THE COMPANY
We are a leading value-based oncology company that manages community-based oncology practices that serve patients at 74 clinic locations across 14 markets and 5 states throughout the United States, which are staffed with 111 oncologists and advanced practice providers as of September 30, 2022. 60 of these clinics are staffed with 100 providers employed by our affiliated physician-owned professional entities, which we refer to as the “TOI PCs”; and 14 of the clinics are owned by independent oncology practices to whom we provide limited management services. We believe that TOI has more covered lives than any other value-based oncology company. The TOI PCs provided care for more than 51,000 patients in 2021 and managed a population of approximately 1.7 million patients under value-based agreements as of September 30, 2022. Our mission is to heal and empower cancer patients through compassion, innovation, and state-of-the-art medical care.
Corporate Information
We were incorporated as a Delaware corporation in November 2019 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On November 12, 2021, we consummated the business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 28, 2021, by and among the Company, Legacy TOI, Orion Merger Sub I, LLC (“First Merger Sub”) and Orion Merger Sub II, LLC (“Second Merger Sub”), pursuant to which (i) the First Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy TOI, with Legacy TOI being the surviving corporation and (ii) immediately following the First Merger, Legacy TOI merged with and into the Second Merger Sub, with the Second Merger Sub being the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Upon the closing of the Business Combination we changed our name to The Oncology Institute, Inc. Our principal executive offices are located at 18000 Studebaker Rd, Suite 800, Cerritos, California 90703, and our telephone number is (562) 735-3226. Our website address is https://www.theoncologyinstitute.com. The information contained in, or accessible through, our website does not constitute a part of this prospectus. We have included our website address in this prospectus solely as an inactive textual reference.
Emerging Growth Company
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”). An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. These reduced reporting requirements include: an exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirement on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting; reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements; an exemption from the requirements to obtain a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation or a stockholder approval of any golden parachute arrangements; and extended transition periods for complying with new or revised accounting standards.
We may take advantage of these exemptions until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenue, we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC or we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. We may choose to take advantage of some, but not all, of the available exemptions. We have taken advantage of certain reduced reporting burdens in this prospectus. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold stock.
The JOBS Act permits an emerging growth company like us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period until we are no longer an emerging growth company or until we affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
We have elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and may elect to take advantage of other reduced reporting requirements in future
filings. As a result, the information that we provide to our stockholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.
In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

RISK FACTORS
Investment in any securities offered pursuant to this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement involves risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors incorporated by reference to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, and all other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act, and the risk factors and other information contained in the applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus before acquiring any of such securities. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business operations. The occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities. The discussion of risks includes or refers to forward-looking statements. You should read the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on such forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and in any applicable prospectus supplement.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We are filing the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to permit holders of the shares of our Common Stock described in the section entitled “Registered Holders” to resell such shares of Common Stock. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock by the Registered Holders.
The Registered Holders will pay all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of their shares of Common Stock, including underwriters’ or agents’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, underwriter marketing costs and all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Registered Holders. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the securities covered by this prospectus, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing and delivery fees, Nasdaq listing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our accountants.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The following description summarizes some of the terms of our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, dated as of November 12, 2021 (the “Charter”) and our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). This description is summarized from, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, each of which has been publicly filed with the SEC, as well as the relevant provisions of the DGCL.
Our purpose is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may now or hereafter be organized under the DGCL. Our authorized capital stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. No shares of preferred stock are issued or outstanding. Unless our board of directors determines otherwise, we will issue all shares of our capital stock in uncertificated form.
Common Stock
Holders of shares of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.
Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up and after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to any future holders of preferred stock having liquidation preferences, if any, the holders of Common Stock will be entitled to receive pro rata our remaining assets available for distribution. Holders of our Common Stock do not have preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. There are no redemption provisions or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock. All shares of our Common Stock that are outstanding are fully paid and non-assessable. The rights, powers, preferences and privileges of holders of the Common Stock are subject to those of the holders of any shares of our preferred stock that the board of directors may authorize and issue in the future.
