The accompanying notes are an integral part of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

1. Organization and Nature of Business

Description of Business

Rani Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (“Rani Holdings”) was formed as a Delaware corporation in April 2021 for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering (“IPO”) of its Class A common stock, and to facilitate certain organizational transactions and to operate the business of Rani Therapeutics, LLC (“Rani LLC”) and its consolidated subsidiary, Rani Management Services, Inc. (“RMS”). Rani Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries, Rani LLC and RMS are collectively referred to herein as “Rani” or the “Company.”

The Company is a clinical stage biotherapeutics company focusing on advancing technologies to enable the administration of biologics and drugs orally, to provide patients, physicians, and healthcare systems with a convenient alternative to painful injections. The Company is advancing a portfolio of oral ~~biologic~~ therapeutics using its proprietary delivery technology, the RaniPill capsule. The Company is headquartered in San Jose, California and operates in 1 segment.

Initial Public Offering and Organizational Transactions

In August 2021, the Company closed its IPO and sold 7,666,667 shares of its Class A common stock, including shares issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option, for cash consideration of $11.00 per share and received approximately $73.6 million in net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts, offering costs and commissions. The Company used the proceeds from the IPO to purchase 7,666,667 newly issued economic nonvoting Class A units (“Class A Units”) of Rani LLC.

In connection with the IPO, the Company was party to the following organizational transactions (the “Organizational Transactions”):

•

Amended and restated Rani LLC’s operating agreement (the “Rani LLC Agreement”) to appoint the Company as the sole managing member of Rani LLC and effectuated an exchange of all outstanding (i) convertible preferred units, automatic or net exercised warrants to purchase preferred units and common units, and common units of Rani LLC, into Class A Units and an equal number of voting noneconomic Class B units (“Class B Units”) and (ii) all Profits Interests into Class A Units. In connection with the closing of the IPO, each LLC interest was exchanged 1 for 0.5282 as determined and predicated on the initial public offering price of the Company’s Class A common stock;

•

Amended and restated the Company’s certificate of incorporation in July 2021, to provide for the issuance of (i) Class A common stock, each share of which entitles its holders to one vote per share, (ii) Class B common stock, each share of which entitles its holders to 10 votes per share on all matters presented to the Company's stockholders, (iii) Class C common stock, which has no voting rights, except as otherwise required by law and (iv) preferred stock;

•

Exchanged 12,047,925 shares of Class A common stock for existing Class A Units of Rani LLC held by certain individuals and entities (the “Former LLC Owners”) on a one-for-one basis;

•

Issued 29,290,391 shares of Class B common stock to certain individuals and entities that continued to hold Class A Units in Rani LLC after the IPO (the “Continuing LLC Owners”) in return for an equal amount of Rani LLC Class B Units;

•

Entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with certain of the Continuing LLC Owners.

The Continuing LLC Owners are entitled to exchange, subject to the terms of the Rani LLC Agreement, the Class A Units they hold in Rani LLC, together with the shares they hold of the Company Class B common stock (together referred to as a "Paired Interest"), in return for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis provided that, at the Company’s election, the Company has the ability to effect a direct exchange of such Class A common stock or make a cash payment equal to a volume weighted average market price of one share of Class A common stock for each Paired Interest redeemed. Any shares of Class B common stock will be cancelled on a one-for-one basis if, at the election of the Continuing LLC Owners, the Company redeems or exchanges such Paired Interest pursuant to the terms of the Rani LLC Agreement. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, certain individuals who continue to own interests in Rani LLC but do not hold shares of the Company’s Class B common stock (“non-corresponding Class A Units”) have the ability to exchange their non-corresponding Class A Units of Rani LLC for 1,387,471 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock.

Liquidity

The Company has incurred recurring losses since its inception, including net losses of $~~13.8~~29.8 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $~~14.6~~22.2 million and for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 had negative cash flows from operations of $~~9.4~~19.7 million. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future as it continues to develop the RaniPill capsule. The Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents of $~~107.8~~97.2 million as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 will be sufficient to fund its operations through at least twelve months from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company expects to finance its future operations with its existing cash and through strategic financing opportunities that could include, but are not limited to, future offerings of its equity, collaboration or licensing agreements, or the incurrence of debt. However, there is no guarantee that any of these strategic or financing opportunities will be executed or realized on favorable terms, if at all, and some could be dilutive to existing stockholders and holders of interests in the Company. The Company will not generate any revenue from product sales unless, and until, it successfully completes clinical development and obtains regulatory approval for the RaniPill capsule. If the Company obtains regulatory approval for the RaniPill capsule, it expects to incur significant expenses related to developing its internal commercialization capability to support manufacturing, product sales, marketing, and distribution.

The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through either the issuance of equity or debt, is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the market interest of the Company, which itself is subject to a number of development and business risks and uncertainties, as well as the uncertainty that the Company would be able to raise such additional capital at a price or on terms that are favorable to the Company. Market volatility resulting from the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) pandemic or other factors could also adversely impact the Company’s ability to access capital when and as needed.

5. Evaluation Agreement

Takeda

Takeda Pharmaceutical Company, Limited ("Takeda") was collaborating with the Company to conduct research on the use of the RaniPill capsule for the oral delivery of factor VIII (“FVIII”) therapy for patients with hemophilia A. The agreement granted Takeda a right of first negotiation to a worldwide, exclusive license under the Company’s intellectual property related to a

FVIII-RaniPill therapeutic. Takeda paid the Company up-front payments of $5.9 million upon execution of and subsequent modifications to the agreement. Upon the initial evaluation services being completed, Takeda had an option to pay the Company $3.0 million to perform later stage evaluation services. Takeda also had the ability to terminate the agreement at any time by providing 30 days written notice after the effective date of the agreement. Unless terminated early, the agreement term ended upon the expiration of the right of first negotiation period which is 120 days after the completion of the evaluation services. The Takeda agreement could be terminated for cause by either party based on uncured material breach by the other party or bankruptcy of the other party. Upon early termination, all ongoing activities under the agreement and all mutual collaboration, development and commercialization licenses and sublicenses would terminate.

The Company identified one material promise under the Takeda agreement, the obligation to perform services to evaluate if Takeda’s FVIII therapy can be orally delivered using the RaniPill capsule (“Research and Development Services”), which was concluded to be a single performance obligation.

In May 2021, the Company received written notice from Takeda as to their intent to terminate the contract for convenience. Due to the delivery of the termination notice, the Company determined that there were no further enforceable rights and obligations under the agreement beyond May 2021 and the remaining $2.0 million of deferred revenue was recognized in 2021.

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, 0 contract revenue related to the Takeda agreement was recognized. For ~~three~~the six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the Company recognized contract revenue related to the Takeda agreement of $~~0.8~~2.7 million. There was 0 deferred revenue as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 nor December 31, 2021.

