PART I
Item 1. Business
Company Overview
OneMedNet is a global provider of clinical imaging innovation and curator of regulatory-grade Imaging Real-World Data or iRWDTM. OneMedNet’s innovative solutions connect healthcare providers and patients satisfying a crucial need within the Life Sciences field offering direct access to clinical images and the associated contextual patient record. OneMedNet’s innovative technology proved the commercial and regulatory viability of imaging Real-World Data, an emerging market, and provides regulatory-grade image-centric iRWDTM that exactly matches OMN’s Life Science partners Case Selection Protocols and paves the way for Real World Evidence.
OneMedNet was founded to solve a deficiency in how clinical images were shared between healthcare providers. This resulted in OMN’s initial product BEAMTM image exchange that enabled the successful sharing of images for more than a decade with OMN’s largest customer being the Country of Ireland.
OneMedNet continued to innovate by responding to the demand for and utilization of Real-World Data and Real-World Evidence, specifically data that focused on clinical images with its associated contextual clinical record. We were able to leverage internal technological competencies along with OneMedNet’s formidable healthcare provider installed base from its first product with BEAMTM to become the first RWD solution for Life Science companies with its launch of iRWDTM in 2019.
OneMedNet provides innovative solutions that unlock the significant value contained within clinical image archives. With a growing federated network of 95+ healthcare facilities, OneMedNet has the immediate ability to quickly search and extensively curate multi-layer data from a Federated group of healthcare facilities. The term “healthcare facilities” refers specifically to the hospitals, integrated delivery networks (“IDNs”) and imaging centers that provide imaging to OneMedNet, which represent the core source of our data. At present, OneMedNet works with more than 95 facilities who provide regulatory grade imaging to us. OneMedNet has access to these more than 95 facilities because these 95+ contracted facilities have more than 200 locations among them including offices and clinics, which in total generates regulatory grade imaging from more than 200 customers. Among these customers, all are data providers and some are data purchasers.
OneMedNet is ahead of the curve when it comes to providing fast and secure access to curated medical images. Initially, it was all about solving the diverse access needs of patient care providers. This focus systematically evolved to addressing the rapidly growing needs of image analysis and researchers, clinicians, regulators, scientists and more.
Real-world data is any data that is collected in the context of the routine delivery of care, in contrast to data collected within a clinical trial where study design controls variability in ways that are not representative of real-world care and outcomes.
A key component driving its mission is that OneMedNet believes we have a unique opportunity to affect a material positive impact on the lives of tens of millions of people while improving our customers’ business productivity. First and foremost, OneMedNet’s iRWDTM offering plays a significant role in enabling Life Science companies to bring safer and more effective patient care to market sooner. Using our highly curated de-identified clinical data in our iRWDTM offering in Life Science product development, validation, and regulatory approval processes, they contribute to patient care advancements in more meaningful ways. Moreover, Life Sciences improve their product development and validation processes, which benefits all parties.
Significant documentation exists that shows that Real-World Data can provide expanded insights across broader and more representative patient populations. For this reason, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) has instituted Real-World Data guidelines for regulatory approvals. Utilization of highly reliable and quality Real-World Data that strictly adheres to all of the very specific data stratification requirements can supplement or supplant clinical trials.
OneMedNet covers the complete value chain in imaging Real-World Data; it begins with our 10+ year federated network of providers and is supported by a multi-faceted data curation process managed by an expert in-house clinical team. Additionally, we work hand-in-hand with our Life Science partners regarding the Case Selection Protocol and when required producing Case Report Forms for regulatory clearance. We are focused on delivering value by supporting Life Science Advancements with OneMedNet’s iRWDTM which holds the key to unlocking boundless patient care advances. We unleash the power of research-grade image-centric iRWDTM that is highly curated to painstakingly meet every cohort requirement and stand up to all of the rigors of prospective clinical trials.
Today, life science companies, including pharmaceutical companies, artificial intelligence (AI) developers, medical device businesses, and clinical research organizations share the same widespread challenge in obtaining insight-rich, high-quality patient data that explicitly matches their precise cohort specifications. A substantial portion of patient diagnosis involves clinical imaging and approximately 90% of healthcare data, by size, is associated with imaging. Historically, much of imaging value has been derived from its initial review and further gains from the image archives have been very limited.
| 1 |
We help providers to “Unlock the Value in Imaging Archives”.TM By utilizing OneMedNet’s iRWDTM offering, providers can greatly improve their research efforts with streamlined data access. Health care providers such as hospitals, clinics, and imaging centers can also accelerate life science patient care innovations by sharing de-identified data in a well-defined and de-identified and secure manner. In return for doing so, income is generated and applied to critical and possibly unfunded provider projects.
The OneMedNet Difference
OneMedNet has been a leader in the business of extracting, securing, and transferring medical data for 12+ years. Doing so requires specialized expertise in:
| ● | Compliancy (HIPAA, GDPR, 21 Part11) | |
| ● | Advanced privacy & security measures | |
| ● | Clinical patient condition(s) and hospital processes | |
| ● | Radiology interpretation | |
| ● | AI/ML technology |
Attaining in-house expertise in all essential elements is quite a challenge and deters many organizations from even attempting such a venture. We take pride in this ambitious achievement – while continually working to maintain state-of-the-art expertise. OneMedNet strictly adheres to the highest level of professional and ethical standards and applicable regulations throughout all interactions and activities.
We believe there is a reason OneMedNet is the leader in an uncrowded field of regulatory-grade imaging RWD curators. Doing so requires specialized expertise in AI/ML technology, data privacy/security, as well as expertise in clinical patient condition(s) and healthcare record keeping. Having, or achieving, expertise in all essential disciplines is a challenging achievement. OneMedNet had a significant head start with our clinical image exchange solution which served to launch the Company nearly a decade ago. All data remains “native” within the federated OneMedNet iRWDTM provider network – meaning all the data remains locally onsite until specific de-identified data is licensed for a particular Life Science research opportunity.
OneMedNet’s Competitive Advantages
We believe that OneMedNet iRWDTM offers the best of advanced technology, clinical expert curation, and service. Medical imaging and associated clinical data is indexed at each network site using state-of-the-art AI/ML technology. This typically includes electronic health records (“EHR”), radiology, cardiology, lab, path and more. Our in-house clinical team performs intensive curation of the data ensuring that results meet the exact specification and requirements of Life Science Data Collection Protocol (“DCP”) – regardless of the complexity.
We believe that OneMedNet unlocks the value in imaging and electronic health records data in the following three principal ways:
| ● | Regulatory Grade — Our imaging results serve as proof of effectiveness for regulatory agencies, meeting requirements for quality & diversity; | |
| ● | On Demand — Our powerful indexing platform access and harmonizes complete patient profiles across fragmented data silos, delivering images and records on-demand; | |
| ● | Expertly Curated — We curate to the most stringent multi-level stratified requirements, providing unmatched data accuracy and completeness. |
| 2 |
OneMedNet’s data is fully de-identified using a multi-step quality control process and goes beyond PHI to include PII (personally identifiable information), SII (Site Identifiable Information), and more. Importantly, Life Science users receive the data in the exact format that they require. No data sifting or manipulation is needed. The data is simply ready for use. Moreover, OneMedNet has the unique combination of knowledge, tools, and experience to:
| ● | Access and harmonize complete patient profiles across fragmented data silos; | |
| ● | Provide unmatched data accuracy and completeness; | |
| ● | Ensure the security and privacy of patients’ Protected Health Information (PHI)Imaging RWD is our singular passion and focus and no one does it better. |
Finally, OneMedNet has the most experienced and clinically trained data curators in the industry. This team appreciates the complexity and criticality of clinical data and can effectively communicate with both Provider and Life Science specialists.
Industry Background
A 2016 analysis published in the Journal of Health Economics and authored by the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development placed the cost of bringing a drug to market, including post-approval research and development, at a staggering $2.87 billion. Meanwhile, a 2018 study from the Tufts Center noted that the timeline for new drug development ranged from 12.8 years for the average drug to 17.2 years for ultra-orphan drugs that only affect several hundred patients. This places the onus on life science organizations to find ways to deliver treatments to patients faster — especially those who cannot wait 17 years for a potentially life-saving treatment. Knowing how a medicinal product is actually used by patients can help stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem make important and potentially life-saving real-time decisions.
Real-World Data is observational data typically gathered when an approved medical product is on the market and used by “real” patients in real life, as opposed to clinical trials or real world images for real patients. The FDA cites several potential sources of Real-World Data, including electronic health records (“EHRs”), claims, disease and product registries, there are multiple types of data including structured and unstructured data, clinical and billing data, transactional and claims data, patient-generated data, and data gathered from additional sources that can shed light on a patient’s health status and more. As reliance on healthcare data grows exponentially, OneMedNet has observed that the reliance on information has increased coming from multiple additional sources including EHRs, claims, registries, clinical trials, patient and provider surveys, wearable devices and more. These additional sources include the internet of things (“IoT”), social media forums and blogs. Real-World Data has the potential to break down inefficiencies and fill gaps in information silos among stakeholders throughout the healthcare ecosystem of providers, payers, manufacturers, government entities and patients. This information sharing, in turn, enables all parties to derive new insights, support value-based care and deliver better health outcomes.
| 3 |
Commercializing a drug requires its developer to harness various sources of Real-World Data to identify patient populations and refine sales and marketing strategies for those populations among many other undertakings. Historically, this practice involved purchasing large amounts of data from data aggregators or data platforms, if not directly from the source itself, sometimes without much knowledge about the quality of the data. Preparing this data for analysis is both expensive and time-consuming thus many organizations would outsource the process to consultants or third-party vendors; moreover, the process of preparing this data for analysis by untrained consultants can yield a static analysis that is difficult to modify or rerun in response to follow-up questions or potential discrepancies.
Definitions of Real-World Data and Real-World Evidence
Real-World Data has become a powerful tool in the life sciences industry. After decades of relying on clinical data as the gold standard for decision making, industry leaders now recognize how data collected in the real world adds valuable context and insight to their efforts. From identifying unmet medical needs and defining the patient journey, to supporting regulatory submissions, proving value to payers, and shaping market strategies, Real-World Data adds value at every stage of the drug development lifecycle. Real-World Data also sets the foundation for Real World Evidence, and while the terms are often used interchangeably, they are distinct and they are changing health care. Here’s how it happens:
| 1. | First, Real-World Data are data relating to patient health status and/or the delivery of health care routinely collected from a variety of sources. Real-World Data is aggregated and transformed such as through OneMedNet’s robust analytics. Real-World Data are the data relating to patient health status and/or the delivery of health care routinely collected from a variety of sources. There are many different types, sources and uses of Real-World Data, for example: |
| ● | Clinical Data — For example, clinical data from EHRs and case report forms (“eCRF”) including biopsies and other Pathology tests, diagnostic imaging, social determinants of health, cancer organoids, that provide patient demographics, family history, comorbidities, procedure and treatment history, and outcomes. | |
| ● | Patient Generated Data — For example, patient-generated data from patient-reported outcome surveys, which data provide insights directly from the patient, and they help researchers understand what happens outside of clinic visits, procedures, and hospital stays. | |
| ● | Cost and Utilization Data (Qualitative Studies) — For example, cost and utilization data from claims and public datasets, which data provides information regarding healthcare services utilization, population coverage, and prescribing patterns. | |
| ● | Public Health Data — For example, public health data from various government data sources. These add critical information to enable stakeholders to best serve the needs of the populations they serve. |
The availability of medical imaging in Real-World Data such as that provided by OneMedNet is facilitated by the development of digital image analysis to increase the accuracy of diagnostics and conduct passive screening on large databases of medical images using artificial-intelligence (“AI”) algorithms such as those applied by OneMedNet. Algorithms can also help identify additional diagnostic tests of value from medical images with pathology.
Real-World Evidence is the clinical evidence regarding the usage and potential benefits or risks of a medical product derived from analysis of Real-World Data, as defined by the Food and Drug Administration. Real-World Evidence can be generated by different study designs or analyses, including but not limited to, randomized trials, including large simple trials, pragmatic trials, and observational studies (prospective and/or retrospective). The difference in Real World Evidence and Real World Data focuses on the end use case. Real World Data can take the form of claims, electronic health records, labs, data etc. Often this insight is used to better understand a patient’s journey or a natural history of a disorder (how does a disease progress if left untreated.)
| 4 |
Real World Evidence in contrast builds upon many of these data sets and prepares them for submission, as part of regulatory review such as to the Food and Drug Administration or the European Medicines Agency, for example, in support of a customer’s clinical trial application. When data and in particular imaging data is submitted to the FDA the agency requires the following:
| ● | Guard against biased — evidence must align with the patient population being study — expectations focus on the similar patient demographics, comorbidities, disease severity, etc.; | |
| ● | Traceability — confirm the chain of custody, the source of the data is known and can be validated if required; and | |
| ● | Go forward basis — regulatory agencies seek evidence that aligns with the trials timeframe and when possible collect evidence that mirrors the clinical trials timeline. |
One area where Real World Evidence has been relief on heavily relates to oncology approvals. Food and Drug Administration’s Oncology Center of Excellence actually presented an analysis of this at American Society of Clinical Oncology in 2021, looking at oncology applications containing Real-World Data and Real-World Evidence. That analysis looked at 94 applications that were submitted from 2011-2020 and showed that inclusion of Real-World Data to support regulatory decision-making has increased dramatically over that period. In 2020 alone, there were 28 submissions for oncology products that contained Real-World Data. Outside of the oncology context, probably the most notable recent example of an approval relying on Real World Evidence is the July 2021 approval of a new indication for Astellas’ drug Program (or tacrolimus) for the prevention of organ rejection in lung transplant patients. The approval there was based on a non-interventional study providing Real-World Evidence of effectiveness. FDA’s press release announcing the approval noted that the approval was “significant because it reflects how a well-designed, non-interventional study relying on fit-for-purpose real-world data, when compared to a suitable control, can be considered adequate and well-controlled under FDA regulations.”
An additional recent approval of note was the December 2021 approval of the supplemental BLA for Orencia to prevent graft versus host disease. The application included data from a randomized clinical trial, with additional evidence of effectiveness provided by a registry-based clinical study that was conducted using real-world data from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research. And that registry study analyzed outcomes of 54 patients treated with Orencia for the prevention of graft versus host disease, in combination with standard immunosuppressive drugs, versus 162 patients treated with the standard immunosuppressive drugs alone, and showed efficacy in that indication.
AI is employed in Real-World Data to enhance data anomaly detection, standardization, and quality checking at the pre-processing stage. AI is expected to offer pharma and biotech companies the ability to increase meaningful Real World Evidence output, decrease time to insights, and make the most of the available vast data sources. A Real World Evidence technology platform that delivers smart data processing, analysis, and outcomes offers an unparalleled opportunity to capitalize on these computing advancements.
When used as part of an overall comprehensive Real World Evidence strategy, AI innovations can enhance drug development, improve patient treatment and access, and drive valuable new business opportunities.
In post-marketing studies, adverse events reporting is an area where AI is used, creating greater automation and efficiency in historical data sets. Techniques like natural language processing (“NLP”) enable AI to scan tens of thousands of records and quickly find adverse event details. AI integrated analytics and automation provide access to crucial insights from historical clinical trial Real-World Data and Real World Evidence, expanding end-to-end clinical trial capabilities:
| ● | Data ingestion — publicly/historical available Real-World Data | |
| ● | Text extraction — NLP used to extract key entities from clinical trial documents | |
| ● | Data transformation & standardization — data standardization using pre-built models | |
| ● | AI model deployment — predicting trial design impacts on costs, feasibility, cycle times, and quality risk |
AI is driving ground-breaking leaps in protein structure identification, and advances in regulations are providing healthcare research organizations with access to real-world data to accelerate clinical trial processes. We believe that AI-enabled technologies have unparalleled potential to offer innovative trial design and collection, organizing, and analyzing the increasing amount of data generated by clinical trials. AI has many applications in clinical trials, both short and long-term. AI technologies make possible innovations crucial for transforming clinical trials, such as seamlessly combining Phases I and II, developing novel patient-centered endpoints, and collecting and analyzing Real-World Data.
OneMedNet believes that AI tools also have wider benefits for hospitals and health systems. Professor Alexander Wong, University of Waterloo Canada Research Chair in AI and Medical Imaging, points out that AI benefits include the potential to ease the burden on radiology departments in terms of assessing scans and predicting upcoming demand for general hospital and intensive care beds, and demand for equipment such as respirators and ventilators, medicines, masks, and ventilator mouthpieces, as well as aiding workforce planning.