Preferred Stock
Under the terms of the certificate of incorporation, our board of directors is authorized to direct us to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series without stockholder approval. The board of directors has the discretion to determine the rights, powers, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock.
The purpose of authorizing our board of directors to issue preferred stock and determine its rights and preferences is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions, future financings and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from seeking to acquire, a majority of the outstanding voting stock. Additionally, the issuance of preferred stock may adversely affect the holders of Common Stock by restricting dividends on the Common Stock, diluting the voting power of the Common Stock or subordinating the liquidation rights of the Common Stock. As a result of these or other factors, the issuance of preferred stock could have an adverse impact on the market price of the Common Stock.
Series A Common Equivalent Preferred Stock
Each share of Series A Common Equivalent Preferred Stock is convertible into 100 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment) at the option of the holder thereof and, in limited circumstances, at the election of the Company, subject to the beneficial ownership limitation described below. Each share of Series A Common Equivalent Preferred Stock is entitled to a de minimis liquidation preference of $0.0001 per share. The Series A Common Equivalent Preferred Stock does not have any voting rights (except in certain circumstances related to the Common Equivalent Preferred Stock). The terms of the Series A Common Equivalent Preferred Stock otherwise are substantially equivalent to the terms of the Common Stock. The ability of a holder to convert Series A Common Equivalent Preferred Stock into Class A Common Stock is prohibited to the extent that, upon such conversion, such
holder, its affiliates and other persons whose ownership of Class A Common Stock would be aggregated with that of such holder for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, would exceed 4.9% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.
Convertible Notes
On August 9, 2022, we entered into a Facility Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) by and among the Company, as borrower, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries from time to time party thereto as guarantors and Deerfield Partners, L.P. (“Deerfield Partners”), as agent for itself and the lenders, providing for the issuance and sale by the Company of $110 million of aggregate principal amount of 4.0% secured senior convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”) upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Facility Agreement. On August 9, 2022, pursuant to the Facility Agreement, we sold the Convertible Notes, which will mature on August 9, 2027, unless earlier converted or redeemed, and are convertible into shares of our Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $8.567 per share. The Facility Agreement also provides for the issuance of warrants to purchase Common Stock (the “DF Warrants”) to the extent that the obligations under Facility Agreement and the Convertible Notes are prepaid.
The Convertible Notes are secured by (i) a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and (ii) a pledge by the Company of the equity interest of all its direct and indirect subsidiaries and will mature on August 9, 2027, unless earlier converted or redeemed, and are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $8.567 per share. The Convertible Notes were issued in a private placement pursuant to an exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
The Convertible Notes bear interest at 4.0% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears commencing on October 1, 2022 and on the first business day of each January, April, July and October thereafter. The Convertible Notes are convertible at any time at the option of the holders thereof; provided that the holders of the Convertible Notes are prohibited from converting the Convertible Notes into shares of Common Stock if, the coupon such conversion, the converting holder (together with certain affiliates and “group” members) would beneficially own more than 4.9% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding (the “Beneficial Ownership Cap”).
Holders of the Convertible Notes have the option to demand repayment of all outstanding principal, any unpaid interest accrued thereon, and make-whole interest in connection with a Major Transaction under the Convertible Notes, which includes, among other events, certain acquisitions or other changes of control of the Company; certain sales or transfers of assets of the Company; a liquidation, bankruptcy or other dissolution of the Company; or if at any time shares of the Company’s Common Stock are not listed on an Eligible Market.
The Facility Agreement contains certain specified events of default, the occurrence of which would entitle the holders of the Convertible Notes to immediately demand repayment of all outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Convertible Notes, together with a make-whole payment as determined pursuant to the Facility Agreement. Such events of default include, among others, failure to make any payment under the Convertible Notes when due, failure to observe or perform any covenant under the Facility Agreement or the other transaction documents related thereto (subject in certain cases to specified cure periods), the failure of the Company to be able to pay debts as they come due, the commencement of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Company, a material judgment levied against the Company and a material default by the Company under other indebtedness.
