Risk Change Over Time
- Employment / Personnel - Risk 1DocGo's labor costs are significant and any inability to control those costs could adversely affect its business.
Labor expenses (which includes both directly employed personnel as well as subcontracted labor) are DocGo's largest cost, representing approximately 77%, 68% and 73% of its 2025, 2024 and 2023 revenues, respectively. DocGo competes with other healthcare providers in a highly competitive labor market to attract healthcare professionals, including EMTs, paramedics and nurses, to support its operations. In some markets in which DocGo operates, the lack of availability of clinical personnel has become a significant operating issue that all healthcare providers face. This labor shortage has required, and could continue in the future to require, DocGo to increase wages and benefits to recruit and retain qualified personnel or to identify and contract with more expensive temporary personnel. DocGo also depends on the available labor pool of technology-skilled workers in certain of the markets in which it operates. If DocGo's labor costs increase, it may be unable to raise rates to offset these increased costs. In particular, because a significant percentage of DocGo's revenue consists of fixed, prospective payments, its ability to pass along increased labor costs is limited. If labor costs rise at an annual rate greater than its revenues, DocGo's results of operations and cash flows will likely be adversely affected. In addition, a small portion of DocGo's U.S. employees have recently voted to unionize, and additional union activity may occur within DocGo's workforce in the future, which could contribute to increased labor costs. Certain proposed changes in federal labor laws and the National Labor Relations Board's modification of its election procedures could also increase the likelihood of employee unionization attempts. To the extent a significant portion of its employee base unionizes, it is possible DocGo's labor costs could increase materially. DocGo's failure to recruit and retain qualified healthcare professionals, or to control labor costs, could have a material adverse effect on DocGo's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 72
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about DocGo's business or if they downgrade the Common Stock or DocGo's sector, DocGo's stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for Common Stock relies in part on the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about DocGo or its business. DocGo does not control these analysts. In addition, some financial analysts may have limited expertise with DocGo's model and operations. If one or more of the analysts who do cover DocGo downgrade its stock or industry, or the stock of any of its competitors, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about its business, the price of Common Stock could decline. Furthermore, if one or more of these analysts cease coverage of DocGo or fail to publish reports on it regularly, DocGo could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause its stock price or trading volume to decline.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Future sales, or the perception of future sales, by DocGo or its stockholders in the public market could cause the market price for Common Stock to decline.
The sale of shares of Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, by senior executives, directors and significant stockholders could harm the prevailing market price of shares of Common Stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for DocGo to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that it deems appropriate. In addition, the shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under DocGo's equity incentive plans will become eligible for sale in the public market once those shares are issued, subject to provisions relating to various vesting agreements and, in some cases, limitations on volume and manner of sale applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under its equity incentive plans represents approximately 17.1% of outstanding Common Stock as of December 31, 2025. The compensation committee of the Board may determine the exact number of shares to be reserved for future issuance under its equity incentive plans at its discretion. DocGo has filed Registration Statements on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register shares of Common Stock and securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to DocGo's equity incentive plan and may file additional registration statements on Form S-8 in the future. Any such Form S-8 registration statements will automatically become effective upon filing. Accordingly, shares registered under such registration statements will be available for sale in the open market. In the future, DocGo may also issue its securities in connection with investments or acquisitions. The number of shares of Common Stock issued in connection with an investment or acquisition could constitute a material portion of DocGo's then-outstanding shares of Common Stock. Any issuance of additional securities in connection with investments or acquisitions may result in additional dilution to DocGo's stockholders.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3DocGo's share repurchase program may subject it to certain risks, and DocGo cannot provide any guarantees that it will repurchase Common Stock pursuant to its share repurchase program.
DocGo has adopted a share repurchase program to repurchase shares of its Common Stock. Although the Board has authorized the share repurchase program, the timing, manner, price and amount of any Common Stock repurchases will be determined by the Company in its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. DocGo's share repurchase program does not obligate it to acquire any Common Stock, and DocGo may discontinue the program at any time. If DocGo fails to meet any expectations related to share repurchases, it could have a material adverse impact on investor confidence and the market price of the Common Stock could decline. Additionally, price volatility of the Common Stock over a given period may cause the average price at which DocGo repurchases Common Stock to exceed the stock's market price at a given point in time. Any reduction or discontinuance by DocGo of repurchases of its Common Stock pursuant to its current share repurchase program could cause the market price of its Common Stock to decline. Moreover, in the event DocGo's repurchases of its Common Stock are reduced or discontinued, its failure or inability to resume repurchasing Common Stock at historical levels could result in a lower market valuation of its Common Stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4Anti-takeover provisions in DocGo's organizational documents could delay or prevent a change of control.
Certain provisions of DocGo's certificate of incorporation (as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time) and bylaws (as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time) may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a merger, acquisition, tender offer, takeover attempt or other change of control transaction that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by DocGo's stockholders. These provisions provide for, among other things: - a classified board of directors;- the ability of the Board to issue one or more series of preferred stock;- advance notice for nominations of directors by stockholders and for stockholders to include matters to be considered at DocGo's annual meetings;- certain limitations on convening special stockholder meetings;- limiting the ability of stockholders to act by written consent;- supermajority provisions to amend the bylaws and certain sections of the certificate of incorporation; and - providing the Board with express authority to make, alter or repeal the bylaws. These anti-takeover provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire DocGo, even if the third party's offer may be considered beneficial by many of DocGo's stockholders. As a result, DocGo's stockholders may be limited in their ability to obtain a premium for their shares. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors of your choosing and to cause DocGo to take other corporate actions you desire.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5DocGo's certificate of incorporation designates, subject to limited exceptions, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by stockholders and the federal district courts as the sole and exclusive forum for Securities Act claims, which could limit stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with DocGo or its directors, officers, employees or stockholders.
