Hoesterey (“Mr. Hoesterey”) (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”). This Amendment No. 1 shall be referred to with the Original Filing as the “Schedule 13D.” The Original Filing remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended, restated, or superseded by information contained in this Amendment No. 1. Except as otherwise noted, capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment No. 1 have the meanings set forth in the Original Filing.

This Amendment No. 1 is the final amendment to the Schedule 13D and constitutes an exit filing for the Reporting Persons.

Item 4 is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

The information set forth in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4.

The Reporting Persons acquired beneficial ownership of the shares of Class A common stock reported herein for investment purposes with the aim of increasing the value of their investment and the Issuer. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment on a regular basis and, as a result thereof, may at any time or from time to time determine, either alone or as part of a group, (i) to acquire additional securities of the Issuer, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, (ii) to dispose of all or a portion of the securities of the Issuer owned by them in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, or (iii) to take any other available course of action, which could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D of the Exchange Act. Any such acquisition or disposition or other transaction would be made in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, and subject to the terms and conditions of any agreements between the Reporting Persons and the Issuer.

Stock Purchase Agreement

On October 9, 2023, Equity Fund, Equity Fund Parallel and HealthQuest Tactical Opportunities Fund, L.P. (“HealthQuest”) executed that certain Stock Purchase Agreement (the “HealthQuest Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which HealthQuest shall purchase (i) from Equity Fund, 1,486,695 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $14,527,189.74 and (ii) from Equity Fund Parallel, 560,080 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $5,472,802.72 (collectively, the “HealthQuest Sale”). The HealthQuest Sale is expected to close on October 30, 2023. The Reporting Persons are currently evaluating and considering additional potential sales and transfers of a portion of the remaining shares of Series A Preferred Stock beneficially owned by them following the HealthQuest Sale for purposes of syndicating the investment with potential investors in Issuer. There is no assurance that the Reporting Persons will continue to pursue such potential transfers and sales or that any such additional syndication proposal will result in a completed transaction. Continued pursuit and completion of any such transaction is subject to many factors, many of which are outside the control of the Reporting Persons, including, but not limited to, the following: terms believed by the Reporting Persons to be favorable to them, the Reporting Persons’ ongoing assessment of the Issuer’s business and prospects; other developments concerning Issuer and its businesses generally; prevailing market conditions, including the market price of the securities of Issuer; and the availability of other investment opportunities.

In addition, pursuant to the HealthQuest Purchase Agreement, Equity Fund and Equity Fund Parallel agreed that, without the prior written consent of HealthQuest, Equity Fund and Equity Fund Parallel will not, for so long as (x) Equity Fund and Equity Fund Parallel own any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and (y) HealthQuest continues to own any shares of Series A Preferred Stock acquired pursuant to the HealthQuest Purchase Agreement: (i) approve or consent to any action requiring the approval or consent of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Certificate of Designations of the Issuer that affect the powers, preferences (economic or otherwise) or special rights of any holder of Series A Preferred Stock in a manner different than Equity Fund and Equity Fund Parallel; or (ii) approve any amendment of Section 4(b) of the Certificate of Designations of the Issuer.

Conversion Restriction Agreement

On October 12, 2023, the Reporting Persons entered into that certain Conversion Restriction Agreement (the “Conversion Restriction Agreement”) with the Issuer to implement a 4.99% beneficial ownership blocker (the “Beneficial Ownership Blocker”) which prevents the Reporting Persons from converting its shares of Series A Preferred Stock and/or exercising, converting, or exchanging for Class A common stock any other securities held by them as of the date of this Amendment No. 1 or hereafter acquired to the extent that such conversions, exercises, and/or exchanges would result in the Reporting Persons, together with any Attribution Parties (as defined in the Conversion Restriction Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit E), beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock as calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, except on 61 days’ prior written notice to the Issuer that the Reporting Persons waive such limitation. The Conversion Restriction Agreement will automatically expire upon the earlier of (i) the date on which the Reporting Persons, together with any Attribution Parties, collectively beneficially own less than 5% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock, assuming the exercise, conversion, and/or exchange of all securities held by the Reporting Persons or such Attribution Parties, or (ii) the consummation of a change in control of the Issuer.

General

In addition, consistent with their investment purpose, the Reporting Persons may engage in communications with persons associated with the Issuer, including shareholders of the Issuer, officers of the Issuer, members of the board of directors of the Issuer, and/or or other third parties, to discuss matters regarding the Issuer, including but not limited to its operations, strategic direction, governance or capitalization, the formation of a syndicate of potential investors in Issuer, and potential business combinations or dispositions involving the Issuer or certain of its businesses. James Stith and Ravi Sarin, each Vice President of AEA Growth Management LP, the registered investment advisor to Equity Fund and Equity Fund Parallel, currently serve as directors of the Issuer and therefore will engage in regular discussions with the Issuer’s board of directors and management as part of their duties as a director.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer and the Issuer’s performance and market conditions periodically and to take such actions with respect to their investment as they deem appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons specifically reserve the right to change their intention with respect to any or all such matters described above. In reaching any decision as to its course of action (as well as to the specific elements thereof), the Reporting Persons currently expect that they would take into consideration a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the following: Issuer’s business and prospects; other developments concerning Issuer and its businesses generally; other business opportunities available to the Issuer; changes in law and government regulations; general economic conditions; and prevailing market conditions, including the market price of the securities of Issuer.

