGo to lower its prices to at or below its costs, requiring
+Added: DocGo to sacrifice margins or incur losses.
+Added: Alternatively, DocGo may choose to forgo entering certain markets or exit others,
+Added: which would limit its growth and competitive reach.
+Added: Any failure by DocGo to compete or to generally maintain and improve its competitive
+Added: position could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: revenue would be adversely affected if it loses some or all of its business under existing contracts.
+Added: significant portion of DocGo’s revenue growth has historically resulted from increases in the business and related fees
+Added: it collects under existing contracts and the addition of new contracts.
+Added: DocGo’s contracts with healthcare providers and
+Added: other customers generally have terms of one to three years and most of its contracts are terminable by either of the parties
+Added: upon notice of as little as 30 days.
+Added: Many of the pandemic-specific testing and vaccination contracts have much shorter
+Added: terms, as little as a number of weeks or months, and there is no certainty these revenue streams can be sustained at
+Added: existing levels, regardless of whether the pandemic is brought under control.
+Added: Even if DocGo has an existing contract with a healthcare
+Added: provider it does not create any exclusive relationship and even if DocGo is given preferred status, the customer often still does
+Added: business with one or more of DocGo’s competitors.
+Added: For example, execution under DocGo’s medical transportation services
+Added: contracts requires that an ambulance or other necessary fleet vehicle be available and within a certain proximity and the time
+Added: of need and, if one is not, the customer will seek alternative options.
+Added: Furthermore, certain of DocGo’s contracts will expire
+Added: during each fiscal period, and DocGo may be required to seek renewal of these contracts through a formal bidding process that
+Added: often requires written responses to a request for proposal.
+Added: Even if DocGo is successful in renewing the contract, it may contain
+Added: terms that are not as favorable to DocGo as its current contracts.
+Added: There can be no assurances that DocGo will successfully retain
+Added: its existing contracts and any loss of contracts or reduction in services provided thereunder or under any renewal would have
+Added: a material adverse effect on DocGo’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: reliance on government contracts could adversely affect its business.
+Added: DocGo’s government contract work historically represented a small portion of its revenue, this work has recently increased substantially,
+Added: representing approximately 7.3% and 65.1% of DocGo’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively,
+Added: and maintaining and continuing to grow this revenue stream is an important part of DocGo’s growth strategy.
+Added: However, government
+Added: contract work is subject to significant risks and uncertainties.
+Added: Only eligible parties can bid on and service most government contracts,
+Added: which requires DocGo to comply with various statutes, rules, regulations and other governmental policies, including those related to wages,
+Added: benefits, overtime, working conditions, equal employment opportunity, affirmative action and drug testing.
+Added: If DocGo fails to comply with
+Added: any of these requirements it may be suspended or debarred from government work or subject to various administrative sanctions and civil
+Added: and criminal penalties and fines.
+Added: Government contract work subjects DocGo to government audits, investigations, and proceedings, which
+Added: can cause similar results if it is determined that a statute, rule, regulation, policy or contractual provision has been violated.
+Added: can also lead to adjustments to the amount of contract costs DocGo believes are reimbursable or the ultimate amount DocGo may be paid
+Added: under the agreement.
+Added: Additionally,
+Added: governments are typically under no obligation to maintain funding at any specific level, and funds for government programs can
+Added: be eliminated with little or no notice.
+Added: As a result, contracts with government agencies may only be partially funded or may be
+Added: terminated, and DocGo may not realize all of the potential revenue from those contracts.
+Added: Government contracts typically can be
+Added: paused or canceled entirely at any time, in whole or in part, for the government’s convenience or for default with little
+Added: or no prior notice.
+Added: Under these circumstances, the contractor typically receives payment only for the lesser of the work completed
+Added: or the amount authorized under the contract, but not the anticipated revenue and profit that would have been earned had the contract
+Added: been completed.
+Added: A temporary stoppage or delay or the complete cancellation of a project can create inefficiencies, such as leaving
+Added: portions of DocGo’s fleet idle for a significant period of time, cause DocGo to lose some or all of its investment in the
+Added: project or result in financial and other damages that DocGo may not be able to recover from the government.
+Added: The timing of project
+Added: awards, including expansions of existing projects, is also unpredictable and can involve complex and lengthy negotiations and
+Added: competitive bidding processes.
+Added: Other risks associated with government contracting include more extended collection cycles and
+Added: heightened or unlimited indemnification obligations.
+Added: Any failure to maintain and grow DocGo’s government contract revenues
+Added: for one or more of these or any other reasons could adversely affect DocGo’s business, financial condition and results of
+Added: significant portion of our recent revenue growth is derived from a small number of large customers.
+Added: A significant
+Added: portion of our revenues and income growth in 2021 was derived from a from a limited number of customers.
+Added: For the year ended December 31,
+Added: 2021, one customer accounted for approximately 26% of total sales, while another customer accounted for approximately 24% of sales.
+Added: of these customers is a public benefit corporation and the other is a municipality with separate contracts with several of its agencies
+Added: and departments.
+Added: Services are provided under different contracts with the various independent agencies of the municipality and are not
+Added: guaranteed and are terminable at will by the particular agency.
+Added: However, termination of any one of those particular contracts does not
+Added: necessarily indicate a greater likelihood of termination of any of the municipality’s other contracts, as these contracts are awarded
+Added: on a project basis, with each project running independently of the others.
+Added: We cannot assure you that this customer or other large customers
+Added: will continue to do business with us on terms or at rates currently in effect, or will not elect to do business with our competitors or
+Added: perform their own services themselves.
+Added: The loss of one of our top customers, if not offset by revenues from new or other existing customers,
+Added: would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: labor costs are significant and any inability to control those costs could adversely affect its business.
+Added: costs are DocGo’s largest fixed cost, representing approximately 25.1% and 59.9% of its 2021 and 2020 revenues, respectively.
+Added: competes with other healthcare providers in attracting these professionals, including EMTs, paramedics and nurses, to support its operations.
+Added: In some markets, the lack of availability of clinical personnel has become a significant operating issue facing all healthcare providers.
+Added: This shortage may require DocGo to continue to enhance wages and benefits to recruit and retain qualified personnel or to identify and
+Added: contract with more expensive temporary personnel.
+Added: DocGo also depends on the available labor pool of technology-skilled workers in
+Added: certain of the markets in which it operates.
+Added: DocGo’s labor costs increase, it may not be able to raise rates to offset these increased costs.
+Added: Because a significant percentage
+Added: of DocGo’s revenue consists of fixed, prospective payments, its ability to pass along increased labor costs is limited.
+Added: In particular, if labor costs rise at an annual rate greater than its revenues, DocGo’s results of operations and cash flows
+Added: will likely be adversely affected.
+Added: union activity that may occur within DocGo’s workforce in the future could contribute to increased labor costs.
+Added: proposed changes in federal labor laws and the National Labor Relations Board’s modification of its election procedures
+Added: could increase the likelihood of employee unionization attempts.
+Added: Although none of DocGo’s employees are currently represented
+Added: by a collective bargaining agreement, to the extent a significant portion of its employee base unionizes, it is possible DocGo’s
+Added: labor costs could increase materially.
+Added: DocGo’s failure to recruit and retain qualified healthcare professionals, or to control
+Added: labor costs, could have a material adverse effect on DocGo’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: inability to collect on its customer receivables or unfavorable shifts in payor mix could adversely affect its business.
+Added: general practice in DocGo’s industry is to provide medical services in advance of payment and, in many cases, prior to any
+Added: assessment of the patient’s ability to pay.
+Added: DocGo ultimately bills a number of different payors, including private insurance,
+Added: Medicare and Medicaid, the healthcare provider or facility and self-pay patients.
+Added: These different payors typically have different
+Added: billing, coding, documentation and other compliance requirements that DocGo must satisfy and any procedural deficiencies or incorrect
+Added: or incomplete information could result in delays or partial or complete non-payment for the services DocGo rendered.
+Added: in payor mix, particularly those that increase the percentage of patients covered by lower paying government programs as compared
+Added: to private insurance or that increase the percentage of self-pay patients, can reduce the amount DocGo receives for its services
+Added: and adversely affect DocGo’s ability to collect on its receivables.
+Added: The ability to bill and collect on certain accounts
+Added: may also be limited by statutory, regulatory and investigatory initiatives such as restrictions on charges for out-of-network services
+Added: or by private lawsuits, including those directed at healthcare charges and collection practices for uninsured and underinsured
+Added: Other factors that can adversely affect DocGo’s billing and collection efforts include general economic conditions,
+Added: disputes between payors as to which party is responsible for payment, variation in coverage for similar services among various
+Added: payors and the ability of individual patients to pay.
+Added: In addition, DocGo recently internalized its billing and collection functions,
+Added: services that were historically provided by third parties.
+Added: Any transition of this nature carries significant risks and uncertainties
+Added: and the failure of these departments to operate efficiently and effectively could cause periodic or prolonged disruptions to DocGo’s
+Added: billing and collection efforts or create other unanticipated inefficiencies.
+Added: These and other risks and uncertainties that impact
+Added: DocGo’s ability to timely bill and collect on its receivables or the amount DocGo can charge for its services could adversely
+Added: affect DocGo’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
+Added: may not accurately assess the costs it will incur under new revenue opportunities.
+Added: must accurately assess the costs it will incur in providing services in order to realize adequate profit margins and otherwise
+Added: meet its financial and strategic objectives, particularly with respect to the expansion of its telehealth business.
+Added: pressures from healthcare payors to restrict or reduce reimbursement rates at a time when the costs of providing medical services
+Added: continue to increase make assessing the costs associated with the pricing of new contracts, as well as maintenance of existing
+Added: contracts, and pricing new services that DocGo has not previously offered, more difficult.
+Added: Starting new contracts and service
+Added: offerings may also negatively impact cash flow as DocGo absorbs various expenses before it is able to bill and collect revenue
+Added: associated with the new contracts or services.
+Added: In addition, integrating new contracts, particularly those in new geographic locations,
+Added: could prove more costly, and could require more management time, than DocGo anticipates.
+Added: Any failure to accurately predict costs
+Added: or to negotiate an adequate profit margin could have a material adverse effect on DocGo’s business, financial condition
+Added: and results of operations.
+Added: may enter into a large-scale deployment of resources in response to a national emergency as a subcontractor to FEMA, which may
+Added: adversely affect DocGo’s business.
+Added: does not believe that a FEMA deployment would adversely affect its ability to service its customers.
+Added: DocGo is not contractually
+Added: obligated to respond to FEMA requests.
+Added: However, if management elects to participate, any significant FEMA deployment requires
+Added: significant management attention and could reduce DocGo’s ability to pursue other opportunities and to pursue geographic
+Added: expansion and its growth strategies, which could have an adverse effect on DocGo’s business, financial condition and results
+Added: of operations.
+Added: may face litigation and other risks as a result of Motion’s restatement of its historical financial statements and related
+Added: previously accounted for its outstanding Public Warrants and Private Warrants as components of equity instead of as derivative
+Added: The Warrant Agreement governing the warrants includes a provision that provides for potential changes to the settlement
+Added: amounts dependent upon the characteristics of the holder of the warrant.
+Added: Upon review of the “Staff Statement on Accounting
+Added: and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs)” promulgated by the SEC
+Added: on April 12, 2021 (the “SEC Staff Statement”), Motion’s management further evaluated the Public Warrants
+Added: and Private Warrants under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s
+Added: ASC Section 815-40-15 addresses equity versus liability treatment and classification of equity-linked financial
+Added: instruments, including warrants, and states that a warrant may be classified as a component of equity only if, among other things,
+Added: the warrant is indexed to the issuer’s common stock.
+Added: Based on management’s evaluation, Motion’s audit committee,
+Added: in consultation with management, concluded that the Public Warrants and Private Warrants are not indexed to Motion’s common
+Added: As a result, Motion reclassified the Public Warrants and Private Warrants as derivative liabilities.
+Added: Under this accounting
+Added: treatment, Motion was required to measure the fair value of the Public Warrants and Private Warrants at the end of each reporting
+Added: period and recognize changes in the fair value from the prior period in Motion’s operating results for the current period.
+Added: a result of the foregoing matters, DocGo may become subject to additional risks and uncertainties, including, among others, unanticipated
+Added: costs for accounting and legal fees, the increased possibility of legal proceedings, shareholder lawsuits, governmental agency
+Added: investigations, and inquiries by Nasdaq or other regulatory bodies, which could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported
+Added: financial information and could subject DocGo to civil or criminal penalties, shareholder class actions or derivative actions.
+Added: DocGo could face monetary judgments, penalties or other sanctions that could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial
+Added: condition and results of operations and could cause our stock price to decline.
+Added: If any such actions occur, they will, regardless
+Added: of the outcome, consume a significant amount of management’s time and attention and may result in additional legal, accounting,
+Added: insurance and other costs.
+Added: If DocGo does not prevail in any such proceedings, DocGo could be required to pay damages or settlement
+Added: is an “emerging growth company” and it cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging
+Added: growth companies will make the Common Stock less attractive to investors.
+Added: is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act.
+Added: As an emerging growth company, DocGo is only required
+Added: to provide two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related selected financial data and management
+Added: discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations disclosure.
+Added: In addition, DocGo is not required to obtain
+Added: auditor attestation of its reporting on internal control over financial reporting, has reduced disclosure obligations regarding
+Added: executive compensation and is not required to hold non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation.
+Added: In addition, the
+Added: JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or
+Added: revised accounting standards.
+Added: This allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of these accounting standards until
+Added: they would otherwise apply to private companies.
+Added: DocGo has elected to take advantage of such extended transition period.
+Added: cannot predict whether investors will find Common Stock to be less attractive as a result of its reliance on these exemptions.
+Added: If some investors find the Common Stock to be less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for Common
+Added: Stock and the price of the Common Stock may be more volatile than the historical trading market and price of Motion’s Class A
+Added: Common Stock.
+Added: will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of:
+Added: (i) the end of the fiscal year in which DocGo has total annual
+Added: gross revenue of $1.07 billion;
+Added: (ii) the last day of DocGo’s fiscal year following the fifth anniversary
+Added: of the Initial Public Offering (or December 31, 2025);
+Added: (iii) the date on which DocGo issues more than $1.0 billion
+Added: in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period;
+Added: or (iv) the end of the fiscal year in which the market
+Added: value of the Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of its most recently
+Added: completed second fiscal quarter.
+Added: there is no guarantee that the exemptions available under the JOBS Act will result in significant savings.
+Added: To the extent that
+Added: DocGo chooses not to use exemptions from various reporting requirements under the JOBS Act, it will incur additional compliance
+Added: costs, which may impact DocGo’s financial condition.
+Added: Related to DocGo’s Limited Operating History
+Added: limited operating history may make it difficult to evaluate its business, which may be unsuccessful.
+Added: has a limited operating history since its inception in 2015.
+Added: As such, there is limited information on which to base an evaluation
+Added: of its business and prospects.
+Added: DocGo’s operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a recently
+Added: formed business and its success may be limited by expenses, difficulties, inefficiencies, complications and delays, including
+Added: the need for additional financing, challenges with the successful commercialization of its services and its geographic expansion,
+Added: market and customer acceptance of its services and technologies, unexpected issues with federal or state regulatory authorities,
+Added: competition from larger operations, uncertain intellectual property protection, fluctuations in expenses and dependence on corporate
+Added: partners and collaborators.
+Added: Any failure to successfully address these and other risks and uncertainties commonly associated with
+Added: early stage companies could seriously harm DocGo’s business and prospects, and it may not succeed given the challenges it
+Added: faces in the markets in which it operates or may choose to expand in the future.
+Added: Additionally, the idea of providing healthcare
+Added: transportation services with significant reliance on a mobile platform is novel, the telehealth industry is nascent and still
+Added: evolving and there are no well-established companies offering the “last-mile” telehealth solutions that DocGo
+Added: offers, all of which carry its own unique risks, including market and consumer acceptance and adoption.
+Added: Any evaluation of DocGo’s
+Added: business and its prospects must be considered in light of these factors and the other risks and uncertainties frequently encountered
+Added: by companies in this early stage of development.
+Added: No assurance can be given that DocGo will successfully navigate these issues
+Added: or implement any of its growth strategies in a timely or effective manner, which would negatively impact DocGo’s business,
+Added: financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: of DocGo’s revenue, employee and operations growth has occurred during recent years, which has been partially driven by significant
+Added: COVID-related impacts.
+Added: For example, the Company estimates that COVID testing relating revenue for 2021 was approximately $110 million
+Added: Our ability to forecast our future operating results is limited and subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to predict
+Added: revenue and expense levels, and plan for and model future growth.
+Added: These uncertainties are exacerbated by the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
+Added: has a history of losses, expects its operating expenses to increase significantly in the foreseeable future and may not achieve
+Added: or sustain profitability.
+Added: to 2021, when DocGo recorded $19.2 million in net income, DocGo had experienced a net loss in each year since inception, including a net
+Added: loss of $14.8 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
+Added: As of December 31, 2021, DocGo had an accumulated
+Added: deficit of $63.6 million.
+Added: While DocGo has been able to generate revenues and believes its business strategy provides for predictable
+Added: revenue streams in future periods, the business may not be able to increase revenues in future periods and may resume incurring net losses
+Added: for some time as it continues to grow.
+Added: It is difficult for DocGo to predict its future results of operations, and it expects its operating
+Added: expenses to increase significantly over the next several years as it continues to expand its operations and infrastructure, acquire
+Added: additional vehicles, hire additional personnel, make and integrate future acquisitions and invest in technology and research and development.
+Added: In addition to the costs to grow its business, DocGo also expects to incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses
+Added: as a newly public company.
+Added: If DocGo fails to increase its revenue to offset the increases in its operating expenses, DocGo may not achieve
+Added: or sustain profitability in the future.
+Added: DocGo is unable to effectively manage its growth, its financial performance and future prospects will be adversely affected.
+Added: DocGo’s inception in 2015, it has experienced rapid growth in the United States and more recently, internationally in the United Kingdom,
+Added: and it expects to continue to grow in the future.
+Added: For example, DocGo’s revenues have grown from $30.9 million in the year ended
+Added: December 31, 2017 to $318.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2021, and DocGo’s employee base has grown to more
+Added: than 2,900 in just over four years.
+Added: This growth has placed, and may continue to place, significant strain on DocGo’s management,
+Added: its operational and financial infrastructure and its controls and procedures, which may not be adequate to support this growth or sustain
+Added: further expansion in the future.
+Added: ability to effectively manage its growth has required and will continue to require it to expand and improve its operational and
+Added: financial infrastructure, including its controls and procedures, and to retain, attract, train, motivate and manage employees,
+Added: including qualified medical professionals, operations personnel and financial and accounting staff.
+Added: Additionally, DocGo has needed
+Added: to and will continue to need to integrate new technologies and acquisitions into its existing business and establish consistent
+Added: policies across regions and functions.
+Added: Achieving these goals has required DocGo to commit substantial financial, operational and
+Added: technical resources, and DocGo expects these demands to persist, and very likely may increase, as it continues to grow in the
+Added: expansion and increasing complexity of DocGo’s business has placed significant strain on its operations, personnel and systems
+Added: and further growth in the future could restrict DocGo’s ability to develop and improve its operational, financial and management
+Added: controls and enhance its reporting systems and procedures.
+Added: If DocGo is not able to expand its operations and attract, train and
+Added: retain additional qualified personnel in an efficient manner, DocGo’s operations and services will be adversely affected
+Added: and its customers may choose one or more of its competitors.
+Added: Additionally, DocGo’s failure to maintain or upgrade its technology
+Added: infrastructure effectively to support its growth or otherwise maintain its technological competitive advantage could result in
+Added: unanticipated system disruptions, slow response times, or an unsatisfactory customer experience.
+Added: An inability to maintain effective
+Added: management, financial and reporting systems, controls and procedures could adversely affect DocGo’s ability to provide timely
+Added: and accurate financial information or result in a misstatement of account balances or disclosures.
+Added: If DocGo is unable to effectively
+Added: manage its recent or future growth, its operations may suffer, which would adversely affect DocGo’s business, financial
+Added: condition and results of operations.
+Added: Related to Technology
+Added: business depends on numerous complex information systems and any failure to successfully maintain these systems could adversely
+Added: affect its business.
+Added: depends on complex, integrated information systems and standardized procedures for operational and financial information and its
+Added: billing operations.
+Added: DocGo may not have the necessary resources to enhance existing information systems or implement new systems
+Added: where necessary to handle its volume and changing needs.
+Added: For example, DocGo recently implemented new information systems and processes
+Added: in connection with internalizing its billing and collection functions, services that were historically provided by third parties,
+Added: and any failure of these systems could adversely affect DocGo’s ability to submit and collect claims in a timely manner
+Added: DocGo also uses the development and implementation of sophisticated and specialized technology such as its platform
+Added: to differentiate its services from its competitors and improve DocGo’s profitability.
+Added: may experience unanticipated delays, complications and expenses in implementing, integrating and operating its systems.
+Added: disruption can adversely affect DocGo’s ability to properly allocate resources and process billing information in a timely
+Added: manner, which could result in customer dissatisfaction and delayed cash flow.
