Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on October 5, 2022, Digital Transformation Opportunities Corp., a Delaware corporation (“DTOC”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement, which was subsequently amended and restated on January 6, 2023, April 27, 2023 and June 14, 2023, with American Oncology Network, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“AON”), pursuant to which the combined company will be organized in an umbrella partnership C corporation structure, in which substantially all of the assets and the business of the combined company will be held by AON (the “Business Combination”). Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the members of AON will include DTOC and current common unitholders of AON, and DTOC will be renamed American Oncology Network, Inc. (“New AON”).

As previously disclosed, the Board of Managers of AON has authorized and approved the issuance to its employees (which includes certain employees of AON that are holders of practice profit pool interests) of up to 460 AON Class B-1 units (as defined below) that have the same rights, terms and restrictions of the other Class B units of AON issued and outstanding under AON’s operating agreement, but that will vest only upon the consummation of the Business Combination (the “AON Class B-1 units”). To incentivize retention of AON employees following the consummation of the Business Combination and further align the interests of AON employees with those of stockholders, DTOC has offered to the holders of AON Class B-1 units to exchange, as of immediately prior to the adoption of the Amended and Restated LLC Agreement of AON (the “Amended and Restated AON LLC Agreement”), a number of newly issued shares of Class A common stock of New AON (the “New AON Class A common stock”) equal to the net equity value of AON (without taking into account any AON Class B-1 units participating in the Exchange Offer (as defined below)) divided by $10.00 (the “Per Company Unit Exchange Ratio”) for each AON Class B-1 unit held by such holder (such offer, the “Exchange Offer”). Concurrently with the Exchange Offer, DTOC and AON have also solicited consents from the holders of AON Class B-1 units to certain amendments to the terms of the awards and the unit grant agreements pursuant to which the AON Class B-1 units were granted (the “Consent Solicitation”) to provide for the automatic exchange, as of immediately prior to the adoption of the Amended and Restated AON LLC Agreement, of all AON Class B-1 units not otherwise tendered in the Exchange Offer into a number of newly issued shares of New AON Class A common stock equal to the Per Company Unit Exchange Ratio for each AON Class B-1 unit held by each applicable holder (collectively, the “Proposed Amendments”). The tender of AON Class B-1 units in the Exchange Offer is deemed automatically to constitute delivery of a consent by the holder of such units to the Proposed Amendments.

The Exchange Offer expired at midnight, Eastern time, on August 15, 2023. According to information provided by AON, the exchange agent for the Exchange Offer, 401 AON Class B-1 units, representing approximately 99% of the issued and outstanding AON Class B-1 units, were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer, and, as a result of the foregoing, DTOC and AON received the sufficient consents to approve the Proposed Amendments.
