These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of other financial and performance metrics and projections of market opportunity.
These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of DocGo's management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. 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 DocGo and Motion. Some important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements could include changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions. Further, these forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including: the conditions to the completion of the merger, including the required approval by Motion's stockholders, may not be satisfied on the terms expected or on the anticipated schedule; the parties' ability to meet expectations regarding the timing and completion of the merger; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement; the approval by Motion's stockholders of an amendment to Motion's organizational documents to extend the date by which Motion must complete its initial business combination in order to have adequate time to close the proposed transaction; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Motion related to the merger or the merger agreement; and the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and other charges related to the merger; 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; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to DocGo; DocGo's ability to successfully expand its service offerings; competition; the uncertain effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; and those factors discussed in the registration statement, proxy statement/prospectus, and other documents filed, or to be filed, by Motion with SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.