Across a diverse set of imaging modalities, digital images typically include metadata and/or annotations that may include protected health information (e.g., patient name, date of birth). Although diagnostic images generally do not warrant the same level of privacy concerns as genomic data, researchers must also remove facial characteristics or other features that could identify a patient.
Digital image analysis can be used to support research and development by analyzing large volumes of tissue specimens or other medical images to run molecular screens that model biomarkers and treatment responses by transplanting a portion of a patient’s tumor into humanized mice or 3D tissue cultures derived from stem cells that resemble miniature organs. These models allow researchers to conduct controlled laboratory experiments that can inform treatment approaches and link predicted treatment response to actual clinical outcomes by linking this data to EHR, claims, and other sources of Real-World Data. Similarly, preclinical studies can be informed by safety assessments conducted in animal models or studies of animal molecular biomarkers or anatomic abnormalities to minimize the burden on human study participants. Findings can also inform clinical trial optimization by stratifying participants according to predicted response and determining appropriate eligibility criteria.
| 2. | Second, Real-World Evidence is the clinical evidence about the usage and potential benefits or risks of a medical product derived from analysis of Real-World Data. Real World Evidence provides clinically-rich insights into what actually happens in everyday practice and why. The FD&C Act defines Real-World Evidence as “data regarding the usage, or the potential benefits or risks, of a drug derived from sources other than traditional clinical trials.” In developing its Real-World Evidence program, FDA believes it is helpful to distinguish between the sources of Real-World Data and the evidence derived from that data. |
Evaluating Real-World Evidence in the context of regulatory decision-making depends not only on the evaluation of the methodologies used to generate the evidence but also on the reliability and relevance of the underlying Real-World Data; these constructs may raise different types of considerations. Real-World Evidence refers to evidence about the risks and benefits of a product derived from analysis of the Real-World Data. For example, the FDA has used Real-World Data and Real-World Evidence, derived from its Sentinel system for monitoring the safety of regulated products, in place of post-marketing studies. It has carried this out for nine potential safety issues involving five products.
Real-World Evidence is the clinical evidence regarding the usage and potential benefits or risks of a medical product derived from analysis of Real-World Data. Real World Evidence can be generated by different study designs or analysis, including but not limited to, randomized trials, including large simple trials, pragmatic trials, and observational studies (prospective and/or retrospective).
Unlike traditional clinical trials, where necessary data elements can be curated and collection mandated, the creation of Real World Evidence requires assessing, validating and aggregating various, often disparate, sources of data available through routine clinical practice. Real-world evidence is used by different stakeholders in many different ways.
| ● | It gives life sciences companies insight into how their drugs are being used. | |
| ● | It helps providers improve the delivery of care. | |
| ● | It enables regulatory authorities to monitor post-market safety and adverse events. | |
| ● | It helps payers assess outcomes from treatments. |
From Real-World Data to Real World Evidence
The creation of Real World Evidence requires a combination of high-powered analytics, a validated approach and a robust knowledge of available Real-World Data sources (e.g., what data is captured within existing quality registries, what data can be captured through electronic health records and case report forms or claims, which patient organizations capture data on relevant patient cohorts). This process includes several steps, which are summarized here:
| 1. | Defining a study protocol answering relevant clinical questions. | |
| 2. | Defining which data elements can be collected from which Real-World Data sources. | |
| 3. | Establishing data capture arrangements and protocols with existing Real-World Data sources. | |
| 4. | Blending disparate data sources through probabilistic record matching algorithms. | |
| 5. | Validating and supplementing blended data through editable eCRFs. | |
| 6. | Defining and calculating clinically relevant outcomes and measures. | |
| 7. | Appropriately assessing and controlling for variability in data quality, availability and confounding patient factors affecting measured outcomes. | |
| 8. | Real World Evidence can provide a holistic view of patients that in many cases cannot be studied through traditional clinical trials. |
Real World Evidence has been proven to fill a gap between research (what we learn) and everyday practice (what we do) in healthcare, and it creates a difference between what is expected to happen and what really happens. Driving measurable improvements in healthcare requires us all to be rooted in the reality of what actually happens before, during, and after clinical procedures, interventions, and office visits. Real World Evidence fill those gaps and documents the truth by establishing definitively what really happens when doctors treat a wide range of patients that do not look like the homogeneous patient groups in a clinical trial. Because of this, Real World Evidence serves many uses and provides many benefits across the healthcare ecosystem.

As more countries battle to contain healthcare costs, and as the population ages and the number of patients with chronic diseases increases, the need to remove inefficiencies and upgrade the delivery of coordinated care that improves outcomes is more pressing. At the same time, life sciences companies are facing tumultuous times. Industry globalization, the end of the blockbuster era, and an increasingly complex regulatory environment all add to the difficulty of bringing products to market. And across the board, companies are moving toward a patient-centric and outcome-focused model. In this environment, Real World Evidence can be transformative for the industry when Real-World Data is combined with the right technology framework and the regulatory intelligence to make sense of it. As data is consumed across life sciences in different ways and by different stakeholders, it can provide valuable insights and “evidence” across the product life cycle. In addition, stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem use this new knowledge to support decision-making and improve safety and effectiveness, and ultimately, patient outcomes.
Uses of Real World Evidence in Life Sciences, Among Regulators, Clinicians, Researchers and Healthcare Systems
According to repeated studies by Deloitte, the importance of Real World Evidence continues to rise as it promises to accelerate regulatory decision-making and support the approval of new indications for drugs already on the market. Life Sciences, pharmaceutical and medical device companies are significant consumers of Real World Evidence because it can provide value across the entire product lifecycle from pre-trial design to clinical studies and trials to post-market surveillance. Medical product developers are using Real World Evidence to support clinical trial designs (e.g., large simple trials, pragmatic clinical trials) and observational studies to generate innovative, new treatment approaches.
Real World Evidence can be used to make clinical trials more effective and efficient, for example in patient recruitment or label extension, Real World Evidence gathered from other studies or from currently marketed products in a similar category, for example, can have a positive effect on the product portfolio by exposing positive side effects as new potential indications. The most famous example is Viagra, which was initially studied as a drug to lower blood pressure, but an unexpected side effect led to the drug ultimately being approved for erectile dysfunction.
The benefits of Real World Evidence derived from Real-World Data are increasingly being recognized by regulatory authorities. The FDA released a framework for using Real World Evidence to support the process of drug regulation and submission. This is a major step toward recognizing that clinical trials, while still relevant, are not the only way to assess the efficacy and safety of a product. Indeed, the FDA is soon expected to conduct its first full post-market safety approval using only Real World Evidence.
Real World Evidence is now accepted as a reliable source of information for regulatory decision making in certain circumstances. A primary rationale for the FDA to use Real World Evidence E is to help support the approval of a new or extended use for a drug approved under the FD&C Act and to help support or satisfy post-approval study requirements always with the condition that the data quality is up to the standard required. In a recent statement, the FDA even noted how new tools for capturing data in the post-market period, including more sophisticated use of Real-World Data and Real-World Evidence are providing new approaches to address important questions about the safety and benefits of new drugs in real world settings and that these approaches have the potential to do to so more rapidly and with greater efficiency than traditional methods.
Why Do We Need Real-World Evidence?
There is a gap between research (what we learn) and everyday practice (what we do) in healthcare, and it creates a difference between what is expected to happen and what really happens. But it is what really happens that matters. Driving measurable improvements in healthcare requires us all to be rooted in the reality of what actually happens before, during, and after clinical procedures, interventions, and office visits. Real-World Evidence is here to fill those gaps and root us in truth. It tells us what really happens when doctors treat a wide range of patients that don’t look like the homogeneous patient groups in a clinical trial. Because of this, Real-World Evidence serves many uses and provides many benefits across the healthcare ecosystem.
Uses of Real-World Evidence in Pharmaceutical and Device Companies
Pharmaceutical and medical device companies are major consumers of Real-World Evidence, as it can provide value across the entire product lifecycle. Real-World Evidence plays an important role for research across the product lifecycle for both pharmaceutical and device companies. It can inform pre-trial study design by helping researchers identify potential patients and create proper inclusion criteria for clinical trials. Much of medical innovation is driven by traditional clinical trials, where new pharmaceuticals and devices are rigorously studied and tracked before they can be sold and widely distributed.
Although clinical trials are incredibly important to determine the safety and efficacy of new technologies, when compared to real-world evidence they do have some limitations. For example, traditional clinical trials can have strict inclusion criteria that makes it challenging for providers to accurately extrapolate the results of a clinical trial to a broader population. Clinical trial participation is often limited by who the study administrators are able to recruit, and various demographics are often not able to participate. This again challenges the generalizability of clinical trial results across patient populations. Real-world evidence can help overcome the limitations of clinical trials by providing information about a broader cross-section of society. This can help clinicians, researchers, and industry partners better understand their products and how they work.

Once a product is approved and marketed, Real-World Evidence assists pharmaceutical or medical device company understand their products’ relative safety, effectiveness, value, off-label use and more. This post-market surveillance, or post-marketing surveillance, is valuable to stakeholders across the healthcare industry.
The AI-enabled patient enrichment and recruitment process can improve suitable cohorts and increase clinical trial effectiveness, data management, analysis, and interpretation of multiple Real-World Data sources, including EHRs and medical imaging data. This presents a unique opportunity for NLP to perform the sophisticated analysis necessary to combine genomic data with electronic medical records (“EMRs”) and other patient data, present in various locations, owners, and formats — from handwritten paper copies to digital medical images — to surface biomarkers that lead to endpoints that can be more efficiently measured, and thereby identify and characterize appropriate patient subpopulations. AI-enabled systems can help to improve patient cohort composition and aid with patient recruitment.
AI technologies can help biopharma companies identify target locations, qualified investigators, and priority candidates and collect and collate evidence to satisfy regulators that the trial process complies with good clinical practice (“GMP”) requirements. One of the most important elements of a clinical trial is a selection of high-functioning investigator sites. Site qualities such as resource availability, administrative procedures, and experienced clinicians with in-depth knowledge and understanding of the disease can shape study timelines and data quality, accuracy, completeness, and consistency.
AI integrated clinical trial programs can help monitor and manage patients by automating real-world data capture, sharing data across systems, and digitalizing standard clinical assessments. AI technologies and wearable technologies can help enable continuous patient monitoring and generate real-time insights into the safety and effectiveness of treatment while predicting the possible risk of dropouts, thereby enhancing patient engagement and retention. To comply with trial adherence criteria, patients must keep detailed records of their medication intake and other data points related to their bodily functions, response to medication, and daily protocols. This can be an overwhelming and tedious task, leading to 40% of patients becoming non-adherent after 150 days into a clinical trial. Wearable devices/sensors and video monitoring are used to collect patient data automatically and continuously, thereby relieving the patient of this task. In combination with wearable technology, AI techniques offer new approaches to developing real-time, power-efficient, mobile, and personalized patient monitoring systems.
Among regulators, clinicians, academic researchers and healthcare systems, the reliance on curated Real World Evidence has grown significantly because of the value it can provide, which is unique relative to each parties’ objectives and mandates. It also helps that the FDA has also sharpened its focus on Real-World Data and Real World Evidence. For example, late last year, the FDA published proposed guidance related to data standards for product submissions with Real-World Data and also weighed in on the use of Real-World Data and Real World Evidence to support regulatory decision-making for drugs and biological products with specific advice for data from electronic health records and medical claims. In addition, the FDA uses Real-World Data and Real World Evidence to monitor post-market safety and adverse events and to make regulatory decisions. The health care community is using these data to support coverage decisions and to develop guidelines and decision support tools for use in clinical practice.
AI with deep-learning capability is also helpful in organizing and translating a vast amount of structured and unstructured data to RWE. The human mind can possibly manage 4-5 variables, therefore, AI-enabled data mapping and integration and their normalization into a common data model according to disease pathway and workflow will likely be useful for both quality management in clinical trials and generating meaningful insight for human disease by providing a broader perspective based on real-world data.