Redeemable Warrants
Public Stockholders’ Warrants
Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination. A warrantholder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Common Stock. This means only a whole warrant may be exercised at a given time by a warrantholder. The warrants will expire five years after the closing of the Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
We are not obligated to deliver any Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant, and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise, unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Common Stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to satisfying its obligations described below with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and will not be obligated to issue a share of Common Stock upon exercise of a warrant unless the share of Common Stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant is not entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event are we required to net cash settle any warrant.
We must use our best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement covering the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of the Business Combination, warrantholders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if Common Stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) 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, and in the event we do not so elect, we will use our best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
Redemption of warrants for cash
Once the warrants become exercisable, we may call the warrants for redemption for cash:
•in whole and not in part;
•at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
•upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption”); and
•if, and only if, the closing price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before we send the notice of redemption to the warrantholders.
If and when the warrants become redeemable by us for cash, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
We established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and we issue a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrantholder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Common Stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.
Redemption of warrants for shares of common stock
Commencing ninety days after the warrants become exercisable, we may redeem the outstanding warrants:
•in whole and not in part;
•at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference to the table below, based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of our shares of Common Stock (as defined below) except as otherwise described below; and
•if, and only if, the closing price of shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per public share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, reclassifications, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders;
•if, and only if, the Private Placement Warrants are also concurrently called for redemption at the same price (equal to a number of shares of Common Stock ) as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above; and
•if, and only if, there is an effective registration statement covering the issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating thereto available throughout the 30-day period after written notice of redemption is given.in whole and not in part;
The numbers in the table below represent the number of shares of Common Stock that a warrant holder will receive upon exercise in connection with a redemption by us pursuant to this redemption feature, based on the “fair market value” (defined below) of the Common Stock on the corresponding redemption date (assuming holders elect to exercise their warrants and such warrants are not redeemed for $0.10 per warrant), determined based on the average of the last reported sales price for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants, and the number of months that the corresponding redemption date precedes the expiration date of the warrants, each as set forth in the table below.
The stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table below will be adjusted as of any date on which the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a warrant is adjusted as set forth in the first three paragraphs under the heading “-Anti-dilution Adjustments” below. The adjusted stock prices in the column headings will equal the stock prices immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon exercise of a warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon exercise of a warrant as so adjusted. The number of shares in the table below
shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a warrant.

Cashless Exercise and Redemption Procedures
If we call the warrants for redemption as described above, our Management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise his, her or its warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis,” our Management will consider, among other factors, its cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on its stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of its warrants. If Management takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value:” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Common Stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. If Management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of the warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a warrant redemption. If we call the warrants for redemption and do not take advantage of this option, certain holders of our Private Placement Warrants and its permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their Private Placement Warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other warrantholders would have been required to use had all warrantholders been required to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail below.
A holder of a warrant may notify us in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (as specified by the holder) of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
Anti-dilution Adjustments
If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a share capitalization payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a split-up of common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share capitalization, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of common stock. A rights offering made to all or substantially all holders of common stock entitling holders to purchase Common Stock at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a share capitalization of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock ) and (ii) the quotient of (x) the price per share of Common Stock paid in such rights offering and (y) the fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for share of Common Stock, in determining the price payable for Common Stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of shares of Common Stock as reported during the 10 trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the Common Stock trades on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.
In addition, if we, at any time while the warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to all or substantially all the holders of Common Stock on account of such Common Stock (or other securities into which the warrants are convertible), other than, among other exceptions, as described in the paragraph immediately above or certain ordinary cash dividends or $0.50 per annum subject to adjustment, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Common Stock in respect of such event.
If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share split or reclassification of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse share split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding share of Common Stock.
Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.
In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Common Stock - (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such Common Stock - ), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of our outstanding Common Stock ), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which we are dissolved, the holders of the warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the warrants and in lieu of the Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their warrants immediately prior to such event. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of Common Stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of Common Stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within 30 days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the warrant agreement based on the Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined in the warrant agreements executed in
connection with the IPO) of the warrant. The purpose of such exercise price reduction is to provide additional value to holders of the warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of the warrants pursuant to which the holders of the warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the warrants.