+Added: While DocGo has disaster recovery systems and business
+Added: continuity plans in place, any disruptions in its disaster recovery systems or the failure of these systems to operate as expected
+Added: could, depending on the magnitude of the problem, limit DocGo’s capacity to effectively monitor and control its operations.
+Added: The failure to successfully implement and maintain operational, financial and billing information systems could have an adverse
+Added: effect on DocGo’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: dependence on the performance of its innovative platform and reliability of the Internet and similar infrastructures could adversely
+Added: affect its business.
+Added: technology platform is one of its primary competitive advantages and its business depends in significant part on the performance
+Added: and reliability of the Internet and other mobile infrastructures and communication systems to ensure access to and the functionality
+Added: of its platform.
+Added: Disruptions in Internet infrastructure or GPS signals or the failure of telecommunications network operators
+Added: to provide DocGo with the bandwidth it needs to operate its platform and provide its services, whether as a result of power outage,
+Added: telecommunications delay or failure, security breach or otherwise, could result in delays or interruptions and interfere with
+Added: the speed and availability of DocGo’s platform.
+Added: DocGo may also operate in jurisdictions that provide limited Internet connectivity,
+Added: particularly as it expands into more rural areas and internationally.
+Added: Internet access and access to a mobile device are frequently
+Added: provided by companies with significant market power that could take actions that degrade, disrupt or increase the cost to access
+Added: DocGo’s platform.
+Added: In addition, DocGo has no control over the costs of the services provided by national telecommunications
+Added: operators and if mobile Internet access fees or other charges to Internet users increase, consumer traffic may decrease.
+Added: failure in or disruptions to Internet or mobile device accessibility, even for a short period of time, could adversely affect
+Added: DocGo’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: platform is highly technical and its failure to operate effectively could adversely affect DocGo’s business.
+Added: business and its competitive advantage are dependent upon its ability to maintain operation and functionality of its platform, which is
+Added: a complex system composed of many interoperating components and incorporates both proprietary and open-source software.
+Added: The software and
+Added: other components used in the platform may now or in the future contain undetected errors, bugs, vulnerabilities or limitations, some of
+Added: which may only be discovered after the code has been released.
+Added: These types of errors, misconfigurations of its systems, and unintended
+Added: interactions between systems or other limitations could result in platform downtime impacting the availability of DocGo’s services.
+Added: In addition, updates or expansions to DocGo’s platform of the software it relies upon may inadvertently cause interruptions in the
+Added: availability or functionality of the technology.
+Added: DocGo also relies on co-located data centers for the operation of its platform and,
+Added: if one or more of these data centers fail, DocGo’s platform may not operate effectively or at all.
+Added: If sustained for more than a
+Added: brief period of time or repeated, these outages or other failures could, among other things, reduce the utility or attractiveness of DocGo’s
+Added: platform to users, expose DocGo to liability if a patient’s health is adversely affected, result in negative publicity or damage
+Added: DocGo’s reputation, cause DocGo to fail to comply with certain federal, state or foreign reporting obligations, and have a material
+Added: adverse effect on DocGo’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: relies on third-party mobile operating systems and application marketplaces to make its platform available and any failure to
+Added: effectively operate across these operating systems and within these marketplaces could adversely affect DocGo’s business.
+Added: of the most important features of DocGo’s platform is its broad interoperability with and availability on a range of devices,
+Added: operating systems and third-party applications, including iOS and Android and their respective application marketplaces.
+Added: DocGo does not have any control over these third-party operating systems and technologies or their respective marketplaces
+Added: and there can be no assurances that these third parties will maintain their current structures.
+Added: DocGo may also not be successful
+Added: in developing or maintaining relationships with key participants in the mobile industry and there is no certainty that one or
+Added: more will not change the fees to list DocGo’s platform for download.
+Added: Further, as new mobile devices and mobile platforms
+Added: are released, there is no guarantee that all mobile devices will continue to support DocGo’s platform or effectively roll
+Added: out any updates.
+Added: Any changes in these technologies, operating systems or marketplaces or the emergence of new alternatives that
+Added: degrade the functionality of DocGo’s platform, increase the cost of using DocGo’s platform or make DocGo’s platform
+Added: more difficult to access or otherwise unavailable could have a material adverse effect on DocGo’s business, financial condition
+Added: and results of operations.
+Added: reliance on third-party service providers could adversely affect its business.
+Added: success depends in part on its integrations and relationships with third-party service providers, particularly third-party providers
+Added: of technology related services.
+Added: DocGo also uses a combination of third-party cloud computing services and co-located data
+Added: centers in the United States and in the United Kingdom, including those of Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure,
+Added: over which DocGo has no control.
+Added: These third-party operations, services and co-located data centers may experience disruptions,
+Added: including break-ins, computer viruses, denial-of-service attacks and other misconduct and may be vulnerable to damage or
+Added: interruption from power loss, telecommunications failures, fires, floods, earthquakes and similar events.
+Added: DocGo’s systems
+Added: do not provide complete redundancy of data storage or processing, and as a result, the occurrence of these or other similar events,
+Added: a decision by the third-party service providers to cease providing a service or close a co-located data center without
+Added: adequate notice, or other unanticipated problems may result in DocGo’s inability to service data reliably or require it
+Added: to find an alternative or migrate its data to a new on-premises data center or cloud computing service.
+Added: Additionally, the
+Added: contracts pursuant to which the service is provided, including the co-located data center facility agreements, can be of
+Added: limited durations, and the third party generally has no obligation to renew their agreements with DocGo, whether on commercially
+Added: reasonable terms or at all.
+Added: These agreements can often be terminated on short notice.
+Added: DocGo may not be able to easily switch to
+Added: another service or cloud or data center provider in the event of any disruptions or interference to the services it uses, and
+Added: even if it does, other providers are subject to the same risks and may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at
+Added: Any need to change a service provider or find a new cloud or data center could be time consuming and costly and may result
+Added: in the loss of data and significantly interrupt the functionality of DocGo’s platform and its ability to provide its services.
+Added: Further, any negative publicity related to any of DocGo’s third-party partners, including any publicity related to
+Added: quality standards or safety concerns, could similarly affect DocGo’s reputation and brand, and could potentially lead to
+Added: increased regulatory or litigation exposure.
+Added: Any of the foregoing risks related to DocGo’s reliance on third-party services
+Added: providers could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: reliance on third-party software, including open-source software, could adversely affect its business.
+Added: success depends in part on its integrations and relationships with third-party software providers and expects that DocGo
+Added: will continue to do so in the future in connection with the development and expansion of DocGo’s offerings and technologies.
+Added: For example, DocGo’s use of Google Waze for the mapping and traffic function is critical to the functionality of its ShareLink
+Added: DocGo does not believe that an alternative mapping solution exists that can provide the scale and functionality that
+Added: DocGo requires to offer these features in all of the markets in which it operates or may expand.
+Added: DocGo also relies on third-party encryption
+Added: and authentication technologies licensed from third parties that are designed to securely transmit electronic medical records
+Added: and other personal patient information.
+Added: DocGo uses third-party software internally as well, including for communication purposes.
+Added: If these third parties cease to provide access to the software that DocGo uses, if it is not available on terms that DocGo believes
+Added: to be reasonable, or it is not available in the most current version, DocGo may be required to seek comparable software from other
+Added: sources, which may be more expensive or inferior, or may not be available at all.
+Added: Some of DocGo’s technology partners may
+Added: also take actions which disrupt the utility of the software to DocGo or the interoperability of DocGo’s platform with their
+Added: own products or services, or exert strong business influence on DocGo’s ability to and the terms on which it operates and
+Added: distributes its platform.
+Added: Additionally, third-party services and products are constantly evolving, and DocGo may not be able
+Added: to modify its operations or platform to assure its compatibility with that of other third parties following development changes.
+Added: DocGo’s third-party licenses are typically non-exclusive and its competitors may obtain the right to use any of
+Added: the technology covered by these licenses to compete directly with it.
+Added: If any of DocGo’s technology partners limits access
+Added: or modifies their products, standards or terms of use in a manner that degrades the functionality or performance of DocGo’s
+Added: platform, that is otherwise unsatisfactory or adverse to DocGo, or that gives preferential treatment to competitive products or
+Added: services, DocGo’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
+Added: also uses third-party open-source software in connection with its business and the development and operation of its platform, which
+Added: carries its own unique risks.
+Added: From time to time, companies that use third-party open-source software have faced claims of ownership
+Added: or challenging the use of such open-source software and their compliance with the terms of the applicable open source license.
+Added: source licenses require end users who distribute or make available across a network software and services that include open source software
+Added: to make available all or part of such software, which in some circumstances could include valuable proprietary code, meaning DocGo’s
+Added: ability to protect its intellectual property rights in such software source code may be limited or lost entirely and DocGo would not
+Added: be able to prevent competitors or others from using the code and developing competing technologies.
+Added: While DocGo employs practices designed
+Added: to monitor its compliance with third-party open-source software licenses and to protect its valuable proprietary source code, DocGo
+Added: has not run a complete open-source license review and may inadvertently use third-party open source software in a manner that exposes
+Added: it to claims of non-compliance with the applicable license terms, including claims for infringement of intellectual property rights
+Added: or for breach of contract.
+Added: Furthermore, there is an increasing number of different types of open-source software licenses, most
+Added: of which have not been tested in a court of law, resulting in a significant absence of guidance regarding the proper legal interpretation
+Added: of these licenses.
+Added: If DocGo was to receive a claim of non-compliance with the terms of any of its open-source licenses, it may be
+Added: required to publicly release some or all of its proprietary source code or expend substantial time and resources to re-engineer some
+Added: or all of its software.
+Added: Use of open-source software may also present additional security risks because the public availability of such
+Added: software may make it easier for hackers and other third parties to determine how to compromise DocGo’s platform.
+Added: Any of the foregoing
+Added: or other risks related to the use of open-source software could have an adverse effect on DocGo’s business, financial condition
+Added: and results of operations.
+Added: breaches, loss of data and other disruptions could compromise sensitive business, customer or patient information or prevent DocGo
+Added: from accessing critical information and expose it to liability, which could adversely affect DocGo’s business.
+Added: is highly dependent on information technology networks and systems, including on-site systems, managed data center systems
+Added: and cloud-based computing center system, to securely process, transmit and store sensitive data and information, such as
+Added: protected health information (“PHI”) and other types of personal data or personally identifiable information (“PII”)
+Added: relating to its employees, customers, patients and other confidential or proprietary business information.
+Added: Computer malware, viruses,
+Added: spamming, and phishing attacks have become more prevalent, have occurred on DocGo’s systems in the past, and may occur on
+Added: DocGo’s systems in the future.
+Added: Various other factors may also cause system failures, including power outages, catastrophic
+Added: events, inadequate or ineffective redundancy, issues with upgrading or creating new systems or platforms, flaws in third-party software
+Added: or services, errors or intentional acts by DocGo’s employees or third-party service providers, or breaches in the security
+Added: of these systems or platforms.
+Added: These and other issues can create system disruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized access to or disclosure
+Added: or modifications of such sensitive data or information, including PHI or PII.
+Added: DocGo also utilizes third-party service
+Added: providers for important aspects of the collection, storage, processing and transmission of this sensitive information and therefore
+Added: is dependent on these third parties to similarly manage cybersecurity risks.
+Added: of the sensitivity of the PHI, other PII and other sensitive information DocGo and its service providers collect, store, transmit,
+Added: and otherwise process, the security of DocGo’s technology platform and other aspects of its services, including those provided
+Added: or facilitated by DocGo’s third-party service providers, are important to DocGo’s operations and business strategy.
+Added: DocGo takes certain administrative, physical and technological safeguards to address these risks, such as by requiring contractors
+Added: and other third-party service providers who handle this PHI, other PII and other sensitive information to enter into agreements
+Added: that contractually obligate them to use reasonable efforts to safeguard such PHI, other PII, and other sensitive information.
+Added: DocGo is also in the process of upgrading its systems to be ISO 27001 and Service Organization Controls (SOC) 2 compliant.
+Added: taken to protect DocGo’s systems, those of its contractors or third-party service providers, or the PHI, other PII,
+Added: or other sensitive information DocGo or contractors or third-party service providers process or maintain, may not adequately
+Added: protect DocGo from the risks associated with the collection, storage, processing and transmission of such sensitive data and information.
+Added: Additionally, updates or upgrades to systems, including those currently underway with respect to ISO 27001 and SOC 2 compliance,
+Added: are time-consuming and effective, may not operate as designed and could create new inefficiencies or vulnerabilities.
+Added: may also be required to expend significant capital and other resources to address problems caused by security breaches.
+Added: DocGo’s implementation of security measures, cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated and frequent.
+Added: As a result, DocGo
+Added: or its third-party service providers may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate protective measures.
+Added: If DocGo is unable to earn and maintain necessary certifications, including ISO 27001 and SOC 2 compliance, it could result in
+Added: reputational harm, customer churn and adversely affect DocGo’s ability to provide its services.
+Added: security breach or privacy violation that leads to disclosure or unauthorized use or modification of, or that prevents access
+Added: to or otherwise impacts the confidentiality, security, or integrity of, patient information, including PHI or other PII, or other
+Added: sensitive information DocGo or its contractors or third-party service providers maintain or otherwise process, could harm
+Added: DocGo’s reputation, compel it to comply with breach notification laws, cause it to incur significant costs for remediation,
+Added: fines, penalties, notification to individuals and for measures intended to repair or replace systems or technology and to prevent
+Added: future occurrences, potential increases in insurance premiums, and require DocGo to verify the accuracy of database contents,
+Added: resulting in increased costs or loss of revenue.
+Added: If DocGo is unable to prevent or mitigate such security breaches or privacy violations
+Added: or implement satisfactory remedial measures, or if it is perceived that DocGo has been unable to do so, its operations or the
+Added: functionality of its innovative technology could be disrupted, it may be unable to provide access to its systems, and it could
+Added: suffer a loss of customers, and it may as a result suffer loss of reputation, adverse impacts on customer, consumer and investor
+Added: confidence, financial loss, governmental investigations or other actions, regulatory or contractual penalties, and other claims
+Added: and liability.
+Added: In addition, security breaches and other inappropriate access to, or acquisition or processing of, information
+Added: can be difficult to detect, and any delay in identifying such incidents or in providing any notification of such incidents may
+Added: lead to increased harm.
+Added: such breach or interruption of DocGo’s systems or those of any of its third-party service providers could compromise
+Added: DocGo’s networks or data security processes and sensitive information could be made inaccessible or could be accessed by
+Added: unauthorized parties, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen.
+Added: Any such interruption in access, improper access, disclosure or other
+Added: loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws and regulations that protect the privacy
+Added: of member information or other personal information, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996,
+Added: as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 (“HITECH”),
+Added: and their implementing regulations and related rules (collectively, “HIPAA”), and regulatory penalties.
+Added: See the section
+Added: of this Annual Report on Form 10-K statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus titled “ Description of DocGo’s
+Added: Business — Regulatory Matters .” Unauthorized access, loss or dissemination could also disrupt DocGo’s
+Added: operations, including its ability to perform its services, access customer and patient health information, collect, process, and
+Added: prepare company financial information, and provide information about DocGo’s current and future services.
+Added: Any such breach
+Added: could also result in the compromise of DocGo’s trade secrets and other proprietary information, which could adversely affect
+Added: DocGo’s business and competitive position.
+Added: While DocGo maintains insurance covering certain security and privacy damages
+Added: and claim expenses, it may not carry insurance or maintain coverage sufficient to compensate for all liability and in any event,
+Added: insurance coverage would not address the reputational damage that could result from a security incident.
+Added: of the date of this filing, DocGo has not been impacted by any security breaches to its technology platform, including its on-site systems,
+Added: managed data center systems and cloud-based computing center system.
+Added: Risks Related to DocGo’s Business
+Added: depends on its key management personnel.
+Added: success depends to a significant degree upon the contributions of certain key management personnel including, but not limited to, its
+Added: founder Stan Vashovsky and the other officers listed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
+Added: If any of DocGo’s key management personnel
+Added: were to cease employment with it, DocGo’s operating results could suffer.
+Added: DocGo’s ability to retain its key management personnel
+Added: or to attract suitable replacements should any member(s) of its management team leave is dependent on the culture the leadership
+Added: team fosters and on the competitive nature of the employment market, particularly in a heavily regulated industry like that of DocGo.
+Added: DocGo does not have key management life insurance that would provide it with proceeds in the event of death or disability of any of its
+Added: key management personnel.
+Added: The loss of services from key management personnel or any inability to find a suitable replacement should there
+Added: be turnover at those positions could materially and adversely affect DocGo’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: inability to successfully recruit, train and retain qualified healthcare professionals could adversely affect its business.
+Added: pool of qualified healthcare professionals, including EMTs, paramedics, LPNs and nurses, available to staff DocGo’s broad
+Added: spectrum of contracts and customer needs is limited and DocGo invests significant resources to attract, train and retain these
+Added: professionals.
+Added: There is a relatively high rate of turnover in healthcare professional positions and, with DocGo’s expansion,
+Added: its requirements in these positions have increased significantly.
+Added: A significant number of employees have joined DocGo in recent years
+Added: as it has grown and DocGo’s success is dependent on its ability to maintain and instill its culture, align its talent with
+Added: its business needs, engage its employees and inspire them to be open to change, to innovate and to maintain a customer-driven focus
+Added: when delivering its services.
+Added: As such, DocGo’s ability to recruit, train and retain a sufficient number of qualified healthcare
+Added: professionals has a direct impact on its operations.
+Added: has, from time to time, experienced, and it expects to continue to experience, difficulty in hiring and retaining healthcare professionals
+Added: with appropriate qualifications, a difficulty that is amplified by the scope of the geographic and demographic diversity of the
+Added: markets in which DocGo operates or may expand into in the future.
+Added: Moreover, DocGo’s customers, including the healthcare
+Added: providers with which it partners, have increasingly demanded a greater degree of specialized skills, training and experience in
+Added: the healthcare professionals providing services under their contracts, which also decreases the number of healthcare professionals
+Added: who may be qualified to staff certain of DocGo’s contracts.
+Added: DocGo competes with other companies to recruit and retain these
+Added: qualified healthcare professionals, including DocGo’s direct competitors, government and private emergency and first responders
+Added: as well as healthcare providers, including DocGo’s partners and customers.
+Added: Competition to fill these positions can be even
+Added: greater in certain geographic regions, including more rural or economically depressed areas.
+Added: In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic
+Added: has significantly increased the demand for healthcare professionals in all regards, which makes it more difficult for DocGo to
+Added: attract and retain the necessary qualified professionals.
+Added: If DocGo is unable to attract, train and retain highly qualified healthcare
+Added: professions, or if turnover rates are higher than it anticipates, it could have an adverse effect on DocGo’s business, financial
+Added: condition and results of operations.
+Added: failure to protect or enforce its intellectual property rights could adversely affect its business.
+Added: success is dependent in part upon protecting its intellectual property rights and technology, including code, information, data,
+Added: processes and other forms of information, know-how and technology.
+Added: DocGo relies on a combination of patents, copyrights,
+Added: trademarks, service marks, trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to establish and protect its intellectual property.
+Added: DocGo also enters into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with its employees and consultants and enters into
+Added: confidentiality agreements with certain of its third-party providers and strategic partners.
+Added: However, these and other steps
+Added: DocGo takes to protect its intellectual property may not be sufficient or effective.
+Added: intellectual property protections do not prevent competitors or others from independently developing technologies that are substantially
+Added: equivalent or superior to DocGo’s offerings.
+Added: Further, it may still be possible for competitors and other unauthorized third
+Added: parties to copy DocGo’s technology and use its proprietary information to create or enhance competing platforms, solutions
+Added: and services.
+Added: DocGo also enters into strategic relationships, joint development and other similar agreements with third parties
+Added: where intellectual property arising from such relationships may be jointly owned or may be transferred or licensed to the counterparty.
+Added: These arrangements may limit DocGo’s ability to protect, maintain, enforce or commercialize such intellectual property rights,
+Added: including requiring agreement with or payment to the joint development partners before protecting, maintaining, licensing or initiating
+Added: enforcement of such intellectual property rights, and may allow such joint development partners to register, maintain, enforce
+Added: or license such intellectual property rights in a manner that may affect the value of the jointly owned intellectual property
+Added: or DocGo’s ability to compete in the market.
+Added: As DocGo expands its international activities, its exposure to unauthorized
+Added: use, copying, transfer and disclosure of proprietary information will likely increase as the laws of some countries do not provide
+Added: the same level of intellectual property protection as do the laws of the United States and effective intellectual property
+Added: protections may not be available or may be limited and harder to enforce in some jurisdictions.
+Added: may be required to spend significant resources in order to monitor and protect its intellectual property rights, and some violations
+Added: may be difficult or impossible to detect.
+Added: And, even if DocGo does detect violations of its intellectual property rights, it may
+Added: need to engage in litigation or other actions to enforce its rights.
+Added: Any enforcement efforts, and litigation in particular, could
+Added: be costly, time-consuming and distracting to management and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of DocGo’s
+Added: intellectual property.
+Added: DocGo’s efforts to enforce its intellectual property rights may also be met with defenses, counterclaims
+Added: and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of its intellectual property rights.
