The Annual Meeting will again be a virtual meeting conducted exclusively online via live audio webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/DCGO2023. The Annual Meeting will be held for the following purposes, as more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”):

As permitted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we are providing access to our proxy materials online under the SEC’s “notice and access” rules. As a result, unless stockholders previously requested electronic or paper delivery on an ongoing basis, we are mailing to our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) instead of a paper copy of our Proxy Statement, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Annual Report”) and our form of proxy card or voting instruction card (together, the “Proxy Materials”). The Notice contains instructions on how to access the Proxy Materials online. The Notice also contains instructions on how stockholders can receive a paper copy of our Proxy Materials.

Board Composition

Director Nomination Process

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things, overseeing succession planning for directors and building a qualified board to oversee management’s execution of the Company’s strategy and safeguard the long-term interests of stockholders. In this regard, the committee is charged with developing and recommending Board membership criteria to the Board for approval, evaluating the composition of the Board annually to assess the skills and experience that are currently represented on the Board and the skills and experience that the Board may find valuable in the future, and identifying, evaluating and recommending potential director candidates.

In identifying potential candidates for Board membership, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers recommendations from directors, stockholders, management and others, including, from time to time, third-party search firms to assist it in locating qualified candidates. Once potential director candidates are identified, the committee, with the assistance of management, undertakes a vetting process that considers each candidate’s background, independence and fit with the Board’s priorities. As part of this vetting process, the committee, as well as other members of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer, may conduct interviews with the candidates. If the committee determines that a potential candidate meets the needs of the Board and has the desired qualifications, it recommends the candidate to the full Board for appointment or nomination and to the stockholders for election at the annual meeting.

Criteria for Board Membership

In assessing potential candidates for Board membership and in assessing Board composition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers a wide range of factors and generally seeks to balance the following skills, experiences and backgrounds on the Board:

        Industry Knowledge:    Experience within the healthcare industry, particularly in healthcare transportation and mobile healthcare services.

        Financial Expertise:    Experience or expertise in finance, accounting, investment analysis, financial reporting processes and capital markets.

        Leadership Experience:    Leadership roles at various organizations, including driving strategy execution, organizational growth and managing human capital.

        Diverse Background:    Diversity of occupational and personal backgrounds, including diversity with respect to demographics such as gender, race, ethnic and national background, geography, age and sexual orientation.

In addition, the committee generally believes it is important for all Board members to possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values, an inquisitive and objective perspective, a sense for priorities and balance, the ability and willingness to devote sufficient time and attention to Board matters and a willingness to represent the long-term interests of all our stockholders.

Board Diversity

As discussed above, the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee actively seek to achieve a diversity of occupational and personal backgrounds on the Board, including diversity with respect to demographics such as gender, race, ethnic and national background, geography, age and sexual orientation. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assesses its effectiveness in balancing these considerations in connection with its annual evaluation of the composition of the Board. As disclosed in the Company’s proxy last year, the Board delivered on its commitment to appoint at least one additional independent director to the Board, while actively seeking out women and minority candidates. Ms. Leite, who is both gender- and racially-diverse, joined our Board in November 2022.

Any such recommendations should be submitted to the committee as described in the section titled “Communications with the Board” below and should include the following information: (i) all information about the nominee that is required to be disclosed pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act; (ii) such person’s written consent to serving as a director, if elected, for the full term for which such person is standing for election; (iii) the name(s) and address(es) for each stockholder of record and beneficial owner of shares of common stock held in “street name” making the nomination and the number of shares of common stock that are owned beneficially and of record by each such stockholder and beneficial owner of shares of common stock held in “street name;” and (iv) such stockholder’s representation that he or she (or a qualified representative) intends to appear at the meeting to make such nomination.

Board Leadership Structure

We do not have a policy regarding whether the roles of the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer should be separate or combined, and our Board believes that there is no single, generally accepted board leadership structure that is appropriate across all circumstances, and that the right structure may vary as circumstances change. As such, the Board periodically reviews its leadership structure to evaluate whether the structure remains appropriate for the Company, and may modify this structure from time to time as and when appropriate to best address the Company’s unique circumstances and advance the best interests of all stockholders. At any time when the Chairman is not independent, the independent directors of the Board may designate an independent director to serve as lead independent director.

Currently, the roles of Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer are separate. Stan Vashovsky, our former Chief Executive Officer, continues to serve as Chairman of the Board, and the independent directors have appointed Steven Katz, an independent director, to serve as Lead Independent Director for a term of at least one year with well-defined, robust duties and powers, as summarized below. Our Board believes that this is the appropriate board leadership structure for us at this time. Separating the roles of the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman enables our Chairman to oversee corporate governance matters and to provide a long-term perspective for the Company given his intimate knowledge of the business and our Chief Executive Officer to focus on leading the Company’s business, while our Lead Independent Director further enhances independent Board oversight of management.

Table of Contents

The Lead Independent Director’s responsibilities include: (a) presiding at meetings of the Board at which the Chairman of the Board is not present, including executive sessions of the independent directors; (b) reviewing information sent to the Board; (c) reviewing the agenda and schedule for Board meetings to provide that there is sufficient time for discussion of all agenda items; (d) serving as liaison between the Chairman of the Board and the independent directors; and (e) being available for consultation and communication with major stockholders upon request. The Lead Independent Director also has the authority to call executive sessions of the independent directors.

The Board believes that its programs for overseeing risk, as described in the “Board Risk Oversight” section below, would be effective under a variety of leadership frameworks. Accordingly, the Board’s risk oversight function did not significantly impact its selection of the current leadership structure.

Executive Sessions

The independent directors have the opportunity to meet in executive sessions without management present at every regular Board meeting. The purpose of these executive sessions is to encourage and enhance communication among independent directors. Mr. Katz, our Lead Independent Director, presides at executive sessions of independent directors.

Director Independence

Nasdaq listing rules require a majority of a listed company’s board of directors to be comprised of independent directors who, in the opinion of the board of directors, do not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating committees must be independent, and audit and compensation committee members must satisfy additional independence criteria under the Exchange Act.

