Departure of Chief Executive Officer

Effective June 30, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), Brad Hively will transition from his role as Chief Executive Officer of The Oncology Institute, Inc. (the “Company”) to Vice Chair of the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr Hively’s transition was not the result of any disagreement between Mr. Hively and the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Mr. Hively will remain a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and remains a nominee for director as provided within the Company’s proxy materials for its Annual Meeting of Stockholders scheduled for June 15, 2023, including its Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2023. On June 8, 2023, the Board appointed Mr. Hively to serve as Vice Chair of the Board effective on the Effective Date and will compensate him as provided in the Company’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, including an annual award of restricted stock units on June 15, 2023, in an amount and pursuant to vesting in accordance with the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy.

In connection with Mr. Hively’s transition, on June 11, 2023, the Company entered into a Transition Agreement with Mr. Hively (the “Transition Agreement”) setting out the terms of his transition arrangements, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A. In exchange for a general release of claims, following the Effective Date, Mr. Hively is eligible to receive the severance benefits provided for under his employment agreement with the Company, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A, which includes salary continuation and payments or reimbursements for the cost of COBRA premiums for twelve months following the Effective Date, except Mr. Hively will also be eligible to receive 50% of his 2023 annual bonus, which final payment is subject to adjustment at the Board’s discretion and depending on the Company’s performance and individual contributions. Additionally, pursuant to the Transition Agreement, all unvested restricted stock units granted to Mr. Hively will vest in accordance with existing vesting schedules through June 30, 2024, subject to certain conditions.

The foregoing is a summary of the material terms of the Transition Agreement. The summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Transition Agreement, which has been filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A and incorporated by reference to this Item 5.02.

Appointment of Chief Executive Officer

On June 8, 2023, the Board appointed Daniel Virnich, the Company’s current President, as Chief Executive Officer effective as of June 30, 2023, and in such role he will serve as the Company’s principal executive officer pursuant to his existing employment agreement with the Company, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The full biography and other information with respect to Mr. Virnich required by Item 5.02(c) of Form 8-K are included in the Company’s proxy statement on Schedule 14A for the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders filed with the SEC on April 28, 2023 under the heading “Executive Officers” and such biography and information are incorporated herein by reference.

Additionally, there are no transactions between Mr. Virnich and the Company that would be required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

On June 12, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing the transition and appointment described above. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K under this Item 7.01 (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing made by the company or the operating partnership under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains statements that are forward-looking and, as such, are not historical facts. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates, and projects about the Company’s business based, in part, on assumptions made by management, and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “seeks,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “might,” “possible,” “potential,” “predicts,” “may,” “would,” “could,” “will” or “should” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. One should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the other documents filed by the Company from time to time with the SEC. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