+Added: DocGo’s inability to protect
+Added: its proprietary technology against unauthorized copying or use, as well as any costly litigation or extensive enforcement activities,
+Added: could impair the functionality of DocGo’s platform, delay introductions of enhancements to the platform, result in DocGo’s
+Added: substituting inferior or more costly technologies into its platform, harm DocGo’s reputation or brand and otherwise have
+Added: a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: by others that DocGo infringed their proprietary technology or other intellectual property rights could adversely affect DocGo’s
+Added: time to time third parties may assert claims of infringement of intellectual property rights against DocGo.
+Added: In addition, third
+Added: parties have sent DocGo correspondence regarding various allegations of intellectual property infringement.
+Added: DocGo incorporates
+Added: technology from third parties into its platform and, as such, cannot be certain that these licensors are not infringing the intellectual
+Added: property rights of others or that the suppliers and licensors have sufficient rights to the technology in all jurisdictions in
+Added: which DocGo may operate.
+Added: As DocGo gains an increasingly higher public profile, DocGo expects the possibility of these and other
+Added: types of intellectual property rights claims against it will grow.
+Added: Although DocGo believes that it has meritorious defenses, there
+Added: can be no assurance that DocGo will be successful in defending against these and future allegations or in reaching a business
+Added: resolution that is acceptable to DocGo.
+Added: potential litigants, including some of DocGo’s competitors and patent-holding companies, have the ability to dedicate
+Added: substantial resources to assert their intellectual property rights.
+Added: Any claim of infringement by a third party, even those without
+Added: merit, could be costly, time-consuming and a significant distraction to management.
+Added: Furthermore, because of the substantial
+Added: amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, DocGo could risk compromising its confidential
+Added: information during this type of litigation.
+Added: With respect to any intellectual property rights claim, DocGo may have to negotiate
+Added: a license to continue operations found to be in violation of such rights, and these licenses may not be available on favorable
+Added: or commercially reasonable terms or at all.
+Added: DocGo may be required to pay substantial damages, royalties or other fees in connection
+Added: with a claimant securing a judgment against it, DocGo may be subject to an injunction or other restrictions that prevent it from
+Added: using the relevant intellectual property, or DocGo may determine it is prudent to agree to a settlement that restricts DocGo’s
+Added: operations or its use of certain intellectual property, any of which could adversely affect DocGo’s business, financial
+Added: condition and results of operations.
+Added: DocGo is unable to successfully develop new offerings and technologies or adapt to rapidly changing technology and industry standards
+Added: or changes to regulatory requirements, DocGo’s business could be adversely affected.
+Added: including the mobile technologies DocGo utilizes on its innovative platform, is characterized by rapid change, evolving industry
+Added: standards and changing regulatory requirements.
+Added: This constant evolution may reduce the utility or effectiveness of DocGo’s
+Added: technology or render its business model or platform noncompetitive or obsolete.
+Added: DocGo’s continued success and growth depend
+Added: in part upon its ability to anticipate these challenges and to innovate by enhancing its platform and other technologies and developing
+Added: and successfully implementing updates and new features to keep pace with these ever-changing and increasingly sophisticated
+Added: technology introductions and platform updates can be complex and expensive as they require significant planning, design, development
+Added: DocGo may find it difficult or costly to update its platform and its service offerings and to develop new services
+Added: quickly enough to work effectively with new or changed technologies, to keep the pace with evolving industry standards or to meet
+Added: customers’ needs.
+Added: In addition, DocGo’s industry may be slow to accept DocGo’s use of technology because of,
+Added: among other things, general unfamiliarity of healthcare providers with new technologies and the wide disparity of technology used
+Added: in the industry, including with respect to electronic medical records.
+Added: As a result, any new technologies or platform updates that
+Added: DocGo may develop may not be successful for a number of years, if at all.
+Added: If DocGo is unable to successfully develop new
+Added: services or enhance or update its platform and existing services to meet these challenges, its business, financial condition and
+Added: results of operations may be adversely affected.
+Added: marketing efforts to help grow its business, including its recent rebrand, may not be effective.
+Added: awareness of DocGo’s brand, innovative technology and services is important to its ability to grow its business and to attract
+Added: and retain customers, and these efforts can be costly.
+Added: DocGo believes that much of the growth in its business is in part attributable
+Added: to its marketing initiatives.
+Added: DocGo’s marketing initiatives may become increasingly expensive and generating a meaningful
+Added: return on those initiatives may be difficult.
+Added: Even if DocGo successfully increases revenue as a result of its paid marketing efforts,
+Added: it may not offset the additional marketing expenses it incurs.
+Added: Any factor that diminishes DocGo’s reputation or that of
+Added: its brands, including adverse publicity or failing to meet the expectations of customers, could make it substantially more difficult
+Added: for DocGo to attract new customers.
+Added: If these marketing efforts are not successful, DocGo’s business, financial condition
+Added: and results of operations could be adversely affected.
+Added: Additionally,
+Added: in January 2021, the company rolled-out a new corporate name — DocGo — while continuing to use
+Added: the Ambulnz brand for its healthcare transportation services.
+Added: This process carries additional risk and requires time and expense.
+Added: may lose customers if they do not respond favorably to the new brand or fail to recognize the new brand as a continuation of the same
+Added: business and platform.
+Added: DocGo may also lose potential new customers who may have been familiar with the company, but are not yet aware
+Added: The change may also impede the company’s ability to attract new qualified personnel if candidates do not recognize the
+Added: The rebranding will also increase costs.
+Added: Any unforeseen costs, lack of success or loss of current or potential new customers
+Added: related to the corporate name change could adversely affect DocGo’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: could be subject to lawsuits for which it does not have sufficient reserves.
+Added: providers and other participants in the healthcare industry have become subject to an increasing number of lawsuits alleging medical
+Added: malpractice and related legal theories such as negligent hiring, supervision and credentialing.
+Added: Similarly, healthcare transportation
+Added: services can result in lawsuits related to vehicle collisions and personal injuries, patient care incidents or mistreatment and
+Added: employee job-related injuries.
+Added: Moreover, in the normal course of DocGo’s business, it is involved in lawsuits, claims,
+Added: audits and investigations, including those arising out of its billing practices, employment disputes, contractual claims and other
+Added: business disputes for which DocGo may have no insurance coverage, and which are not subject to actuarial estimates.
+Added: Some of these
+Added: lawsuits may involve large claim amounts and substantial defense costs.
+Added: outcomes with respect to litigation or any of these legal proceedings may result in significant settlement costs or judgments,
+Added: penalties and fines, which may or may not be covered by DocGo’s existing insurance, or require DocGo to modify its services
+Added: or require it to stop serving certain customers or geographies, all of which could negatively impact its existing business and
+Added: its ability to grow.
+Added: DocGo may also become subject to periodic audits, which would likely increase its regulatory compliance costs
+Added: and may require it to change its business practices or the scope of its operations.
+Added: Managing legal proceedings, litigation and
+Added: audits, even if DocGo achieves favorable outcomes, is time-consuming and diverts management’s attention from DocGo’s day-to-day business.
+Added: The outcome of these matters or future claims and disputes are difficult to predict and determining reserves for pending litigation
+Added: and other legal, regulatory and audit matters requires significant judgment.
+Added: There can be no assurance that DocGo’s expectations
+Added: will prove correct, and even if these matters are resolved in its favor or without significant cash settlements, these matters,
+Added: and the time and resources necessary to litigate or resolve them, could have a material effect on DocGo’s results of operations
+Added: in the period when it identifies the matter, and could have a material adverse effect on DocGo’s business, financial condition
+Added: and results of operations.
+Added: DocGo is subject
+Added: to a variety of federal, state and local laws and regulatory regimes, including a variety of labor laws and regulations, and changes to
+Added: or the failure to comply with these laws and regulations could adversely affect DocGo’s business.
+Added: is subject to various federal, state, and local laws and regulations including the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
+Added: (“ERISA”) and regulations promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), the U.S.
+Added: of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
+Added: DocGo is also subject to a variety of federal and state employment
+Added: and labor laws and regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act, the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, the Worker
+Added: Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, and other regulations related to working conditions, wage-hour pay, overtime
+Added: pay, family leave, employee benefits, antidiscrimination, termination of employment, safety standards and other workplace regulations.
+Added: Compliance with these and other applicable laws and regulations can be time-consuming and costly.
+Added: Failure to properly adhere
+Added: to these and other applicable laws and regulations could result in investigations, the imposition of penalties or adverse legal
+Added: judgments by public or private plaintiffs.
+Added: Changes to these laws and regulations can also increase costs and require DocGo to
+Added: commit additional resources to compliance.
+Added: For example, raising the federal minimum wage or the minimum wage within a state where
+Added: DocGo has significant operations, which has been and continues to be a subject of ongoing discussions in Washington, D.C.
+Added: state capitals, could significantly increase DocGo’s selling, general and administrative expenses.
+Added: to or any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on DocGo’s business,
+Added: financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: See also “ — Risks Related to Healthcare Regulation.
+Added: insurance coverage, including the reserves DocGo establishes with respect to its insurable losses, could adversely affect its
+Added: connection with DocGo’s insurance programs, management establishes reserves for losses and related expenses within its self-insured retention
+Added: limits, which represent estimates involving actuarial and statistical projections, at a given point in time, of DocGo’s
+Added: expectations of the ultimate resolution and administration costs of losses it has incurred in respect of its liability risks.
+Added: Insurance reserves inherently are subject to uncertainty.
+Added: DocGo’s reserves are based on historical claims, demographic factors,
+Added: industry trends, severity and exposure factors and other actuarial assumptions.
+Added: The actuarial projections include studies of projected
+Added: ultimate losses on an annual basis and provide quarterly updates to those projections.
+Added: DocGo uses these actuarial estimates to
+Added: determine appropriate reserves.
+Added: DocGo’s reserves could be significantly affected if current and future occurrences differ
+Added: from historical claim trends and expectations.
+Added: While DocGo monitors claims closely when it estimates reserves, the complexity
+Added: of the claims and the wide range of potential outcomes may hamper timely adjustments to the assumptions DocGo uses in these estimates.
+Added: Actual losses and related expenses may deviate, individually and in the aggregate, from the reserve estimates reflected in DocGo’s
+Added: consolidated financial statements.
+Added: If DocGo determines that its estimated reserves are inadequate, it will be required to increase
+Added: reserves at the time of the determination, which would reduce DocGo’s earnings in the period in which the deficiency is
+Added: determined and could have a material adverse effect on DocGo’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: of DocGo’s insurance coverage is through various third-party insurers.
+Added: To the extent DocGo holds policies to cover
+Added: certain groups of claims or relies on insurance coverage obtained by third parties to cover such claims, DocGo may still be responsible
+Added: This could occur for a variety of reasons, including if DocGo or such third parties did not obtain sufficient insurance
+Added: limits, did not buy an extended reporting period policy, where applicable, or the issuing insurance company is unable or unwilling
+Added: to pay such claims.
+Added: Furthermore, for DocGo’s losses that are insured or reinsured through commercial insurance companies,
+Added: it is subject to the “credit risk” of those insurance companies.
+Added: In addition, professional liability insurance is
+Added: expensive and insurance premiums may increase significantly in the future, particularly as DocGo expands the geographies in which
+Added: it does business.
+Added: As a result, adequate professional liability insurance may not be available to it in the future at acceptable
+Added: costs or at all.
+Added: While DocGo believes its commercial insurance company providers are creditworthy, there can be no assurance that
+Added: such insurance companies will remain so in the future, and any failure of DocGo’s insurance coverage to adequately cover
+Added: any losses could have a material adverse effect on DocGo’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: is required to make capital expenditures in order to remain compliant and competitive.
+Added: capital expenditure requirements primarily relate to maintaining, growing and upgrading its vehicle fleet and medical equipment
+Added: to serve its customers and remain competitive.
+Added: The aging of DocGo’s vehicle fleet requires it to make regular capital expenditures,
+Added: including to lease newer replacement vehicles, to maintain its current level of service.
+Added: DocGo’s net capital expenditures
+Added: totaled $4.7 million and $4.1 million in the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, representing
+Added: acquisitions of property and equipment, less the proceeds from disposals of property and equipment.
+Added: In addition, changing competitive
+Added: conditions or the emergence of any significant advances in medical technology could require DocGo to invest significant capital
+Added: in additional equipment or capacity in order to remain competitive.
+Added: DocGo is also required to commit sufficient capital to acquiring
+Added: the necessary infrastructure when it expands into new geographies.
+Added: If DocGo is unable to fund any such investment or otherwise
+Added: fail to invest in new vehicles, medical equipment or other infrastructure, its business, financial condition or results of operations
+Added: could be materially and adversely affected.
+Added: international operations subject it to additional risks that could adversely affect its business.
+Added: currently provides healthcare transportation services in the United Kingdom and intends to further expand its operations
+Added: and services internationally, which subjects DocGo to regulatory, economic, political and other events and uncertainties in these
+Added: foreign jurisdictions.
+Added: In addition to the risks discussed elsewhere herein that are common to DocGo’s operations more generally,
+Added: DocGo faces additional risks specific to its international operations, including but not limited to:
+Added: social, economic and financial instability, including wars, civil unrest, acts of terrorism and other conflicts;
+Added: ● difficulties
+Added: and increased costs in developing, staffing and simultaneously managing a large number of varying foreign operations as a result of distance,
+Added: language and cultural differences;
+Added: ● restrictions
+Added: and limitations on the transfer or repatriation of funds and fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
+Added: with varying legal and regulatory environments in multiple foreign jurisdictions, including privacy laws such as the E.U.
+Added: Data Protection Regulation;
+Added: and business practices that favor local competitors or prohibit foreign ownership of certain businesses;
+Added: for privatization and other confiscatory actions;
+Added: dynamics in international jurisdictions, any of which could result in substantial additional legal or compliance costs, liabilities or
+Added: obligations for DocGo or could require it to significantly modify its current business practices or even exit a given market.
+Added: operations bring increased complexity and the costs of managing or overseeing foreign operations, including adapting and localizing
+Added: services or systems to specific regions and countries, can be material.
+Added: Further, international operations carry inherent uncertainties
+Added: regarding the effect of local or domestic actions, such as the unpredictable impact of the United Kingdom’s exit from
+Added: the European Union (Brexit) and the uncertainty regarding how the agreements reached will operate, any of which could be material.
+Added: International operations also carry financial risks such as those related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and
+Added: disparate tax laws.
+Added: These and other risks related to DocGo’s existing or future foreign operations, or the associated costs
+Added: or liabilities, could have a material adverse effect on DocGo’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: business could be materially and adversely affected by natural disasters, other catastrophic events, acts of war or terrorism,
+Added: cybersecurity incidents, and/or other acts by third parties.
+Added: and its customers depend on the ability of its business to run smoothly, including the ability of its fleet of ambulances, which
+Added: are often needed in times of emergency, to transport patients.
+Added: Any material disruption caused by natural disasters, including,
+Added: fires, floods, hurricanes, volcanoes, and earthquakes;
+Added: power loss or shortages;
+Added: environmental disasters;
+Added: telecommunications or
+Added: business information systems failures;
+Added: acts of war or terrorism;
+Added: viral outbreaks and other similar epidemics;
+Added: cybersecurity incidents;
+Added: and other actions by third parties and other similar disruptions could cause DocGo to lose critical data and services and otherwise
+Added: adversely affect DocGo’s ability to conduct business.
+Added: Even with disaster recovery arrangements, DocGo’s services could
+Added: be interrupted and DocGo’s insurance coverage may not compensate it for losses that may occur in the wake of such events.
+Added: If any disruption results in the destruction of some or all of DocGo’s fleet, significant disruption to DocGo’s business,
+Added: contributes to a general decrease in local, regional or global economic activity or otherwise impairs DocGo’s ability to
+Added: meet customer demands, or if DocGo is not able to develop or execute on an adequate recovery plan in such circumstances, DocGo’s
+Added: business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
+Added: ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.
+Added: of December 31, 2021 and 2020, DocGo had aggregate federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $56.6 million and $76.8 million,
+Added: respectively.
+Added: As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $67.2 million
+Added: and $99.4 million, respectively.
+Added: As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, DocGo had approximately $202,965 and $41,515, respectively, of
+Added: foreign net operating loss carryforwards.
+Added: The federal net operating loss carryforwards generated after December 31, 2017, of approximately
+Added: $62.2 million carry forward indefinitely, while the remaining federal net carryforwards of approximately $11.7 million begin to expire
+Added: State and foreign net operating loss carryforwards generated in the tax years from 2017 to 2020 will begin to expire, if
+Added: not utilized, by 2039.
+Added: DocGo’s unused losses generally carry forward to offset future taxable income, if any, until such unused
+Added: losses expire.
+Added: DocGo may be unable to use these losses to offset income before such unused losses expire.
+Added: However, U.S.
+Added: operating losses generated in 2019 and forward are not subject to expiration and, if not utilized by fiscal 2021, are only available to
+Added: offset 80% of taxable income each year due to changes in tax law attributable to the passage of Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
In addition, if
−Removed: our plan to redeem our Public Shares if we are unable to complete an initial business combination by October 19, 2022, is not
−Removed: completed for any reason, compliance with Delaware law may require that we submit a plan of dissolution to our then-existing stockholders
−Removed: for approval prior to the distribution of the proceeds held in our Trust Account.
−Removed: In that case, public stockholders may be forced
−Removed: to wait beyond 24 months from the closing of the public offering before they receive funds from our Trust Account.
−Removed: circumstances will a public stockholder have any right or interest of any kind in the Trust Account.
−Removed: Holders of warrants will
−Removed: not have any right to the proceeds held in the Trust Account with respect to the warrants.
−Removed: Accordingly, to liquidate their investment,
−Removed: stockholders may be forced to sell their Public Shares or warrants, potentially at a loss.
−Removed: we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer
−Removed: rules, and if a stockholder or a “group”
−Removed: of stockholders are deemed to hold in excess of 15% of our Class A common
−Removed: stock, they will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of our Class A common stock.
−Removed: we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial
−Removed: business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that a
−Removed: public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in
−Removed: concert or as a “group”
−Removed: (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), is restricted from seeking redemption rights
−Removed: with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in the Initial Public Offering without our prior consent, which
−Removed: we refer to as the “Excess Shares.”
−Removed: However, we will not restrict our stockholders’
−Removed: ability to vote all of their
−Removed: shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our initial business combination.
−Removed: Our stockholders’
−Removed: inability to redeem
−Removed: their Excess Shares will reduce their influence over our ability to complete our initial business combination and stockholders
−Removed: could suffer a material loss on their investment in us if they sell Excess Shares in open market transactions.
−Removed: Additionally, our
−Removed: stockholders will not receive redemption distributions with respect to the Excess Shares if we complete our initial business combination.
−Removed: And as a result, stockholders will continue to hold that number of shares exceeding 15% and, in order to dispose of such shares,
−Removed: would be required to sell their stock in open market transactions, potentially at a loss.
−Removed: the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the private placement warrants not being held in the Trust Account
−Removed: are insufficient to allow us to operate until October 19, 2022, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination,
−Removed: in which case our public stockholders may only receive $10.00 per share, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, and
−Removed: our warrants will expire worthless.
−Removed: believe the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account will be sufficient to allow us to operate until October 19, 2022;
−Removed: however, there can be no assurance that our estimate is accurate.
−Removed: Of the funds available to us, we could use a portion of the
−Removed: funds available to us to pay fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business.
−Removed: We could also use a portion
−Removed: of the funds as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop”
−Removed: provision (a provision in letters of intent or merger agreements
−Removed: designed to keep target businesses from “shopping”
−Removed: around for transactions with other companies or investors on terms
−Removed: more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed initial business combination, although we do not
−Removed: have any current intention to do so.
−Removed: If we entered into a letter of intent or merger agreement where we paid for the right to
−Removed: receive exclusivity from a target business and were subsequently required to forfeit such funds (whether as a result of our breach
−Removed: or otherwise), we might not have sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conduct due diligence with respect to, a target
−Removed: If we are required to seek additional capital, we would need to borrow funds from our Sponsor, management team or other
−Removed: third parties to operate or may be forced to liquidate.
−Removed: None of our Sponsor, members of our management team nor any of their affiliates
−Removed: is under any obligation to advance funds to us in such circumstances.
−Removed: Any such advances would be repaid only from funds held outside
−Removed: the Trust Account or from funds released to us upon completion of our initial business combination.
−Removed: Except as may be precluded
−Removed: by the terms of a business combination definitive agreement, up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into private placement-equivalent
−Removed: warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender.
−Removed: Prior to the completion of our initial business combination,
−Removed: we do not expect to seek advances or loans from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as we do not believe
−Removed: third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our
−Removed: Trust Account.
−Removed: If we are unable to obtain these loans, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination.
−Removed: unable to complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share on
−Removed: the liquidation of our Trust Account and our warrants will expire worthless.
−Removed: In certain circumstances, our public stockholders
−Removed: may receive less than $10.00 per share upon our liquidation.
−Removed: See “If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds
−Removed: held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00
−Removed: per share”
−Removed: and other risk factors below.