6. Related Party Transactions

InCube Labs, LLC (“ICL”) is wholly-owned by the Company’s founder and Chairman and his family. The founder and Chairman is the father of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s Chief Scientific Officer is also the brother of the founder and Chairman and thus uncle of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

Under the amendment in March 2022, Rani LLC has a right to occupy certain facilities leased by ICL in Milpitas, California and San Antonio, Texas (“Occupancy Services”) for general office, research and development, and light manufacturing. The Rani LLC-ICL Service Agreement has a twelve-month term and will automatically renew for a successive twelve-month periods unless terminated; except that the Occupancy Services in Milpitas, California have a term until February 2023, with the potential for two annual renewals, subject to approval by ~~ICL~~the landlord upon a nine months’ notice of renewal prior to the end of the lease term, and the Occupancy Services in San Antonio, Texas continue until either party gives six months’ notice of termination. Except for the Occupancy Services, Rani LLC or ICL may terminate services under the Rani LLC-ICL Service Agreement upon 60 days' notice to the other party.

Exclusive License, Intellectual Property and Common Unit Purchase Agreement

The Company, through Rani LLC, and ICL entered into an exclusive license and an intellectual property agreement and common unit purchase agreement in 2012. Pursuant to the common unit purchase agreement, the Company issued 46.0 million common units to ICL in return for rights to exclusive commercialization, development, use and sale of certain products and services related to the RaniPill capsule technology. ICL also granted the Company a fully-paid, royalty-free, sublicensable, exclusive license under the intellectual property made by ICL during the course of providing services to the Company related to the RaniPill capsule technology. Such rights were not recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as the transaction was considered a common control transaction.

In June 2021, ICL and the Company, through Rani LLC, entered into an Amended and Restated Exclusive License Agreement which replaced the 2012 Exclusive License Agreement between ICL and Rani LLC, as amended in 2013, and terminated the 2012 Intellectual Property Agreement between ICL and Rani LLC, as amended in June 2013. Under the Amended and Restated Exclusive License Agreement, the Company has a fully paid, exclusive license under certain scheduled patents related to optional features of the device and certain other scheduled patents to exploit products covered by those patents in the field of oral delivery of sensors, small molecule drugs or biologic drugs including, any peptide, antibody, protein, cell therapy, gene therapy or vaccine. The Company covers patent-related expenses and, after a certain period, the Company will have the right to acquire four specified United

States patent families from ICL by making a one-time payment of $0.3 million to ICL for each United States patent family that the Company desires to acquire, up to $1.0 million in the aggregate. This payment will not become an obligation until the fifth anniversary of the Amended and Restated Exclusive License Agreement. The Amended and Restated Exclusive License Agreement will terminate when there are no remaining valid claims of the patents licensed under the Amended and Restated Exclusive License Agreement.

ICL to the Company. Additionally, the Company agreed not to license these patents to a third party in a specific field outside the field of oral delivery of sensors, small molecule drugs or biologic drugs including, any peptide, antibody, protein, cell therapy, gene therapy or vaccine, if ICL can prove that it or its sublicensee has been in active development of a product covered by such patents in that specific field. ICL may grant sublicenses under this license to third parties only with the Company’s prior approval. The Non-Exclusive License Agreement will continue in perpetuity unless earlier terminated.

The Company determined that the sales price was above fair value of such units and as a result recorded equity-based compensation expense of $0.5 million for which $0.2 million was recorded as general and administrative expense and $0.3 million was recorded as research and development expense. The $0.5 million represents the difference between the sales price and fair value of the common units.

The TRA provides that the Company pay to such entities and individuals 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, it is deemed to realize from exchanges of Paired Interests (Note 2). During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, these parties to the TRA exchanged 2,309,490 Paired Interests that resulted in tax benefits subject to the TRA (Note 10).

7. Leases

The Company pays for the use of its office, laboratory and manufacturing facility in San Jose, California as part of the RMS-ICL Service Agreement. In April 2022, RMS assigned the RMS-ICL Service Agreement to Rani LLC. The RMS-ICL Service Agreement has a twelve-month term and will automatically renew for successive twelve-month periods unless ~~RMS~~Rani LLC or ICL terminate occupancy under the RMS-ICL Service Agreement upon six months’ notice. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company determined it to be reasonably certain that it would exercise its renewal option for a successive twelve-month period and this has been considered in the determination of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities associated with the RMS-ICL Service Agreement.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the renewal option for the facility in Milpitas, California was not deemed reasonably certain to be exercised and the Occupancy Services were considered short term.

The Company's leases are accounted for as operating leases and require certain fixed payments of real estate taxes and insurance in addition to future minimum lease payments, and certain variable payments of common area maintenance costs and building utilities. Variable lease payments are expensed in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. These variable lease costs are payments that vary in amount beyond the commencement date, for reasons other than passage of time. Total operating lease expense incurred with ICL was $~~0.3~~0.7 million and $~~0.2~~0.4 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Short term lease expense are included in the total operating lease expense and not immaterial for the periods presented. Variable lease payments are excluded in the total operating lease expense and immaterial for the periods presented.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation as the Company operates in an industry susceptible to patent legal claims. The Company accounts for estimated losses with respect to legal proceedings and claims when such losses are probable and estimable. Legal costs associated with these matters are expensed when incurred. The Company is currently involved in several opposition proceedings at the European Patent Office, all of which were asserted against usit by Novo Nordisk AS. The ultimate outcome of this matter as a loss is not probable nor is there any amount that is reasonably estimable. However, the outcome of the opposition proceedings could impact the Company’s ability to commercialize its products in Europe.

Tax Receivable Agreement

The Company is party to a TRA with certain of the Continuing LLC Owners (Note 2). As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company has not recorded a liability under the TRA related to the income tax benefits originating from the exchanges of Paired Interest or non-corresponding Class A Units of Rani LLC as it is not probable that the Company will realize such tax benefits. To the extent the Company is able to realize the income tax benefits associated with the exchanges of Paired Interest or non-corresponding Class A Units of Rani LLC subject to the TRA,, the TRA payable would range from 0 to $~~19.9~~20.4 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

The amounts payable under the TRA will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the amount, character, and timing of the taxable income of the Company in the future. Should the Company determine that the payment of the TRA liability becomes probable at a future date based on new information, any changes will be recorded on the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss at that time.

