Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously disclosed, on June 6, 2021, 1Life Healthcare, Inc. (“One Medical”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with SB Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of One Medical (“Merger Sub”), Iora Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Iora”), and Fortis Advisors LLC, solely in its capacity as the representative of the stockholders of Iora. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Iora (the “Merger”), with Iora surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of One Medical.
The completion of the Merger is conditioned upon, among things, the expiration or termination of the waiting period (and any extension thereof) applicable to the Merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”). At 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 21, 2021, the waiting period applicable to the Merger under the HSR Act expired. Accordingly, the portion of the conditions to the Merger relating to the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act has been satisfied. The Merger continues to be subject to the remaining conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.
Although the requisite waiting period under the HSR Act has expired, at any time before or after the Merger closes, if the U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division (“DOJ”) or Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) believes that the Merger may substantially lessen competition in any line of commerce in violation of the U.S. federal antitrust laws, the DOJ and FTC has the authority to challenge the Merger by seeking a federal court order enjoining the transaction or, if Iora has already been acquired, requiring disposition of Iora, or the divestiture of assets of One Medical, Iora, or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. U.S. state attorneys general and private persons may also bring legal action under the U.S. federal and state antitrust laws. While One Medical believes that the consummation of the Merger will not violate any U.S. federal or state antitrust law, there can be no assurance that a challenge to the Merger on antitrust grounds will not be made or, if a challenge is made, what the result will be.
