This Transaction Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 23, 2025 (as it may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Parent, Merger Sub and the Company. The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

If the Merger is completed, at the effective time of the Merger, each share of Company Capital Stock and Class A Non-voting Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than (i) shares owned by Parent, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries, including securities held as treasury shares (collectively, “Excluded Shares”), as of the Effective Time and (ii) dissenting shares), will be converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to (i) $19.00 per share of each of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, (ii) $6.34 per share of Class C Common Stock and (iii) $10.50 per share of Class A Non-voting Preferred Stock, in each instance, without interest and subject to deduction for any required withholding tax. As a result of the Merger, FONAR will cease to be a publicly traded company, the Common Stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and deregistered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, and FONAR will no longer file periodic reports, current reports and proxy and information statements with the SEC.

On July 8, 2025, the FONAR Board formed a special committee comprised solely of the Company’s disinterested directors (Mr. Turk and Mr. Carrino) (the “Special Committee”), (i) to evaluate the advisability and fairness to FONAR and our stockholders (excluding the holders of Excluded Shares) of a non-binding proposal received from the Acquisition Group in July 2025, pursuant to which the Acquisition Group would potentially acquire the outstanding capital stock of the Company in a merger transaction, (ii) to examine any matters, including all information reasonably necessary to make an informed decision (including any alternative proposals or other strategic alternatives available to the Company, including maintaining the status quo as a standalone public company), in connection with such evaluation as the Special Committee deems appropriate (subject to applicable law), (iii) to engage, at the Company’s expense, such legal counsel or other advisors as the Special Committee deems appropriate in connection with the Process (as defined below), (iv) to negotiate on behalf of the Company, assess, reject, and make recommendations to the FONAR Board with respect to, with the advice of legal counsel and other advisors, the proposed merger transaction, and (v) to review and participate in the preparation and issuance of public statements and filings under applicable securities laws in connection with such a proposed transaction and related matters. The Special Committee, with the advice of outside financial and legal advisors, evaluated the Merger and negotiated the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, as more fully described in the Proxy Statement referred to below. At the conclusion of its review, at a meeting of the Special Committee held on December 23, 2025, the Special Committee, among other things, unanimously (1) determined that the terms of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the Company and the holders of Company Capital Stock and Class A Non-voting Preferred Stock (excluding the holders of Excluded Shares), (2) recommended to the disinterested directors that the FONAR Board (A) adopt resolutions approving, adopting and declaring advisable the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, and (B) submit the Merger Agreement and the Merger to the Company’s stockholders for adoption and approval at a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders to consider the proposed transaction (the “Special Meeting”), and (3) recommended to the disinterested directors that the FONAR Board recommend that the Company’s stockholders vote for the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Merger at the Special Meeting.

The FONAR Board, following the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee and after full disclosure of the interests in the Merger and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement by the interested directors (and taking into account that directors Mr. Damadian and Mr. Lehman recused themselves and were not present for the vote, and that Ms. Maher abstained from the vote), at a meeting of the FONAR Board held on December 23, 2025 (1) determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and the Company’s stockholders (other than the holders of Excluded Shares); (2) approved and declared advisable the execution, delivery and performance of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement; (3) directed that the Merger Agreement and the Merger be submitted to a vote of the holders of Company Capital Stock for adoption at the Special Meeting in accordance with Sections 144 and 251 of the DGCL; and (4) resolved to recommend that holders of Company Capital Stock vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement in accordance with the DGCL at the Special Meeting.

The Merger cannot be completed without (a) the affirmative vote of shares representing a majority of the Company Capital Stock outstanding and entitled to vote, voting together as a single class, after giving effect to the respective voting powers of each class of Company Capital Stock, and (b) the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Special Meeting by disinterested stockholders of their shares of Company Capital Stock, voting together as a single class, after giving effect to the respective voting powers of each class of Company Capital Stock, as more fully described in the Proxy Statement.

Concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement, the Company is filing a preliminary proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act with the SEC, pursuant to which the Company, on behalf of the Special Committee, is soliciting proxies from the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Merger. The Proxy Statement is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(2)(i). A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to the Proxy Statement as ANNEX A. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Transaction Statement have the meanings assigned to them in the Proxy Statement.

The cross-references below are being supplied pursuant to General Instruction G to Schedule 13E-3 and show the location in the Proxy Statement of the information required to be included in response to the items of Schedule 13E-3.