11. ~~Long-Term Debt~~

~~Convertible Notes~~

In September 2020, Rani LLC, entered into a secured convertible loan agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement” or the “Loan”) with Avenue Venture Opportunity Fund L.P. (“Avenue”), whereby Rani LLC could borrow up to a maximum of $~~10.0~~ ~~million, with $3.0~~ ~~million being immediately available. The remaining $7.0~~ ~~million available could be borrowed if Avenue received evidence of at least $40.0~~ million of net cash proceeds from the sale or issuance of securities to existing investors, or upfront payments in connection with strategic partnerships by March 31, 2021. Rani LLC opted not to draw down this additional amount, and the option has since expired undrawn. In exchange for access to this facility, Rani LLC agreed to issue warrants exercisable into Rani LLC preferred units amounting to $~~0.9~~ ~~million; Rani LLC subsequently granted~~ ~~118,929~~ ~~Series E warrants with an exercise price of $7.1471~~ ~~per unit.~~

~~In July 2021, the Company repaid, in full, the $3.0~~ ~~million of principal and approximately $0.5~~ ~~million of final payment and fees under the Loan and Security Agreement resulting in a $0.7~~ million loss on extinguishment of debt recorded in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss in 2021. Avenue Capital also waived their right to convert the outstanding principal into Series E Preferred Units.

~~Paycheck Protection Program Loan~~

~~In April 2020, the Company received a $1.3~~ ~~million small business loan under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP Loan”) as part of the CARES Act. The PPP Loan was due to mature in~~ ~~April 2022, and bore interest at a rate of~~ ~~1.0~~% per annum. The PPP Loan was evidenced by a promissory note, which contained customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breaches of representations and warranties. The PPP Loan could be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with 0 ~~prepayment penalties.~~

~~The Company used all proceeds from the PPP Loan to retain employees, maintain payroll and make lease and utility payments. In September 2021, the Company repaid in full the $1.3~~ ~~million of principal and interest related to the PPP Loan.~~

~~12.~~ Income Taxes

The Company is the managing member of Rani LLC and, as a result, consolidates the financial results of Rani LLC and its taxable subsidiary RMS in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Rani LLC is a pass-through entity for United States federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes following the IPO and Organizational Transactions. As an entity classified as a partnership for tax purposes, Rani LLC is not subject to United States federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by Rani LLC is passed through to, and included in the taxable income or loss of, its members, including the Company. The Company is taxed as a corporation and pays corporate federal, state and local taxes with respect to income allocated to ~~the~~ it, based on ~~the~~ its economic interest in Rani LLC. The Company's tax provision also includes the activity of RMS, which is taxed as a corporation for United States federal and state income tax purposes.

The Company’s effective income tax rate was (~~0.10~~0.51)% and (0.21)% for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As a result of the ~~February~~exchanges for the six months ended June 30, 2022 ~~and March 2022 exchanges~~ (Note 8), the Company recorded a $~~17.4~~18.3 million deferred tax asset related to income tax benefit associated with the basis of the net assets of Rani LLC. Because of the Company’s history of operating losses, the Company believes that recognition of the deferred tax assets arising from such future income tax benefits is currently not likely to be realized and, accordingly, has recognized a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets.

There were 0 material changes to uncertain tax positions for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the Company does not anticipate material changes within the next 12 months.

Shares of Class B common stock do not share in the Company’s earnings and are not participating securities. Accordingly, separate presentation of loss per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been provided. The outstanding shares of Class B common stock were determined to be anti-dilutive for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. Therefore, they are not included in the computation of net loss per Class A common share attributable to Rani Holdings.

13. Subsequent Events

Lease

In July 2022, the first annual extension period under the RMS-ICL Service Agreement was approved by the landlord for Occupancy Services in Milpitas, California, for an additional twelve month lease term. The future aggregate minimum lease payments associated with the additional Occupancy Services total $0.4 million.

Loan Agreement

In August 2022, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement and related supplement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund, L.P (the “Lender”). The Loan Agreement provides for term loans (the “Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount up to $45.0 million. A Loan of $30.0 million is committed at closing, with $15.0 million funded immediately and $15.0 million available to be drawn between October 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022. The remaining $15.0 million of Loans (“Tranche 2”) is uncommitted and is subject to certain conditions and approval by the Lender. The purpose of the Loans is for general corporate purposes.

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the maturity date for the Loans is August 1, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”). The Loan principal is repayable in equal monthly installments beginning September 2024 (extendable to March 2025 under certain conditions. The Loans bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the greater of (A) the prime rate, as published by the Wall Street Journal from time to time plus 5.60% or (B) 10.35%.

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, beginning on the first anniversary of the closing, the Company is subject to a financial covenant that requires the Company to have at least two drug products utilizing its oral delivery technology in clinical development at all times. The financial covenant does not apply if the Company has a market capitalization above $650.0 million. The Loan Agreement also contains various covenants and restrictive provisions that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to (i) incur additional debt, guarantees or liens; (ii) pay any dividends; (iii) enter into certain change of control transactions; (iv) sell, transfer, lease, license, or otherwise dispose of certain assets; (v) make certain investments or loans; and (vi) engage in certain transactions with related persons. The Loan Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, in which the Lender is granted continuing security interests.

In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company issued to the Lender warrants to purchase 76,336 shares of the Company's Class A common stock, as may be adjusted for certain anti-dilution adjustments, dividends, stock splits, and reverse stock splits, at an exercise price per share equal to $11.79.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this document, includes forward looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in or implied by these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Please also see the section titled “Forward Looking Statements.”

The following discussion contains references to calendar year 2021 and the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which represents the condensed consolidated financial results of Rani Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Unless we state otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Rani” and similar references refers to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Overview

We are a clinical stage biotherapeutics company focusing on advancing technologies to enable the administration of biologics and drugs orally, to provide patients, physicians, and healthcare systems with a convenient alternative to painful injections. We are advancing a portfolio of oral ~~biologic~~ therapeutics using our proprietary delivery technology.

We ~~have developed~~are developing and clinically ~~tested~~testing a drug-agnostic oral delivery platform, the RaniPill capsule, which ~~can~~is designed to deliver ~~any drug,~~a wide variety of drugs, including large molecules such as peptides, proteins, and antibodies. The current RaniPill capsule ~~can~~is designed to deliver up to a 3 mg dose of drug with high bioavailability. We are also developing a high-capacity version known as the RaniPill HC, which is in preclinical stage and which is intended to enable delivery of drug payloads up to 20 mg with high bioavailability. Our current RaniPill capsule is optimized to orally deliver a variety of ~~biologic~~ therapeutics and we are advancing development of the RaniPill HC to address biologics and drugs with higher dosing requirements. Together, we believe that the current RaniPill capsule and RaniPill HC could enable us to deliver most biologics currently on the market via a convenient, oral daily dose.

Since our inception in 2012, we have devoted the majority of our resources to research and development, manufacturing automation and scaleup, and establishing our intellectual property portfolio. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through ~~the~~an initial public offering ("IPO"), private placements of preferred units, issuance of convertible promissory notes, and contract revenue generated from our evaluation agreements.

