(e)

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons or the Listed Persons has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction resulting in such Reporting Person being subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

The shares of Common Stock reported herein as being beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were issued to M33 LP and TOI M in connection with the completion of the business combination (the “Business Combination”) on November 12, 2021 (the “Closing Date”) as contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 28, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, Orion Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“First Merger Sub”), Orion Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Issuer (“Second Merger Sub”) and TOI Parent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy TOI”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between the Issuer and Legacy TOI was effected through the merger of First Merger Sub with and into Legacy TOI, with Legacy TOI surviving as the surviving company (“First Merger”) and (ii) immediately following the First Merger, TOI will merge with and into the Second Merger Sub (the “Second Merger”), with the Second Merger Sub being the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Issuer. On the Closing Date, the Issuer changed its name from DFP Healthcare Acquisitions Corp. to The Oncology Institute, Inc.

 

Immediately prior to the time of filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware upon consummation of the First Merger (the “First Effective Time”), all issued and outstanding shares of Legacy TOI preferred stock (the “Legacy TOI Preferred Stock”) converted into shares of Legacy TOI common stock (the “Legacy TOI Common Stock”), after which M33 LP held 23,450 shares and TOI M held 2,657 shares of Legacy TOI Common Stock. At the Effective Time, each outstanding share of Legacy TOI Common Stock was cancelled and converted into the right to receive 59,546,762 shares of Class A Common Stock, $0.0001 par value (“Class A Common Stock”) of the Issuer, resulting in the issuance of 13,703,803 shares of Class A Common Stock to M33 LP and 1,552,580 shares of Class A Common Stock to TOI M. In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock will become shares of Common Stock.

 

 

In accordance with the terms of Merger Agreement, up to 12,500,000 shares of Common Stock will be issued at a future date should the Common Stock achieve certain tiered trading price thresholds during the three year period immediately following the Closing Date (the “Earnout Shares”). M33 LP and TOI M has the contingent right to receive up to an aggregate of 3,238,897 and Earnout Shares, respectively. Such Earnout Shares are excluded from the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership as reported herein because the Reporting Persons do not currently have the right to acquire any Earnout Shares.

 

The securities of Legacy TOI held by M33 LP and TOI M and exchanged for Common Stock in the Business Combination were purchased for an aggregate purchase price of $16,579,830. The funds used by M33 LP and TOI M to acquire the securities of Legacy TOI were obtained from capital contributions by its partners.

 

Item 4.

In addition, depending upon the factors referred to above, the Reporting Persons may dispose of all or a portion of their securities of the Issuer at any time. Each of the Reporting Persons reserves the right to increase or decrease its holdings on such terms and at such times as each may decide.