Organizational Structure
The following is a current organizational chart of our Company:
Human Capital Resources
Our workforce is comprised of approximately 20 employees (as of December 31, 2023), including approximately 0 part-time employees (references herein to “employees” include to the employees of our subsidiaries). Our Board of Directors and its committees oversee human capital matters through regular reporting from management and advisors.
| 14 |
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
We are committed to fostering a culture of inclusion that embraces and supports our patients, colleagues, partners, physicians and communities. Our policies prohibit discrimination on the basis of age, gender, disability, race, color, ancestry, citizenship, religion, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, medical condition, marital status, veteran status, payment source or ability, or any other basis prohibited by federal, state or local law.
Compensation and Benefits
We provide competitive compensation and benefits programs to help meet the needs of our employees. In addition to salaries, these programs (which vary by location) include a 2024 Stock Option Plan, a 401(k) Plan, health care and insurance benefits, health savings and flexible spending accounts, paid time off, family leave, family care resources, flexible work schedules, employee assistance programs, tuition and student loan assistance and on-site services, such as cafeterias and fitness centers, among many others.
Facilities
Prior to the closing of the Business Combination, the Company’s executive offices were located at Unit G6, Frome Business Park, Manor Road, Frome, United Kingdom, BA11 4FN and its telephone number was +44 203 833 4000. The Company agreed to pay ARC Group Ltd., an affiliate of the Sponsor, up to an amount of $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative support. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we had incurred $60,000 in fees under this agreement, respectively. Upon completion of our Business Combination, the Company ceased paying these monthly fees.
After the closing of the Business Combination, our headquarters is located at 6385 Old Shady Oak Road, Suite 250, Eden Prairie, MN 55344 and our telephone number is (800) 918-7189, where we lease and occupy our office space with an aggregate floor area of approximately 67 square feet from unrelated third parties under operating lease agreements. We believe the current office space is adequate for our current operations and are adequate for our anticipated future needs.
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
As a company with less than $1.235 billion in revenues during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) enacted in 2012. As an emerging growth company, we expect to take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:
| ● | being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements, in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements, with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure in this prospectus; | |
| ● | not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”); | |
| ● | reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; and | |
| ● | exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. |
Item 1A. Risk Factors
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. This prospectus contains a discussion of the risks applicable to an investment in our securities. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations. The occurrence of any of these known or unknown risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities. We may not be successful in preventing the material adverse effects that any of the following risks and uncertainties may cause. You could lose all or a significant portion of your investment due to any of these risks and uncertainties.
You should carefully consider the following risks, as well as the other information contained in this prospectus, including our historical financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus before you decide to purchase our securities. Any one of these risks and uncertainties has the potential to cause material adverse effects on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results which could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements expressed by us and a significant decrease in the value of our Common Stock shares and warrants. Refer to “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Risks Related to this Offering and Our Common Stock
Our stock price may be volatile, and purchasers of our Common Stock could incur substantial losses.
The stock market in general has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to operating performance of individual companies, particularly following a public offering of a company with a small public float. There is the potential for rapid and substantial price volatility of our Common Stock following this offering. These broad market factors may seriously harm the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, which may make it difficult for investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Common Stock.
| 15 |
We are currently listed on The Nasdaq Global Market. If we are unable to maintain listing of our securities on Nasdaq or any stock exchange, our stock price could be adversely affected and the liquidity of our stock and our ability to obtain financing could be impaired and it may be more difficult for our stockholders to sell their securities.
Although our Common Stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Global Market, we may not be able to continue to meet the exchange’s minimum listing requirements or those of any other national exchange. If we are unable to maintain listing on Nasdaq or if a liquid market for our Common Stock does not develop or is sustained, our Common Stock may remain thinly traded.
As previously reported on Form 8-K on February 9, 2024, the Company received written notice (the “Nasdaq Notice”), dated February 7, 2024, from Nasdaq indicating that for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the market value of the Company’s listed securities (“MVLS”) did not maintain a minimum market value of $50,000,000 (the “Minimum MVLS Requirement”) as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company has a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until August 5, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum MVLS Requirement. Compliance may be achieved if the Company’s MVLS closes at $50,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time during the 180-day compliance period, in which case Nasdaq will notify the Company of its compliance and the matter will be closed.
If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum MVLS Requirement by August 5, 2024, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock is subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the relevant delisting determination to a hearings panel pursuant to the procedures set forth in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, there can be no assurance, if the Company does appeal the delisting determination by Nasdaq to the hearings panel, that such appeal would be successful. In such event, the Company may also seek to apply for a transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market if it meets the requirements for continued listing thereon.
The Nasdaq Notice received have no immediate effect on the Company’s continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market or the trading of Company’s common stock, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other continued listing requirements. The Company is presently evaluating potential actions to regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in maintaining the listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market.
The listing rules of Nasdaq require listing issuers to comply with certain standards in order to remain listed on its exchange. If, for any reason, we should fail to maintain compliance with these listing standards and Nasdaq should delist our securities from trading on its exchange and we are unable to obtain listing on another national securities exchange, a reduction in some or all of the following may occur, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our stockholders:
| ● | the liquidity of our Common Stock; | |
| ● | the market price of our Common Stock; | |
| ● | our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations; | |
| ● | the number of institutional and general investors that will consider investing in our Common Stock; | |
| ● | the number of investors in general that will consider investing in our Common Stock; | |
| ● | the number of market makers in our Common Stock; | |
| ● | the availability of information concerning the trading prices and volume of our Common Stock; and | |
| ● | the number of broker-dealers willing to execute trades in shares of our Common Stock. |
Our principal stockholders will continue to have significant influence over the election of our board of directors and approval of any significant corporate actions, including any sale of the Company.
Our founders, executive officers, directors, and other principal stockholders, in the aggregate, beneficially own a majority of our outstanding stock. These stockholders currently have, and likely will continue to have, significant influence with respect to the election of our board of directors and approval or disapproval of all significant corporate actions. The concentrated voting power of these stockholders could have the effect of delaying or preventing an acquisition of the Company or another significant corporate transaction.
We could be subject to securities class action litigation.
In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against companies following a decline in the market price of their securities. In 2020, 22% of securities class action litigation filings were against defendants in the health technology and services sector, which accounted for 22% of new filings. If we face such litigation, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could harm our business.
| 16 |
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the market price for the shares and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our Common Stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If research analysts do not establish and maintain adequate research coverage or if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our Common Stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the market price for our Common Stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which, in turn, could cause the market price or trading volume for our common stock to decline.
We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, and you must rely on price appreciation of your shares of Common Stock for return on your investment.
We have paid no cash dividends on any class of our stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the near term. For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our stock. Accordingly, investors must be prepared to rely on sales of their shares after price appreciation to earn an investment return, which may never occur. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our shares. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board deems relevant.
Future sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, either by us or by our existing stockholders, or the possibility that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.
Future sales in the public market of shares of our Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, shares held by our existing stockholders or shares issued upon exercise of our outstanding stock options or warrants, or the perception by the market that these sales could occur, could lower the market price of our Common Stock or make it difficult for us to raise additional capital.
We are an “emerging growth company,” and the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies may make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“the JOBS Act”). For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of our initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of our prior second fiscal quarter, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.
In addition, under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies may delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We may elect not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, may be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our share price may be more volatile.
Anti-takeover provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.
Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions which could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by our board of directors. Our corporate governance documents include provisions:
| ● | authorizing “blank check” preferred stock, which could be issued by our board of directors without stockholder approval and may contain voting, liquidation, dividend, and other rights superior to our common stock; | |
| ● | limiting the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers; | |
| ● | limiting the ability of our stockholders to call and bring business before special meetings; | |
| ● | requiring advance notice of stockholder proposals for business to be conducted at meetings of our stockholders and for nominations of candidates for election to our board of directors; | |
| ● | controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of board of directors and stockholder meetings; and | |
| ● | providing our board of directors with the express power to postpone previously scheduled annual meetings and to cancel previously scheduled special meetings. |
| 17 |
These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in our management. As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation law, which prevents some stockholders holding more than 15% of our outstanding common stock from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the holders of substantially all of our outstanding common stock.
Any provision of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our Common Stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our Common Stock.
Our Business Risks
We have a history of operating losses and may never achieve profitability in the future.
We have experienced net losses in each annual period since inception. We generated net losses of $23.2 million and $6.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, we had accumulated losses of approximately $55.1 million.
We expect to continue to incur significant losses in the development, marketing, sale and delivery of our services. If we do not grow our revenues or if we lose existing customers, we expect to continue to incur losses from operations for the foreseeable future. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development, marketing, sale and delivery of our imaging real world data (“iRWDTM”) services, we may experience larger than expected future losses and may never become profitable. Moreover, there is a substantial risk that we may not be able to successfully commercialize our iRWDTM services, which would make it unlikely that we would ever achieving profitability.
OneMedNet believes it has demonstrated its quality and responsiveness in clinical imaging and curation of Real-World Data based upon success in compiling one of the largest networks of imaging centers (comprised of hospitals, imaging centers and clinics) throughout the United States covering more than 15 million patients to date. On the global front, OneMedNet works with hospitals and life science companies around the world including Ireland, United Kingdom, Ghana, Denmark and South Korea and growing. We base these claims on our understanding of our competition in the United States and globally. However, if we were to lose these relationships with our network of imaging centers or lose our customers or our competitors’ technology surpasses ours, our competitors could claim a greater market share domestically or abroad, which could reduce our growth and our profits, which could harm our business, financial position, results of operations and prospects.
Two significant customers represented 53% and 52% of our revenues for 2022 and 2023 respectively, and is expected to continue to represent a significant portion of our forecasted revenue for 2024.
Change Healthcare and Siemens Medical Solutions USA, collectively represented 53% and 52% of our revenues in 2023 and 2022, respectively. Change Healthcare is expected to continue to represent a significant portion of our forecasted revenue for 2024. If we fail to maintain and grow our relationships with Change Healthcare, we could lose a significant portion of our revenue for 2023, which would materially adversely affect our results of operations and our business. If OneMedNet were to lose one or more of its significant customers, its revenue may significantly decline. In addition, revenue from significant customers may vary from period to period depending on the timing of renewing existing agreements or entering into new agreements for additional OneMedNet products as well as other unforeseen risks and variables discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus. The loss of one or more of OneMedNet’s significant customers could adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition. You should not rely on our historical relationship with these companies as an indication of our future performance.
We may encounter difficulties in managing our attempted growth of our business, which could negatively impact our operations.
As we expand, market, sell and deliver our service offerings, we anticipate that we will need to increase our service development, sales and marketing and administrative headcount. Such an evolution may impact our strategic focus and our deployment and allocation of resources. Our ability to manage our operations and growth effectively depends upon the continual improvement of our procedures, reporting systems and operational, financial and management controls. We may not be able to implement administrative and operational improvements in an efficient or timely manner and may discover deficiencies in existing systems and controls. If we do not meet these challenges, we may be unable to execute our business strategies and may be forced to expend more resources than anticipated addressing these issues.
We may acquire additional technology and complementary businesses in the future. Acquisitions involve many risks, any of which could materially harm our business, including the diversion of management’s attention from core business concerns, failure to effectively exploit acquired technologies, failure to successfully integrate the acquired business or realize expected synergies or the loss of key employees from either our business or the acquired businesses.
| 18 |
We may be unable to execute our business objectives and growth strategies successfully or sustain our growth and, as a result, this could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
The highly complex nature of our industry requires that we effectively execute and manage our business objectives and growth strategies, such as expanding our marketing and commercialization of our services in the U.S. and internationally, adding new customers, and increasing our service delivery capacity. However, we may not be able to execute on these strategies as effectively as anticipated. Our ability to execute on these strategies depends on a number of factors, including, without limitation:
| ● | our ability to obtain adequate capital resources to complete execute our growth plans; | |
| ● | our ability to hire, train and retain skilled managers and personnel, including quality and production personnel, and marketing and commercial specialists; | |
| ● | our ability to protect our existing and new services by registering and defending our intellectual property rights; and | |
| ● | our ability to successfully add new customers. |
To the extent we are unable to execute on our growth strategies in accordance with our expectations, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and future results of operations.
The real-world data and real-world evidence business market continues to evolve, is highly competitive, and we may not be successful in competing in this industry or establishing and maintaining confidence in our long-term business prospects among current and future partners and customers.
The real-world data and real-world evidence business market in which we compete continues to evolve and is highly competitive. To date, we have focused our efforts on its expertise in clinical imaging innovation solutions that connects healthcare providers and patients and satisfies a crucial need with the life sciences. We offer direct access to clinical images and associated contextual patient record. OneMedNet proved the commercial and regulatory viability of imaging Regulatory Grade Real-World Data (“iRWDTM”), a promising emerging market, that exactly matches OneMedNet’s life science partners’ case selection protocol. OneMedNet has the immediate ability to quickly search and extensively curate multi-layer data from a federated group of healthcare facilities and to provide fast access to curated medical images that has proved the commercial and regulatory viability of imaging RWD and covers the complete value chain in imaging RWD, validated by an increasing federated network of providers. However, real-world data and real-world evidence has been increasingly adopted and our current competitors have, and future competitors may have, greater resources than we do and may also be able to devote greater resources to the development of their current and future technologies. These competitors also may have greater access to customers and may be able to establish cooperative or strategic relationships amongst themselves or with third parties that may further enhance their resources and competitive positioning.
Developments in improvements in real-world data and real-world evidence curation by competitors may materially adversely affect the sales, pricing and gross margins of our business. If a competing technology or process is developed that has superior operational or price performance, our business will be harmed. Similarly, if we fail to accurately predict and ensure that our real-world data and real-world evidence offering can address customers’ changing needs or emerging technological trends, or if our customers fail to achieve the benefits expected from our real-world data and real-world evidence offering, our business will be harmed.
We must continue to commit resources to develop our real-world data and real-world evidence technology in order to establish a competitive position, and these commitments will be made without knowing whether such investments will result in products potential customers will accept. There is no assurance we will successfully identify new customer requirements, develop and bring our real-world data and real-world evidence to market on a timely basis, or that products and technologies developed by others will not render our real-world data and real-world evidence obsolete or noncompetitive, any of which would adversely affect our business and operating results.
If we are unable to attract and retain key employees and qualified personnel, our ability to compete could be harmed.
We depend on the talents and continued efforts of our senior management and key employees. The loss of members of our management or key employees may disrupt our business and harm our results of operations. Further, our ability to manage further expansion will require us to continue to attract, motivate and retain additional qualified personnel. Competition for this type of personnel is intense, and we may not be successful in attracting, integrating and retaining the personnel required to grow and operate our business effectively. There can be no assurance that our current management team or any new members of our management team will be able to successfully execute our business and operating strategies.
Our operations could be damaged or adversely affected as a result of natural disasters and other catastrophic events.
Our operations could be adversely affected by events outside of our control, such as natural disasters, wars, health epidemics such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and other calamities. We cannot assure you that any backup systems will be adequate to protect us from the effects of fire, floods, typhoons, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins, war, riots, terrorist attacks or similar events. Any of the foregoing events may give rise to interruptions, breakdowns, system failures, technology platform failures or internet failures, which could cause the loss or corruption of data or malfunctions of software or hardware as well as adversely affect our ability to provide services.
| 19 |
Any financial or economic crisis, or perceived threat of such a crisis, including a significant decrease in consumer confidence, may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
In recent years, the United States and global economies suffered dramatic downturns as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a deterioration in the credit markets and related financial crisis as well as a variety of other factors including, among other things, extreme volatility in security prices, severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, ratings downgrades of certain investments and declining valuations of others. The United States and certain foreign governments have taken unprecedented actions in an attempt to address and rectify these extreme market and economic conditions by providing liquidity and stability to the financial markets. If the actions taken by these governments are not successful, the return of adverse economic conditions may negatively impact the demand for iRWDTM offering and may negatively impact our ability to raise capital, if needed, on a timely basis and on acceptable terms or at all.
Our ability to utilize our net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.
In general, under Section 382 of the Code, a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on its ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”), to offset future taxable income. The limitations apply if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” which is generally defined as a greater than 50 percentage point change (by value) in its equity ownership by certain stockholders over a three-year period. If we have experienced an ownership change at any time since our incorporation, we may already be subject to limitations on our ability to utilize our existing NOLs and other tax attributes to offset taxable income or tax liability. In addition, the Business Combination and future changes in our stock ownership, which may be outside of our control, may trigger an ownership change. Similar provisions of state tax law may also apply to limit our use of accumulated state tax attributes. As a result, even if we earn net taxable income in the future, our ability to use these or our pre-change NOL carryforwards and other tax attributes to offset such taxable income or tax liability may be subject to limitations, which could potentially result in increased future income tax liability to us.
There is also a risk that changes in law or regulatory changes made in response to the need for some jurisdictions to raise additional revenue to help counter the fiscal impact from unforeseen reasons, including suspensions on the use of net operating losses or tax credits, possibly with retroactive effect, may result in our existing net operating losses or tax credits expiring or otherwise being unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities.
We are subject to many hazards and operational risks that can disrupt our business, some of which may not be insured or fully covered by insurance.
Our operations are subject to many hazards and operational risks inherent to our business, including: (a) general business risks; (b) warranty liability; and (c) damage to third parties (e.g., our vendors), our infrastructure or properties caused by fires, floods and other natural disasters, power losses, telecommunications failures, terrorist attacks, riots, cyberattacks, public health crises such as the current COVID-19 pandemic (and other future pandemics or epidemics), human errors and similar events. As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, or similar pandemics, we have and may in the future experience disruptions that could severely impact our business and the business of our customers.
Our insurance coverage may be inadequate to cover our liabilities related to such hazards or operational risks. For example, we do not currently maintain cybersecurity insurance and our insurance providers may take the position that our coverage, under present circumstances, does not extend to business interruptions as they relate to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, we may not be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates we consider reasonable and commercially justifiable, and insurance may not continue to be available on terms as favorable as our current arrangements. The occurrence of a significant uninsured claim or a claim in excess of the insurance coverage limits maintained by us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to Being a Public Company
Our management has limited experience in operating a public company.
Our executive officers have limited experience in the management of a publicly traded company. Our management team may not successfully or effectively manage our transition to a public company that will be subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under federal securities laws. Their limited experience in dealing with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies could be a significant disadvantage in that it is likely that an increasing amount of their time may be devoted to these activities which will result in less time being devoted to the management and growth of our Company. We may not have adequate personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience, and training in the accounting policies, practices or internal controls over financial reporting required of public companies in the United States. The development and implementation of the standards and controls necessary for us to achieve the level of accounting standards required of a public company in the United States may require costs greater than expected. It is possible that we will be required to expand our employee base and hire additional employees to support our operations as a public company which will increase our operating costs in future periods.
We will incur significant increased expenses and administrative burdens as a public company, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We will face increased legal, accounting, administrative and other costs and expenses as a public company that legacy OneMedNet Corporation did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), including the requirements of Section 404, as well as rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the SEC, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the rules and regulations promulgated and to be promulgated thereunder, the PCAOB and the securities exchanges, impose additional reporting and other obligations on public companies. Compliance with public company requirements will increase costs and make certain activities more time-consuming. A number of those requirements will require us to carry out activities we have not done previously. For example, we have created new Board committees and adopted new internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. In addition, expenses associated with SEC reporting requirements will be incurred. Furthermore, if any issues in complying with those requirements are identified (for example, if the auditors identify a material weakness or significant deficiency in the internal control over financial reporting), we could incur additional costs rectifying those issues, and the existence of those issues could adversely affect our reputation or investor perceptions of it. It may also be more expensive to obtain director and officer liability insurance. Risks associated with our status as a public company may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board or as executive officers. The additional reporting and other obligations imposed by these rules and regulations will increase legal and financial compliance costs and the costs of related legal, accounting and administrative activities. These increased costs will require us to divert a significant amount of money that could otherwise be used to expand the business and achieve strategic objectives. Advocacy efforts by stockholders and third parties may also prompt additional changes in governance and reporting requirements, which could further increase costs.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business, or the market in which we operate, or if they change their recommendations regarding our securities adversely, the price and trading volume of our securities could decline.
The trading market for our securities will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, market or competitors. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on us. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of us, our share price and trading volume would likely be negatively impacted. If any of the analysts who may cover us change their recommendation regarding our shares of Common Stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, the price of our shares of Common Stock would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover us were to cease our coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on it, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our share price or trading volume to decline.
Our Common Stock may be subject to extreme volatility.
The trading price of our Common Stock may be subject to extreme volatility. We cannot predict the magnitude of future fluctuations in the trading price of our Common Stock. The trading price of our Common Stock may be affected by a number of factors, including events described in the risk factors set forth in this prospectus and in our periodic reports filed with the SEC from time to time, as well as our operating results, financial condition and other events or factors. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in our securities. Factors affecting the trading price of our securities may include:
| ● | announcements by us or our competitors regarding technical developments and levels of performance achieved by our or their real-world data and real-world evidence offering; | |
| ● | announcements by us regarding developments in our relationship with existing and future key customers; | |