We do not have any products approved for sale, and we have not yet generated any revenue from sales of a commercial product. Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability, if ever, will depend on the successful development of the RaniPill capsule, which we expect will take a number of years. Given our stage of development, we have not yet established a commercial organization or distribution capabilities, and we have no experience as a company in marketing drugs or a drug-delivery platform. When, and if, any of our product candidates are approved for commercialization, we plan to develop a commercialization infrastructure for those products in the United States, Europe, Asia, and potentially in certain other key markets. We may also rely on partnerships to provide commercialization infrastructure, including sales, marketing, and commercial distribution.

As is common with biotechnology companies, we rely on third-party suppliers for the supply of raw materials and active pharmaceutical ingredients ("APIs") and drug substances required for the production of our product candidates. In addition, we work with third parties to manufacture and develop biologics and drugs for inclusion in the current RaniPill capsule and RaniPill HC. Design work, prototyping and pilot manufacturing are performed in-house, and we have utilized third-party engineering firms to assist with the design of manufacturing lines that support our supply of the current RaniPill capsule and RaniPill HC. Certain of our suppliers of components and materials are single source suppliers. We believe our vertically integrated manufacturing strategy will offer significant advantages, including rapid product iteration, control over our product quality and the ability to rapidly scale our manufacturing capacity. This capability also allows us to develop future generations of products while maintaining the confidentiality of our intellectual property. Our vertically integrated manufacturing strategy will result in material future capital outlays and fixed costs related to constructing and operating a manufacturing facility. We have and plan to continue to invest in automated manufacturing production lines for the current RaniPill capsule and RaniPill HC. Those assets deemed to have an alternative future

use have been capitalized as property and equipment while those projects related to our assets determined to not have an alternative future use have been expensed as research and development costs.

Clinical Update

We completed the single-ascending dose portion (part 1) of our Phase 1 clinical study of RT-102, a RaniPill capsule containing a proprietary formulation of human parathyroid hormone (PTH) analog PTH (1-34) for the potential treatment of osteoporosis (“Study Part 1”). The Study Part 1 achieved all of its endpoints, with RT-102 being generally well-tolerated and demonstrating high oral bioavailability of our PTH analog. We have also initiated part 2 of the clinical study which will involve 7-day repeat dosing of RT-102 in healthy volunteers.

The single-center, open label, Study Part 1 of RT-102 was conducted in Australia, and evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of RT-102 in healthy adult female volunteers. Of the 39 participants, 15 were administered RT-102 containing a single 20μg dose of PTH and 14 were administered RT-102 containing a single 80μg dose of PTH, while a control group of 10 participants received a single 20μg subcutaneous (SC) injection of Forteo® (teriparatide), a commercial formulation of PTH for SC administration.

The endpoints of the Study Part 1 were safety and tolerability, and measurements of serum concentrations of RT-102 in healthy adult female volunteers.

Phase 1 Topline Results

Safety Data

•

RT-102 was generally well-tolerated, with no RaniPill-related adverse events (AEs) observed in study participants:

0% (0/15) of participants dosed with RT-102 20μg experienced drug-related AEs.

14% (2/14) of participants dosed with of RT-102 80μg experienced drug-related AEs.

50% (5/10) of participants dosed with 20μg of Forteo SC experienced drug-related AEs.

There were no serious adverse events (SAEs) noted during Study Part 1.

Per protocol, in instances where the RaniPill capsule did not exit the stomach within 7 hours, participants were excluded from the study. Based on the exclusion criteria, three participants were excluded from Study Part 1, one of whom experienced bloating, and one additional subject was excluded due to vomiting the capsule intact. The two events were assessed as probably related and possibly related to the RaniPill, respectively. In all instances, the capsule remnants passed from all participants who ingested the RaniPill capsule.

Across our two clinical studies of the RaniPill platform (Phase 1 clinical study of RT-101, a RaniPill capsule containing ocreotide, and Study Part 1 of RT-102), 81 subjects have received the RaniPill capsule and no RaniPill-related AEs were observed in participants included in the studies.

Pharmacokinetics

•

Oral RT-102 (20μg and 80μg) delivered PTH with 300%-400% greater bioavailability than PTH delivered by Forteo SC (20μg).

•

RT-102 20μg delivered PTH with lower, more sustained peak serum levels and higher area under the curve (AUC) than Forteo SC 20μg.


	Forteo SC 20μg	RT-102 20μg	RT-102 80μg
Cmax (pg/mL)	128 ± 20	98 ± 10	971 ± 223
Tmax (hr)	0.217	1.13	0.994
AUC (h*pg/mL)	126 ± 64	342 ± 36	2600 ± 649
Relative BA (5)	N/A	~300%	~400%

•

Although Study Part 1 did not include a head-to-head comparison with abaloparatide (Tymlos®), RT-102 80μg demonstrated a PK profile similar to abaloparatide at 80μg as reported in the package insert for Tymlos. Specifically:

abaloparatide at 80μg has a Cmax of 812 ± 118, while RT-102 80μg had a Cmax of 971 ± 223.

abaloparatide at 80μg has an AUC of 1622 ± 641, while RT-102 80μg had an AUC of 2600 ± 649.

Device Performance

•

Two versions of the RaniPill were used during Study Part 1: Version C, which was used in Rani’s Phase 1 study of octreotide (which also utilized a Version A and Version B); and Version D, the latest iteration of the RaniPill.

•

New RaniPill Version D demonstrated a higher drug delivery success rate than Version C:

95% (20/21) of participants received successful drug delivery when ingesting RaniPill Version D.

75% (6/8) of participants received successful drug delivery when ingesting RaniPill Version C.

The device performance analysis does not include participants excluded from the study per protocol, as drug delivery was not measured in such participants.

Rodent Study

In addition to Study Part 1 of RT-102, we also conducted a 6-week pharmacodynamic (PD) study of the RT-102 drug substance (DS) PTH (1-34) to evaluate the effect of daily RT-102 DS intraperitoneal (IP) injections on bone mineral density (BMD) in a rodent model of osteoporosis. The study compared two control groups of rodents undergoing sham surgery (N=10) and ovariectomy (OVX) (N=10) receiving no drug, to three OVX groups each dosed with 5 mcg/kg per day of either RT-102 DS (N=10), teriparatide (N=10), or abaloparatide (N=10).

The study found that, following six weeks of treatment:

•

RT-102 DS increased BMD in a rat model of osteoporosis.

•

RT-102 DS delivered via the RaniPill IP route of administration was biologically active comparable to SC injected PTH analogs.

Part 2 of the RT-102 Clinical Study

Part 2 of our Phase 1 clinical study of RT-102 is ongoing and will evaluate the safety, tolerability and PK of RT-102 in healthy women, 18-65 years of age, or healthy post-menopausal or surgically sterile with bilateral oophorectomy women, with once-a-day repeat dosing with 20µg dose of RT-102 for 7 days.