The warrants are issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder for the purpose of (i) curing any ambiguity or to correct any defective provision or mistake, including to conform the provisions of the warrant agreement to the description of the terms of the warrants and the warrant agreement set forth in this prospectus, (ii) adjusting the provisions relating to cash dividends on shares of common stock as contemplated by and in accordance with the warrant agreement or (iii) adding or changing any provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the warrant agreement as the parties to the warrant agreement may deem necessary or desirable and that the parties deem to not adversely affect the rights of the registered holders of the warrants, provided that the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding Public Warrants is required to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of Public Warrants, and, solely with respect to any amendment to the terms of the Private Placement Warrants, 50% of the then outstanding Private Placement Warrants. You should review a copy of the warrant agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants.
The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrantholders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive Common Stock. After the issuance of Common Stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.
No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the warrantholder.
Private Placement Warrants
The Private Placement Warrants (including the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) are not be redeemable for cash so long as they are held by the Initial Stockholders or their permitted transferees. The initial purchasers, or their permitted transferees, have the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis. Except as described herein, the Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the Units sold in the IPO.
If holders of the Private Placement Warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of the Common Stock over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” will mean the average closing price of the Common Stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. The reason that has agreed that these warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees is because it is not known at this time whether they will be affiliated with the combined company following the closing of the Business Combination. If they remain affiliated with us, their ability to sell our securities in the open market will be significantly limited. We have policies in place that prohibit insiders from selling its securities except during specific periods of time. Even during such periods of time when insiders will be permitted to sell our securities, an insider cannot trade in the securities if he or she is in possession of material non-public information. Accordingly, unlike Public Stockholders who could exercise their warrants and sell the shares of Common Stock received upon such exercise freely in the open market in order
to recoup the cost of such exercise, the insiders could be significantly restricted from selling such securities. As a result, we believe that allowing the holders to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis is appropriate.
DF Warrants
If issued, the DF Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon their exercise will be issued in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act in transactions not involving a public offering (or, in the case of the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to certain non-cash exercises of the DF Warrants, pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) under the Securities Act as an exchange with existing security holders).
If issued, the DF Warrants will be exercisable on a cash or cashless (net exercise) basis, and will be subject to the Beneficial Ownership Cap, as well as certain other customary anti-dilution adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events such as stock splits, subdivisions, reclassifications or combinations of Common Stock.
The DF Warrants will also provide, at the election of each holder thereof, for the payment of the exercise price therefor by reduction of the principal amount of any outstanding Convertible Notes held by such holder. Upon the consummation of a Major Transaction under the DF Warrants, which includes, among other events, certain acquisitions or other changes of control of the Company and certain sales or transfers of assets of the Company, holders of the DF Warrants may elect to (i) have their DF Warrants redeemed by the Company for an amount equal to the Black-Scholes value of such DF Warrant, in cash or, if applicable, in the form of the consideration paid to the Company’s stockholders in a Major Transaction under the DF Warrants, or (ii) have such DF Warrants be assumed by the successor to the Company in a Major Transaction under the DF Warrants, if applicable. Holders of the DF Warrants are also entitled to participate in any dividends or distributions to holders of Common Stock at the time such dividends or distributions are paid to such stockholders. If issued, the DF Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon their exercise will be issued in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act in transactions not involving a public offering (or, in the case of the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to certain non-cash exercises of the DF Warrants, pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) under the Securities Act as an exchange with existing security holders).
If holders of the DF Warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on such exercise date minus the exercise price, as adjusted, multiplied by the number of underlying shares of Common Stock of each DF Warrant by (y) the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on such exercise date. The “fair market value” for the DF Warrants will mean either (i) if the Market Price can be calculated in accordance with the definitions of “Market Price” and “Volume Weighted Average Price,” the Market Price per share of Common Stock on the last Trading Day prior to the date of determination; and (ii) if the Common Stock cannot be calculated in accordance with the definitions of “Market Price” and “Volume Weighted Average Price,” the fair market value of a share of Common Stock shall be such fair market value as determined in good faith by the Company in reliance on an opinion of a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained by the Company for this purpose; provided that the Holder shall have a right to receive from the Company the calculations performed to arrive at such fair market value and a copy of the opinion of such investment banking firm and any report prepared by such investment banking firm and delivered to the Company in connection therewith.
