Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of DFP and The Oncology Institute. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the outcome of judicial and administrative proceedings to which The Oncology Institute may become a party or governmental investigations to which The Oncology Institute may become subject that could interrupt or limit The Oncology Institute’s operations, result in adverse judgments, settlements or fines and create negative publicity; changes in The Oncology Institute’s clients’ preferences, prospects and the competitive conditions prevailing in the healthcare sector; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed business combination, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed business combination or that the approval of the stockholders of DFP and/or the equity holders of The Oncology Institute for the proposed business combination is not obtained; failure to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the business combination; costs related to the business combination; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination, including as a result of a delay in consummating the proposed business combination or a delay or difficulty in integrating the businesses of DFP and The Oncology Institute; the amount of redemption requests made by DFP’s stockholders; the impact of COVID-19 on the combined company’s business and/or the ability of the parties to complete the proposed Business Combination; those factors discussed in DFP’s registration statement on Form S-1, which was initially filed with the SEC on February 21, 2020, under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents of DFP filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If the risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.

Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved.