Our Board undertook a review of its composition and the independence of each director. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director, our Board has determined that each of Messrs. Burdiek, Katz, Smedra and Travers and Ms. Leite qualifies as an “independent director” as defined by the Nasdaq listing rules. The Board also determined that our former director, Chris Fillo, was independent during the period he served on the Board until his resignation from the Board in April 2022. Mr. Vashovsky is not deemed to be independent under Nasdaq listing rules by virtue of his former service as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Tendler is not deemed to be independent under Nasdaq listing rules by virtue of his role as an officer of the Company.

Our Board also determined that each of the directors currently serving on the Audit and Compliance Committee (Messrs. Burdiek, Katz and Smedra) and the Compensation Committee (Messrs. Katz and Smedra and Ms. Leite) satisfy the heightened independence standards for audit committees and compensation committees, as applicable, established by the SEC and Nasdaq listing rules.

Board Committees

Our Board has a separately designated Audit and Compliance Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, each of which is comprised solely of independent directors as required under the applicable Nasdaq listing rules and, if applicable, SEC rules, with the membership and responsibilities described below. Members serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by our Board. Each of these committees is empowered to retain outside advisors as it deems appropriate, regularly reports its activities to the full Board and has a written charter, which is posted on our website located at https://ir.docgo.com/, under “Governance.”

Audit and Compliance Committee.    The primary responsibility of our Audit and Compliance Committee is to exercise primary financial oversight on behalf of the Board. The Company’s management team is responsible for preparing financial statements, and the Company’s independent auditor is responsible for auditing those financial statements. The Audit and Compliance Committee is directly responsible for the selection, engagement, compensation, retention and oversight of the Company’s independent auditor. The Audit and Compliance Committee is also responsible for the review of any proposed related persons transactions.

Mr. Katz qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as that term is defined in the rules and regulations established by the SEC, and all members of the Audit and Compliance Committee are financially literate in that each of them is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including the Company’s balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flows, as required under the Nasdaq listing rules.

Compensation Committee.    The primary responsibilities of our Compensation Committee are to approve the compensation, including performance bonuses, payable to our executive officers and to administer the Company’s equity compensation plans. The Compensation Committee also acts on behalf of and in conjunction with the Board to establish or recommend the compensation of our executive officers and to provide oversight of our overall compensation programs and philosophy.

The Compensation Committee may delegate its authority to one or more subcommittees or to one member of the committee. The committee may also delegate authority to review and approve the compensation of our employees to certain of our executive officers. The committee has the authority to engage outside advisors, such as compensation consultants, to assist it in carrying out its responsibilities. The committee engaged Compensia in 2022 to provide advice regarding the amount and form of executive and director compensation.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.    The primary responsibilities of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are to assist the Board in identifying and recommending individuals qualified to become members of the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is also responsible for evaluating the composition, size and governance of the Board and its committees; establishing a policy for considering stockholder nominees; reviewing the Principles of Corporate Governance and making recommendations to the Board regarding possible changes; and reviewing and monitoring compliance with our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”).

Board Risk Oversight

We believe that risk management is an important part of establishing and executing on the Company’s business strategy. Our Board, as a whole and at the committee level, focuses its oversight on the most significant risks facing the Company and on its processes to identify, prioritize, assess, manage and mitigate those risks. The committees oversee specific risks within their purview, as follows:

        The Audit and Compliance Committee has overall responsibility for overseeing the Company’s practices with respect to risk assessment and management. Additionally, the committee is responsible for overseeing management of risks related to our financial statements and financial reporting processes, compliance, information technology and cybersecurity.

        The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing management of risks related to our compensation policies and programs.

        The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing management of risks related to director succession planning and corporate governance.

Our Board and its committees receive regular reports from members of the Company’s senior management on areas of material risk to the Company, including strategic, operational, financial, legal and regulatory risks. While our Board has an oversight role, management is principally tasked with direct responsibility for management and assessment of risks and the implementation of processes and controls to mitigate their effects on the Company.

Other Corporate Governance Practices and Policies

Director Attendance

The Board met 10 times during the year ended December 31, 2022. During 2022, each current member of the Board attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and the committees on which he or she served during the period in which he or she was on the Board or committee.

Directors are expected to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders absent unusual circumstances. Six directors then serving on the Board attended the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Communications with the Board

Stockholders and other interested parties may communicate with our Board or a particular director, including the Chairman of the Board, by sending a letter addressed to the Board or a particular director to our Corporate Secretary at the address set forth on the first page of this Proxy Statement. These communications will be compiled and reviewed by our Corporate Secretary, who will determine whether the communication is appropriate for presentation to the Board or the particular director. The purpose of this screening is to allow the Board to avoid having to consider irrelevant or inappropriate communications (such as advertisements, solicitations and hostile communications).

Code of Conduct

Our Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that establishes the standards of ethical conduct applicable to all our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. It addresses, among other matters, compliance with laws and policies, conflicts of interest, corporate opportunities, regulatory reporting, external communications, confidentiality requirements, insider trading, proper use of assets and how to report compliance concerns. A copy of the Code is available on our website located at https://ir.docgo.com/, under “Governance.” We intend to disclose any amendments to the Code, or any waivers of its requirements, on our website, to the extent required by applicable rules.

Anti-Hedging Policy

We have a policy that prohibits our employees, officers, directors, consultants and contractors and their family members and controlled entities (as defined in our insider trading policy) from engaging in (a) short-term trading; (b) short sales; (c) transactions involving publicly traded options or other derivatives, such as trading in puts or calls with respect to Company securities; and (d) all hedging transactions.

Compensation Committee Interlocks

None of the members of our Compensation Committee has at any time during the prior three years been one of our officers or employees. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past fiscal year has served, as a member of the board or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our Board or Compensation Committee.