−Removed: Relating to the Post-Business Combination Company
−Removed: to the completion of our initial business combination, we may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and
−Removed: impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and
−Removed: our stock price, and which could cause stockholders to lose some or all of their investment.
−Removed: if we conduct extensive due diligence on a target business with which we combine, there can be no assurance that this diligence
−Removed: will identify all material issues that may be present within a particular target business, that it would be possible to uncover
−Removed: all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of the target business and outside of
−Removed: our control will not later arise.
−Removed: As a result of these factors, we may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure
−Removed: our operations or incur impairment or other charges that could result in our reporting losses.
−Removed: Even if our due diligence successfully
−Removed: identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with
−Removed: our preliminary risk analysis.
−Removed: Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on our liquidity,
−Removed: the fact that we report charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about us or our securities.
−Removed: addition, charges of this nature may cause us to violate net worth or other covenants to which we may be subject as a result of
−Removed: assuming pre- existing debt held by a target business or by virtue of our obtaining debt financing to partially finance the initial
−Removed: business combination or thereafter.
−Removed: Accordingly, any stockholders who choose to remain stockholders following the initial business
−Removed: combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares.
−Removed: Such stockholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction
−Removed: may seek business combination opportunities with an early stage company, a private company, a financially unstable business or
−Removed: an entity lacking an established record of revenue, cash flow or earnings, which could subject us to volatile revenues, cash flows
−Removed: or earnings or difficulty in retaining key personnel.
−Removed: the extent we complete our initial business combination with an early stage company, a financially unstable business or an entity
−Removed: lacking an established record of revenues or earnings, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the operations of the
−Removed: business with which we combine.
−Removed: These risks include investing in a business without a proven business model or with limited historic
−Removed: financial data, volatile revenues or earnings, intense competition and difficulties in obtaining and retaining key personnel.
−Removed: Although our officers and directors will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, we may not be
−Removed: able to properly ascertain or assess all of the relevant risk factors and we may not have adequate time to complete due diligence.
−Removed: Furthermore, some of these risks may be outside of our control and leave us with no ability to control or reduce the chances that
−Removed: those risks will adversely impact a target business.
−Removed: We may also seek to complete our initial business combination with a privately
−Removed: held company.
−Removed: Very little public information generally exists about private companies, and we could be required to make our decision
−Removed: on whether to pursue a potential initial business combination on the basis of limited information, which may result in a business
−Removed: combination with a company that is not as profitable as we suspected, if at all.
−Removed: ability to successfully complete our initial business combination and to be successful thereafter will be totally dependent upon
−Removed: the efforts of members of our management team, some of whom may join us following our initial business combination.
−Removed: such people could negatively impact the operations and profitability of our post-combination business.
−Removed: ability to successfully complete our business combination is dependent upon the efforts of members of our management team.
−Removed: role of members of our management team in the target business, however, cannot presently be ascertained.
−Removed: Although some members
−Removed: of our management team may remain with the target business in senior management or advisory positions following our initial business
−Removed: combination, it is likely that some or all of the management of the target business will remain in place.
−Removed: While we intend to closely
−Removed: scrutinize any individuals we engage after our initial business combination, we cannot assure you that our assessment of these
−Removed: individuals will prove to be correct.
−Removed: These individuals may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating a company regulated
−Removed: by the SEC, which could cause us to have to expend time and resources helping them become familiar with such requirements.
−Removed: addition, the officers and directors of an acquisition candidate may resign upon completion of our initial business combination.
−Removed: The departure of a target business’s key personnel could negatively impact the operations and profitability of our post-combination
−Removed: The role of an acquisition candidate’s key personnel upon the completion of our initial business combination cannot
−Removed: be ascertained at this time.
−Removed: Although we contemplate that certain members of an acquisition candidate’s management team
−Removed: will remain associated with the acquisition candidate following our initial business combination, it is possible that members
−Removed: of the management of an acquisition candidate will not wish to remain in place.
−Removed: The loss of key personnel could negatively impact
−Removed: the operations and profitability of our post-combination business.
−Removed: are dependent upon our officers and directors and their departure could adversely affect our ability to operate.
−Removed: operations are dependent upon a relatively small group of individuals and, in particular, our officers and directors.
−Removed: that our success depends on the continued service of our executive officers and directors, at least until we have completed our
−Removed: initial business combination.
−Removed: In addition, our officers and directors are not required to commit any specified amount of time
−Removed: to our affairs and, accordingly, will have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various their business activities,
−Removed: including identifying potential business combinations and monitoring the related due diligence, negotiations and other activities.
−Removed: We do not have an employment agreement with, or key-man insurance on the life of, any of our directors or officers.
−Removed: The unexpected
−Removed: loss of the services of one or more of our directors or officers could have a detrimental effect on us.
−Removed: may have a limited ability to assess the management of a prospective target business and, as a result, may affect our initial
−Removed: business combination with a target business whose management may not have the skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a
−Removed: public company, which could, in turn, negatively impact the value of our stockholders’
−Removed: investment in us.
−Removed: evaluating the desirability of effecting our initial business combination with a prospective target business, our ability to assess
−Removed: the target business’s management may be limited due to a lack of time, resources or information.
−Removed: Our assessment of the capabilities
−Removed: of the target’s management, therefore, may prove to be incorrect and such management may lack the skills, qualifications
−Removed: or abilities we suspected.
−Removed: Should the target’s management not possess the skills, qualifications or abilities necessary
−Removed: to manage a public company, the operations and profitability of the post-combination business may be negatively impacted.
−Removed: any stockholders who choose to remain stockholders following the initial business combination could suffer a reduction in the
−Removed: value of their shares.
−Removed: Such stockholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value.
−Removed: the officers and directors of an acquisition candidate may resign upon completion of our initial business combination.
−Removed: The departure
−Removed: of a target business’s key personnel could negatively impact the operations and profitability of our post-combination business.
−Removed: The role of an acquisition candidate’s key personnel upon the completion of our initial business combination cannot be ascertained
−Removed: at this time.
−Removed: Although we contemplate that certain members of an acquisition candidate’s management team will remain associated
−Removed: with the acquisition candidate following our initial business combination, it is possible that members of the management of an
−Removed: acquisition candidate will not wish to remain in place.
−Removed: we consummate our initial business combination with a company with locations, operations or opportunities outside of the United
−Removed: States, we would be subject to a variety of additional risks that may negatively impact our operations.
−Removed: we consummate our initial business combination with a company with locations, operations or opportunities outside of the United
−Removed: States, we would be subject to any special considerations or risks associated with companies operating in an international setting,
−Removed: including any of the following:
−Removed: costs and difficulties inherent in managing cross-border business operations and complying with different commercial and legal
−Removed: requirements of overseas markets;
−Removed: and regulations regarding currency redemption;
−Removed: corporate withholding taxes on individuals;
−Removed: governing the manner in which future business combinations may be effected;
−Removed: and trade barriers;

−Removed: payment cycles and challenges in collecting accounts receivable;
−Removed: issues, such as tax law changes and variations in tax laws as compared to the United States;
−Removed: fluctuations and exchange controls;
−Removed: of inflation;
−Removed: and language differences;
−Removed: strikes, riots, civil disturbances, terrorist attacks, natural disasters and wars;
−Removed: ● deterioration
−Removed: of political relations with the United States;
−Removed: appropriations of assets.
−Removed: may not be able to adequately address these additional risks.
−Removed: If we were unable to do so, our operations might suffer, which may
−Removed: adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.
−Removed: may face risks related to businesses in the transportation software and technology industry.
−Removed: combinations with businesses in the transportation software and technology industry entail special considerations and risks.
−Removed: we are successful in completing a business combination with such a target business, we may be subject to, and possibly adversely
−Removed: affected by, the following risks:
−Removed: we do not develop successful new products or improve existing ones, our business will suffer;
−Removed: may invest in new lines of business that could fail to attract or retain users or generate revenue;
−Removed: will face significant competition and if we are not able to maintain or improve our market share, our business could suffer;
−Removed: loss of one or more members of our management team, or our failure to attract and retain other highly qualified personnel in the
−Removed: future, could seriously harm our business;
−Removed: our security is compromised or if our platform is subjected to attacks that frustrate or thwart our users’
−Removed: ability to access
−Removed: our products and services, our users, advertisers, and partners may cut back on or stop using our products and services altogether,
−Removed: which could seriously harm our business;
−Removed: malware, viruses, hacking and phishing attacks, spamming, and improper or illegal use of our products could seriously harm our
−Removed: business and reputation;
−Removed: we are unable to successfully grow our user base and further monetize our products, our business will suffer;
−Removed: we are unable to protect our intellectual property, the value of our brand and other intangible assets may be diminished, and
−Removed: our business may be seriously harmed;
−Removed: may be subject to regulatory investigations and proceedings in the future, which could cause us to incur substantial costs or
−Removed: require us to change our business practices in a way that could seriously harm our business;
−Removed: used in our products may fail as a result of a manufacturing, design, or other defect over which we have no control, and render
−Removed: our devices inoperable;
−Removed: inability to manage rapid change, increasing consumer expectations and growth;
−Removed: inability to build strong brand identity and improve subscriber or customer satisfaction and loyalty;
−Removed: inability to deal with our subscribers’
−Removed: or customers’
−Removed: privacy concerns;
−Removed: inability to license or enforce intellectual property rights on which our business may depend;
−Removed: inability by us, or a refusal by third parties, to license content to us upon acceptable terms;
−Removed: liability for negligence, copyright, or trademark infringement or other claims based on the nature and content of materials that
−Removed: we may distribute;
−Removed: or failure of our networks, systems or technology as a result of misappropriation of data or other malfeasance, as well as outages,
−Removed: natural disasters, terrorist attacks, accidental releases of information or similar events.
−Removed: of the foregoing could have an adverse impact on our operations following a business combination.
−Removed: However, our efforts in identifying
−Removed: prospective target businesses will not be limited to the transportation software and technology industry.
−Removed: Accordingly, if we acquire
−Removed: a target business in another industry, these risks we will be subject to risks attendant with the specific industry in which we
−Removed: operate or target business which we acquire, which may or may not be different than those risks listed above.
−Removed: management may not be able to maintain control of a target business after our initial business combination.
−Removed: We cannot provide
−Removed: assurance that, upon loss of control of a target business, new management will possess the skills, qualifications or abilities
−Removed: necessary to profitably operate such business.
−Removed: may structure our initial business combination so that the post-transaction company in which our public stockholders own or acquire
−Removed: shares will own less than 100% of the outstanding equity interests or assets of a target business, but we will only complete such
−Removed: business combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the
−Removed: target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for the post-transaction company not to
−Removed: be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
−Removed: Even if the post-transaction company owns or
−Removed: acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target, our stockholders prior to our initial business combination
−Removed: may collectively own a minority interest in the post business combination company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target
−Removed: and us in our initial business combination.
−Removed: For example, we could pursue a transaction in which we issue a substantial number
−Removed: of new shares of common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of a target, or issue a substantial number
−Removed: of new shares to third-parties in connection with financing our initial business combination.
−Removed: In such cases, we would acquire
−Removed: a 100% interest in the target.
−Removed: However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares of common stock, our
−Removed: stockholders immediately prior to such transaction could own less than a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock subsequent
−Removed: to such transaction.
−Removed: In addition, other minority stockholders may subsequently combine their holdings resulting in a single person
−Removed: or group obtaining a larger share of the company’s stock than we initially acquired.
−Removed: Accordingly, this may make it more
−Removed: likely that our management will not be able to maintain our control of the target business.
−Removed: We cannot provide assurance that,
−Removed: upon loss of control of a target business, new management will possess the skills, qualifications or abilities necessary to profitably
−Removed: operate such business.
−Removed: do not have a specified maximum redemption threshold.
−Removed: The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible for us to
−Removed: complete an initial business combination with which a substantial majority of our stockholders do not agree.
−Removed: certificate of incorporation will not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold, except that we will only redeem our Public
−Removed: Shares so long as (after such redemption) our net tangible assets will be at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon
−Removed: consummation of our initial business combination (such that we do not then become subject to the SEC’s “penny stock”
−Removed: As a result, we may be able to complete our initial business combination even though a substantial majority of our public
−Removed: stockholders do not agree with the transaction and have redeemed their shares or, if we seek stockholder approval of our initial
−Removed: business combination and do not conduct redemptions in connection with our business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules,
−Removed: have entered into privately negotiated agreements to sell their shares to our officers, directors or their affiliates.
−Removed: event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all shares of Class A common stock that are validly
−Removed: submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed business combination
−Removed: exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the business combination or redeem any shares, all shares
−Removed: of Class A common stock submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof, and we instead may search for an
−Removed: alternate business combination.
−Removed: Relating to Potential Conflicts of Interest of our Management, Directors, and Others
−Removed: officers and directors may allocate their time to other businesses, thereby causing conflicts of interest in their determination
−Removed: as to how much time to devote to our affairs.
−Removed: This conflict of interest could have a negative impact on our ability to complete
−Removed: our initial business combination.
−Removed: of our officers or directors is required to commit his or her full time to our affairs, which may result in a conflict of interest
−Removed: in allocating their time between our operations and our search for a business combination and their other businesses, including
−Removed: other business endeavors for which he or she may be entitled to substantial compensation.
−Removed: We do not intend to have any full-time
−Removed: employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination.
−Removed: Our independent directors also serve as officers or board
−Removed: members for other entities.
−Removed: If our officers’
−Removed: and directors’
−Removed: other business affairs require them to devote substantial
−Removed: amounts of time to such affairs in excess of their current commitment levels, it could limit their ability to devote time to our
−Removed: affairs, which may have a negative impact on our ability to complete our initial business combination.
−Removed: of our officers and directors are now, and all of them may in the future become, affiliated with entities engaged in business
−Removed: activities similar to those intended to be conducted by us (and they may also become an officer or director of any other special
−Removed: purpose acquisition company) and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time and determining to which
−Removed: entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.
−Removed: we complete our initial business combination, we intend to engage in the business of identifying and combining with one or more
−Removed: businesses or entities.
−Removed: Our officers and directors are, and may in the future become, affiliated with entities (such as operating
−Removed: companies or investment vehicles) that are engaged in a similar business, although our officers may not become an officer or director
−Removed: of any other special purpose acquisition company which has publicly filed a registration statement with the SEC until we have
−Removed: entered into a definitive agreement regarding our initial business combination or we have failed to complete our initial business
−Removed: combination within 24 months after the closing of our Initial Public Offering.
−Removed: Our officers and directors also may become aware
−Removed: of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us and the other entities in the future to which they owe
−Removed: certain fiduciary or contractual duties.
−Removed: Accordingly, they may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular
−Removed: business opportunity should be presented.
−Removed: These conflicts may not be resolved in our favor and a potential target business may
−Removed: be presented to another entity prior to its presentation to us.
−Removed: officers, directors, security holders and their respective affiliates may have competitive pecuniary interests that conflict with
−Removed: our interests.
−Removed: have not adopted a policy that expressly prohibits our directors, officers, security holders or affiliates from having a direct
−Removed: or indirect pecuniary or financial interest in any investment to be acquired or disposed of by us or in any transaction to which
−Removed: we are a party or have an interest.
−Removed: In fact we may enter into a business combination with a target business that is affiliated
−Removed: with our officers, directors or their affiliates although we do not currently intend to do so.
−Removed: We do not have a policy that expressly
−Removed: prohibits any such persons from engaging for their own account in business activities of the types conducted by us.
−Removed: such persons or entities may have a conflict between their interests and ours.
−Removed: our agreement that, in the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with a company business that is affiliated
−Removed: with our officers, directors or their affiliates, we, or a committee of independent directors, will obtain an opinion from an
−Removed: independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions that our initial business
−Removed: combination is fair to us from a financial point of view, potential conflicts of interest still may exist.
−Removed: As a result, the terms
−Removed: of the business combination may not be as advantageous to our company and our public stockholders as they would be absent any
−Removed: conflicts of interest.
−Removed: our Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us if our initial business combination is not completed,
−Removed: a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular business combination target is appropriate for our initial
−Removed: business combination.
−Removed: of December 31, 2020, our Sponsor owned 100% of the 2,875,000 issued and outstanding Founder Shares.
−Removed: The number of Founder Shares
−Removed: issued was determined based on the expectation that such Founder Shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares after the
−Removed: Initial Public Offering.
−Removed: The Founder Shares will be worthless if we do not complete an initial business combination.
−Removed: our Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 2,533,333 Private Placement Warrants at $1.50 per warrants for a total purchase price of
−Removed: Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one share of our Class A common stock at $11.50 per share, and will
−Removed: be deemed worthless if we do not complete an initial business combination.
−Removed: Holders of Founder Shares have agreed (i) to vote any
−Removed: shares owned by them in favor of any proposed initial business combination and not to redeem any Founder Shares in connection
−Removed: with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination.
−Removed: In addition, we may obtain loans from our Sponsor,
−Removed: affiliates of our Sponsor or an officer or director.
−Removed: The personal and financial interests of our officers and directors may influence
−Removed: their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business combination, completing an initial business combination and influencing
−Removed: the operation of the business following the initial business combination.
−Removed: This risk may become more acute as the deadline for
−Removed: completing our initial business combination nears.
−Removed: of our management team may negotiate employment or consulting agreements with a target business in connection with a particular
−Removed: business combination.
−Removed: These agreements may provide for them to receive compensation following our business combination and as
−Removed: a result, may cause them to have conflicts of interest in determining whether a particular business combination is the most advantageous.
−Removed: of our management team may be able to remain with the company after the completion of our initial business combination only if
−Removed: they are able to negotiate employment or consulting agreements in connection with the business combination.
−Removed: Such negotiations
−Removed: would take place simultaneously with the negotiation of the business combination and could provide for such individuals to receive
−Removed: compensation in the form of cash payments and/or our securities for services they would render to us after the completion of the
−Removed: business combination.
−Removed: The personal and financial interests of such individuals may influence their motivation in identifying and
−Removed: selecting a target business.
−Removed: However, we believe the ability of such individuals to remain with us after the completion of our
−Removed: initial business combination will not be the determining factor in our decision as to whether or not we will proceed with any
−Removed: potential business combination.
−Removed: There is no certainty, however, that any members of our management team will remain with us after
−Removed: the completion of our initial business combination.
−Removed: We cannot assure you that any members of our management team will remain in
−Removed: senior management or advisory positions with us.
−Removed: The determination as to whether any members of our management team will remain
−Removed: with us will be made at the time of our initial business combination.
−Removed: Related to our Securities
−Removed: have not registered the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants under the Securities Act or any
−Removed: state securities laws at this time, and such registration may not be in place when an investor desires to exercise warrants, thus
−Removed: precluding such investor from being able to exercise its warrants except on a cashless basis.
−Removed: If the issuance of the shares upon
−Removed: exercise of warrants is not registered, qualified or exempt from registration or qualification, the holder of such warrant will
−Removed: not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless.
−Removed: have not yet registered the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants under the Securities Act or
−Removed: any state securities laws.
−Removed: However, under the terms of the warrant agreement, we have agreed that as soon as practicable, but
−Removed: in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of our initial business combination, we will use our reasonable best
−Removed: efforts to file, and within 60 business days following our initial business combination to have declared effective, a registration
−Removed: statement covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants.
−Removed: our reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to
−Removed: those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed.
−Removed: We cannot assure you that we will be able
−Removed: to do so if, for example, any facts or events arise which represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
−Removed: statement or prospectus, the financial statements contained or incorporated by reference therein are not current, complete or
−Removed: correct or the SEC issues a stop order.
−Removed: If the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are not registered under the Securities
−Removed: Act, we will be required to permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.
−Removed: However, no warrant will be exercisable
−Removed: for cash or on a cashless basis, and we will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants,
−Removed: unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the
−Removed: exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available.
−Removed: Notwithstanding the above, if our Class A common stock
−Removed: is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition
−Removed: of a “covered security”
−Removed: under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders
−Removed: of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis”
−Removed: in accordance with Section 3(a)(9)
−Removed: of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement,
−Removed: but we will be required to use our best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent
−Removed: an exemption is not available.
−Removed: In no event will we be required to net cash settle any warrant.
−Removed: If the issuance of the shares upon
−Removed: exercise of the warrants is not so registered or qualified or exempt from registration or qualification, the holder of such warrant
−Removed: shall not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless.
−Removed: In such event, holders
−Removed: who acquired their warrants as part of a purchase of units will have paid the full unit purchase price solely for the shares of
−Removed: Class A common stock included in the units.
−Removed: There may be a circumstance where an exemption from registration exists for holders
−Removed: of our private placement warrants to exercise their warrants while a corresponding exemption does not exist for holders of the
−Removed: Public Warrants included as part of units sold in our Initial Public Offering.
−Removed: In such an instance, the initial purchasers and
−Removed: their permitted transferees (which may include our directors and executive officers) would be able to exercise their warrants
−Removed: and sell the common stock underlying their warrants while holders of our Public Warrants would not be able to exercise their warrants
−Removed: and sell the underlying common stock.
−Removed: If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even
−Removed: if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying shares of Class A common stock for sale under all applicable state
−Removed: securities laws.
