  • DocGo's indebtedness could require that it dedicate a portion of its cash flows to debt service obligations and reduce the funds that would otherwise be available for other general corporate purposes and other business opportunities, which could adversely affect DocGo's operating performance, growth, profitability and financial condition, which in turn could make it more difficult for it to generate cash flow sufficient to satisfy all of its obligations under its indebtedness.
  • Nasdaq may delist DocGo's securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors' ability to make transactions in its securities and subject DocGo to additional trading restrictions.