Director Compensation

In consultation with Compensia, the Compensation Committee approved our director compensation program during 2022, which consisted of the following:

        Annual restricted stock unit (“RSU”) grant with a value of approximately $160,000, subject to one-year cliff vesting;

        One-time grant of stock options for newly appointed directors with a value of approximately $320,000, subject to ratable vesting over a three-year period; and

        Annual cash retainers for Mr. Katz, chair of the Audit and Compliance Committee, equal to $81,250, which consisted of: (i) $50,000 annual cash retainer for service on our Board, (ii) $20,000 additional annual cash retainer for service as chair of the Audit and Compliance Committee, (iii) $6,250 for service on the Compensation Committee and (iv) $5,000 for service on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

In accordance with our director compensation program, Ms. Leite received 81,425 stock options under the DocGo, Inc. 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) in connection with her appointment on November 17, 2022, which vest ratably over three years. Each other non-employee director received 23,088 RSUs under the 2021 Plan on December 15, 2022, which vest on the first anniversary thereof.

The table below sets forth the cash and other compensation earned by directors of our Company during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Mr. Vashovsky did not receive any compensation for his service as our Chairman. The compensation received by Mr. Vashovsky for his services to us as our Chief Executive Officer is presented in the 2022 Summary Compensation Table below.

Narrative Disclosure to the Summary Compensation Table

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, in consultation with Compensia, DocGo developed an executive compensation program that is designed to align executive compensation with DocGo’s business objectives and the creation of stockholder value, while enabling DocGo to attract, motivate and retain individuals who contribute to the long-term success of DocGo.

Decisions regarding executive compensation reflect our belief that the executive compensation program must be competitive in order to attract and retain our executive officers. The Compensation Committee seeks to implement our compensation policies and philosophies by linking a significant portion of our executive officers’ cash compensation to performance objectives and by providing a portion of their compensation as long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards. Compensation for our executive officers has three primary components: base salary, an annual cash incentive bonus and long-term incentive compensation.

Base Salary

We believe that base salary should be fair to the executive officers, competitive within the industry and reasonable in light of our cost structure. Other than establishing Mr. Bienstock’s base salary in connection with his appointment, no base salary changes were made during 2022. The base salaries for each of NEOs as of the end of 2022 is as follows:

Base Salary

Stan Vashovsky

571,000

Anthony Capone

 

$

425,000

Lee Bienstock

In early 2023, in connection with their promotions, Mr. Capone’s base salary was increased to $600,000 and Mr. Bienstock’s base salary was increased to $490,000.

Annual Bonuses

DocGo utilizes annual cash incentive bonuses for the executive officers to tie a portion of their compensation to financial and operational objectives achievable within the applicable fiscal year. Annual cash bonuses are administered by the Compensation Committee and, at beginning of each year, the Compensation Committee selects the performance targets, target amounts, target award opportunities and other terms and conditions of annual cash bonuses for the executive officers, subject to the terms of any employment agreement. Following the end of each year, the Compensation Committee determines the extent to which the performance targets were achieved and the amount of the award that is payable to the executive officers.

For 2022, the annual cash incentive performance was based on the Company’s achievement of revenue and adjusted EBITDA goals established at the beginning of 2022. Following the end of 2022, the Compensation Committee reviewed the Company’s performance against the goals and approved bonuses for the NEOs. The table below shows each NEO’s target annual cash incentive bonus and the final 2022 approved bonus for each NEO:

Long-Term Equity Compensation

DocGo utilizes stock options and RSUs to reward long-term performance of the executive officers. DocGo believes that providing a meaningful portion of the total compensation package in the form of long-term equity awards will align the incentives of its executive officers with the interests of its stockholders and serve to motivate and retain the individual executive officers. Long-term equity awards are granted under the 2021 Plan.

Employment Agreements

In connection with DocGo’s executive compensation program, each of Messrs.

The Employment Agreements provide for an initial term commencing on the closing date of the Business Combination and continuing for an initial term of 36 months, which will automatically renew for successive one-year terms thereafter unless either party gives written notice of non-extension to the other party at least 60 days prior to such renewal date. The Employment Agreements contain customary confidentiality, non-competition, customer non-solicitation and non-interference, and employee non-solicitation and non-interference covenants. In the event of certain terminations of employment the Employment Agreements include severance payments and benefits as described in more detail under “Additional Narrative Disclosure — Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

In connection with his appointment as Chief Operating Officer, we entered into an offer letter with Mr. Bienstock (the “Bienstock Offer Letter).

Additional Narrative Disclosure

Employee Benefits

The NEOs are eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans, including medical, dental, vision, life, disability, health and dependent care flexible spending accounts and accidental death and dismemberment benefit plans, in each case on the same basis as all of its other employees. DocGo does not maintain or sponsor any nonqualified deferred compensation plan or defined benefit pension plan. On January 1, 2022, DocGo adopted a tax-qualified defined contribution 401(k) plan which allows for eligible employees, including the NEOs, to defer portions of their eligible compensation up to limits established by the Internal Revenue Code. We did not provide for any matching or other company contributions under the 401(k) plan during 2022.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Employment Agreements

The Employment Agreements provide for the following severance benefits in connection with an “involuntary termination without cause” or a resignation for “good reason” (each a “Covered Termination” and as defined in the Employment Agreements) which does not occur during the period beginning three months prior to a “change in control” (as defined in the 2021 Plan) and ending 12 months after a change in control: (i) a cash payment equal to 12 months of the executive’s base salary payable in equal instalments over 12 months, (ii) a pro rata portion of the executive’s annual bonus for the fiscal year of termination based on actual achievement of the bonus objectives and the number of days the executive was employed during the fiscal year, (iii) payment or reimbursement for the premium for the executive and the executive’s covered dependents to maintain continued health coverage pursuant to the provisions of

COBRA through the earlier of (A) the 12-month anniversary of the date of the executive’s termination of employment and (B) the date the executive and the executive’s covered dependents, if any, become eligible for healthcare coverage under another employer’s plan(s) and (iv) accelerated vesting of the unvested portion of the Closing Grant that would have vested assuming that the executive remained employed by the Company through the date that is 12 months following the date of the executive’s termination of employment. In connection with a Covered Termination during the period beginning three (3) months prior to a Change in Control and ending 12 months after a Change in Control, each executive would be entitled to: (i) a lump sum cash payment equal to the sum of (A) the executive’s base salary and (B) the executive’s target bonus, (ii) a pro rata portion of the executive’s annual bonus for the fiscal year of termination based on actual achievement of the bonus objectives and the number of days the executive was employed during the fiscal year, (iii) the amount of any annual bonus earned, but not yet paid, for the fiscal year prior to the executive’s termination, (iv) payment or reimbursement for the premium for the executive and the executive’s covered dependents to maintain continued health coverage pursuant to the provisions of COBRA through the earlier of (A) the 12-month anniversary of the date of the executive’s termination of employment and (B) the date the executive and the executive’s covered dependents, if any, become eligible for healthcare coverage under another employer’s plan(s) and (v) full accelerated vesting of the unvested portion of the Closing Grant.