−Removed: As a result, we may redeem the warrants as set forth above even if the holders are otherwise unable to exercise
−Removed: their warrants.
−Removed: may amend the terms of the warrants in a manner that may be adverse to holders of Public Warrants with the approval by the holders
−Removed: of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants.
−Removed: As a result, the exercise price of public stockholders’
−Removed: could be increased, the exercise period could be shortened and the number of shares of our Class A common stock purchasable upon
−Removed: exercise of a warrant could be decreased, all without public stockholders’
−Removed: warrants were issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant
−Removed: agent, and us.
−Removed: The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder
−Removed: to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then
−Removed: outstanding Public Warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of Public Warrants.
−Removed: Accordingly, we may amend the terms of the Public Warrants in a manner adverse to a holder of Public Warrants if holders of at
−Removed: least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants approve of such amendment.
−Removed: Although our ability to amend the terms of the Public
−Removed: Warrants with the consent of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could
−Removed: be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the warrants, convert the warrants into cash or stock, shorten
−Removed: the exercise period or decrease the number of shares of our Class A common stock purchasable upon exercise of a warrant.
−Removed: may redeem unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to stockholders, thereby making their
−Removed: warrants worthless.
−Removed: have the ability to redeem outstanding warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a
−Removed: price of  
−Removed: $0.01 per warrant;
−Removed: provided that the reported closing price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds
−Removed: $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading
−Removed: days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we give proper notice of such redemption
−Removed: to the warrant holders and provided certain other conditions are met.
−Removed: If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may
−Removed: not exercise our redemption right if the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration
−Removed: or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or we are unable to effect such registration or qualification.
−Removed: our best efforts to register or qualify such shares of common stock under the blue sky laws of the state of residence in those
−Removed: states in which the warrants were initially offered by us in our Initial Public Offering.
−Removed: Redemption of the outstanding warrants
−Removed: could force stockholders (i) to exercise their warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous
−Removed: to do so, (ii) to sell their warrants at the then-current market price when they might otherwise wish to hold their warrants or
−Removed: (iii) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding warrants are called for redemption, is likely
−Removed: to be substantially less than the market value of their warrants.
−Removed: None of the private placement warrants will be redeemable by
−Removed: us so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.
−Removed: addition, unlike many other similarly structured blank check companies, we have the ability to redeem outstanding warrants 90 days
−Removed: after they become exercisable for $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’
−Removed: prior written notice of redemption provided
−Removed: that holders will be able to exercise their warrants prior to redemption for a number of Class A common stock determined
−Removed: based on the redemption date and the fair market value of our Class A common stock and provided certain other conditions
−Removed: We would redeem the warrants in this manner when we believe it is in our best interest to update our capital structure
−Removed: to remove the warrants and pay fair market value to the warrant holders.
−Removed: Any such redemption may have similar consequences to
−Removed: the redemption described in the above paragraph.
−Removed: In addition, such redemption may occur at a time when the warrants are “out-of-the-money,”
−Removed: in which case you would lose any potential embedded value from a subsequent increase in the value of the Class A common stock
−Removed: had your warrants remained outstanding.
−Removed: Finally, this redemption feature provides a ceiling to the value of your warrants since
−Removed: it locks in the redemption price in the number of Class A common stock to be received if we choose to redeem the warrants
−Removed: for common stock.
−Removed: This redemption feature may cause our warrants to be worth less than other blank check companies which do not
−Removed: have this feature.
−Removed: may delist our securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’
−Removed: ability to make transactions in our
−Removed: securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.
−Removed: securities are listed on Nasdaq.
−Removed: There can be no assurance that our securities will continue to be listed on Nasdaq in the future
−Removed: or prior to our initial business combination.
−Removed: In order to continue listing our securities on Nasdaq prior to our initial business
−Removed: combination, we must maintain certain financial, distribution and stock price levels.
−Removed: Generally, following our Initial Public
−Removed: Offering, we must maintain a minimum amount in stockholders’
−Removed: equity (generally $2,500,000) and a minimum number of holders
−Removed: of our securities (generally 300 public holders).
−Removed: Additionally, in connection with our initial business combination, we will be
−Removed: required to demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq’s initial listing requirements, which are more rigorous than Nasdaq’s
−Removed: continued listing requirements, in order to continue to maintain the listing of our securities on Nasdaq.
−Removed: For instance, our stock
−Removed: price would generally be required to be at least $4.00 per share, our stockholders’
−Removed: equity would generally be required to
−Removed: be at least $4.0 million, we would be required to have a minimum of 300 round lot holders of our securities and we would be required
−Removed: to have a market value of listed securities of 
−Removed: $50.0 million There can be no assurance that we will be able to meet those
−Removed: initial listing requirements at that time.
−Removed: Nasdaq delists our securities from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list our securities on another national securities
−Removed: exchange, we expect our securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market.
−Removed: If this were to occur, we could face significant
−Removed: material adverse consequences, including:
+Added: a corporation undergoes an “ownership change” — generally defined as a greater than 50% cumulative change
+Added: in the equity ownership of certain shareholders over a rolling three-year period — under Section 382 of the
+Added: Internal Revenue Code, DocGo’s ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards and other pre-change tax
+Added: attributes to offset future taxable income or taxes may be limited.
+Added: Although the Merger did not constitute such an ownership change, DocGo
+Added: may experience ownership changes in the future as a result of changes in its stock ownership, some of which may not be within DocGo’s
+Added: control, which could materially reduce or eliminate DocGo’s ability to use these losses or tax attributes to offset future taxable
+Added: income or tax and have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: in tax laws or unanticipated tax liabilities could adversely affect DocGo’s effective income tax rate and profitability.
+Added: is subject to income taxes in the United States (federal and state) and various foreign jurisdictions.
+Added: DocGo’s effective
+Added: income tax rate could be adversely affected in the future by a number of factors, including changes in the valuation of deferred
+Added: tax assets and liabilities, changes in tax laws and regulations or their interpretations and application, and the outcome of income
+Added: tax audits in various jurisdictions around the world.
+Added: In particular, the Biden administration has proposed increases to the U.S.
+Added: income tax rate from 21% to 28% and made other proposals.
+Added: If any of these (or similar) proposals are ultimately enacted into law,
+Added: in whole or in part, they could have a negative impact on our effective tax rate.
+Added: We cannot predict the likelihood, timing or
+Added: substance of U.S.
+Added: tax proposals and will continue to monitor the progress of such proposals, as well as other global tax
+Added: reform initiatives.
+Added: in accounting rules, assumptions or judgments could materially and adversely affect DocGo.
+Added: rules and interpretations for certain aspects of DocGo’s financial reporting are highly complex and involve significant assumptions
+Added: and judgment.
+Added: These complexities could lead to a delay in the preparation and dissemination of DocGo’s financial statements.
+Added: changes in accounting rules and interpretations or in DocGo’s accounting assumptions or judgments, such as asset impairments and
+Added: contingencies, are likely to significantly impact its financial statements.
+Added: In some cases, DocGo could be required to apply a new or revised
+Added: standard retroactively, resulting in restating financial statements from prior period(s).
+Added: Any of these circumstances could have a material
+Added: adverse effect on DocGo’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: For additional information, see the financial
+Added: statements of DocGo and related footnotes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
+Added: internal control over financial reporting may not be effective and its independent registered public accounting firm may not be
+Added: able to certify as to their effectiveness, which could adversely affect DocGo’s business.
+Added: a public company, DocGo is required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act,
+Added: which require management to certify financial and other information in its quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual
+Added: management report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: DocGo is an emerging growth company and,
+Added: as such, its independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of its
+Added: internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until the date DocGo is no longer an emerging growth company.
+Added: At such time, DocGo’s independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event that
+Added: it is not satisfied with the level at which DocGo’s controls are documented, designed or operating.
+Added: comply with the requirements of being a public company, DocGo may need to undertake various actions, such as implementing additional
+Added: internal controls and procedures and hiring additional accounting or internal audit staff.
+Added: Testing and maintaining internal controls
+Added: can divert management’s attention from other matters that are important to the operation of DocGo’s business.
+Added: identifies material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting or is unable to comply with the requirements of
+Added: Section 404 or assert that its internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if DocGo’s independent registered
+Added: public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting
+Added: when such disclosure is required, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of DocGo’s financial reports
+Added: and the market price of its common stock could be negatively affected, and DocGo could become subject to investigations by the
+Added: SEC or other regulatory authorities, any of which could have an adverse effect on DocGo’s business, financial condition
+Added: and results of operations.
+Added: identified material weaknesses in Motion’s internal control over financial reporting with respect to Motion’s previously
+Added: issued financial statements.
+Added: These material weaknesses could continue to adversely affect our ability to report our results of
+Added: operations and financial condition accurately and in a timely manner.
+Added: is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable
+Added: assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
+Added: accordance with GAAP.
+Added: Management also evaluates the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls and we will disclose
+Added: any changes and material weaknesses identified through such evaluation in those internal controls.
+Added: A material weakness is a deficiency,
+Added: or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that
+Added: a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
+Added: to the Closing, Motion identified a material weakness in Motion’s internal control over financial reporting related to the
+Added: classification of the Warrants as equity instead of liabilities.
+Added: On May 10, 2021, the audit committee of Motion and management
+Added: concluded that Motion’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2020, and, accordingly,
+Added: the audit committee of Motion authorized management to restate Motion’s audited financial statements for the year ended
+Added: December 31, 2020, where Motion concluded that the control deficiency that resulted in the incorrect classification of Warrants
+Added: constituted a material weakness as of December 31, 2020, resulting in the filing of Amendment No.
+Added: 1 to Motion’s Annual
+Added: Report on Form 10-K/A, filed with the SEC on May 28, 2021.
+Added: This material weakness resulted in a material misstatement of
+Added: Warrant liabilities, change in fair value of Warrant liabilities, additional paid-in capital, accumulated deficit and related
+Added: financial disclosures as of and for the period from August 11 (inception) through December 31, 2020, as of September 30,
+Added: 2020, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and the period from August 11, 2020 (inception) through September 30,
+Added: to filing of Amendment No.
+Added: 1 to Motion’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, based on SEC guidance, we identified a material weakness
+Added: in Motion’s internal control over financial reporting related to the Motion’s application of ASC 480-10-S99-3A to
+Added: its accounting classification of the Motion Class A Common Stock.
+Added: On November 22, 2021, our audit committee and management
+Added: concluded that Motion’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2020, and, accordingly,
+Added: our audit committee authorized management to restate Motion’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31,
+Added: 2020, where we concluded that the control deficiency that resulted in the incorrect classification of Motion Class A Common Stock
+Added: constituted a material weakness as of December 31, 2020, resulting in the filing of Amendment No.
+Added: 2 to Motion’s Annual
+Added: Report on Form 10-K/A, filed with the SEC on November 23, 2021.
+Added: Historically, a portion of the Public Shares was classified
+Added: as permanent equity to maintain stockholders’ equity greater than $5 million on the basis that Motion would not redeem
+Added: its Motion Class A Common Stock in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001, as described
+Added: in the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Motion.
+Added: Pursuant to the Company’s re-evaluation of Motion’s
+Added: application of ASC 480-10-S99-3A to its accounting classification of the Motion Class A Common Stock, the Company’s
+Added: management has determined that the Motion Class A Common Stock include certain provisions that require classification of all of
+Added: the Motion Class A Common Stock as temporary equity regardless of the net tangible assets redemption limitation contained in the
+Added: amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Motion.
+Added: For a discussion of management’s consideration of the material
+Added: weakness identified related to the Company’s application of ASC 480-10-S99-3A to its accounting classification of the
+Added: Public Share, see “Note 2” to Motion’s financial statements included in this prospectus.
+Added: have implemented a remediation plan to remediate these material weakness surrounding Motion’s historical presentation of
+Added: our Warrants and Motion Class A Common Stock but can give no assurance that the measures we have taken will prevent any future
+Added: material weaknesses or deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: Even though we have strengthened controls and
+Added: procedures, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or
+Added: to facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements.
+Added: may face litigation and other risks as a result of the material weakness in Motion’s internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: a result of such material weakness, the restatements, the change in accounting for the Warrants, the change in the classification
+Added: of all of the Motion Class A Common Stock as temporary equity, and other matters raised or that may in the future be raised by
+Added: the SEC, we face potential for litigation or other disputes which may include, among others, claims invoking the federal and state
+Added: securities laws, contractual claims or other claims arising from the restatement and material weaknesses in our internal control
+Added: over financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements.
+Added: As of the date of this prospectus, we have no knowledge
+Added: of any such litigation or dispute.
+Added: However, we can provide no assurance that such litigation or dispute will not arise in the
+Added: Any such litigation or dispute, whether successful or not, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
+Added: business, results of operations and financial condition.
+Added: Related to Healthcare Regulation
+Added: conducts business in a heavily regulated industry and any failure to comply with these laws and government regulations could require
+Added: DocGo to make significant changes to its operations and could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition,
+Added: and results of operations.
+Added: healthcare industry is heavily regulated and closely scrutinized by federal and state governments.
+Added: Comprehensive statutes
+Added: and regulations govern the manner in which DocGo provides and bills for its services and collects reimbursement from governmental
+Added: programs and private payors, its relationship with its providers, vendors and clients, its marketing activities and other aspects
+Added: of its operations.
+Added: Of particular importance are:
+Added: federal False Claims Act that imposes civil and criminal liability on individuals or entities that knowingly submit false or fraudulent
+Added: claims for payment to the government or knowingly making, or causing to be made, a false statement in order to have a false claim paid,
+Added: including qui tam or whistleblower suits;
+Added: federal Civil Monetary Penalties Law prohibits, among other things, the offering or transfer of remuneration to a Medicare or state healthcare
+Added: program beneficiary if the person knows or should know it is likely to influence the beneficiary’s selection of a particular provider,
+Added: practitioner or supplier of services reimbursable by Medicare or a state healthcare program, unless an exception applies;
+Added: ● reassignment
+Added: of payment rules that prohibit certain types of billing and collection practices in connection with claims payable by the Medicare or
+Added: Medicaid programs;
+Added: provision of the Social Security Act that imposes criminal penalties on healthcare providers who fail to disclose or refund known overpayments;
+Added: and state laws that prohibit providers from billing and receiving payment from Medicare and Medicaid for services unless the services
+Added: are medically necessary, adequately and accurately documented, and billed using codes that accurately reflect the type and level of services
+Added: criminal healthcare fraud provisions of HIPAA that prohibit knowingly and willfully executing a scheme or artifice to defraud any healthcare
+Added: benefit program or falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement
+Added: in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services.
+Added: HIPAA also imposes certain regulatory and contractual
+Added: requirements regarding the privacy, security and transmission of PHI.
+Added: Similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, a person
+Added: or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to have committed a violation;
+Added: and state laws and policies that require healthcare providers to maintain licensure, certification or accreditation to provide professional
+Added: healthcare services, to enroll and participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, to report certain changes in their operations to
+Added: the agencies that administer these programs, as well as state insurance laws;
+Added: federal Anti-Kickback Statute that prohibits the knowing and willful offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of any bribe, kickback,
+Added: rebate or other remuneration for referring an individual, in return for ordering, leasing, purchasing or recommending or arranging for
+Added: or to induce the referral of an individual or the ordering, purchasing or leasing of items or services covered, in whole or in part,
+Added: by any federal healthcare program, such as Medicare and Medicaid.
+Added: Remuneration has been interpreted broadly to be anything of value,
+Added: and could include compensation, discounts or free marketing services.
+Added: A person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the
+Added: statute or specific intent to violate it to have committed a violation.
+Added: In addition, the government may assert that a claim including
+Added: items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes
+Added: of the False Claims Act;
+Added: state law provisions pertaining to false claims, self-referral and anti-kickback issues, some of which may apply to items or
+Added: services reimbursed by any third-party payor, including commercial insurers or services paid out-of-pocket by patients;
+Added: federal physician self-referral law under Section 1877 of the Social Security Act, commonly referred to as the Stark Law, that,
+Added: unless one of the statutory or regulatory exceptions applies, prohibits physicians from referring Medicare or Medicaid patients to an
+Added: entity for the provision of certain “designated health services” if the physician or a member of such physician’s immediate
+Added: family has a direct or indirect financial relationship (including an ownership interest or a compensation arrangement) with the entity,
+Added: and prohibits the entity from billing Medicare or Medicaid for such designated health services.
+Added: Failure to refund amounts received as
+Added: a result of a prohibited referral on a timely basis may constitute a false or fraudulent claim and may result in civil penalties and
+Added: additional penalties under the federal False Claims Act noted below;
+Added: laws that prohibit general business corporations, such as DocGo, from practicing medicine, controlling physicians’ medical decisions
+Added: or engaging in some practices such as splitting fees with physicians;
+Added: Federal Trade Commission Act and federal and state consumer protection, advertisement and unfair competition laws, which broadly regulate
+Added: marketplace activities and activities that could potentially harm consumers;
+Added: that regulate debt collection practices.
+Added: ability to provide its services internationally is subject to the similar laws and regulations in those jurisdictions and the
+Added: interpretation of these laws is evolving and varies significantly from country to county.
+Added: As in the United States, many of
+Added: these laws and regulations are enforced by governmental, judicial and regulatory authorities with broad discretion.
+Added: Although similar
+Added: to their U.S.
+Added: counterparts in the subject matters addressed, these foreign laws may be very different in what is required
+Added: of the business and how they regulate the underlying activities.
+Added: DocGo cannot be certain that its interpretation of such laws
+Added: and regulations are correct in how its structures its operations, its arrangements with its healthcare provider partners, services
+Added: agreements and customer arrangements.
+Added: of these laws and regulations are complex, broad in scope and have few or narrowly structured exceptions and safe harbors.
+Added: DocGo is required to fit certain activities within one of the statutory exceptions and safe harbors available and it is possible
+Added: that some of DocGo’s current or future business activities could be subject to challenge under one or more of such laws.
+Added: Achieving and sustaining compliance with these laws can be time-consuming, requires the commitment of significant resources and
+Added: may prove costly.
+Added: The risk of DocGo being found in violation of these laws and regulations is increased by the fact that many
+Added: of these laws and regulations have not been fully interpreted by the regulatory authorities or the courts, and their provisions
+Added: are sometimes open to a variety of interpretations.
+Added: DocGo’s failure to accurately anticipate the application of these laws
+Added: and regulations to its current or future business or any other failure or alleged failure to comply with legal or regulatory requirements
+Added: could create liability for DocGo and negatively affect its business.
+Added: Any action against DocGo for violation of these laws or regulations,
+Added: even if DocGo successfully defends against it, could cause DocGo to incur significant legal expenses, divert management’s
+Added: attention from the operation of the business and result in adverse publicity.
+Added: officials have a number of mechanisms to combat regulatory compliance, fraud and abuse, and if DocGo fails to comply with applicable
+Added: laws and regulations, it could suffer civil or criminal penalties, including fines, damages, recoupment of overpayments, loss
+Added: of licenses needed to operate, loss of enrollment status and approvals necessary to participate in Medicare, Medicaid and other
+Added: government and private third-party healthcare and payor programs, and exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid
+Added: and other government healthcare programs.
+Added: Investors, officers and managing employees associated with entities found to have committed
+Added: healthcare fraud may also be excluded from participation in government healthcare programs.
+Added: In addition, because of the potential
+Added: for large monetary exposure, criminal liability and negative publicity, healthcare providers often resolve allegations without
+Added: admissions of liability for significant and material amounts to avoid the uncertainty of damages that may be awarded in litigation
+Added: Such settlements often contain additional compliance and reporting requirements as part of a consent decree, settlement
+Added: agreement or corporate integrity agreement.
+Added: believes that its business operations materially comply with applicable healthcare laws and regulations.
+Added: However, some of the
+Added: healthcare laws and regulations applicable to DocGo are subject to limited or evolving interpretations, and a review of DocGo’s
+Added: business or operations by a court, law enforcement or a regulatory authority might result in a determination of non-compliance.
+Added: Any failure to comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements and the consequences of such non-compliance, including
+Added: those discussed above, could have a material adverse effect on DocGo’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: is required to comply with laws governing the transmission, security and privacy of health information.
+Added: state and federal laws and regulations govern the collection, dissemination, use, privacy, confidentiality, security, availability,
+Added: integrity and other processing of PHI and PII, including HIPAA.
+Added: HIPAA establishes a set of national privacy and security
+Added: standards for the protection of PHI by health plans, healthcare clearinghouses and certain healthcare providers, referred to as
+Added: “covered entities,” and the business associates with whom such covered entities contract for services.
+Added: HIPAA requires
+Added: covered entities such as DocGo and their business associates to develop and maintain policies and procedures with respect to PHI
+Added: that is used or disclosed, including the adoption of administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect this information.
+Added: HIPAA also implemented the use of standard transaction code sets and standard identifiers that covered entities must use when
+Added: submitting or receiving certain electronic healthcare transactions, including activities associated with the billing and collection
+Added: of healthcare claims.
+Added: also authorizes state attorneys general to file suit on behalf of their residents.
+Added: Courts may award damages, costs and attorneys’
+Added: fees related to violations of HIPAA in these cases.