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our securities irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general, and the Nasdaq in particular, have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of our securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for retail stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to the Company could depress our share price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of our securities also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.
Following certain periods of volatility in the market price of our securities, we may become subject of securities litigation. We have experienced, and may in the future experience additional litigation following periods of volatility. This type of litigation may result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.
Our business model is capital-intensive, and we may not be able to raise additional capital on attractive terms, if at all, which could be dilutive to stockholders. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed, our operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
We can be expected to continue to sustain substantial operating expenses without generating sufficient revenues to cover expenditures. Over time, we expect that we will need to raise additional funds, including through the issuance of equity, equity-related or debt securities or through obtaining credit from financial institutions to fund, together with our principal sources of liquidity, ongoing costs, any significant unplanned or accelerated expenses, and new strategic investments. We cannot be certain that additional capital will be available on attractive terms, if at all, when needed, which could be dilutive to stockholders, and our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Warrants
We may redeem unexpired Warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to Warrantholders.
Our public Warrants are currently exercisable for one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share. We have the ability to redeem outstanding Warrants at any time prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per Warrant, provided that the last reported sales price of Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date we send the notice of redemption to Warrantholders and provided certain other conditions are met. If and when the Warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption rights even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. As a result, we may redeem the Warrants, as set forth above even if the holders are otherwise unable to exercise the Warrants.
Redemption of the outstanding Warrants could force Warrantholders (i) to exercise their Warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for them to do so, (ii) to sell their Warrants at the then-current market price when they might otherwise wish to hold their Warrants or (iii) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding Warrants are called for redemption, we expect would be substantially less than the market value of their Warrants. None of the private placement Warrants will be redeemable by us so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

We employ an array of data security technologies, processes, and methods across our infrastructure to protect systems and sensitive information from unauthorized access. OneMedNet maintains comprehensive identity and access management practices (e.g., roles and access privileges for each user; multi-factor authentication, privileged user accounts, single sign-on, user lifecycle management) and employs a variety of security information and event management tools. We developed, maintain and utilize a global integrated information security framework to guide our practices, based on relevant industry frameworks and laws, including, but not limited to NIST, GxP, HITRUST, the ISO 27000 family, COBIT, GDPR, and HIPAA.
The framework consists of policies, standards, procedures, work Instructions and documentation. Information is classified into four categories to help individuals apply the right level of controls and safeguards to information, applications and systems. Our cybersecurity program focuses on all areas of our business, including cloud-based environments, data centers, devices used by employees and contractors, facilities, networks, applications, vendors, disaster recovery / business continuity and controls and safeguards enabled through business processes and tools.

We draw on the knowledge and insight of external cybersecurity experts and vendors, and internally employ dedicated, certified, cybersecurity staff, such as but not limited to, CISSP, CISM, CISA, CSSP or other equivalent certifications, that leverage an array of third-party tools to secure OneMedNet information infrastructure and protect systems and information from unauthorized access. Non-technical safeguards also play an important role in our cybersecurity program. We provide various training programs and tools to employees so they can avoid risky practices and help us promptly identify potential or actual issues. We also have global incident response procedures, global service tools to log incidents and issues for investigation, and an ethics line to report concerns and follow-up on matters already reported. The Compliance team, led by our Chief Compliance Officer, develops and implements our strategy, as well as monitors systems and devices for risks and threats.
Item 2. Properties
Our corporate headquarters is in Eden Prairie, Minnesota is leased on a month-to-month basis.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We may be subject from time to time to various claims, lawsuits and other legal and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims, lawsuits and other proceedings may involve highly complex issues that are subject to substantial uncertainties, and could result in damages, fines, penalties, non-monetary sanctions or relief.
We do not currently expect the results of any of these matters to have a material effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
We intend to recognize provisions for claims or pending litigation when we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Due to the inherent uncertain nature of litigation, the ultimate outcome or actual cost of settlement may materially vary from estimates. See “Risk Factors—Other Risks—Any future litigation against us could be costly and time-consuming to defend.”

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
On June 28, 2023, the Company executed a Securities Purchase Agreement for PIPE financing in the aggregate original principal amount of $1,595,744.70 and a purchase price of $1.5 million. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell to each of Thomas Kosasa, Dr. Jeffrey Yu, Aaron Green and Steve Kester (the “PIPE Investors”), a new series of senior secured convertible notes (the “PIPE Notes”), which Notes shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at the PIPE Investors election at the conversion price (rounded to the nearest 1/100th of one cent) which shall be computed as the lesser of:
(a) with respect to a conversion pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Securities Purchase Agreement (discussed below), the lesser of: (i) a price per share equal to the product of (x) 100% less the Discount and (y) the lowest per share purchase price of the Equity Securities issued in the Next Equity Financing; and (ii) $2.50 per share; and
(b) with respect to a conversion pursuant to Section 4.2 (discussed below), (relating to payment at maturity) or Section 4.3, $2.50 per share. The Securities Purchase agreement provided that the PIPE Investors’ $1.5 million investment in the PIPE Notes would close and fund contemporaneous to the Closing of the Business Combination.
Section 4.1 of the Securities Purchase Agreement provides that the principal balance and unpaid accrued interest on each Note will automatically convert into the PIPE Conversion Shares upon the closing of the Next Equity Financing (“Next Equity Financing” means the next sale or series of related sales by the Company of its Common Stock in one or more offerings relying on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D thereunder for exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act, from which the Company receives gross proceeds of not less than US$5,000,000 (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes).
Section 4.2 of the Securities Purchase Agreement provides that in the event of a Corporate Transaction or the repayment of such Note, at the closing of a corporate transaction, the holder of each Note may elect that either: (a) the Company will pay the holder of such Note an amount equal to the sum of (x) the outstanding principal balance of such Note, and (y) a premium equal to 20% of the outstanding principal balance of such Note (which premium, is in lieu of all accrued and unpaid interest due on such Note); or (b) such Note will convert into that number of Conversion Shares equal to the quotient (rounded down to the nearest whole share) obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest of such Note on a date that is no more than five days prior to the closing of such corporate transaction by (y) the applicable Conversion Price.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any sale (or series of related sales) of the Company’s Equity Securities to a special purpose acquisition company will not be deemed a “Next Equity Financing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, at its option, pay any unpaid accrued interest on each Note in cash at the time of conversion. The number of PIPE Conversion Shares the Company issues upon such conversion will equal the quotient (rounded down to the nearest whole share) obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest under each converting Note on a date that is no more than five days prior to the closing of the Next Equity Financing by (y) the applicable Conversion Price. At least five days prior to the closing of the Next Equity Financing, the Company will notify the holder of each Note in writing of the terms of the Equity Securities that are expected to be issued in such financing. The issuance of PIPE Conversion Shares pursuant to the conversion of each Note will be on, and subject to, the same terms and conditions applicable to the Equity Securities issued in the Next Equity Financing.

Company Overview
Founded in 2009, we provide innovative solutions that unlock the significant value contained within the clinical image archives of healthcare providers. Employing our proven OneMedNet iRWD™ solution, we securely de-identifies, searches, and curates a data archive locally, bringing a wealth of internal and third-party research opportunities to providers. By leveraging this extensive federated provider network, together with industry leading technology and in-house clinical expertise, OneMedNet successfully meets the most rigorous RWD Life Science requirements.
Business Combination
On November 7, 2023, we held the closing of the previously announced merger (the “Merger”) whereby Data Knights Merger Sub, Inc., merged with and into OneMedNet Solutions Corporation (formerly named OneMedNet Corporation), with OneMedNet Solutions Corporation continuing as the surviving entity, which resulted in all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of OneMedNet Solutions Corporation being exchanged for shares of the Company’s Common Stock upon the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “the Business Combination”). The Merger and other transactions that closed on November 7, 2023, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, led to Data Knights changing its name to “OneMedNet Corporation” and the business of the Company became the business of OneMedNet Solutions Corporation.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the total consideration for the Business Combination and related transactions (the “Merger Consideration”) was approximately $200 million. In connection with the Special Meeting, certain public holders (the “Redeeming Stockholders”) holding 1,600,741 shares of Common Stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee (“Continental”) in the trust account established in connection with Data Knights’ initial public offering (the “Trust Account”). Effective November 7, 2023, Data Knights’ units ceased trading, and effective November 8, 2023, OneMedNet’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “ONMD” and the warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “ONMDW.”
As a result of the Merger and the Business Combination, holders of Data Knights common stock automatically received common stock of OneMedNet, and holders of Data Knights warrants automatically received warrants of OneMedNet with substantively identical terms. At the Closing of the Business Combination, all shares of Data Knights owned by the Sponsor (consisting of shares of Common Stock and shares of Class B common stock, which we refer to as the founder shares), automatically converted into an equal number of shares of OneMedNet’s Common Stock, and the Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor, automatically converted into warrants to purchase one share of OneMedNet Common Stock with substantively identical terms.
Key Components of Consolidated Statements of Operations
Revenue
The Company generates revenue from two streams: (1) iRWD (imaging Real World Data) which provides regulatory grade imaging and clinical data in the Pharmaceutical, Device Manufacturing, CRO’s and AI markets and (2) BEAM which is a Medical Imaging Exchange platform between Hospital/Healthcare Systems, Imaging Centers, Physicians and Patients. iRWD is sold on a fixed fee basis based on the number of data units and the cost per data unit committed to in the customer contract. Revenue is recognized when the data is delivered to the customer. Beam revenue is subscription-based revenue which is recognized ratably over the subscription period committed to by the customer. The Company invoices its Beam customers quarterly or annually in advance with the customer contracts automatically renewing unless the customer issues a cancellation notice.
The Company excludes from revenue taxes collected from a customer that are assessed by a governmental authority and imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction. The transaction price for the products is the invoiced amount. Advanced billings from contracts are deferred and recognized as revenue when earned. Deferred revenue consists of payments received in advance of performance under the contract. Such amounts are generally recognized as revenue over the contractual period. The Company receives payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules. Accounts receivable is recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Payment terms on invoiced amounts typically range from zero to 90 days, with typical terms of 30 days.
Cost of Revenue
Our cost of revenue is composed of our distinct performance obligations of hosting, labor, and data cost.