The Employment Agreements provide for a “best net” after-tax 280G provision where the NEO receives the best after-tax result but is not eligible to receive any tax gross-ups, to the extent any payments made pursuant to the Employment Agreements or otherwise would constitute a “parachute payment” under Internal Revenue Code Section 280G.

Stock Options Under the 2021 Plan

Under the option grant agreements for stock options granted under the 2021 Plan, in the event of an NEO’s termination as a result of death or disability, all unvested stock options will become fully vested and exercisable. In addition, in the event of a termination without cause on or within 24 months following a change in control, all unvested stock options will become fully vested and exercisable.

(4)      All other fees are the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of fiscal 2022 and 2021 for products and services provided by the auditor.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Our Audit and Compliance Committee has adopted procedures requiring the pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services performed by our independent auditor in order to assure that these services do not impair the auditor’s independence. These procedures generally approve the performance of specific services subject to a cost limit for all such services. This general approval is reviewed, and if necessary modified, at least annually. The committee does not delegate its responsibility to approve services performed by our auditor to any member of management. The committee has delegated authority to the committee chair to pre-approve any audit and non-audit services to be provided to us by our auditor, provided that the fees for such services do not exceed $250,000. Any approval of services by the committee chair pursuant to this delegated authority must be reported to the committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. All of the services and fees identified in the table above were approved pursuant to the pre-approval policy described in this paragraph.

Recent Changes in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Dismissal of Withum

As previously reported on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 12, 2021, following our Business Combination, the Audit and Compliance Committee on November 10, 2021 dismissed Withum as the Company’s independent auditor, effective as of that date. Withum’s audit report on Motion’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, its year of formation and sole reporting fiscal year, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainties, audit scope or accounting principles, except that such audit report emphasized the restatement of Motion’s financial statements due to its change in accounting for warrants. During the period from August 11, 2020 (Motion’s inception) through December 31, 2020, and the subsequent interim period through November 5, 2021, there were no disagreements between Motion and Withum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Withum, would have caused it to make reference to the

21

Table of Contents

subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on Motion’s financial statements for such year. During the period from August 11, 2020 (Motion’s inception) through December 31, 2020, and the subsequent interim period through November 5, 2021, there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act), except for a material weakness in Motion’s pre-Business Combination internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for warrants issued by Motion. Representatives of Withum are not expected to be present at the Annual Meeting.

Appointment of Urish

The Audit and Compliance Committee, on and effective as of November 10, 2021, appointed Urish as DocGo’s independent auditor for the year ended December 31, 2021. During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, and the subsequent interim period through November 10, 2021, neither DocGo, nor any party on behalf of DocGo, consulted with Urish with respect to either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of the audit opinion that might be rendered with respect to DocGo’s consolidated financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to DocGo by Urish that was an important factor considered by Urish in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was subject to any disagreement (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

Report of the Audit AND COMPLIANCE Committee

The Audit and Compliance Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 with the Company’s management and with Urish, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit and Compliance Committee has discussed with Urish the matters required to be discussed by the applicable standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the SEC. The Audit and Compliance Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from Urish pursuant to applicable PCAOB requirements regarding its communications with the Audit and Compliance Committee concerning independence, and the Audit and Compliance Committee has discussed with Urish its independence. Based on the foregoing, the Audit and Compliance Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for filing with the SEC.

PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR 2023

Our Audit and Compliance Committee has appointed Urish as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2023. In this Proposal 2 we are asking stockholders to vote to ratify this appointment. Urish has served as our independent auditor since November 2021 and has served as auditor of Ambulnz since April 2021. Representatives of Urish are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have the opportunity to make a statement, if they desire to do so, and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

Stockholder ratification of the appointment of Urish as the Company’s independent auditor is not required by law or our Bylaws. However, we are seeking stockholder ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If our stockholders fail to ratify the appointment of Urish, the committee will reconsider its selection. Even if the appointment is ratified, the committee, in its discretion, may direct the selection and appointment of a different independent auditor at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.

Board Recommendation

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Urish to serve as our independent auditor.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Related Person Transaction Policy

On November 5, 2021, our Board adopted a written policy regarding the review and approval or disapproval by our Audit and Compliance Committee of transactions between us, or any of our subsidiaries, and any related person (defined to include our executive officers, directors or director nominees, any stockholder beneficially owning in excess of 5% of our common stock or securities exchangeable for our common stock, and any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons) (the “Related Person Transaction Policy”). In reviewing related person transactions, our Audit and Compliance Committee considers all relevant facts and circumstances, including the extent of the related person’s direct or indirect interest in the transaction. Any member of the Audit and Compliance Committee who is a related person with respect to a transaction under review will not be permitted to participate in the deliberations or to vote on the transaction.

Certain related person transactions described below were consummated prior to our adoption of the formal, written policy described above, and, accordingly, the foregoing policies and procedures were not followed with respect to these transactions. However, we believe that the terms obtained and consideration that we paid or received, as applicable, in connection with the transactions described below were comparable to terms available or amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm’s-length transactions at such time. Further, our Audit and Compliance Committee has subsequently ratified these engagements. Any related person transactions entered into on or after November 5, 2021 have been pre-approved in accordance with our Related Person Transactions Policy.