DocGo's certificate of incorporation provides that, unless DocGo, in writing, selects or consents to the selection of an alternative forum: (a) the sole and exclusive forum for any complaint asserting any internal corporate claims, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and subject to applicable jurisdictional requirements, is the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have, or declines to accept, jurisdiction, another state court or a federal court located within the State of Delaware) and (b) the sole and exclusive forum for any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be the federal district courts of the U.S.; provided however, these provisions of the certificate of incorporation will not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act (as explained below). As a result, any (1) derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of DocGo, (2) action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, stockholder or employee to DocGo or its stockholders, (3) action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or DocGo's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or (4) action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be exclusively brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have, or declines to accept, jurisdiction, another state court or a federal court located within the State of Delaware). Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of DocGo's capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation described above. This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with DocGo or its directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against DocGo and its directors, officers and employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find these provisions of DocGo's certificate of incorporation inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, DocGo may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect DocGo's business and financial condition. DocGo's certificate of incorporation provides that the exclusive forum provision is applicable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, subject to certain exceptions. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision does not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6The market price and trading volume of Common Stock may be volatile, and the value of Common Stock has declined and could continue to decline.
Stock markets, including Nasdaq, have from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. The market price of the Common Stock has been and may continue to be volatile and has declined and could continue to decline significantly, whether due to matters specific to DocGo or to general market conditions. In addition, the trading volume in Common Stock may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. If the market price of the Common Stock declines significantly, you may be unable to resell your shares of Common Stock at or above the market price of Common Stock. DocGo cannot assure you that the market price of Common Stock will not fluctuate widely or decline significantly in the future in response to a number of factors, including, among others, the following: - the realization of any of the risk factors presented in this Annual Report;- actual or anticipated differences in DocGo's estimates, or in the estimates of analysts, for DocGo's revenues, results of operations, level of indebtedness, liquidity or financial condition;- additions and departures of key personnel;- failure to comply with the requirements of the Nasdaq;- failure to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or other laws or regulations;- future issuances, sales or resales, or anticipated issuances, sales or resales, of Common Stock;- DocGo's inability to execute its share repurchase program as planned, including failure to meet internal or external expectations around the timing or price of share repurchases, and any reductions or discontinuances of repurchases thereunder;- perceptions of the investment opportunity associated with Common Stock relative to other investment alternatives;- the performance and market valuations of other similar companies;- future announcements concerning DocGo's business or its competitors' businesses;- broad disruptions in the financial markets, including sudden disruptions in the credit markets;- speculation in the press or investment community;- actions and investment positions taken by institutional investors and other stockholders;- attacks by short sellers or substantial short interest in Common Stock;- negative publicity regarding DocGo's business;- actual, potential or perceived control, accounting or reporting problems;- changes in accounting principles, policies and guidelines; and - general macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, such as the effects of health crises; recessionary fears, rising interest rates and inflationary environment; local and national elections; fuel prices; international currency fluctuations; U.S. relations with other countries; corruption or political instability, including the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East and rising tensions in the Taiwan Strait; and acts of war or terrorism. In the past, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. DocGo is subject to, and may in the future be subject to, such litigation. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert DocGo's management's attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on DocGo.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7Future issuances of debt securities and equity securities may adversely affect DocGo, including the market price of Common Stock and may be dilutive to existing stockholders.
There is no assurance that DocGo will not incur debt or issue equity ranking senior to Common Stock. Those securities will generally have priority upon liquidation. Such securities also may be governed by an indenture or other instrument containing covenants restricting DocGo's operating flexibility. Additionally, any convertible or exchangeable securities that DocGo issues in the future may have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable than those of Common Stock. Separately, additional financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. Because DocGo's decision to issue debt or equity in the future will depend on market conditions and other factors, it cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, nature or success of DocGo's future capital raising efforts. As a result, future capital raising efforts may reduce the market price of Common Stock and be dilutive to existing stockholders.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8Nasdaq 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.
The Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol "DCGO." DocGo is required to meet continued listing requirements for its securities to continue to be listed on Nasdaq, including having a minimum number of public securities holders and a minimum stock price. On January 26, 2026, DocGo received a letter (the "Notice") from the Listing Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of Nasdaq notifying DocGo that, based upon the closing bid price of the Common Stock from December 9, 2025 to January 23, 2026, DocGo is not currently in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires DocGo to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the "Minimum Bid Requirement"). The Notice had no immediate effect on the continued listing status of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market, and therefore, DocGo's listing remains fully effective. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), DocGo has a period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice-or until July 27, 2026-to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid of the Common Stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days prior to July 27, 2026. If DocGo is not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement by July 27, 2026, DocGo may be eligible for a second 180 calendar day compliance period. To qualify, DocGo will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Requirement, and DocGo would be required to notify Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, which may include effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If DocGo meets these requirements, Nasdaq will inform DocGo that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar days. However, if it appears to the Staff that DocGo will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if DocGo is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice that DocGo's securities are subject to delisting. DocGo would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. DocGo intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of the Common Stock and will evaluate available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement, including initiating a reverse stock split. However, there can be no assurance that DocGo will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement during the 180 day compliance period, secure a second period of 180 days to regain compliance, or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements, If Nasdaq delists DocGo's securities from trading on its exchange and DocGo is not able to list its securities on another national securities exchange, DocGo expects its securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, it could face significant material adverse consequences, including: - a limited availability of market quotations for its securities;- reduced liquidity for its securities;- a determination that the Common Stock is a "penny stock" which will require brokers trading in Common Stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for its securities;- a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and - a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