Dividends
We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock to date. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon many factors, including our financial condition, results of operations, projections, liquidity, earnings, legal requirements, restrictions in our debt agreements and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
Authorized but Unissued Shares
Our Charter authorizes 510,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
Exclusive Forum for Certain Lawsuits
Our Charter provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on our behalf; (ii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a breach of fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, stockholder or employee of the company to the company or our stockholders; (iii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against us arising under the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (iv) any action, suit or proceeding as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or (v) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against the Corporation or any current or former director, officer or stockholder governed by the internal affairs doctrine, and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to (A) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts within Delaware and (B) service of process on such stockholder’s counsel. The provision of our Charter described in the immediately preceding sentence does not apply to (i) suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction and (ii) any action arising under the Securities Act, as to which the federal district court for the United States of America shall have exclusive jurisdiction. Special Meeting of Stockholders.
Special Meetings of Stockholders
Our Charter provides that special meetings of our stockholders may be called at any time by the board of directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by the board of directors, the chairperson of the board of directors, the Chief Executive Officer or President, subject to the rights of holders of any series of preferred stock then outstanding.
Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations
Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise provided by Delaware law, our Charter or Bylaws, such notice shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. The Board or the chairperson of the meeting may adjourn the meeting to another time or place (whether or not a quorum is present), and notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, are announced at the meeting at which such adjournment is made. At the adjourned meeting, we may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. Action by written consent
Action by Written Consent
Pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is or are signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares of our stock entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, unless our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation provides otherwise. Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock or any other outstanding class or series of our stock, the Charter does not permit our holders of Common Stock to act by consent in writing.
Dissenter’s Rights of Appraisal and Payment
Appraisal rights are statutory rights under the DGCL that enable stockholders who object to certain extraordinary transactions to demand that the corporation pay such stockholders the fair value of their shares instead of receiving the consideration offered to stockholders in connection with the extraordinary transaction. However, appraisal rights are not available in all circumstances.
Stockholders’ Derivative Actions
Under the DGCL, any of stockholders may bring an action in our name to procure a judgment in our favor, also known as a derivative action, provided that the stockholder bringing the action is a holder of our shares at the time of the transaction to which the action relates or such stockholder’s stock thereafter devolved by operation of law.
Conflicts of Interest
Our Charter, to the maximum extent permitted from time to time by Delaware law, renounces any interest or expectancy that we have in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, specified business opportunities that are from time to time presented to our directors or their affiliates, other than those directors or affiliates who are our or our subsidiaries’ employees. Our Charter provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, none of the our directors who are not employed by us (including any non-employee director who serves as one of our officers in both his or her director and officer capacities) or his or her affiliates will have any fiduciary duty to refrain from (i) engaging in a corporate opportunity in the same or similar lines of business in which we or our affiliates now engage or propose to engage or (ii) otherwise competing with us or our affiliates. Our Charter does not renounce our interest in any business opportunity that is expressly offered to a non-employee director solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer. To the fullest extent permitted by law, a business opportunity will not be deemed to be a potential corporate opportunity for us if we are neither financially nor legally able, nor contractually permitted to undertake the opportunity, the opportunity is not in the line of our business or is of no practical advantage to us or it is one in which we have no interest or reasonable expectancy.
Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors of corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties, subject to certain exceptions. Our Charter includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors for damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended.
Our Bylaws provide that we must indemnify and advance expenses to our directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. We also expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing indemnification for our directors, officers, and certain employees for some liabilities. We believes that these indemnification and advancement provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers.
The limitation of liability, advancement and indemnification provisions in our Charter and Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officer pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
Registration Rights
At the closing of the Business Combination, the Company entered into the Amended & Restated Registration Rights Agreement the (“Existing Registration Rights Agreement”) with the investors listed as parties thereto (the “Rights Holders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Existing Registration Rights Agreement, we were obligated to file a registration statement to register the resale of all Common Stock held by the Rights Holders. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Existing Registration Rights Agreement and subject to certain requirements and customary conditions, including with regard to the number of demand rights that may be exercised, the Rights Holders may demand at any time or from time to time, that we file a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3 to register certain shares of Common Stock held by or otherwise issuable to such Rights Holders. The Existing Registration Rights Agreement also provided the Rights Holders with “piggy-back” registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions.