Related Person Transactions — DocGo

Legal Services

Ambulnz has historically engaged the law practice of Ely D. Tendler Strategic and Legal Services, PLLC (“EDTSLS”) for outside general counsel services. Ely D. Tendler, principal of EDTSLS, is General Counsel and Secretary of the Company and a member of the Board. Pursuant to the Company’s arrangement with EDTSLS, Ambulnz was charged an hourly rate, ranging from $450 to $500 per hour, for the legal services rendered. On November 10, 2021, the Audit and Compliance Committee ratified this engagement pursuant to the Related Person Transaction Policy. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, the gross fees paid to EDTSLS were approximately $702,083 and $960,081, respectively. Mr. Tendler did not receive additional salary or other employment benefits for his role as General Counsel to the Company.

Medical Direction and Supervision Services

Since April 2020, affiliates of Dr. Mark Merlin, former Chief Medical Officer of Ambulnz Holdings, LLC from February 2019 to November 2022, and former employee of the Company, have provided Ambulnz Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries with medical direction and supervision services. On November 10, 2021, the Audit and Compliance Committee ratified this engagement pursuant to the Related Person Transaction Policy. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, the gross fees paid by us for these services were approximately $1,746,736 and $3,018,119, respectively.

Employment of Related Persons

Paul Capone, the brother of Mr. Capone, our CEO, is employed by DocGo as an IT Project Manager. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, he earned approximately $163,257 and $128,750, respectively, in total compensation.

Related Person Transactions — Motion

Founder Shares

On August 12, 2020, Mr. Burdiek, a current member of our Board and Motion’s then-serving Chief Executive Officer and director, paid certain offering costs, totaling an aggregate of $25,000, in exchange for the issuance of 3,737,500 shares of Motion’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares” and “Motion Class B Common Stock”), to Motion Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). On October 14, 2020, the Sponsor effected a surrender of 431,250 Founder Shares to Motion for no consideration, resulting in a decrease, from 3,737,500 to 3,306,250, in the total number of Motion Class B Common Stock outstanding. Further, on November 16, 2020, the underwriter of Motion’s October 2020 initial public offering (the “IPO”) advised Motion that it would not exercise its over-allotment option; and, consequently, the Sponsor forfeited an additional 431,250 Founder Shares, resulting in a decrease in Motion Class B Common Stock outstanding, from 3,306,250 to 2,875,000. After the IPO, Motion Class B Common Stock represented 20.0% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Motion Class B Common Stock and Motion Class A common stock on an aggregate basis.

On August 24, 2021, the Sponsor elected to convert all 2,875,000 Founder Shares into an aggregate of 2,875,000 shares of Motion’s Class A common stock, on a one-to-one basis pursuant to the terms of the Motion Class B Common Stock. In connection with the Closing, Motion filed its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, pursuant to which all shares of Motion’s Class A common stock were redesignated as shares of common stock of DocGo, par value $0.0001 per share (the “DocGo common stock”).

Concurrent with Motion’s IPO, the Sponsor and Motion’s directors and officers entered into a letter agreement with Motion and Barclays Capital Inc., whereby the Sponsor and Motion’s directors and officers agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the shares of Motion Class B Common Stock (which was converted on a one-for-one basis into Motion Class A common stock prior to the Closing) until the earlier of: (a) November 5, 2022 (one year after the Closing Date) and (b) subsequent to the Closing (x) the date on which the last reported sale price of DocGo common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading-day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing or (y) the date on which DocGo completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of DocGo’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of DocGo common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Private Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 2,533,333 warrants to purchase shares of Motion Class A common stock (the “Private Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Warrant, for an aggregate of $3.8 million. In connection with the Closing, and pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”), dated October 14, 2020, by and between Motion and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, each Private Warrant was exercisable for one share of DocGo common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Warrants was added to the proceeds from the IPO, and both were held in a trust account that became available following the Closing. The Private Warrants were non-redeemable for cash (subject to certain exceptions) and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they were held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. On September 16, 2022, the Company redeemed all outstanding Private Warrants.

On August 15, 2022, the Company announced the redemption of all of its outstanding warrants under the Warrant Agreement, dated as of October 14, 2020, by and between Motion and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, on the redemption date of September 16, 2022 (the “Redemption Date”). Immediately prior to the Redemption Date, pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, each of Travers Holdings LLC (“Travers Holdings”), an entity controlled by DocGo director, James M. Travers and his wife, and Michael Burdiek, a DocGo director, exercised their 443,432 Private Warrants and 434,437 Private Warrants, respectively, and acquired DocGo common stock on a cashless basis at a conversion ratio of 0.2233 shares of DocGo common stock per Private Warrant. The aggregate number of warrants surrendered for exercise on a cashless basis, including Private Warrants, resulted in the issuance of 1,406,371 shares of DocGo common stock and a total of 68,514 warrants were not surrendered on the Redemption Date and were redeemed for $0.10 per warrant.

Amended and Restated Sponsor Agreement and Sponsor Escrow Agreement

On November 4, 2021, Motion, the Sponsor and Ambulnz entered into an Amended and Restated Sponsor Agreement (the “A&R Sponsor Agreement”), whereby the Sponsor agreed, among other things, to forfeit and defer certain of its shares of Motion’s Class A common stock. Pursuant to the A&R Sponsor Agreement, at Closing, the Sponsor forfeited 301,787 shares of DocGo common stock and deferred 162,965 shares of DocGo common stock (the “Additional Earnout Shares”), to be held pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Escrow Agreement (as defined below).