| 27 |
Our revenue comprises of sales made from our data exchange (BEAM) and from data broker (RWD). For the year ended 2023, overall revenue was down by 11%. The primary driver for exchange revenue increase was delivery of revenue to a significant customer. The primary drive for the decrease in broker revenue was revenue deliveries pushed to Q1 of Fiscal 2024.
Cost of Revenue
| Year Ended December 31, 2023 | Year Ended December 31, 2022 | |||||||
| Cost of Revenue | 1,149,551 | 1,513,428 | ||||||
| As a percentage of Revenue | 113 | % | 131 | % | ||||
In 2023 we were able to reduce our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue by 24%. In the year ended 2023 our Software cost, iRWD consultants and iRWD Data cost each decreased by $0.2 million. The decrease was partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in payroll expenses.
General and Administrative
Our general and administrative expense increased year over year by $1.8 million from the year ended 2022 compared to the year ended 2023. The increase is primarily due to the additional cost incurred in connection with our Business Combination. We incurred an additional $1.0 million legal cost, $0.7 million on warrants issued to convertible note holders that were converted into share of commons stock, $0.4 million additional employees’ salaries, $0.3 million for investor relations cost, and $0.3 million in additional audit fees. The increase in general and administrative expenses were partially offset by $0.2 million decrease in both recruitment fees and bad debt expense.
Operation
Our operations expense includes payroll and consultant costs. Operations expense decreased year over year by $0.2 million from the year ended 2022 compared with the year ended 2023. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in headcount.
Sales & Marketing
Our sales & marketing expense increased by $0.15 million year over year from the year ended 2022 compared to the year ended 2023. The increase is due to the addition of an employee and consultant in 2023.
Research and development
Our research and development expense increased by $0.7 million year over year from the year ended 2022 compared to the year ended 2023. The increase is primarily due to the additional cost in salaries for curators, consultants and increased hosting costs, which increased by $0.4 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
Impairment
The Company recorded goodwill of $10.5 million in connection with the Business Combination. In December 2023, the Company concluded that the entire goodwill was impaired, as such the $10.5 million of goodwill was written-off.
Income tax provision
For the year ended 2023, the Company is in a significant loss, as such we did not record any income tax provision.
Interest Expense
The Company incurred interest expense on Loan extensions associated with the Business Combination, convertible promissory notes, the Pipe Senior Secured Convertible Notes and Loans made from related parties (Management and Directors). Interest expense in the year ended 2023 increased by $0.3 million. The increase was mainly from the Pipe Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued in 2023.
Change in Fair Value of Warrants
The change in Warrant Fair Value was due to the closing of the Business Combination Agreement and the resulting fluctuations of the share market price.
| 28 |
Stock Expense
The Company incurred approximately $3.5 million in common stock issuance expense for the Data Knight shares converted to OneMedNet Corporation shares.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, we provide an additional financial metric that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, or non-GAAP financial measure. We use this non-GAAP financial measure, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes, to measure executive compensation, and to evaluate our financial performance. This non-GAAP financial measure is Adjusted EBITDA, as discussed below.
We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure reflects our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business, as it facilitates comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies. We also believe that this non-GAAP financial measure enables investors to evaluate our operating results and future prospects in the same manner as we do. This non-GAAP financial measure may exclude expenses and gains that may be unusual in nature, infrequent, or not reflective of our ongoing operating results.
The non-GAAP financial measure does not replace the presentation of our GAAP financial measures and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of our business and a good measure of our historical operating trends. Adjusted EBITDA eliminates items that we do not consider to be part of our core operations. We define Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net loss excluding the following items: interest income; income taxes; depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets; unit and stock-based compensation; Business Combination transaction expenses; and other non-recurring items that may arise from time to time.
The non-GAAP adjustments, and our basis for excluding them from our non-GAAP financial measure, are outlined below:
| ● | Unit and Stock-based compensation – Although unit and stock-based compensation is an important aspect of the compensation paid to our employees, the grant date fair value varies based on the derived stock price at the time of grant, varying valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions, and the variety of award types. This makes the comparison of our current financial results to previous and future periods difficult to interpret; therefore, we believe it is useful to exclude unit and stock-based compensation from our non-GAAP financial measures in order to highlight the performance of our business and to be consistent with the way many investors evaluate our performance and compare our operating results to peer companies. | |
| ● | Business Combination transaction expenses – Business Combination transaction expenses represent the expenses incurred solely related to the Business Combination, which we completed on June 7, 2022. It primarily includes investment banker fees, legal fees, professional fees for accountants, transaction fees, advisory fees, due diligence costs, certain other professional fees, and other direct costs associated with strategic activities. These amounts are impacted by the timing of the Business Combination. We exclude Business Combination transaction expenses from our non-GAAP financial measures to provide a useful comparison of our operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies because such amounts vary significantly based on the magnitude of the Business Combination transaction and do not reflect our core operations. |
The following table reconciles GAAP net loss to Adjusted EBITDA during the periods presented (in thousands):
| Year Ended December 31, 2023 | Year Ended December 31, 2022 | |||||||

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2023, our principal sources of liquidity were net proceeds received related to the Business Combination and cash received from customers.

The following table shows net cash and cash equivalents provided by (used in) operating activities, net cash and cash equivalents used in investing activities, and net cash and cash equivalents provided by financing activities during the periods presented:
| Year Ended | ||||||||
| December 31, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | |||||||
| Net cash provided by (used in) | ||||||||
| Operating activities | $ | 8,220,910 | $ | 87,239,622 | ||||

| Financing Activities | (8,431,875 | ) | (88,032,226 | ) | ||||
Operating Activities
Our net cash and cash equivalents provided by (used in) operating activities consists of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, business combination cost, stock-based compensation expense, cash held in trust account, and as well as changes in operating assets and liabilities. The primary changes in working capital items, such as the changes in accounts receivable and deferred revenue, result from the difference in timing of payments from our customers related to contract performance obligation. This may result in an operating cash flow source or use for the period, depending on the timing of payments received as compared to the fulfillment of the performance obligation.
Net cash used in operating activities was $8.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. Net cash used in operating activities was due to our net loss of $23.2 million adjusted for non-cash items of $31.4 million, primarily consisting of the redemption of public shares in connection with the Business Combination causing the withdrawal of $29.0 million of cash held in the trust account, $0.9 million business combination cost, $0.4 million extension loan, and use of cash for operating assets and liabilities of $1.1million due to the timing of cash payments to vendors and cash receipts from customers.
By comparison, the Company’s net cash provided by operating activities was $87.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. Net cash provided by operating activities was due to our net loss of $6.2 million adjusted for non-cash items of $93.5 million, primarily consisting of the redemption of public shares in connection with the Business Combination causing the withdrawal of $88.3 million of cash held in trust account $1.6 million of stock-based compensation expense, $2.5 million extension loan, less $0.5 million and use of cash for operating assets and liabilities of $.5 million due to the timing of cash payments to vendors and cash receipts from customers.
Investing Activities
Our investing activities have consisted primarily of property and equipment purchases.
Net cash and cash equivalents used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2023 consisted of $44 thousand of purchased property and equipment.
By comparison, the Company’s net cash and cash equivalents used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2022 consisted primarily of $58 thousand of purchased property and equipment.
Financing Activities
Net cash flows from financing activities was ($8.4 million) for the year ended December 31, 2023, which primarily consisted of $10.7 million repayment on convertible promissory note payable, $1.5 million proceeds from issuance of PIPE Convertible Notes and Warrants, $0.5 proceeds from related loan, $28.8 million from Common Stock subject to redemption in connection with the Business Combination, $0.5 million underwriting fee related to the Business Combination, $0.3 million decrease in warrant liability, $18.2 million additional paid in capital and $11.6 million retained earning adjustment.
By comparison, the Company’s net cash flows from financing activities was ($88.0 million) for the year ended December 31, 2023, which primarily consisted of $5.5 million proceeds from convertible promissory notes payable, $88.5 million from common stock subject to redemption in connection with the Business Combination, $4.5 million decrease in warrant liability, $2.8 million additional paid in capital and $3.4 million retained earning adjustment.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments and Liquidity Outlook
Currently, management does not believe the cash and cash equivalents is sufficient to meet our foreseeable cash needs for at least the next 12 months. Our foreseeable cash needs, in addition to our recurring operating expenses, include our expected capital expenditures to support the expansion of our infrastructure and workforce, interest expense and minimum contractual obligations. Management hopes to raise cash either through a public offering or private debt and equity offering. Our inability to raise cash would cause to operate as a going concern.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support research and development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced product and service offerings, and the cost of any future acquisitions of technology or businesses. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may be unable to raise the funds on acceptable terms, if at all.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing our financial statements, we make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that can have a significant impact on our reported revenue, results of operations, and net income or loss, as well as on the value of certain assets and liabilities on our balance sheet during and as of the reporting periods. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary because future events and their effects on our results and the value of our assets cannot be determined with certainty and are made based on our historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur or additional information is obtained, and we may periodically be faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within our control and may not be known for a prolonged period of time. Because the use of estimates is inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.
We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with the following critical accounting policies involve significant judgment and thus have the most significant potential impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue Recognition
We generate revenue from the sale of products and services. A description of our revenue recognition policies is included in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Although most of our sales agreements contain standard terms and conditions, certain agreements contain multiple performance obligations or non-standard terms and conditions. For customer contracts that contain more than one performance obligation, we allocate the total transaction consideration to each performance obligation based on the relative stand-alone selling price of each performance obligation within the contract. We rely on either observable standalone sales or an expected cost plus a margin approach to determine the standalone selling price of offerings, depending on the nature of the performance obligation.
As we further discuss in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for contracts with customers entered into during fiscal years 2023 and 2022, revenue from the sales of our iRWD and BEAM are recognized over time as the asset created by our performance does not have alternative use to us and an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date is present. We recognize revenue as work progresses, using costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion. Incurred costs represent work performed, which correspond with and best depict transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs are incurred over a period of time, which can span periods, and the estimation of these costs requires management’s judgment. Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on the iRWD and BEAM and our reliance on the availability the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion is complex, subject to many variables, and requires significant judgment on a contract-by-contract basis. As part of this process, we review information including, but not limited to, any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule, identified risks and opportunities and the related changes in estimates of revenue and costs. The risks and opportunities relate to our judgment about the delays that may or may not be within our control. Risks and opportunities may also relate to supply chain trends and commodity pricing, as well as changes in foreign currencies. Changes in estimates of net sales, cost of sales, and the related impact to operating profit are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis, which recognizes the cumulative effect of the profit changes on current and prior periods based on a performance obligation’s percentage of completion in the current period. A significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of one of more of our performance obligations and could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Stock-based Compensation
Prior to the Business Combination, OneMedNet Corporation (now OneMedNet Solutions Corporation) had five authorized classes of membership interests, consisting of a class of common units known as the Class A Common Units (the “Class A Units”), a class of preferred units known as the Series A-2 Preferred Units (the “A-2 Preferred Units”), a class of preferred units known as the Series A-1 Preferred Units (the “A-1 Preferred Units”), Convertible Notes, Stock Options units, known as the Options and Warrants units granted to employees, officers, and directors pursuant to an incentive plan.
| 31 |
Following the Business Combination, the Company has authorized 101,000,000 shares of common stock, including 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. In addition, the Company has three classes of warrants (i.e., Public Warrants, Private Warrants and PIPE Warrants) issued and outstanding.
As the Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, all periods prior to the Business Combination have been retroactively adjusted using the Exchange Ratio as stipulated by the Merger Agreement for the equivalent number of shares outstanding immediately after the Merger to effect the reverse recapitalization. The Class A Units, A-2 Preferred Units, A-1 Preferred Units, Options and Warrants were converted into Common Stock using an exchange ratio of 1:1, the Convertible Notes were converted into Common Stock using an exchange ratio of 2.5 per share. This is presented within the consolidated statements of changes in redeemable preferred and common units and equity (deficit).
We typically issue restricted stock units (“RSUs”) as stock-based compensation. For RSUs, the fair value is the closing market price of the stock on the date immediately preceding the grant. We recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest. We account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than applying an estimated forfeiture rate. The graded-vesting method of expense recognition is applied to all awards with service-only conditions.
Certain RSUs involve stock to be issued upon the achievement of certain performance conditions. Such RSUs become available, subject to time-based vesting conditions if, and to the extent that, financial performance criteria for the applicable period are achieved. Accordingly, the number of RSUs earned will vary based on the level of achievement of financial performance objectives for the applicable period. Until such time that our financial performance can ultimately be determined, each quarter we estimate the number of RSUs to be earned based on an evaluation of the probability of achieving the financial performance objectives. Such estimates are revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods when the underlying factors change our evaluation of the probability of achieving the financial performance objectives. Accordingly, stock-based compensation expense associated with performance-based RSUs may differ significantly from the amount recorded in the current period.
The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation awards represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.
Warrant transactions
PIPE Warrants to purchase our shares of Common Stock may be accounted for as either liability or equity instruments depending on the terms of the warrant agreements. The warrants issued by us are accounted for as equity instruments due to our ability to settle the warrants through the issuance of units and the absence of terms which would require liability classification, including the rights of the grantee to require cash settlement. We classify these equity instruments within additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets.
Private Warrants to purchase units accounted for as liability instruments represent the warrants issued to significant shareholders and related parties.
In order to calculate warrant charges, we used the Black-Scholes pricing model, which required key inputs including volatility and risk-free interest rate and certain unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, requiring us to develop our own assumptions. We estimated the fair value of unvested warrants, considered to be probable of vesting, at the time. Based on that estimated fair value, we determined warrant charges, which were recorded as a reduction of the transaction price.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements:
As of December 31, 2023, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Instruction 8 to Item 303(b) of Regulation S-K.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of recently adopted accounting standards.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of certain recently issued accounting standards which may impact our financial statements in future reporting periods.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk, including changes to interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
| 32 |
Interest Rate Sensitivity
We had cash and cash equivalents totaling $0.05 million and $0.30 million as of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and investments with original maturities of three months or less, are stated at cost, and approximate fair value. Our investment policy and strategy are focused on preservation of capital, supporting our liquidity requirements, and delivering competitive returns subject to prevailing market conditions. We were not exposed to material risks due to changes in market interest rates given the liquidity of the cash and investments with original maturities of three months.
Foreign Currency Risk
Although we are exposed to foreign currency risk from our international operations, we do not consider it to have a material impact. Certain transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. Foreign currency transaction losses totaled $23,109 for the year ended December 31, 2023, which is up from $13,066 for the year ended December 31, 2022, each of which were recorded within other income, net on the consolidated statements of operations.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are generally held with large financial institutions. Although the Company’s deposits may exceed federally insured limits, the financial institutions that the Company uses have high investment-grade credit ratings and, as a result, the Company believes that, as of December 31, 2023, its risk relating to deposits exceeding federally insured limits was not significant.
The Company has no significant off-balance sheet risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts, or other hedging arrangements.
The Company believes its credit policies are prudent and reflect normal industry terms and business risk. The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers and generally requires payment from zero to 90 days from the invoice date with typical terms of 30 days. As of December 31, 2023, three customers accounted for over 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance, and one customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2022.