+Added: While HIPAA does not create a private right of action allowing individuals
+Added: to sue DocGo in civil court for violations of HIPAA, its standards have been used as the basis for duty of care in state civil
+Added: suits such as those for negligence or recklessness in the misuse or breach of PHI.
+Added: In addition, HIPAA mandates that the Secretary
+Added: of HHS conduct periodic compliance audits of covered entities and business associates for compliance with the HIPAA privacy and
+Added: security requirements.
+Added: HIPAA also tasks HHS with establishing a methodology whereby harmed individuals who were the victims of
+Added: breaches of unsecured PHI may receive a percentage of the fine paid by the violator under the Civil Monetary Penalties Law.
+Added: further requires that patients be notified of any unauthorized acquisition, access, use or disclosure of their unsecured PHI that
+Added: compromises the privacy or security of such information, with certain exceptions related to unintentional or inadvertent use or
+Added: disclosure by employees or authorized individuals.
+Added: HIPAA specifies that such notifications must be made “without unreasonable
+Added: delay and in no case later than 60 calendar days after discovery of the breach.” If a breach affects 500 patients or
+Added: more, it must be reported to HHS without unreasonable delay, and HHS will post the name of the breaching entity on its public
+Added: Breaches affecting 500 patients or more in the same state or jurisdiction must also be reported to the local media.
+Added: If a breach involves fewer than 500 people, the covered entity must record it in a log and notify HHS at least annually.
+Added: addition to HIPAA, numerous other federal and state laws and regulations protect the confidentiality, privacy, availability, integrity
+Added: and security of PHI and other types of PII.
+Added: State statutes and regulations vary from state to state, and these laws and regulations
+Added: in many cases are more restrictive than, and may not be preempted by, HIPAA and its implementing rules.
+Added: These laws and regulations
+Added: are often uncertain, contradictory and subject to changed or differing interpretations, and DocGo expects new laws, rules and
+Added: regulations regarding privacy, data protection and information security to be proposed and enacted in the future.
+Added: that new data security laws are implemented, DocGo may not be able to timely comply with such requirements, or such requirements
+Added: may not be compatible with its current processes.
+Added: Changing DocGo’s processes could be time-consuming and expensive,
+Added: and failure to timely implement required changes could subject DocGo to liability for non-compliance.
+Added: Some states may afford private
+Added: rights of action to individuals who believe their PII has been misused.
+Added: This complex, dynamic legal landscape regarding privacy,
+Added: data protection and information security creates significant compliance issues for DocGo and potentially restricts its ability
+Added: to collect, use and disclose data and can expose it to additional expense, adverse publicity and liability.
+Added: is ongoing concern from privacy advocates, regulators and others regarding data protection and privacy issues, and the number
+Added: of jurisdictions with data protection and privacy laws has been increasing.
+Added: In addition, the scope of protection afforded to data
+Added: subjects by many of these data protection and privacy laws has been increasing.
+Added: There are also ongoing public policy discussions
+Added: regarding whether the standards for deidentified, anonymous or pseudonymized health information are sufficient, and the risk of
+Added: re-identification sufficiently small, to adequately protect patient privacy.
+Added: These trends may lead to further restrictions
+Added: on the use of this and similar categories of information.
+Added: These initiatives or future initiatives could compromise DocGo’s
+Added: ability to access and use data or to develop or market current or future services.
+Added: DocGo has implemented data privacy and security measures in an effort to comply with applicable laws and regulations relating
+Added: to privacy and data protection, some PHI and other PII or confidential information is transmitted to DocGo by third parties, who
+Added: may not implement adequate security and privacy measures, and it is possible that laws, rules and regulations relating to privacy,
+Added: data protection or information security may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with DocGo’s practices
+Added: or those of third parties who transmit PHI and other PII or confidential information to it.
+Added: Additionally, as a business associate
+Added: under HIPAA, DocGo may also be liable for privacy and security breaches of PHI and certain similar failures of DocGo’s subcontractors.
+Added: Even though DocGo contractually requires its subcontractors to safeguard protected health information as required by law, DocGo
+Added: still has limited control over their actions and practices.
+Added: If DocGo or these third parties are found to have violated such laws,
+Added: rules or regulations, it could result in government-imposed fines, orders requiring that DocGo or these third parties change
+Added: its or their practices, or criminal charges, which could adversely affect DocGo’s business.
+Added: Complying with these various
+Added: laws and regulations could cause DocGo to incur substantial costs or require it to change its business practices, systems and
+Added: compliance procedures in a manner adverse to its business.
+Added: publishes statements to its patients and partners that describe how it handles and protects PHI.
+Added: If federal or state regulatory
+Added: authorities or private litigants consider any portion of these statements to be untrue, DocGo may be subject to claims of deceptive
+Added: practices, which could lead to significant liabilities and consequences, including, without limitation, costs of responding to
+Added: investigations, defending against litigation, settling claims and complying with regulatory or court orders.
+Added: also sends short message service, or SMS, text messages to potential end users who are eligible to use its service through certain
+Added: customers and partners.
+Added: While DocGo obtains consent from or on behalf of these individuals to send text messages, federal or state
+Added: regulatory authorities or private litigants may claim that the notices and disclosures DocGo provides, form of consents it obtains
+Added: or its SMS texting practices, are not adequate.
+Added: These SMS texting campaigns are potential sources of risk for class action
+Added: lawsuits and liability for DocGo.
+Added: Numerous class action suits under federal and state laws have been filed in the past year against
+Added: companies who conduct SMS texting programs, with many resulting in multimillion-dollar settlements to the plaintiffs.
+Added: future such litigation against DocGo could be costly and time-consuming to defend.
+Added: failure to comply with HIPAA or similar laws and regulations and the consequences of such non-compliance could have a material
+Added: adverse impact on DocGo’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: DocGo does not effectively adapt to changes in the healthcare industry, including changes to laws and regulations regarding telehealth,
+Added: DocGo’s business may be harmed.
+Added: unpredictability of the healthcare regulatory landscape means that sudden changes in laws, rules, regulations and policy are possible.
+Added: Federal, state and local legislative bodies frequently pass legislation and promulgate regulations that affect the healthcare
+Added: As has been the trend in the past decade with healthcare reform, it is reasonable to assume that there will continue
+Added: to be increased government oversight and regulation of the healthcare industry in the future, particularly in times of changing
+Added: political, regulatory and other influences.
+Added: DocGo cannot provide any assurances regarding the ultimate content, timing or effect
+Added: of any new healthcare legislation or regulations, nor is it possible at this time to estimate the impact of potential new legislation
+Added: or regulations on its business.
+Added: It is possible that future legislation enacted by Congress or state legislatures, or regulations
+Added: promulgated by regulatory authorities at the federal or state level, could adversely affect DocGo’s current or future business.
+Added: The extent to which a jurisdiction considers particular actions or relationships to comply with the applicable legal requirements
+Added: is also subject to evolving interpretations by medical boards and state attorneys general, among others, each with broad discretion.
+Added: It is possible that the changes to the Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental healthcare program reimbursements may serve as
+Added: precedent to possible changes in other payors’ reimbursement policies in a manner adverse to DocGo.
+Added: Similarly, changes in
+Added: private payor reimbursements could lead to adverse changes in Medicare, Medicaid and other governmental healthcare programs.
+Added: one example, the telehealth industry is still relatively young and DocGo’s ability to provide its telehealth solutions is
+Added: directly dependent upon the development and interpretation of the laws governing remote healthcare, the practice of medicine and
+Added: healthcare delivery in the applicable jurisdictions and more broadly.
+Added: A few states have imposed different, and, in some cases,
+Added: additional, standards regarding the provision of services via telehealth.
+Added: State medical boards have also established new rules
+Added: or interpreted existing rules in their respective states in a manner that has limited the way telehealth services can be provided.
+Added: Although the COVID-19 pandemic has led to the relaxation of certain Medicare, Medicaid and state licensure restrictions on
+Added: the delivery of telehealth services, it is uncertain how long the relaxed policies will remain in effect, and there can be no
+Added: guarantee that once the COVID-19 pandemic subsides or ends that such restrictions will not be reinstated or changed in a
+Added: way that adversely affects DocGo’s current or future telehealth offerings.
+Added: DocGo must monitor its compliance with law in every jurisdiction in which it operates, on an ongoing basis.
+Added: While DocGo believes
+Added: that it has structured its contracts and operations in material compliance with applicable healthcare laws and regulations, the
+Added: healthcare laws and regulations applicable to DocGo may be amended or interpreted in new or different ways that are adverse to
+Added: DocGo and new laws and regulations adverse to DocGo’s current or future business may be adopted in the future.
+Added: be no assurance that DocGo will be able to successfully address changes in the current regulatory environment or new laws and
+Added: regulations that may be implemented in the future, or that practices which are compliant now will continue to be so in the future.
+Added: Any failure to comply with any changes to or new developments in the healthcare regulatory environment could have a material adverse
+Added: effect on DocGo’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: must be properly enrolled in governmental healthcare programs before it can receive reimbursement for services, and there may
+Added: be delays in the enrollment process.
+Added: time DocGo expands into a new market, whether organically or by way of acquisition, DocGo must enroll the new operations under
+Added: DocGo’s applicable group identification number for Medicare and Medicaid programs and for certain managed care and private
+Added: insurance programs before DocGo can receive reimbursement for services rendered to beneficiaries of those programs.
+Added: The estimated
+Added: time to receive approval for the enrollment is sometimes difficult to predict.
+Added: respect to Medicare, providers can retrospectively bill Medicare for services provided 30 days prior to the effective date
+Added: of the enrollment.
+Added: In addition, the enrollment rules provide that the effective date of the enrollment will be the later of the
+Added: date on which the enrollment application was filed and approved by the Medicare contractor, or the date on which the provider
+Added: began providing services.
+Added: If DocGo is unable to complete the enrollment process within the 30 days after the commencement
+Added: of services, DocGo will be precluded from billing Medicare for any services which were provided to a Medicare beneficiary more
+Added: than 30 days prior to the effective date of the enrollment.
+Added: With respect to Medicaid, new enrollment rules and whether a
+Added: state will allow providers to retrospectively bill Medicaid for services provided prior to submitting an enrollment application
+Added: varies by state.
+Added: Failure to timely enroll could reduce DocGo’s total revenues and have a material adverse effect on the
+Added: business, financial condition or results of operations.
+Added: Affordable Care Act, as currently structured, added additional enrollment requirements for Medicare and Medicaid, which have been
+Added: further enhanced through implementing regulations and increased enforcement scrutiny.
+Added: Every enrolled provider must revalidate
+Added: its enrollment at regular intervals and must update the Medicare contractors and many state Medicaid programs with significant
+Added: changes on a timely basis.
+Added: If DocGo fails to provide sufficient documentation as required to maintain its enrollment, Medicare
+Added: and Medicaid could deny continued future enrollment or revoke DocGo’s enrollment and billing privileges.
+Added: requirements for enrollment, licensure, certification and accreditation may include notification or approval in the event of a
+Added: transfer or change of ownership or certain other changes.
+Added: Other agencies or payors with which DocGo has contracts may have similar
+Added: requirements, and some of these processes may be complex.
+Added: Failure to provide required notifications or obtain necessary approvals
+Added: may result in the delay or inability to complete an acquisition or transfer, loss of licensure, lapses in reimbursement or other
+Added: While DocGo makes reasonable efforts to substantially comply with these requirements, it cannot assure you that the
+Added: agencies that administer these programs or have awarded DocGo contracts will not find that DocGo has failed to comply in some
+Added: material respects.
+Added: A finding of non-compliance and any resulting payment delays, refund demands or other sanctions could
+Added: have a material adverse effect on DocGo’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
+Added: in Medicare reimbursement rates or changes in the rules governing the Medicare program could have a material adverse effect on
+Added: generates a significant amount of revenues from Medicare, either directly or through Medicare Advantage (“MA”) plans,
+Added: particularly in its healthcare transportation segment.
+Added: Medicare revenues represent approximately 22.4% and 6.4% of DocGo’s
+Added: revenues for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively.
+Added: In addition, many private payors base their reimbursement
+Added: rates on the published Medicare rates or are themselves reimbursed by Medicare for the services DocGo provides.
+Added: As a result, DocGo’s
+Added: results of operations are, in part, dependent on government funding levels for Medicare programs and any changes that limit or
+Added: reduce MA or general Medicare reimbursement levels, such as reductions in or limitations of reimbursement amounts or rates under
+Added: programs, reductions in funding of programs, expansion of benefits without adequate funding or elimination of coverage for certain
+Added: benefits or for certain individuals, could have a material adverse effect on DocGo’s business, financial condition and results
+Added: of operations.
+Added: Medicare program and its reimbursement rates and rules are subject to frequent change.
+Added: These include statutory and regulatory
+Added: changes, rate adjustments (including retroactive adjustments), administrative or executive orders and government funding restrictions,
+Added: all of which may materially adversely affect the rates at which Medicare reimburses DocGo for its services.
+Added: Budget pressures often
+Added: cause the federal government to reduce or place limits on reimbursement rates under Medicare.
+Added: Implementation of these and other
+Added: types of measures could result in substantial reductions in DocGo’s revenues and operating margins.
+Added: For example, due to
+Added: the federal sequestration, an automatic 2% reduction in Medicare spending took effect beginning in April 2013.
+Added: Act, which was signed into law on March 27, 2020, designed to provide financial support and resources to individuals and
+Added: businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, temporarily suspended these reductions from May 1, 2020 through March 31,
+Added: 2021, and extended the sequester by one year, through 2030.
+Added: year, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) issues a final rule to establish the MA benchmark payment
+Added: rates for the following calendar year.
+Added: Reductions to MA rates impacting DocGo may be greater than the industry average rate and
+Added: the final impact of the MA rates can vary from any estimate DocGo may have.
+Added: In addition, CMS may change the rules governing the
+Added: Medicare program, including those governing reimbursement.
+Added: Reductions in reimbursement rates or the scope of services being reimbursed
+Added: could have a material adverse effect on DocGo’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: and federal efforts to reduce Medicaid spending could adversely affect DocGo.
+Added: of DocGo’s customers who are individuals are dual-eligible, meaning their coverage comes from both Medicare and Medicaid.
+Added: As a result, a small portion of DocGo’s revenue comes from Medicaid, accounting for approximately 4.8% and 1.4% of revenue
+Added: for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively.
+Added: Medicaid is a joint federal-state program purchasing
+Added: healthcare services for the low income and indigent as well as certain higher income individuals with significant health needs.
+Added: Under broad federal criteria, states establish rules for eligibility, services and payment.
+Added: Medicaid is a state-administered program
+Added: financed by both state funds and matching federal funds.
+Added: Medicaid spending has increased rapidly in recent years, becoming
+Added: a significant component of state budgets.
+Added: This, combined with slower state revenue growth, has led both the federal government
+Added: and many states to institute measures aimed at controlling the growth of Medicaid spending, and in some instances reducing aggregate
+Added: Medicaid spending.
+Added: example, a number of states have adopted or are considering legislation designed to reduce their Medicaid expenditures, such as
+Added: financial arrangements commonly referred to as provider taxes.
+Added: Under provider tax arrangements, states collect taxes from healthcare
+Added: providers and then use the revenue to pay the providers as a Medicaid expenditure, which allows the states to then claim additional
+Added: federal matching funds on the additional reimbursements.
+Added: Current federal law provides for a cap on the maximum allowable provider
+Added: tax as a percentage of the provider’s total revenue.
+Added: There can be no assurance that federal law will continue to provide
+Added: matching federal funds on state Medicaid expenditures funded through provider taxes, or that the current caps on provider taxes
+Added: will not be reduced.
+Added: Any discontinuance or reduction in federal matching of provider tax-related Medicaid expenditures could
+Added: have a significant and adverse effect on states’ Medicaid expenditures, and as a result could have an adverse effect on
+Added: DocGo’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: as part of the movement to repeal, replace or modify the Health Care Reform Law and as a means to reduce the federal budget deficit,
+Added: there are renewed congressional efforts to move Medicaid from an open-ended program with coverage and benefits set by the
+Added: federal government to one in which states receive a fixed amount of federal funds, either through block grants or per capita caps,
+Added: and have more flexibility to determine benefits, eligibility or provider payments.
+Added: If those changes are implemented, DocGo cannot
+Added: predict whether the amount of fixed federal funding to the states will be based on current payment amounts, or if it will be based
+Added: on lower payment amounts, which would negatively impact those states that expanded their Medicaid programs in response to the
+Added: Health Care Reform Law.
+Added: expects these state and federal efforts to continue for the foreseeable future.
+Added: The Medicaid program and its reimbursement rates
+Added: and rules are subject to frequent change at both the federal and state level.
+Added: These include statutory and regulatory changes,
+Added: rate adjustments (including retroactive adjustments), administrative or executive orders and government funding restrictions,
+Added: all of which may materially adversely affect the rates at which DocGo’s services are reimbursed by state Medicaid plans.
+Added: has been and could become the subject of federal and state investigations and compliance reviews.
+Added: in the broader healthcare industry are subject to a high level of scrutiny by various governmental agencies and their agents.
+Added: Both federal and state government agencies have heightened and coordinated civil and criminal enforcement efforts as part of numerous
+Added: ongoing investigations of healthcare companies, as well as their executives and managers.
+Added: These investigations relate to a wide
+Added: variety of topics, including referral and billing practices.
+Added: For example, to enforce compliance with the federal laws, DOJ and
+Added: the OIG have established national enforcement initiatives that focus on specific billing practices or other suspected areas of
+Added: Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, it is expected that the government will continue to devote
+Added: substantial resources to investigating healthcare providers’ compliance, including compliance with the healthcare reimbursement
+Added: rules and fraud and abuse laws.
+Added: DocGo is also required to conduct periodic internal audits in connection with its third-party relationships
+Added: and receives repayment demands from third-party payors based on allegations that its services were not medically necessary,
+Added: were billed at an improper level or otherwise violated applicable billing requirements that require investigation.
+Added: Further, DocGo
+Added: periodically conducts internal reviews of its regulatory compliance.
+Added: Although to date none historically have, an investigation
+Added: or audit of DocGo, its executives or its managers, whether by the government and its agents, a third-party or DocGo itself,
+Added: could result in significant expense to the company, adverse publicity and divert management’s attention from DocGo’s
+Added: business, regardless of the outcome, and could result in significant fines, penalties and other sanctions, any of which could
+Added: have a material adverse effect on DocGo’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: business practices may be found to constitute illegal fee-splitting or corporate practice of medicine, which may lead to penalties
+Added: and could adversely affect DocGo’s business.
+Added: states have laws that prohibit business corporations such as DocGo from practicing medicine, employing physicians, exercising
+Added: control over medical judgments or decisions of physicians or other health care professionals (such as EMTs and nurses), or engaging
+Added: in certain business arrangements such as fee-splitting, with each of the foregoing activities collectively referred to as the
+Added: “corporate practice of medicine.” In some states these prohibitions are expressly stated in a statute or regulation,
+Added: while in other states the prohibition is a matter of judicial or regulatory interpretation.
+Added: Many of the states in which DocGo
+Added: currently operates generally prohibit the corporate practice of medicine, and other states may as well, including those into which
+Added: DocGo may expand in the future.
+Added: state laws and regulations and administrative and judicial decisions that enumerate the specific corporate practice of medicine
+Added: rules vary considerably from state to state and have been subject to limited judicial or regulatory interpretations.
+Added: and regulations are enforced by both the courts and government agencies, each with broad discretion.
+Added: Courts, government agencies
+Added: or other parties, including physicians, may assert that DocGo is engaged in the unlawful corporate practice of medicine.
+Added: penalties for violations of the corporate practice of medicine vary from state to state, as a result of such allegations, DocGo
+Added: could be subject to civil and criminal penalties, its contracts could be found legally invalid and unenforceable, in whole or
+Added: in part, or DocGo could be required to restructure its contractual arrangements entirely.
+Added: If found to be engaged in the corporate
+Added: practice of medicine, DocGo may not be able to restructure its operations or its contractual arrangements on favorable terms or
+Added: Any failure to comply with these laws and regulations regarding the corporate practice of medicine and the consequences
+Added: of such non-compliance could have a material adverse impact on DocGo’s business, financial condition and results of
+Added: believes its business is structured to comply with the applicable regulations governing fee-splitting and the corporate practice
+Added: of medicine in the states where it generates revenue;
+Added: however, in many cases and as noted above, these laws and regulations applicable
+Added: to DocGo are subject to limited or evolving interpretations, and there can be no assurances that a review of DocGo’s business
+Added: or operations by a court, law enforcement or a regulatory authority might result in a determination of non-compliance.
+Added: Risks Relating to Ownership of Common Stock and Warrants
+Added: may delist DocGo’s securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions
+Added: in its securities and subject DocGo to additional trading restrictions.
+Added: Stock and Public Warrants are listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “DCGO” and “DCGOW,” respectively.
+Added: will be required to meet continued listing requirements for its securities to continue to be listed on Nasdaq, including having
+Added: a minimum number of public securities holders and a minimum stock price.
+Added: We cannot assure you that DocGo will continue to meet
+Added: those listing requirements in the future.