On November 5, 2021, Sponsor, Motion and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent, entered into a Sponsor Escrow Agreement (the “Sponsor Escrow Agreement”), whereby, immediately following the Closing, the Sponsor deposited (i) 575,000 shares of DocGo common stock (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”) and (ii) 162,965 shares of the Additional Earnout Shares into escrow. The Sponsor Escrow Agreement provides that such Sponsor Earnout Shares will either be released to the Sponsor or terminated and canceled by DocGo if certain stock price conditions are met or not, as follows: (i) with respect to 287,500 Sponsor Earnout Shares, the closing stock price equals or exceeds $12.50 per share on any twenty (20) trading days in a 30-trading-day period at any time until the third anniversary of the Closing Date, and (ii) with respect to 287,500 Sponsor Earnout Shares, the closing stock price equals or exceeds $15.00 per share on any twenty (20) trading days in a 30-trading-day period at any time until the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date. Additional Earnout Shares will be released to the Sponsor or terminated and cancelled by DocGo if certain price conditions are met or not, as follows: (i) 25% of the Additional Earnout Shares if the closing price of DocGo common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) on any twenty (20) trading days in a thirty (30)-trading-day period at any time after the Closing Date and by the first anniversary of the Closing Date; (ii) an additional 25% of the Additional Earnout Shares if the closing price of DocGo common stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) on any twenty (20) trading days in a thirty (30)-trading-day period at any time after the Closing Date and by the third anniversary of the Closing Date; (iii) an additional 25% of the Additional Earnout Shares if the closing price of DocGo common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) on any twenty (20) trading days in a thirty (30)-trading-day period at any time after the Closing Date and by the third anniversary of the Closing Date; and (iv) the remaining 25% of the Additional Earnout Shares if the closing price of DocGo common stock equals or exceeds $21.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) on any twenty (20) trading days in a thirty (30)-trading-day period at any time after the Closing Date and by the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date.

On July 27, 2022, Sponsor made a pro rata distribution of all of its shares of DocGo common stock and Private Warrants to its members and interest holders. As part of this distribution, (i) Travers Holdings, a member and interest holder of the Sponsor, received 424,140 shares of DocGo common stock and 443,432 Private Placement Warrants and (ii) Michael Burdiek, a member and interest holder of Sponsor, received 415,537 shares of DocGo common stock and 434,437 Private Warrants. In connection with such distribution, each of Travers Holdings, Mr. Burdiek, and certain of the other interest holders and members of Sponsor entered into joinders to the Sponsor Escrow Agreement and A&R Sponsor Agreement, whereby, among other things, the recipients of the Sponsor Earnout Shares and the Additional Earnout Shares agreed to the forfeiture provisions with respect to such shares as set forth above. At the time of the execution of the joinders, Travers Holdings held 100,648 Sponsor Earnout Shares and 28,524 Additional Earnout Shares and Mr. Burdiek held 98,606 Sponsor Earnout Shares and 27,946 Additional Earnout Shares.

On November 5, 2022, the first anniversary of the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Escrow Agreement, parties to the Stock Escrow Agreement forfeited 40,199 Additional Earnout Shares for no consideration, inclusive of the 7,131 and 6,986 Additional Earnout Shares held by Travers Holdings and Mr. Burdiek, respectively.

Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement

Immediately prior to the Closing, Sponsor, Motion and certain Ambulnz equityholders entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “A&R Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, Motion agreed to register shares of DocGo common stock and Private Warrants for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, after the lapse or expiration of any transfer restrictions, lock-up or escrow provisions which may apply to the registrable securities held by Sponsor and those certain Ambulnz equityholders (including those shares of DocGo common stock issuable upon exercise of those certain options of Ambulnz which were converted at the Closing into options of DocGo to acquire shares of DocGo common stock). Other stockholders of DocGo may have piggyback registration rights, and may also participate in any such registration, subject to customary cutbacks in an underwritten offering. Certain shares and warrants held by the Sponsor and certain Ambulnz equityholders have been registered pursuant to a registration statement filed with the SEC.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND VOTING

1.      What Is the Purpose of These Proxy Materials?

We are making these Proxy Materials available to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our Board for use at the Annual Meeting to be held virtually on June 20, 2023 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, or at any other time following adjournment or postponement thereof. You are invited to participate in the Annual Meeting and to vote on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement. The Proxy Materials are first being made available to our stockholders on or about April 26, 2023.

2.      Why Did I Receive a Notice of Internet Availability?

Pursuant to SEC rules, we are furnishing the Proxy Materials to our stockholders primarily via the Internet instead of mailing printed copies. This process allows us to expedite our stockholders’ receipt of Proxy Materials, lower the costs of printing and mailing the Proxy Materials and reduce the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting. If you received a Notice, you will not receive a printed copy of the Proxy Materials unless you request one. The Notice provides instructions on how to access the Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting via the Internet, how to request a printed set of Proxy Materials and how to vote your shares.

3.      Why Are We Holding a Virtual Annual Meeting?

We have adopted a virtual meeting format for the Annual Meeting to provide a consistent experience to all stockholders regardless of geographic location. We believe this expands stockholder access, improves communications and lowers our costs while reducing the environmental impact of the meeting. In structuring our virtual Annual Meeting, our goal is to enhance rather than constrain stockholder participation in the meeting, and we have designed the meeting to provide stockholders with the same rights and opportunities to participate as they would have at an in-person meeting. Stockholders of record will be able to submit questions online during the meeting. Questions must comply with the meeting rules of conduct; the rules of conduct will be posted on the virtual meeting website.

4.      Who Can Vote?

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on April 21, 2023, the Record Date, are entitled to notice of the Annual Meeting and to vote on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement. At the close of business on the Record Date, 103,094,884 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding.

5.      What Is the Difference between Holding Shares as a Registered Stockholder and as a Beneficial Owner?

Registered Stockholder: Shares Registered in Your Name

If your shares of common stock are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are considered to be, with respect to those shares of common stock, the registered stockholder, and the Notice and/or these Proxy Materials are being sent directly to you by us.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Fiduciary or Custodian

If your shares of common stock are held by a broker, fiduciary, custodian or another nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares of common stock held in “street name,” and the Notice and/or these Proxy Materials are being forwarded to you from that broker, fiduciary, custodian or another nominee.