INDEX TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and the board of directors of OneMedNet Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of OneMedNet Corporation as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

ONEMEDNET CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Operations
OneMedNet Corporation (the “Company”) is a healthcare software company with solutions focused on digital medical image management, exchange, and sharing. The Company was incorporated in Delaware on September 20, 2006. The Company has been solely focused on creating solutions that simplify digital medical image management, exchange, and sharing. The Company has one wholly-owned subsidiary, OneMedNet Technologies (Canada) Inc., incorporated on October 16, 2015 under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia whose functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The Company’s headquarters location is Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
On November 7, 2023, as contemplated by the Company, Data Knights Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Data Knights, LLC, the Merger Sub’s sponsor merged with and into OneMedNet Corporation, with OneMedNet Corporation surviving the merger. The Business Combination is further described in Note 3, Business Combination.
Data Knights Acquisition Corp Merger
On November 7, 2023, we consummated a merger (the “Merger”) following the approval at the special meeting of the shareholders of Data Knights Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation held on October 17, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”), Data Knights Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Data Knights Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Data Knights”), consummated a merger (the “Merger”) with and into OneMedNet Solutions Corporation (formerly named OneMedNet Corporation), a Delaware corporation (“OneMedNet”) pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of April 25, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Data Knights, Merger Sub, OneMedNet, Data Knights, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor” or “Purchaser Representative”) in its capacity as the representative of the stockholders of Data Knights, and Paul Casey in his capacity as the representative of the stockholders of OneMedNet (“Seller Representative”). Accordingly, the Merger Agreement was adopted, and the Merger and other transactions contemplated thereby (collectively, the “Business Combination”) were approved and completed.
The Business Combination was accounted for as a as a reverse recapitalization with OneMedNet as the accounting acquirer under the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Accordingly, the financial statements of the combined company represent a continuation of the financial statements of OneMedNet.
On
June 28, 2023, the Company and Data Knights entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with certain investors
(collectively referred to herein as the “Purchasers”) for PIPE financing in the aggregate original principal amount of $
Effective immediately prior to the Closing, OneMedNet, Inc. issued the PIPE Notes to the Purchasers under the private offering exemptions under Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the markets it serves, including, but not limited to, global economic and financial market conditions, fluctuations in customer demand, acceptance of new products, development by its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, and protection of proprietary technology.
As previously reported on Form 8-K on February 9, 2024, the Company received written notice (the “Nasdaq Notice”), dated February 7, 2024, from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the market value of the Company’s listed securities (“MVLS”) did not maintain a minimum market value of $50,000,000 (the “Minimum MVLS Requirement”) as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company has a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until August 5, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum MVLS Requirement. Compliance may be achieved if the Company’s MVLS closes at $50,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time during the 180-day compliance period, in which case Nasdaq will notify the Company of its compliance and the matter will be closed.
If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum MVLS Requirement by August 5, 2024, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock is subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the relevant delisting determination to a hearings panel pursuant to the procedures set forth in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, there can be no assurance, if the Company does appeal the delisting determination by Nasdaq to the hearings panel, that such appeal would be successful. In such event, the Company may also seek to apply for a transfer to The Nasdaq Global Market if it meets the requirements for continued listing thereon. The Nasdaq Notice received have no immediate effect on the Company’s continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market or the trading of Company’s common stock, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other continued listing requirements. The Company is presently evaluating potential actions to regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in maintaining the listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Foreign Currency Translation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in U.S. dollars, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements include 100% of the accounts of wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Business Combination
We account for business acquisitions under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC Topic 805”). The total purchase consideration for an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued, and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets (including intangible assets) and liabilities assumed (including contingent liabilities) are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. We recognize goodwill if the fair value of the total purchase consideration is in excess of the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. We recognize a bargain purchase gain within Other income (expense), net, in the consolidated statement of operations if the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is in excess of the fair value of the total purchase consideration. We include the results of operations of the acquired business in the consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, and the amounts disclosed in the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from management’s estimates, judgments, and assumptions. Significant estimates, judgments, and assumptions used in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, those related to revenue, useful lives and realizability of long-lived assets, accounting for income taxes and related valuation allowances, and unit and stock-based compensation. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts, and experience.
Operating Segments
The Company operates as one operating segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM evaluates the Company’s financial information and resources and assesses the performance of these resources on a consolidated basis. The Company is not organized by market and is managed and operated as one business. A single management team that reports to the chief executive officer comprehensively manages the entire business. Accordingly, the Company does not accumulate discrete financial information with respect to separate divisions and does not have separate operating or reportable segments. Since the Company operates in one operating segment, all required financial segment information can be found in the consolidated financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid, short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. Cash equivalents consist of money market funds and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The balances, at times, may exceed FDIC Insured limits. The Company believes that, as of December 31, 2023, its risk relating to deposits exceeding federally insured limits was not significant.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts
receivable are unsecured, recorded at net realizable value, and do not bear interest. Accounts receivable are considered past due if
not paid within the terms established between the Company and the customer. Amounts are only written off after all attempts at collections
have been exhausted. The Company determines the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit
risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company established allowances
of $
The
Company believes its credit policies are prudent and reflect normal industry terms and business risk. The Company generally does not
require collateral from its customers and generally requires payment from 0 to 90 days from the invoice date. For the year ended December
31, 2023, there was 1 customer that accounted for

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. The straight-line method is used for computing depreciation and amortization. Assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to five years. Cost of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The
Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the estimated
future undiscounted net cash flows from the use of the asset are less than the carrying amount of that asset. There have been
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 — Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.
We measure the fair value of money market funds and certain marketable equity securities based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Other marketable securities were valued either based on recent trades of securities in inactive markets or based on quoted market prices of similar instruments and other significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. We did not hold significant amounts of marketable securities categorized as Level 3 assets as of the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, convertible notes payable and certain privately issued warrants. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The Company’s Private Warrants estimated fair values are provided by a third party pricing vendor and are reviewed by the Company’s management. The Private Warrants valuations are based on unobservable inputs reflecting the vendor’s assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants and thus are classified as Level 3.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized in accordance with the five-step model set forth by Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), which involves identification of the contract, identification of performance obligations in the contract, determination of the transaction price, allocation of the transaction price to the previously identified performance obligations, and revenue recognition as the performance obligations are satisfied.
Revenue from all customers is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a distinct good or service to a customer. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account under Topic 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation in proportion to the standalone selling price for each and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.
| F-8 |
Individual promised goods and services in a contract are considered a performance obligation and accounted for separately if the good or service is distinct. A good or service is considered distinct if the customer can benefit from the good or service on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer and the good or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the arrangement.
The transaction price for the products is the invoiced amount. Advanced billings from contracts are deferred and recognized as revenue when earned. Revenue is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur and when collection is considered probable The Company excludes from revenue taxes collected from a customer that are assessed by a governmental authority and imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction. Deferred revenue consists of payments received in advance of performance under the contract. Such amounts are generally recognized as revenue over the contractual period. The Company receives payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules. Accounts receivable is recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Payment terms on invoiced amounts typically range from zero to 90 days, with typical terms of 30 days.
The Company generates revenue from two streams: (1) iRWD (imaging Real World Data) which provides regulatory grade imaging and clinical data in the Pharmaceutical, Device Manufacturing, CRO’s and AI markets and (2) BEAM which is a Medical Imaging Exchange platform between Hospital/Healthcare Systems, Imaging Centers, Physicians and Patients. iRWD is sold on a fixed fee basis based on the number of data units and the cost per data unit committed to in the customer contract. Revenue is recognized when the data is delivered to the customer. Beam revenue is subscription-based revenue which is recognized ratably over the subscription period committed to by the customer. The Company invoices its Beam customers quarterly or annually in advance with the customer contracts automatically renewing unless the customer issues a cancellation notice.
Income Taxes
The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”), which requires the recognition of tax benefits or expenses on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of its assets and liabilities by applying the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Such net tax effects on temporary differences are reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as deferred tax assets and liabilities.
ASC Topic 740 prescribes a two-step approach for the recognition and measurement of tax benefits associated with the positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return that affects amounts reported in the financial statements. The Company has reviewed and will continue to review the conclusions reached regarding uncertain tax positions, which may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on ongoing analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. To the extent that the Company’s assessment of the conclusions reached regarding uncertain tax positions changes as a result of the evaluation of new information, such change in estimate will be recorded in the period in which such determination is made. The Company reports income tax-related interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions, if applicable, as a component of income tax expense
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when the Company believes that it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company provides deferred taxes at the enacted tax rate that is expected to apply when the temporary differences reverse. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of realizing the related benefits.
Patents and Trademarks
Costs associated with the submission of a patent application are expensed as incurred given the uncertainty of the patents resulting in probable future economic benefits to the Company and are included in research and development expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.
Research and Development
The Company account for its research and development cost in accordance with ASC Topic 730, Research and Development (“ASC Topic 730”). ASC Topic 730 requires that all R&D costs be recognized as an expense as incurred. However, some costs associated with R&D activities that have an alternative future use (e.g., materials, equipment, facilities) may be capitalizable. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 research and development expenditures were charged to operating expense as incurred..
Stock-based Compensation
The Company has a stock-based compensation plan, which is described in more detail in Note 8. The fair value of stock option and warrant grants are determined on the date of grant using the Black Scholes valuation model. Forfeitures of stock based awards are recorded as the actual forfeitures occur. Stock based compensation expense is recognized over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures, using the straight-line method. The Company converted all unvested stock based compensation awards to common shares in the year ended December 31, 2023.
| F-9 |
General, and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include all costs that are not directly related to satisfaction of customer contracts. General, and administrative expenses include items for the Company’s selling and administrative functions, such as sales, finance, legal, human resources, and information technology support. These functions include costs for items such as salaries and benefits and other personnel-related costs, maintenance and supplies, professional fees for external legal, accounting, and other consulting services, intangible asset amortization, and depreciation expense.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has not elected to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company , can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). This ASU updates reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Adoption of the ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is also permitted. This ASU will likely result in us including the additional required disclosures when adopted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and expect to adopt them for the year ending December 31, 2024.
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) amending existing income tax disclosure guidance, primarily requiring more detailed disclosure for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and can be applied on either a prospective or retroactive basis. We are currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on our income tax disclosures.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 805). This ASU requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities (deferred revenue) from acquired contracts using the revenue recognition guidance in Topic 606. At the acquisition date, the acquirer applies the revenue model as if it had originated the acquired contracts. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this ASU prospectively on January 1, 2023. This ASU has not and is currently not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
3. Business Combination
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization as OneMedNet Corporation was determined to be the accounting acquirer under Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations. This determination was primarily based on OneMedNet Corporation comprising the ongoing operations of the combined entity, OneMedNet Corporation’s senior management comprising of all the senior management of the combined company, and the prior shareholders of OneMedNet owning a majority of the voting power of the combined entity. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the combined entity upon consummation of the Business Combination represented a continuation of the financial statements of OneMedNet Corporation with the merger being treated as the equivalent of OneMedNet issuing stock for the net assets of Data Knights Inc., accompanied by a recapitalization. Operations prior to the Business Combination are presented as those of OneMedNet Corporation in future reports of the combined entity.

As a result of the Business Combination, the Company was appointed as the sole managing member of Data Knights. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax base. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the consolidated financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to be settled or recovered. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
The
Company has established a valuation allowance related deferred tax assets on deductible temporary differences, tax losses, and tax credit

During 2020, the Company adopted a new equity incentive plan (the Plan), which provides for the granting of incentive and nonqualified stock options to employees, directors, and consultants. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has reserved shares of common stock under the Plan. The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its stockholders. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant; those option awards generally vest with a range of to of continuous service and have ten-year contractual terms. As there is no public data available for the share price valuation, the Company considers the Fair Market Value of $ to be on the conservative side and similar to the exercise price. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control, as defined in the Plan. The Plan also permits the granting of restricted stock and other stock-based awards. Unexercised options are cancelled upon termination of employment and become available under the Plan.