COVID-19 Business Impact

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. ~~The~~We believe that, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced delays due to the unavailability of vendors or delays in their availability with respect to research and development activities due to high demand or disruption to their business, delays in certain shipments of materials for our manufacturing, increases in prices charged by third parties for goods and services due to additional processes or costs resulting from COVID-19 procedures, disruption to travel which affects our ability to establish and maintain business relationships, and disruption to employee work schedules. While we have not experienced material impacts through June 30, 2022, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will further directly or indirectly impact our results of operation and financial condition has been and will continue to be driven by many factors, most of which are beyond our control and ability to forecast. Because of these uncertainties, we cannot estimate how long or to what extent COVID-19 will impact our operations.

Organizational Transactions

The Company was incorporated in April 2021 and formed for the purpose of facilitating an IPO of its Class A common stock, and to facilitate certain organizational transactions (“Organizational Transactions”) and to operate the business of Rani Therapeutics, LLC (“Rani LLC”) and its consolidated subsidiary. In connection with the IPO, we established a holding company structure with the Company as the holding company and its principal asset being the Class A common units (“Class A Units”) of Rani LLC that it owns. As the sole managing member of Rani LLC, the Company operates and controls all of Rani LLC’s operations, and through Rani LLC and its subsidiary, conducts all of Rani LLC’s business and the financial results of Rani LLC and its consolidated subsidiary are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Rani LLC has been, and after the IPO continues to be, treated as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes and accordingly has not been subject to U.S. federal or state income tax. The wholly owned subsidiary of Rani LLC, Rani Management Services, Inc. (“RMS”), which was incorporated in 2019, is taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal and most applicable state, local income tax and foreign tax purposes. As a result of its ownership of interests in Rani LLC ("LLC Interests"), the Company is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of any taxable income of Rani LLC and will be taxed at the prevailing corporate tax rates. In addition to tax expenses, we also incur expenses related to our operations and may be required to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement with certain of the individuals and entities that continue to hold interests in Rani LLC after the IPO (the "Continuing LLC Owners"). The Continuing LLC Owners are entitled to exchange, subject to the terms of the Rani LLC Agreement, the Class A Units they hold in Rani LLC, together with the shares they hold of our Class B common stock (together referred to as a "Paired Interest"), in return for shares of our Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis provided that, at our election, we may effect a direct exchange of such Class A common stock or make a cash payment equal to a volume weighted average market price of one share of Class A common stock for each Paired Interest redeemed. Any shares of Class B common stock will be cancelled on a one-for-one basis if, at the election of the Continuing LLC Owners, we redeem or exchange such Paired Interest pursuant to the terms of the Rani LLC Agreement. These exchanges and redemptions may result in increases in the tax basis of the assets of Rani LLC that otherwise would not have been available. Increases in tax basis resulting from such exchanges may reduce the amount of income tax that the Company would otherwise be required to pay in the future. This tax basis may also decrease the gains (or increase the losses) on future dispositions of certain assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those assets. Due to the uncertainty of various factors, we cannot estimate the likely tax benefits we will realize as a result of exchanges, and the resulting amounts we will likely pay out to the Continuing LLC Owners pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement; however, we estimate that such payments may be substantial in the event we are profitable. Certain individuals who continue to own interests in Rani LLC but do not hold shares of the Company’s Class B common stock (“non-corresponding Class A Units”) have the ability to exchange their non-corresponding Class A Units of Rani LLC for 1,387,471 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock.

Recent Developments

In August 2022, we entered into a loan and security agreement and related supplement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund, L.P (the “Lender”). The Loan Agreement provides for term loans (the “Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount up to $45.0 million. A Loan of $30.0 million is committed at closing, with $15.0 million funded immediately and $15.0 million available to be drawn between October 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022. The remaining $15.0 million of Loans (“Tranche 2”) is uncommitted and is subject to certain conditions and approval by the Lender. The purpose of the Loans is for general corporate purposes.

In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company issued to the Lender warrants to purchase 76,336 shares of its Class A common stock, as may be adjusted for certain anti-dilution adjustments, dividends, stock splits, and reverse stock splits, at an exercise price per share equal to $11.79.

The additional capital provided by the Loans strengthens our financial position and balances our near-term capital requirements to support the continued advancement of the RaniPill platform, including the RaniPill HC (high-capacity) device, and ongoing development of RT-102 and the Company’s product pipeline.

Components of Results of Operations

Contract Revenue

To date, we have not generated any revenue from commercial product sales and do not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of commercial products in the foreseeable future. Our only revenue to date has been derived from evaluation agreements, which has been recorded as contract revenue. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, we had no active evaluation agreements, and therefore we expect that our revenue for the next several years will be derived from any new agreements that may be executed in the future.

Our ability to generate commercial product revenue and to become profitable will depend upon our ability to successfully develop, obtain regulatory approval for and commercialize the RaniPill capsule and RaniPill HC. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, regulatory approval and commercialization, we are unable to predict the amount, timing or whether we will be able to generate any commercial product revenue.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consisted of research and development and general and administrative activities.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense consists primarily of direct and indirect costs incurred in connection with our research and development activities to develop the RaniPill capsule and RaniPill HC. These expenses include:

External expenses, consisting of:

•

expenses associated with contract research organizations ("CROs"), for managing and conducting clinical trials;

•

expenses associated with laboratory supplies, drug material for clinical trials, developing and manufacturing of the RaniPill capsule, RaniPill HC and other materials;

•

expenses associated with preclinical studies performed by third parties; and

•

expenses associated with consulting, legal fees for patent matters, advisors, and other external services.

Internal expenses, consisting of:

•

expenses including salaries, bonuses, equity-based compensation and benefits for personnel engaged in the research and development functions;

•

expenses associated with service and repair of equipment, equipment depreciation, and allocated facility costs for research and development; and

•

other research and development costs related to compliance with quality and regulatory requirements.

We expense research and development costs as incurred. Costs for external development activities are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using information provided to us by our vendors. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual agreements, which may differ from the pattern of costs incurred, and are reflected in our financial statements as prepaid or accrued research and development expenses. Nonrefundable advance payments that we make for goods or services to be received in the future for use in research and development activities are recorded as prepaid expenses. Such amounts are recognized as an expense as the goods are delivered or the related services are performed, or until it is no longer expected that the goods will be delivered, or the services rendered. Until future commercialization is considered probable and the future economic benefit is expected to be realized, we do not capitalize pre-launch inventory costs.

Costs of property and equipment related to scaling-up our manufacturing capacity for clinical trials and to support commercialization are capitalized as property and equipment unless the related asset does not have an alternative future use. The historical focus of our research and development has been on the RaniPill delivery platform and not tracked costs on a project-by-project basis associated with different drug compounds.