+Added: Nasdaq delists DocGo’s securities from trading on its exchange and DocGo is not able to list its securities on another national
+Added: securities exchange, we expect our securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market.
+Added: If this were to occur, we could
+Added: face significant material adverse consequences, including:
limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
liquidity for our securities;
−Removed: determination that our Class A common stock is a “penny stock”
−Removed: which will require brokers trading in our Class A
−Removed: common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading
−Removed: market for our securities;
+Added: determination that the Common Stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in Common Stock to adhere to more
+Added: stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;
limited amount of news and analyst coverage;
decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
−Removed: National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating
−Removed: the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.”
−Removed: Our units, Class A common stock and
−Removed: warrants, are covered securities.
−Removed: Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of covered securities, the federal
−Removed: statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent
−Removed: activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case.
−Removed: Further, if we were no longer
−Removed: listed on Nasdaq, our securities would not qualify as covered securities under such statute and we would be subject to regulation
−Removed: in each state in which we offer our securities.
−Removed: stockholders are not entitled to protections normally afforded to investors of many other blank check companies.
−Removed: are a “blank check”
−Removed: company under the U.S.
−Removed: securities laws.
−Removed: However, because we have net tangible assets in excess
−Removed: of $5,000,000, we are exempt from rules promulgated by the SEC to protect investors in blank check companies, such as Rule 419.
−Removed: Accordingly, investors are not afforded the benefits or protections of those rules.
−Removed: Among other things, this means we will have
−Removed: a longer period of time to complete our initial business combination than companies subject to Rule 419.
−Removed: Moreover, if our Initial
−Removed: Public Offering had been subject to Rule 419, that rule would prohibit the release of any interest earned on funds held in the
−Removed: Trust Account to us unless and until the funds in the Trust Account were released to us in connection with our completion of an
−Removed: initial business combination.
−Removed: third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount
−Removed: received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share.
−Removed: placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against us.
−Removed: Although we seek to have
−Removed: all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements
−Removed: with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit
−Removed: of our public stockholders, such parties may not execute such agreements, or even if they execute such agreements, they may not
−Removed: be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary
−Removed: responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order
−Removed: to gain advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account.
−Removed: If any third party
−Removed: refuses to enter into an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, the Company’s management
−Removed: will consider whether competitive alternatives are reasonably available to the Company, and will only enter into an agreement
−Removed: with such third party if the Company’s management believes that such third party’s engagement would be in the best
−Removed: interests of the Company under the circumstances.
−Removed: WithumSmith+Brown P.C., our independent registered public accounting firm, and
−Removed: the underwriter of our Initial Public Offering, have not executed agreements with us waiving such claims to the monies held in
−Removed: the Trust Account.
−Removed: of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party
−Removed: consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants
−Removed: that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver.
−Removed: In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of,
−Removed: or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for
−Removed: Upon redemption of our Public Shares, if we are unable to complete our initial business combination by October 19,
−Removed: 2022, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with our initial business combination, we will be required to provide
−Removed: for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the 10 years following redemption.
−Removed: Accordingly, the per-share redemption amount received by public stockholders could be less than the $10.00 per share initially
−Removed: held in the Trust Account, due to claims of such creditors.
−Removed: Our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the
−Removed: extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or by a prospective target business with which
−Removed: we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per
−Removed: public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the
−Removed: Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn
−Removed: to pay taxes.
−Removed: This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights
−Removed: to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriter of our Initial Public Offering
−Removed: against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
−Removed: Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is
−Removed: deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, then our Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for
−Removed: such third-party claims.
−Removed: We have not independently verified whether our Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity
−Removed: obligations and believe that our Sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company.
−Removed: We have not asked our Sponsor to reserve
−Removed: for such indemnification obligations.
−Removed: Therefore, we believe it is unlikely our Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.
−Removed: As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for our initial business
−Removed: combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per public share.
−Removed: In such event, we may not be able to complete
−Removed: our initial business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per public share in connection with any redemption
−Removed: of your Public Shares.
−Removed: None of our officers will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims
−Removed: by vendors and prospective target businesses.
−Removed: stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption
−Removed: of their shares.
−Removed: the Delaware General Corporations Law (“DGCL’), stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against
−Removed: a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution.
−Removed: The pro rata portion of our trust account distributed
−Removed: to our public stockholders upon the redemption of our Public Shares in the event we do not complete our initial business combination
−Removed: within the allotted time period may be considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law.
−Removed: If a corporation complies with
−Removed: certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims
−Removed: against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day
−Removed: period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating
−Removed: distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to
−Removed: the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability
−Removed: of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.
−Removed: However, it is our intention to redeem our
−Removed: Public Shares as soon as reasonably possible following the 24th month from the closing of our Initial Public Offering (or the
−Removed: end of any Extension Period) in the event we do not complete our initial business combination and, therefore, we do not intend
−Removed: to comply with the foregoing procedures.
−Removed: we will not be complying with Section 280, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires us to adopt a plan, based on facts known
−Removed: to us at such time that will provide for our payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought
−Removed: against us within the 10 years following our dissolution.
−Removed: However, because we are a blank check company, rather than an operating
−Removed: company, and our operations will be limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims
−Removed: to arise would be from our vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, etc.) or prospective target businesses.
−Removed: If our plan of
−Removed: distribution complies with Section 281(b) of the DGCL, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution
−Removed: is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder,
−Removed: and any liability of the stockholder would likely be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.
−Removed: We cannot assure you
−Removed: that we will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us.
−Removed: As such, our stockholders could potentially
−Removed: be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of our stockholders may
−Removed: extend beyond the third anniversary of such date.
−Removed: Furthermore, if the pro rata portion of our trust account distributed to our
−Removed: public stockholders upon the redemption of our Public Shares in the event we do not complete our initial business combination
−Removed: within the allotted time period is not considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution
−Removed: is deemed to be unlawful, then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could
−Removed: then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidating distribution.
−Removed: directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of our Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of
−Removed: funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to our public stockholders.
−Removed: the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per share and (ii) the actual
−Removed: amount per share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per share
−Removed: due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest, which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and
−Removed: our Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular
−Removed: claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification
−Removed: we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification
−Removed: obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors, in exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary
−Removed: duties, may choose not to do so in any particular instance if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent
−Removed: directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome
−Removed: is not likely.
−Removed: If our independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the
−Removed: Trust Account available for distribution to our public stockholders may be reduced below $10.00 per share.
−Removed: may not have sufficient funds to satisfy indemnification claims of our directors and executive officers.
−Removed: have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.
−Removed: However, our officers and directors
−Removed: have agreed to waive (and any other persons who may become an officer or director prior to the initial business combination will
−Removed: also be required to waive) any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account and not to
−Removed: seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever.
−Removed: Accordingly, any indemnification provided will be able to be
−Removed: satisfied by us only if  (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the Trust Account or (ii) we consummate an initial
−Removed: business combination.
−Removed: Our obligation to indemnify our officers and directors may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit
−Removed: against our officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty.
−Removed: These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the
−Removed: likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise
−Removed: benefit us and our stockholders.
−Removed: Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay
−Removed: the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
−Removed: after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary
−Removed: bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and we and
−Removed: our board of directors may be exposed to claims of punitive damages.
−Removed: after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary
−Removed: bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under
−Removed: applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer”
−Removed: or a “fraudulent conveyance.”
−Removed: As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our stockholders.
−Removed: In addition, our board
−Removed: of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or having acted in bad faith, thereby exposing
−Removed: itself and us to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims
−Removed: of creditors.
−Removed: before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary
−Removed: bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over
−Removed: the claims of our stockholders and the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our stockholders in connection with
−Removed: our liquidation may be reduced.
−Removed: before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary
−Removed: bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable
−Removed: bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the
−Removed: claims of our stockholders.
−Removed: To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, the per-share amount that would otherwise
−Removed: be received by our stockholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.
−Removed: may not hold an annual meeting of stockholders until after the consummation of our initial business combination, which could delay
−Removed: the opportunity for our stockholders to elect directors.
−Removed: accordance with Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual meeting until one year after our
−Removed: first fiscal year end following our listing on Nasdaq.
−Removed: Under Section 211(b) of the DGCL, we are, however, required to hold
−Removed: an annual meeting of stockholders for the purposes of electing directors in accordance with our bylaws unless such election is
−Removed: made by written consent in lieu of such a meeting.
−Removed: We may not hold an annual meeting of stockholders to elect new directors prior
−Removed: to the consummation of our initial business combination, and thus we may not be in compliance with Section 211(b) of the
−Removed: DGCL, which requires an annual meeting.
−Removed: Therefore, if our stockholders want us to hold an annual meeting prior to the consummation
−Removed: of our initial business combination, they may attempt to force us to hold one by submitting an application to the Delaware Court
−Removed: of Chancery in accordance with Section 211(c) of the DGCL.
−Removed: grant of registration rights to our Sponsor may make it more difficult to complete our initial business combination, and the future
−Removed: exercise of such rights may adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock.
−Removed: to a registration rights agreement entered into concurrently with our Initial Public Offering, our Sponsor and its permitted transferees
−Removed: can demand that we register the resale of private placement warrants, the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise
−Removed: of the Founder Shares and the private placement warrants held, or to be held, by them and holders of warrants that may be issued
−Removed: upon conversion of working capital loans may demand that we register the resale of such warrants or the Class A common stock issuable
−Removed: upon exercise of such warrants.
−Removed: We will bear the cost of registering these securities.
−Removed: The registration and availability of such
−Removed: a significant number of securities for trading in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Class
−Removed: A common stock.
−Removed: In addition, the existence of the registration rights may make our initial business combination more costly or
−Removed: difficult to conclude.
−Removed: This is because the stockholders of the target business may increase the equity stake they seek in the
−Removed: combined entity or ask for more cash consideration to offset the negative impact on the market price of our Class A common stock
−Removed: that is expected when the securities owned by our Sponsor or holders of working capital loans or their respective permitted transferees
−Removed: are registered for resale.
−Removed: order to complete our initial business combination, we may seek to amend our certificate of incorporation or other governing instruments,
−Removed: including our warrant agreement, in a manner that will make it easier for us to complete our initial business combination but
−Removed: that our stockholders or warrant holders may not support.
−Removed: order to complete a business combination, blank check companies have, in the recent past, amended various provisions of their
−Removed: charters and governing instruments, including their warrant agreements.
−Removed: For example, blank check companies have amended the definition
−Removed: of business combination, increased redemption thresholds, extended the time to consummate an initial business combination and,
−Removed: with respect to their warrants, amended their warrant agreements to require the warrants to be exchanged for cash and/or other
−Removed: We cannot assure you that we will not seek to amend our certificate of incorporation or other governing instruments,
−Removed: including to extend the time we have to consummate an initial business combination in order to complete our initial business combination.
−Removed: provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation that relate to our pre-business combination activity (and
−Removed: corresponding provisions of the agreement governing the release of funds from our trust account) may be amended with the approval
−Removed: of holders of at least 65% of our outstanding common stock, which is a lower amendment threshold than that of some other blank
−Removed: check companies.
−Removed: It may be easier for us, therefore, to amend our certificate of incorporation and the trust agreement to facilitate
−Removed: the completion of an initial business combination that some of our stockholders may not support.
−Removed: other blank check companies have a provision in their charter which prohibits the amendment of certain of its provisions, including
−Removed: those which relate to a company’s pre-business combination activity, without approval by holders of a certain percentage
−Removed: of the company’s stockholders.
−Removed: In those companies, amendment of these provisions typically requires approval by holders
−Removed: holding between 90% and 100% of the company’s Public Shares.
−Removed: Our certificate of incorporation will provide that any of its
−Removed: provisions related to pre-business combination activity (including the requirement to deposit proceeds of our Initial Public Offering
−Removed: and the sale of the private placement warrants into the trust account and not release such amounts except in specified circumstances,
−Removed: and to provide redemption rights to public stockholders as described herein) may be amended if approved by holders of at least
−Removed: 65% of our outstanding common stock entitled to vote thereon, and corresponding provisions of the trust agreement governing the
−Removed: release of funds from our trust account may be amended if approved by holders of at least 65% of our outstanding common stock
−Removed: entitled to vote thereon.
−Removed: In all other instances, our certificate of incorporation may be amended by holders of a majority of
−Removed: our outstanding common stock entitled to vote thereon, subject to applicable provisions of the DGCL or applicable stock exchange
−Removed: We may not issue additional securities that would entitle the holders thereof, prior to our initial business combination,
−Removed: to (1) receive funds from the trust account or (2) vote as a class with our Public Shares (a) on any initial business
−Removed: combination or (b) to approve an amendment to our certificate of incorporation.
−Removed: Our Sponsor, which owns, on behalf of our
−Removed: officers, directors and their affiliates, 20.0% of our outstanding common stock, may participate in any vote to amend our certificate
−Removed: of incorporation and/or trust agreement and will have the discretion to vote in any manner it chooses.
−Removed: As a result, we may be
−Removed: able to amend the provisions of our certificate of incorporation which will govern our pre-business combination behavior more
−Removed: easily than some other blank check companies, and this may increase our ability to complete our initial business combination with
−Removed: which you do not agree.
−Removed: Our stockholders may pursue remedies against us for any breach of our certificate of incorporation.
−Removed: will not propose any amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing
−Removed: of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or certain amendments to our certificate
−Removed: of incorporation or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months
−Removed: from the closing of our Initial Public Offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’
−Removed: rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless we provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem
−Removed: their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then
−Removed: on deposit in the trust account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then
−Removed: outstanding Public Shares.
−Removed: Our stockholders are not parties to, or third-party beneficiaries of, these agreements and, as a result,
−Removed: will not have the ability to pursue remedies against our Sponsor, officers or directors for any breach of these agreements.
−Removed: a result, in the event of a breach, our public stockholders would need to pursue a stockholder derivative action, subject to applicable
−Removed: warrants and Founder Shares may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Class A common stock and make it more difficult
−Removed: to complete our initial business combination.
−Removed: issued warrants to purchase 3,833,333 shares of our Class A common stock as part of the units offered in our Initial Public Offering,
−Removed: and we issued 2,533,333 in Private Placement Warrants in a private placement.
−Removed: Each warrant is exercisable to purchase one share
−Removed: of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share.
−Removed: Further, our Sponsor, on behalf of our officers, directors and their affiliates,
−Removed: owns an aggregate of 2,875,000 Founder Shares.
−Removed: The Founder Shares are convertible into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one
−Removed: basis, subject to adjustment as set forth herein.
−Removed: In addition, if our Sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates make any
−Removed: working capital loans, and except as may be precluded by the terms of a business combination definitive agreement, up to $1,500,000
−Removed: of such loans may be convertible into warrants, at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender.
−Removed: The warrants would
−Removed: be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period.
−Removed: the extent we issue shares of Class A common stock to complete a business combination, the potential for the issuance of
−Removed: a substantial number of additional shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of these warrants and conversion rights could
−Removed: make us a less attractive acquisition vehicle to a target business.
−Removed: Any such issuance will increase the number of issued and outstanding
−Removed: shares of our Class A common stock and reduce the value of the shares of Class A common stock issued to complete the
−Removed: business combination.
−Removed: Therefore, our warrants and Founder Shares may make it more difficult to complete a business combination
−Removed: or increase the cost of acquiring the target business.
−Removed: Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the units in our Initial Public Offering except that,
−Removed: so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, (i) except in certain circumstances, they
−Removed: will not be redeemable by us, (ii) they (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants)
−Removed: may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold until 30 days after the completion of our
−Removed: initial business combination, (iii) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis and (iv) the holders thereof
−Removed: (including with respect to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants) are entitled to registration rights.
−Removed: In addition, the Private Placement Warrants will not vote on any amendments to the warrant agreement.
−Removed: each unit contains one-third of one redeemable warrant and only a whole warrant may be exercised, the units may be worth less
−Removed: than units of other blank check companies.
−Removed: unit contains one-third of one warrant.
−Removed: Because, pursuant to the warrant agreement, the warrants may only be exercised for a whole
−Removed: number of shares, only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time.
−Removed: This is different from other offerings similar to ours
−Removed: whose units include one share of common stock and one whole warrant to purchase one whole share.
−Removed: We have established the components
−Removed: of the units in this way in order to reduce the dilutive effect of the warrants upon completion of a business combination since
−Removed: the warrants will be exercisable in the aggregate for one third of the number of shares compared to units that each contain a
−Removed: warrant to purchase one whole share, thus making us, we believe, a more attractive business combination partner for target businesses.
−Removed: Nevertheless, this unit structure may cause our units to be worth less than if they included a warrant to purchase one whole share.
−Removed: are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure
−Removed: requirements available to emerging growth companies, this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make
−Removed: it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.
−Removed: are an “emerging growth company”
−Removed: within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart our Business
−Removed: Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”), and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements
−Removed: that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being
−Removed: required to comply with the auditor internal controls attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced
−Removed: disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the
−Removed: requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute
−Removed: payments not previously approved.
−Removed: As a result, our stockholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important.
−Removed: We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier,
−Removed: including if the market value of our Class A common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before
−Removed: that time, in which case we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31.
−Removed: We cannot predict whether
−Removed: investors will find our securities less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions.
−Removed: If some investors find our securities
−Removed: less attractive as a result of our reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of our securities may be lower than they otherwise
−Removed: would be, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the trading prices of our securities may be more volatile.
−Removed: Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial
−Removed: accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared
−Removed: effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised
−Removed: financial accounting standards.
−Removed: The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and
−Removed: comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable.
−Removed: have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has
−Removed: different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard
−Removed: at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
−Removed: may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an
−Removed: emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential
−Removed: differences in accounting standards used.
−Removed: obligations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may make it more difficult for us to complete our initial business combination, require
−Removed: substantial financial and management resources, and increase the time and costs of completing an initial business combination.
−Removed: 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we evaluate and report on our system of internal controls beginning with our Annual
−Removed: Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2021.
−Removed: Only in the event we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or
−Removed: an accelerated filer, and no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, will we be required to comply with the independent
−Removed: registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on our internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: Further, for as long
−Removed: as we remain an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm
−Removed: attestation requirement on our internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: The fact that we are a blank check company makes compliance
−Removed: with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act particularly burdensome on us as compared to other public companies because a
−Removed: target company with which we seek to complete our initial business combination may not be in compliance with the provisions of
−Removed: the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of its internal controls.
−Removed: The development of the internal control of any such entity
−Removed: to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary to complete any such business combination.
−Removed: in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and Delaware law may inhibit a takeover of us, which could limit the
−Removed: price investors might be willing to pay in the future for our Class A common stock and could entrench management.
−Removed: amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that
−Removed: stockholders may consider to be in their best interests.
−Removed: These provisions include a staggered board of directors and the ability
−Removed: of the board of directors to designate the terms of and issue new series of preferred shares, which may make the removal of management
−Removed: more difficult and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices
−Removed: for our securities.
−Removed: are also subject to anti-takeover provisions under Delaware law, which could delay or prevent a change of control.
−Removed: Together these
−Removed: provisions may make the removal of management more difficult and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment
−Removed: of a premium over prevailing market prices for our securities.
−Removed: in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and Delaware law may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against
−Removed: our directors and officers.
−Removed: amended and restated certificate of incorporation requires, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought
−Removed: in our name, actions against directors, officers and employees for breach of fiduciary duty and other similar actions may be brought
−Removed: only in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing such suit
−Removed: will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel.
−Removed: This provision may have the effect
−Removed: of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers.
−Removed: incidents or attacks directed at us could result in information theft, data corruption, operational disruption and/or financial
−Removed: depend on digital technologies, including information systems, infrastructure and cloud applications and services, including those
−Removed: of third parties with which we may deal.
−Removed: Sophisticated and deliberate attacks on, or security breaches in, our systems or infrastructure,
−Removed: or the systems or infrastructure of third parties or the cloud, could lead to corruption or misappropriation of our assets, proprietary
−Removed: information and sensitive or confidential data.
−Removed: As an early stage company without significant investments in data security protection,
−Removed: we may not be sufficiently protected against such occurrences.
−Removed: We may not have sufficient resources to adequately protect against,
−Removed: or to investigate and remediate any vulnerability to, cyber incidents.
−Removed: It is possible that any of these occurrences, or a combination
−Removed: of them, could have adverse consequences on our business and lead to financial loss.
−Removed: our securities may result in uncertain or adverse U.S.
−Removed: federal income tax consequences.
−Removed: our securities may result in uncertain U.S.
−Removed: federal income tax consequences.
−Removed: For instance, because there are no authorities that
−Removed: directly address instruments similar to the units we issued in our Initial Public Offering, the allocation an investor makes with
−Removed: respect to the purchase price of a unit between the share of Class A common stock and the one-third of one redeemable warrant
−Removed: to purchase one share of our Class A common stock included in each unit could be challenged by the U.S.
−Removed: Internal Revenue
−Removed: Service, or “IRS,”
−Removed: or the courts.
−Removed: Furthermore, the U.S.