6.      How Can I Participate in the Virtual Annual Meeting?

Stockholders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to participate in and vote at the Annual Meeting. To participate in the Annual Meeting, including to vote, ask questions and view the list of registered stockholders as of the Record Date during the meeting, stockholders of record should go to the meeting website at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/DCGO2023, enter the 16-digit control number found on your proxy card or Notice, and follow the instructions on the website. If your shares are held in street name and your voting instruction form or Notice indicates that you may vote those shares through www.proxyvote.com, then you may access, participate in and vote at the Annual Meeting with the 16-digit access code indicated on that voting instruction form or Notice.

31

Table of Contents

Otherwise, stockholders who hold their shares in street name should contact their bank, broker or other nominee (preferably at least five days before the Annual Meeting) and obtain a “legal proxy” in order to be able to attend, participate in or vote at the Annual Meeting.

We will endeavor to answer as many stockholder-submitted questions as time permits that comply with the Annual Meeting rules of conduct. We reserve the right to edit profanity or other inappropriate language and to exclude questions regarding topics that are not pertinent to meeting matters or Company business. If we receive substantially similar questions, we may group such questions together and provide a single response to avoid repetition.

The meeting webcast will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Online check-in will begin approximately 15 minutes before then, and we encourage you to allow ample time for check-in procedures. If you experience technical difficulties during the check-in process or during the meeting, please call the number listed on the meeting website for technical support. Additional information regarding the rules and procedures for participating in the Annual Meeting will be set forth in our meeting rules of conduct, which stockholders can view during the meeting at the Annual Meeting’s website.

7.      What Am I Voting on?

The proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting are as follows:

(1)    Election of two Class II director nominees named in the Proxy Statement to serve until the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified (“Proposal 1”); and

(2)    Ratification of the appointment of Urish Popeck & Co., LLC as the Company’s independent auditor for 2023 (“Proposal 2”).

8.      How Does the Board Recommend That I Vote?

The Board recommends that you vote your shares “FOR ALL” director nominees named in Proposal 1 and “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Urish Popeck & Co., LLC as our independent auditor in Proposal 2.

9.      How Many Votes Do I Have?

Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on each proposal to be voted on at the Annual Meeting.

10.    What Does It Mean If I Receive More Than One Set of Proxy Materials?

If you receive more than one set of Proxy Materials, your shares may be registered in more than one name or held in different accounts. Please cast your vote with respect to each set of Proxy Materials that you receive to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

11.    How Do I Vote?

Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you also submit your vote as early as possible in advance so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to, or are unable to, virtually attend the Annual Meeting.

Registered Stockholder: Shares Registered in Your Name

If you are the registered stockholder, you may vote your shares online during the virtual Annual Meeting (see “How Can I Participate in the Virtual Annual Meeting?” above) or by proxy in advance of the Annual Meeting by Internet (at www.proxyvote.com), by telephone (at 1-800-690-6903) in accordance with instructions on your proxy card or, if you requested paper copies of the Proxy Materials, by completing and mailing a proxy card.

32

Table of Contents

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Fiduciary, Custodian or Another Nominee

If you are the beneficial owner, you may vote your shares online during the virtual Annual Meeting (see “How Can I Participate in the Virtual Annual Meeting?” above) or you may direct your broker, fiduciary, custodian or another nominee how to vote in advance of the Annual Meeting by following the instructions they provide.

12.    What Happens If I Do Not Vote?

Registered Stockholder: Shares Registered in Your Name

If you are the registered stockholder and do not vote in one of the ways described above, your shares will not be voted at the Annual Meeting and will not be counted toward the quorum requirement.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Fiduciary or Custodian

If you are the beneficial owner and do not direct your broker, fiduciary, custodian or another nominee how to vote your shares, your broker, fiduciary or custodian will only be able to vote your shares with respect to proposals considered to be “routine.” Your broker, fiduciary, custodian or another nominee is not entitled to vote your shares with respect to “non-routine” proposals. In the latter case, we will have what we refer to as a “broker non-vote.” Whether a proposal is considered routine or non-routine is subject to stock exchange rules and final determination by the stock exchange. Even with respect to routine matters, some brokers are choosing not to exercise discretionary voting authority. As a result, we urge you to direct your broker, fiduciary, custodian or another nominee how to vote your shares to ensure that your vote is counted. At this time, we expect that brokers or other nominees will be able to exercise discretion only with respect to Proposal 2.

13.    What If I Sign and Return a Proxy Card or Otherwise Vote but Do Not Indicate Specific Choices?

Registered Stockholder: Shares Registered in Your Name

The shares represented by each signed and returned proxy will be voted at the Annual Meeting by the persons named as proxies in the proxy card in accordance with the instructions indicated on the proxy card. However, if you are the registered stockholder and sign and return your proxy card without giving specific instructions, the persons named as proxies in the proxy card will vote your shares in accordance with the recommendations of the Board.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Fiduciary or Custodian

If you are the beneficial owner and sign and return your voting instruction form without giving specific instructions, your broker, fiduciary, custodian or another nominee will only be able (but is not going to be required) to vote your shares with respect to proposals considered to be “routine.” As mentioned above, your broker, fiduciary, custodian or another nominee is not entitled to vote your shares with respect to “non-routine” proposals, resulting in broker non-votes with respect to such proposals.

14.    Can I Change My Vote after I Submit My Proxy?

Registered Stockholder: Shares Registered in Your Name

If you are the registered stockholder, you may revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting in any one of the following ways:

(1)    You may complete and submit a new proxy card, but it must bear a later date than the original proxy card;

(2)    You may submit new proxy instructions via telephone or the Internet;

(3)    You may send a timely written notice that you are revoking your proxy to our Corporate Secretary at the address set forth on the first page of this Proxy Statement; or

(4)    You may vote by attending the Annual Meeting virtually. However, your virtual attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

Your last submitted vote is the one that will be counted.

33

Table of Contents

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Fiduciary or Custodian

If you are the beneficial owner, you must follow the instructions you receive from your broker, fiduciary, custodian or another nominee with respect to changing your vote.

15.    What Is the Quorum Requirement?

The holders of a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting must be present at the Annual Meeting, either virtually or represented by proxy, to constitute a quorum. A quorum is required to transact business at the Annual Meeting.