At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate or know the nature, timing, and estimated costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the development of, and obtain regulatory approval for, the RaniPill capsule and RaniPill HC. We expect our research and development expenses to increase significantly in the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in activities related to testing and developing the RaniPill capsule and RaniPill HC, as our product candidates advance into later stages of development, as we begin to conduct larger clinical trials, as we seek regulatory approvals for the RaniPill capsule and RaniPill HC upon successful completion of clinical trials, and incur expenses associated with hiring additional personnel to support the research and development efforts. The process of conducting the necessary clinical research to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time-consuming, the successful development of the RaniPill capsule and RaniPill HC is highly uncertain, and we may never succeed in achieving regulatory approval for the RaniPill capsule and RaniPill HC.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs (including salaries, bonuses, equity-based compensation, and benefits) for personnel in executive, finance, accounting, legal, corporate and business development, and other administrative functions. General and administrative expenses also include legal fees relating to corporate matters, professional fees paid for accounting, auditing, consulting, tax, and administrative consulting services, insurance costs, travel, and facilities, which include direct depreciation costs and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities and other operating costs.

We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase significantly in the foreseeable future as additional administrative personnel and services are required to manage and support the development of the RaniPill capsule and RaniPill HC. We also anticipate that we will incur increased expenses associated with operating as a public company, including costs of accounting, audit, legal, regulatory and tax-related services associated with maintaining compliance with exchange listing and SEC requirements, director and officer liability insurance, and investor and public relations.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net primarily consists of interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents.

Non-Controlling Interest

Non-controlling interest ("NCI") represents the portion of income or loss, net assets and comprehensive loss of our consolidated subsidiary that is not allocable to the Company based on its percentage of ownership of Rani LLC.

In August 2021, based on the Organizational Transactions, the Company became the sole managing member of Rani LLC. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company held approximately 48% of the Class A Units of Rani LLC, and approximately 52% of the outstanding Class A Units of Rani LLC are held by the Continuing LLC Owners. Therefore, we report NCI based on the Class A Units of Rani LLC held by the Continuing LLC Owners on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. Income or loss attributed to the NCI in Rani LLC is based on the Class A Units outstanding during the period for which the income or loss is generated and is presented on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income or loss.

Future exchanges of Paired Interests and non-corresponding Class A Units of Rani LLC will result in a change in ownership and reduce or increase the amount recorded as NCI and increase or decrease additional paid-in-capital when Rani LLC has positive or negative net assets, respectively. From the date of the Organizational Transactions to ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, there were ~~4,517,105~~4,626,639 exchanges of Paired Interests and 158,051 exchanges of non-corresponding Class A Units of Rani LLC for an equal number of shares of our Class A common stock.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In August 2021, in connection with the IPO and Organizational Transactions, we entered into a tax receivable agreement ("TRA") with certain of the Continuing LLC Owners. The TRA provides that we pay to such Continuing LLC Owners, 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, it is deemed to realize (calculated using certain assumptions) as a result of (i) increases in the tax basis of assets of Rani LLC resulting from (a) any future redemptions or exchanges of Paired Interests or non-corresponding Class A Units of Rani LLC and (b) payments under the TRA and (ii) certain other benefits arising from payments under the TRA (collectively the “Tax Attributes”).

A liability for the payable to parties subject to the TRA, and a reduction to stockholders’ equity, is accrued when (i) an exchange of a Paired Interest or non-corresponding Class A Units of Rani LLC has occurred and (ii) when it is deemed probable that the Tax Attributes associated with the exchange will be used to reduce our taxable income based on the contractual percentage of the benefit of Tax Attributes that we expect to receive over a period of time.

Relationship with InCube Labs, LLC

Services Agreements

In June 2021, Rani LLC entered into a service agreement with InCube Labs, LLC (“ICL”) effective retrospectively to January 1, 2021, and subsequently amended such agreement in March 2022 (as amended, the "Rani LLC-ICL Service Agreement"), pursuant to which Rani LLC and ICL agreed to provide personnel services to the other upon requests. Under the amendment in March 2022, Rani LLC has a right to occupy certain facilities leased by ICL in Milpitas, California and San Antonio, Texas (“Occupancy Services”) for general office, research and development, and light manufacturing. The Rani LLC-ICL Service Agreement has a twelve-month term and will automatically renew for a successive twelve-month periods unless terminated; except that the Occupancy Services in Milpitas, California have a term until February 2023, with the potential for two annual renewals, subject to approval by ~~ICL~~the landlord upon a nine months’ notice of renewal prior to the end of the lease term, and the Occupancy Services in San Antonio, Texas continue until either party gives six months’ notice of termination. Except for the Occupancy Services, Rani LLC or ICL may terminate services under the Rani LLC-ICL Service Agreement upon 60 days' notice to the other party. The Rani LLC-ICL Service Agreement specifies the scope of services to be provided as well as the methods for determining the costs of services. Costs are billed or charged on a monthly basis by ICL or Rani LLC, respectively.

The table below details the amounts charged by ICL for services and rent, net of the amount ~~that RMS~~ charged to ICL under the RMS-ICL Service Agreement, which is included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss (in thousands):

Financing activity

In March 2021, an outstanding notes receivable balance totaling $1.7 million, including all accrued interest, was fully repaid by ICL.

Exclusive License Agreement

In June 2021, we and ICL entered into an Amended and Restated Exclusive License Agreement which replaces the 2012 Exclusive License Agreement, as amended in 2013, and terminates the Intellectual Property Agreement, as amended in June 2013. Under the Amended and Restated Exclusive License Agreement, we have a fully paid, exclusive license under certain scheduled patents related to optional features of the device and certain other scheduled patents to exploit products covered by those patents in the field of oral delivery of sensors, small molecule drugs or biologic drugs including, any peptide, antibody, protein, cell therapy, gene therapy or vaccine. We will cover patent-related expenses and, after a certain period, we will have the right to acquire four specified

United States patent families from ICL by making a one-time payment of $0.3 million to ICL for each United States patent family that we desire to acquire, up to $1.0 million in the aggregate. This payment will not become an obligation until the fifth anniversary of the Amended and Restated Exclusive License Agreement. The Amended and Restated Exclusive License Agreement will terminate when there are no remaining valid claims of the patents licensed under the Amended and Restated Exclusive License Agreement. Additionally, we may terminate the Amended and Restated Exclusive License Agreement in its entirety or as to any particular licensed patent upon notification to ICL of such intent to terminate.

Non-Exclusive License Agreement between Rani and ICL (“Non-Exclusive License Agreement”)

In June 2021, we entered into the Non-Exclusive License Agreement with ICL, pursuant to which we granted ICL a non-exclusive, fully-paid license under specified patents that were assigned from ICL to us. Additionally, we agreed not to license these patents to a third party in a specific field outside the field of oral delivery of sensors, small molecule drugs or biologic drugs including, any peptide, antibody, protein, cell therapy, gene therapy or vaccine, if ICL can prove that it or its sublicensee has been in active development of a product covered by such patents in that specific field. ICL may grant sublicenses under this license to third parties only with our prior approval. The Non-Exclusive License Agreement will continue in perpetuity unless terminated.