Black Scholes Assumptions
The determination of the fair value of stock options using an option valuation model is affected by the Company’s stock price valuation, as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. The volatility assumption is based on volatilities of similar companies over a period of time equal to the expected term of the stock options. The volatilities of similar companies are used in conjunction with the Company’s historical volatility because of the lack of sufficient relevant history for the Company’s common stock equal to the expected term. The expected term of the employee stock options represents the weighted average period for which the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. The expected term assumption is estimated based primarily on the options’ vesting terms and remaining contractual life and employees’ expected exercise and post- vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The dividend yield assumption is based on the expectation of no future dividend payouts by the Company.
The fair value of the Company’s previous stock options was estimated assuming no expected dividends and the following weighted average assumptions:

12. Fair Value Measures
The fair value measurement accounting standards establish a framework for measuring fair value and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard does not require any new fair value measurements; rather, it applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This pronouncement also establishes a three-level hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability on the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1—inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for an identical asset or liability in an active market
Level 2—inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for a similar asset or liability in an active market or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability
Level 3—inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability
The following table presents the Company’s financial assets measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis using the above input categories as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

the Directors for punctual payment and performance by the Company on its Obligations to the Directors. The Intellectual Property of the
Company serves as the collateral for the Directors. The senior secured convertible notes and warrants were issued through a private issuance
of a public entity (PIPE) transaction, which is a form of debt and equity offering under an exception in the securities law for qualifying
private placements by issuers of publicly traded securities. The Company received a total of $
The
warrants are classified as equity and the total proceeds received from the Directors are allocated based on the relative fair values

None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of December 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As disclosed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we completed the Business Combination on November 7, 2023. Prior to the Business Combination Data Knights, our predecessor, was a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. As a result, previously existing internal controls are no longer applicable or comprehensive enough as of the assessment date, because Data Knights’ operations prior to the Business Combination were insignificant compared to those of the consolidated entity post-Business Combination. As a result, management was unable, without incurring unreasonable effort or expense, to complete an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023. Accordingly, we are excluding management’s report on internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 215.02 of the SEC Division of Corporate Finance’s Regulation S-K Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Exhibit 4.1
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
OneMedNet Corporation (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) has two classes of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”): common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and warrants, each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 (the “Warrants”). The following summary of the material terms of the Company’s securities is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities. We urge you to read our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws in their entirety for a complete description of the rights and preferences of Company’s securities as well as the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the “DGCL”).
Defined terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K to which this Description of Securities is an exhibit.
General
The rights of OneMedNet stockholders are governed by Delaware law, OneMedNet’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) and OneMedNet’s Bylaws (the “Bylaws”). The following description of the terms of the OneMedNet’s capital stock is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable provisions of Delaware law as well as the Charter and Bylaws, incorporated by reference to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of which this Exhibit 4.1 is a part (the “Annual Report”). Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning as set forth in the Annual Report.
Authorized and Outstanding Stock
Our authorized capital stock, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share, is 101,000,000 shares, consisting of (a) 100,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”), and (b) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”).
Common Stock
As of March 20, 2024, there are 23,572,232,230 shares of Common Stock outstanding. All shares of Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
Voting rights. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Holders of Common Stock will vote together as a single class on all matters. Except as expressly required by law, holders of common stock, as such, will not be entitled to vote on any amendment to the Charter (including any certificate of designation) that relates solely to the rights, powers, preferences (or the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof).
Dividend rights. The holders of Common Stock will be entitled to the payment of dividends and other distributions of cash, stock or property on the Common Stock when, as and if declared by the board of directors in accordance with law.
Rights upon liquidation. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary, our funds and assets that may be legally distributed to our stockholders will be distributed among the holders of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock pro rata in accordance with the number of shares held by each such holder.
Other rights. The holders of Common Stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of the Common Stock will be subject to those of the holders of any shares of the preferred stock we may issue in the future.
Authorized but Unissued Shares. The authorized but unissued shares of our common stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval, subject to any limitations imposed by the listing standards of NASDAQ. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate finance transactions, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock could make more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Business Combinations. OneMedNet will not be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination, such as a merger, with an “interested stockholder” (which includes a person or group owning 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock) for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless (with certain exceptions) the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Accordingly, OneMedNet will not be subject to any anti-takeover effects of Section 203. Nevertheless, the Charter contains provisions that will have a similar effect to Section 203, which will take effect from and after the Restriction Effective Time, except that such restrictions on business combinations shall not apply to any interested stockholder that became such prior to the Restriction Effective Time.
Stockholder Action; Special Meetings of Stockholders. The Charter provides that stockholders may not take action by written consent, but may only take action at annual or special meetings of stockholders. As a result, a holder controlling a majority of OneMedNet’s capital stock would not be able to amend our bylaws or remove directors without holding a meeting of stockholders called in accordance with our bylaws. Further, the Charter provides that special meetings of our stockholders may be called, for any purpose or purposes, at any time only by or at the direction of our board of directors, the chairperson of OneMedNet’s board of directors or the Chief Executive Officer, and will not be called by any other person or persons. These provisions might delay the ability of stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or for stockholders controlling a majority of OneMedNet’s capital stock to take any action, including the removal of directors.
Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations. In addition, our Bylaws established an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting or special meeting of stockholders. Generally, in order for any matter to be “properly brought” before a meeting, the matter must be (i) specified in a notice of meeting given by or at the direction of our board of directors, (ii) if not specified in a notice of meeting, otherwise brought before the meeting by the board of directors, or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder who (a) was a stockholder on the date of giving the notice, on the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and at the time of the meeting, (b) entitled to vote at the meeting, and (c) has complied with the advance notice procedures specified in our Bylaws or properly made such proposal in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, which proposal has been included in the proxy statement for the annual meeting. Stockholders may not nominate persons for election to our board of directors at any special meeting of stockholders.
Further, for business and nominations of persons for election to the board of directors to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must (i) provide Timely Notice (as defined below) thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary and (ii) provide any updates or supplements to such notice at the times and in the forms required by the Bylaws.
To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received in accordance with an “Acceptable Delivery Method” not earlier than the 120th day, and not later than the 90th day, prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the annual meeting is called for a date that is more than 30 days earlier or delayed (other than as a result of adjournment or recess) by more than 60 days later than such anniversary date, or, if the first public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such annual meeting, such stockholders’ notice must be received not earlier than the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the later of (1) the 90th day prior to such annual meeting and (2) the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting is first made by the Company (such notice within such time periods, “Timely Notice”).
Stockholders at an annual meeting or special meeting may only consider proposals or nominations properly brought before a meeting of stockholders. These provisions could have the effect of delaying stockholder actions that are favored by the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities until the next stockholder meeting.
Amendment of Charter or Bylaws. Our Bylaws may be amended or repealed by a majority vote of the board of directors or by the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. The affirmative vote of a majority of the board of directors and at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) in voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon would be required to amend certain provisions of the Charter.
Quorum
Our Bylaws provide that, at any meeting of the board of directors, a majority of the total number of directors then in-office constitutes a quorum.
No Cumulative Voting
Under Delaware law, the right to vote cumulatively does not exist unless the certificate of incorporation expressly authorizes cumulative voting. The Charter does not authorize cumulative voting.
Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Our Charter and Bylaws provide indemnification and advancement of expenses for the directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to certain limited exceptions. We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers. In some cases, the provisions of those indemnification agreements may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained under Delaware law. In addition, as permitted by Delaware law, the Charter and Bylaws include provisions that eliminate the personal liability of directors for monetary damages resulting from breaches of certain fiduciary duties as a director. The effect of this provision is to restrict our rights and the rights of our stockholders in derivative suits to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of fiduciary duties as a director. These provisions may be held not to be enforceable for violations of the federal securities laws of the United States.
Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal and Payment
Under the DGCL, with certain exceptions, OneMedNet’s stockholders will have appraisal rights in connection with a merger or consolidation of OneMedNet. Pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, stockholders who properly demand and perfect appraisal rights in connection with such merger or consolidation will have the right to receive payment of the fair value of their shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery.
Stockholders’ Derivative Actions
Under the DGCL, any of our stockholders may bring an action in the Company’s name to procure a judgment in its favor, also known as a derivative action, provided that the stockholder bringing the action is a holder of our shares at the time of the transaction to which the action relates.
Forum Selection
The Charter provides that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for any internal or intra-corporate claim or any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine as defined by the laws of the State of Delaware, including, but not limited to, (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of OneMedNet; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee or stockholder of OneMedNet to OneMedNet or its stockholders; or (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Charter or the Bylaws, or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, will be a state court located within the State of Delaware (or, if no court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware). Further, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the sole and exclusive forum for any action asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder will be the federal district court for the District of Delaware (or if such court does not have jurisdiction over such action, any other federal district court) of the United States; provided that, if such forum is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the sole and exclusive forum for any action asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act will be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware.
Transfer Restrictions
The A&R Registration Rights Agreement provides that OneMedNet Equityholders are subject to certain restrictions on transfers with respect to any New OneMedNet Holdings Common Units or shares of the Company’s common stock held by the OneMedNet Equityholders pursuant to a direct exchange or redemption of New OneMedNet Holdings Common Units pursuant to the New OneMedNet Holdings LLC Agreement. Pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, such restrictions began at the Closing and, with respect to shares held by the OneMedNet Director Equityholders, end on the date that is the earlier of (a) one year after the Closing Date and (b) the date following the Closing Date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property, and (ii) with respect the OneMedNet Officer Equityholders, end on the date that is the earlier of (a) 180 days after the Closing Date and (b) the date following the Closing Date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of OneMedNet’s shareholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property. Such restrictions with respect to the OneMedNet Officer Equityholders ended on December 4, 2022.
Trading Symbol and Market
Our Common Stock is listed on NASDAQ under the symbol “ONMD.”

2.1.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement (and notwithstanding that the Purchaser used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), the number of Registrable Securities to be registered shall be reduced on a on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”). In the event of a reduction hereunder, the Purchaser shall give the Holder and Founders, as applicable, at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Holder’s or Founder’s allotment. Promptly after such SEC Guidance is no longer applicable with respect to some or all of the remaining unregistered Registrable Securities, the Purchaser shall file an additional Registration Statement in accordance with this Section 2 to with respect to such shares.
2.1.3 Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Purchaser a completed Selling Stockholder Questionnaire within five (5) Business Days following the date of this Agreement. Each Holder further acknowledges and agrees that it shall not be entitled to be named as a selling security holder in the Registration Statement or use the Prospectus for offers and resales of Registrable Securities at any time unless such Holder has returned to the Purchaser a completed and signed Selling Stockholder Questionnaire. If a Holder of Registrable Securities returns a Selling Stockholder Questionnaire after the deadline specified in the previous sentence, the Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are required to name such Holder as a selling security holder in the Registration Statement or any pre-effective or post-effective amendment thereto and to include (to the extent not theretofore included) in the Registration Statement the Registrable Securities identified in such late Selling Stockholder Questionnaire; provided that the Purchaser shall not be required to file an additional Registration Statement solely for such shares. Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that the information in the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire will be used by the Purchaser in the preparation of the Registration Statement and hereby consents to the inclusion of such information in the Registration Statement.
2.2 Demand Registration.
2.2.1 Request for Registration. At any time and from time to time on or after the date of this Agreement, the Holders of twenty-five percent (25%) of the Registrable Securities may make a written demand for registration under the Securities Act of all or part of their Registrable Securities, as the case may be (a “Demand Registration”). Any demand for a Demand Registration shall specify the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The Purchaser will within twenty (20) days of the Purchaser’s receipt of the Demand Registration notify all holders of Registrable Securities of the demand, and each holder of Registrable Securities who wishes to include all or a portion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the Demand Registration (each such holder including shares of Registrable Securities in such registration, a “Demanding Holder”) shall so notify the Purchaser within ten (10) days after the receipt by the holder of the notice from the Purchaser. Upon any such request, the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in the Demand Registration, subject to Section 2.1.4 and the provisos set forth in Section 3.1.1. The Purchaser shall not be obligated to effect no more than an aggregate of three (3) Demand Registrations under this Section 2.1.1 in respect of all Registrable Securities.
2.2.2 Effective Registration. A registration will not count as a Demand Registration until the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration has been declared effective and the Purchaser has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, however, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration is interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission or any other governmental agency or court, the Registration Statement with respect to such Demand Registration will be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders thereafter elect to continue the offering; provided, further, that the Purchaser shall not be obligated to file a second Registration Statement until a Registration Statement that has been filed is counted as a Demand Registration or is terminated.
2.2.3 Underwritten Offering. If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders so elect and such holders so advise the Purchaser as part of their written demand for a Demand Registration, the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an underwritten offering; provided that the total offering price is reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $50 million. In such event, the right of any holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Demanding Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority-in-interest of the holders initiating the Demand Registration.
2.2.4 Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Demand Registration that is to be an underwritten offering, in good faith, advises the Purchaser and the Demanding Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Registrable Securities which the Demanding Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other securities which the Purchaser desires to sell and the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by other shareholders of the Purchaser who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Shares” ), then the Purchaser shall include in such registration: (i) first, the Registrable Securities as to which Demand Registration has been requested by the Demanding Holders (Pro Rata in accordance with the number of shares that each such Person has requested be included in such registration, regardless of the number of shares held by each such Person) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Purchaser desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.
2.2.5 Withdrawal. If, prior to filing of the applicable “red herring prospectus” or prospectus supplement used for marketing such registration, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders disapprove of the terms of any underwriting or are not entitled to include all of their Registrable Securities in any offering, such majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders may elect to withdraw from such offering by giving written notice to the Purchaser and the Underwriter or Underwriters of their request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration. If the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders withdraws from a proposed offering relating to a Demand Registration, then such registration shall not count as a Demand Registration provided for in Section 2.1.
2.3 Piggy-Back Registration.
2.3.1 Piggy-Back Rights. If at any time on or after the date of this Agreement the Purchaser proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by the Purchaser for its own account or for shareholders of the Purchaser for their account (or by the Purchaser and by shareholders of the Purchaser including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1), other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Purchaser’s existing shareholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Purchaser or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Purchaser shall (x) give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no event less than twenty (20) days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, of the offering, and (y) offer to the holders of Registrable Securities in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of shares of Registrable Securities as such holders may request in writing within ten (10) days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration” ). The Purchaser shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Purchaser and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All holders of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an Underwriter or Underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in the immediately preceding sentences, the right to a Piggy-Back Registration set forth under this Section 2.2.1 with respect to the Registrable Securities shall terminate on the seventh anniversary of the Effective Date.
2.3.2 Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Piggy-Back Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Purchaser and the holders of Registrable Securities in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock which the Purchaser desires to sell, taken together with the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been demanded pursuant to written contractual arrangements with persons other than the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested under this Section 2.2, and the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms hereof exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, then the Purchaser shall include in any such registration:
a) If the registration is undertaken for the Purchaser’s account: (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Purchaser desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the shares of Common Stock or other securities, if any, comprised of Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms hereof, Pro Rata, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of other persons that the Purchaser is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares;
b) If the registration is a “demand” registration undertaken at the demand of persons other than the holders of Registrable Securities, (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of the demanding persons that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the shares of Common Stock or other securities comprised of Registrable Securities, Pro Rata, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms hereof, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Purchaser desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of other persons that the Purchaser is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.
2.3.3 Withdrawal. Any holder of Registrable Securities may elect to withdraw such holder’s request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving written notice to the Purchaser of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The Purchaser (whether on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal by persons making a demand pursuant to written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Purchaser shall pay all expenses incurred by the holders of Registrable Securities in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration as provided in Section 3.3.
2.3.4 Unlimited Piggy-Back Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.1 hereof. The Holders shall have unlimited Piggy-Back Registration Rights.
2.3.5 Registrations on Form S-3. The holders of Registrable Securities may at any time and from time to time, request in writing that the Purchaser register the resale of any or all of such Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration which may be available at such time (“Form S-3”); provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not be obligated to effect such request through an underwritten offering. Upon receipt of such written request, the Purchaser will promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities, and, as soon as practicable thereafter, effect the registration of all or such portion of such holder’s or holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities or other securities of the Purchaser, if any, of any other holder or holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from the Purchaser; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not be obligated to effect any such registration pursuant to this Section 2.3: (i) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering; or (ii) if the holders of the Registrable Securities, together with the holders of any other securities of the Purchaser entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at any aggregate price to the public of less than $500,000. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall not be counted as Demand Registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.1.
2.4 Block Trades; Other Coordinated Offerings.
2.4.1 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2,4, at any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf Registration is on file with the Commission, if a Demanding Holder wishes to engage in (a) an underwritten registered offering (whether firm commitment or otherwise) not involving a “road show” or other substantial marketing efforts prior to pricing (commonly referred to as a “Block Trade”) or (b) an otherwise coordinated “at the market” or similar registered offering through a broker, sales agent or distribution agent, whether as agent or principal (an “Other Coordinated Offering”), in each case, with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, either (x) $10 million or (y) all remaining Registrable Securities held by the Demanding Holder, then such Demanding Holder shall notify the Purchaser of the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering at least five (5) business days prior to the day such offering is expected to commence, and the Purchaser shall as expeditiously as possible use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering; provided that the Demanding Holders representing a majority of the Registrable Securities wishing to engage in the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Purchaser and any Underwriters, brokers, sales agents or placement agents prior to making such request in order to facilitate preparation of the registration statement, prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering.
2.4.2 The Purchaser may facilitate a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering if it determines that sufficient shares shall be traded by any Holder or Holders that would be more efficiently traded as a block trade.
2.4.3 Prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall have the right to submit a notice to the Purchaser and the Underwriter(s) if any, of their intention to withdraw from such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a block trade prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.4.3.
2.4.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Section 2.3 shall not apply to a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering initiated by a Demanding Holder pursuant to this Section 2.4.