−Removed: federal income tax consequences of a cashless exercise of
−Removed: the warrants included in the units we issued in our Initial Public Offering are unclear under current law, and the adjustment
−Removed: to the exercise price and/or redemption price of the warrants could give rise to dividend income to investors without a corresponding
−Removed: payment of cash.
−Removed: Finally, it is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to our shares of common stock suspend the running
−Removed: holder’s holding period for purposes of determining whether any gain or loss realized by such holder on the sale
−Removed: or exchange of common stock is long-term capital gain or loss and for determining whether any dividend we pay would be considered
−Removed: “qualified dividends”
−Removed: federal income tax purposes.
−Removed: Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors
−Removed: with respect to these and other tax consequences applicable to their specific circumstances when purchasing, holding or disposing
−Removed: of our securities.
−Removed: may be subject to an increased rate of tax on our income if we are treated as a personal holding company.
−Removed: on the date and size of our initial business combination, it is possible that we could be treated as a “personal holding
−Removed: company”
−Removed: federal income tax purposes.
−Removed: corporation generally will be classified as a personal holding company
−Removed: federal income tax purposes in a given taxable year if more than 50% of its ownership (by value) is concentrated, within
−Removed: a certain period of time, in five or fewer individuals (without regard to their citizenship or residency and including as individuals
−Removed: for this purpose certain entities such as certain tax-exempt organizations, pension funds, and charitable trusts), and at least
−Removed: 60% of its income is comprised of certain passive items.
−Removed: we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance
−Removed: requirements and our activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for us to complete our initial business combination.
−Removed: we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our activities may be restricted, including:
−Removed: ● restrictions
−Removed: on the nature of our investments;
−Removed: ● restrictions
−Removed: on the issuance of securities, each of which may make it difficult for us to complete our initial business combination.
−Removed: addition, we may have imposed upon us burdensome requirements, including:
−Removed: ● registration
−Removed: as an investment company with the SEC;
−Removed: of a specific form of corporate structure;
−Removed: record keeping, voting, proxy and disclosure requirements and compliance with other rules and regulations that we are currently
−Removed: not subject to.
−Removed: order not to be regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, unless we can qualify for an exclusion, we
−Removed: must ensure that we are engaged primarily in a business other than investing, reinvesting or trading in securities and that our
−Removed: activities do not include investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading “investment securities”
−Removed: more than 40% of our total assets (exclusive of U.S.
−Removed: government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis.
−Removed: is to identify and complete an initial business combination and thereafter to operate the post-transaction business or assets
−Removed: for the long term.
−Removed: We do not plan to buy businesses or assets with a view to resale or profit from their resale.
−Removed: We do not plan
−Removed: to buy unrelated businesses or assets or to be a passive investor.
−Removed: do not believe that our anticipated principal activities are subject to the Investment Company Act.
−Removed: To this end, the proceeds
−Removed: held in the Trust Account may only be invested in U.S.
−Removed: “government securities,”
−Removed: within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16)
−Removed: of the Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under
−Removed: Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S.
−Removed: government treasury obligations.
−Removed: to the trust agreement, the trustee is not permitted to invest in other securities or assets.
−Removed: By restricting the investment of
−Removed: the proceeds to these instruments, and by having a business plan targeted at acquiring and growing businesses for the long term
−Removed: (rather than on buying and selling businesses in the manner of a merchant bank or private equity fund), we intend to avoid being
−Removed: deemed an “investment company”
−Removed: within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.
−Removed: Our securities are not intended for
−Removed: persons who are seeking a return on investments in government securities or investment securities.
−Removed: The Trust Account is intended
−Removed: as a holding place for funds pending the earliest to occur of:
−Removed: (i) the completion of our initial business combination;
−Removed: redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate
−Removed: of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete
−Removed: our initial business combination by October 19, 2022, or to provide for redemption in connection with a business combination;
−Removed: or (iii) absent an initial business combination by October 19, 2022, our return of the funds held in the Trust Account to our
−Removed: public stockholders as part of our redemption of the Public Shares.
−Removed: If we do not invest the proceeds as discussed above, we may
−Removed: be deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act.
−Removed: If we were deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act, compliance
−Removed: with these additional regulatory burdens would require additional expenses for which we have not allotted funds and may hinder
−Removed: our ability to complete an initial business combination or may result in our liquidation.
−Removed: If we are unable to complete our initial
−Removed: business combination, our public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share, or less in certain circumstances
−Removed: described herein, on the liquidation of our Trust Account and our warrants will expire worthless.
−Removed: in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, including our
−Removed: ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination and results of operations.
−Removed: are subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments.
−Removed: In particular, we are be required to
−Removed: comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements.
−Removed: Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may
−Removed: be difficult, time consuming and costly.
−Removed: laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a
−Removed: material adverse effect on our business, investments and results of operations.
−Removed: In addition, a failure to comply with applicable
−Removed: laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to
−Removed: negotiate and complete our initial business combination and results of operations.
+Added: National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from
+Added: regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Since Common Stock and Public
+Added: Warrants are listed on Nasdaq, they are covered securities.
+Added: Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of covered
+Added: securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and if there
+Added: is a finding of fraudulent activity, the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case.
+Added: DocGo is not aware of a state having used these powers to prohibit or restrict the sale of securities issued by blank check companies,
+Added: other than the State of Idaho, certain state securities regulators view blank check companies unfavorably and might use these
+Added: powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities of blank check companies in their states.
+Added: DocGo was no longer listed on Nasdaq, its securities would not be covered securities and it would be subject to regulation in
+Added: each state in which it offers its securities.
+Added: active, liquid trading market for our securities may not develop, which may limit your ability to sell your securities.
+Added: active trading market for our securities may never develop or be sustained.
+Added: A public trading market having the desirable characteristics
+Added: of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends upon the existence of willing buyers and sellers at any given time, such existence
+Added: being dependent upon the individual decisions of buyers and sellers over which neither we nor any market maker has control.
+Added: failure of an active and liquid trading market to develop and continue would likely have a material adverse effect on the value
+Added: of our Common Stock and Warrants.
+Added: An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations
+Added: by issuing securities and may impair our ability to acquire other companies or technologies by using our securities as consideration.
+Added: there are no current plans to pay cash dividends on Common Stock for the foreseeable future, you may not receive any return on
+Added: investment unless you sell your Common Stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it.
+Added: intends to retain future earnings, if any, for future operations, expansion and debt repayment and there are no current plans to pay any
+Added: cash dividends for the foreseeable future.
+Added: The declaration, amount and payment of any future dividends on shares of Common Stock will
+Added: be at the sole discretion of DocGo’s board of directors.
+Added: DocGo’s board of directors may take into account general and economic
+Added: conditions, DocGo’s financial condition and results of operations, DocGo’s available cash and current and anticipated cash
+Added: needs, capital requirements, contractual, legal, tax, and regulatory restrictions, implications on the payment of dividends by DocGo to
+Added: its stockholders or by its subsidiaries to it and such other factors as DocGo’s board of directors may deem relevant.
+Added: DocGo’s ability to pay dividends is limited by covenants of DocGo’s existing and outstanding indebtedness and may be limited
+Added: by covenants of any future indebtedness DocGo incurs.
+Added: As a result, you may not receive any return on an investment in Common Stock unless
+Added: you sell Common Stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it.
+Added: securities analysts do not publish research or reports about DocGo’s business or if they downgrade the Common Stock or DocGo’s
+Added: sector, DocGo’s stock price and trading volume could decline.
+Added: trading market for Common Stock will rely in part on the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about
+Added: DocGo or its business.
+Added: DocGo will not control these analysts.
+Added: In addition, some financial analysts may have limited expertise
+Added: with DocGo’s model and operations.
+Added: Furthermore, if one or more of the analysts who do cover DocGo downgrade its stock or
+Added: industry, or the stock of any of its competitors, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about its business, the price
+Added: of Common Stock could decline.
+Added: If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of DocGo or fail to publish reports on it regularly,
+Added: DocGo could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause its stock price or trading volume to decline.
+Added: sales, or the perception of future sales, by DocGo or its stockholders in the public market could cause the market price for Common
+Added: Stock to decline.
+Added: sale of shares of Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing
+Added: market price of shares of Common Stock.
+Added: These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult
+Added: for DocGo to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that it deems appropriate.
+Added: holders of our Common Stock and Warrants have entered into the lock-up and escrow agreements in connection with the Business
+Added: The counterparties to these agreements may, in certain instances, without notice, release all or any portion of the
+Added: securities subject to these lock-up and escrow agreements.
+Added: See the section entitled “ Securities Eligible for Future
+Added: Sale ” for a description of these lock-up and escrow agreements.
+Added: Upon the expiration or waiver of the lock-ups and
+Added: escrows described above, shares held by the Sponsor and certain other stockholders of DocGo will be eligible for resale, subject
+Added: to volume, manner of sale and other limitations under Rule 144, when such rule becomes applicable to DocGo.
+Added: pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, the New Holders, Sponsor, and certain other stockholders have the right,
+Added: subject to certain conditions, to require DocGo to register the sale of their shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act.
+Added: By exercising their registration rights and selling a large number of shares, these stockholders could cause the prevailing market
+Added: price of Common Stock to decline.
+Added: The shares covered by the A&R Registration Rights Agreement represent approximately 15.7%
+Added: of outstanding Common Stock.
+Added: restrictions on resale end or if these stockholders exercise their registration rights, the market price of shares of Common Stock
+Added: could drop significantly if the holders of these shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.
+Added: factors could also make it more difficult for DocGo to raise additional funds through future offerings of DocGo’s shares
+Added: of Common Stock or other securities.
+Added: currently has an aggregate of 6,366,638 Warrants outstanding, which became exercisable on December 5, 2021, provided that there is an
+Added: effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and
+Added: a current prospectus relating to them is available.
+Added: DocGo has agreed to use reasonable best efforts to file such registration statement
+Added: within 15 business days and have it declared effective within 60 business days after the consummation of the Transactions.
+Added: issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants could result in dilution to DocGo’s stockholders.
+Added: In addition, the shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance
+Added: under DocGo’s equity incentive plans will become eligible for sale in the public market once those shares are issued, subject to
+Added: provisions relating to various vesting agreements, lock-up agreements and, in some cases, limitations on volume and manner of sale
+Added: applicable to affiliates under Rule 144, as applicable.
+Added: The number of shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under its
+Added: equity incentive plans, including Substitute Options, represents approximately 24.5% of outstanding Common Stock.
+Added: The compensation committee
+Added: of DocGo’s board of directors may determine the exact number of shares to be reserved for future issuance under its equity incentive
+Added: plans at its discretion.
+Added: DocGo has filed a Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register shares of Common Stock and securities
+Added: convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to DocGo’s equity incentive plan, and may file additional
+Added: registration statements on Form S-8 in the future.
+Added: Any such Form S-8 registration statements will automatically become effective
+Added: Accordingly, shares registered under such registration statements will be available for sale in the open market.
+Added: the future, DocGo may also issue its securities in connection with investments or acquisitions.
+Added: The amount of shares of Common
+Added: Stock issued in connection with an investment or acquisition could constitute a material portion of DocGo’s then-outstanding shares
+Added: of Common Stock.
+Added: Any issuance of additional securities in connection with investments or acquisitions may result in additional
+Added: dilution to DocGo’s stockholders.
+Added: Anti-takeover
+Added: provisions in DocGo’s organizational documents could delay or prevent a change of control.
+Added: provisions of the Charter and the Bylaws may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a merger, acquisition,
+Added: tender offer, takeover attempt or other change of control transaction that a stockholder might consider in its best interest,
+Added: including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by DocGo’s stockholders.
+Added: provisions provide for, among other things:
+Added: ability of DocGo’s board of directors to issue one or more series of preferred stock;
+Added: notice for nominations of directors by stockholders and for stockholders to include matters to be considered at DocGo’s annual
+Added: limitations on convening special stockholder meetings;
+Added: the ability of stockholders to act by written consent;
+Added: board of directors to have the express authority to make, alter or repeal the Bylaws.
+Added: anti-takeover provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire DocGo, even if the third party’s
+Added: offer may be considered beneficial by many of DocGo’s stockholders.
+Added: As a result, DocGo’s stockholders may be limited
+Added: in their ability to obtain a premium for their shares.
+Added: These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more
+Added: difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors of your choosing and to cause DocGo to take other corporate actions
+Added: See “ Description of Securities.
+Added: Charter designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions
+Added: and proceedings that may be initiated by stockholders, which could limit stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial
+Added: forum for disputes with DocGo or its directors, officers, employees or stockholders.
+Added: Charter provides that, unless DocGo, in writing, selects or consents to the selection of an alternative forum:
+Added: (a) the sole and exclusive
+Added: forum for any complaint asserting any internal corporate claims (as defined below), to the fullest extent permitted by law, and subject
+Added: to applicable jurisdictional requirements, is the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have,
+Added: or declines to accept, jurisdiction, another state court or a federal court located within the State of Delaware) and (b) the sole
+Added: and exclusive forum for any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, to the fullest extent permitted by
+Added: law, shall be the federal district courts of the United States of America;
+Added: provided however, these provisions will not apply to suits
+Added: brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act.
+Added: For purposes of this provision, internal corporate claims mean
+Added: claims, including claims in the right of the Corporation that are based upon a violation of a duty by a current or former director, officer,
+Added: employee or stockholder in such capacity, or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction upon the Court of Chancery.
+Added: Any person or entity
+Added: purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and
+Added: consented to the provisions of this Article.
+Added: a result, (1) derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of DocGo, (2) action asserting a claim of breach of
+Added: a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, stockholder or employee to DocGo or its stockholders, (3) action asserting
+Added: a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Charter or the Bylaws, or (4) action asserting a claim governed
+Added: by the internal affairs doctrine shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be exclusively brought in the Court of Chancery
+Added: of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have, or declines to accept, jurisdiction, another state court
+Added: or a federal court located within the State of Delaware).
+Added: Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest
+Added: in shares of DocGo’s capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of the Charter
+Added: described above.
+Added: This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that
+Added: it finds favorable for disputes with DocGo or its directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against
+Added: DocGo and its directors, officers and employees.
+Added: Alternatively, if a court were to find these provisions of the Charter inapplicable
+Added: to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, DocGo may incur additional costs
+Added: associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect DocGo’s business and financial
+Added: Charter provides that the exclusive forum provision is applicable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, subject to
+Added: certain exceptions.
+Added: Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to
+Added: enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.
+Added: As a result, the exclusive
+Added: forum provision does not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other
+Added: claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.
+Added: of stockholders, including the Sponsor, may engage in business activities which compete with DocGo or otherwise conflict with
+Added: DocGo’s interests.
+Added: Sponsor and its affiliates are in the business of making investments in companies and may from time to time acquire and hold interests
+Added: in businesses that compete directly or indirectly with DocGo.
+Added: The Charter provides that none of the Sponsor, any of its affiliates
+Added: or any director who is not employed by DocGo (including any non-employee director who serves as one of DocGo’s officers
+Added: in both his director and officer capacities) or his or her affiliates will have any duty to refrain from engaging, directly or
+Added: indirectly, in the same business activities or similar business activities or lines of business in which DocGo operates.
+Added: also may pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to DocGo’s business and, as a result, those acquisition
+Added: opportunities may not be available to DocGo.
+Added: may redeem your unexpired Warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your Warrants
+Added: has the ability to redeem outstanding Warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price
+Added: of $0.01 per Warrant, provided that the last reported sales price of Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted
+Added: for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day prior to the date
+Added: on which we send the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders.
+Added: If and when the Warrants become redeemable by DocGo, DocGo may
+Added: not exercise its redemption right if the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants is not exempt from registration
+Added: or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or it is unable to effect such registration or qualification.
+Added: use its best efforts to register or qualify such shares of Common Stock under the blue sky laws of the state of residence in those
+Added: states in which the Warrants were offered.
+Added: Redemption of the outstanding Warrants could force you (i) to exercise your Warrants
+Added: and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so, (ii) to sell your Warrants
+Added: at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your Warrants or (iii) to accept the nominal
+Added: redemption price which, at the time the outstanding Warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than
+Added: the market value of your Warrants.
+Added: None of the Private Warrants will be redeemable by DocGo so long as they are held by the Sponsor,
+Added: or its permitted transferees.
+Added: Warrants are exercisable
+Added: for Common Stock, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to
+Added: our stockholders.
+Added: currently has an aggregate of 6,366,638 Warrants outstanding, representing the right to purchase an equivalent amount shares of Common
+Added: The Warrants became exercisable on December 5, 2021.
+Added: The exercise price of the Warrants is $11.50 per share.
+Added: To the extent such
+Added: Warrants are exercised, additional shares of Common Stock will be issued, which would result in dilution to our stockholders and increase
+Added: the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market.
+Added: Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market or the
+Added: fact that such Warrants may be exercised could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.
+Added: However, there is no guarantee that
+Added: the Warrants will ever be in the money prior to their expiration, and as such, the Warrants may expire worthless.
+Added: Warrants may never be in the money, and they may expire worthless and the terms of the Warrants may be amended in a manner adverse
+Added: to a holder if holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding Warrants approve of such amendment.
+Added: Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the Warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity
+Added: or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding Warrants
+Added: to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of the Warrants.
+Added: Accordingly, we may amend the
+Added: terms of the Warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding Public Warrants
+Added: approve such amendment.
+Added: Although our ability to amend the terms of the Warrants with the consent of at least 50% of the then-outstanding Public
+Added: Warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of
+Added: the Warrants, shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant.
+Added: market price and trading volume of Common Stock and Warrants may be volatile.
+Added: markets, including Nasdaq, have from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations.
+Added: Even if an active, liquid and
+Added: orderly trading market develops and is sustained for Common Stock and Warrants, the market price of Common Stock and Warrants may be volatile
+Added: and could decline significantly, whether or not any price changes are related to matters specific to DocGo.
+Added: In addition, the trading volume
+Added: in Common Stock and Warrants may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur.
+Added: If the market price of Common Stock and Warrants
+Added: declines significantly, you may be unable to resell your shares of Common Stock and Warrants at or above the market price of Common Stock
+Added: and Warrants.
+Added: We cannot assure you that the market price of Common Stock and Warrants will not fluctuate widely or decline significantly
+Added: in the future in response to a number of factors, including, among others, the following:
+Added: realization of any of the risk factors presented in this prospectus;
+Added: or anticipated differences in DocGo’s estimates, or in the estimates of analysts, for DocGo’s revenues, results of operations,
+Added: level of indebtedness, liquidity or financial condition;
+Added: and departures of key personnel;
+Added: to comply with the requirements of the Nasdaq;
+Added: to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or other laws or regulations;
+Added: issuances, sales or resales, or anticipated issuances, sales or resales, of Common Stock;

+Added: elections, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations, corruption, political instability and acts of war or terrorism.
+Added: the past, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility
+Added: in the market price of their securities.
+Added: This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert DocGo’s management’s
+Added: attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on DocGo.
+Added: issuances of debt securities and equity securities may adversely affect DocGo, including the market price of Common Stock and
+Added: may be dilutive to existing stockholders.
+Added: is no assurance that DocGo will not incur debt or issue equity ranking senior to Common Stock.
+Added: Those securities will generally
+Added: have priority upon liquidation.
+Added: Such securities also may be governed by an indenture or other instrument containing covenants
+Added: restricting its operating flexibility.
+Added: Additionally, any convertible or exchangeable securities that DocGo issues in the future
+Added: may have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable than those of Common Stock.
+Added: Separately, additional financing may not
+Added: be available on favorable terms, or at all.
+Added: Because DocGo’s decision to issue debt or equity in the future will depend on
+Added: market conditions and other factors beyond DocGo’s control, it cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, nature or
+Added: success of DocGo’s future capital raising efforts.
+Added: As a result, future capital raising efforts may reduce the market price
+Added: of Common Stock and be dilutive to existing stockholders.
+Added: JOBS Act permits “emerging growth companies” like us to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting
+Added: requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
+Added: qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the
+Added: As such, we take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies
+Added: that are not emerging growth companies for as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, including (i) the exemption
+Added: from the auditor attestation requirements with respect to internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
+Added: Act, (ii) the exemptions from say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and say-on-golden parachute voting requirements and (iii)
+Added: reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements.
+Added: As a result, our
+Added: stockholders may not have access to certain information they deem important.
+Added: We will remain an emerging growth company until the
+Added: earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of our Initial Public Offering, (b) in which
+Added: we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer,
+Added: which means the market value of the Common Stock and Warrants that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as
+Added: of the last business day of our prior second fiscal quarter, and (ii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion
+Added: in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.
+Added: addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the exemption from complying
+Added: with new or revised accounting standards provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act as long as we are an emerging growth
+Added: An emerging growth company can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would
+Added: otherwise apply to private companies.
+Added: The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period
+Added: and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable.
+Added: We have elected to avail ourselves of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and
+Added: it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised
+Added: standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
+Added: This may make comparison of our financial statements
+Added: with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using
+Added: the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
+Added: cannot predict if investors will find the Common Stock and Warrants of DocGo less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions.
+Added: If some investors find the Common Stock and Warrants less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for
+Added: the Common Stock, and Warrants and more stock price volatility.