In connection with the consummation of the Convertible Notes, on August 9, 2022 the Company entered into the Registration Rights Agreement (the “DF Registration Rights Agreement”) with holders of the Convertible Notes. Pursuant to the DF Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to prepare and file the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part to effect a registration of the Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of or pursuant to the Convertible Notes or the DF Warrants (the “Registrable Securities”), covering the resale of the Registrable Securities and such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Convertible Notes to prevent dilution resulting from certain corporate actions. The DF Registration Rights Agreement also provides for “piggy-back” registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions.
In connection with the Company’s entry into the DF Registration Rights Agreement, certain Legacy TOI stockholders entered into a waiver to the Existing Registration Rights Agreement (the “RRA Waiver”). The RRA Waiver provides written consent to permit the Company to enter into the DF Registration Rights Agreement, waives certain piggyback rights provided under the Existing Registration Rights Agreement, and agrees to amend the Existing Registration Rights Agreement to update a defined term.
Transfer Agent, Warrant Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent for our capital stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. We agreed to indemnify Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company in its roles as transfer agent and warrant agent, its agents and each of its stockholders, directors, officers and employees against all claims and losses that may arise out of acts performed or omitted for its activities in that capacity, except for any liability due to any gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the indemnified person or entity.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering 1,227,161 shares of Common Stock. The Registered Holders will pay all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of their shares of Common Stock, including underwriters’ or agents’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, underwriter marketing costs and all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Registered Holders. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing and delivery fees, Nasdaq listing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our accountants.
The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Registered Holders covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by the Registered Holders. The term “Registered Holders” includes donees, pledgees, transferees, distributees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of our Common Stock or interests in our Common Stock received after the date of this prospectus from a Registered Holder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer. The Registered Holders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. The Registered Holders may sell their shares of Common Stock by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods:
•purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;
•ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;
•block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
•an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq;
•through trading plans entered into by a Registered Holder pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement hereto that provide for periodic sales of their securities on the basis of parameters described in such trading plans;
•to or through underwriters or broker-dealers;
•in “at the market” offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated prices, at prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly on a national securities exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales agents;
•in privately negotiated transactions;
•in options transactions;
•through a combination of any of the above methods of sale; or
•any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
In addition, any shares that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 or another exemption from registration under the securities act. may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. A Registered Holder that is an entity may elect to make an in-kind distribution of Common Stock to its members, partners, stockholders or other equityholders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part by delivering a prospectus. To the extent that such members, partners, stockholders or other equityholders are not affiliates of ours, such members, partners, stockholders or other equityholders would thereby receive freely tradable shares of Common Stock pursuant to a distribution pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In connection with distributions of the shares or otherwise, the Registered Holders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with Registered Holders. The Registered Holders may also sell shares of Common Stock short and redeliver the shares to close out such short positions. The Registered Holders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions that require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The Registered Holders may also pledge shares or grant a security interest in shares to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default under the secured obligation, such broker-dealer or other financial institution, may effect sales of the pledged shares pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
A Registered Holder may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by any Registered Holder or borrowed from any Registered Holder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from any Registered Holder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions may be an underwriter and, if applicable, will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, any Registered Holder may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.
In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the Registered Holders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the Registered Holders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.
In offering the securities covered by this prospectus, any broker-dealers who execute sales for the Registered Holders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. The compensation of any broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the securities must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
We have advised the Registered Holders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of securities in the market and to the activities of the Registered Holders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the Registered Holders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, if applicable. The Registered Holders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the securities against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
At the time a particular offer of securities is made, if required, a prospectus supplement will be distributed that will set forth the number of securities being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent, the purchase price paid by any underwriter, any discount, commission and other item constituting compensation, any discount, commission or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the proposed selling price to the public.