Except as set forth in this Item 4, none of the Reporting Persons have a present plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D of the Exchange Act.

7.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

7.6 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by any court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible given the intent of the parties hereto. If such clause or provision cannot be so enforced, such provision shall be stricken from this Agreement and the remainder of this Agreement shall be enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable clause or provision had (to the extent not enforceable) never been contained in this Agreement.

Any amendment effected in accordance with this section will be binding upon all parties hereto and each of their respective successors and assigns. No delay or failure to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of that provision as to that or any other instance. No waiver granted under this Agreement as to any one provision herein shall constitute a subsequent waiver of such provision or of any other provision herein, nor shall it constitute the waiver of any performance other than the actual performance specifically waived.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Stock Transfer Agreement as of October 9, 2023.

Exhibit 99.E

October 12, 2023

American Oncology Network, Inc.

14543 Global Parkway, Suite 110

Fort Myers, FL 33913

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In addition to any shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of American Oncology Network, Inc. (the “Company”) the undersigned may hold, the undersigned holds shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock” and, together with any other securities acquired by the undersigned on or after the date hereof which are exercisable for, convertible into or otherwise exchangeable for Class A Common Stock, including but not limited to shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company or units of American Oncology Network, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, “Equity-Linked Securities”), of the Company, which have not been and are not expected to be registered under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Each of the Class A Common Stock and the Company’s Warrants, each whole warrant exercisable for one share of Class A Common Stock, are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act.

Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Certificate of Designations, each as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on September 20, 2023 (collectively the “Charter”), each share of Series A Preferred Stock will be converted into that number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the conversion ratio then in effect, with such adjustment or cash payment for fractional shares as the Company may elect pursuant to the Charter, either (a) at the option of the Company on or after September 20, 2026 (subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Certificate of Designations) or (b) at the option of the holder.

Certain stockholders of the Company are required to make filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under Sections 13 and 16 of the Exchange Act. Filings pursuant to Sections 13 and 16 of the Exchange Act are typically required of stockholders who beneficially own (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) more than five percent or ten percent, respectively, of the outstanding shares of a class of a company’s equity securities registered under the Exchange Act (with respect to Section 13 of the Exchange Act, the Class A Common Stock).

In consideration of the foregoing, the undersigned agrees that it will not convert its Equity-Linked Securities, whether beneficially owned as of the date hereof or hereafter acquired, into shares of Class A Common Stock to the extent that such conversion would result in the undersigned, together with any Attribution Parties (as defined below), beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock; provided that the foregoing limitation may be waived by the undersigned by giving at least sixty-one (61) days prior notice to the Company (the “Conversion Notice”). “Attribution Parties” shall mean: (i) any direct or indirect affiliates of the undersigned; (ii) any person acting or who could be deemed to be acting as a group (as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and as defined in Rule 13d- 5 thereunder) together with the undersigned; and (iii) any persons whose beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock would or could be aggregated with the undersigned’s and the other Attribution Parties’ for purposes of Section 13 and/or Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

The limitations set forth in the prior paragraph will terminate upon the sixty-first (61st) day after a Conversion Notice is delivered to the Company. The undersigned understands that, after the Conversion Notice is delivered to the Company, it will be required to make filings with the SEC under Sections 13 and 16 of the Exchange Act if the conversion of Equity-Linked Securities beneficially owned by the undersigned will result in the undersigned, together with any Attribution Parties, collectively beneficially owning more than five percent or ten percent, respectively, of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. The undersigned also understands that the Company will instruct its transfer agent to restrict the undersigned’s Equity-Linked Securities in accordance with this Conversion Restriction Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Conversion Restriction Agreement shall not have, and is not intended to have, the purpose or effect of altering or otherwise affecting the determination of voting rights or voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock as set forth in Section 4(a) of the Certificate of Designations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Conversion Restriction Agreement shall automatically expire on the earlier of (i) the date on which the undersigned, together with any Attribution Parties, collectively beneficially owns less than five percent of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, assuming conversion of all Equity-Linked Securities held by the undersigned and any such Attribution Parties, or (ii) the consummation of a change in control of the Company.

Other than as expressly set forth herein, this Conversion Restriction Agreement is irrevocable and will be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. This Conversion Restriction Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which constitutes an original, and all of which taken together constitute one agreement binding on all the parties.
