FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains statements that relate to future events and expectations and, as such, constitute forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our strategies, outlook, business and financial prospects, business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Although OptimizeRx believes that the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, these expectations may not be attained and it is possible that actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances, many of which are beyond OptimizeRx’s control.
For a discussion of some of the specific factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the information contained in this report, see the following sections of this report: Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” and Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” including the disclosures under “Critical Accounting Estimates”. Market projections are subject to the risks discussed in this report and other risks in the market. OptimizeRx disclaims any intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether in response to new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, when used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “OptimizeRx,” or the “Company” refer to OptimizeRx Corporation and its subsidiaries.

SUMMARY OF RISK FACTORS
An investment in our Company is subject to a number of risks. Set forth below is a high-level summary of some, but not all, of these risks. You should review and carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in more detail in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Annual Report, which includes a more complete discussion of the risks summarized below as well as a discussion of other risks related to our business and an investment in our securities.
Risks Related to Our Financial Position
| ● | We have a history of losses, and may not be able to achieve profitability, or, if achieved, sustain profitability. |
| ● | We may need to raise additional capital to grow our business and may not be able to do so on favorable terms, if at all. |
| ● | Servicing debt and funding other obligations requires a significant amount of cash, and our ability to generate sufficient cash depends on many factors, some of which are beyond our control. |
| ● | Restrictions in our Term Loan could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, ability to make distributions, and the value of our securities. |
Risks Related to Our Business: Our Industry, Operations, and Competition
| ● | Seasonal trends in the pharmaceutical brand marketing industry could affect our operating results. |
| ● | Developing and implementing new and updated applications, features and services for our solutions may be more difficult than expected, may take longer and cost more than expected and may not result in sufficient increases in revenue to justify the costs. |
| ● | Any failure to offer high-quality customer support for our solutions may adversely affect our relationships with our customers and harm our financial results. |
| ● | We are dependent on a concentrated group of customers. |
| ● | If we are unable to maintain our contracts with electronic prescription platforms and electronic health record systems, our business will suffer. |
| ● | Our agreements with eRx and EHR channel partners could be subject to audit. |
| ● | If we fail to attract new customers or retain and expand existing customers, our business and future prospects may be materially and adversely impacted. |
| ● | The markets in which we operate are competitive, continually evolving and, in some cases, subject to rapid change. |
| ● | Developments in the healthcare industry could adversely affect our business. |
Risks Related to Regulatory Matters
| ● | Actual or perceived failures to comply with applicable laws and regulations that affect the healthcare industry, including data protection, privacy and security, fraud and abuse laws, regulations, standards and other requirements could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. |
| ● | Our operations may be impacted from changes to current regulations and future legislation. |
| ● | If our customers, partners, and third-party providers fail to comply with the extensive and changing landscape of legal and regulatory requirements affecting the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, they could face increased costs and/or penalties, which could lead to us losing business. |
Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property and Technology
| ● | We are dependent, in part, on our intellectual property. If we are not able to protect our proprietary rights or if those rights are invalidated or circumvented, our business may be adversely affected. |
| ● | Cybersecurity incidents could disrupt business operations, result in the loss of critical and confidential information, and adversely impact our reputation and results of operations. |
| ● | We may be unable to support our technology to further scale our operations successfully. |
| ● | Our business will suffer if our network systems fail or become unavailable. |
| ● | The use of AI technology in our operations and IT infrastructure could improve internal processes, but poses security risks and privacy risks; the use of AI technology also faces regulatory uncertainty and scrutiny given that AI technology is rapidly growing and evolving. |
iii
Risks Related to Managing Our Growth
| ● | If we are unable to manage growth, our operations could be adversely affected. |
| ● | We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates, complete acquisitions or integrate acquisitions successfully. |
| ● | Our acquisition activities may disrupt our ongoing business and may involve increased expenses, and we may not realize the financial and strategic goals contemplated at the time of a transaction. |
Risks Related to Inflation, Interest Rates, and Other Adverse Economic Conditions
| ● | Interest rate increases may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. |
| ● | We could be subject to economic, political, regulatory and other risks arising from our international operations. |
| ● | Inflation, the current interest rate environment, and other adverse economic conditions may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. |
| ● | Geopolitical events may affect our business and our customer base and have a material adverse impact on our sales and operating results. |
| ● | Impairment charges for goodwill or other long-lived assets may need to be recognized or increased if we lose a major customer, experience a decline in our common stock price or experience changes to the regulatory environment affecting pharmaceutical advertising restricting the use of our technology. |
| ● | Market conditions could adversely change and our earnings could decline resulting in charges to impair intangible assets, such as goodwill. |
General Risks
| ● | Our business and growth may suffer if we are unable to attract and retain members of our senior management team and other key employees. |
| ● | The impact and effects of public health crises, pandemics and epidemics could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results. |
Risks Relating to Our Common Stock
| ● | If a market for our common stock is not maintained, shareholders may be unable to sell their shares. |
| ● | The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control. |
| ● | We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future and any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock. |
| ● | Certain provision of our charter, bylaws and Nevada law may discourage takeover attempts and business combinations that shareholders might consider in their best interests. |
| ● | Actions of activist stockholders could be disruptive and costly and could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, and/or share price. |
Risks Related to Being a Public Company
| ● | We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Failure to remediate the material weakness or any other material weaknesses that we identify in the future could result in material misstatements in our future financial statements. |
| ● | Conflicting views on environmental, social and governance matters may have a negative impact on our business, impose additional costs on us, and expose us to additional risks. |