2.4.6 A Holder in the aggregate may demand no more than two (2) Block Trades or Other Coordinated Offerings pursuant to this Section 2.4 in any twelve (12) month period.
3. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.
3.1 Filings; Information. Whenever the Purchaser is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2, the Purchaser shall use its best efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof as expeditiously as practicable, and in connection with any such request:
3.1.1 Filing Registration Statement. The Purchaser shall use its best efforts to, as expeditiously as possible after receipt of a request for a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on any form for which the Purchaser then qualifies or which counsel for the Purchaser shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of all Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof, and shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and use its best efforts to keep it effective for the period required by Section 3.1.3; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall have the right to defer any Demand Registration for up to ninety (90) days, and any Piggy-Back Registration for such period as may be applicable to deferment of any demand registration to which such Piggy-Back Registration relates, in each case if the Purchaser shall furnish to the holders a certificate signed by Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Purchaser stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Purchaser, it would be materially detrimental to the Purchaser and its shareholders for such Registration Statement to be effected at such time; provided further, however, that the Purchaser shall not have the right to exercise the right set forth in this provision more than once in any 365-day period in respect of a Demand Registration hereunder.

In addition, the holders of Registrable Securities shall comply with all prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act and applicable SEC regulations.
3.5 Legend Removal Obligations. In connection with the written request of any Holder, the Purchaser shall remove any restrictive legend included on the certificates (or, in the case of book-entry shares, any other instrument or record) representing such Holder’s and/or its affiliates’ or permitted transferee’s ownership of Registrable Securities, and promptly issue a certificate (or evidence of the issuance of securities in book-entry form) without such restrictive legend or any other restrictive legend to the holder of the applicable shares of Registrable Securities upon which it is stamped, if (i) such Registrable Securities are registered for resale under the Securities Act and such Registration Statement for such Registrable Securities has not been suspended under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, (ii) such Registrable Securities are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) such Registrable Securities are eligible for sale pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act or Rule 144 without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions.

Any reasonable and documented fees (with respect to the transfer agent, the Purchaser’s counsel, or otherwise) associated with the removal of such legend shall be borne by the Purchaser. If a legend is no longer required pursuant to the foregoing, the Purchaser will, as soon as practicable following the delivery by any Holder or its permitted transferee to the Purchaser or the transfer agent (with notice to the Purchaser) of a legended certificate (if applicable) representing such Registrable Securities and, to the extent such sale is not pursuant to an effective registration statement, such other documentation as reasonably requested by the Purchaser, deliver or cause to be delivered to the holder of such Registrable Securities a certificate representing such Registrable Securities (or evidence of the issuance of such Registrable Securities in book-entry form) that is free from all restrictive legends; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser will not be required to deliver any opinion, authorization, certificate or direction to remove the restrictive legend pursuant to this Section 3.5 if (x) removal of the legend would result in or facilitate transfer of securities in violation of applicable law or (y) following receipt of instruction from the Purchaser, the transfer agent refuses to remove the legend.

The Purchaser also shall indemnify any Underwriter of the Registrable Securities, their officers, affiliates, directors, partners, members and agents and each person who controls such Underwriter on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification provided above in this Section 4.1.
4.2 Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each selling Holder will, in the event that any registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by such selling Holder, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, each of its directors and officers and each Underwriter (if any), and each other selling Holder and each other person, if any, who controls another selling Holder or such Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, insofar as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Purchaser by such selling Holder expressly for use therein, and shall reimburse the Purchaser, its directors and officers, and each other selling holder or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigation or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Each selling Holder’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by such selling Holder.
4.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, such person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other person (the “Indemnifying Party” ) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.
4.4 Contribution.
4.4.1 If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
4.4.2 The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding Section 4.4.1.
4.4.3 The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities which gave rise to such contribution obligation. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
4.5 Survival. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any officer, director or controlling person of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of securities.
5. RULE 144.
5.1 Rule 144. The Purchaser covenants that it shall file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action as the holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission.
6. MISCELLANEOUS.
6.1 Other Registration Rights. The Purchaser represents and warrants that no person, other than the holders of the Registrable Securities, has any right to require the Purchaser to register any shares of the Purchaser’s capital stock for sale or to include shares of the Purchaser’s capital stock in any registration filed by the Purchaser for the sale of shares of capital stock for its own account or for the account of any other person. Further, the Purchaser represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or agreement with similar terms and conditions and in the event of a conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.
6.2 Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Purchaser hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by the Purchaser in whole or in part. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder may be freely assigned or delegated by such holder of Registrable Securities in conjunction with and to the extent of any transfer of Registrable Securities by any such holder. This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties, to the permitted assigns of the Holders or holder of Registrable Securities or of any assignee of the Holders or holder of Registrable Securities. This Agreement is not intended to confer any rights or benefits on any persons that are not party hereto other than as expressly set forth in Article 4 and this Section 6.2.
6.3 Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals or other communications (collectively, “Notices” ) required or permitted to be given hereunder or which are given with respect to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be personally served, delivered by reputable air courier service with charges prepaid, or transmitted by hand delivery, telegram, telex or facsimile, addressed as set forth below, or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by written notice. Notice shall be deemed given on the date of service or transmission if personally served or transmitted by telegram, telex or facsimile; provided, that if such service or transmission is not on a business day or is after normal business hours, then such notice shall be deemed given on the next business day. Notice otherwise sent as provided herein shall be deemed given on the next business day following timely delivery of such notice to a reputable air courier service with an order for next-day delivery.

Exhibit 10.5
FORM OF LOCK-UP AGREEMENT
THIS LOCK-UP AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement, as defined below) by and between (i) Data Knights Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (including any successor entity thereto, the “Purchaser”), and (ii) _______________ (the “Subject Party”). Any capitalized term used but not defined in this Agreement will have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Merger Agreement.
WHEREAS, on April 25, 2022, (i) the Purchaser, (ii) Data Knights Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser (“Merger Sub”), (iii) Data Knights, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser Representative”), (iv) Paul Casey (the “Seller Representative”), and (v) OneMedNet Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties thereto intend to effect the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”), as a result of which all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be exchanged for the Stockholder Merger Consideration, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and in view of the valuable consideration to be received by the Subject Party thereunder, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which the Purchaser Common Stock received by the Subject Party in the Merger (all such securities, together with any securities paid as dividends or distributions with respect to such securities or into which such securities are exchanged or converted, the “Restricted Securities”) shall become subject to limitations on disposition as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, which are incorporated into this Agreement as if fully set forth below, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Lock-Up Provisions.
(a) The Subject Party hereby agrees not to, during the period commencing from the Closing and ending on the earliest of (x) six (6) months after the date of the Closing and (y) the date after the Closing on which the Purchaser consummates a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization, or other similar transaction with an unaffiliated third party that results in all of the Purchaser’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of the Purchaser Common Stock for cash, securities, or other property (the “Lock-Up Period”): (i) lend, offer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, donate, assign, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Securities, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Restricted Securities, or (iii) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, whether any such transaction described in clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) above is to be settled by delivery of Restricted Securities or other securities, in cash or otherwise (any of the foregoing described in clauses (i), (ii), or (iii), a “Prohibited Transfer”).
(b) The foregoing shall not apply to the transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities (I) to any Permitted Transferee or (II) pursuant to a court order or settlement agreement related to the distribution of assets in connection with the dissolution of marriage or civil union; provided, however, that in either of cases (I) or (II), it shall be a condition to such transfer that such transfer complies with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other applicable law, and that the transferee executes and delivers to the Purchaser an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Restricted Securities subject to the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Subject Party, and there shall be no further transfer of such Restricted Securities except in accordance with this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term “Permitted Transferee” shall mean: (1) the members of the Subject Party’s immediate family (for purposes of this Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean with respect to any natural person, any of the following: such person’s spouse or domestic partner, the siblings of such person and his or her spouse or domestic partner, and the direct descendants and ascendants (including adopted and step children and parents) of such person and his or her spouses or domestic partners and siblings), (2) any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the Subject Party or the immediate family of the Subject Party, (3) if the Subject Party is a trust, to the trustor or beneficiary of such trust or to the estate of a beneficiary of such trust, (4) in the case of an entity, officers, directors, general partners, limited partners, members, or stockholders of such entity that receive such transfer as a distribution, or related investment funds or vehicles controlled or managed by such persons or their respective affiliates, (5) to any affiliate of the Subject Party, and (6) any transferee whereby there is no change in beneficial ownership. The Subject Party further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser that are consistent with the foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.
(c) If any Prohibited Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Prohibited Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and the Purchaser shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Restricted Securities as one of its equity holders for any purpose, and shall refuse to record any such purported transfer of the Restricted Securities in the books of the Company. In order to enforce this Section 1, the Purchaser may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Restricted Securities of the Subject Party (and Permitted Transferees and assigns thereof) until the end of the Lock-Up Period.
(d) During the Lock-Up Period, each certificate evidencing any Restricted Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF [●], 2022, BY AND AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE “ISSUER”) AND THE ISSUER’S SECURITY HOLDER NAMED THEREIN, AS AMENDED. A COPY OF SUCH LOCK-UP AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”
(e) For the avoidance of any doubt, the Subject Party shall retain all of its rights as a stockholder of the Purchaser during the Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote any Restricted Securities.
(f) The foregoing notwithstanding, to the extent any Subject Party is granted a release or waiver from the restrictions contained in this Section 1 prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, then all Subject Parties shall be automatically granted a release or waiver from the restrictions contained in this Section to the same extent, on substantially the same terms as and on a pro rata basis with, the Subject Party to which such release or waiver is granted.
2. Miscellaneous; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions herein shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. This Agreement and all rights and obligations of a party are personal and may not be transferred or delegated at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser may freely assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any successor entity (whether by merger, consolidation, equity sale, asset sale, or otherwise) without obtaining the consent or approval of the Subject Party. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision herein be enforced by, any other person.
(b) Third Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any instrument or document executed by any party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall create any rights in, or be deemed to have been executed for the benefit of, any person or entity that is not a party hereto or thereto or a successor or permitted assign of such a party.
(c) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof. All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any state or federal court located in Wilmington, Delaware (or in any appellate courts thereof) (the “Specified Courts”). Each party hereto hereby (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Specified Court for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto and (ii) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by any Specified Court. Each party agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other action or proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such party at the applicable address set forth in Section 2(f). Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.
(d) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO (i) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (ii) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
(e) Interpretation. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (i) any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine, or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns, and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii) “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding or succeeding such term and shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (iii) the words “herein,” “hereto,” and “hereby” and other words of similar import in this Agreement shall be deemed in each case to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or other subdivision of this Agreement; and (iv) the term “or” means “and/or”. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.
(f) Notices. All notices, consents, waivers, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered (i) in person, (ii) by facsimile or other electronic means, with affirmative confirmation of receipt, (iii) one Business Day after being sent, if sent by reputable, nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) three (3) Business Days after being mailed, if sent by registered or certified mail, pre-paid and return receipt requested, in each case to the applicable party at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice):

(g) Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Purchaser and the Subject Party. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision.
(h) Authorization on Behalf of the Purchaser. The parties acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any and all determinations, actions, or other authorizations under this Agreement on behalf of the Purchaser, including enforcing the Purchaser’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, or providing any waivers with respect to the provisions hereof, shall solely be made, taken, and authorized by majority of the disinterested independent directors of the Purchaser’s board of directors. In the event that the Purchaser at any time does not have any disinterested directors, so long as the Subject Party has any remaining obligations under this Agreement, the Purchaser will promptly appoint one in connection with this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that an affiliate of a Subject Party serves as a director, officer, employee, or other authorized agent of the Purchaser or any of its current or future affiliates, neither the Subject Party nor its affiliate shall have authority, express or implied, to act or make any determination on behalf of the Purchaser or any of its current or future affiliates in connection with this Agreement or any dispute or Action with respect hereto.
(i) Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal, and enforceable, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby nor shall the validity, legality, or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal, and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision.
(j) Specific Performance. Each party acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement are unique, recognizes and affirms that, in the event of a breach of this Agreement, money damages will be inadequate and there will be no adequate remedy at law, and agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the adversely affected party or parties shall be entitled to an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security, this being in addition to any other right or remedy available under this Agreement, at law or in equity.
(k) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly canceled; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties under the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies or any of the obligations of the parties hereto under any other agreement between a Subject Party and the Purchaser or any certificate or instrument delivered in connection with the Purchase, and nothing in any other agreement, certificate, or instrument shall limit any of the rights or remedies or any of the obligations under this Agreement.
(l) Further Assurances. From time to time, at another party’s request and without further consideration (but at the requesting party’s reasonable cost and expense), each party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(m) Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by facsimile signature or by email in portable document format in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