Intellectual Property Agreement with Mir Imran (the “Mir Agreement”)

In June 2021, we entered into the Mir Agreement, pursuant to which we and Mir Imran agreed that we would own all intellectual property conceived (a) using any of our people, equipment, or facilities or (b) that is within the field of oral delivery of sensors, small molecule drugs or biologic drugs including, any peptide, antibody, protein, cell therapy, gene therapy or vaccine.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Source of Liquidity

We have not generated any revenue from commercial product sales and have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. We have not yet commercialized any products, and we do not expect to generate revenue from sales of commercial products for several years, if at all. We anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. Since our inception, we have devoted substantially all of our resources on organizing and staffing our company, business planning, research and development activities, including the RaniPill platform design, drug formulation, preclinical studies, clinical trials, manufacturing automation and scale up, establishing our intellectual property portfolio, and providing general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through an IPO, private placements of Rani LLC preferred units and the issuance of convertible promissory notes, with aggregate gross proceeds of $282.4 million, as well as contract revenue generated from evaluation agreements. In August 2021, we raised net proceeds of $73.6 million from the IPO. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of ~~$107.8~~$97.2 million. In August 2022, we entered into the Loan Agreement with the Lender for the Loans in an aggregate principal amount up to $45.0 million (See “—Recent Developments” above for a discussion of the Loan Agreement).

Since our inception, we have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations. Our net losses were ~~$13.8~~$29.8 million and ~~$5.6~~$11.1 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of ~~$14.6~~$22.2 million. We expect to continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future, and our net losses may fluctuate significantly from period to period, depending on the timing of and expenditures on our planned research and development activities. Until such time as we can generate sufficient revenue from commercial product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of equity offerings and debt financings, or other capital sources, which may include strategic collaborations or other arrangements with third parties. We may be unable to raise additional funds or to enter into such agreements or arrangements on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise capital or enter into such agreements as and when needed, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development or commercialization of one or more of our product candidates. Insufficient liquidity may also require us to relinquish rights to product candidates at an earlier stage of development or on less favorable terms than we would otherwise choose.

Tax Receivable Agreement

We entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement with certain of the Continuing LLC Owners in August 2021 in connection with the IPO. The Tax Receivable Agreement provides for our payment to certain of the Continuing LLC Owners of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that we are deemed to realize as a result of any basis adjustments and certain other tax benefits arising from payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. We will have in effect an election under Section 754 of the Code effective for each taxable year in which a redemption or exchange (including deemed exchange) of LLC Interests for shares of our Class A common stock or cash occurs. These Tax Receivable Agreement payments are not conditioned upon any continued ownership interest in either the Company or Rani LLC by such Continuing LLC Owners. The rights of such Continuing LLC Owners under the Tax Receivable Agreement are assignable to transferees of their LLC Interests (other than us as transferee pursuant to subsequent redemptions (or exchanges) of the transferred LLC Interests). We expect to benefit from the remaining 15% of tax benefits, if any, that we may realize.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, we have not recorded a liability under the TRA related to the income tax benefits originating from the exchanges of Paired Interest or non-corresponding Class A Units of Rani LLC as it is not probable that the Company will realize such tax benefits. To the extent the Company is able to realize the income tax benefits associated with the exchanges of Paired Interest or non-corresponding Class A Units of Rani LLC subject to the TRA,, the TRA payable would range from zero to ~~$19.9~~$20.4 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

becomes probable at a future date based on new information, any changes will be recorded on the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss at that time.

Future Funding Requirements

Based on our current operating plan, we estimate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through at least the next twelve months. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of the RaniPill capsule and RaniPill HC and because the extent to which we may enter into strategic collaborations or other arrangements with third parties for development of the RaniPill capsule and RaniPill HC is unknown, we are unable to estimate the timing and amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenses associated with completing the research and development of our product candidates.

To date, we have not generated any commercial product revenue. We do not expect to generate any commercial product revenue unless and until we obtain regulatory approval and commercialize any of our commercial product candidates, and we do not know when, or if at all, that will occur. We will continue to require additional capital to develop our product candidates and fund operations for the foreseeable future. Our primary uses of cash are to fund our operations, which consist primarily of research and development expenses related to our programs, manufacturing automation and scaleup, and general and administrative expenses. We expect our expenses to continue to increase in connection with our ongoing activities as we continue to advance the RaniPill capsule and RaniPill HC. In addition, we expect to incur additional costs operating as a public company.

We may seek to raise capital through equity offerings or debt financings, collaboration agreements, or other arrangements with other companies, or through other sources of financing. Adequate additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on our consolidated financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategies. We anticipate that we will need to raise substantial additional capital, the requirements of which will depend on many factors, including:

•

the progress, costs, trial design, results of and timing of our preclinical studies and clinical trials;

•

the progress, costs, and results of our research pipeline;

•

the willingness of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), or other regulatory authorities to accept data from our clinical trials, as well as data from our completed and planned clinical trials and preclinical studies and other work, as the basis for review and approval of the RaniPill capsule and RaniPill HC for various indications;

•

the outcome, costs, and timing of seeking and obtaining FDA, and any other regulatory approvals;

•

the number and characteristics of product candidates that we pursue;

•

our ability to manufacture sufficient quantities of the RaniPill capsules;

•

our need to expand our research and development activities;

•

the costs associated with manufacturing our product candidates, including establishing commercial supplies and sales, marketing, and distribution capabilities;

•

the costs associated with securing and establishing commercial infrastructure;

•

the costs of acquiring, licensing, or investing in businesses, product candidates, and technologies;

•

our ability to maintain, expand, and defend the scope of our intellectual property portfolio, including the amount and timing of any payments we may be required to make, or that we may receive, in connection with the licensing, filing, prosecution, defense, and enforcement of any patents or other intellectual property rights;

•

our need and ability to retain key management and hire scientific, technical, business, and engineering personnel;

•

the effect of competing drugs and product candidates and other market developments;

•

the timing, receipt, and amount of sales from our potential products, if approved;

•

our ability to establish strategic collaborations;

•

our need to implement additional internal systems and infrastructure, including financial and reporting systems;

•

security breaches, data losses or other disruptions affecting our information systems;

•

the economic and other terms, timing of and success of any collaboration, licensing, or other arrangements which we may enter in the future; and

•

the effects of disruptions to and volatility in the credit and financial markets in the United States and worldwide from the COVID-19 pandemic.