Your shares will be counted toward the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or a valid proxy is submitted on your behalf by your broker, fiduciary, custodian or another nominee) or if you attend the Annual Meeting virtually and vote. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will be counted toward the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, the chairman of the Annual Meeting or the holders of a majority of shares of common stock virtually present at the Annual Meeting, either personally or by proxy, may adjourn the Annual Meeting to another time or date.

16.    How Many Votes Are Required to Approve Each Proposal and How Are Votes Counted?

Votes will be counted by Broadridge Financial Solutions, the Inspector of Elections appointed for the Annual Meeting.

Proposal 1: Election of Directors

A nominee will be elected as a director at the Annual Meeting if the nominee receives a plurality of the votes cast “FOR” his or her election. “Plurality” means that the individuals who receive the largest number of votes cast “FOR” are elected as directors. Broker non-votes, if any, and votes that are withheld will not be counted as votes cast on the proposal and will have no effect on the outcome of the election. Stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights for the election of directors.

Proposal 2: Ratification of Independent Auditor Appointment

The affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power of the stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter is required for the ratification of the appointment of Urish Popeck & Co., LLC as our independent auditor. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal. We do not expect there to be any broker non-votes with respect to this proposal; otherwise, they would have no impact on the outcome of this proposal.

17.    What If Another Matter Is Properly Brought before the Annual Meeting?

As of the date of filing this Proxy Statement, the Board knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named as proxies in the proxy card to vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

18.    Who Is Paying for This Proxy Solicitation?

We will pay the costs associated with the solicitation of proxies, including the preparation, assembly, printing and mailing of the Proxy Materials. We may also reimburse brokers, fiduciaries or custodians for the cost of forwarding Proxy Materials to beneficial owners of shares of common stock held in “street name.” Proxies may be solicited on our behalf by our directors, officers and other selected Company employees telephonically, electronically or by other means of communication, and by Morrow Sodali LLC, 333 Ludlow Street, Fifth Floor, South Tower, Stamford, Connecticut 06902 whom we have hired to assist in the solicitation of proxies. Morrow Sodali LLC will receive a fee of $7,500, plus reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, for its services. Brokerage houses, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians will be requested to forward soliciting materials to beneficial owners and will be reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in sending the materials to beneficial owners.

34

Table of Contents

Our employees, officers and directors may solicit proxies in person or via telephone or the Internet. We will not pay additional compensation for any of these services.

19.    How Can I View the List of Stockholders?

To view the list of stockholders as of the Record Date during the Annual Meeting, stockholders of record should go to the Annual Meeting website at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/DCGO2023, enter the 16-digit control number found on your proxy card or Notice, and follow the instructions on the website.

If your shares are held in street name and your Notice or voting instruction form indicates that you may vote those shares through the www.proxyvote.com website, then you may view the list of stockholders of record with the 16-digit access code indicated on that voting instruction form or Notice. Otherwise, stockholders who hold their shares in street name should contact their bank, broker or other nominee (preferably at least five days before the Annual Meeting) and obtain a “legal proxy” in order to be able to view the list of stockholders of record during the Annual Meeting.

In addition, during the ten days prior to the Annual Meeting, a list of stockholders of record will be available at our principal executive offices located at 35 West 35th Street, Floor 6, New York, New York 10001.

20.    How Can I Find out the Voting Results?

We expect to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. Final voting results will be published in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting.

OTHER MATTERS

Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations for Next Year’s Annual Meeting

Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, stockholders who wish to submit proposals for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must send such proposals to our Corporate Secretary at the address set forth on the first page of this Proxy Statement. Such proposals must be received by us as of the close of business (6:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on December 28, 2023 and must comply with Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act. Such proposals may or may not be included in the proxy statement.

As set forth in our Bylaws, if a stockholder intends to make a nomination for director election or present a proposal for other business (other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act) at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the stockholder’s notice must be received by our Corporate Secretary at the address set forth on the first page of this Proxy Statement no earlier than the 120th day and no later than the 90th day before the anniversary of the last annual meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, the stockholder’s notice must be delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting by the Company. Therefore, unless the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the anniversary of the Annual Meeting, notice of proposed nominations or proposals (other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act) must be received by our Corporate Secretary no earlier than February 21, 2024 and no later than the close of business (6:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on March 22, 2024. Any such director nomination or stockholder proposal must be a proper matter for stockholder action and must comply with the terms and conditions set forth in our Bylaws. If a stockholder fails to meet these deadlines and fails to satisfy the requirements of Rule 14a-4 of the Exchange Act, we may exercise discretionary voting authority under proxies we solicit to vote on any such proposal as we determine appropriate. In addition to satisfying the deadlines in the advance notice provisions of our Bylaws, a stockholder who intends to solicit proxies in support of nominees submitted under these advance notice provisions for the 2024 Annual Meeting must provide the notice required under Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act to our Corporate Secretary in writing not later than the close of business (6:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on April 22, 2024.

Delivery of Documents to Stockholders Sharing an Address

A number of brokerage firms have adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called “householding.” Under this procedure, certain stockholders who have the same address and do not participate in electronic delivery of Proxy Materials will receive only one copy of the Proxy Materials, including this Proxy Statement, the Notice and our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2022, until such time as one or more of these stockholders notifies us that they wish to receive individual copies. This procedure helps to reduce duplicate mailings and save printing costs and postage fees, as well as natural resources. If you received a “householding” mailing this year and would like to have additional copies of the Proxy Materials mailed to you, please send a written request to our Corporate Secretary at the address set forth on the first page of this Proxy Statement, or call (844) 443-6246, and we will promptly deliver the Proxy Materials to you. Please contact your broker if you received multiple copies of the Proxy Materials and would prefer to receive a single copy in the future, or if you would like to opt out of “householding” for future mailings.

Availability of Additional Information

We will provide, free of charge, a copy of our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2022, including exhibits, on the written or oral request of any stockholder of the Company. Please send a written request to our Corporate Secretary at the address set forth on the first page of this Proxy Statement or call the number above.