If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants that restrict our operations including limitations on our ability to incur liens or additional debt, pay dividends, make certain investments, and engage in certain merger, consolidation, or asset sale transactions. Any debt financing or additional equity that we raise may contain terms that are not favorable to us. If we raise funds through collaborations, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs, product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may be required to delay, reduce, or terminate some or all of our development programs and clinical trials. In addition, our ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by potential worsening global economic conditions and the recent disruptions to and volatility in the credit and financial markets in the United States and worldwide resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments

Rani LLC pays for the use of our facilities through the Rani LLC-ICL Service Agreement and RMS-ICL Service Agreement. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the future aggregate minimum lease payments associated with our service agreements with ICL for fiscal years 2022 (remaining ~~nine~~six months) and 2023 totaled ~~$0.9~~$0.6 million and ~~$0.8~~$0.7 million, respectively. Subsequently, in July 2022, the Company's notice of renewal was approved by the landlord for Occupancy Services in Milpitas, California, for an additional twelve month lease term. The future aggregate minimum lease payments associated with the additional Occupancy Services total $0.4 million.

In addition, we enter into agreements in the normal course of business with contract research organizations for clinical trials and with vendors for preclinical studies and other services and products for operating purposes, which are generally cancelable upon written notice.

See “—Recent Developments” above for a discussion of the Loan Agreement, which we entered into in August 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

For further information on our significant accounting policies, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

For a description of the expected impact of recent accounting pronouncements, see “Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Other Information

JOBS Act Accounting Election

We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act permits an emerging growth company like us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. We are electing to use this extended transition period and we will therefore comply with new or revised accounting standards on the earlier of (i) when they apply to private companies; or (ii) when we lose our emerging growth company status. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable with companies that comply with public company effective dates for accounting standards. We also rely on other exemptions provided by the JOBS Act, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act unless we cease to be an emerging growth company.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (1) December 31, 2026 (the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the closing of our initial public offering), (2) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, (3) the last day of the fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which would occur if the market value of our Class A common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700.0 million as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter of such year or (4) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost–effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in litigation or other legal proceedings. We are not currently a party to any litigation or legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

~~There~~Other than as described below, management believes that there have been no ~~material~~significant changes to the risk factors associated with our business as compared to those disclosed ~~under the heading “Risk Factors”~~ in Part 1, Item 1A of our ~~most recent~~ Annual Report on Form ~~10-K.~~10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Our European patents are presently being challenged in Europe

Our patent portfolio includes numerous issued European patents and pending European patent applications directed to various technical aspects of our business. The European Patent Office (“EPO”) provides for an opposition proceeding that could result in revocation of or amendment to a European patent. We are presently involved in opposition proceedings involving four of our European patents at the EPO, all of which opposition proceedings were asserted against us by Novo Nordisk AS.

The first opposition proceeding involves European Patent No. 2515992, which is generally directed to an ingestible device. In July 2021, the EPO issued a decision resulting in an amendment to the claims of the patent. We subsequently filed a notice of appeal with the EPO Appeal Board and we are awaiting a final decision.

The second opposition proceeding involves European Patent No. 2544668, which is generally directed to a therapeutic agent preparation. In December 2021, the EPO issued a decision resulting in revocation of the patent. We subsequently filed a notice of appeal with the EPO Appeal Board and we are awaiting a final decision.

The third opposition proceeding involves European Patent No. 3461478, which is in the same family as European Patent No. 2515992 noted above. In April 2022, the EPO issued a decision resulting in an amendment to the claims of the patent. We plan to file a notice of appeal with the EPO Appeal Board.

The fourth opposition proceeding involves European Patent No. 3653223, which is generally directed to a swallowable device. We are preparing an initial response to the EPO.

While we own numerous issued European patents and pending European patent applications, including several in the same patent families as the four patents noted above and which are not currently the subject of opposition proceedings, there is a risk that one or more of our issued European patents will be revoked, or have its claims amended, through an opposition process. If this were to happen to one of our European patents, the corresponding national patent in each European country in which the European patent was validated would similarly be revoked or have its claims amended. We believe that our current patent portfolio provides us with meaningful protection of the RaniPill technology in Europe even apart from the four European patents which are the subject of the current opposition proceedings. However, if the current or future opposition proceedings result in the revocation or amendment of one or more of our European patents that cover important aspects of our technology, it could have a material adverse impact on our ability to commercialize in Europe and/or a material adverse impact on our ability to defend against potential competitors in Europe.

There is a risk that we may face additional oppositions in Europe as additional European patents grant.

Our existing indebtedness contains restrictions that limit our flexibility in operating our business. In addition, we may be required to make a prepayment or repay our outstanding indebtedness earlier than we expect.

In August 2022, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement and related Supplement (collectively, the “Loan Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”), and Avenue Capital Management II, L.P., as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders (the “Agent”), which provides for term loans of up to $45.0 million in the aggregate available in two tranches. The Loan Agreement contains various covenants that limit our ability to engage in specified types of transactions. These covenants limit our ability to, among other things:

•

incur or assume certain debt;

•

merge or consolidate or acquire all or substantially all of the capital stock or property of another entity;

•

enter into any transaction or series of related transactions that would be deemed to result in a change in control of us under the terms of the agreement;

•

change the nature of our business;

•

change our organizational structure or type;

•

license, transfer, or dispose of certain assets;

•

grant certain types of liens on our assets;

•

make certain investments;

•

pay cash dividends; and

•

enter into material transactions with affiliates.

The restrictive covenants in the Loan Agreement could prevent us from pursuing business opportunities that we or our stockholders may consider beneficial.

A breach of any of these covenants could result in an event of default under the Loan Agreement. An event of default will also occur if, among other things, a material adverse effect in our business, operations, or condition occurs, which could potentially include a material impairment of the prospect of our repayment of any portion of the amounts we owe under the Loan Agreement. In the case of a continuing event of default under the Loan Agreement, the Lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable, proceed against the collateral in which we granted the Lenders a security interest under the Loan Agreement, or otherwise exercise the rights of a secured creditor. Amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of our existing and future assets, including intellectual property.

At closing, we drew on $15.0 million of the $30.0 million available to us as part of the first tranche. The Loan Agreement also gives us the ability to access an additional $15.0 million, which may be drawn in an additional tranche with the approval of the Agent and the Lenders and subject to the other terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement. If we are unable to satisfy these or other required conditions, or if the Agent and Lenders do not consent, as applicable, we would not be able to draw down the remaining tranche of financing and may not be able to obtain alternative financing on commercially reasonable terms or at all, which could adversely impact our business.

We may not have enough available cash or be able to raise additional funds on satisfactory terms, if at all, through equity or debt financings to repay or refinance our indebtedness at the time any such repayment is required. In such an event, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce, or terminate our product development or commercialization efforts. Our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected as a result.
